It will be great, but much more freeform than people expect - prepare to plan your own goals...etc...as an avid reader of Sci-fi this game let's me live any number of fantasy's I've had since being a child.

@get2sammyb Indeed, your site reviews more games than any other, so to us you're a great resource, perhaps a tag of "technically inept" could accompany games which may or may not be a good experience but are hampered by performance issues. I agree with your points, it's just that there's so much dross on the store these days.
@get2sammyb Deadly stuff, I agree that games are subjective, but an objective measure is do they run correctly or are they finished? Perhaps a few could be culled from the store on that basis.
@Bazza78 Looking at the Wii U, it has nice exclusives but nothing else, devs & publishers deserted it due to a lack of power and a lack of user base....I think Sony will have to alter the specs on Neo or hurry up with a PS5 and launch within a year of Scorpio.
Microsoft wish to get back on top, the only way to do that is to bring out the Scorpio before Sony can bring out the PS5. The Neo can't compete with the Scorpio with its current specs. It's going to be interesting in the next couple of years. But one good thing will be backwards compatibility on the new platforms....they are all x86 Linux or Windows (virtual machine) boxes, so playing old games at 700p or 1080p should be fine, besides the TV will upscale to 4k on the fly....
It will output movies in native 4k, games will be 1080p. The 4k TV will upscale the games on the fly. Watching my mates Sony 4k tv do this with the current Ps4 was very impressive....the bravia tech in Sony TV's is mighty.
Console as a service. Standard server in your gaff. Download and run the PlayStation service. Play PS8 games. Or download the Xbox service and play Xbone 3 games. Ultimately everything is shifting to a service model
@Reverandjames Good to hear an honest opinion on it, from other reviews, it looked great, but the mention of the explosions causing framerate dips is alarming as the game is explosions... Thanks dude....
@Reverandjames Wow, what's up with it...the dodgy framerate? Was thinking of getting it, but held back. Playing Dishonoured Definitive Edition on PS4....awesome game....love it....
@get2sammyb If we could gift games we no longer want to our PSN friends, it would be excellent. Plus deleting old crap from our library would be great. Don't see an upside for Sony though with all this....

@RPE83
Excellently put, it hasn't been until now that this sort of game was possible with this level of immersion, so it's going to be a trip.😉

Exactly, it's a labour of love for the studio

Re: Store Update: 12th July 2016 (Europe)
Killstrain is F2P, so maybe it's worth a shot, though I'm juggling SWBF, PVZ2 & Hawken at the moment....it's gonna get confusing😂

Re: Review: Energy Hook (PS4)
BTW, any chance of a Hawken review? It seems quite good fun....
Re: Review: Energy Hook (PS4)
The store needs a curator.....there's some amount of rubbish on it now.....

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with July's PlayStation Plus Games?
@RawShark
Well maybe not Knack, but you'd think they would have offered it by now. 😃
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with July's PlayStation Plus Games?
Shovel Knight, ADIOS, Alienation, Knack, Killzone, Dariusburst,....etc are the quality of games I expect....they do make $800000000 a year on this....
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with July's PlayStation Plus Games?
Meh, will probably delete the games as usual after playing for a while and seeing that they are rubbish.

Re: E3 2016: Sony Will Not Bifurcate the Market with PS4K
@get2sammyb
Indeed, just look at all the woeful shovelware on the PS store, zero curation or quality control....and the system is only 3 years old.

Latest news is that Scorpio will be more powerful than Neo, perhaps Sony will have to up their game.
