Re: Feature: 10 PS4, PS3, and Vita Reveals That We Reckon Will Happen at Gamescom 2014

@Johnnycide It isn't just about having more boxed AAA games it's about having more original, quality AAA games. AAA games that take advantage of the PS4. I don't care if those games are exclusive or not. I want a game with the WOW effect. Indies and rehashes don't have that. Indies aren't the hot bed of innovation some gaming snobs want you to believe either. Most are over priced and average at best.
On another point you raised I'd really like to hear Sony announce they're reorganising SCEE. SCEE are utterly useless. Ultimately I'd like to see SCEA and SCEE combined. Games released globally on the same date as Steam and XBL do.

@stalepie2 again it's not the number of indie games on the PS4 that's the issue for a lot of people. It's the balance of indie games with AAA games and a lot of people think with some justitication it's skewed on the PS4 in favour of indies. There are other issues with indies that seem to be glossed over and never mentioned. Not all indie games are good. They're not the hot bed of innovation some people would like to claim either. How many are just different twists of platformers? Calling gamers who questioned the number of indies on the PS4 short sighted doesn't help.

On another point. Minecraft won't safe the Vita! It's already available on almost every other format on the planet. Also you can be sure of one thing, when it does come out for the Vita it will be significantly more expensive than other formats. Minecraft is three years too late for the Vita.

@get2sammyb why do you automatically assume gamers complaining about indies hate indie games ? It's simply false! Indies have their place but a lot of people out there want games that take advantage of the PS4 than another pixel platformer. What's wrong expecting to see a game with graphics that blow you away rather than one that looks like it run on a C64?
Also claiming AAA games have massive budgets and therefore will be less frequent isn't strictly true and just isn't as black and white as you put it. While their budgets have increased the profits from a successful AAA game has increased massively. EA and Ubisoft et al have all announced huge profits. How many stories have we had about the gaming industry now being worth more than the film industry?
There's a real snobbery in gaming now by faction who think they're the gaming elite. If you're not playing a game with pixel graphics and 1001 levels of dull, repetitive gameplay then you know nothing about gaming and shouldn't dare express an opinion. Absolute rubbish! Indies are fine.. but most are average at best. It doesn't mean people automatically hate them.

@get2sammyb you're entirely wrong, they are taking away from new AAA games. Unless of course you actually believe there's an abundance of AAA games on the PS4. Which there clearly isn't! It's just easy money for publishers who sell ports at premium prices. You didn't see any rehash games being advertised for the PS4 at launch. Now the PS4 is the home of the double dip and platforming indie that belongs on a mobile.

@Enobmah_Shards I'm not sure what you're hinting at but the claim that the games are free isn't accurate and is misleading.
@hadlee73 Sony play a game with Metacritic 70+ claim. As long as they offer one game in the IGC at 70 or above they can claim it. You can have all PS4 and Vita games less than 70 and one PS3 game over 70 and they're technically not false advertising. Technically that is... being fair is another matter.

@PorllM the key words being mentions the criticism. I quote ' prices a little on the high side'. That isn't criticism it's glossing over the single biggest issue for this service. Why not be as critical as the article for EA Access? A service they only reported on as well. Sony have gone from preaching about offering value to customers to showing off an over priced rental service.

Re: PlayStation Hardware Sales Leave Xbox in the Dust

THIS_SITE_SUCKS

@Cyrso Look if you think a company is healthy because it made a profit selling off assets and a bit of luck in the Yen exchange rate despite having only one product showing any meaningful real growth then fair play to you. All other sectors for Sony are in decline. If you don't see the problem with that then fair enough. As for your last point, if you owned a PS4 and knew something about it you'd know indies and remakes are not complementary to AAA games on the PS4. It's the other way about.

Re: PlayStation Hardware Sales Leave Xbox in the Dust

THIS_SITE_SUCKS

@Cyrso How did I not refute your point? Sony returned to profit based on the Japanese exchange rate and selling off assets. The Playstation is the only product that has shown any degree of growth. Sony are no longer market leaders in any other sector. Their TV's are nothing special, they've already dropped out of the PC market and their mobile phones failed to have any impact on market share. They're struggling to find a new cash cow.

If you're happy with a Vita then good for you but many others were not. You're lucky if you're happy with indies. Sony will serve you well. As for remakes there's a lot more than just TLOU! And with other games like Journey and Unfinished Swan incoming I'd have kept my PS3 if I wanted to play PS3 games. At least I bought a PS4 before giving an opinion on it. If you don't like it you're more than welcome not to read it. I wouldn't want you to look stupid complaining about people complaining.

Re: PlayStation Hardware Sales Leave Xbox in the Dust

@Cyrso Actually at you look at their report they owe as much to the weak Japanese exchange rate and selling off assets for their profits as do they to anything they make. Sony now only lead the market in gaming. I had a Vita and sold it. It's poorly supported and Sony. The number of remakes and indies on the PS4 is becoming an issue for many owners. Sony are far from out of the woods so don't believe the hype from reports on sites like this.

Re: PlayStation Hardware Sales Leave Xbox in the Dust

The PlayStation brand is the only thing Sony have going for them at the moment. Momentum is high but they need to watch out. I'm starting to really regret buying a PS4 and no longer see PS+ as a premium must have service. I find the EA - Microsoft pair up very interesting and can see me buying an Xbox One very soon.

Re: Feature: What Are August 2014's Free PlayStation Plus Games?

THIS_SITE_SUCKS

@Demi_God No I think you'll find the dumbest thing you've ever heard is the claim PS+ games are free. I'd rather play Battlefield Hardline than another indie game that might have been original on a Megadrive. If Sony can't offer AAA games for the first year of the service on the PS4 then offer better discounts, better exclusive access or a better online service. Then again that would involve imagination. Something Sony are lacking in. Stop making excuses for Sony. They quietly dropped the +70 score on metacritic, dropped the number of PS3 games and people bend over and take it.
