Rest of the weekend it will be FIFA 15 on PS4. Then Monday onwards I'll be dusting the VITA off while on Xmas holiday at Center Parcs during the Christmas period (Minecraft, Killzone, Need for Speed etc)
Like others I tend not to buy digital full price, as those prices are horrendous. Again like others not going anywhere near AC Unity until fully patched and in the bargin bin which @ShogunRok predicts will be the January sales
For me it was successful keynote, plenty of games on the way although they won't be to everyone's taste. The Vita got some love as well which I enjoyed. I was going to buy Shovel Knight on the Wii U, but will now wait for either the PS4 or Vita versions. That Street Fighter reveal though will keep the internet in meltdown, like Bayonetta 2 did for the Wii U.
Ah, can't pick one game there was many I liked, Colony Wars, Rage Racer, Doom, Star Gladiator, Tekken, Gran Turismo. I traded in my Megadrive & games to help fund buying the PSone at launch.
I think this has sold well, because of how good Black Flag was and people pre-ordered before release. I think the next release will not sell as well due to the well documented issues with Unity. Certainly will not buy this myself until fully patched and in working order.
My memories of the launch started 7 days early due to getting Assassains Creed IV for my birthday on the 26th Nov but no PS4 due to the European launch being a week later!!. Cue seven days of patiently waiting and looking at a shiny game case! Launch day itself I had agreed to help out at work!, but my kind neighbours son took delivery of my PS4, you should of seen his face when I told him what was in the box!!
@Kupo, That's the game my PS4 was playing!!, switched it of completly last night and when I turned it on this afternoon it blue screened!!!, cue panic from me on hold with customer services for 15 minutes.
Tried to put it in safe mode wouldn't do that, so I risked everything and pulled the plug! Don't know what it was but PS4 restarted ok when switched plug back on.
Back on topic more FIFA on PS4 & Bayonetta on WII U
I can only comment on Ninetndo's E3 presentation as it was the only one I watched. The reason for this was Sony's presentation was a traditional conference that was held at 2am BST and I have no interest in MS anymore. Nintendo's second E3 direct was more polished than last years and because it was a 45min video I could watch this on you tube when I got home from work (5pm finish) and to be honest I have no love for the traditional E3 presentation.
The treehouse format worked very well, but by day three I think they were struggling a bit as they had covered all the upcoming game content.
I can eventually see Sony & MS adopting this approach as from reading various websites it seems Nintendo approach to E3 went down very well.
Games that have interested me for the rest of this year and looking to buy are:
Nintendo
Bayonetta 1 & 2
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Hyrule Warriors or Smash Bros
Sony
The Last Of Us
Infamous Second Son
Plant Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare
Next year though promises to be a good but expensive year as there will be Zelda, Yoshi, Xenoblade Chronicles X (I don't expect it to be released this year), The Order 1866, Witcher 3, Starwars Battlefront and Dragon Age.
Getting this, the one Xbox game I really wanted. Looks insane and a blast to play. Would of liked this come to the Wii U but we all know how that unprecedented relationship turned out.
Could EA get away with releasing a Ultimate, Directors or Game of the year edition?? I would imagine MS having this securely nailed down. Mass Effect is a great example but no I cannot see this happening other than a sequel coming to Sony's consoles
Remote play is the Vita's trojan horse, gives you access to playstation 4 but more importantly there is absolutely a load of games available for the machine and don't forget PSP & PSone games are also available on the handheld
I've just checked my PSN account, I can't believe I have brought / downloaded or added 15 Vita games to my account since I brought my Vita at Christmas, thanks to bargain seasonal sales and PS+. Add to my old PSP digital collection and that's 30 games in total. Looking like its time to buy that 64GB memory card. Unlike my PS4 & Wii U collection all my Vita games are digital where on these two consoles they are mainly disc based software.
Saw this article posted on various sites around the internet, but with a slightly more flame and click bait headline. It's early days for the PS4 Japan no need to panic if it's not selling gangbusters at the minute. Might be down to the games it's released with and time of year. At least it's good news for Nintendo in Japan.
@rjejr, I realise that Sonic Boom is based on the upcoming Saturday morning cartoon, but didn't know the game is not being released in Japan. I think Nintendo have been caught out with the move to HD and I think Sega and Nintendo make a great fit even if it's mutual or timed exclusives.
I can see what he is saying, thing is Microsoft got complacent and Sony managed to build a console with hype and buzz not seen since PS2.
@rjejr From what I have seen I have high hopes for Sonic Boom, can't help feeling that Nintendo should have brought Sega quite some time ago and may have now missed the boat.
I can't see Nintendo publishing any of its IP on Sony or Microsoft consoles. It would mean the end for Nintendo manufacturing hardware. They're a cash rich company according to reports and can afford th Wii U to tank. What they need to do is invest in more internal studios and come back with a stronger console in around 3 - 4 years time.
Vita is a mobile device, which to me means you download the majority of content to save on carrying around game carts. The main problems with the vita is memory card cost and no internal memory.
A monster sale that's for sure, just picked up a Vita so I think AC3, Wipeout, Jet Set Radio. Most likely need a 32GB card as well as I don't think the 16GB card I've got will last much longer!!
Still sailing and plundering the high seas in AC4 15% sync and a hell of a long way to go that game is huge!! Tearaway and Killzone Shadow Fall still under wraps.

