Y'know, looking at this just makes me realize that norhing really interests me over the next few months. I might look into Battlefront, but I'm hoping there's another game or two that we don't know about yet.
Destiny is one of those games that I really want to like, but just can't. The gunplay itself is fantastic and I absolutely love the visual design that supports the whole thing, but the structure itself really destroys the experience. Even though it sounds like progression is being tweaked, my problem with it is that there's no reward for progression to begin with. I don't want to level up just for the sake of it, I want to be given a reason to level up.
I picked up the PS+ edition and was thoroughly blown away. After reading nothing but negativity about this game after that absymal launch, I expected a barely functional racer that would disappoint in nearly every respect. It couldn't be further from that expectation; I typically despise "realistic" racing games, but this one's got me hooked.
@get2sammyb Interestingly enough, the Playstation was originally a Nintendo project called the Play Station. It was going to be a way for the SNES to remain relevant when CDs were becoming the norm, but Nintendo backed out at the last minute. Sony took the half developed prototype, removed the SNES parts, and marketed it as its own console. The idea of the circle being a confirm button is probably a holdover from the old days!
Still complete BS. Who celebrates the two year anniversary of anything? So they gave a "piece of artwork" to Sony without telling them that it had no significance, which then happened to find its way onto an upcoming games video with the PS4 logo attached? At the very least, there's a re-release coming.
That's complete BS. If it was part of some countdown, there would've been a one or three as well. There's no way this is just a coincidence that a "2" in the exact same font as MGR shows up in a trailer about upcoming games.
I don't really see how they can improve on it. It was by no means a great game, but what could they really add to it? More missions? It was a long game already...
Man, I was already disappointed in this game, but damn. I don't understand why Bungie's doing this, it's like they're actively doing everything they can to trash the once good name of the studio.
I'm amazed at how quiet this comment section is, this is the best lineup we've had in months. The first big title for the PS4's collection and another big one for the ps3. While I didn't mind seeing the indies before, Sony was showing a worrying trend of caring less about the quality of the games it was putting up.
You can pause downloads. This was honestly the best thing about the update for me; it's been so annoying having downloads slowed to a crawl because a few upates felt the need to squeeze in there.
This sounds great, but at the same time, I hope that they make the game fair. It sounds like they're going with a nearly unrealistic level of difficulty. A good rule of thumb I remember the director of Castlevania told to his team when they made games was that the boss could be as hard as you like, but you have to be able to beat it without getting hit or it's not going in the game...
I still find it amusing how the Wii U, with its inferior specs, still manages to have more 60 FPS 1080p games than PS4 or Xbone. I love my PS4 to death, but seriously guys, if Nintendo can do it so effortlessly on their weaker machine, than what's the problem here?
I love the multiplayer in this game, it's like a perfect distillation of what call of duty should be. I feel like with the addition of the new class, things have gotten more out of balance, but it's still a great time.
So what exactly does this mean? Are they saying that if you were to preorder a game coming out a week from now, you'd already start the download and be able to play it at midnight the day it came out?
Also, if you can't find any coal, you can make charcoal by burning raw wood from the trees in your furnace. On my map, I didn't find any naturally occurring coal for a few days...

@Crimson_Ridley I agree that it looks like it may be underwhelming, but I'm going to suspend judgment until I play through it myself.

I'll get it! Still waiting on Darksiders 3, too...

@milero91 Haha, I hear that Landon is beautiful in the fall!
Re: London's Looking Lavely In Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Newest Gameplay Trailer
Has nobody else noticed 'Lavely' in the headline? Is that some sort of British slang or was it a typo?

One of the best months yet, I can't wait!

Re: Take the Super Impossible Road on PS4
The iOS predecessor was pretty good, hopefully this'll come to PS+ at some point.
Re: Assassin's Creed Syndicate Slums It on PS4 from 23rd October
This should be interesting, I like the setting. Way better than France...

Never change, Japan...

Re: March's Free PlayStation Plus Games include Oddworld PS4, OlliOlli 2, and Valiant Hearts
@ShogunRok Agreed, I have the feeling this will be considered a "weak" lineup.

Re: There Are More Mortal Kombat Kollector's Editions Than Decapitated Limbs
Still doesn't beat Watch_Dogs and the absolutely absurd amount of releases that got.
Re: Wait, So Sony Didn't Actually Tease Metal Gear Rising 2 for PS4?
That's complete BS. If it was part of some countdown, there would've been a one or three as well. There's no way this is just a coincidence that a "2" in the exact same font as MGR shows up in a trailer about upcoming games.
Re: Metal Gear Rising to Serve Up a Second Dose of Revengeance on PS4?
This could really be something special after what they did with Bayonetta 2. That's an extremely high bar, but they just might be able to top it.
Re: What Is Square Enix's Unannounced PS4 Exclusive?
Maybe it'll be a cheap iOS port of one of their games!
Re: The Witcher 3 Sounds Like It's Going to Have a Lot of Sex
The part that gets me is that they mo-capped it. Haha, how'd that conversation go down?
"Hey, I came to apply for the job ad you put in the paper?"
"Here, just put on this suit and follow the yellow line, you'll know when the job starts."
Re: Ubisoft Developer Reckons Watch Dogs Has "a Lot of Room for Improvement"
I don't really see how they can improve on it. It was by no means a great game, but what could they really add to it? More missions? It was a long game already...
Re: Evolve Reveals the Beauty of the Beast in Cinematic Trailer
Looks to me like a metal as hell Monster Hunter clone. I'll have to check this out.
Re: Sony Engineers Investigating as PS4 Goes Offline Again
@Rick_Hunter Settle down there, chief, that's the longest wall of text I've seen in quite a time.
While I do love my PS4, it's times like these I'm extremely glad to have a Wii U!

Re: Rumour: The Next Assassin's Creed Will Brave the Smog of Victorian London
What's with the "B" button on that screenshot? Is this one coming to the Wii U?

Re: Review: Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions (PlayStation 4)
Looks a lot like Nano Assault, I'm gonna have to look into this.
Re: Square Enix Knows When Final Fantasy XV Will Release on PS4
Well, we'll have Xenoblade X to fill that gap! I want to be excited for this game, but I feel like it will be a hellishly long wait.
Re: Nano Assault Neo-X Assaults Your Eyeballs on PlayStation 4
This was amazing for the Wii U! Though, it doesn't look like it was upscaled or anything for this port...

Much better this month. I already have most of these, but this is a nice improvement.
Re: Sony Reckons That No One Will Be Able to Beat Bloodborne's TGS Demo

Re: Got a 12GB PS3? Sorry, You Can't Play Grand Theft Auto Online Anymore
I don't get it. Were you able to play it on one of these before? Why won't it work anymore?
Re: Wait, Did Ed Boon Just Hint at a New Mortal Kombat Game?
I don't think the x means 10 I think it means crossover. What if Injustice 2 and MK10 are the same thing?
Re: Rumour: PS4's Power Will Slide to Unlock 60FPS in Watch Dogs
I still find it amusing how the Wii U, with its inferior specs, still manages to have more 60 FPS 1080p games than PS4 or Xbone. I love my PS4 to death, but seriously guys, if Nintendo can do it so effortlessly on their weaker machine, than what's the problem here?

Re: Curve Studios: There May Still Be More PlayStation Exclusives from Us This Year
Good to see Wii U getting more exclusives, it needs those a lot more than PS4 right now...
