This sends a somewhat troubling message to core gamers like us, I think. The general casual gamer will not even know this happened, but for the informed, it looks strange that just a few weeks after moving into a bigger location and with not that many 1st party games announced, Sony decides to fire a part of Sony SM.
@get2sammyb @k_andersen Which Lamborgenius came up with all those puns?! Stop, this really Benz my mind!
@ScribeThePen Ayup, this seems to be the case...but then, this was always gonna be the downside of DLC/full digital releases...when the host of the servers (Sony or MS) decides to pull content off the net, you're basically out of luck if you still haven't got a local backup somewhere.
It's smart, indeed and it smacks a little of desperation, but I agree that Sony should just sit this one out.
Dropping the price too early might alienate some early adopters and, obviously, the PS4 is still constantly sold out, so there's really no need for a price cut...also, inFamous launches in March and will surely shift some decent numbers additionally, so...
Nonetheless, Sony has to stay sharp and up to its game...it's obvious that MS is willing to fight, which is good, because it hopefully prevents Sony to fall back to its former arrogance.
@WCamicase They did a half-hearted rip off of PS+ last year, I think. I'm a little out of the loop, but for some month, they offered really old, 4-5 year old games for Xbox Live Gold subscribers and some better ones after they got burned for offering such old games.
I think I read that MS plans to continue this on the X1 and 360 eventually, but the offer Sony has with PS+ blows Xbox Live out of the water.
@charlesnarles @LDXD @TosserHan Aw man, I can only imagine how it is with family this religious. Mine isn't religious at all, so... But good to see that you guys seem to be cool about it, mostly.
@Gingo Nope, it is just plain wrong. But that's okay...I kinda enjoy cheesy (wrong) German one.liners in American games and movies...although there're even some who nail it with correct German. Inglorious Basterds comes to mind, but then, the Germans in the movie were either genuine Germans or from Austria (Christoph Waltz). But it was perfect...even the vocabulary used was from the 30s and 40s. I think Tom Tykwer helped with the German parts, the director of "Run, Lola, run!".
@charlesnarles Movies and books are classified as art, thus are allowed to depict those symbols...freedom of art and such. Games, however, are still classified as toys, as in "toys for kids", and toys are forbidden to display anything like Nazi symbols.
I even agree that toys shouldn't contain swastikas and such...but to (still) classify games as toys and not art is a little outdated, me thinks...but well, that's the way it is here...
And yes, the game looks absolutely crazy, over the top fun! Can't wait! I'm sure it'll be a blast!
"Eine kleine Amerikaner!" <--- Robo-Hitler-quote from the first Wolfenstein...of course in wrong German. It should say "Ein kleiner Amerikaner!", for anyone interested.
This looks awesome! I like the setting and the overall over the top-attitude of the game...like a cheesy 60s Sci Fi movie...and the trailer is hilarious!
Must import this game, though...it's not allowed in Germany for games to have Nazi symbols of swastikas, because they're classified as toys by law.
@k_andersen Oh, I know the fan-crave, sir! Stay strong, brotha! There's gonna be even better limited editions in the future!
Must admit the closer Ground Zeroes creeps, the more excited I get about the game. I adored MGS1 and 2 on PS1 and 2 but sadly never got around to play the games after those...quite eager to dip into the series again, but my original plan was to wait until there's a complete version of MGS5 released, Ground Zeroes, Phantom Pain and possible DLC all in one.
I hope the fact that inFamous releases but a few days later will help me to stay strong...but on the other hand...March 18th is my birthday, so... *twitch
@get2sammyb It does look a little bit like somebody just slapped a sticker on it, doesn't it? I'm sure Sony could (and will) do better...probably when the 2nd part of MGS5 launches. Nonetheless, this will surely move some units, agreed.
Not that the PS4 would need any help these days to fly of the shelf...
@get2sammyb It would seem so indeed. Guess the X1 will catch up a little eventually, but the slower GPU is a fact. With all examples of multiplat games up until now, I think we can safely assume that future multiplat games on PS4 will run smoother or at least equally good than on the X1...
