Days Gone looks really meh

in Sony Discussion on 20 January 2019

LudicrousSpeed said: It reminds me of games like ReCore or State of Decay, solid titles that due to the lack of other exclusives on their platform, got hyped beyond what they should have been. Sony hasn’t released a big exclusive since GoW IIRC. This is releasing early in the year when there’s not much else, and as a result, it’s being made into a bigger title than it...

Days Gone looks really meh

in Sony Discussion on 20 January 2019

GOWTLOZ said: It's perhaps one of the least interesting because it's not treading any new ground. It's a mash up of a few different existing and already executed ideas. Not every film, book, comic -insert whatever medium you like- has to completely reinvent the wheel. Sometimes, just a very solid piece of work in an established genre is enough. Also, a little ironic...

Sony should acquire Insomniac

in Sony Discussion on 16 June 2018

Gigantic waste of money. The dev already makes exclusive content for their platform and has a sizable team, so a buyout would be expensive with not a huge amount to gain. Insomniac also have never produced a breakout hit. They've released their share of well liked, but commerically unsuccessful titles and a mix of titles with reasonable, but not exceptional sales. Sony would do far better to fund...

PS4: Days Gone - New Gameplay [Game Informer]

in Sony Discussion on 13 May 2018

Pros: nice graphics, amazing atmosphere and locations, decision making elements and characters (good not great) Cons: Fade to black screens, running animation, lack of animation when picking things up, the way the things you pick up look, the gunplay (its a bit soft, lacks impact particulary the crossbow), the way it almost looks like he was getting spammed by zombie hugs, dropped...

Nah, those obsessed with old people music are the ones embarassing themselves :-P Thats actually an incredibly immature response, im surprised,your profile says you're 26. Enlighten us, when does music become old timey, what timeframe?...

Feelings about Uncharted 4?

in Sony Discussion on 19 April 2018

Best game ever made. It definitely has a few pacing issues, but the gameplay is tight, I loved the flashback scenes, the story is good, characters are excellent and the game is just exploding with detail. The craftsmanship is unrivalled. Even 10 playthroughs in you notice new things....

Fortnite hits 3.4m Concurrent players!

in Gaming Discussion on 09 February 2018

LudicrousSpeed said: Plerpy_ said: Not only is Fortnite free but it's also, in my personal opinion, a better product than PUBG. And I think more and more people are having the same opinion. It’s free. It takes 3 platforms to exceed PUBG numbers on one. When it launches on PS4 the numbers are going to skyrocket. I know it’s natural to compare them, but they really...

NPD: Playstation 4 was the Best Selling Console of 2017 in the U.S.

in Gaming Discussion on 21 January 2018

quickrick said: newwil7l said: This. MS literally handed them the market on a silver platter and the PS4 isn't even that far ahead of the XBO. sony gave them a market with ps3, and there mistakes took a long time to correct, unlike xbone, which fixed them right away. That's ignoring the massive efforts MS made to increase the product appeal for the...

NPD: Playstation 4 was the Best Selling Console of 2017 in the U.S.

in Gaming Discussion on 19 January 2018

FIT_Gamer said: In this way, PS4 reaffirms its title as the most sold console in this generation and continues to dominate a market as important as the US. It has a 3m lead over it's main competitor which has had a myriad of problems since launch from marketing, to pricing and software. I'd hardly consider it dominating consider all the cards landed in their favour. In fact it's...

xMetroid said: Dallinor said: No, you just have to realise there really are a huge number of gamers who have no interest at all in buying Nintendo platforms. I'd play a Nintendo game if it was put in front of me (and enjoy it), or If I arrived at a house with other people playing I'd join in, but I'd never actually go out and buy one. There's just far more appealing stuff on the...

If GTA will be set in Europe....

in Gaming Discussion on 15 January 2018

OdinHades said: Frankfurt, Germany. Most beautiful city in europe. But honestly I really don't care too much where GTA takes place. Really? I wouldn't even put it in the top 20. A modern city centre with no personality that clashes with the old surrounding areas. It doesn't even look particularly German with 80% of it rebuilt after the war. Take a look at places like Bergen-...

xMetroid said: Right, the "I don't like Nintendo games" is the new excuse nowadays. It's like Metroid/Zelda/Kirby are all the same artstyle, type of game and everything. Seriously we all know these people only play games for how "cool" it can make them look, they don't really care about the rest. No, you just have to realise there really are a huge number of gamers who have no...

CartBlanche said: Wow the kid is annoying. And the constant "Yes sir" just comes across as pathetic. A child can still be respectful without resorting to calling someone sir. Just as they can call you sir and be disrespectfu at the same time. It's 2018 sir isn't needed anywhere. We aren't uneducated serfs. I'm just really not sure you're serious....

PortisheadBiscuit said: Something about Nintendo doing well always riles people up. Same happened during the Wii/DS era lol That's group think, and an 'us vs them' mentality. Take Nintendo out of the equation and try to consider for a little bit why you think that might be the case....

NintendoPie said: DonFerrari said: A console selling better because it's better is one of the worst reasonings you ever saw? The fundamentals of the reasoning are flawed. The Switch has had a better first year as a games console than multiple years of the XBO, and anyone with a sense of clarity can tell that, going forward, the Switch will continue to have better games...

SONY highlights their 2018 games

twintail said: Colocho said: Great trailer, but where is Days Gone?? I thought it was a 2018 title?? When was it ever 2018? At the Playstation Experience. Yoshida-san mentioned that Days Gone will come in 2018. This is the first time that a Sony executive actually announces a release year for the game. Yoshida-san has been playing the title. While...

Just looking at totals, PS4 reaches 27 million in Europe, should will pass the SNES (22.88m) in NA next week and will reach over 12 million in ROTW. Interesting to see if it can pass the Wii in EU next year, I think it probably will. ...

PS4 worldwide sales top 70.6 million, PlayStation VR tops two million

in Sales Discussion on 07 December 2017

Intrinsic said: you doing it wrong the second you start comparing across generations like that. so many different factors can slant your results. The Xbox brand as a whole is significantly much better competition in NA to the PS4 than it was to the PS2. you should also compare it to how it's faring against it's last console. Which in this case is the PS3. The 360 dominated NA...

PS4 worldwide sales top 70.6 million, PlayStation VR tops two million

in Sales Discussion on 07 December 2017

wings said: Dallinor said: Interesting to note that the Japanese market has contracted significantly since the PS1/PS2 era and that the PS4 is not exactly hitting a home run in NA (comparitively to the PS2, Wii or 360). So it's appeal as a brand has weakened in some markets, while growing stronger in others. X is legit competition in NA. PS4 has an actual fight on its...
