Dreamcaster-X

People should temper expectations, this is NOT going to make 30fps instantly run at 60fps. I would expect Xbox One S type improvements where games will run at a steady 30fps above with no dips, tearing etc.

@get2sammyb Has that been proven? Xbox One S does it & none of their games have suffered from any buggy performance from the boost to frame rates.

The article is spot on. They developed the hell out of some great exclusives that powered the PS3 back up to a #1 worldwide spot in overall sales even though they're virtually tied in North America with 360, it's still a huge achievement considering their disastrous launch. They weren't afraid to take chances with new IP's which is something we've seen less of on PS4.

@Leeham The trailer says all story DLC included except MP & MP DLC, story content only.

@Ralizah It's the Beta. It doesn't release til October.

In North America, there'a always holiday deals on these things. Sometimes almost half off but usually 40%. BE smart about it & buy them then. You can stack two years worth of subscriptions on.

You can get these deals around the holidays for half price. You NEVER have to pay full price if you don't want to.

They've said several times it is possible to run into other players but due to the size of the game it's not likely to happen frequently.

Why does it need to be answered on launch day? Why does everything have to be instantly known?

Honestly the lack of hand holding is refreshing. Minecraft did the same thing. Nobody knew anything in the beginning but you talked to friends or went online to find out what others were doing. It gets people talking about the game the way gamers used to do during the NES days where you figured it out as you went. I hate being force fed every single mission or direction in agame. It's tiresome & just frankly lazy of people to not want to try & figure stuff out on their own.

Felt a bit Bio-Shocky to me with some of the environments. Looks great!

I can't wait to lose myself in the solitude of that universe.

I'm very happy with what I saw. Lots of good stuff coming from everywhere & all platforms.

That's code for we don't want to kill Elder Scrolls Online.

They need to fire whoever is in charge of their press conferences. Just absolutely miserable experiences.

So another $40 for a meager "Expansion"....no thanks, I'm not falling for it again. Their expansion content are more like small DLC packs.

I played the demo & was really impressed. I will be picking this one up for sure.

That's just really lazy & inexcusable.

And to think we got 3 great stand alone Final Fantasy games on the PS1. Those were the days!!

Even after the patched demos I find the battle system to be a big hot mess. It's inexcusable for a game this long in development with the financial resources it has behind it to play so poorly.

After playing the MP Beta my expectations have greatly diminished for this game. If it has a great single player I'm in but with many sites not even getting review copies until the day before or the day of I will be taking a big wait & see.

I don't play episodic games until they're complete & usually have a retail form.

I really enjoyed the Battleborn Beta. Everyone seems to be talking Overwatch but this game has a place too.

Dishonored 2 & Deus Ex:Mankind Divided will be providing that stealthy gaming fix for me this year!

PLEASE NO!!!!!! Enough with the hipster douche eyewear!!

Wait a minute,,,,there isn't a VS CPU mode in the game yet? Are you kidding me????

Probably for the best. W3 is leagues ahead of the first two games in just about every category. The first two were horribly paced.

Agreed. Despite all the negative naysayers, the numbers don't lie. They're completely dominating this gen by a wide margin. As long as they get the messaging right, they will keep on trucking right along smashing everything in their path.

Tech leaks happen all the time, it doesn't mean a company should be forced to reveal it's hand before it's ready. Look at all the NX "leaks". It's all speculative until it's official. Apple for instance, the press had the iPhone 4 in hands months before it was unveiled & they just kept trucking right along.
People who follow the industry regularly are the ones who may put the brakes on a PS4 purchase soon but I have so many gamer friends who don't follow the press & are completely oblivious to most of the "news" that happens on a daily basis.

People who wanna wait & see, then wait & see. If the PS4 does what you need it to do now, then buy one now.

Can't wait to give this a try.

I played the first one & loved it. I will definitely buy this day one if it comes west too. Hopefully the first title sold well enough.

