PSLS - With gamescom going on right now and Microsoft having had their briefing already, Daily Reaction is taking some of the biggest announcements from the event and giving their impressions on what this could mean for PlayStation gamers and the industry as a whole. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the presentation, you can watch it here.
GG:
The indie gaming scene is thriving. During the past few years it has been made easier for aspiring developers to create and release smaller, but nonetheless fantastic titles. The PS4 and Xbox One are home to a large number of indie titles, and even Nintendo, whose policy towards smaller games was awkward and intimidating, has made great strides to improve upon its relationship between them.

The toys-to-life genre has become an undeniable success, spawning series and figurines from Activision, Disney and Warner Bros. The tried and tested formula for the genre, aimed at a family-orientated market, has offered games ranging in critical reception, and also toys that any fan of the I.P would love to collect.

What a ride we have been on! GDC Europe kicked off the week for us and we had two great talks at the developer event. Both focused on technology (one on sound, the other on tools and sandbox design) and the way we’re making HITMAN a new and interesting title.
And then we drove straight into the, let’s face it, pretty mind-blowing world of Gamescom where hundreds of thousands of eager game fans migrate to every year.
It was a good show, but nothing crazy. Seemed like an HD remaster of E3 basically.
Best show in years
If a Playstation centric Fanboy site is saying it's good then you better believe it was amazing lol.
You can't tell by reading the article that they didn't want to admit how awesome it was. They under played everything, but still said it was a good conference.
:o
That was my impression the whole time.
Quantum break started it off looking incredible and then everything else just carried the hype and kept getting better and better.
You can tell these 2 are total Sony boys when they try to downplay ever MS games in the article. Why even write an article about Xbox when objectivity is thrown out of the window?
Couple of inserts from the article tell you all you need to know about the this whole opinion pieces.
Dan: "Oh, andForza 6 looks like more Forza, but still not as pretty as DriveClub."
Chandler: "Racing games do basically nothing for me, but I don’t feel like Forza 6 can quite keep up withDriveClub or the next Gran Turismo, whenever we see that."
