@SonyInfinity "Finding that balance between innovation and maintaining what's popular can be tricky.". You said it ,man. And that's exactly where Nintendo seems to be always struggling.
An extra like this is harmless, but in most games it's always something more, like exclusive quests. It sure feels good to be on the exclusive side, but nobody wants to be left out. Most of these deals are coming to PS4 users, as far as I can remember, with Rise of The Tomb Raider being the biggest exception. This practice should just be banned forever.
@FullbringIchigo The Wii U is a year older than the other two. It's not unnatural that it sold more than the Xbox One in its lifetime. The PS4 is the major success for outselling (by far) the Wii U in ± half of the time. If you want to compare the Xbox One with the Wii U check the sales of both in their first year. It's a huge difference.
I'm a little confused. If I download the games now, are they mine forever? Or will I only be able to play them in the weekend, like Xbox did with Sunset Overdrive?
Great article Sammy! Those that start discussions like this are the ones I enjoy the most.
I don't think this first year of PS4 and Xbox One has been great... For all the reasons that everybody's already pointed out. But I do think that it will get substantially better by the end of next year. Hopefully PS4 and Xone will have a terrific E3 2015, and a great holiday period for 2015 with games that deserve to be called next gen...
And since everybody's also talking about Nintendo... It's got a positive vibe around it this year, MK8 and Smash Bros took Wii U to another level, along with a great E3 2014. Hopes up to a greater 2015.

"...the revised artstyle actually works okay in motion and the physics look slightly better..."

Re: Uh Oh, Jason Voorhees Is in Mortal Kombat X
I wish Freddy would return! It'd be awesome and nostalgic to have a fight between those two!
Re: Titanfall 2 Mechs Its Way to PlayStation 4
@FullbringIchigo The Xbox One sure didn't sell as much as the PS4, but I wouldn't call it "poor sales", not even in the messy launch.
Re: Reaction: Project Morpheus Seems Impressive, But Also a Hard Sell
I'll definitely buy it eventually. The price will only determine how long it will take.
Re: Minecraft: Story Mode Is the Latest Episodic Adventure from Telltale Games
Looks like they're just trying to make money out of the huge Minecraft community.
