With the game supposedly being fully playable earlier this year by those on the development team, this wouldn't entirely surprise me. Either way I'm still taking it with the heaviest grain of salt I can find.
I finished The Last Guardian on Friday night, and it's a masterpiece I'm probably going to restart once I'm out of work later. Otherwise, just picked up Broforce on discount.
@get2sammyb Great review! It perfectly captures how I feel regarding the experience. I have yet to finish it--perhaps today I will--but so far I'm loving it.
And for those asking, I'm playing it on a Slim PS4. Sure, a slowed frame rate happens especially when there's a LOT going on, but for the most part it looks and plays just fine. I imagine it's enjoyable no matter which iteration of the PS4 you're playing on.
Been waiting on this since I first saw footage of it in the Ico and Colossus collection five years ago. Im super excited and this write-up made me even more so! Tomorrow needs to hurry up!
The fact it got a solid release date at E3 was surprising for sure, so somehow I'm not surprised it's getting another small delay. PS4 Pro optimization, perhaps?
Fair enough, I'll wait. I just hope it doesn't get pushed into 2017.
@Kidfried Finally seeing a release date for The Last Guardian forced my hand. I was in literal happy tears when I saw the date. To start, I want (need!) The BioShock collection. I'd also love to get Doom, Fallout 4 and No Man's Sky. For all the disappointment I'm hearing about the game, I still have hope that I'll enjoy it. Add in the incoming Resident Evil 7 and the new God of War, among other amazing-looking games and I have no reason to not get one!
And, I may double dip on Shovel Knight because even though I already own it on Wii U, Shovel Knight rules!
I don't have a PS4 yet--probably will once the Slim is announced and released--but nothing will really convince me to not have a Plus subscription. I like the idea of more games to play, and isn't it required for online? Either way I'm looking forward to finally jumping into it!
@Johnnycide put my feelings about this perfectly. Single-player campaigns are great because they allow players to get a firm grasp on how to play the game without dying multiple times or being screamed at by some teenager. Without any of that, I don't like the idea of this game anymore. SP could have been so perfect in this game. Oh well, I guess I'll give the game a try when one of my buddies gets it.
Owning a Season Pass, I can safely say this DLC makes a strong case for players to get one for themselves if they haven't yet. Assuming Episode Two is $15 as well, the total for all the DLC released by themselves is $35. The Season Pass is only $20, which is like getting Episode Two for free, along with other in-game perks for Infinite.
With that being said, despite its short length I fully enjoyed it. I've been a Bioshock fan for years now, and this return to Rapture after tear-ing away through Columbia was a blast. I can't wait for Episode Two now.
I'll be pre-ordering on PS3 since I don't own a 4 yet. But yeah this game looks great, ever since I first saw it at the PS4 reveal I knew I wanted to check it out.
@get2sammyb One thing that I didn't like about GTA IV was the driving. It always felt sluggish, sorta like you were driving a boat around. GTA V's driving is significantly improved. And I'd also have to say I like the overall atmosphere better and yes, Los Santos, in GTA V. From the little bit of it I played I was blown away. It feels all-new yet seems familiar to me, if that makes sense.
I don't actually own it... yet. I played a good hour or so if it at a friend's house though, and so far I already like it better than GTA IV. Like, WAY better.
I wasn't feeling very interested in the next Xbox anyways, but this thread of arrogance from Orth has further cemented that I definitely won't be supporting Microsoft's next console. Period.
As far as the PS4 goes... as much as I'd love to get one, I'll most likely pass on it for now. The hardware has me thinking I could get a PC rig that's just as good. It would have to take quite a few amazing-looking games or exclusives to make me consider it.
It's not a big deal, I'll just wait to get a PS4 until I've completed all my current PS3 content, which... depending on how long I spend playing each game, could be a while.
But, I can say this: For everyone wondering why people "expect" backwards compatibility, maybe it's because Sony kinda began the trend of backwards compatibility? When the PS2 launched, not only did it offer better-looking games and a DVD player, but it allowed PS1 owners to use their PS1 accessories and games on the new console. When this became known, it became pretty much standard for the console generation to follow. Xbox 360 supported most of the original Xbox's library, PS3 supported PS2 games (at least earlier on) and Wii supported GameCube games and accessories.
So, I can actually understand why everyone expects backwards compatibility, especially from Sony.

Pre-ordered it just this morning. Been itching for this for a while now, can't wait to get started!
Re: July 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Announced
Two games I have yet to try on the PS4--three if we count the one Vita crossbuy--means I'm happy with this!

The question is, can one really handle more stability? 😮

Re: E3 2017: EA Gives PS4 Players Free Access to Five Games Until 18th June
Yes I strongly recommend Titanfall 2! So good, even with a price tag. For me I'll give Garden Warfare 2 a shot.

Picked up Last Guardian yesterday and that's all that has my attention this week. Even the PS Plus freebies can wait.

Re: Round Up: Mafia III Takes a Bullet or Two in First Reviews
Been watching a friend play it. It looks fun enough for maybe a GameFly rental, but not a $60 purchase.

I'm liking the idea of this. I'll have to see more about it, maybe a demonstration will sell me on it.
Re: Feature: Three Reasons Why You Should Skip the PS Vita Slim and Snag the Original
To be honest, I haven't had more than a few minutes worth of play-time on a PS Vita, so I'd have to try both models out before making a decision.

If I ever get a PS4, I'd definitely settle for an updated version of this game!

Re: Talking Point: Is a Big Reveal Likely During Sony's PS4 Launch Livestream?
Not likely, but they only need to say "The Last Guardian" to get me to insta-buy a PS4.

Re: Just What Has Happened to The Last Guardian?
Maybe this will be the PS3's "swan song," as it were? Either way it's been way too long since I've heard more new info.
