Thankfully for Jaxon, his loyalties don't lie with one platform in particular so regardless of platform, I'll get to play this. I don't miss the days of being a single console owner. Not one bit.
@Grawlog
That good eh?
I have it on GameCube, but I think I bought the HD 360 version on Xbox One when BC was announced for it. I played maybe an hour or so, can't remember too much. But I've heard great things.
@sub12 But did you know you could also plug in Sonic 1 and Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine? You'd get a screen that says "NO WAY!!! NO WAY!!!" With Sonic and friends shaking their finger, but press A+B+C+Start and you'd unlock infinite chaos emerald bonus levels. I made it to level 469 before finally dying.
Ah man, I was a Sonic MANIAC when I was growing up. I actually was raised on NES, SNES and N64 but once I tried my friend's Genesis, Sonic was played so much... Oh my goodness.
This is the game I've been waiting for indeed.
Still think SNES is way, way better than Genesis (a fact I only recently came to acknowledge as I discovered the wealth of SNES classics and fan translations- be it Super Mario World, DKC 1-3, Super Metroid, F-Zero, Fire Emblem 3-5, Super Mario Kart, Yoshi's Island, Earthbound, Mega Man VII, X, X2 and X3, Killer Instinct, Maximun Carnage, Street Fighter II Turbo, SSFII and SFII Alpha, Final Fantasy II, V and VI, Secret of Mana 1-2, Dragon Quest I, II, III, V and VI, 7th Saga, Romancing Saga and Romancing Saga 3, Lufia 1-2,Bahamut Lagoon, Chrono Trigger, Terranigma, Y's 3-5, Soul Blazer, SMT 1-2, Illusion of Gaia, Der Langrisser, Shiren the Wanderer, Tactics Ogre, Breath of Fire 1-2, Super Castlevania IV...)
And, I know there's a lengthy list of Genesis classics too, despite Sonic being all I played on it.
Sony pushed 3D gaming real hard, then they dropped it.
Sony pushed Move real hard, then they dropped it.
Sony pushed Vita real hard, then they dropped it.
Sony is pushing VR real hard...
I think we can all guess what's going to happen 2 years from now.
The thing is, I don't care. I know Sony is gonna drop VR yet I'm still willing to invest day one. I know it'll happen just by looking at the state of Occulus and Vive. There was some hype around launch, then people just stopped talking about it. Nothing really exciting coming up either that's grabbing people's attention or turning heads back for a second glance. It's just a niche, expensive device doomed to fail despite how amazing it seems to truly be.
But that's just it. It seems so genuinely amazing that I'm willing to buy a device destined for abandonment just to experience the small, limited library it will provide. I'm not a fan of DriveClub (Forza Horizon? Oh heck ya, anything else? Not so much). but I'm seriously stoked for DriveClub VR. I may even get a wheel to go with it.
I just have to experience it- I have to. And no $500 price tag, doomed fate or lack of AAA single player adventures is going to come between me and my VR. I think that speaks well of PSVR. If you can convince me to buy a device I know, that I know that I know, won't have the epic single player RPG's I want, won't see 1st party support more than a couple years and costs more than the console itself, if even despite all that I'm willing to lock in a preorder... I think that means it must be pretty freaking amazing.
@Gamer83 I'm supporting this game, again, by buying the PS4 version day one. Seems crazy given I own it but, it's only $47.99 with GCU for one, also I have the reboot and Temple of Osiris on PS4 and I like keeping series together on one platform, plus there's a little slice of VC to enjoy and I love my Tomb Raider so, naturally I gotta check that out.
@get2sammyb Oh I think it definitely will. PS has always been synonymous with Tomb Raider, much like Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy (even though they aren't bound to PS like a 1st party title and have no obligations toward the platform, there is still a strong fanbase there, moreso than other platforms).
And I think most people don't really care one way or another about it coming later. The vast majority of people just like playing games and don't let politics ruffle their feathers.
@wiiware You have to compare 360 to 360, X1 to X1, PC to PC. Can't just say "it sold less total" when it isn't done releasing yet.
And even if it sold less pound for pound on other platforms, that's irrelevant because Xbox/PC gamers had no reason to not buy it. So if it sold less pound for pound, then it's for other reasons and has nothing to do with the exclusivity. Xbox and PC gamers aren't protesting and upset.
So really, you're gonna have to wait and see how it does on PS4 for a year before drawing any "it sold less" conclusions. Because it could sell less just because it naturally sold less, and has nothing to do with the exclusivity.
I'd look at X1 and PC sales and see how well it did. And then project that expectation on PS4. So if it sold 75% as well on X1 as the reboot sold on X1, then a fair expectation would be to sell 75% on PS4 as the reboot did.
That's just something we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.
@wiiware "Of course squareenix will say that they were pleased with the game's sales because they doesn't want angering investor because of the bad deal they make with microsoft"
No that's not true. When a game doesn't meet expectations they're not afraid to say so. They can't mask the numbers, and that's what investors look at more than just what they say. RotTR sold twice what the reboot did on Xbox One, and they still have PS4 sales to sink into now.
When everything is said and done, I'm sure they'll be just dandy.
Um, I like trophies and all, but not enough to go out of my normal gaming routine for them. Whatever I get, I get. Aside from Persona 4: Dancing All Night, every trophy I have was naturally acquired without trying to obtain it. And even that game I only platinum'd it cause I was 5 trophies away anyways and never got a Plat before.
Default difficulty all the way. I enjoy hard games, but only those naturally demanding like Dark Souls, Monster Hunter or Donkey Kong Country.
So, I don't wanna buy the disc version then, right?
This is a totally separate purchase, and digital only? What is with these people and making DC digital only? They did the same thing at launch of the normal game too.
@rjejr Key word, "half". A lot of season passes now are the price of the game.
But I hear you. That's why I ignore season passes unless it's a game I really love. Or in the case of me switching all my multiplats to X1 I'm just buying the Complete Editions with all DLC and season pass included. A rare opportunity for a chronic day one purchaser.
