Honest question: what is the point of having 120FPS? I thought the human eye can only track up to 60FPS.

It's been literal years since I last bought a full price game. I don't care how high they price retail games next gen, I know all I have to do is wait six months and they'll all be on sale for less than $30.

@darkswabber Lol, all the more reason to not take this at face value. Personally, I don't much care, as I'm not interested in buying skins for any game, but I really disagree with the principle of lying to your consumers for brownie points.

I don't like the sounds of that, but I'll reserve judgment until we see what they mean. I hope it isn't too dumbed down tho; kids are smarter than a lot of adults give them credit for.

Let's not forget also that the devs of CTR straight up said before launch that game would not have microtransactions. This may be a separate case, but forgive me for being wary of Activision's greed.

He's definitely right about hardware advantages, but those advantages do them no good if they don't have a lineup of games worth playing. From a software standpoint, Microsoft didn't even show up this last gen compared to Sony churning out the high quality exclusives one after another. I'm hoping that their recent run of studio acquisitions leads to a surge on this front, but I have to admit that my expectations for Microsoft are quite low considering their last few years.

@rjejr That's a good point. Avengers is only relevant in modern pop culture because of the film series, and though the MCU isn't stopping anytime soon, it's safe to say the Avengers team as we've known it is over.

I think the most worrying thing about this game is the fact that very few seem to care about it. The last Avengers film is literally the highest grossing movie ever, yet the excitement around a game based on that same IP is almost non-existent. Something just doesn't add up here.

Is no one else concerned that so little is known about this game? We're less than three months away from having it, and all we have to go off of is that mediocre E3 footage from last year. I dunno, I just get the feeling that this is gonna be massively disappointing.

All I can see

Buying a PS5 just for this, I love this franchise

I would nominate Rayman Legends for this list. You have to play the daily missions and score reasonably high on the global leaderboards for something like three or four months to unlock a trophy, and the (unpatched) game has a glitch where sometimes people go through all that only to get NOTHING at the end. I got my platinum, but good Lord I'm never touching that game again.

I'd say the idea of generations is one of the main features that separates consoles from PC. When you buy a console, you do so with the understanding that basically all games released for that platform (even if there's a 'pro' variant a few years later) will run on that launch console until it reaches the end of life. Then, when the company announces the next gen, you buy the new one with the same expectation.

This in mind, I don't really get what Xbox is going for here. What's the point of investing millions into R&D on a shiny new box, if you don't intend on using any of its distinct advantages in a meaningful way? I'm not interested in a Series X, but even if I were, what would be the point of me buying one in November when I could buy a One for cheaper and play the exact same games, just at lower performance?

Yeah, graphics and performance are lovely, but I'm more interested in the hardware allowing for more ambitious and better designed games than prettier ones. Same reason I never bought a PS4 Pro; the upgrades are notable, but not enough for me to shell out another few hundred bucks to play the same games I already can.

Meh, wake me up when they actually announce something. At this point, a lot of my excitement for next gen has vanished because there hasn't been anything to really justify excitement. Xbox has been rather underwhelming so far and Sony only offers up vague teases.

Calling it now. In 20 years, they're gonna make one with the approximate surface area of the actual earth.

That is hilariously bad! 😂 What is Sony thinking?

I'd love for this to be true, but I think it's too good. I'd believe dying light going up, but DSR is probably still selling great. Seems to me the games they put up are usually those that have had their sales drop off considerably.

I'm as excited for PS5 as the next guy, but seeing headlines like this just reminds me how badly Sony needs to get on with showing off the console and software. You know things are pretty dry when we're excitedly talking about heat sinks 😂

@get2sammyb By getting loot boxes, you'll potentially unlock more episodes so you can continue the story!

I'd say it comes down to a lack of killer apps, like Zelda and Mario, and the size of the Vita's screen. That last one might sound petty, but think about it. Would you really want to play full size games on that tiny screen? It's the main reason I stopped using remote play.

@jmbenetti I didn't notice any performance dips, and the draw distance is great. The only issue is the slippery controls.

@RedMageLanakyn Ha, you're gonna have a bad time here then! There's so much to collect.

