@get2sammyb Give me 4K versions of Killer 7 and Viewtiful Joe and I'll be happy.

It's too recent. It reminds me of Q magazine listing the top 100 albums of all time and OK Computer was number one and it had only been out a few weeks. If the poll was taken a couple of years later when the album wasn't as fresh in people's memory, the list would have been different.

Whats the bets that Nolan North or Troy Baker is playing the villain?

Bungie's shooters have always been 30FPS (nobody complained when it was Halo) and they have always been fantastic when it comes to the gunplay. I would have liked it but it is what it is. I'll still be buying it.

I reckon Beyond Good and Evil 2 or a new Splinter Cell will be the surprise finale.

Looking at Biowares best games, none of them are open world but they're all based on D&D or at least the ruleset. They should stick to that.

When a games selling point is the ability to do something we always could in past games....

You've managed to reference other adventure games except its two prequels (The Longest Journey and Dreamfall)? Er, ok.

@get2sammyb Yeah but I try and look at the positives. I was happy to spend that much at the time so I can't grumble too much.

Gutted, bought a PS4 Pro last Friday.

Backed it on Kickstarter. Can't wait to play it.

Despite buying it for my Mac, I've also just bought Torment: Tides of Numenera again on PS4. So I'll be playing that in between FFXIV/XV and Rocket League.

Hmm, might give it a try but I have ESO and FFXIV to scratch my MMORPG itch.

Could be on Jan 30 when the conference happens

Only played the reboot but the characters were so cliched, they made my teeth itch. You had the the massive black shaman guy, the American/ Japanese girl wanting to "get in touch with her Japanese roots" that she knew nothing about, the techie nerd guy and Lara who just sounded so dramatic in everything she said. Great game overall though, just bad writing.

I bought this from base.com for 16 quid the other day and it turned up today.

The combat in this was fantastic and car jacking mid drive was so much fun.

It's my favourite manga and still my favourite anime film. It's an all time classic. It's back in cinemas on Wednesday too.

You've never read or seen Akira??

Not quite as bad as this http://kotaku.com/last-week-microsoft-reportedly-sold-99-xbox-ones-in-ja-1754211746

4 the Players

I haven't played the original and I thought it was great. Can't wait to get on it again.

I only played a bit of the second game when it was on Games with Gold on 360. Might finally get round to playing them both in full now (though it's odd they've released them in reverse order).

Compare it to the old infinity engine RPG's (Fallout, Planescape, Baldur's Gate etc) and it's laughably simple and insultingly basic. Those games had many more outcomes but again, that could be down to it only being text and not fully voiced. It felt like every choice mattered whereas in Fallout 4, the outcome was the same no matter what dialogue option you picked.

Last years for Sony was incredible and will be hard to top (I don't think anyone ever will) so I'm interested in seeing what Microsoft are going to do (it helps that it's on at a reasonable time too)

@playstation1995 Well that's material for her next album sorted. Almost like it was part of the plan....

Between ESO and FFXIV, I might be able to squeeze this in too.

@viciousarcanum I'm guessing Soul Reaver 2 on the PS2 slipped by you then?

I bought NBA 2K14 shortly after I got my PS4 a few years back. I hadn't bought a basketball game since NBA Live 95 (used to be the only sport I liked back when I was a kid). Imagine my surprise when it turns out to be really complicated. It felt like I was playing FFXIV. The face buttons have different functions depending on the triggered you're holding, a far cry from the Mega Drives 3 button controller. Great graphics and ideally liked the daily update that was included (video highlights of NBA news) but too complicated for what I wanted at the time. Would definitely give it another go if the latest is a PS Plus title.

That looks more like Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid.

I had it on the original Xbox and the deadzone on the right analogue stick for this game was terrible, was it the same on PS2?

@Yaster To be fair, I've yet to meet anyone who is excited for Battleborn (and I mean people who are planning to buy it on release). As I've said before, I kept getting this game confused with Overwatch as both have very generic titles. It wasn't until I watched some videos that Overwatch caught my eye (or to be more precise, I went to Video Games Live in Manchester last month and they played a song from it alongside a CGI video which led me to delve deeper) and I'm quite interested. As for Battleborn, the first trailer I saw for that was just a load of characters shouting and appearing to be...edgy? Cool? Likeable? Not sure how I'd describe it. So yeah, I'm in the same boat as many others and it's not really "cool all of a sudden to be down on Battleborn", it's been like that from the start as far as I can tell.

"The launch trailer for Battleborn is in. The game's due out on the PlayStation 4 next week"

Straight to the point, love it

Doesn't appeal to me either, more looking forward to Overwatch. Just got FFXIV though so I'm guessing all my gaming time will be in that for the foreseeable future.

Never really liked Crash that much, maybe due to the time it came out, Super Mario 64 and NiGHTS were released (both better than Crash in my opinion).

@WARDIE I can understand waiting for the disc release but the game is ready now, can't they at least put it on the playstation store for those that want to get a digital version?

I thought Sammy would be chiming in

The logo looks awfully similar to Paragon's.

Why are there always so many nerfs? Why not just make new weapons that are better than those? This surely can't be the same team that made Halo 3. I remember there being 1 or 2 at the most patches for that. It was nigh on perfect.

I keep getting this confused with Overwatch. Must be the generic and utterly forgettable titles they both have. Overwatch looks quite fun though.

Ugh, if they offered a discount from trading in my original PS4 (Sony themselves, not GAME) then I may bite.

I think the bigger thing though is cross platform between rival consoles which hasn't been done before. In other news, I'm totally getting a PSVR at launch.

I've pre-ordered the special edition, would rather they get my money than identikit shooter #238. Even if the game doesn't turn out to be amazing, at least they tried to be different.

I just want to change my PSN ID

This is an insane amount of money when you consider that's an extra 1.3 billion a year before all of this DLC business was the norm. Fair play to them. I don't care for Fifa personally but when you're making that much money, you'd be mad to stop.

The thing is, during the PS3 days when having a PS Plus subscription wasn't mandatory for playing online, there were triple A (hate to use that term but it's all I've got) games being given away every month to lure people on board. Now you need PS Plus to play online and it seems all we get are indie games. I'm not fussed as I like them but I can understand peoples problem, there must surely be more subscribers than last gen that Sony are earning much more money and therefore can throw us a bone more often than they do (Injustice was the last "big" game I remember, over a year ago).

Fallout isn't even a great RPG let alone worthy of being game of the year.

@Shillll Thanks for the reply. I may have to invest in a stick then...

@Shillll One thing I would like to know if you (or anyone else) can confirm? I read the other day that other USB devices are supported. I have the Xbox 360 SFIV control pad from a few years back. it works great as a generic USB controller on my PC, would this have the same affect on SFV on PS4 or are the insides too much like a 360 pad and won't work at all?

I' ve never met anyone who has played this game. Of all the sequels Sony could make and this is what they choose? Where's Wipeout when you need it?

@Dodoo A Ubisoft dev commented on this story over on Euro gamer. Apparently, they can't test it on retail PS4's. To do so, the game has to be released first.
