My launch PS4 sounds like it's going to take off and it's not a joke. The size and design is fine for me. Also, I wouldn't buy the PS4 "REMASTER" for a bit extra power unless I could get some money back which is not the case.
I'm not against VR, just not interested yet. It will be interesting to see the differences regarding VR between PS4 and PS4Neo and if PS4 is powerful enough for a decent VR experience once the second wave of games is released - if there is a second wave.
I'm still waiting for the PS4 version of Rise of the Tomb Raider to be released so I can compare with the Xbox One version and decide. Good price and DLC included could help in selling me the PS4 version. By the way, Tomb Raider reboot is awesome!
@Sanquine Nintendo Life, PushSquare and PureXbox are connected and Tom mentioned Sony and Microsoft's conferences. Like @Tasuki said, PureXbox is the most peaceful place of the three, you don't read any Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft trolls there and all the comments are meaningful, but it also has less posts than PushSquare and of course than Nintendo Life which can be crazy (the Nintendo conference chat was hot all the time, almost impossible to follow even though the conference was the slowest and most boring of them all). For me it's great to have three websites connected as I became a multigamer recently.
As a multigamer, for me the best was Microsoft's (best lineup and only a few weird moments like Minecraft) and second Sony's (good pace, many games). Nintendo's 2016 show has been their worst show ever. I feel like I wasted a whole afternoon watching stupid Pokemon footage and new Zelda's overworld exploration without any surprise at all nor any free games as a sorry for not supporting your Wii U consoles three years after launch.
This and the new Zelda game have become my most wanted games now. I love that the Japanese title (Biohazard) has become the universal subtitle now (hopefully).
The Nintendo conference is being ridiculous: Pokemon footage for over 40 minutes this far. They just said it's 20 minutes more until Zelda Breath of Wild. So, 60 minutes of Pokemon... Worst Nintendo conference ever. Can't wait for Nintendo Life's polls.
@TXP I agree with you, sometimes I play older games because of that. Also because sometimes it takes too long learning how to play a modern video game when all you want is to sit down and play.
I don't care what they make as long as they make something. I remember that last generation the game I was more frustrated about was The Last of Us, because I did not have a PS3.
@Deadstanley The thing is all the Sony fans that make comments about PS4 and Neo superiority and mock Xbox One what will they say now? I guess we're back to the sixth generation when specifications did not matter as soon as Microsoft announced Scorpio, unless Neo is superior again, of course.
Sony made a great console right from the start. Actually, I got a PS4 just six months after launch while I waited over two years before I got an Xbox One. Microsoft started the eight generation with the wrong decisions but then they dropped Kinect 2.0, added free backwards compatibility via software emulation, and now they got rid of the worst things about Xbox One: big size and power brick. The S model is now as appealing as a PS4. By the time Scorpio is out, Xbox One will be 4 years old, but Sony is releasing Neo even sooner! Add the VR devices and you get the craziest generation ever...
I think both Microsoft's and Sony's were pretty good, with some high and low moments (Microsoft's had a boring Minecraft segment). I don't understand people getting worried about Crash Bandicoot remake, that is good for the sake of variety! Even a Crash Team Racing game would be good for the PS4 games library.
A bit unfair that it's only released for PS4 Plus members, isn't it?
I would love if they left the subtitle Biohazard (Japanese title) from now on! It sounds great. The logo with Roman numerals is awesome, too. Wow I'm so hyped about this and I'm almost never hyped these days.
@ShogunRok Praising is not bad per se, but being too biased when writing headlines and articles might not be as appreciated. I'm not talking about this article nor you in particular and also I'm not the only one who thinks so, even though I am honest enough to publicly say it here. Anyway, I did not expect anyone to agree with me on here and I did not try to offend anybody, I'm just being sincere and polite as I've always been here and elsewhere, because that's the way I am.
@Ralizah Resident Evil VII (or 7) is also the game of the show for me, specially because it seems to be survival horror again as the classic Resident Evil games. Now if only they re-released 3 and Code Veronica on PS4/Xbox One.
