Yeah, I didn't know that. My statement was based off of my Gold account I had on my 360. So both are even in that category on the current generation.
As a former subscriber to Gold and a current subscriber to Plus, I can honestly say that in my opinion, Gold is superior.
No one has stated the most obvious reason and that's because once you download those Gold games they are yours no matter if you have a current Gold Subscription or not. Once my subscription runs out for Plus, I'll loose access to every game I downloaded.
I think it's going to be an epic E3 in general. There are so many big games that were briefly shown last year that should be another year into development and that much closer to release. I'm looking forward to the big 3's press conference/presentations. They are all in completely different positions. Sony seems to have the most games to show updates for and some of those are huge games. Nintendo with the recent release of the Switch must show that games are coming to support their good sales. Microsoft needs to get back in the game! I feel that Microsoft is going to surprise everyone. I think people are sleeping on them.
I'm jealous once again! All we get is Ubisoft and Santa Monica again! Although I don't own Journey yet so maybe I'll get that....but I wouldn't even think about "not" buying Metal Gear at that price!
I've always approached DLC with an open mind. Sometimes we're clearly getting ripped off and the content is stuff that should have been in the game. Other times, it's clearly new content and it's worth every single penny. In fact, DLC isn't always at a cost to the consumer. The last two Monster Hunter titles on the 3DS offered free content every single month at no cost.
No thank you, I'll stick with Smash. Honestly, I love some of the big Sony character in their own games, but for some reason I can't get on board with them mixed into a Smash clone.
Great games for both sides. I would have been happy with either game. I never heard of Aliennation but after taking a look at it, it looks really cool. I'll settle for ABZU and maybe pickup Aliennation at a later date.
I doubt we'll see it but it would make sense to make Star Wars Battlefront one of the games for May. With Microsoft getting other Star Wars games, this would be Sony's chance to one-up them again. Also, it would be great advertisement for EA and the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront game.
I think that the new character designs are atrocious and the new name is uninspired. It makes the entire series sound and look like a shovelware game for the Wii!
However, I have great memories of playing Hot Shots Golf 3 with my friends and family on the PS2. One of the best features was the characters. Also, I really enjoyed how you could talk trash on your opponents while they were mid-swing.
I used to play Hot Shots Golf on the PS2 a lot! I'm excited and hopeful that we'll see this in NA. Like others, I'm a bit disappointed in the character models as well.
I skipped the PS3 so I'm catching up on the classics that I missed. I already previously bought the Nathan Drake Collection, now I have my eyes set on The Last of Us for a mere $7.99. I would probably buy more but we just purchased MLB The Show '17.
I can't wait for this! They talk about Skyrim on the Switch if it doesn't come out by then. Other then that, I'm predicting a brand new game that is not Fallout or Elder Scrolls related.
Forza and Gears are awesome! I believe the Rare Pirate game will be good as well but we shall see. I personally have more local friends with Xbox One then I know with PS4, Switch, & Wii U.
@rjejr I'm not sure if you're into racing games or not, but the Forza games are the best in class IMO. Also, my local friends are really into Gears 4 right now.
@rjejr I'm hoping for a big sale in the NA too. Like you, I'm new to the PS4 party too and there are many games that I missed out on that I would like to own. If NA does get a similar sale, I hope it's not like the "essentials" sale which both NA and EU had. In that sale, NA was clearly missing a lot of games that EU had on sale.
I never saw the appeal back in the PS days but I gave the demo a try back in January because of the hype I heard about this game. My first impression was, "this is a remastered game?". I kind of thought I mistakenly downloaded the demo for the original.
My second impression was that the demo level of the diner/restaurant was not that fun. I knew it was a rhythm game but I didn't know the game play was that basic. It honestly reminded me of a flash game my sons would play when they were toddlers.
While the music that I've heard is very catchy and charming, I will skip this game with no afterthought. I will only give this game another try if it's free through Playstation Plus someday. I apologize if I sound too harsh to fans, and I appreciate the fact that they are releasing this for fans of the original.....but this is clearly not for me.
