It won't be hard to be the biggest one Naughty Dog's done - the only competition is Left Behind.

The idea sounds pretty awesome to me. Slap on a good pair of headphones and you've essentially got a cinema to watch and play your entire game/bluray library in.

These games are going to look terrible on this hardware.

You can tell Cerny's the type of guy who lives in his head. He struggles to make eye contact in interviews.

I just completely fail to see the appeal in this. There's no way it's ever going to be better than Witcher 3.

Could have been something that was in some way considered distasteful after the shootings of the last few days. I don't think anyone's making a massacre simulator or anything, but perhaps a particularly gory first person shooter for VR or something. Think along the lines of No Russian from MW2.

Ted Price would never allow Insomniac to work on someone else's IP. If it's happening, Sanzaru would be my first pick.

It seems to me like a cute little UC4 easter egg and tribute to Children of Men and nothing more.

This is why I've never supported a kickstarter.
Yooka-Laylee looks awesome, and I have the utmost faith in that team, but those who supported this would have said the same thing about Inafune.

A shame. Perhaps the Platinum B-Team needs to slow down - this is coming about 8 months after Devastation.

@shogunrok Any ETA on reviews for Mutants in Manhattan? Hoping that's not as disappointing as this, though I'm not not optimistic.

As far as I'm concerned games need more colour as a whole, but the gritiness of the textures is a different story. In that comparison of the Joker it looks like his suit has been recently pressed, and, I mean, when do you think the Joker last washed?

Love the answer to that last question.

That actually is really impressive.

I got what I expected -a presentational masterclass that will for some reason be held up as the pinnacle of gaming until the next ND game.

Anyone who says Uncharted 2 is still good hasn't played it since 2009.

Yeah it'll definitely get released separately six months after IW's launch. There's no reason to have a game that could be making money sitting around not making money.

The Insomniac VR games are exclusive to Oculus because Ted Price and the head of Oculus Gaming are friends and have worked together in the past.

But they've already announced a season pass with 3 DLC packs, only one of which is single-player stuff...

TJ Fixman was never going to be able to write an actual movie. He managed to write something somewhat touching with Crack in Time but even then the story boils down to a bunch of interstitials.

Why's Uncharted 1 on there?

awesome

Someone who is so mature that they can't have a laugh at a fat joke is not mature at all.

@get2sammyb "I didn't want to have a laugh at someone's expense" is a mention of the nebulous anyone else as a factor in the decision. It's totally fair to speculate as to who that someone might have been.
Also those are sposed to be italics, how do you do those again?

It's a shame that Amy Hennig left, because I genuinely believe we could have seen TLOU2 a year and a half after UC4 (which itself would have come out sooner). As it is, it's likely to be a good two and a half years at least, and splitting ND into two teams a few years back hasn't achieved much.

@get2sammyb Actually, correction, Bully is there but Manhunt isn't - I'd forgotten that it was called Canis Canem Edit here.

@get2sammyb You might want to add to the article that they have not been added to the AU/NZ Store (which usually follows the same exact release schedule as the EU one). This is very possibly because Manhunt is banned here.

I kind of respect them for just being gratuitous. Most other devs would try to pretend this is still about volleyball.

Yeah, gives me time to finish Ratchet and Clank and Dark Souls 3.
I don't mind.

Yeah, considering that there was originally hope for a late 2014 release when the game was first announced, I had assumed that after Hennig left the game was basically started over. They probably kept the setpieces and assets they'd already built but not much else.

God I hope so.
RDR has some serious pop-in and framerate issues, but otherwise it's damn perfect, so a remaster (unlikely from Rockstar) or a sequel using the PS4's tech would be heavenly.

id-tech 5 barely got used at all, and was looking pretty average come Wolfenstein New Order, so I hope this one sees more use. id's engines generally are very impressive - when they're first used.

It really depends on the game. The traversal in Ass Creed was fun for the first couple years, but the worlds are huge and the missions are so far apart that I fast travel as much as possible.

On the other hand, the wingsuit is better than sex so I don't fast travel anywhere in Just Cause 3.

The reason this looks like Bloodborne is because it's running on the same game and lighting engines. Hopefully the art direction will be enough to differentiate it, but from what we've seen so far I'm not hopeful.

Yeah, nah, I'll be avoiding this. UC3's later trailers spoiled snippets of some pretty big moments.

The word 'miniseries' means there's likely to be more than one episode, right? This isn't just a 400 Days thing?

The only problem here is that the game is so huge that I have no need for DLC.

New Zealand represent.

Obviously.

Insomniac's one of my favorite developers and Metroid's one of my favorite series' (although I'm not usually big on other Metroidvanias) so hopefully this turns out well, but I agree it looks a little meh from this brief slice.

It's nice to have Platinum stuff to look forward to every few months though. This, then Star Fox Zero, then Nier Automata.

I reckon this will be less Transformers and more Korra in quality.

It is in fact okay to decide you don't like a game after giving it 18 hours of your life.

If I were to write an article about Uncharted it would look like the first half of this article.

cool

@thedevilsjester Yeah, it's going to retain some elements, but for example I really doubt James Arnold Taylor's boy scout Ratchet will end up hating Clank for a good third of the game like Mikey Kelley's in the first game.

And neither approach is necessarily worse, but at the time it was cool to see a buddy platformer where the buddies hated each other.

The 20th-25th are a little busy.
Star Fox Zero, UC4, and now this are all in that same few days. I don't think Dark Souls III has an EU date yet and it'll probably end up there too.

Ouch.

@get2sammyb Yeah, having only just played it recently, 2014 must have been horrendous if Shadow of Mordor was all anyone could come up with for GotY last year.

Wait, you guys forgot TF Devastation!

I made a list myself the other day and I surprised myself when I figured out it was TF Devastation.
