Personally, I give the nod to PS Now as the best deal. $60 a year gives you access to almost 400 PS4 games you can download and play, plus 100's more offered through streaming. You may not get games day one, but there is a good selection of games to choose from and more variety.
PS Vita was Sony's best launch lineup. Ever. Hands down, I'm calling it.
I think it goes beyond just input and controllers. The XBOX360/PS3 changed console gaming more than any other generation. Yes, they brought games into the new era of HD televisions, but they also included features prior consoles never had. The introduction of online connectivity and digital distribution changed the landscape of games. Consoles could now play games from smaller studios, and "indies" became a thing. New types of games could be experimented with and distributed digital...
I think Sony released Knack on PS4 because they wanted a kid/family friendly game at launch. Knack and Knack II were both fun, and me and my kid enjoyed them immensely. PS5 is launching with Sackboy, so that kid friendly game box has already been checked.
Epic provides a service and they put a percentage on the cost to add profit. The thing is that with PC games, you can go to other stores. The game maker can sell directly to the customer if they want to and cut out the middle man altogether. There is no such option on iOS. You use Apple's App Store, or nothing.
My problem was that the article says the original ad was to sell a computer. No, it wasn't. It was to sell an idea. It wanted to sell you on the idea that Apple was the rebel and the free-thinker. It's the same as the Think Different commercials. The fact they were selling a computer was secondary.
It seems like everyone is falling over themselves for this thing. And yet, for the same price, the new Intellivision looks to be 1000x better and everyone craps on it. I just don't get it.
I like the idea. Own the console but not the games. Then if you don’t want the console anymore you can sell it without the nagging feeling you have all these digital games you can’t play or sell.
It’s like a game collection you get instantly. If only Sony had thought of this instant game collection idea first...
I find this amusing coming from Barlog since he’s the one who accidentally leaked the game’s very existence when he had a bit too much to drink and blurted it our during a PSX panel. You could tell by everyone’s reaction that he clearly let the cat out of the bag when he wasn’t supposed to.
I guess it all depends on what the parameters for the race are. If you're going generation cycles, then Switch is the only console out there. PS4/XB1 are in the same gen as Wii U. So I guess Switch has a good head start on the PS5. But if you're comparing it to current consoles, I still throw my hat in with the traditional consoles. There is something to be said about a powerful machine.
Don't you just love it when a question is asked and the answer is so obvious?
Ahhhh, yes. And IDC analyst. The definition of smart.... BTW, anyone else remember when IDC said Windows Phone would be the market leader in smartphones?? I still get a chuckle thinking about that.
I don't think it's because it's an xbox console exclusive. I think that it started off as something a bit different and it got a lot of people talking. That became excitement which turned into hype. Suddenly everyone was playing it and I'm sure a majority of those people are doing so saying, "I don't get what all the hype is about, but it's supposed to be amazing, so I'll say it's amazing too."
It's like what happened after Th...
PUBG is a broken mess and yet it's getting reviews saying it's a 10/10. So TLoU2 is doing great!
Ahh yes. The gamer. Always critical of everything.
After their E3 presentation, many complained that it was too fast and just an endless series of trailers and announcements. Where were the devs talking to make the presentation more human?
At PSX, Sony makes it more human and people complain it was too boring. The constant complaining over everything is getting old.
Not one of these things really bothers me. I have 99 problems with the PS4, but none of these are one of them. I'd argue battery life on the controller is worse than the light (and the light isn't the reason for it). All these stupid social features are promote over giving it the same media features the PS3 had.
Lucasfilm has everything to do with anything related to Star Wars. Just read this as a quick example:
"Visceral staff say that the creative cabal at Star Wars owner Lucasfilm treated them well, giving them flexibility and freedom, but one of the drawbacks to working with another company’s franchise was that they had to get approval for everything.
On an Uncharted game, for example, one of Nathan Drake’s costumes might go through a few rounds of itera...
I think this is actually going to surprise a few people. I just hope it doesn't turn out like a Dreamcast or Vita where nobody gets it when it's out, but then years later all wax poetically about how wonderful it was.