This game looks... strangely appealing. Still hate the art style of the characters though.
Yah. JaxonH called it. In fact, it far outperformed even my predictions. Like I said, Persona moves units like Shin Megami Tensei does on 3DS. Oodles of sales.
Sounds neato. Would be nice to have a smaller unit but, meh, it's all good.
What I really need to be smaller is my Xbox One. That thing is gargantuan lol. I could fit 4 Wii U's inside of it I think. Was tempted by Xbox One S but, just like PS4 Pro, I'm not gonna bite. I have pretty much decided to get a Scorpio though. Sounds like even more of a leap than Pro and, plus I'm kind of invested in Xbox more now that I switched my entire collection over due to lack of space on PS4.
The only console that's ever earned the privilege of me buying multiples, has been New 3DS. And even that I've put an end to recently.
@Thegentleman PS3- Shadow of the Colossus and Ni No Kuni. The two games I wish I could play but can't.
Vita- Rayman Origins and Legends, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed (trust me it's better than Mario Kart), and all sorts of yummy JRPG's, too many to list. But start with Persona 4 Golden (and by gosh Persona 4 Dancing All Night- funnest rhythm game ever made, my first and only Platinum to this day)
Not buyin one until VR and NX but, in a year or so when the time comes, I may. If the results warrant it. Really it comes down to how soon my existing HDTV lasts. It's 7 years old and probably has another 7 years in it.
In which case I'll just wait for the next generation.
@kupo I think if a person spends their hard earned money on the game, let them enjoy it how they see fit. No sweat off our backs. It's not how I play games, but it is useful for some, like my friend @rjejr here who struggles to jump over the first pit in Super Mario Bros without seeing a game over screen.
Good. There's been more than enough time spent this gen on making older games more visually palletable. What with all the remasters and now, if devs start going back again to spruce up visuals even more... it's like come on, when does it stop? Release a game and be done with it. Half this generation has been existing games fluffed up visually and repackaged for sales- Lord knows the last thing they need is even more reason to keep dressing up the same old existing games. It'll be PS5 and still releasing PS3 remasters.
The best ones I ever played were Mario Golf World Tour (that game is crazy good, in fact best Mario sports game ever made maybe) and the Wii Sports Golf on Wii U where you hit the ball with a Wiimote off the gamepad screen into the TV. That one was almost like a SIM it felt so realistic. I liked Tiger Woods on Wii but never liked it without motion.
And now, I'm about ready for something new. I've heard nothing but good things about Hot Shots, and almost bought the one on Vita. But I think I'll get this one (provided it doesn't sink in reviews). This game seems to be more lighthearted, which is exactly how I like them.
@Grawlog I'm loving it. I keep hearing the end game sucks- all kinds of issues like fetch quest, difficulty spikes, etc, but all I can judge is what I've played so far. And 5 hours in- loving it.
I told myself even if the the game stops being fun toward the end, and even if I stop playing at that point, I won't regret my time spent. If I'm having this much fun along the way, screw it. Take what you like, leave the rest, right?
Yet this game was hyped and praised as the second coming.
Then later people come to their senses and say, "oh uh, ya, it was kinda meh"
It's like this for almost every hyped game nowadays though, provided it's not a massive disappointment. But every single time- Assassin's Creed Unity also comes to mind, which scored very well yet now is looked back on as pretty meh.
Hey, I'm all aboard the remake train, as log as they're games I want
This is great for me given I missed most of last gen- barely touched my PS3 or Wii. Think I played MGS4, Metroid Prime 3 and Zelda Twilight Princess, and that's it.
But if this happens next generation too (and with greedy publishers I can't see it not happening), I may have to start skipping every other generation. We'll see how it goes.
@get2sammyb Nah, Japan loves their Shin Megmi Tensei games. And last I checked, Persona Dancing All Night- a spin off of a spin off, sold like crazy. Even rivaled SMT IV sales on 3DS.
My guess is it's gonna hit 40-50k next week. 30 at the very worst
However, what I'm doing is importing the Asia physical version which has English. Can't take any more of these 3.5gb digital Vita games on a 64gb memcard that was maxed out 2 years ago.
@adf86 Killzone has always been a subpar franchise, CoD BO2 Declassified was one of the worst games in modern history and AC was also mediocre at best. Even Uncharted Golden Abyss is nothing compared to console entries.
You've got to make amazing games to sell systems. Not "decent to good" and "abominable". Unless Sony was just conceding they can't make amazing games? But we know that's not true. They just didn't make any for Vita, much less consistently support it with amazing games, and then they wonder why it fails.
Truth is, it was the "lots of decent but absolutely zero amazing games" combined with the $100 proprietary memory cards that really did it in. You can't treat handhelds like a second rate platform and expect successful results. You have to give games every bit as good as on consoles. Infamous Second Son, Ratchet & Clank, a Naughty Dog developed Uncharted or even a Last of Us port, get Street Fighter IV Ultimate on the system and Demon Souls or Bloodborne, work out a deal for Tomb Rauder port... this would have sold systems.
They didn't do it all wrong. Gravity Rush was an excellent example of a great Vita game, and Wipeout 2048 was closer to great than average, but these games are more niche and 2 games isn't enough. It has to be a consistent flood of excellent games.
@get2sammyb I knew we weren't getting external drive support, but far be it from me to pass up an opportunity to harp about it 😀
Truth is, it's not the end of the world. I've switched my collection to X1 where there's lots of space, and honestly it just makes sense that way. Sony gets far more exclusives than Xbox, so it was always a waste to have an X1 sitting there with only 8 games on it. This way, I utilize my space on Xbox and will still probably fill my 2TB PS4 with exclusives alone. So it works out perfectly. No sense wasting space with dozens of 50gb+ multiplats on a console brimming with exclusives that will max out even without multiplatform titles.
Still, I'd buy a PS4 Pro if it housed 15mm internal drives. My bank account would just have to deal with it.

