@kohiba99 agreed. Its too specific and rich right now. I don't doubt the experience (had one for a short year) but the price is basically a whole major investment for, what is still even now, just mild curiosity and very occasional brilliant ideas.
There's a significant number who can afford this easily, I'm not outing you all as some kind of travesty to humanity, but you must understand even 200 for the cheapest VR option is WAY to much to shell out for one single title... and speaking honestly... even some of the best VR games still feel oddly make do and ghetto to me. Like a well made Garry's Mod experience. Fun but not exactly well implemented. There's no doubting the visuals in this but he moment you clip you hand through your head or can't pick up a bullet on the floor it'll feel real janky.

A shame they had to make their only Half Life game in 13 years a VR exclusive.
I suspected they would after all the Vive efforts but really... what a rich boy toy.
Perhaps VR will become as standard as anything else in no time.
Though just recently I'd hoped to avoid buying much gaming hardware upgrades ever again.
Interesting how they announced the, seemingly, vital necessity of purpose built VR hardware RIGHT at this moment...
No, I'm good I think. Had my fill of this IP.

It hasn't flopped in the slightest.
Everyone who bought and payed for founders editions is on.
It's pretty god damn flipping flawless.
Glad I helped start it up to be honest.
You can all enjoy it for free using your dear treasured dual shocks in a month or two. Really, I'd settle down and just read between the anti hype if I were you. It's all been a giant childish storm in a tea cup.

Paranoid nonsense.

@FullbringIchigo well then how about encouraging it instead of being such raging cynics.. good god

The acess is staggered release to avoid bottlenecking.
The service is exceptionally good and not remotely laggy.
Remote play is piped connection from YOUR PS4 on YOUR internet upload to wherever you are connecting.
The results are patchy at best. Even when im sitting on the sofa with an ipad infront of the TV.
The Stadia launch is slow, yes, but going well... we were told we would get invitations in order. Save for a small early mishap of their own admission we have been getting just that. Unsurprisingly the hordes of haters are on the case with extreme alacrity... what an entirely unsurprising turn of event.
When the next gen titles come rolling in and you cant find the £700 or more just to get a bundle deal to even get started... Perhaps a FREE membership, your old DS4 on a USB and some old laptop for a screen will suddenly seem terribly attractive...
You'll see a game, buy it, and play it. No further cost.
See you next year haters.

Mostly people want mysery and visora from The Last of Us (I assume... I'm going nowhere near it) so theyll love that I'm sure. FF7 remake will be adored by the fans. We've seen enough to know for sure... those who are very new or from 15 may be dissapointed as it's closer to the older system in some ways and will likely bore them with mini games and specific references they have no context for... I can't wait personally... and Cyberpunk... i have no idea. It looks impressive, disgustingly violent and not for me. I wish it was. It is not.

You're all gushing over new consoles while still competing on the current ones...
Yous kids is never happy unless yous fighin' over summit.
I'm getting Stadia in a month. You'll all have egg on your faces if streaming ends up being the preferable option to 1k in earnings down the pan next year.

A revamped streaming service, probably with a very strong incentive starting price, to get people invested in it. Prep for the 'other' PS5 that will, in fact, be streaming exclusive. It will be wildly affordable, compared to the high power version, and intended to be the actual device they all hope we choose.
Don't expect a fair price for this thing though. Despite being, effectively, a dumb vid streaming device it will be the only other system able to receive the service.
You can bet your butt there will be something to make you want to move off the PS4 too. PSVR2 probably... I'm being cinical, but I bet there's a good chunk of truth in it.

Personally Ive little fondness for even the cuter IPs of Sony’s.
Perhaps others take a different view. Sony seem to burn through one fad after another, so fast, that very few have lasting appeal when you look back at them. Even Crash Bandicoot and Spyro feel old, despite the new HD games being impressive works. Very little got me enthused enough to buy them.
Sure, they could lease them out, but I dont know that they do super well... especially coming out as second hand, alternative developer, efforts.

