I got 4 games and a new Crystal Red dualshock 4 for Black Friday from Bestbuy.ca. I don't go into the stores because it's too busy for my liking. I'm happy I live in Canada and not USA, cause it looks like utter chaos on Black Friday down there!
A couple reasons I can think to why Vita failed where the Switch is succeeding 1/ the Switch has full console style controls (Vita is missing L2/ R2 and clickable joysticks)
2/ the Switch is a actual console/portable hybrid, just simply dock it and play on tv, or take it out and play portable. Vita was mostly a portable with console like games that could play streamed games from a PS4 (a Switch is cheaper then owning a PS4 and Vita combo)
3/ The memory cards for the Vita where ridiculously priced, where Nintendo was smart and went with micro sd
4/ Nintendo games are great to usually play quick gaming sessions, or very long gaming sessions, which make the portable/ console hybrid work. Sony games are usually more cinematic and require longer play sessions to get fully into a game, not really idea for a portable.
Just some of my thoughts as to why, personally I would love a hybrid console from Sony, but I doubt it would happen.
2020 would probably be the time I would expect a PS5, any sooner and I'm not interested. This generation just now feels like it's starting to hit it's stride, so having PS5 is 2018 would be way too early, and 2019 would be a good time to start talking about it.
I'm interested in getting one, only problem is spending that kind of money on something that is just a add on accessory. I would probably go out and buy one quickly if they had more games like Resident Evil 7, Doom, Skyrim and that come out for it that are true games, and less games that are small experiences.
they got Nier Automata on for $55 CAD for normal, $52 CAD for PS Plus members, mean while I just bought it on Best Buy for $30 CAD. Playstation sales are usually really good, but not always.
I liked it, it wasn't the greatest, but it didn't deserve the hate ppl gave it. I will be one of the ppl to eventually get Knack 2
I kind of wish Sony would bring back, or at least remaster, Ape Escape. I loved that game and it's sequels, and would love more from that series. Also a brand new Parappa game would be awesome too!
Meh, who cares? If you are this obsessed about the graphics, you would have already moved on and become a PC gamer. I play PlayStation because of the awesome games.
When the PSVR first launched I didn't want it, and figured it would probably die out in less than a year, but now there are good games like these two coming to it which makes me actually want one!
Only problem I have with the VR in Doom and Skyrim from the videos I've watched is how the movement is in the games. I wish you could use the Move navigation controller to move your character instead of how it is with the two move wand remotes.
it's ok that it's only coming to Europe and Japan, cause honestly I don't care for the look of it. And why not make a PS4 Pro one instead of another PS4 Slim special edition?
In North America we already suffered through this (in Canada it's $69.99 CAD/$56 USD for a year subscription) and though it's not horrible, it would be nice to get better games and exclusive sales for ppl worth playstation plus. Personally I rather they get rid of the stupid Vita games and give away 3 ps4 and 3 ps3 games a month.
Well I bought Watch Dogs 2 on day one, but the other games I'm waiting for the Black Friday sales to pick up games for me, and other ppl for Christmas, so that is obviously a huge factor to consider.
Black Friday wasn't a big thing in Canada until a couple years ago, it was always boxing day sales, but now that black friday is bigger here, I've gotten use to waiting to pick up the big fall games, and so have most ppl I know.
Imo, the series should take a good 2-3 year break. Remember when you made games other then Assassins Creed and Far Cry, cause I can't Do something original for once.
Either show a new game or shut up, Sony. So sick of them teasing Crash
And why do people actually want a new Crash game? The last ones didn't sell worth a crap, and ActiVision owns the rights to Crash, so the game won't be as good as they where when Naughty Dog did them. And why would Naughty Dog do another Crash game when they have bigger named games like Uncharted and The Last of Us they can easily do more with gameplay and story wise.
I loved Crash games back on the PSONE, but that's where they should stay, in the past.
Not one game that I find interesting, pretty sad. I'm really starting to regret getting a year subscription to ps+ right now. Hoping March is a better month for me.
Bloodborne (PS4): doing optional Nightmare Frontier area right now.
Mario Kart Wii: trying to get double and triple stars in courses.
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii): playing it again, love this game alot!
N64: friend moved and needed to get rid of some things, so I ended up buying his collection of games and I'll be playing games like goldeneye, banjo kazooie, and majora's mask also this weekend.
Basically alot of Nintendo this weekend, coming from the guy that had bad mouthed Nintendo alot lately lol
Can't wait for this to come out, I'm a huge Sega and a Shenmue fan as well. Still think they should release a Shenmue 1 & 2 Remastered Collection for ppl that haven't played the series, or forget alot of what happened since it was so long ago.
Sega has no idea what their western fans want, so no, this will probably never release in the west. I really wish it would. I loved PSO, but Sega only seems to give us Sonic games now
Lots of great game coming to the Vita from third party developers, too bad Sony isn't really supporting their own system anymore -_-
Two I'm looking forward to the most is World of Final Fantasy, and A Boy and his Blob, but really there wasn't a game on that list that doesn't interest me
The ppl that keep saying the Vita is dead are just annoying, and honestly, it's getting rather old. Stop being haters!
A $200- 299 price range that comes with the headset, playstation move controllers, and a game would be fine with me, anything else and it would be a very hard sale.
It's down in Canada too. It's pretty freakin ridiculous considering it's the first day back to school and work. Would love to play some FFXIV, so get the freakin thing up and working already, Sony -_-
Final Fantasy XIV (PS4) lvling up my white mage Shovel Knight (PS4) trying to get platinum in this game Final Fantasy X (Vita) love this game, decided to replay it on the Vita Mortal Kombat X (PS4) will be starting the story mode
Mortal Kombat X, Bloodborne, and Final Fantasy Type O Hd all for ps4, and kinda related to video games, the Resident Evil Collection with all five movies

Re: Guide: PS4 Pro vs PS4 - Which One Should You Buy?
Pick PS4 Pro if you have 4K tv and want VR, pick the slim/older model if you don't have 4K and don't care about VR...about sums it up, really
Personally, I have a PS4 Pro because I figure I will eventually get 4K and VR and didn't want to cheap out and only get the slim just in case.

Re: Watch Dogs 2 Will Don Its Iconic Cap by April 2017 on PS4
Can't wait for Watch Dogs 2, and I hope Aiden Peirce is the main character again, never understood the hate ppl had for him.
Only game in that high quality line up In looking forward to its South Park. I think it's time Ubisoft did something original again.

Re: Your Free February PlayStation Plus Games Are Out Now

@Melucine I have a 2tb in my PS4 and it's just so nice not to worry about deleting games to make room, so you definitely made a good choice to upgrade

Re: Say Goodbye to Sony Computer Entertainment
