@NEStalgia I must say, my thoughts align really closely with yours, and it's a much more compelling argument than "XX years/generations old = retro". I truly don't think it can be boiled down to something so arbitrary.
Hooray for travel articles! This was super interesting to read, thanks Sammy. Any idea what that huge Game Boy next to the Trinitron screen was? Was it a demonstration kiosk/attract screen type thing?
1. ICO & Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection - I never played these on PS2, so this is why they make the list; I experienced them for the first time on PS3 and they are incredible, incredible games that both jumped into my all-time Top 10.
2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 3. WipEout HD 4. Gran Turismo 5 5. LittleBigPlanet
Yeah, I'll be honest, I haven't made the most of my PS3. I played all the multiplats on 360 this gen, I haven't completed The Last of Us, and I thought Journey was pants. So yeah, that's my list...
Good stuff. Honestly though, I think the backlash stemmed from a misunderstanding; I think most people thought that the PS4 would NEVER support these features. I know that's what I thought.
Not having them on Day One isn't something I'm gonna lose sleep over. I doubt the 'pre-order cancelled!' brigade were being serious.

Re: E3 2014: No Man's Sky Takes Flight in This Breathtaking PS4 Trailer
Amazing. Game of the Show, no question.
Re: Hurry, All of Gran Turismo 5's DLC Will Be Removed on 30th April
Of Corsa, this will disappoint a Lotus players. Then again, not everyone can a Ford to buy DLC; some of it is Astra-nomically expensive.
Re: Review: Tearaway (PlayStation Vita)
Yessss! So glad this seems to have lived up to my expectations.
Re: Microsoft Pats Sony on the Back for Successful PS4 Launch
Makes me laugh when fanboys expect fully-grown, mature, successful businessmen to also behave like they do when it comes to games.
Re: Weirdness: What Happens If You Shoot a PS4 with a Sniper Rifle?
OK, I'm sorry, but that was cool. Much better than the turnip who just smashed his up with a bat.
@HandandInternet How do you know he didn't do that?

Re: Sony Will Pump Up PS4's Volume with MP3 and CD Support Soon
@ShogunRok - I feel ya. Just spent £9.99 on the new CHVRCHES album. It came in a cardboard sleeve. Not even a jewel case. A cardboard sleeve.

Love those noises!
