Re: Reaction: Sony's Gamescom 2014 Press Conference Proves It's Finally Learned How to Pace Properly

Demi_God

^ pretty much it. Sony's conference was really good, in fact it showed games, games, games and a variety of games at that. Sony won it, all Microsoft had was the Tomb Raider thing and I know for a fact that isn't going to sell millions. I see much more going on with Sony and nothing I care about for Microsoft. Now it could be because I've always liked the Playstation system, but it is what it is, Sony did a very good gamescom showing. I would definitely say it was better than Microsoft.

Re: Gamescom 2014: Blimey, Hideo Kojima is Making a New Silent Hill Game for PS4

Demi_God

FINALLY! I can't say this enough, FINALLY!!!!, Kojima is doing something different. It's about damn time, this is very big news.

@Gamer83, the best thing for Sony is to concentrate on games like they've been doing and ignore the dirty tactics that MS tries to pull. If a creature from the black lagoon gives you a signal to follow him into a black abyss, would you really do it? no you wouldn't and Sony is smart enough to not follow Microsofts tactics here because, well, it's quite dumb. Either SE/CD got screwed or MS just threw a bunch of money on a game that may not be all that great. Meanwhile, Sony is building their empire of games that are theirs.

Re: Reaction: PS4's Variety Shines at Gamescom 2014, but Sony's Presser Lacked a Show Stopper

Demi_God

It's because people are so impatient. Also, there are some that are making it out much more then it should be and they are trying to get others on the bandwagon as well. Misery loves company.

Indies, AAA, etc etc were what Sony showed and they had a good showing, it was a solid gamescom for them. What people are really going to want still is a PS4 because of the variety. I am actually seeing platformers now, also RIME looks to be an abstract platformer which is more than welcome, we need platformers for us that like them. Indies are strongly supported and Sony is showing support for the bigger games as well.

Also, their announcement on Share/play is really awesome and that most certainly was a big announcement. To be honest, Sony is in a very awesome spot right now, they have a strong variety of well, everything and 2015 is going to be even better.

I think the main problem here is they have to find people that will be liked by gamers. Tretton was one of those people, but these people that were at gamescom from Sony, well, Sony needs to replace a few of those with more liked faces and I really think that is the problem here. No one wants to see an old fart on stage talking about games.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Sony PlayStation Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?

@get2sammyb But lets not forget Sony's "share play" feature thing or whatever it is where I can have a friend play co-op even if he doesn't have the game, but a PS+ subscription. That was a HUGE announcement and it's because they also were aiming for this during their PS4 reveal of last year. I mean, that right there sets a huge bar for consoles.

I mean, even DayZ coming to the PS4 is just as huge as that was very much rumored to be Xbox One exclusive and it's not.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Sony PlayStation Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?

Demi_God

so far only the few sum of people on here have a problem with Sony's gamescom and yet I go everywhere else and it's all positive. Granted, entertainment purposes of course, but it's quite funny that everyone is basically saying how great MS gamescom is when it was about the same, the only difference was a Tomb Raider announcement and that isn't even a big deal as I'm sure it's going to sell like crap. in fact, I know it will.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Sony PlayStation Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?

Demi_God

@DualWielding that's comments and as we all know, including you that comments don't equal sales. The reason people think it's huge is because the series has always been on past PS platforms but also TR being on 360 and PS3 which didn't sell well at all on the 360. Sorry, it's not a megaton no matter how you look at it. Also, coming out holiday of 2015, yea, umm no. Tomb Raider lost it after the 2nd game in the series.

@gamer83 your biased (not trying to start an arguement because I'm biased on the PS4 end) and it's okay. You say racing games and yet you forget to that driveclub is also releasing. But of course Driveclub doesn't interest you at all but forza does? something is wrong there. I can already see the flip for sake of sticking up for Microsoft.

Re: Reaction: Why Lara Croft Will Still Raid PS4 in Rise of the Tomb Raider

Demi_God

While I like commenting on things like this, I doubt any of this is really going to impact anything. the sales for past tomb raider games haven't been that good on the PS3 or Xbox 360 and all of sudden the game hits Xbox One exclusive and now people are making a big deal, like it's a game that sells over 15 million copies and far from it. Look at how long it took the game to sell 6m and that's only because it came out on the PS4 and Xbox One with a definitive Edition and it still sold more on the PS4.

I have to be honest, this really isn't as big of a deal as some are making it out to be. Also, this game is coming out in the holiday of 2015, by that time this series is going to be buried by all the other games, just like it has been in the past. Don't get me wrong, there are Tomb Raider fans, but all of sudden the Tomb Raider fans spike in numbers magically? I don't believe it. I think people are making a big deal because of the IDEA of this game being on the Xbox One only, it's the IDEA of it all, in reality, I doubt that more than half would even have bought the game.