Curious about the flame wars after this. Maybe I'll head over to IGN this evening to amuse myself.
@KALofKRYPTON @Deadstanley @get2sammyb The migration thing seems to work better now after the patches...it still takes a few moments to migrate the host, but after it's complete, you are put back to exactly where you've been, with Speedpoints and everything.
@RyoHazuki Never said that they were the only decent one, just agreed they were one of the best. The ones you named are awesome as well...and Foo Fighters is Dave Grohls present band, so...
@Fire-and-Water Indeed they are...so are the 60s, 70s and 80s...but that doesn't mean I can't still enjoy the music from back then.
@charlesnarles Agreed. They had an unbelievable energy and creativity. Most songs use the same chords, but it's how they're used. Still love their music until this day.
Besides, Dave Grohl is still an absolute animal of a drummer, as he was back then, and seems to be an all-around awesome guy. Not that he isn't also a very good guitar player...bloody multi-talented man!
@Gamer83 Indeed...around a 100,- bucks is also my sweet spot for a good Collectors Edition. I payed that for Aliens Colonial Marines (yeah, I know *sob). Still like the SE, though...the paperwork included and of course the power loader figurine are awesome...sadly, the game is not.
I also like that nowadays you usually get a bunch of DLC when you pre-order. It kinda softens the blow to have to pay full price for a game on launch. I mean when you just can't wait till the price drops because you absolutely have to have the game NOW.
Oh, and about not buying another SE of the PS4 when MGS launches? Let me remind you of that when the time comes.
Yay! I love Resogun and heard good things about Dead Nation. Also, I'm a sucker for twin stick shooters and zombies, so I hope this is true.
Even better: Dead nation is available in Germany as well (I live here). Sadly it happens quite often that gory games get cut here or not released at all, but since DN is available on the German PSN store, I hope we will get this rumored PS4 port as well. I would even pay for it. ^^
@Gemuarto me a GTA zombie because I suggested that there might still be a huge number of persons out there who'd appreciate a next gen/PC port of GTA V? FYI, I enjoyed GTA IV a lot, but never finished it, because I found the missions and gameplay later in the game too boring and/or too hard. So I was happy with just "hanging out in Liberty City", meaning visiting the comedy club or taking a cab ride, listening to music and soaking in the scenery.
I have never shared the insta-hype surrounding the GTA games. They're great games, but have serious flaws in gameplay that barely get addressed in the media "because it's GTA, thus it's awesome and perfect!11!!1".
I'm sure I would also enjoy GTA V, even if I wouldn't maybe finish it. But a GTA zombie/fanboy? Surely not.
So please try not to generalize just because you don't like a game anymore...and try not to call people zombies just because they have a valid, different opinion than yours.
@Gamer83 Agreed, I was more thinking about a special edition of the game itself. For Phantom Pain and/or the complete package of MGS V I think a special edition PS4 is definitely coming...as you said, the PS3 got a similar treatment.
Have to admit I'm a sucker for (good) special editions...I caved in and bought the Halo 3 Xbox 360 back then and tend to buy the collectors edition of a game if it has some nice goodies and some decent DLC thrown in for good measure.
I would absolutely not be surprised if there would be a special edition of the game and a specially branded console to go with it...if not in March, then latest when the other, meatier part of MGS V launches.
In fact, I could very well see Konami releasing a special edition of Ground Zeroes, release a special edition of Phantom Pain...and then release the two games together a little bit later, in another special-special edition (tag line: "This time it's really special...we mean it!").
@get2sammyb Thanks for the recommendation, but I there's so much coming out on PS4 I'll want to buy eventually, that I have to keep an eye on my gaming budget. I did love the trailers to the games, though...background music was by Puscifer, which incidentally is also connected to my avatar-pic.
Will keep a keen eye out for this new one, though.
Also, I find it kinda hard to go back to last gen when I'm now used to "Oooh, shiny!".
And yes, I know graphics isn't everything...still...
Haven't have an opportunity to play any of the High Moon games, but they seem to be awesome, so moar Transformers on the PS4 with the possibility of huge Transformers thanks to the PS4s grunt? Yes, please!
