On topic: it's cool the kid figured that out about the level editor. Let's get that person making our games

@ReigningSemtex not trying to troll, but how do you think Bethesda etc. feels after working so hard on progressing the software side of development in terms of making the pixels LESS visible? Motivated to work hard on the next TES/Fallout, or unmotivated?

@Swiket the teeth... He's gonna eat me

@Johnnycide oops I "misquoted"
I feel that way too. In the famous words of AVGN: "...another ...f*cking ...space shooter."

@ReigningSemtex in regards to him creating a piece of art, it's lazy and corporate. If MC's functions exist in every engine with a 3-d accelerated 1st/3rd person environment, is it still impressive to make one with giant (super easy) pixels? Not even arguing Rembrandt vs Monet, because the pixelation isn't used as a style to fool your eye into thinking it sees more than they really do, but rather trying to be retro by looking "8-bit" even tho kids don't even know what gameboys are! (MC's style is 16-bit, too. Not 8. SMH) Good for whoever and all that, but boo to r****ding the progress we're making as a community in game programming as an artform! 😜

_{Couldn't you have picked a better word? - get2sammyb}

Oh, this game. It's just so boring to actually play that I don't care enough to play it more than occasionally. The tangible experience is pushing square (teehee) to hack, aiming EXACTLY at something to prompt hacks, and driving around invincible cars. You try to do something and the game makes you do something else! Then you lose and you're just SOMEwhere on the map. I also wanted to like it after loving Driver 1-3

I still say transparent colors a la N64 et al

@Dohv yeah my big Sony headphones are black with silver accents. So is my ASUS laptop and tv and my VITA! It's pretty looking alright, but maybe not after the seams fill with black hand crud 😁 (not to beat a dead horse)

Because PS2!
For serious. Lost of folks like me made up their minds about the PlayStation brand (which usually isn't prudent to do!) during the late PS1 days and we don't regret it. Japan went crazy for ps2 and how much better is 4 than 2 was! A thousand?

So minecraft is extraordinarily basic and probably within the means of any game engine because of it's simplicity? Lol I knew I didn't like it but now I can't respect it either

Yeah I spent an hour erroneously trying to run around the burry red circuit as many times as the number they whisper to you. I still can't get the baby to cry or call or what the heck you do. It's like GZ being "2 hours" long.

I've honestly never had lag or connection issues other than long day-one waits cause people were still buying it. Didn't realize we were still missing maps grr!

They said it: controller, framerate, resolution, expansion pack, nemesis, item trading = yes I bought it

I really hope Silent Hill5 will be more like the Team Silent games than Homecoming/Downpour and really really hope P.T. is secretly a tech demo for Silent Hill 4 Remastered. Or at least be 3rd p most of the time and 1st sometimes like 4 did really successfully. I need reciprocity for no HD SH4 in the PS3 collection

@SimonAdebisi well then that just doesn't make sense as a playable experience. I thought each person was supposed to get their own blot of procedurally generated space in the same galaxy, and as you go where others have before you, you see the other players' content while it's still 100% new to you. So it's a kind of race to the galactic core to see what your pro-gen'd core will look like... but say a million people buy it; that's still 5,000 years per person at 1 second per planet? I must not get it.

@Oculon I'm sure they have a structure to their design which will keep us surprised. And the point is to reach "Coruscant," not to compare each detail you see to the last. If we went to our solar system and saw Uranus right after Neptune, we'd say "lazy programming! Another blue gas planet" But then we'd see Earth with intelligent life and oceans and mountains. I'm hoping there'll be monitored diversity among systems, not just random random random

I'm pissed they didn't offer a discount for TLOU if you already bought it. They're both worthy of porting, but dang... $130 plus $30 for TLOU collectors book w/out dlc.... I'd be at $120 for GTA5 too. Can't do that for every game. I'll have to see if there's a discount but why would there be? 😩

Oh my god Bethesda remastered duo packs: TES4 & 5 / FO3 & NV. PC versions on PS4. Take my money.

@kupo you mean like the apartment scenes of SH4: The Room to which this demo obviously alludes? 😛 Those other games copied SH (not that it really matters, just sayin')

@SimonAdebisi oh duh that's what I was thinking of (slaps forehead). Cool that there's another coming out.

@SimonAdebisi is "Rec" the Brit version of the Mexican original of the same name, which in America is called Paranormal Activity? Invisible ghost pulls you outta bed by your ankles, etc?
On topic: YESSSSSSSSS! I went to Disneyland yesterday but this makes me so much happier!

@voodoo341 every other movie about a couple/duo has been able to. 2 hrs is a lot of cutscenes.
I say it should star a genuine Texan cowboy, snotty teenager, pissed lady, hick brother, gay friend, and last but not least a pissed gay snotty teenager friend. It'll be harder to buy the story in live action, so I sincerely hope it's amazeballs. I wonder what gets cut out? I mean isn't every scene important?😟

@Chouzetsu he's playing Winter Games
http://cinemassacre.com/2009/12/25/winter-games/

@AeroZeppelin I'd love to see the misnomers of "AAA" and "indie" expand into more accurate descriptors for the bouquet of genres that have come to be. It used to suffice to describe the gameplay genre (2-d horizontal platformer = Mario, DK, Metroid, Castlevania, etc etc) (FPS = Doom, Wolfenstein, rainbow six, etc). Now that games are 1 accessible anywhere and 2 made by anyone, we wrongly call it what used to make sense when it'd be more accurate to coin new identities for the new types of games we're seeing become more popular than the classic console vs phone ideology. I'm playing KoTOR on my iphone for example. Am I indie or mainstream??