@GlynCR I tend to play online in chunks. I'll play a particular game online for a week or two and then not touch it for a couple weeks. I was playing FIFA 17 & Battleborn but I'm finally playing through all the Uncharted games since I never owned a PS4 until recently.
I almost bought Star Wars Battlefront on many occasions but with "2" right around the corner, I might as well wait at this point.......unless I find the entire package super cheap like Battleborn.
I believe Capcom has already said that the games that use the current graphic engine are done, meaning that a new and improved one is already on the way. Now whether that's on a Sony or Nintendo system or both, who knows besides Capcom. All I know is that I'm covered. I have the PS4, Wii U, & "New" 3DS; and at some point within the year, I'll buy the Switch.
All I know, is that the MH series on the 3DS is one of my current favorite series on all consoles. There's a learning curve that you must get over first but once you do, the series gives back sooooo much.
The name is fitting since that's what they called the block of cartoons that played every weekday that these games were based off of. Every single one of those games was fun to play. Although I never played the Darkwing Duck game or the NES version of Tailspin. I owned the TG16 version of Tailspin but that was a platformer, not a side scrolling shooter. Looking forward to playing these again.
This doesn't look that great to me. I don't plan on picking this up. I think there are better options as far as platformers go on the market right now.
I've had fun playing so far. I have issues with my thumb accidentally slipping and hitting the "Playstation button" and jumping me out to the console home screen. That sucks when you're in a heated match online.
Is the demo that is currently in the Playstation store for this game? If so, no thank you. I missed out on the original so I was excited to see what all the hype is about, so I downloaded the demo. I thought the demo was terrible. This can't be the "HD" remake can it?
@ShogunRok I looked for a Switch "casually" on Friday night and I couldn't find one. My younger brother who lives in a more rural area about 3+ hours south of me in another state, couldn't find one either. He looked all weekend.
@stevie85 I just recently got a PS4, but prior to that, our primary console was a Wii U. We have absolutely no regrets buying that system and I don't feel that there were any time when I personally said, "there are no games to play". Yes, maybe there was physically less games, but I feel that some of those games IMO, had a longer playability for me then what I own so far for my PS4. But this is also personal taste I feel. Honestly, if I had no responsibilities and unlimited money, then I would own every system! But I don't so it doesn't make sense for me.
On the topic of the Switch though, I'm leaning towards waiting till this fall to pick one up.
I almost preordered this the other day but held off. I'm on the fence about the Switch and there are so many PS4 games that I've yet to play that I can buy at a fraction of the cost of Horizion. However, this game looks terrific. I can't wait to play it at some point.
After playing the beta a couple weekends ago, I honestly felt it was like a lot of Ubisoft games....a rental or "wait for sale" game! It was really fun learning the fighting system at first but it grew repetitive to me by the end of the weekend.
While playing through The Last Guardian, I couldn't help but think that I wish it was on a Nintendo system. The graphics would have been worst, but they would have fixed the horrible camera & control issues that I experienced while playing through the game. Oh well, it was memorable and I couldn't put it down once I started it.....I just wanted to spike my controller into the floor on multiple occasions because the issues I had.
I thought that after reading the review about this game, I would be able to say "buy" or "wait" but I still can't decide. There are so many games I've yet to play on the PS4 and I'm still on the fence about the Switch.
....I'll probably hold off on both and play through the lengthy backlog.
I took part in the Beta this past weekend and while I won't come out say that it's bad, I also don't think it's that great either. In my opinion, I found it very unbalanced and very repetitive....but I thought it was a unique take on online multiplayer.
I don't think the 5-6 hour campaign would be an issue if the general gameplay and multiplayer was better. In the past, I've logged many hours of COD because the online multiplayer was fun in spite of the short the single player was. I gave this Beta a good try on Friday & Saturday but come Sunday I was done.

Re: The Order: 1886 Can Be Yours for Thruppence on PS4

Re: Rumour: Far Cry Is Going Straight to the Wild, Wild West
I have no problem with a western theme, although I personally think it's a bad idea with Red Dead Redemption 2 coming out.
I would be in favor of them losing the "Far Cry" name altogether at this point.....but maybe that's just me.

Re: April PlayStation Plus Games Revealed
