Re: Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection PS4 Marketing Materials Leak

Altaria_97

It's very nice to see this is confirmed now. I know the series is very controversial, but I heard these three entries were great and I never played them... plus I actually really liked Black Flag and Syndicate. III and Unity were only decent to me, though. I'll definitely be picking this up as long as it is no more than $40.

Re: Gran Turismo Sport Delayed to 2017 on PS4

Altaria_97

It's definitely sad to see this get delayed, but if it makes the game better, then so be it. I honestly have been meaning to go back and play Forza 6 more, plus Horizon 3 is coming out soon, so I'm actually not too bothered by this. Definitely looking forward to hearing more about the game.

Re: Review: Assetto Corsa (PS4)

Altaria_97

I'm very surprised to see this get such a low score. I love racers, from Mario Kart, to Forza, to Need for Speed and Gran Turismo. I wasn't planning on getting this right away, but I'll have to read more into it for the future.

Re: Opinion: Why the Heck Is Sony Making a PS4 Slim?

Altaria_97

I think this is a really good idea. Anyone who just wants to hop on board for a cheap price can buy the system for a cheap price, and anyone who is a hardcore gamer and has the money can get the Neo. That way it won't be too much of a risk if the Nep doesn't sell well... Not that I think that was an issue at all.

I know I'll finally be buying a PS4 this holiday season due to the slim. I'm assuming it'll be $300, but it'll probably get even cheaper around Black Friday. If I could pick up a PS4 for $250 this holiday season... That would be incredible.

Re: Marvel Ultimate Alliance PS4 Isn't a Particularly Heroic Port

Altaria_97

The port isn't awful... it's just the fact that it's a port and not a full fledged remake. From what I have seen, there are no texture updates or anything. The game was just simply upscaled to 1080p and thrown onto the new systems. I don't even think they attempted to improve the frame-rate at all; the frame-rate is uncapped and scatters from 30-40, which doesn't seem intentional. I might pick it up when it gets to $20 or cheaper... but $40? No thanks!

Re: Telltale's Batman Peeks Behind the Cowl from 2nd August on PS4, PS3

Altaria_97

@belmont I know, it sucks. This is the one Telltale game that interests me and it's the only one (to my knowledge) to not grace the VITA.

I got the first season of The Walking Dead with my system and while it was fun, I just never cared to finish it. I loved the concept of Telltale games, I was just done with the zombie apocalypse atmosphere.

I might pick it up on a home console, but the VITA version would have been a must buy for me.

Re: Poll: Will You Pay Full Price for Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4?

Altaria_97

I've said it once and I'll say it again: the fate of this game is truly sad. It's one of the most criminally under looked games of this generation due to that exclusivity deal with Microsoft. In fact, it's my personal favorite game of last year.

However, just because it's that good, that doesn't mean I think PS4 players should pick it up at full price. I don't support this exclusivity garbage aside from the obvious first and second party games, so I say if it's more than 40 bucks, wait for a price drop. But just be sure to pick it up at some point, as it's one of my favorite games in quite some time.

Re: Guide: Amazon Prime Day 2016 - Best PS4 Deals

Altaria_97

I'm hoping the deals in the US include are VITA related... especially for it's memory cards! I've had my VITA for three full years and still have not bought a memory card to replaced the 4GB one that came bundled with my system. I really want to play the Ratchet and Clank Collection and Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remastered, but I know they both require a hefty amount of storage, even for the physical copy of the latter.

Re: Lara Croft's Tomb Raider Will Rise on PS4 This Holiday

Altaria_97

This is my personal favorite game of last generation and it's such a shame to see its fate. The time-exclusivity really destroyed the reputation (and sales) of what possibly is the definitive action-adventure game of this generation. I recommend everyone with a good enough PC to check this out now, and if you have a PS4, definitely pick it up this holiday season... as long as it is priced fairly.

Re: E3 2016: Dead Rising 4 Will Dismantle the Undead on PS4 Next Year

Altaria_97

The 1-year exclusively deals are a real shame for the game developers. They spend so much time making such a good game and it gets panned to the side during the holiday season. Rise of the Tomb Raider was, in my opinion, the best game of last year. It's a shame it didn't get the recognition (in terms of sales, at least) it deserved due to it not being on the most mainstream console.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS4 Game at E3 2016?

Altaria_97

My favorite game was Horizon Zero Dawn with Gravity Rush 2 right behind it. Spider-Man would be my number 3. Honestly, there were just so many good games shown off that I wish we could have voted for 2 or 3 games. I'd expect the results to be a lot more interesting if that were the case.

Re: E3 2016: Gravity Rush 2's New PS4 Trailer Will Make You Purr

Altaria_97

I haven no idea why this (less than) 2 minute trailer wasn't apart of Sony's press conference, but damn, this game is shaping well! The visuals look beautiful and the flow of combat seems to be much faster and more enjoyable. Aside from Horizon Zero Dawn, this is my most anticipated game for the PS4.

Re: E3 2016: Titanfall 2 Drops a Bot on PS4 from 28th October

Altaria_97

I think it's silly EA is releasing Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 within a week of each other. They both look like great games with their own personalities, but the fact is they are both online-heavy first person shooters. They are essentially competing with themselves. I'm probably wrong, though. Both games will probably sell insanely well because guns and stuff.

Re: Feature: Is Crash Bandicoot Coming to PS4? 10 Reasons to Believe He Is

Altaria_97

I'm going to make a bold move and say Crash Bandicoot will make an appearance at Sony's E3. There have been far too many hints pointing at it over the past few years and the fans obviously want it.

Now, a lot of people are saying that because Activision still owns the rights to the franchise, it makes it very unlikely. However, I'd say it's the opposite. Activision has been very close with Sony ever since the release of the PS4. Call of Duty is pretty much at home with Sony's console now instead of the XBOX One.

Going off of that, I'd say Activision could be rebooting the franchise for the exclusively for the PS4. Or, perhaps, Naughty Dog will reveal that their next game will be another true Crash Bandicoot like the originals and they will buy the rights around then or shortly after. Or they it could be a dual effort between the two developers... so many possibilities.

All this speculation on my part and we're not even sure this game exists!

Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn Delayed to February 2017 on PS4

Altaria_97

A lot of people speculated about the inevitability of this delay, so I'm not too surprised to see it. The new trailer looks really cool, though, even if it was a bit lacking in the gameplay department... I'm sure we'll get more than enough gameplay at E3, though.

Glad to see development for this title going so well. I mean, even the box art looks awesome!

Re: FIFA 17 Kicks-Off in September on PS4

Altaria_97

I don't usually follow FIFA announcement trailers every year, so the huge build up to "change" is very peculiar. I'll be interested to see what is truly new about this new entry. EA is apparently using the newer Frostbite engine for the game, so maybe it will be vastly improved.

Re: Review: Mirror's Edge Catalyst (PS4)

Altaria_97

I'm really happy to see this game turn out so well. Even though I'm not fond of EA as a corporation, I have to say they have some fantastic game developers. I'll definitely be purchasing this when it gets cheaper as I always enjoy a great action/adventure game.
