Let the craziness begin.

I just want to feel like I am running around in an Alien movie. Will is do that for me?

i.e.Quiet times roaming dark corridors scared one is going to pop out from nowhere while I work towards some goal. Knowing a big battle awaits at any moment.

BTW, I have decided it is on my "wait" list for the moment. (something has to be). The fact that Polygon didn't like it inspires me to get it more though. There are a few more reviews out now, many positive. It is currently averaging 79, so they have to have pulled it off to a fair degree.

I really liked PS Home, but it was just too damn slow. Made it unusable. I am just not that patient.

If they could bring it to PS4 and make it crisp and responsive, I don't know. I think there is a niche for this.

"That might be a bit of an exaggeration" - I didn't realise Yoshida was the master of understatement.

Unfortunately the delays on this game are just getting silly now. If it is still real, they need to at least show us something.

I like the idea but they will need better themes than that to interest me. Mine is already heavily customized.

@Bad-MuthaAdebis Yep! I built a special table that leaned in and held the wheel. So I sat on my couch with Wide screen TV, surround sound, Pedals fixed in place at my feet, and force feedback wheel fixed hard to the table that leaned in over my lap. The table height and lean angle were adjustable for different people. It worked great.

I'm tempted to send in photos.

@Bad-MuthaAdebis You don't see the appeal of bringing the arcade into your house? Hmm.

Yeah really unhelpful comment. There is no way that this game will sell more than FH2. That series has a long and prestigious pedigree. DC is unknown even if looking good. The only issue I see for FH2, is that it isn't long since the last Forza game, so not everyone will double dip. Still it being open world may change that up a bit, but then The Crew comes in as competition.

By the time Project Cars is released in Nov, Racing fans will be living the dream! Spoiled for choice.

Was always going to pick up the full Retail copy of Drive Club, but as it has turned out the free PS+ offering of Drive Club is perfect.

The Oct/Nov releases are the most insane selection of games I want to play that I have ever seen in such a short period. I am actually a little lost on how I am going to try and fit everything in that I want to. Its not possible, so some touch choices must be made.

It means that I will be picking up the PS+ free version of Drive Club to test rather than just buying the retail game. The Shadow of Mordor reviews/comments made that decision for me. Will still look at getting the full game down the track if it is as good as expect/hope.

Shadow of Mordor pre-ordered. Destiny and minecraft until then, though Sherlock Holmes has me thinking.

@Paranoimia With GT5, I bought the wheel for about $100, then built my own desk for about $50 out of wood. It is pretty sweet, still have it. Then spent around 150-200 hours playing GT5. At time I brought it out at parties, had friends and the whole extended family racing. Uncles, aunts parents etc. One of the best gaming investments I have every made. It is folded away at the moment, but was hoping DC would give me an excuse to get it out again. Oh well.

No Logitech wheel support? That sucks big time. I hope that patch it. That will seriously reduce my time with the game. I wonder if Project cars does a better job?

yeah, no invite. oh well.

@Bad-MuthaAdebis Yeah the price is high, that is my only concern. May wait until it drops a little. Just too much to play in the next 2 months. Have to be a but choosy.

never heard of this but interested

@hadlee73 you have lost me. what possible similarity is there between this and gears?

@get2sammyb no harm done. just good to know what happened.

@get2sammyb Hmm. My comment for this article has vanished without a trace?! Any idea what happened? Edited (wouldn't have thought it was controversial). Issue with the server the other day?

There was even a reply from Fenriswolf which has gone too. Something's not right.

Been keeping an eye out for this. Hoping it is not terrible. So very glad to hear it is not. Definitely on my radar.

@Kell Andersen Holden Kell, that was an Aussie joke slipped in there and I'm not sure everyone will get it!

@Faruko The resolution / FPS debate these days gets a lot of time, because of comparisons across systems. When comparison the exact same game that has "some" value, when comparing different games, its means nothing.

Saying that a phone can do 1080p doesn't mean anything in and of itself. You can generate a a single cube dancing around the screen in 1080p / 60 fps and it wont be very taxing to display. 1080p is just the screen size. The more polygons you have in the image and especially the animations, the more lighting, partial, shadow effects, LOD, anti-aliasing. These all add complexity. The game designer has to balance things and choose the best combination. So this "aim" will not ever go away. Because there is always a push for games to look better, more realistic. As they they add more detail to achieve that 1080p and 60 fps get harder. They will have to compromise somewhere else. The best compromise will depend on the game in question. Some will sacrifice 60fps, some 1080p (I hope not) and other polygons, or effects etc.

