Awesome!!! I am going to guess the second week of November 12th-16th. As much as I would like to see it release in October, I think that might be too soon.
I have been a PS+ member for about a year and I think it is more than worth it and I don't ever see myself canceling my membership. Obviously I will need it to play online multiplayer in the future but this was my mindset before that announcement. Now if they use that extra revenue to make improve the PSN that would be awesome! Which they have already started on right path, they just need to keep it up.
While this might be another issue for Microsoft, I don't think it will hurt them that much since those territories are more pro Sony anyways. If here is a delay in US, Canada, and the UK launch then that would definitely hurt them.
@Reverend_Skeeve @get2sammyb At SDCC I was able to watch some gameplay of Watch Dogs and they did show a scenario where someone was hacking into your game and then you go and get revenge on them in their game. It does alert you when someone is hacking into your game. It's kinda hard to explain without seeing it but from what I saw it actually made the game more interesting. I don't think you will be disappointed.
This is the kind of crap that pisses me off and if more developers think this way whats the point of having consoles that are different or unique. If using the touchpad or the lightbar is more efficient or makes the game better how is it the "best experience for both systems"? No, you are just making a generic experience that can be utilized by either system instead of creating a game that utilizes the strengths of each console. It's not like I am expecting you to develop the game to use the Move, just the basic controller that comes with the system.
@get2sammyb I finally played this last night and It's not a bad game at all. If you are a Tekken fan I would recommend giving it a try for sure. One of the first few games I owned on PS One was the first Tekken.
@get2sammyb Maybe I am getting my titles confused but it was the first Tekken games you could download off the PSN and it had random generated character names. It seemed very buggy and appeared like it was an unfinished game. I haven't touched it since I bought it so I can't remember all the details. I will have to double check the name when I am near my PS3.
@get2sammyb Yeah I plan on downloading it either today or tomorrow if not then the weekend for sure. Can't be any worse than Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
The real question is can they really afford to sell the vita for $100? Would they be able to still make a profit on the bundle?? If not, then it will never happen.
I am getting the PS4 at launch. There was no "wow" factor for me with the XBone and most of the games that I would want to play are rumored to me timed exclusives or I could just play them on a PC. Other than that the only game that I got excited for was Killer Instinct which sounded cool at first until I saw it in action and it just looks like Street Fighter IV with Killer Instinct fighters instead of a modern Killer Instinct game so whats that point?...lol
It depends on the game and if its mulitplayer co-op or mulitplayer pvp. I don't think developers should add multiplayer just for the sake of having multiplayer. If a single player game is good enough and there is content added to it via DLC that should hold a players attention enough to be entertained and not sell the game.
4K TVs have already hit the market and in due time I am sure we are going to see content in 4k. The way the network infrastructure is in the US I don't see digital media being feasible to handle 4k or even 8k content in the near future. For now I think another disc option will be needed until our infrastructure improves and I definitely see it being used in the business environment. There is already a 1,000 TB disc in development.
I can see the issue with games being easier than others to get platinum trophies but the last time I checked a platinum trophy means you just completed all the other trophies in a game (100%) and I think all games should have platinum trophies. If you want to make trophies more of a skill than there needs to be a restructuring of the trophy system.
I would like to see them reveal a release date and more details on the HDD drive (ie. form factor, type of SATA it supports, etc). I don't think 500GB is going to be enough especially if you get a lot of digital content. I plan on upgrading the HDD right away so I don't have to worry about it for a long time.
I have a PS4 on pre-order but I haven't decided on any games yet, I am leaning towards pre-ordering both Killzone and NFS; Rivals. If Gamefly adds PS4 games to their library before launch then I might only get one. I did have a chance to play Driveclub at SDCC, the game looked cool and had some cool features but I didn't really like how the cars handled. It was just a demo and it is only 36% done so, hopefully there is an improvement when it launches.

Re: Review: Tekken Revolution (PlayStation Network)
I have liked most of the Tekken games, somehow I missed out on this one. It looks interesting but not sure about the micro transactions.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a $500 PS4 and Vita Bundle?
The real question is can they really afford to sell the vita for $100? Would they be able to still make a profit on the bundle?? If not, then it will never happen.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a $500 PS4 and Vita Bundle?
The problem is that I already have a PS4 on pre-order. I would by it if I could keep the pre-order and just pay the difference.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Intend to Buy the PS4's Camera?
I plan on getting it but depending on my cash flow I may or may not get it at launch.
Re: FAQ: What Are the Differences Between the PS4 and Xbox One?

Re: Talking Point: Do Single Player Focused Games Really Need Multiplayer?

Re: Sony Wants You to Be Able to Store 300GB of Data on a Disc
@Grockumus Now that would be awesome if that actually happened! You would probably have room for other consoles' libraries on it as well.
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins Takes the Battle for Gotham Online
Well, it sounds cool in theory but will have to see how it actually pans out.