Re: What Do You Actually Do in PS4 Indie No Man's Sky?
Sounds better now a bit more information has been released, colour me interested.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think of Sony's PlayStation Experience Keynote?
The EA free game promotion is available in Europe!!, not a bad presentation Uncharted looks very good. Also a lot of vita love.

Re: Feature: Cyber Monday 2014 Deals - Every PS4, PS3, and PlayStation Vita Sale
@get2sammyb, Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is £19.95 for PS4 on The Game Collection.net.
Not played the game before, would you say it's worth a punt at that price?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 48
Still playing FIFA on PS4, picked up Shadow of Modor in the Black Friday deals, but missed out on Diablo 3 due to Tesco website being down.
Re: Feature: Black Friday 2014 Deals - Every PS4, PS3, and PlayStation Vita Sale
Already picked up Shadow of Mordor from Game at that price to good a opportunity and couldn't resist.
Re: Review: Assassin's Creed Rogue (PlayStation 3)
This sounds a lot better than Unity, wish I still had my PS3
Re: UK Sales Charts: Assassin's Creed Unity Sails Past Black Flag's Launch Sales
I think this has sold well, because of how good Black Flag was and people pre-ordered before release.
I think the next release will not sell as well due to the well documented issues with Unity.
Certainly will not buy this myself until fully patched and in working order.

Re: Ever Wanted to Know Why You Can't Change Your PSN Name?
Surely they could implement a solution like Microsoft?, wouldn't mind paying to bring my PSN profile in line with my other profiles
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 46
Still plugging away with FIFA 15 on PS4, also Mario Kart 8 DLC on WII U
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 44

Re: Talking Point: How Did the Three Major Manufacturers Fare at E3 2014?
Here is what I said over at Nintendo Life
I can only comment on Ninetndo's E3 presentation as it was the only one I watched.

Re: E3 2014: Yes, Sony's Smallest Ever Console Is Coming Overseas
Why not make the Vita TV compatible with the dualshock 4?. You would be able to play the entire Vita / PSP catalogue.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 28
Mario Kart 8 for Wii U and looking like Injustice Ultimate edition for my PS4
Re: Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Sows Its Seeds on PS4 This August
Getting this, the one Xbox game I really wanted. Looks insane and a blast to play.
Would of liked this come to the Wii U but we all know how that unprecedented relationship turned out.
Re: Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Looks Set to Root Down on PS4
Liked the look of this when I seen the trailers, hopefully PS4 bound soon

Re: Feature: Everything You Need to Know About PS4's Latest Crop of Content
Drifter & Jamestown+ already own Spelunky on Vita
Re: Sony Just Revealed More PS4 Games Than We Have Time to Talk About
I like the look of Jamestown+ and Drifter reminds me of Elite and more recently of Galaxy on Fire 2 that appeared on IOS & Android.

@get2sammyb, that's some serious collection. I'm curious is the majority of your games digital downloads?
Re: Talking Point: Is The Last of Us Remastered Enough to Carry PS4 Until Christmas?
Will pick this up eventually on PS4 as I sold my PS3 before this game came out! a mistake never to repeat again
Re: Review: Football Manager Classic 2014 (PlayStation Vita)
Sounds good I wonder if I can manage to get Leicester City promoted out of the championship!
Re: The Last of Us Remastered's First PS4 Trailer Drinks in the View
Never played this on PS3, looks really impressive count me in.
Re: Feature: 12 PS3 Hits We'd Like to See Remastered for PS4
Mass Effect trilogy no question, followed by Bayonetta.

Re: Not Every PlayStation Port Sells Better Than Its Wii U Equivalent
It may be tailored to Nintendo Systems but you can't get this on the European Eshop for Wii U. Getting on Vita is my only option.
Re: Pachter: Nintendo Should Publish Its Games on the PS4
I can't see Nintendo publishing any of its IP on Sony or Microsoft consoles. It would mean the end for Nintendo manufacturing hardware. They're a cash rich company according to reports and can afford th Wii U to tank. What they need to do is invest in more internal studios and come back with a stronger console in around 3 - 4 years time.
Re: Soapbox: Sony Is Depriving Players of the Optimal PS Vita Experience
Vita is a mobile device, which to me means you download the majority of content to save on carrying around game carts. The main problems with the vita is memory card cost and no internal memory.
Re: No, Sony Didn't Announce a PS4 Headset During Its CES Press Conference
If the PS4 headset exists, I would expect Sony to reveal it at E3, with a possible late 2014 launch. Sony at the minute needs to keep PS4 in supply.
Re: PlayStation Europe Celebrates the Season with Free Winter Warmers
A nice extra present from Sony, merry Christmas
Re: We'd Just Like to Wish You All a Very Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all my fellow playstation gamers
Re: Your Wallet Will Be Lighter Once You're Done with This Huge EU PSN Sale
A monster sale that's for sure, just picked up a Vita so I think AC3, Wipeout, Jet Set Radio. Most likely need a 32GB card as well as I don't think the 16GB card I've got will last much longer!!
Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Mirror Steam's Discount Strategy for PSN?
Steam style fire sales are a good idea, also why not low the prices for games that have been on sale for 3 months+?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 18
Still sailing and plundering the high seas in AC4 15% sync and a hell of a long way to go that game is huge!! Tearaway and Killzone Shadow Fall still under wraps.
