"This one might not be applicable for everyone, but the huge push for indies is not appealing to me at all. We are entering a new generation of gaming and I hope to be fully immersed within incredibly complex and beautiful worlds. The main reason Sony is jumping on these Indies for exclusivity is to inexpensively build up the list of their exclusive games. I want to see more games like The Order 1886 and Deep Down." - DigitalWhip

Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
I doubt Sony's push for indie titles on the PS4 will affect first and third party releases, especially original concepts like The Order 1886. It will just expand the PS4's library of titles. Besides, some indie games are simply incredible (i.e. A.R.E.S, for example) and they deserve the attention Sony is giving them.
all the concerns this author has listed are can be summed up in " i want an xbox one so i am nitpicking at the ps4"
one of the author argument which just baffles me below
"I would rather have had the console be bigger if it cut down the chance of overheating". are you kidding me why would they design a console to be big just because you believe it being that small must mean it will overheat. there is info that the ps4 will run significantly cooler than the ps3. the console that had major heating issues last gen was the 360 even with how "big" it was
another of the author concern is indies..... again if indies were not that important why did the competition backtrack and allow indies to self publish on the console. indies provide an alternative to AAA experiences. all the developers on big AAA games you are enjoying now started as indies and someone liked their idea and direction and they became AAA developers
you have a choice, choose the console that will meets your demands
Concern Three it runs 10 degrees Celsius lower on average than the PS3 also it will auto-shutdown to save itself if it gets too hot like we have seen from the red line of warning situation.
PS3 - 45-55
PS4 - 5-35

Concern Number Two - Is understandable but you have to just wait because iirc most of their studios released PS3 games not too long ago so it's understandable not much has been shown yet and as they have recently said all their studio are working on PS4 games and going by history of PS1, PS2, PS3 I don't think you should be worried about that too much yet :p.
I don't even.... http://i.imgur.com/zDcF7.gi...
I am buying a PS4, and not an Xbox 1, but I still have concerns and they weren't even mentioned in this article.
1) Gaikai: How will it be implemented when it comes out (charge structure and available games)? Will it even work properly or will there be too much latency for games to be playable?
2) Remote Play: I expect it to work fine over my home network, but will it work over the internet?
3) Lack of games in 2013: The delay of Watch Dogs and DriveCLub is a real downer for me, since those were the two games I was going to get at launch (DC on PS+). There are a lot of free to play games I will have, to mitigate some of the delays, but it is hard for me to justify buying the system in November instead of March or April when the games I really want start coming out. If reading this you are thinking to yourself that you want Killzone or AC4, or any of the other big retail releases, then you don't have that concern, but I do and it is a legitimate concern.
4) My last concern is only one for people new to the Playstation world, I guess, and isn't something that Sony can do much about, but it is that I am coming in with a completely empty friends list starting over. I literally don't know a single person personally who is buying a PS4 besides me, as all my gamer friends have Xbox 360, and they are getting the Xb1. I am the only one making the switch. I have a vita, but have never played a multiplayer on it. So I've got an empty friends list. My wife and son will create accounts on my system, but I still question how much of the social aspect of the system I will get to use. Again, this one is not a fault of the system itself, but is something I am concerned about with the PS4 when I get it next month.