Far more excited for Granblue Relink

Dont be a plonker @Lando_ , Asia has mad records on PS4 in 2018 ... you’ve got your head about 5 years back ... and, even then, it was only popularity and opinion not an actual lack of quality.
Right now western, full price, game development is in the pits. Only a few bastions of good practice seem to remain. Asia is more popular than ever.

You kids make me laugh.
If it makes you feel better, right now, I’m saltier than several boxes of saxa salt sachets in a motorway service station.

Nintendo Direct mid January as always... I know when i’d prefer to have my game anounced for maximum impact.
Atlus members seem rather fond of Nintendo after all.
Keep jabbing honey.

I cannot wait for how quiet all these little boys will be when the Switch version is anounced a little later... have you forgotten all this lead up PR theyve been doing?
There is no exclusive, PC is confirmed... Get over yourselves dears.

Wait, i just played this on console and saw nothing.
Is it pc only/first?

Also, I do not understand the preference for P4.
Played both through and enjoyed each equally.

Re-something... But i highly doubt it’s remastered.
What on earth would be the point? It’s fine as is.
Most likely a Switch included version. You’ll all get it (just avoid entitled PS4 whiners) and, no doubt, Sony will undercut Nintendo in the digital store because they always bloody do.

Nothing but negativity yet everyone enjoys it... finding little issue with the game myself. More of the same (with some surprises) sounds excellent.

What if there wasn’t a name change ability on the way?
I strongly suspect this is Sony making a bad, cagey PR move.
They dare not show a freebie name change being given ahead of time since it’s going to be a charged ‘feature’ with a one time free option for all on ‘release’.
They are entirely capable of making a quick switch for the boy, now, and they should.

The extremities of where you are looking will always be blurred. All part of stretching a flat screen image to a spherical “surface”. But if its all a blur then, sure, something is wrong.

What on EARTH led to this from Moster Hunter..?
I honestly thought we’d, generationally, moved on by now. Who in movie production is old enough to still think that video games aren’t worthy of being faithfully done in a movie??

Id buy ‘em.
Some of the Loop hole themes arent entirely terrible, but many are.
It would be nice to get some worth while backgrounds that werent just charged advertising... you know?

@Marcus9490 if this is true, this makes me happy about the real state of FIFA ^_^

They made it TOO EXCLUSIVE.
Im all for hard content for hardcore players. But make exclusive, end game, enticing content but only for a tiny percentage... and watch your player base plummet when realisation dawns.
People are frustrated with the fact theyre doing the same mid level stuff and insulted it’s, apparently, due to “having no friends”.

Not remotely interested. I expect many will lap it up.
Gaming... its not the same... ill be surprised if its anything but exclusively rough, dark and competative by the time im old and grey.
Soften up, people, this is just keeping everyone salty and nasty.

@Flaming_Kaiser I found little to get enthusiastic about with RDR2.
Misserable, filthy, depressing. Your character’s a jerk... not for the do gooder gamer.

Competing with Redemption?
Perhaps im unique but that does not appeal to me remotely... this, however, has stolen my heart.

@PS_Nation very likely they will... the majority don’t follow sites or post opinions and play, largely mindless, titles designed for quick pick up and play or intense competition with a high skill ceiling.
The thinking gamer is, very sadly, in woeful minority... and Bethesda know it f course.
I guess times have got a bit tight and they decided to desicrate the most mass market approchable of the two IPs

Oh, how lovely. Now you can take stills of all that photo-real gore and brutality... so dissapointed. It could have been so much more approachable and fun. But no, had to go all violent, dark and nasty.
Yet another recent game i cant play because the tred is “Go nasty and hard to play or go home”

It sounds like a lot of people have nothing but complaints about the game anyway.
Theres so much more to enjoy in gaming, people, shop around.

Truly could not care less about Fortnite...lack off cross play has left me considerably out of pocket over the years with other games, though.
Its a marketing cudgel they dont want to admit to that we have no choice but to pay it if we wish to play together.
It bloody stinks and denial of its truth is pig headed and frankly blatant lying to be honest.

“Dull generic game for casuals”?
Guys, come on, whats the bloody point in making something hideously inaccessable. Make your own mad challenges if thats your deal and more power to you... but stop this thinking. Its silly.