I feel like we're being conned somehow because they have repeatedly stressed that "fans won't like the ending" or "it will be decisive" and they always go back to well it is called a thief's end as to imply Drake's death or maybe that's they want us to believe.

The tone just doesn't fit with the rest of the trilogy though that's the issue. If this had been some dark story from the get-go that's fine but it hasn't been that & to come into the final game & to try being all decisive & infuriating your fans is just insulting & a betrayal of the spirit of the series.

Dark Souls meets Onimusha. I'M IN!!!

@teknium_ It doesn't process any graphics information for the game, it's strictly for the headsets tracking & refresh rate.

@adf86 I'm pretty sure Phil's Spencer alluded to a mid cycle replacement for the Xbox One weeks ago. He didn't flat out say so but one of his recent speeches you can definitely get the sense that they're working on this as well.

This is like a "New" 3DS. I think it's great that there's an option for consoles to now get a boost of power & performance mid life cycle. For those that want that extra ooomph in their games this is an option, if you're happy with what you got then you'll be Ok as well as nobody is forcing you to upgrade.

@DG42Velka That would be a retailer specific initiative. Get ready to see millions of PS4's flood into Gamestop's inventory or whatever retailer decides to "trade" them.

@WanderingBullet I think people are expecting it to be a bit more "action" game like. I played it quite a bit this weekend. It could move a tad faster but it's not a deal breaker by any means.

@Gamer83 I think people are thinking their system wouldn't work & that's not the case. Sony isn't that dumb. The games would "scale up" performance the way they do for the hundreds of different variations of PC CPU/GPU setups in the market.

Phones & PC's already do this. Why not consoles?

@Midzark You can sell it on your own, NOBODY forces people to upgrade technology. If you don't want to upgrade you don't HAVE to.

People aren't understanding the article. PC games scale all the time to different graphics cards/CPU's so this is no different. For example, a game may run 1080p/30FPS on the current PS4 & theoretically could run in 1080p/60FPS with more bells & whistles on a beefier PS4. Your system would not be obsolete & you don't HAVE to upgrade, nobody is forcing you to do so.

@BAMozzy There is no way for MS to catch them in sales, that train has left the station, worldwide they're outselling them to 2:1 already. There's nothing MS can do at this point but just keep chugging along in second place & try again next time.

Naughty Dog had major issues with their first PS3 game just months from release and it all came together in those final months, most games do!! These articles are a real disservice to some of the harder working dev teams out there based solely on rumors. You're better than this PushSquare!!

Sony should change their marketing tagline for the game in North America....Gravity Rush "This Is Sort of for The Players"

I've had my eye on this one for some time but man did they pick a bad time to release it, as others have said there's just so many games out now & more are coming...(looks at Fallout 4 & Xenoblade Chronicles) I'll put it on my Xmas list and hope Santa brings it. = )

"He would go to the ends of the earth with you Nate, just...don't ask him to."
One of my favorite lines in the series, it says so much about their relationship. This trailer really pulled some heart strings.

A little Splatoon & Just Cause 2 for me this weekend.

@BLPs It most certainly will not be for Xbox. That system is dead in Japan & considering how Japanese centric the series is there is no reason for it to be on a dead console. Considering how dominating the PS4 is worldwide & Shuhei Yoshida's comments on how they're trying to reinvigorate the console market in Japan there is little left for speculation.

I thought the story was decent enough, obviously they're going to milk it out for the coming years so I was sort of expecting this. The gunplay is so damn solid, I mean seriously it's one of the best shooters you will ever play mechanically speaking. Every gun, powerup, blade throw etc just seem natural and fluid.

However, the fact that you can't group up automatically with strangers for the daily & weekly challenges is a real bummer. They're needs to be some sort of chat system in the tower so you can wrestle up parties who want to perform similar objectives. I can't believe they didn't think this wouldn't be an issue. Matchmaking is very smooth but if your friends aren't online the same time as you then it's going to be real tough to get those weekly strikes completed. They need to put matchmaking into that with a patch ASAP.
