Do you break down crying when you see trailers for stuff they’ve done that’s Nintendo only?

@BLP_Software

It's a pretty bold move, the same post that initally leaked this game, hinted that a Switch focused Monster Hunter 5 was on the way.

World wasn't given the title 5 despite being a Mainline title for insurance so if it flops they can back pedal on it.

Yeah this sucks, and makes the PS4 version if Minecraft the worse one out there to buy.

@gmxs

I mean the xbox has sold more than a million units, and the service is also on PC. EA Acess being a thing hasn't created any other comparable services on xbox, and even if they did come you don't have to use it.

Sony was smart to cap off and book end PSX with Naughty Dog. I voted for Knack 2 for like, but honestly Horizon would be my game of the show.

Im buying a PS4 so it got me to jump in.

They had to keep it on time considering they're selling it in stores.

If it makes the two upcoming expansions free and allows for less content droughts than im cool. I know the next two $20 expansions were based on the Cabal and Vex but I'm hoping we can get some.nice events and a continuation of the Awolen plot line soon enough.

The weekly update for this week should be interesting.

Weird, I wonder if the main multiplatform branding isn't doing as well as they thought it would.

@Spooke2k

The PS4 gets the beta first but the EA all acess is too play the full game a week before.

Most likely a time constraint seeing as thier is a tie in book coming in October.

Know it's been over a month now but I was expecting the witcher to still be in the top 3.

Probably I feel in many ways Sony and Microsoft has switched postions with the PS4 being the big third party system and the xbox one having more interesting first party games.

Out of the Sony stuff i'm hoping that Project Horizon from GG is anounced and shown off.

No matchmaking at the higher level tiers is a rip.

Just keep Kratos out of it He's probably the worst of the modern Video game protagonist. He's in what an interesting setting yet he has less depth than the gears of wars guys and is always on rage mode 24/7.

@get2sammyb

The first party line up has left much to be desired, and you have alot of more mainstream gamers who don't count indie games as being real ones unfortunately.

Man I'm too late to make a taylor swift joke.

Sucks when the big two use these marketing tactics to try and make a difference it only hurts gamers.

This should be a nice exclusive to keep the talk on the PS4 until The Witcher comes out in May. March has been a good month for opening up this years RPG season.

@BloodyBill

I'd say both Forza games and Mario Kart are way better games than DriveClub.

@get2sammyb

I wonder what were the development margins on the game and coupled with the bad PR I could see why it happened. Its a shame as Evolution is top tier developer and I was hoping to see them announce a Motorstorm PS4 and a downloadable Wipeout game.

Shame because this news makes it seems that once Evolution finishes the drive club DLC commitment the dev will either be shuttered or paired down for the bare minimum of people needed to make tracks and cars.

@Alpha

Nope I'm a big Halo Lore guy, I own all the comics and the first set of books. I'm actually doing a redo of all the Halo content as a Lead up to Halo 4.

@get2sammyb

Which isn't exactly a bad thing. I just want a good story mode and decent multiplayer.

@goonow

We don't know how much it sold relative too its budget. Also Sony in general has been ramping down their first party studios a bit and focusing on work for hire games like Helldivers.

@Tasuki

But a chief reason they're so to speak was because the game was launched broken and the PS+ version never launched. The fact that he game was delayed didn't help things either.

While i'm sure there were super diehard Sony guys who bought the game on launch day, the fact is when you have new IP called Driveclub and for about a month the Club part didn't work looks really bad for prospective buyers. Evo fixed the problem as fast as they could badly didn't the benefit of say 343 and Halo has gotten.

@rockman29

It is normal but those are contracted workers so it isn't considered a layoff because they were temporary. A layoff suggests that this is effecting more permanent Evolution team members.

This sucks, it seems like Evolution was able to bounce back after the bungled initial launch of Drive Club. I was hoping that the studio would bring back Wipeout alongside a new Motorstorm.

It may be hyperbole on my part but I feel that SCEE has been ravaged these past few years and that SWWS has really gone down the PS4 generation thus far.

@get2sammyb

Does the game have the horror vibe of the OG games or is it more on the action horror side of things.

Also how long was the first episoide?

@FullbringIchigo

Eh, maybe for Sony but I'm so used to patch Wednesday. I just find it off that some features still aren't on the PS4. They seem to do big updates every once kna while while Microsoft adds features month by month.

@get2sammyb @FullbringIchigo

But then majority of the main updates have been set and the Xbox is still getting them monthly. Saying that the Xbox needed them doesn't matter when the PS4 is missing features like suspend and resume and as a while isn't as feature rich as the one currently.

Everything expect three of your wish list linked above is already possible on the One and its getting Retail Dev Kits this summer.

@themcnoisy

Evene before this is hitting the market where seeing people not all that receptive to the idea of strapping on a sensory deprivation tank on their head.

GDC should be really good this year regardless.

While what their cereal was some Jump toes mcgotes style BS. (To be fair the game acknowledges that its phrase that only MX uses). As for the other dialogue it doesn't seem out of place in a very hipster Portland high school environment.

My city has a burgeoning art community and I've met quite a few people similar to Victoria. And let's be honest the selfie line was pretty damn good wordplay.

I'd also disagree about the tone a lot of indie films typically take serious subject matter and strange adsurb humor. The heathers is one of my favorite films and has serious subject matters but it moves between that and jokes about dead gay sons.

