No instantaneous return to game? No download. Playstation 4 being sold. Sony promised instant, not 15 seconds.

Registered. It's about time Sony started working on bringing the service to our shores.

@ShogunRok howz the framerate? The Japanese demo had some annoying stutter prevalent through most of the first mission so I'm just wondering if it's any better in the final releasw

Only picked the game up yesterday, but I may get this DLC at a later date as I'm enjoying what's on offer at the moment

It's never being released. Let it go people.

Hopefully they add a little more variety to the game this time. The original was decent with its multiple girls & endings, but got a little too repetitive quickly. I reckon this won't get a release in the west, although I did think the same thing for Onechanbara Z2, so I may have to import again

They should just put all their effort into remastering 2 & be done with it. It's the only Uncharted game worthy of the praise anyway

Destiny...GOTY...BAFTA...

I thought the Ps4 didn't have any other exclusives in the pipeline considering how much people are almost throwing themselves off bridges due to the Uncharted 4 delay

@Gamer83 Bandai Namco recently filed a trademark for Rage Burst in the EU, so a localisation of that could be on the cards. I'm guessing Sega are gonna wait on 5 & see how well that does before announcing anything for Zero. Zero has more of a chance than Ishin of being localised at least

@AeroZeppelin maybe...who knows?

Don't worry @ShogunRok there are those here that understand & agree with your reasoning regarding the 3DS & New 3DS. Good luck playing that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D on your 3DS eh

Uncharted delayed!? Playstation 4 being sold.

With how much of an emphasis people put on 1080p60 these days, this game must be instantaneously better than 95% of the Ps4's current library for sporting those technical bullet points

Finally. Something glorious on Ps4 instead of the usual drivel.

At least Nisa on publishing duties pretty much guarantees a physical release in Europe

Modern Warfare 2 is the worst CoD, alongside MW3. No matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd.

@splat I think it has the potential to be the next stage of gaming going forward. The only thing holding it back is that I don't think current games would work well with VR. The tech is going to require some radical new ideas to transpose the likes of Elder Scrolls etc into VR properly, whilst some genres like racing games & flight sims will be ridiculously easy. Sure VR could fall flat on its face, but there's genuine potential to innovate in numerous way with new experiences for an industry that's stagnated.

I don't care about the Suspend/Resume feature to be honest. The PSTV does it and I haven't even used it on that in the few months I've had it. The Saturn & Dreamcast I have plugged into my TV beside the Ps4 both function perfectly fine without the feature too. Yeah, not really fussed myself. Since 3D bluray playback was added I haven't really been much bothered about firmware updates

Voted Oddworld but looking forward to trying them all Valiant Hearts is the weakest of the lot though, or the least interesting, as I played it on PC and didn't think it was all it was cracked up to be. Maybe a second playthrough will help.

@get2sammyb I guess I'll find out tomorrow then. I do prefer my indies on the PSTV oddly enough

@XFsWorld I was just being a little mischievous with that statement. I'm not actually one of those neanderthals that believes brand new AAA games should be on plus

Looks decent enough to me. Oddworld should be good on the Ps4, but seriously Sony, no The Order 1886?

@get2sammyb The Vita titles PSTV compatible? Sony have been throwing out the Vita indies onto the IGC lately and most haven't even been compatible with the PSTV

Oh god, so Sony hasn't announced the IGC lineup yet....

This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
What do you mean, "biblical"?
What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

I really hope the subscription fee doesn't become a reality, no doubt its in the survey to test the waters and see if its a viable option.Considering other gaming networks like Gawker were raking in hunders of millions of dollars a year in ad revenue, it boggles the mind where all the money is going if a membership option is even being murmered

These sites should be doing more for long term loyal readers instead of considering the notion of showering new readers with benefits for a fee

I bought a Ps4 as it's the only next-gen system that seems to have any potential this time around. I was actually still rocking a HD-ready TV when I bought the system and didn't get a 1080p set till a few months later. Resolution didn't make a difference for me (although I appreciate it more having a 1080p set now)

@Midzark You mean the party chat system? Aye you can chat to others on different games, even different system. I was playing Warframe once on Ps4 & chatting to a few people playing Killzone on PSVita

Ban this sexist filth that legitimises misandry

@get2sammyb you guys get goodie bags? After a year being in the good graces of Nisa, IFI, Marvelous etc there's been nothing of the sort I've seen, just preview & press event invites. I guess it's something the bigger publishers do. Although Warner Bros keep oddly sending invites to pre release screenings of Japanese movies in London

I prefer a written review myself. They tend to offer more of an insight than what I've sampled on Youtube. There has been quite a few times I've not really agreed with a review I've read though, started playing Transistor last night and I'm failing to see what all the praise was for so far from the gaming press, but that's part and parcel of reviews from any form of media I guess. With how subjectively biased some reviewers can be, it's best not to formulate an opinion of a game based in what you watch or read anyway.

