Me too, I'm pumped for next gen :-)

Master-H4696d ago (Edited 4696d ago )

Well the only wrong i personally encountered with the ps4 news is the pay-for-online bit,but it's not a deal breaker.
I know ps+ is great for you guys but my internet connection is one of the crappiest ever, i can't download GBs of games , so i'd be left paying to access the multiplayer portion for games i already paid for, like CoD (p2p connection) etc.
Also it should be optional , or at least only lock games that actually use Sony severs behind the ps+ paywall and lock the features that depend on sony servers, like Gaikei and sharing and whatever, or have 2 different subs, one for online access only and costs less than ps+, and ps+ for online access AND games and the other online features.

extermin8or4696d ago

Ignoring GAIKAI the other stuff you mention is free though.... it's JUST the online gaming. So most people would rather it be this way so if they don't plan to play online they don't have to pay for the other online features.

nevin14696d ago (Edited 4696d ago )

Even though I saw this coming years ago, pay to play online is bogus.

IRetrouk4696d ago

Depends on how you look at it, i pay for both ps+ and live while one offers more than the other both are worth it . Dont forget that all your video services and party chat are not ps+ required so you can use them regardles of a subscription, sony need to be able to make money, ps+ is deff worth it.

Totao9234696d ago

Sony is doing a great job at communicating and listening with the comsumers!!

IRetrouk4696d ago

Even though most of the info in the vid is known, they explaine the features very well and make them a bit easier to understand.

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

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot42d 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…

HectixRose43d 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.

JEECE43d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername42d 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.

Soy43d ago

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

DarXyde42d 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.

Ashunderfire8642d 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.

Ashunderfire8642d ago (Edited 42d 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.

pwnmaster300043d 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.

solideagle42d 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

Relientk7742d ago

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