The game itself is pretty pefrct because not only does it lampoons the genre of film that typically gets praised at sundace, but people themselves. Max the main character for all her hate of the vortex club is super obsessed with her own hipster waif BS so to speak. The fact that every five minutes she has to talk monolouge about how analog is so cool, when she's not even using an SLR and instead is using sort of artsy Polaroids.

I love the game but in many ways the game reminds me of girls without the self awareness.

sigh, no Xbox announcement.

Well this isn't remotely what I wanted in a Dragons Dogma games. Is it so hard to ask for a $60 version of the game that happens to have Monster Hunter style co-op.

Anyone else worried about Capcom's future when they're beting the Farm on two free to play Quasi MMOs that will be expensive to build due to a new engine. MMOs have killed off better companies than current Capcom.

The graphics look good, but i'm a bit worried about how small the levels look. Even the parts that take place in a halfway and the scene outside seem pretty small for bigger areas.

That, pretty paint by numbers gameplay, and fearing the game will lack content has me abit cooled on the game.

The actual trailer as a whole looks pretty hype. This is the excat reason why Story trailers sell games much more than gameplay ones.

It's unfortunate that they aren't working on a Vita game (now is the time for Sony to push the Vita hard as t do a repeat of what the PSP did to the DS). My guess is that the vita game has syphon filter and now we have an open world world horror game.

What's surprising is the software sales where the Xbox One is beating the 360 in most instances. I wonder if its just the PS userbase mostly jumping onto to digital titles. Destiny is in particular the most surprising title the way Sony beat its drum as if was exclusive.

In general 2014 was a decent enough year for all three system and 2015 looks to be even better.

Eh I don't see Microsoft overpassing Sony this year but I can see the gap closing if they play their cards right and if they can leverage windows 10 alongside a nice line up of games properly.

Honestly Sony's biggest problem is that Kaz has done nothing to turn the company around as a whole, and the leaks and just overall dumb decisions aren't really helping.

Why RAD doesn't show off more gameplay boggles my mind.

@Gamer83

My main problem is that fighting games don't typically do well enough even with a big series like street fighter to make it exclusive no matter if the PS4 has a large install base. The only fighter that do those numbers these days are smash and the Netherrealm fighting games. On the Sony side of things, with a limited budget and a parent company on the ropes I'd rather they invest in new IP or if they need game bring back way of the warrior. Plus I don't see Sony putting as much weight behind street fighter or the FGC the way Microsoft has for KI and Halo.

@Gamer83

Acti isn't as desperate as Capcom (for the record I think the street fighter deal is stupid for both Capcom and Sony), but if we did see crash come back it would either be apart of the Skylanders brand (the franchise needs a new must buy expansion especially with Star wars being next years flavor of Infinity), or more reasonable were going to see a smaller downloable crash game released under the seria imprint.

@Gamer83

True, but I'd like to see a return to form, for the more lighthearted character platform/adventure games in 3D. Its why i'm hoping the rumors of Rare bringing back Banjo and Battletoads are true.

Hell I'd like a Knack 2 at this point.

Problem is that Sony and the playstation division isn't making the type of money where they can take a hit on the hardware. They pretty much need every unit they sale to be profitable, while Microsoft can afford to take losses on a major price drop and generous bundle deals for the Xbox platform.

I was hoping they would go back to Jak and Daxtar sometime.

I hate how the big three barley does any 3D platformers these days.

@get2sammyb

Sorry just everyone is so amped up these days. Hell I traded my ps4 in for a Xbox one and I'm still excited. It sucks that SFV may not come to Xbox one but I'll have another PS4 probably come march.

Still its a good and dumb move for Sony.its good as it gibes them a somewhat exclusive fighter, it's dumb since Sony is bleeding money and it may have been more cost effective to develop a fighter from the ground up like KI.

@get2sammyb

Was the console war baiting in the news article really necessary, I mean we know that Microsof money hatting the game was sh*tty, but it seems that Square did it so the game could be made on budget. Likewise Ono has already stated that Capcom is in a bad place and Street Fighter 5 wasn't on the table a while back due to the cost of investment, hence why Dead Rising was funded by Microsoft and that free to play game by sony. Logic would dictate that Sony is paying for the game simply because it wouldn't have been made as a multiplatform game.

So your telling me Sony and PlayStation Sony exist in a few years.

How is dropping the price of an item to stay competitive desperate. I mean if we want to talk desperate on a wider scale let's talk about how Sony seems to be teetering the edge of going under.

Simply put Microsoft is a software company and is used to putting out updates weekly.

Wait this is going to be retail? Thought this was just ging to be a digital only game.

@BornOfEvil

Mass Impotence may be a little harsh, but sony had these problems last generation due to their OS team being so Japanese focused. You'd think with everything else about the system being western focused, the OS/UI would be as well.

I agree with the software development teams being bigger at Microsoft with the windows/windows phone/xbox OS all being one team since last year.

Also I'd disagree with the one big update thing, that a terrible route to go when Android/Ios have gotten users used to more frequent updates through the decoupling of items from the OS itself. (but that's certainly a topic for another time at the very least).

The major stuff that Sony has to address is

A major overhaul of the UI, the gamelist just doesn't work once you have a ton of games.
Getting PSN updates at a timely matter.
Fixing the share button.