While the series is known, the game itself has been questionable to say the least. I'm actually more into the uncharted series as the Tomb Raider series is extremely stale.

Re: Reaction: Why Lara Croft Will Still Raid PS4 in Rise of the Tomb Raider

Demi_God

I still don't understand this move though. Even after I said what it is I said, thinking about this more, it doesn't make any sense. All that is going through my head at this point is that Square/Enix are the ones that screwed themselves or Microsoft forked over an amount that covers the sales that would potentially be on the PS4. I thinking SE are getting screwed though and this could hurt them.

What if the game isn't reviewed as good as it could be, well that just screwed the potential money they could have gotten on launch on the PS4. which means that if it is timed exclusives, those future sales once it comes out on the PS4 will be dodged completely and they'll lose even more money.

From a business standpoint, none of this makes any sense. MS is doing the same stuff as they did with the 360 and that didn't even work as the PS3 picked up a lot of speed later on in it's life and that speed has increased greatly with the PS4.

Sorry, but all that is going through my mind is that someone from SE is going to lose their job. I just have this feeling that someone is out of a job. LOL

Re: Reaction: Why Lara Croft Will Still Raid PS4 in Rise of the Tomb Raider

Demi_God

@voodoo341 Why is it a blow to Sony? This is actually more of a blow to Square/Enix and also Microsoft. If MS keeps on throwing money yet again, it doesn't matter if they can afford, they will be right back at the round table with a meeting that you are not going to like. someone got screwed on this deal and it wasn't Sony. It was either MS or SE.

Re: Gamescom 2014: Wait, Rise of the Tomb Raider Isn't Coming to PS4?

Demi_God

@toogoodofaplaya I know it was, I was just being........o.O......there is all.

I think it's funny though how some people are making this game out to be big all of a sudden. Also, yes, SE did complain about the lack of Tomb Raider sales last gen, the definitive version sold much more but that could also be due to the lack of 3rd party AAA that people want so bad. Once more games come out, I know for a fact this series will get buried yet again like it has been all last gen.

Re: Gamescom 2014: Wait, Rise of the Tomb Raider Isn't Coming to PS4?

Demi_God

Hey now, there is nothing wrong with "pork scratchings" for people that like pork scratchings. hehe

@PoNY_LTD they don't really need to, although it would be awesome if Sony did but it's not really necessary because Tomb Raider isn't really that big of a seller, at least not last gen, it sold so bad and even SE / CD complained about the poor sales.

Re: Gamescom 2014: Wait, Rise of the Tomb Raider Isn't Coming to PS4?

Demi_God

Thinking about it more, this is really a double edged sword of dumb "movery" and here's why. In order for this game to be exclusive, MS would have had to pay a good chunk of money on a game to be exclusive that wouldn't push console units like they really need at this point in time. On the other side, this is the dumbest move Square/Enix have done as of yet because the first launch didn't do good at all, it did very poor. So why not launch exclusively on a console that it really won't sell much either o.O

Sony didn't get screwed and I don't see how this is a punch in the nuts from Microsoft considering how piss poor the sales were for Tomb Raider in the first place.

My point is, is that one of the two companies here got screwed, it was either Microsoft (which will now have to make up that money back despite their poor console sales) or square/Enix which are already in enough trouble from last gen pulling stupid move after stupid move and yet they keep on doing the stupid dance.

Re: Gamescom 2014: Here's Your First Look at Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Multiplayer

Demi_God

I didn't play ghost because of what I read about it, but I do like most of the call of duty games. I mainly buy CoD for multiplayer, I really don't care much for the campaign for FPS games, it's mainly MP for me. So with that being said, I am very excited to get my hands on this game when it releases for the PS4, it's going to be awesome.

Some people don't want to admit that they like CoD, but I really don't care. I like a lot of FPS games out there and CoD is one of them.

Re: Gamescom 2014: Sony to Reveal How Horror Is Being Reinvented on PS4

Demi_God

In order to have a good horror video game, you have to mix it with suspense as well as pop scares. It's really the suspense that gets to you in a horror game. The developers for Outlast knew how to create suspense and at the same time make you jump. People want that atmosphere of horror filled with a huge amount of suspense and jumping out of their seats. To put it in easier terms, people want that anxiety at the same time they are pissing themselves.

Re: You Won't Be Able to Transfer Your Destiny Beta Characters into the Full Game

Demi_God

doesn't matter what they say, if anyone has participating in betas in the past, you usually never end up transfering that character over. For people that are new to betas, It's understandable, but at the same time it's meaningless.

As for me, it's a bummer that some people got turned away from this game, me on the other hand, I'm keeping my pre-order and am going to enjoy the hell out of this game. sucks for some of you guys though. lol
