I ask this question every time there's news about Final Fantasy XV, but I'll try again: Are Square Enix finished with the PS4 Pro patch? What are the graphics options for PS4 Pro owners?
It would surprise me if Overcooked was a "free" game, since it's about to launch on the Switch. But I believe it will be a game in the same mold/category as Overcooked.
@TimeforTravel Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to a sequel to BG&E. The trailer, however, showed only cut scenes, no gameplay. Therefor I would learn more about a indie game that's part of a one minute video collage, than I have currentlt learned about BG&E2.
@get2sammyb Off the top of my head, Ubisoft's reveal of Beyond Good and Evil 2 (at E3) and Activision's boots to the ground reveal of Call of Duty: WWII (own show).
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Yeah, the E3 reveal was not that good, but it made me interested enough to search for more gameplay footage, and what I found seemed fun.
@SoulsBourne128 Yeah, Rare - Microsoft Edition, has a shady track record, and it wouldn't surprise me if Sea of Thieves turns out mediocre. If, however, it turns out to be good, I might actually be tempted to consider looking up prices for Microsoft's console...
Competition is always good for the consumers. I own a PS4 and a Switch, and though I doubt I'll ever dabble into Microsoft land, I'm hoping the XOX won't bomb.
Days Gone for me. Did not care for the game before the show, but now I'm curious to see how it turns out. Spider-Man was my most anticipated game before the show, but now I'm just hoping it won't bomb...
They should (and will, of course) add the regular suit. While I don't hate the suit in the game, I've never understood why games and movies have to change things like this from the source material.
While I prefer PSX and hope it will be their main focus, I believe E3 still is more important. If Microsoft put on the best show ever at E3 (they didn't), and Sony no-shows, the momentum may change.
Re: Nintendo. As others have pointed out, there was more to Nintendo's presentation than the Metroid Prime 4 logo, but I don't think the article was dismissive of Nintendo's presentation in general, just pointing out that many have claimed this.
Personally, I think Nintendo had the best show, balancing between coming right now, coming before christmas and "we only have a logo / an announcement". Super Mario Odyssey looks to be a system seller (did someone say the second coming of Super Mario 64), Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looks fantastic (and still on for Holiday 2017, even though the entire internet "knew" it would be delayed), heck, even the Mario-Rabbids crossover looked good! And even though everyone knew it would come eventually, confirmation that a mainline Pokemon game will come to the Switch is great news. Kirby and Yoshi are always solid games.
Then there was the Metroid Prime 4 announcement (Ubisoft should have gone this route with BG&E2), and the remake of Metroid 2 (which looked great).
Nintendo has held back the last few years, but this year they knocked it out of the park, in my opinion.
Personally, I think Sony put on a solid show, but it was let down by previous shows in two regards: First, by setting the bar very high. And second, by having announced games already, that they might as well have announced this year instead (since there appearantly was nothing new to report on these games).
It's hard to find the right balance. Sometimes you have to "win" one year to keep the momentum up, even if that sabotages next years show.
If you make a list of the 10 most exciting games coming to PS4, how many was revealed this year, and how many did we learn more about this year? (Now, there's a challenge for you.)
@get2sammyb I'm not sure, but I believe the times in your iCal is off for Bethesda and Devolver Digital. In my calendar, these happened 12+ hours ago...
I don't need an "elite" controller in the sense that Microsoft use the term. I would, however, like one in the way Nintendo use the term "pro", i.e. more comfortable and improved battery over the standard controller.
Personally, I hope Monster Hunter remains a Nintendo exclusive. The way I see it, it's good for gamers as a whole that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo continue to produce their own consoles, and Monster Hunter is one of the main reasons that Nintendo can keep producing consoles.

@Goob Hmm, that doesn't sound good.
Re: Final Fantasy XV Goes Off-Road with 8.65GB Patch
@vitalemrecords With options like those, no wonder you're the first one to give me an answer😂

Re: Feature: The Five Best PS4 Games at E3 2017
@Ralizah Yeah, the first few minutes of the trailer looked great.
Re: Feature: The Five Best PS4 Games at E3 2017
Days Gone and God of War for me. I was really disappointed by the QTE-fest that was Spider-Man, but I'm hopeful it can still turn out good.
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Drops the Soap on 27th June
Only $25.00 more than I'm willing to pay.
Re: NA PlayStation Store Flash Sale Assaults Your Wallet Once More
Wow, PSOne deals. Hope this comes to Europe.
Re: Cities: Skylines Paves Foundations on PS4 from 15th August
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I haven't tried it myself, but its Xbox counterpart has gotten solid, if unspectacular, reviews: http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-one/cities-skylines---xbox-one-edition/critic-reviews
Hopefully, the developers have learned from the criticism, making the PS4 version even better.
Re: God of War Will Never Cut to a Different Camera on PS4
While I'm sure this isn't the first game to this, I guess it's the first of this scale, so this sounds amazing.
Re: Cities: Skylines Paves Foundations on PS4 from 15th August
That's good news. While I guess it will review the same as the Xbox version, I'm hoping it will be a little bit better, so as to justify a purchase.
Re: Huge Savings for PlayStation Plus Members on EU PS Store
Did anyone try Jotun: Valhalla Edition?
Re: Huge Savings for PlayStation Plus Members on EU PS Store
@kyleforrester87 Yeah, browsing on the PS4 itself is not good, but if you use iPad (like me), you actually have a wish list.
Re: Huge Savings for PlayStation Plus Members on EU PS Store
I have a shortlist of 10-15 PSN games I'm going to pick up when discounted. Unfortunately, none of them was discounted this time around.

How about those 3 minutes trailers of nothing but cut scenes? Talk about meaningless...
Re: Ubisoft Pirate Game Skull & Bones Has Both PvE and PvP Modes

Re: Ubisoft Pirate Game Skull & Bones Has Both PvE and PvP Modes
For me, the Xbox One exclusive Sea of Thieves looks much more fun, but hope this turns out well.
Re: Detroit: Become Human Will Usher a Robot Revolution in 2018
@starhops Hope you're right. Nothing's worse than buying a game on release day, only to discover it won't be finished until patch 10, 8 months later.

What are the video options available at the moment? Are Square finished with the PS4 Pro patches?
Re: E3 2017: Spider-Man Will Have Alternate Outfits on PS4
They should (and will, of course) add the regular suit. While I don't hate the suit in the game, I've never understood why games and movies have to change things like this from the source material.
Re: E3 2017: Days Gone Is a Deadly, Dynamic Open World Game
I hope this turns out well! It looks promising so far.
Re: E3 2017: Spider-Man PS4's Open World Map Sounds Pretty Bloody Big
Bloody good.
Re: Talking Point: Is PSX Now More Important to Sony Than E3?
While I prefer PSX and hope it will be their main focus, I believe E3 still is more important. If Microsoft put on the best show ever at E3 (they didn't), and Sony no-shows, the momentum may change.

Release the original as a PS2 classic while we wait, will you?

Re: Feature: June 2017 - The Return of 3 Iconic PSone Properties on PS4
@ShogunRok That's too bad.
Re: Feature: June 2017 - The Return of 3 Iconic PSone Properties on PS4
They should release Tekken 3 on PSN as a PSOne Classic.
Re: Is Monster Hunter Finally Coming to the PS4?