I so can't wait for this game. It is going to be awesome! B grade terrible, and absolutely awesome.

@get2sammyb Sammy, I think that your song choice is showing your age a little! Takes one to know one.

@get2sammyb Jealous? Me too.
I noticed its a PS3 in the picture, not a PS4.

Unfortunately I don't think that there is a release date for Australia yet.

Destiny and Minecraft, Minecraft and Destiny. and vice versa.

@Jazzer94 I for one love the TV features of the PS3, and am excited for them to come to the PS4.

PS3 is virtually only used for PlayTV now. I haven't played a game on it in months. If PlayTV / DLNA came out for the PS4, I would probably sell the PS3.

Can't wait for this game. The more I see, the more I like.

@rjejr lol yes!

@Bliquid Thanks. I get you.
Just heard the "game-play is more important than graphics" argument too many times, and had thought you were heading down that road. I'm certainly not trying to argue the reverse.

More simply that trying to pit though two concepts against each other is at best unhelpful, at worst pointless.They are two sides to the same coin.

Interestingly, most of the reviews from other site are considerably more positive than this one. (I haven't played the game yet). Suggesting Sammy's review is not representative of the majority. After years on this site I respect Sammy's opinion, so the disconnect makes me more interested to try out the game for myself!

@Bliquid I don't personally agree with driving an wedge between games and art. There are many examples where games have pulled it off. Journey and Child of Light come instantly to mind.

Form and function are interconnected, and enhance each other when both done well. Apple knows this more than anyone. It appears that this game, unfortunately, just didn't quite work.

what a shame.

Sad day. I hope MS prove me wrong, but not holding my breath.

I really enjoyed dead island. I can't explain why, but I really enjoyed it.

Early days, but I'm enjoying it so far. Not a big fan of shooters, but it seems a cut above to me.

The amount of good content coming out from now till the end of the year is huge. There is no way I can fit in everything I want to.

Oh well, first world problems.

@Madd_Hatter401 Ditto!

@Jaz007 Yeah, Troy is definitely channeling his best Delsin impression.

@rastamadeus There is no question. Assuming the rumour is true, it IS a brilliant tactical move (though expensive!).

As someone who loves Minecraft, owns a PS4 and not an XBO, I just don't personally want it to happen. Honestly though, MS needs to do something, so I could imagine this being true. Just don't want it to be.

Hmm. Lets hope not.

The whole family loves this game, and it looks/works great on the PS4.

Giving Destiny a 6/10 is just silly. The site in question is just embarrassing themselves. Not saying the game is perfect or beyond criticism, but a 6?!

I think that is hysterical. Well done MS.
But I can see payback coming with CoD.

Between this and destiny, I think that I may not talk to my family again until Oct.

@banacheck The beta played great. Honestly, it is all anyone is going to talk about for at least a month. You might as well join in.

The white PS4 looks fantastic. Wish I had one.

Have pre-ordered (which I never do) but want the gear!

Minecraft PS4 has arrived! I am downloading as I type.

I can see this working as a next gen release, and sell.

Personally, I enjoyed it, there were some great moments, but also many flaws and yes I finished feeling like the game had let em down. Not because it was bad (its not), but because with some simple changes, it could have been so much more.

Just a couple of examples, the sequence of memory was silly, and just confusing. It needed a central story-line and then flashbacks, rather than the endless jumping around. I also think that the game lacked puzzles. There were there in places, but not enough. If there is no game over screen, then there still needs to be a challenge to move forward. In some parts there was no challenge at all.

If David Cage is doing this, then I hope he takes the opportunity to do Beyond 2.0. Because some simple tweaks could transform the game from patchy to great, in my opinion. Overall, I enjoyed Heavy Rain much more.

Yep!

I find it really hard to get excited about these sort of games - 2D scrolling retro stuff, this included. It takes something "really" good to rise above and grab me. Not convinced this will, just not my style of game, but given the review score (and free on PS plus) will certainly give it try. Who knows, it may yet surprise me.

Really interested to see how many of these games get a western release. Not expecting all of them will. So people here may get their hopes us in vein. Their choice of Morpheus demo was "interesting". I can see it taking off though.