But seriously, if they'd manage to release it in 2015 at least, the year would match the number in the title quite nicely.
Luckily, the last FF I really cared about was 7, so I'm good with waiting for 15...might even get it if it's any good...and finally released, of course.
@Gemuarto I beg to differ, sir! I am quite interested in GTA V. Didn't buy it at release because I wanted to safe the money for the PS4 and I'm sure I'm not the only one out there. There's surely lots of people out there who wait for a PC/next gen release of GTA and of course those who are willing to double dip and buy it twice.
Just because you have no interest anymore in the game doesn't mean nobody else has.
Beautiful design! Love the steampunk look so far! And I would totally buy a combo rifle replica to put on the wall. If I wouldn't have a wife. And have a man cave with enough space to actually hang up stuff.
I would love to see cranked up re-releases of select PS3 games on the PS4!
I can understand the fear that this could increase development time on the PS4 titles the respective studios are working on, but I think it's not justified, because, as has been mentioned, the porting can be outsourced with the original creator of the game only supervising.
To all those saying "If you wanted to play TloU/[enter preferred game here] you should've gotten a PS3 in the first place" I can only say that I was simply just able to afford one system during last/old gen. It's cool if you guys had all the gaming systems you desired at home, but I had to chose and went with the 360 and had an absolute blast most of the time.
Now I chose to rejoin the PlayStation family for obvious reasons and would love to play some PS3 gems I missed out. And I would prefer them like TR - DE, because I didn't buy it for my 360 back then to safe money for the PS4, so this was perfect for me. Also, I'd rather have the games run locally on my system at home than stream then. I have fast internet, but I'm very skeptical that, lag-wise, streaming gameplay can compete with a local game running at 60fps full HD.
Excellent. I hate this apparent "every game has to have a mp, even if it kills us and the gamers"-trend.
There's some games in which I enjoy to play online, but at the end of the day, I'll take a good and cinematic single player campaign over a tacked on multiplayer anytime.
And, as @GooRoo said, this luckily also means no mp-trophies, which are a thing I like even less than a bad/generic multiplayer.
I'm super happy with my PS4 and it actually surpassed my expectations. Everything is so slick and smooth, even now already, and I'm sure we'll see lots of optimization of the UI (including sorting functionality for content and such) somewhere down the line.
I know the games don't make the machine truly shine yet, but it's a glimpse of what to come. Killzone and TR look beautiful and the higher native res really shows. Also, colors seem to be much more vibrant than on PS3 or the 360.
This is wonderful! I only played the extensive demo of Tropico 3 on the 360 back then and sadly never got around to actually buy the game, but this is right up my alley! The humor was nice and the game solid, so bring it on!
I especially like that you can play across various eras.
@KALofKRYPTON I never played the tabletop games, sadly...I got hooked on the 40k universe on the novels alone...fun read.
But I agree...jus' give us moar Warhammer...the spiced up hardware of the PS4 could really make the enormous, gothic architecture shine! Hope we'll get something.
Pitty, I love Gears 1 and 2...Gears one was my first real "holy crap, this is next gen"-game. Not only the graphics which blew everything else out of the water, but mostly the fantastic co-op experience the game offered. Completing the whole game together with my buddy was an awesome, very enjoyable thing I didn't experience on any system before.
I would've loved to see the series on PS4, but I'll most probably buy an X1 anyway in a few years, because I want to play Halo, so...
And as has been stated here, it's not like Sony hasn't have enough kick-ass franchises of their own.
Oh my gawd, this looks absolutely amazing...and it does look better and better every time they show the game. So can't wait for March 21st.
@BornOfEvil I don't mind that. There's plenty of games out there with good multiplayer already and I think not every game needs one. I'll be perfectly happy with inFamous just being an awesome single player experience.
Yes, I would be very interested in a re-release of TloU, because I haven't played it on PS3 yet and a friend of mine who's very cautious with superlatives was practically foaming at the mouth with excitement when he told me about it...not to speak of practically the whole rest of the gaming community.
About Uncharted: the sooner, the better, but in this case, I'd rather have Naughty Dog take all the time they want and then release a product that's polished to the max.