@Churchy Looks like I'm not the only classic Resi fan here. The logo is great indeed, but I think the song took all the horror away. I know it won't be playing in-game but it's not the best way to introduce the game, in my opinion.
With REmake 2 in the works, if only Capcom re-released RE3 and Code Veronica for the current generation we would have all main RE games on PS4/Xbox One! Please...
@StaffyDog That is because most people ignore the fact that E3 is just a show for advertising games. Not even the visuals are always the same in the final game!
PS: "We're not sure how you remaster a bunch of PSone games" Because they are remakes, not remasters. I think it's a great idea, and if they also remade Crash Team Racing it would be even better!
@Churchy I did not watch the Sony conference because I was sleeping, but if I had watched it, RE7 (which is not PS4-exclusive, by the way) would have been my favourite moment of the show, too! Very excited about this back-to-horror RE!
About PS4 vs. PS4Neo, it's good to hear that Sony will support PS4 during the whole generation, I just hope that is true, otherwise many people are going to feel disappointed.
@Frank90 No worries, the choice between Xbox and PS should be made based on personal tastes regarding the exclusive software. I appreciate both exclusive lineups though, although I think Microsoft is more considerate of customers.
As a long-time Nintendo fan, I agree with you, it's hard to be a Nintendo fan these days. I think Nintendo can't handle the hardware and software market at the same time, and they make better games than consoles, so my recommendation is clear. Hardware and amiibo have been keeping Nintendo too busy.
Some FFVII and FFXII updates would be really good, I'm interested in both. If a Crash trailer is not shown after all the trolling, many people are going to be angry.
I'm quite excited about RE, I expect Capcom to announce physical editions of RE4, 5 and 6 (5 confirmed in US according to Eurogamer.net). I'm not sure if they are ready to announce 7 though with all this remastering, but I hope REmake 2 has something to show us.
I hope that Sony announces that more PS2 (and PS) games are coming to the store. Finally, I hope that we won't suffer 50 minutes of PSVR market possibilities and stockholders' pockets getting full, because I couldn't care less.
@get2sammyb You can't expect your personal tastes to be the same as everybody else's. Most of the PS4 games I have bought are PS3 remasters (because I did not get a PS3) and I'm still waiting for more PS2 games to be available on the store. There are few new PS4 games I'm really interested in, regardless of reviews and scores. I think PS3 had a much better game library during its first 3 years.
The fact that 66% of PushSquare staff are "in" as opposed to only 33% of PushSquare readers is significant. For developers and websites hyping PS news, the more the better, for next-door boys and girls is a different story.
Like many people have said here, if I wanted upgrades every 3 years, I'd invest in a PC. If there was an upgrading program where you got a decent part of the money you spent on PS4 back if you buy the newer model, I would be more positive about it. Also, what will people wonder when PS5 is released? I tell you the answer: Should I wait 2 or 3 years for PS5Neo? Are people really that wealthy to be buying PSVR and PS4Neo now not knowing what's around the corner?
@BladeRider I hope there is a physical release for every version, it would help the game sell better. The box will be loved by kids and parents (and me!!).
@Grawlog I agree. I remember when I was a kid I was such a Nintendo fanboy telling everybody to buy Nintendo consoles and support Mario games (like some people in their thirties still do), but then I realised that Rare games were actually better. I can't deny Nintendo was leading the way with Super Mario 64, but then Rare made something artistically much better and with a funny script: Banjo-Kazooie. It's a masterpiece and plays great on Xbox One.
@JaxonH I don't know what Tropical Freeze has to do with the topic, but I answer you. Tropical Freeze is excellent indeed, I never argued the contrary. It's quite evident that the new people that Retro hired for making it are really good, because Retro's previous game, Donkey Kong Country Returns, is rough and its design is quite poor. The lava world looks awful and most enemies are clearly uninspired.
What I mentioned are a few ideas that Playtonic borrowed from the original Donkey Kong Country game (made by Rare) and how they mix Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country elements in order to make something "Rare" that looks great and fresh, but classic at the same time.
