is this like a Nintendo wiiU inspired event? . hhoh mannn

maniacmayhem4885d ago

This will go over great in the fighting community.

Take over the controller? That really sucks, why? What game is truly that hard where someone needs to take over for you. How much spam do you imagine you'll get when people are constantly trying to take over your gameplay or troll your game with comments.

A Social network? It's official Sony is trying to be the new Facebook.

cjflora4885d ago

Pretty sure they mentioned it could be enabled/disabled.

nevin14885d ago (Edited 4885d ago )

Im not a fan of this social network stuff either.

Edit:I thought this was the complete breakdown of the UI?

TekoIie4885d ago (Edited 4885d ago )

I agree to an extent. I think your overreacting about the taking over controller thing. Hopefully a friend cant take over during MP or earn a trophy. Also kind off takes away from YOUR experience... But its optional. I wont complain about what someone else might want since I can make sure it wont intrude on my experience.

But the social network aspect... Why? I would have been cool with a way to link our PSN account to YouTube to coincide with the share button but strengthening the Facebook connection to gaming? What does that offer to my gaming experience?

1nsomniac4885d ago

haha you'll obviously have to request someone to take over any idiot with any amount of common sense would understand that. The trolls are out in full force after seeing how good the presentation was.

maniacmayhem4885d ago

Or they will have to send you requests after they watch how bad you're playing at the game. Which is why I said the amount of spam....oh wait...you're a sony fanboy with their skirt over their heads waiting for a Sony Friday night cuddle fest.

My bad, disregard what I said.

Knight_Crawler4885d ago

First thing that U thought of what when Nintendo was showing Zombie U and the dude was like hey Grampa I am stuck on this level can you help me out.

rainslacker4885d ago

They also said that it'd be integrated with your friends list or facebook, so it's unlikely you'll get random people trying to do that. I'd imagine your friends are a lot better than idiots on the internet, and I personally wouldn't open up my profile to anyone not on my list.

The controller reveal just took me off the purchase list of the ps4. I hate that controller design.

stage884885d ago

Yes that makes sense. Let go of the an awesome beast of a console because you don't like the controller. If only there were other companies that make third party controllers....

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga70d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot68d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose70d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE70d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername69d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy70d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde69d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8669d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8669d ago (Edited 69d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300070d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle69d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7769d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
