I think the reason is that people who are now in their early to late 20's now have jobs and can afford to buy it for themselves. I'm 26 and this is the fist console I've been able to get with my money. No more relying on mom and dad to come through for us at Christmas time. We are the video gaming generation and now that we have money in our pockets, we can get what we want
If Sony makes more remakes it needs to be like the Master Chief Collection that Microsoft did. Multiple games in one package. How about the Resistance trilogy? Did that do good enough for a remake?
I loved this article. It really shows how you can have an emotional attachment to a game. I'll never forget the first time I played Persona 4 Golden. I never wanted it to end. I've played it a couple more times, but nothing compares to the first time.
I couldn't believe how great the graphics were. The cockroaches were amazingly real-looking. And yea, it definitely made me jump. I love when a game scares you silly. Way better than movies in my opinion
@MadchesterManc I couldn't agree more. And there were obviously some genres that Sony missed with the games they showed, so the people who are only in love with those genres feel jaded. Sure I didn't see much that excited me, but I'm not going to call Sony "awful" because of it. I'm sure I'll see more in the future that shows me what I'm looking for... like TGS.
Ummm I'm not too sure what to make of that. Other than the fact that it's probably a good idea to watch this laying on your side just in case you have a seizure during it
I don't think it would be a problem as long as it's not the focal point of a game. You said it best; it needs to be a great game first and educational second. I liked how Persona 4 had you taking finals because it was part of the story line. It really added to immersion because I really wanted a good grade. That's the kind of stuff that works and it's rare to find a game that gets it right
I remember seeing a short video just showing off the graphics. No gameplay. That's what I'm curious about though. Until I see some gameplay I won't say I'm gonna buy it. It does look gorgeous though
@dok5555555 you beat me to it. I think they would have a huge hit on their hands if they released the original Blitz with online play. I'd buy it in a heartbeat
I actually like what I've played. The new modes are refreshing because it's not the same ol' military style battles. Being cops and robbers is always something we played as a kid. I love being a getaway vehicle, pulling up and yelling at somebody with the loot to "Get in!"
I think it's great. A lot of people use video games to escape from the world around them and this would just help add to the immersion a lot of people search for. Of course there is a line you don't want to cross where you don't have an actual life.
@get2sammyb that's insane. I just can't grasp how it translated it to a legitimate musical piece. It sounded awesome, not just some random notes thrown together
I've owned Every Madden since 2000 so I could review it if you NEED someone to do it. But in all seriousness, I'm expecting a big leap from last year's game. I got it for PS3 and PS4 and to be honest there wasn't much of a difference except that the menus ran smoother
@get2sammyb yea they just need to make sure it's somewhere close to complete though. DayZ is horrifically broken. Let's hope this game will be quite different in that aspect
I think the PS4's advantage in power might have affected some sales but the number is probably irrelevant when we're talking about 7 million sold. I'd say it's probably about the same as the number of sales affected by the DRM situation. How many Microsoft people actually jumped ship?
It blows my mind that a 9 year old would do something like that. When I was 9 that would've never crossed my mind. The kid is a hero.. Get him a key to the city
Being someone from the states, I am quite lost when it comes to cricket. I consider myself a big sports guy, but I know nothing about that one. Who's this Don guy? (Not trying to make anyone mad, I promise)
I hate it when someone gets terminated without cause, especially someone of his stature. The games he worked on wouldn't be the same without him. Give the man a reason at least
@ztpayne7 the first game was awesome.. The second game was pretty good and I haven't finished the third one. But I thought the first one was amazing because it was one of the first games to come out for the system
I've never really gotten into fighting games but I'll probably get this just because of how good it looks. And I want to play as Bruce Lee... He looked awesome
Silent Hill definitely caught my eye, but I have to go with Fallout... One of my favorite series with virtual reality? You might as well glue the Morpheus to my head
@get2sammyb I definitely don't want another FPS. There's enough if those out there. Plus I wasn't impressed with Shadow Fall. Great graphics, but just couldnt get into it. Give us something fresh, I'm definitely down for a Fallout-like RPG since we probably won't see fallout for a long time

