I like it. It definitely gives me a FF vibe.

Activision know about, and are in full control of the decline. They are milking it until it dies. Then the next big thing will come along and they will rinse and repeat. That's how you make the most money.

@DerMeister I was going to write a comment almost identical to yours. Agree on everything.

I'm very curious as to which direction they would take it in. The fact that it's Sony Pictures really means nothing.

@get2sammyb Yea I agree that not many of the sales will be people buying a second console. Of course some of them will be but the majority of people buy just one console.

MS winning is definitely a good thing for all us gamers. Keep everyone on their toes. Sony didn't need a price cut. Sony needs to continue down its own path. Looking at its own sales, promotion slots, game releases etc. Yes MS are its main competition but the PS4 is proving itself on its own. Sony needs to continue to focus on making the PS4 a great product - games, features etc.

Price cut when it's a good time for PS4 to price cut. Run promotions when its a good time for PS4 to run promotions. Things go very wrong very quickly when companies allow competition to dictate their strategies.

lol What a badass he thinks he is.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Yea I completely agree. I think VR is the future. I think the Oculus Rift is going to be massive, maybe not commercially at first but definitely in the entertainment area. I was just disagreeing on the part where you said that its extra features are what will make it a big seller. I think people actually want good products and not many people are going to buy a VR headset for its TV functions if its primary VR function is average at best. Extra features or not, VR headsets will have a big impact when VR is great.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi haha I don't get it.

I have no experience at all with Destiny and reading this article felt like reading another language (lol) but it was my impression since the first time I saw an interview with the developers that Destiny was going to be an evolving game. It was never going to be a pay for it once type package. Im not defending this (as i have stated i don't have experience with the game) and certainly a big issue with this might be down to pricing but this is kinda exactly what I expected from the game Destiny. It was always sold as an evolving heavy DLC type experience.

Edit: Right, so they have actually blocked you from playing missions that you could already play and in no way relate to the new DLC I.e the mission and its content wouldn't change at all post purchase of the DLC? That is a big statement.

@Bad-MuthaAdebis I disagree that its reasons for success will lie with its additional functionality such as being able to double as a TV screen etc (although I do think it will have these features). The only way it will be successful is if it is a good product on its own. This is the issue with Vita and the reason its not selling. No one cares about its additional functionality (which Sony are so desperate to push) because the system itself is junk. VR will be successful when VR is great. Then and only then. If the VR experience is great and yet it doesn't have all these additional features that you talk about it will still sell well.

VR is the future. Im guessing Project Morpheus isn't.

I think I might be the only one who doesn't like the visuals of LBP.

@Savino Yea I remembered you mentioned that you worked with 3D in an old comment. That's why I wanted to note im not an expert haha! I will take your word for it.

Looks pretty fun.

@Savino I'm no expert but im still not convinced. The images being used to compare are just too different for me to draw conclusions.

@Savino Exactly how i feel.

Maybe we should be excited that the game might play a bit differently than the gazillion other shooters out there. Maybe it will be extremely cinematic based and offer a different experience. I'm not saying I will love it but at least it's something different!

Yea i'm not convinced that comparison proves anything. The images themselves look to be completely different quality.

Day of the tentacle!?!? I obviously missed that. I love that game!

@ztpayne Im not comparing Nintendo games to Sonys. Mario Kart 8 was the best, pikmin 3 was the best, NSMBU was the best, DKCTF is the best, 3D world is unbelievably good (first in the series, not a single glitch, looked fantastic). ZombieU and Wonderful 101 are third party games. Now of course this is all subjective, like you acknowledged, and im well aware that I am not the only person with an opinion. What im trying to say is that Sony's first party games have not been the best. Do you disagree? Do you think that Sonys games this gen have been better than what they have done in the past? No one is sitting in the Nintendo camp stating that Nintendo's output hasn't been up to their best. That is all im saying about Sonys current output - its not their BEST! You even admit that most people dont think Killzone was the best. So why are you arguing? People seem to get so defensive. Dont read any deeper than exactly what im saying.

@adf86 I'm not talking quantity am I? and neither were you. Im talking about quality. I don't care how many games nintendo had in their first year - what games they did put out were the best. You continue to defend your point of view by picking out ONE game (MLB). You could look at what i'm saying and try to understand my point rather than continue to defend needlessly. Of course it is subjective, and if you think all these PS4 games are the best versions of theirs or similar franchises then wowee your a positive guy.

Im actually in support of this game saying that if it is an on-rails shooter then i'm hoping it can be the BEST on-rails shooter we have seen in a long time.

@adf86 Sony's exclusives have been a let down so far. Killzone wasnt the best, Infamous wasnt the best, MLB is sport, TLOU is a port, Knack wasnt the best, driveclub wasnt the best, LBP3 wasnt the best.
Arnt the games coming out on the new gen supposed to be the best? Nintendos new entrys are.

I'm happy for this game to be a completely on-rails cinematic experience. Hopefully they can do it better than anyone has done before. If you don't like this sort of game then you have a plethora of other games 3rd/1st person games to buy. Im so glad this isn't just another 'open-world' 'sandbox' game.

This looks boring. The worlds don't even look significantly different from one another. Im not understanding the hype for this game. I think people are wanting this game to be something that its not. Time will tell.

