I don't agree with any of them. Awful list, Robert.
No but seriously, I haven't actually played Kingdoms of Amalur yet. It really interested me at the time, but It's just faded from view as other things were released :/
The footage from Ghosts is clearly clipped in a couple of places so it syncs up with the MW2 video in order to maximise the obviousness that they've directly lifted the animation. I'm voting for no homage, just corner cutting, plain and simple.
@banacheck interesting... Honestly I never came across any framerate issues what so ever. As I mentioned further up, there's an article outlining the differences between the PS3 and PS4 version incoming which should clear up your concerns.
@Reverend_Skeeve thanks for reading! What we had to be careful with was not to review the console itself, but rather the game. As Sammy's iluded to, there'll be an article going up later that derails the major difference between the PS3 and PS4 versions
I had a walk around my local town to see if there was anything for sale, but there unfortunately wasn't. It was probably for the best to be honest, I'd have ended up buying everything!
Has anyone in the UK found somewhere selling accessories early?
I find it difficult to believe that it's still going to be honest. I remember enjoying the beta a few years ago and I'll probably hop back into it on PS4, but man, is anyone still playing this?
@Scollurio you'll be amazed at the things people require assistance with! As I previously mentioned, this video was created because it's a video that should be made. Someone out there will find a use for it and this is the same logic that every other website making a similar video will have used. Just because it's not helpful for you doesn't mean someone else won't find it useful
@Scollurio This video was never intended as an answer to the rampant server issues, but more as a "we should probably have a video for that" kind of thing. Unfortunately there are a lot of upset people around that want their GTA Online fix and are looking for something to take out their frustration on, this video being one of those things!
How do we make the new, totally unwanted, FF game appeal to FF fans? I know! Let's put in a costume of one of the characters from that game we won't acknowledge exists, despite the fact that most FF fans would rather play that than this!
@rjejr unfortunately I'm yet to play The Puppeteer so I couldn't make the comparison. I was mainly comparing the simplified RPG components with those of Ni Na Noo Nah
@longshot28 1.5 hours in a "high performance car" is word for word what we were told by one of the developers. It may well take hours in a worse, starting vehicle
If this is true, it should raise some questions regarding Rockstar's business tactics. I'm all for secrecy, but at this stage in the current generation, holding back on information like this in order to inspire boosted sales by people buying it twice, is not acceptable.
Either confirm it or say it isn't happening, but either way they have a duty to keep their paying customers informed, so those that are buying next gen platforms can make a decision on whether to wait, or dive in now.
If people are willing to buy it twice, good for them, but I for one am not. Don't hold out on me, Rockstar!

@ShogunRok I don't agree with anything you just said. Awful reply, Robert.
I think I would too.

@Cloud7794 Tim will return... I might even make some videos revolving around his travels. Call it 'The Adventures of Tim Tim' or something like that.

Re: Review: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (PlayStation 3)
Great review, Sammy! Thrilled to see it's looking good, but i'll be pipping for the PS4 edition personally.
Re: This Is How You Share Your Games on the PlayStation 4
That doesn't sound too dissimilar to how it works on PS3, thankfully!
Re: Sony Flinging PAIN onto the PSN for Free
This was the first PSN game I bought. Does it hold some kind of record for most DLC? They supported the crap out of it for about a year.
Hardest. Trophies. Ever.

It's true, I'm sexually attracted to videogames.

Re: Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith (PlayStation Network)
@Sutorcen it d-d-d-d-does I'm afraid, although only majorly after loading screens which thankfully don't come too often.
Re: Review: Orc Attack: Flatulent Rebellion (PlayStation Network)
I don't... What?
EDIT: Great review, Robert
audible flatulence

Re: Feature: Our Five Most Wanted PS4, PS3, and Vita Titles from Eurogamer Expo 2013
@get2sammyb Not gonna lie, Mr Barker, that sounds rather sadomasochistic.

Out of interest, @get2sammyb, what's the significance of rubbing Marmite into an ulcer?
Re: Oh No, Vanille's Going to Be in Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
@get2sammyb I'm... I'm going to have to rethink my life...
Re: Oh No, Vanille's Going to Be in Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
@Stuffgamer1 I would genuinely love to hear your reasoning for that.

Re: Guide: How to Expand Your Grand Theft Auto V Property Portfolio for Free
It's really quite encouraging to see so many people uninterested in cheating. Push Square clearly has the mature audience most sites would kill for!
Re: Talking Point: When Will Be the Right Time to Reintroduce The Last Guardian?
@get2sammyb Any excitement I had for it is all but gone, although I'm sure any new footage would get me back in the mood.
Re: Talking Point: When Will Be the Right Time to Reintroduce The Last Guardian?
Great article, Sammy! From the poll it seems that nobody's really fussed by it anymore :/
Re: Review: Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut (PlayStation Network)

Re: Guide: How to Be a Pimp in Grand Theft Auto V's Atomic Blimp
There's a slight mistake here in that you don't have to play as Franklin to access the blimp. Not that it hurts to let him have a go at flying one!
Re: Review: Farming Simulator (PlayStation 3)
@ShogunRok @get2sammyb Only two weeks until we get Farming Simulator Online! You should write a follow-up piece for your review then.

Re: First Impressions: Going Underground With Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs
@Paranoimia I believe it is. Plus, the Drive Club app is coming to smartphones as well as tablets, so it's safe to assume this will follow suit.
Re: Review: Dragon Fantasy: Book II (PlayStation Network)
This game looks fantastic! Shame it, err, isn't.
Re: Weirdness: Saints Row IV Conveniently Cashes GATV Add-On Next Week
Hah! That is quite brilliant. More of this, games industry!
Never understood the pedestal they put Johnny Gat on - I find him to be the most generic, undeveloped character of the series :/
Re: First Impressions: Going Underground With Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs
@PMasterTy9 True, but if it mirrored real life Aiden would spend the entirety of the game behind a keyboard in his bedroom
Re: First Impressions: Join The Crew - Hitting The Road With Ubisoft's PS4 Open World Racer
@charlesnarles I'm afraid not. It takes an hour and a half to traverse the entire map (in a fast car).
Re: See What Makes Assassin's Creed IV On PS4 Next Gen
I'll be going straight for the PS4 version it seems!
Re: Review: Puppeteer (PlayStation 3)
@ShogunRok Sweet review, dude. I'm sorely tempted but I'm not sure I can splash the dollar, any idea on what sort of price I might expect?

Re: First Impressions: Revisiting Adolescent Angst in Quantic Dream’s Beyond: Two Souls
Excellent preview, Sammy. Adored Heavy Rain (flaws and all) and this is looking to be just as, if not more, brilliant.
Re: Video: Watch As We Dig into the Underworld in Diablo III on PS3
Aye, I'm the person responsible for video from now on!
Any videos you want to see (I.e. puppeteer) tweet me @Confused_Dude
Re: Take Control of Beyond: Two Souls' Demo Next Month
@Splat HANDS DOWN the hardest trophy in the game. There is a certain way to do it, but those damn six axis controls are anything but accurate :/
Re: Review: Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate (PlayStation 3)
@get2sammyb It's an actual option?! Like, in the settings?
The breast-jiggling is like fox hunting i.e. hugely contentious but they'll do anything and everything to keep the tradition alive.
Re: Review: Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate (PlayStation 3)
Nice review, Sammy!
Here's the important question though... Is this the one with the, ermm, jiggle physics?
Re: Take Control of Beyond: Two Souls' Demo Next Month
Since platinum-ing Heavy Rain I've been aching for something to fill the void in my life. Can't wait!