Re: Battlefield Hardline's Beta Goes Harder for an Additional Week on PS4
@drpepperdude100 dude it's the beta. It'll get better. Beta is so they can figure out where glitches are. I just had a bad one happen to me

Re: E3 2014: Our JRPG Heroes Duke it Out Once Again in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax's Newest Trailer
Why can't we play as Nanako?! Just kidding, but I think it would be cool if Dojima got in on the action with his jacket always over his shoulder

Re: E3 2014: The Golf Club Goes for the Green on PS4 This Summer
As an avid golfer I'm pumped about a next gen golf game. I love the idea of designing my own course so I can't wait to try to make my masterpiece
Re: E3 2014: Wow, Sony's E3 Booth Is Going to Be Jam Packed with Games
Golf Club
Danganronpa 2
Persona 4 arena ultimax
Tales of xillia 2
Freedom wars
Dynasty warriors: gundam
Man I wish I could check these out myself

Re: You'll Be Able to Submit to EA Sports UFC's Slick PS4 Visuals Next Week
I was a fan of the Fight Night games so I'm looking forward to this. There's no reason to not try the demo so I'll definitely be downloading it

Re: Weirdness: PlayStation Eye Employed to Turn Trees into Orchestral Epics
I have no idea what was going on in that video.. How does getting data from wood using the Eye do that? It's unbelievable
Re: Wait, Why Does The Last of Us' Ellie Look All Grown Up?
I think people who have played the game would be disappointed if something other than a sequel is announced. Would Naughty Dog take that risk?

Re: Sony's Free Undead MMO H1Z1 Almost Certainly Lurching onto PS4

Re: This PS4 Game Will Allow You to Expose the Underwear of Strangers
I can't imagine an actual plot for this game. How could get harder and harder? More clothing to remove?

Re: Onigiri Is a Free PS4 MMORPG with an Anime Twist
Is it just me or does that Japanese dude sound a little pervy?
Re: MLB 14 The Show Plays Ball with the PS4's Supercharged Hardware
If you need a lesson or two about baseball this American chap is happy to help. I could use some help with Cricket. Is that big in the UK?
Re: You Can't Resist the Fall of Resistance's Online Servers

Re: This Is What Bruce Lee Looks Like in EA Sports UFC
I've never really gotten into fighting games but I'll probably get this just because of how good it looks. And I want to play as Bruce Lee... He looked awesome
Re: Liberation Maiden: SIN Confessing All on the PS Vita
So will you be lost if you play this without playing the 3DS game?
Re: First-Person RPG Mind Zero is Dungeon Crawling onto Vita in May
If it's being compared to Persona, count me in... I'll definitely be giving it a shot
Re: PS Vita Exclusive Freedom Wars' Box Art May Require Sunglasses to Look At
@bbq_boy he probably already has an Xbox and has it sitting on top of his PS4 as if it was in a victory stance...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 24
I'm pretty close to finishing Danganronpa: THH.. What an amazing story so far. I know something crazy is coming. Can't wait to be blown away.
Re: Feature: 11 Games We Want to Play with PS4's Virtual Reality Headset
Silent Hill definitely caught my eye, but I have to go with Fallout... One of my favorite series with virtual reality? You might as well glue the Morpheus to my head
Re: Does the PlayStation 4's Virtual Reality Headset Actually Work?
All I ask is that Fallout 4 uses this. Scouring the wasteland would be even more amazing
Re: Persona 5 Brings Style to Western PS3s in 2015
AAAAHHH! It's probably my most anticipated game ever. I'm constantly browsing the Internet for updates so this made my day.
Re: Blimey, Killzone's Dev Has Been Working on a New PS4 Franchise for Over Two Years
@get2sammyb I definitely don't want another FPS. There's enough if those out there. Plus I wasn't impressed with Shadow Fall. Great graphics, but just couldnt get into it. Give us something fresh, I'm definitely down for a Fallout-like RPG since we probably won't see fallout for a long time
Re: Push Rewind: PS4 Sales, System Launches, and Strider
Using the touchpad for morse code in The Order: 1886? Hmmm. Couldn't that just be done with any other button?