Ya. And it's the one game in this list I'm interested in (already scored Bioshock Collection on X1)

Eh, who needs a dub. It's probably better when you can't understand em.

Man, no physical sucks. I was gonna buy this LE too.
Guess I'll just get the plain Jane digital version on sale.

Me too. Online only is a deal breaker, which would be a shame.

Digital only.
However, what I'm doing is importing the Asia physical version which has English. Can't take any more of these 3.5gb digital Vita games on a 64gb memcard that was maxed out 2 years ago.

Thank you for the tips.
Re: TGS 2016: Sony Hasn't Forgotten About the PS Vita Entirely
@adf86
Killzone has always been a subpar franchise, CoD BO2 Declassified was one of the worst games in modern history and AC was also mediocre at best. Even Uncharted Golden Abyss is nothing compared to console entries.
You've got to make amazing games to sell systems. Not "decent to good" and "abominable". Unless Sony was just conceding they can't make amazing games? But we know that's not true. They just didn't make any for Vita, much less consistently support it with amazing games, and then they wonder why it fails.
Truth is, it was the "lots of decent but absolutely zero amazing games" combined with the $100 proprietary memory cards that really did it in. You can't treat handhelds like a second rate platform and expect successful results. You have to give games every bit as good as on consoles. Infamous Second Son, Ratchet & Clank, a Naughty Dog developed Uncharted or even a Last of Us port, get Street Fighter IV Ultimate on the system and Demon Souls or Bloodborne, work out a deal for Tomb Rauder port... this would have sold systems.
They didn't do it all wrong. Gravity Rush was an excellent example of a great Vita game, and Wipeout 2048 was closer to great than average, but these games are more niche and 2 games isn't enough. It has to be a consistent flood of excellent games.

I heard about this a couple months ago, been eagerly awaiting details.
It looks excellent.
Re: Oh Dear, The Last Guardian Delayed into December on PS4
@Gamer83
I'm used to delays from Nintendo, and usually don't care much, but this is nuts even for me.
I think every single game on PS4 has been delayed, sometimes 2-3 times. I can't trust anything anymore.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 4.00 Adds New Features Tomorrow

I knew we weren't getting external drive support, but far be it from me to pass up an opportunity to harp about it 😀
Truth is, it's not the end of the world. I've switched my collection to X1 where there's lots of space, and honestly it just makes sense that way. Sony gets far more exclusives than Xbox, so it was always a waste to have an X1 sitting there with only 8 games on it. This way, I utilize my space on Xbox and will still probably fill my 2TB PS4 with exclusives alone. So it works out perfectly. No sense wasting space with dozens of 50gb+ multiplats on a console brimming with exclusives that will max out even without multiplatform titles.
Still, I'd buy a PS4 Pro if it housed 15mm internal drives. My bank account would just have to deal with it.