@fuzzy833 the chance of finding enough players who want to be good people is going to be very much in the minority... this game sounds like Rust with Nukes... Just awful

@johncalmc EXACTLY

@hadlee73 oh, they understand... theyre hoping we dont. Sadly, many have no idea.

There’s a darker thing to all this.
They’re luring passive players in for fodder at their own expense and for further profit.
This specific message is trying to encourage potential “Out” fans of the game to give it a chance, while simultaneously waving a red rag at the trolls we all know are poised to turn this game into more of a wasteland than it should be.
Dont fall for it. If youre worried youll get harrased, dont think this will change that one jot... there’s plenty elsewhere to enjoy. Let them see this is a mistake and save your money.
Gaming is in an oddly dark period right now. A lot of talk flies around for pro PvP, zero tutorial open sandboxes and steap lurning curves.
Dares and double dares of increasing stakes.
The industry is just trying to ride this out. Provide what people demand and keep them on side while still turning a profit.
I think they know full well this isnt going to work, but if enough buy it anyway...

How does a publisher encourage A change in the games hardware market?
This all sounds like hot desperation from a dying company.
They cant afford to create machines with clowt, but they COULD make dumb boxes and stream their own tosh down a clogged pipe to witless fools crazy enough to buy them.
And THEN theyed have permanent customers!
Genius!
Rather than reform and provide great games and a good service... True to past behaviour EA continue to look for a quick, easy option.

Looks nice. Cant afford 10s of £s for pretty boxes though.
Games need an internet connection and patches to run these days anyway. Really no point in having the insecurity of physicality being your only proof of ownership.
Get it as a collectors piece, sure, but physical, today, as your main form of purchase is just a bit silly and stubborn.

More lag...
Because, if they don’t, most will be content with a huge catalogue of PS4 games well into PS5’s release.
They can’t have that! They want a big hit of purchases on day one. They NEED us all to be sick and tired of “sluggish” PS4s.
I do hope they rectify it a short while after PS5 because I love my PS4 and have to do the updates if I want to keep playing online.

I’d like to see how good you can be.
Being bad is sooooooooooooooOooooOoooOOOOOO predictable.
Let’s see can we have a positive twist in such a messed up place.

@Knuckles-Fajita it was never intended to come out. From are deep in Sony back pocket. It was a massive dissapointment generator. Evil trick.

I think we’re seeing how varied gaming is and comparison of merit is, frequently, a little redundant.
Comparing Nintendo’s staple products to Sony’s is, for the most part, a little like comparing Nickelodeon to Netflix ... completely different tastes and directions but equally worth large amounts of praise all round.

Giants only hear the loudest voices...
At least CD Projekt are making something I can enjoy on my own without fear of hurray henry’s antagonising me on a regular basis.

They just said the right things at the right time and Microsoft... well... their marketing and range of games were what your parents thought you wanted... you know?
A lot of what i see today still seems to be laced with that “too old to be working in games” feel... like all the decissions are made by a comitee of Gates’ old colleagues XD

Why are you all so keen to throw your money away on a tiny incremental improvememt?... the PS4 is blindingly good, a Pro a wee bit better.
We dont NEED a PS5 and need the expense even less.
Stop this!

Comes out on switch, first thing they do is update the PS4 version... fml
I have a pro, this is nothing about loyalty, but i love my Switch and would love to see continued support and all sorts of titles for it.
This kind of crappy strategic behaviour does nothing to help its chances.
Nint : “Crash B. Finally on Switch at slightly reduced fidelity but mobile”
Sony : “Aw yeah biatch?... HDR and an extra level... eat it”
Its not a big hitter, quit the bullying eh?

@Gamer83 if they did that it would simply be a PS4 game locked to a PS5 for play.... why? Why would you want that?... its intended for current gen, so even if they do lock it to PS5 we wont see much improvement... just expense... more expense.

@kyleforrester87 people will forgive anything if it pushes the right buttons... gratuitous, bloody violence and kinky sexual tastes?.. well, we know the baseline of humanities inclines now i guess.

Yet you all think PS5 is round the corner... ay ay ay
