@JaxonH My thoughts exactly

@Mrskinner I must admit, Sunset Overdrive did look promising. As did Platinum's new game. Those two were the highlights for me - I'm interested to see what Sony has up its sleeve

Good Lord, Sammy, you're a writing machine! As for the conference, I am certainly much more interested in the Xbox One than I was before. With that said, nothing really wowed me all that much.

The PSN is predictably pretty gross right now, so good luck to you all

I am so excited for this, as the first game was absolutely stellar! However, that name is complete nonsense.

I'll be going to bed in the next few hours, so I can get up at 2:00 for another company's press conference that won't be named. Then I'll be awake all the way through. Should be an interesting 24 hours.

@get2sammyb That joke really didn't require me to watch the entire video, but I did...

That Kaz Hirai picture may just be the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Oh, I am all about this. I mean, I would never play it, because I'm a giant scaredy cat. But still, that art is terrific!

Right. That's it, Ladies and Gentlemen. Between this and the last article, I am now officially out of Dragon Ball Z puns. It's been a good run, I feel, and I'd really like to thank you all for your support

@ShogunRok That sounds like the sort of needless alliteration I might have come up with

"Frequent user of lavish language " - Yeah, I'll cop that

Ahhhh, this makes me sad. I really was looking forward to this, but now I think I'll wait till it drops in price a little.

I have almost zero interest in the Battlefield franchise, but this does have me intrigued. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

Also, if it's anything like the movie Heat, I am so down.

A well deserved spot for Wolfenstein. It's a really terrific little shooter, with a lot of style and a good sense of humour. Also, it's heartening to see a single player-only FPS make such an impact - they seem to be a dying breed.

@Dub-Focus While I think it's unlikely that we'll get Rayman, I now really really really want Rayman! That would actually be the best thing ever!

Cracking read, Alex! I've been playing through this the past few days, and really enjoying it - especially the story, which surprises me. I can't wait to see what this developer does next

Nice writeup Ben! I played this on PC and it was absolutely terrific. I can't recommend it enough

"No more Batman!" - I wonder if Rocksteady is getting sick of making Batman games?

Seriously though, I am all about the Batmobile!

@Davros79 Thank you! In terms of the combat, it's a little difficult to describe. It feels a lot more fluid than a standard tactical RPG like Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics, but it's certainly not as fast paced as Bastion. I would say watch a gameplay video from early in the game, and that should give you a fairly good idea of wether or not it'll appeal to you.

I have literally no interest in racing games, but I want to play this just to look at it. It's a good job it's free!

My biggest problem with QTEs is how many of the damn things there are. For a while there, it felt like developers had conflated repeatedly tapping a single button with actual gameplay. I think QTEs are at their best when they're used sparingly, and MGS 4 is a perfect example of that. There is no other (that I can remember) use of QTEs in that game, so the one time they are used is rendered that much more effective and meaningful.

@Cloud7794 Did you Dragon Ball Zee what I did there?

@Demi_God @get2sammyb Yeah, Sony's is basically the only conference that works very well for me. Which is frankly all I deserve for my gloating

It certainly does seem a little strange that they would seemingly ignore the European market in this way yet again. Surely they could have scheduled the conference a few hours earlier to keep everyone happy. I can't really complain, though, as it'll be airing around midday over here. My biggest concern is making sure I don't get lunch crumbs all over my keyboard while I'm typing furiously.

I totally forgot about this game. More titles UbiArt is always good news. Mad keen.

I will never not be impressed by this new attitude of listening and responding to people's complaints. It's honestly ridiculous how good of a job Sony's been doing in this department over the last year.

More like Naughty Doooommmm......oh wait.

Oh boy, I want ALL of these games. That said, I'm a little concerned that they're releasing Spelunky on PS4. That's just going to feed my addiction.

This game looks like Ico and Wind Waker had a baby. I could not possibly be more okay with this.

I am so so so excited for this game! I'm probably not even going to play it, I'm just going to sit and look at it!

The Last Guardian. #believe

@General_Spiller Alas, they don't give me any insider info From what I can gather, though, you're pretty much spot on. Obviously no developer would be able to actually tell us how much this payment amounts to, but we can assume that it'd be a fair amount. I think in this case they probably made the right decision, only because Mercenary Kings is so expensive, and I doubt it would have sold hugely well, at least initially.

I absolutely adore the UbiArt engine, and I'm ecstatic that Ubisoft seems to be starting to take advantage of it a little more.

I missed out on Puppeteer, so this is terrific news!

Octodad. All day, every day.

@SunnyShores I often find myself pausing the game in the middle of really intense fire fights just so I can see what it looks like in photo mode. Which is a pretty bad idea, because it usually ends up getting me killed.

I agree though, I'd really like to see them implement the mode in other games, especially early in the generation when we're all trying our darndest to find improvements over our previous consoles

@Cowboysfan-22 Ahahaha, that's all good Don Bradman was a really famous Australian cricketer. As for knowing about the sport, I don't think anyone will be too angry - most of the people I know think cricket's boring anyway!

@Ginkgo Huh, there you go If I'm honest, sports games aren't really my bag, but as you alluded, how could I refuse the Don?

@get2sammyb Ahhh, Tru Blu Games - the studio behind such classic titles as uh.....and uhm......

Look, I think I'll just stick with MLB. Though, I have heard that the leather in Don Bradman Cricket 14 looks impeccable!

@get2sammyb It's like cricket, isn't it? Right? Probably? On topic, though, I'm tempted to buy this just so I can look at it a whole bunch...

Yeah, I agree entirely. When it comes to indie games, my mantra has essentially become - "I'll just wait till it releases on Vita!" For some reason, I just really love playing games on that thing.

Day one.

Well that does it. Now I HAVE to buy Olli Olli.

@get2sammyb I'm doing my best out here, Sammy!

I've always been intrigued by this one, but I've yet to see a game - L.A Noire included - in which the "searching for clues" gameplay was actually very interesting. That said, I love the concept and setting. I guess I'll just wait for reviews!

@N711 They did, but it was still kinda vague. I guess I was trying to refer to the vagueness more than anything else, but I don't think I did a very good job of making that clear in the article. Regardless, I think we can all agree, that the sooner it comes out, the better

@BornOfEvil I believe it's been delayed twice now, but yes, I may have taken a bit of artistic license for dramatic effect

@get2sammyb Ahhhhh, that's much better! To be honest, I'm more of a cricket man myself. Of course in Australia, we call it "Batt-ball."

Oh my stars, this looks pretty. I'm really digging that Enya-esque soundtrack, too.

Getting pretty excited for this one. I really think they've nailed the look, and it sounds like it's appropriately terrifying as well.