This is why our courts are so backed-up. Lawsuits are to make a person "whole" again after incurring "damages" to their life/liberty/property, NOT for acquiring wealth or financial stability. The issue is if he lost anything by playing the game = nope! Weak sauce

I just got a transparent red ds3. It'd be cool to have a whole console like that, maybe smokey black but still transparent most places

@SimonAdebisi lol me too. Does anyone but moms use FB? (honestly wondering; I don't use it because my mom does!) Can't wait til that fad dies out... I didn't know it picked your actual friends, that's endearing
I really like the factions mp. Notwithstanding internet problems, I could play it for hours without getting too frustrated or bored (BF4 ahem!) and there's no real exploits or anything to make you feel cheated

@Davros79 PSN = popularity contest
If you'll insert any ol' cruddy game into your ps just to show other gamerz your 1337ness, then you're a caricature. It's fun to go thru and see what you or your friends have acquired from games you enjoy, but SingStar plats undoubtedly give bogus rank boosts. I bought guides to eventually plat my favorite games, but not for anyone else's approval or even knowledge. I hate social media!

I would still love a direct continuation of the game's plot in novel form. Or another game either set during the original or before/after, with a Venn diagram overlap of characters. Or a movie picking up right as [SPOILER] Sarah dies, as in not "20 years later." Or anything to give more context to this alternate reality to which we all reacted so well!

@get2sammyb "Premium demos" sure sounds like a euphemism to me. Renting anything is stupid, just buy it or don't. Maybe then Darwinism could return to the media and devs would be motivated to earn their keep

lol it's not the AFK notifier?

@Mrskinner it's only $30 for ps3 trilogy then you can compare!

@mitcHELLspawn oh, I'm just still on the fence about the totality of the experience, not the plot/gameplay which I enjoyably endured a few times already on ps3 (being survival horror and all). I meant that the sp had über input lagz0r and my mp experience was hindered by my fatty's wifi card from 2006 (even at "28mb/s"DL) and I'm expecting great things from both on ps4. For the record, I've consciously denied myself from playing the sp (or mp really) for about 6 months in anticipation. We always remember experiences through emotional lenses, so I'll try playing it like a classic SH/RE more than an action game like Downpour or Uncharted. We'll see tomorrow!

@SimonAdebisi mp was more fun than sp IMO. Only lag was a problem (duh)

Oh well, they released another absolutely contemporary game. "Looks like the PC version with maxed settings" uhhhhh perfect?

Softer shadows look bad? Look around you in real life; soft or sharp? I chose 60@1080 duh

Gotta love Abe

Too bad the install size is the same for disc and digital. That's a lotta bytes

Yeah it looks just like SH1 (because it is). Can't wait for the 28th

Hah I noticed that but I assumed they meant the trailer was free

@Paranoimia I set mine to dim (for the sake of my poor cat's vision). there's no way I'd notice unless I use a tv by a mirror. Even at night it's bright enough to see, but not enough to see by.
They don't mean there's no on-screen health bar, do they? (I'd play without a HUD i.e. ranger mode)

Although, Teddie isn't afraid to venture into strange openings and destroy stuff from the inside...

@kingston589 chomp gulp

PC modding is ridiculously easy, nigh automatic, nowadays. Only thing we need brains for is load orders, which kinda prevents console modding. It'd be so freakishly buggy if it didn't do everything perfectly each boot

@FullbringIchigo great, now I have to replay 4 to see if it was Kiefer

@FullbringIchigo word. Only way it makes any sense. Although Big Boss' voice has been firmly established as Hayter in MGS3, PO, and PW (even the HD versions) so I'm still wary of a Decoy Octopus-like situation. There's incontinuity regardless

Guess I'll get Worms since I have everything else

@tenderbeefcake I really wish they'd made different walk/run/crawl/reload/etc. cycles instead of reusing the (presumably) ps2 animations!

@RudysaurusRex I'm surprised too. I could tell the ps4 framerate was high, but that XB tearing is ridonkykongulous. I don't care how slowed down the video is.
@get2sammyb isn't it still proportional if they're both slowed down the same amount, though? Not hating on MS, but I was even disappointed by it's graphics on ps4, so good thing I bought Sony 😕

@eaglebob345 I'm picturing an old white/beige PC mouse with black gunk made of skin cells and sweat caked into every relieved lettering, logos, and seams. I have clammy anxiety hands, so I guess I'm sticking with black ctrlers with black silicone cover thing

@JaxonH oh, I agree whole-heartedly. I just assumed this game in particular was being marketed to the Halo folks, who in my experience are more mature (even if they were teenage) and into the darker undertones of that series. I'm absolutely desensitized after Silent Hill etc., but that shouldn't be held against me I get that they want a wider target market but apparently it's alienating me
