First the Atlas waypoint glitch, then the preorder ship glitch, then this... I wonder how HG didn't catch any of this stuff. The preorder ship glitch has already cost me multiple hours.
Ana and Sombra are apparently also the same person, considering Sombra is supposed to be a sniper. I wonder what the deal is in changing her name like that.
No Rayman?? That was the one thing I was hoping for :/ Watch dogs 2 doesn't look as bad as expected, if they used better songs like Death Grips' Hacker or something it probably would have been better
@ztpayne7 that's probably a credit to the game's amazing UI that you can't tell what's part of the game and what's made for the trailer. If you've played other persona games it's fairly self explanatory, but it looks amazingly stylish. I'd definitely reccomend playing Persona 4 Golden if you can
Persona really, REALLY needs stage presence if Sony wants to make a real impact. I mean, it's one of the best looking games coming to the console, and it's majorly hyped by a lot of people.
I feel like Overwatch is more suited to PC playing than PS4 playing because of the precise aiming the player needs to do. A mouse is just better suited for it than a controller.
The delay is only about a month and a bit anyway, no big deal to be honest. I feel sorry for everyone who took time off work to play the game, though :/
Have they even made one good PR move at any point during this game's development? The worst part is that the gameplay doesn't even look bad. It's just how awful the devs are at promoting the game.
Sony, please change the name of this game. Literally anything else is a more appealing name than "Horizon: Zero Dawn". That name sounds almost like a parody of a triple A game more than an actual game.
@NinjaWaddleDee I personally think the game becomes far better and more deep when you can actually communicate with your teammates. If you can't do that, like the majority of players right now are unable to, the game doesn't play nearly as well. This is why the game costing so much becomes an issue: if you want to play seriously and get to the real meat of the game, you might have to get five friends to also buy it.
I really hope for Sony's sake that they get that VR support into No Man's Sky. It would be a real waste if they couldn't VR support into that game, it seems like including VR NMS support would make a lot of people who are on the fence buy it on Day 1.
@FullbringIchigo How far can these threads get? If this gets any worse in the next mandatory clickbait DOAX3 comment section, the mods will have no choice but to shut the whole thing down
I'm excited for the PSVR because unlike most peripherals where games using the peripheral are noticably more casual, the PSVR's supporting games could end up being more player-focused than the average PS4 game. I'm not saying Bloodborne hardcore, just better than the games that supported Move and EyeToy.
This game's excellent but I had trouble getting anyone to play with me when I bought it on PC due to the game's difficulty. It'd be nice to have an easy mode in which you can mess around with your co-op partner.
I gotta disagree with the review. The storytelling through environment thing that was really hyped up wasn't used at all apart from some context regarding the parents, with everything else being told through audio parts. It's also only a few hours long and not really worth it. [SPOILERS] I thought the story was pretty cliche 'forbidden love' stuff too, which is great if you're into that stuff but I saw every plot point coming from a mile off. didn't expect this high of a review score.
Also push square can we please get a spoiler tag or something for these comments? I've been spoilt once too many in these comment sections.
I think the real reason Knack is bashed so much is because it looks too much like a PS3 game.This was the first PS4 game most people saw. Sure there's particles everywhere but people expected something on par with the PS2 - PS3 jump in graphics. Infamous Second Son or Bloodborne would have shown it far better.
Dammnit Sony, Nintendo Networm does a better job of staying online and it's free! Sony really needs to improve online services, I'm considering dropping PSN entirely if this business continues
I would have thought this year would have been a good time to make an AC game based on the Easter Rising considering this year is its centenary. Maybe I just want to parkour around 1916 Dublin, though.
Wow. Credit to EA on this one; this certainly is a risky release. EA is starting to redeem themselves again, this and Mirror's Edge are looking fantastic.
I'd honestly prefer it if it were based on a mecha anime like Gundam or TTGL, but I'm not really a fan of setpiece-filled super-scripted single player campaigns anyway
I'm still amazed at how both a spiritual successor to Shadow of The Colossus AND a spiritual successor to Ico will likely release in the same year, especially after Team Ico completely passed over the PS3.
The only thing I got from this trailer story-wise is either Faith's a jerk, or everyone else is a jerk. I'm cautiously optimistic about this game, but I'm concerned that good level design will be eschewed in favour of another open world. If the level design is still good this may be a day one buy.
@Cowboysfan-22 This game isn't as interesting or well-written as EGTTR. It's only about 2 hours long and the whole 'story told through setting' thing isn't done all that well. If you really want it, wait for a sale, it's not really worth the usual £15 price of admission.

Wii U fanboys have probably just resigned from feeling anything about the Wii U at this point, really. They'll just shrug at this.
Good game though, really worth the buy

@get2sammyb at least Ubisofts should be good for a laugh.
Re: Watch Dogs 2's Protagonist Has a Serious Hackitude Problem
they really should have gone for a Jet Set Radio vibe instead of 2012 memes and twitter references.

Re: Sony's Been Prepping for E3 2016 Since the Start of the Year
Nah, Nintendo's E3 2014 trumps Sony's 2015 showing by miles. However, it was the best in 2015 (but then again there wasn't much competition)
