zombies are treated as some kind of second class citizen.

@mitcHELLspawn I didn't think they were zombies. I thought they had a virus? They're small pox zombies? And fast runners, too. They should be in the Olympics.

Why are they kept out of the Olympics? Is it some kind of zombie racism? It reminds me of Resident Evil 5. Now that was a game with a great story in it. Truly Shakespearean.

@SKC_Diamond of course not.

@get2sammyb It's not possible to take seriously. Anything about zombies is stupid. They never made any sense. What happens when zombies eat all the humans? Do they eat each other? Why are they eating flesh? Is it brains or flesh they prefer? Why does getting bit by one turn you into one? You don't even have to die first, even though they're supposed to be risen from the grave.

Ppl who play a game like this for its story should be neutered. They play it to have fun killinng zombies and from what I've seen on forums people are liking it for that

I don't see it actually. They never matched the early PS4 announcement video (CG?) but everything else since then has been on about the same level.

I'm really enjoying TxK so far but I want to try almost all these. I wish Danganronpa 1 was on sale and not just the sequel ( I hear you shouldn't start with the second).

It'd be cool if Sony signed them up to do a sequel with Playstation characters in this cartoony form - licensed Crash, Kratos, Joel, Kat, etc.

1 question: Did it knock out Sony's services in japan too or was it just in the west? I get the impression a lot of the communication troubles at Sony are due to language barriers in the corporate structure.

Although I've warmed up to this version of Tetris some (I do find it very "cold" feeling at first like the author describes) I wish Puyo Puyo Tetris was out here for a "fun" version (at least on Vita where you'd think Tetris Ultimate would be too).

How does it make financial sense for them to give away so much?

It sounds like a much better way to watch TV. Cable channels are so disorganized and messy with most providers and have slow ugly software, remotes, etc.

I assume it'll be available on PS TV too given the name.

It simply costs too much to make enough great games for every console or platform. If all the best games from the major platforms were pooled together onto one (like PC) then it would be a fair year, but it's spread too thin across so many devices.

Developers ought not to be afraid to offer games at lower resolutions, such as 1280x720, if it helps with the framerate. They could provide the options in the video settings.

@Punished_Boss_84 haha I hope they don't fix that bug

That's awesome

There ought to be a website or article that catalogs all the delays in the history of video games! I wonder what the percentage is that actually get released on time.

I'd like to see Vita price drops. I think they should sell it in stand-alone editions in the U.S.: black and white as color options, at $139.99 or $159.99, and memory cards at $10, $20, $40, $60 respectively (introducing the 64gb option to the west and no longer selling 4gb versions).

The Vita's built up quite a good library by now, with a lot of titles that aren't found anywhere else.

I guess this is for young people (age 14 or so).

I think bundles are cool if they're actually special (like the Dragon Quest edition of PS4) but when it's just the outer box that's different and a digital code inside it's not enticing. Actually it feels more insulting. Especially when the prices are about the same as buying this stuff separately.

With Vita (2000) I'd rather just buy it stand alone at $140-$160, but they want to tack on $40 extra for a game I don't want. I know I can sell the code, but why make the consumer go to this kind of trouble?

In other words, the core editions should always be the main thing and the bundles should be special limited editions, more appealing to collectors.

If they want to make PS4s more unique (not everyone wants black or solid colors) they could sell faceplates separately.

Too many "@" tags in the Twitter link (goes over character count)

I'm a Playstation fan but I don't get why this would win. There's probably been far more interesting and innovative products this year. This seems more like a popularity contest or beauty contest. PS4 is definitely the most beautiful, especially in that picture up top...

I found the game frustrating at first, but then I switched to first person (press down on the d-pad a few times) and it becomes so much easier to aim and not crash into things! Definitely recommended that way. Now I'm liking it a lot. Some levels are quite beautiful, like Purple City.

@GamerZack7 hehe actually wait if Rodimus is orange and gray (more like red, orange, yellow!) then Atari Lynx might be the best fit??
Actually a lot of these are hard to think of systems for. hm

@GamerZack7 Eww, Rodimus. That's the Turbo Grafx.

@voodoo341 I completely agree that there ought to be more big budget titles that show off the system. Hopefully it's just a slow start for them this gen (it's usually a bit of a slow start). Even with indies I'd like to see them show off the graphical power of the systems more - I think they can without breaking the bank. I mean, I personally like seeing throwbacks to old system styles (like "Castle in the Darkness" and "Odallus" which look like NES), but I get that most people that didn't grow up with those sort of games — or even those that did — want projects to move onward and really show the cutting edge in graphics as much as they can.

yes! good idea

No Man's Sky is an indie. You probably don't want to play that one.

Here's hoping the Vita gets a price drop and some new copies in stock at Amazon. I notice it's mostly sold by third parties there and at higher prices... so I wonder if most are buying it used.

Still hoping for a Super Famicom Galvatron. The colors are perfect! (Well like the Super Nintendo, not SFC, but "Super Famicom Galvatron" sounds better

@charlesnarles: I agree. Wish these terms weren't used. It's one thing to describe budget levels, staff size and whether the company is independent from a large corporation, but the terms are now used to describe multiple genres at once.

@voodoo341: The largest number of small titles and low budget games has always been on the PC, which is also the most powerful platform. What "place" do you want indies to be? I've seen a lot of people use that word, but honestly it makes more sense they belong on PS4 or Xbox since those aren't as powerful as PC.

There's always been smaller titles on every platform I can think of. People seem to have a really poor memory about this. For instance, on PS2 there was "Alien Hominid," a 2D Flash game that started in the browser at Newgrounds. On Xbox and PS3 from the same company there was the popular Castle Crashers. Actually there were a ton of "indie" games on PS3 and Xbox early on, for at least the last 6 years or so. Just check the dates of their release on PSN sometime. They just weren't called "indies" back then to my knowledge.

(I did a check to see if I was right - try this link: https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/all-ps3-games/cid=STORE-MSF77008-PS3ALLPS3GAMES%7C%7Crelease_date~asc

See the first two games? Blast Factor and Cash Gun Zombies? The second one in particular reminds me of #killallzombies and Crimsonland. But their dates are 2006! Some of the earliest PS Network games released).

@Aero:

Actually if you read about the making of Last of Us Remastered it seemed to involve their top staff:

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/06/15/naughty-dog-hard-at-work-to-push-the-last-of-us-remastered-past-60-fps-and-solving-performance-bugs/

looks like a good creative take on the genre. Glad to see this environment being used.

How about an update on Cyberpunk 2077?

@MatGrowcott oh. I like unfair. I don't remember getting snagged, but haven't played the vita version

oh it has a boring soundtrack.

does it have music like in the trailer (dubstep/trancey) or is it something else?

looks like a good one. I think it's mainly up to the developer whether they want it on playstation, not sony asking them for it.

doesn't look very good. too colorful

Really whiny review. Maybe you should just play games on easy settings or watch Let's Plays if you're so bad at them.

It'd be cool if there was like an Android or iOS app on the PS4 and then you could play those games

The music seemed pretty good. Thanks for the review.

So glad I'm not mature! this game looks fun!!

do zombies poop?

Great interview! I don't think I've ever heard a developer sound so intent on staying true to the originals. Very promising. I think it will be a great game.