Regardless, there's enough killer games to keep me happy in 2014.

Re: Hands On: Traversing the Trenches of PS4 Shooter Wolfenstein: The New Order

Re: PS4's First Branded Hardware Bundle Is a Bit Foxy
Normally, I'm a sucker for limited editions, be it games or consoles, but I find thins one slightly underwhelming, sadly.
Or rather: not sad, because now I don't have to keep myself from buying a 2nd PS4 just because it's limited.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't quickly cave in and do so the moment a limited PS4 I like would be released.
And I'd guess it'll come to Europe as well...Metal Gear is big enough here that it would make sense...wasn't the Metal Gear PS3 released here as well?

Re: Blast from the Past: This Time One Year Ago, Sony Promised to Give Us a Glimpse of the Future
I'm super happy with my PS4 and it actually surpassed my expectations. Everything is so slick and smooth, even now already, and I'm sure we'll see lots of optimization of the UI (including sorting functionality for content and such) somewhere down the line.
I know the games don't make the machine truly shine yet, but it's a glimpse of what to come. Killzone and TR look beautiful and the higher native res really shows. Also, colors seem to be much more vibrant than on PS3 or the 360.
*phew, sorry.

Re: Tropico 5 Laying Foundations on the PlayStation 4
This is wonderful! I only played the extensive demo of Tropico 3 on the 360 back then and sadly never got around to actually buy the game, but this is right up my alley! The humor was nice and the game solid, so bring it on!
I especially like that you can play across various eras.
Re: Microsoft Just Made Sure You Won't Be Playing Gears of War on PS4
@KALofKRYPTON I never played the tabletop games, sadly...I got hooked on the 40k universe on the novels alone...fun read.
But I agree...jus' give us moar Warhammer...the spiced up hardware of the PS4 could really make the enormous, gothic architecture shine! Hope we'll get something.
Re: Microsoft Just Made Sure You Won't Be Playing Gears of War on PS4
@KALofKRYPTON Oh yes, bring it on! I quite enjoyed Space Marine and I love the 40k universe...just reading through the Horus Heresy series.
The Emperor protects!
Re: Microsoft Just Made Sure You Won't Be Playing Gears of War on PS4
Pitty, I love Gears 1 and 2...Gears one was my first real "holy crap, this is next gen"-game. Not only the graphics which blew everything else out of the water, but mostly the fantastic co-op experience the game offered. Completing the whole game together with my buddy was an awesome, very enjoyable thing I didn't experience on any system before.
I would've loved to see the series on PS4, but I'll most probably buy an X1 anyway in a few years, because I want to play Halo, so...
And as has been stated here, it's not like Sony hasn't have enough kick-ass franchises of their own.
Re: Sony Rains Down Slick Footage of PS4 Title inFAMOUS: Second Son
Oh my gawd, this looks absolutely amazing...and it does look better and better every time they show the game. So can't wait for March 21st.
@BornOfEvil I don't mind that. There's plenty of games out there with good multiplayer already and I think not every game needs one. I'll be perfectly happy with inFamous just being an awesome single player experience.
Re: This Site Will Add Dozens of Free PS4 Games to Your Library
Awesome idea! Not the AAA-blockbusters one would crave for the PS4, but the idea is sweet! Gonna check this out.
Re: Lara Croft Endures PS4 Title Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition's Launch Trailer
You lucky ones!
Gamestop in Berlin still doesn't have it...or at least don't admit/sell it. But then, the game releases a few days later here, so...
Anyways, just a few days more to wait...quite exited for it, because I didn't play it yet.
Re: Wait, Uncharted PS4 May Still Be Releasing This Year?
Yes, I would be very interested in a re-release of TloU, because I haven't played it on PS3 yet and a friend of mine who's very cautious with superlatives was practically foaming at the mouth with excitement when he told me about it...not to speak of practically the whole rest of the gaming community.
About Uncharted: the sooner, the better, but in this case, I'd rather have Naughty Dog take all the time they want and then release a product that's polished to the max.
Regardless, there's enough killer games to keep me happy in 2014.
