I wish they could get rid of that cord. I love PSVR but the Quest 2 is a game changer. I’ll never go back to PSVR for anything like Beat Saber where I’m going to get tangled up in cords. Hopefully PSVR2 has lots of bigger games and exclusives to make the difference noticeable.
Primarily I’m just so excited that VR continues to get support like this. It’s just going to keep getting better and better, and there’s no doubt I’m going to buy it to support it. But I really wanna get rid of that wire.
I bet Sammy is right, they probably had a room for each game in the original plan. They spent a lot of money on a clever idea with no regards to whether it was a good one. It's like Nintendo calling their console the Wii U, "you know, like We You. Get it?" Yeah, I get it, it's a bad idea. The beginning was very unprofessional and casual and non-hype enducing. Limiting the number of their announcements was a TERRIBLE idea. There are a million indies. Pick the best looking 10 of those.
I voted really poor. Shu's tweet of "!?" Says it all to me. Everything from the quality of the microphone and the casual opening talk to the attendees to the unfortunately slightly awkward solo musical performances. I don't care if they warned us it would only be a close look at 4 games. It was a terrible idea. Demos that stretch on for too long are the worst part of e3. Rapid fire exposure to as many games as possible including indies and surprises is where it's at.
Very boring. The year they got it right was the year they showed lots of indies and announced PS4 would use physical games sticking it to Microsoft with a mic drop announcement.
This was honestly terrible and not what I want out of the event at all. I want a variety of games and actual announcements. It's a good opportunity to surprise ps+ subscribers with a little surprise and a whole lot more "available now". They should have devoted time to Undertale and Ni No Kuni 2. Same boring game over and over is right.
I am completely open to the mundane in VR. My most impressive moments are the mundane by design job simulator and the beginning of batman just picking up a postcard and putting a phone to my ear.
Job simulator and batman are so immersive it's crazy. I love picking things up and walking around a little. The potential is so great. And watching Allumette has me beyond excited for the future of movies.
@JaxonH That's an interesting point. I sincerely hope it succeeds because it is amazing. It is only talking about launch though. Hundreds of thousands is pretty good for launch isn't it? Hopefully the hype and scarcity makes sales continue to go up. I'll certainly be buying as many good experiences as I can to support the devs.
I had an incredible first night with it. Batman is certainly the best thing I bought for showing off the technology's potential. But holy smokes I LOVED watching Allumette. The head tracking and leaning in to get get a closer look is just amazing. I can't wait to watch more movies this way I am blown away.
Those big budget games don't excite me. I watch the trailers thinking that's beautiful but know I'll probably never play them. The scary stuff for VR, that was awesome. Last year had the amazing FF7 announcement, so for me this year was missing something like that. Nintendo has a chance to pull it off tomorrow by saying Mother 3 available now.
Pacing fantastic except for the strange anti-climactic "now we're going to end with a game we've already shown you." Content meh. Uncharted/last of us/tomb raider style games a-plenty. I missed the indie love. And my investment in VR is what I want to know more about.
I would much rather have all summer long to play with a smaller launch line up. And I'll buy the games as they release. I don't need to be convinced to buy it I just want it sooner.
I am also probably waiting on a price drop. Hopefully there isn't something I'm missing out on as an early adopter like the cool mp surprise in Journey.
Streaming PS4 works well for me, but a wired connection is a must. $20 is a steal now even if it's just to experiment with a new toy and try your vita games on the big tv, but if you plug it into a wired connection then you get your ps4 games on new tv too. Great deal.
I will buy one no matter what, and I will use it in theater mode if they stop making games specifically designed for it.
I'm nervous about the "success" of it though, because the numbers studios expect for "success" are humongous. If you want games made for it, this is in essence a new console, and games won't be made for it unless it sells successful console numbers. Even the Wii U wasn't successful enough for big developers to make games for it. So this peripheral that will cost as much as a console has to sell more than the Wii U. Right?
Thanks, Sammy. Like I said before I'm definitely getting it as long as it wasn't broken or something. I love scary movies like this so I was pretty confident I would love it as long as it ran correctly. Preordered 1 day in advance!
@dodoo agreed. I could care less that they want me to buy their own cards in theory. But the price is absolutely obscene, even as the Vita fails they leave the ridiculous prices.
I really want Armello to win. Not only does it look like the most fun and obviously the most replay potential, but it also looks like it is the game that depends most vitally on being a free playstation plus game for its success. If one of the other games doesn't win I can buy it and play it. But a board game obviously needs other players and I can't buy the game for other people.
I will own it eventually. Not at full price though. Like others have mentioned it's going to have been deeply discounted already on other platforms. I feel bad even thinking this because I don't want Tomb Raider to fail, but hopefully they lose money on the deal and steer clear of such decisions in the future.
I understand exclusives made by 1st party developers, obviously, and I understand exclusives because the dev is indie and can't afford to publish on multiple consoles, and I understand exclusives that are developed for something with a gimmick like the Wii U. All other reasons for exclusive anything need to go away.
this is the type of company and game I feel compelled to pay full price for. We've really been enjoying this for co-op. you're right that combat feels lacking so far though.
in the crazy world of AAA games dropping to $20 in less than a year I find it hard to preorder anything anymore. the only reason I ever did it was to guarantee a copy
What in the world does that last line even mean? They're open to working with Kojima and del Toro on a different Silent Hill title? What?! Just make this one. That is pure nonsense.