Day one patch only 30MB? Thats too small. Preorder cancelled.

It's funny how developers these days can't make a game how they want without cry babies throwing tantrums just because it doesn't fit their wants & desires for games. The time you spend spewing bile on the interent about a game that has absolutely no interest for you could've been spent playing a game that does interest you. Food for thought.

@get2sammyb does it work with Playstation TV?

@themcnoisy I just don't see that to be honest. There is no price hike or culling of content for games these days though, If that's the point of your analogy. Daytona & Sega Rally were both £49.99 on the Sega Saturn at launch and only featured a few tracks/few cars each. Those were 1st party exclusiveS too.

A games length isn't as easily quantifiable as people here are assuming tho. As I said in another comment thread, I've put more time into Child of Eden than I did Watch Dogs, and COE can be finished in a 2/3 hour sitting on your first run. A short game can easily outlast something ridiculously padded just by being a better game to plaY

Game length doesn't matter. What matters is how well the game itself plays. A short game can easily outlast one with hours & hours of padded content. Child of Eden is a game I constantly return to even tho all levels can be finished within 2 hours. It's simple to play, has unlockable collectibles, online leaderboards and dazzles in 3D. Why would I play a padded borefest like Watch Dogs, or something similar, instead?

Think of it this way. You have £1. You have the choice of a 6 variety pack of McCoy's or a 12 pack of ready salted Asda Smart Price crisp. Would you really buy the singular cheap value crisp over the better quality variety pack because you get more?

Don't mind re-releases too much, playing Sleeping Dogs on Ps4 at the moment, but this Darksiders 2 is a pointless one for me.

Daytona & Sega Rally on the Sega Saturn cost £49.99 when both games launched, and you could play through all they had to offer in less than an hour easily. Just offering a little perspective as noone here knows how that 5/6 hours of The Order is going to be, or if there's anything like collectibles to offer replay value - yet keep using length as a barometer of quality. That works so well for Ubisoft afterall I guess....

Review code arrived for Hyperdevotion Noire so I'll be playing that. Also picked up Freedom Wars but it keeps giving me an error code & won't boot so it's going back tomorrow. Looks like it's just Noire this weekend so far

Haven't played since the previous large update as the new ship based UI is wince inducing. May try out this new update later as I still have Warframe installed

No shimapan No hype

@Azikira pretty much the same for me. Another good thing for scores is if there's a game you know nothing about that gets a decent score which you then read the review for to get more information on if it's appealing or not. Without a score, why would you care to give that game or review a punt? Not everyone has such a carefree existence they can spend hours reading reviews to find other games to try.

Getting rid of review scores was something I'd mentioned with a fellow at my site and its something that was dismissed quickly. People read your reviews if you consistently put out ones that are balanced & fair. If the reviews at your publication are poor, then people will just look at the score & jog on. The score is only a footnote afterall. As for Metacritic, I've not applied there or have any intention at the moment. With a website like that the score becomes the header instead of the footnote & your written review suffers accordingly. No extra traffic is worth that.

When a game takes up the F2P model, comment sections be like...

I would've paid for this anyway

Reminds me of those Gold trials Microsoft used to do for Xbox Live. They'd call it a gold trial but your account would still be Silver, effectively locking you out of everything but playing games online.

People hate on remasters & buy remasters. What a twist

Managed to get into the Alpha & Beta, yet didn't even get a single game as the servers were so pish. Might wait this one out & see how it fares in a few months

No Disgaea 5? Pfffffffffffffffttttttttttt. There's at least half a dozen games that could replace those on this list with ease

I do enjoy me some Jrpg's, but I'm interested in neither FFXV or Persona 5 to be honest. I'll play them at some point though, but they're not my most anticipated Jrpg's

@rastamadeus careful now. You don't wanna rock the boat too much trying to entice heads from clouds regarding that trailer

Considering the a Ps3 version already has 1080p60 & 3D support with pretty much all those additional features mentioned in the last paragraph if you'd bought the DLC, I won't be dipping again for this even tho I regard it as the devs finest hour. The few extras aren't worth the asking price for previous owners

I think EA are just preparing everyone for the inevitable 'streamlining' of mechanics in their core titles

I think game world's these days are too grounded in reality, especially games developed in the west. A game like Infamous for example may have all the superhero shenanigans, but it's barely surreal running around a representation of current day Seattle, and the lore offers a decent enough explanation of how things have become the way they are that it's more of a 'what if?' situation. I don't think we get enough truly surreal games these days

"it implies that the technology is based upon its PlayStation Portable engine" That statement, just ripped a hole in space-time

Still not feeling it. Considering P4 was a step back for the series, I'm remaining as skeptical as possible for this one. The mainstream press hyping it as something of a revelatation to Jrpg's when it just looks like a muted Persona 4 is worth a plethora of chuckles tho

When does this start? Just gone to nab the EDF 2025 season pass & it's still full price
