Be amazing if Sony push out vr games with a Sony branded oculus rift....

Clover9044755d ago

One can dream... Maybe next gen, once the tech develops further. Currently the Rift still requires a hdmi cable connected to it. Very inconvenient when you're playing a ps4 from your couch in the living room.

panbit864755d ago

I always LOVED Sony's AR stuff! I really hope they bring some amazing things on ps4 as well!

Skate-AK4755d ago

They need to make some more uses for those AR cards that come with a Vita.

hesido4755d ago

I'd hope Vita's camera was of higher quality. I'm surprised Sony went ultra cheap with those (the sensors they use on phones and the eye is really top notch) but Vita's camera is so bad you have noise even in daylight conditions. That's one negative aspect and affects the AR experience, you really need to play it perfect lighting conditions.

offtopic: Is it up to developers or Sony to implement the use of Oculus Rift into PS4 games?

USEYOURFIST4755d ago

just guessing, however id say it would be down to the developers as they would be the ones who would have to implement options to allow the use of the oculus in their code...much like how on the ps3 the devs who wanted to implement 3d did it themselves by implementing the option for it...however id imagine sony would have to give some sort of permission for it to happen. Really hope it happens and takes off though!

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

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot36d 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…

HectixRose37d 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.

JEECE37d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername36d 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.

Soy37d ago

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

DarXyde36d 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.

Ashunderfire8636d 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.

Ashunderfire8636d ago (Edited 36d 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.

pwnmaster300037d 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.

solideagle37d 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

Relientk7736d ago

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