@KratosMD That link doesn't prove it is a PS4 exclusive at all??

In fact... "it would make use of the Unreal Engine 4 game engine which would allow the game to be developed for multiple platforms"

Under the 'Platforms' category it clearly states that PS4 requires citation. In case you are not aware, that means that it has been pulled out of thin air.

Why would Capcom choose to keep this on PS4 if Sony money isn't involved? This isn't an indie dev with no time to port.

@k_andersen As a non-american myself, that was my impression too.

Wow! They did a fantastic job of this.

@Gamer83 Yea definitely. Im looking forward to seeing how this game turns out compared to their last games.

@Gamer83 So the game itself being bad isn't the issue as its the same situation as last gen and those games are great. Its the fact that there is no reason why it couldnt have been better that has killed your hype. Gotcha.

@Gamer83 Oh right, yea that blows. However, wasn't this pretty much the case for most last-gen games including the epic rocksteady Batman games?
I think up until now this whole graphical parity thing has been a bit of an excuse for poor work but i'm willing to give Rocksteady the benefit of the doubt. Its not like the Xbox One is chronically underpowered compared to the PS4. Now if it was Wii U parity I would be worried.

@Gamer83 What's the story with them nerfing it?

I like it however the thing I like the least is how the bulk of the watch is on the underside of the watch face. it means that the strap will not sit flush on your wrist but instead have to come up to merge with the face. Change that somehow and I would actually buy one.

Edit: you can see what im talking about in the opening shot in the video.

“There may or may not be other sales in the coming weeks that include Vita titles.” lol

@mitcHELLspawn I'm in the same boat. Never really notice a difference. DS3 for console and Xbox360 controller for PC. I like both, although the xbox controller is a bit more comfy.

Great compensation. Hopefully this truly is a sign that Ubisoft understand it was not acceptable.

This is fantastic however I still feel sorry for the people who's perceived value of those lied about features was more than $25. IMO Sony have been scum in regards to these sorts of practices in the last few years. Hopefully this is a big enough slap for them to cool down a bit.

@Crimson_Ridley Yea im with ya. If we want this to stop then we simply need to stop buying. Until then they will keep pumping out crap to us.

Every comment I read about the MP is positive. A PS+ giveaway might just be exactly what this game needs.

@seeafish yea, well if you find them fun then that's all that matters.

@seeafish What rastamadeus said.
Angry birds isnt all of a sudden not a casual game because you put it on hard mode (although im sure it would be substantially more enjoyable).

Great games use level design, gameplay mechanics etc to make the game more complex. Not just increase enemy count and hit damage.

I KNOW that GoW does not become complex as my flatmate finished all of them (He blows at gaming). Hence why I define it as casual. And crud.

@get2sammyb Maybe I have just noticed a recent surge. I think there was an article recently that had two in one paragraph haha.

@Danny2014 Yea, very true. It was the story that hooked my flatmate. And yea the comparison shouldnt be children vs adults it should be hardcore vs casual. To me, these story based games are the most casual you can get, yet the people who play "Hardcore" GoW say that Mario games are for casuals.
Im not actually caught up on this issue haha but I do find it absurdly ironic.

But I personally do find these games a huge pile of crud. I can find WAY better stories in both books and movies and I can find WAY better games on both PS and Nintendo (and MS??) consoles.

@get2sammyb Your overly frequent use of, er, er is quite annoying. It starts to read so badly.

Rant over. No need to pay attention if you don't want

GoW games to me are the biggest load of crud. The skill required is non existent. My flatmate was a die hard fan and his gaming skills are that of a 3 year old.

It hurts me when people say Nintendo games are for children and yet they then turn around and play some of the easiest casual games available.

@Munkyknuts Yea, agreed. I really enjoyed JC2 so im excited for the third.

@rastamadeus Yea, exactly this.

I think the people that reckon Sony missed out on a huge opportunity by not having a bundle need to step out of the Sony Universe for a second and realise just how irrelevant the Vita is. Minecraft on the Vita is not a big deal for almost everyone. The amount of people who would buy a Vita to play a game that is on almost everything else is so small its not worth talking about.

@Godsire- Leaving?? I said losing. Im sure a PS5 will exist, whether it will be successful is what i'm doubting. Excluding Nintendo, I would say the PS3 won that generation in the end also. Means absolutely nothing about the future though.

@ZeD Both iTunes and Google Play both currently stream all entertainment BUT games. That's my point.

Imagine purchasing GTA6 on Google Play and being able to login and play it on any device in the world that runs either the Chrome browser or Android OS. Its a crazy thought and one that Sony will have to deal with... quickly.

@get2sammyb Yea, well that's my hope for Sony. I obviously don't know the technical aspects behind Gaikais technology but I assuming (maybe incorrectly) that it's nothing that MS, Apple, Google can't do. Compare PS Now to iTunes, Google Play Store and Windows app store - it really cant compete. I would much rather buy GTA6 on the Google Play store than PS Now. Wouldnt you? I know a fair few iTunes users who would much rather have it tied to that.

There are instances where the big three (google, ms, apple) are not winning - Music streaming. Spotify has done a fantastic job there. I just dont think that will be the case for PS Now.

Edit: the reason as to why this gen has proved this to me is that Sony have clearly shown that they are currently not the world leaders in online infrastructure. Harsh but true.