Well, I'm glad they didn't go down for anything. I think it's punishment enough that they've torpedoed any chance of selling something like this again. It doesn't matter what they do at this point, they will never have that trust back.

For me, it's the sales that are doing it. With a few notable exceptions, I no longer buy games on day one for full price. If I wait a few months, not only does the price come down, but the game gets patched and runs better. Couple this with the fact that I can scoop up hundreds of dollars of games for a fraction of the price if I just wait for certain ones to go on sale, and I think we have a clear reason for this trend. I have more than enough games to occupy my time right now, and by the time I'm through with those, the current crop of games will all be cheaper/better. Why buy them now?

Can they not just have cross buy and then have a "premium" unlock for a few extra bucks that'd add all the new features? I feel like that'd be the best way to split the difference.

@johnny30 That wasn't part of the demo. I think that part's gonna be an hour long CGI movie or something.

@SonuvLiberty Wasn't it already? I'd totally forgoten about that!

I seriously hope this is true now, just to see the overwhelming reaction to it.

"PS4 discs don't support multiple games"

I think the remaster looks worse. The extra colors are fine, but it looks like they've stripped away a lot of the lighting and texture details. Unless it's super cheap, I'll be passing on this.

While I'm sad KH3 is still a while off, I'm looking forward to that 2.8 remix this year. 3 will be worth the 10+ year wait...right?

I'd like to see some PS Now integration. Either include the service somehow or offer it at a discounted rate. I know that would tempt me into it.

Never understood the hate for this, I thought it was a 6 at absolute worst. Sure, it wasn't the greatest TPS I've played, but I definitely wasn't disappointed by it.

@readyletsgo I'm not entirely sure. My understanding is that there wasn't enough interest, and it ultimately wasn't worth the time investment required. That being said, I'd be interested in giving it a go if there was demand.

@readyletsgo We did one for a while before it just kinda died out. Would that be something you'd be interested in seeing come back?

Never understood all the hate for RE 6, I thought it was a pretty well done game. I picked it up a few years back to see just how bad it could be, and was surprised. It's definitely not my favorite survival horror or anything, but I'm glad I played it. What do people not like?

I'll be keeping an eye on this one, I hope they have a good training mode. I tried getting into IV, but couldn't figure out combos for the life of me.

This is hilariously bad, Inafune literally promised that there wouldn't be another delay.

I get the feeling that there's more than just "network issues" holding this up, because honestly, who would buy this for its multiplayer? I don't see why they couldn't just release single player and put out multiplayer in a later patch, unless there's something wrong with single player.

The biggest barrier to me was the combat, but maybe I should try it again. It just felt very odd and even if I'd slaughter a group of enemies without getting touched, it just wasn't satisfying. Still, all the hype can't be for nothing.

I just want offline trophies!

I see this as being like the Final Fantasy XIII games. Play them all back to back, and they gel pretty well as one LONG game. I'd be down for that in FF7, too.

The biggest thing for me is how PS+ introduced me to games that I'd otherwise have never played. Transistor and Velocity 2X are honestly some of the most well put together games I've played in quite a long time, but I know that I never would've been bothered to pick them up if they weren't given to me.

@DrJoeystein I agree, I actually found SFIV to be nearly unplayable. Sure, I could occasionally win by button mashing or using basic combos, but getting the timing down and establishing muscle memory to do more complex moves was too much. Simply put, it just wasn't worth the time to me.

Just recently finished playing through the first game and, boy, could it use a remake! I think this looks great, I'll definitely be picking it up.

I played this a couple weeks ago in my room and managed to convince about half my hall to watch the whole thing. We had about 20+ guys all crammed into one room, and they were all so enamored that the only sound came from the game. When I got to the final loop and Lisa inevitably got me, there wasn't a single person in that room that didn't scream or jump out of their chair. I can definitely confirm that this makes for an excellent multiplayer experience, it's still just as scary!

I'm gonna be all over this

Good god, that name...

Golden Abyss was my first Uncharted and while I really enjoyed it, it doesn't hold up to the other 3.

I'm glad to see this, it's about time we start moving on from last gen systems. I feel like this gen has had an especially slow start because developers have been letting the old hardware hold them back.
