PSX took place in San Fransisco this past weekend and left many gamers watching online disappointed by the lack of major showcases or reveals present in PlayStation’s keynote. Unfortunately, a lot of the mass content shown only amounted to filler and left me feeling deflated about 2016 for PS4. Remember to leave your thoughts down in the comments section concerning PlayStaion’s second annual fan event.
All available May 5.
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
Let's take a moment and precisely think about this.....
PSX was far from a disappointment. I think people went in the conference thinking it would be like E3 and that wasn't wasnt sony's target. PSX gave Sony the opportunity to focus on their small titles in preparation for their next big E3 announcements. I can easily say that PSX was amazing because it gave Sony the opportunity to focus on it lower end developers and indie games.
I was there on Saturday at the PSX. Really diappointed by the lack of any impact game announcement.
-Santa Monica, instead of making the next GOW or a new core IP, is making a VR only game with Zombie an taxi. Hope they are not going to go this route and only making games for PSVR like what Rare was doing with Kinect on X360.
-The PSVR is dull and lack of any initial impact. Was able to test out a couple of VR titles at PSX, and it is what I'd expected, we are still a long way from actual great VR Headset experience at home.
-The lack of system software announcent with big features that fans are asking like name change, Ext HDD support, and friendlist, folders, customer theme that were heavily rumored is a huge letdown for many people.
-lastly, the first few minutes with trailers were great from FF7 to Uncharted 4, but where is GT Sports, No Man's Sky, The Last Guardian, Bend"s new project, Crash, in which Boyles trolled with a t-shirt (he thinks he is Phil Spencer or something, LOL), and the show just ended without explanation.
Overall, I did enjoy my time at the PSX shows floor but the lack of substance in quality announcement and continue over reliance on indies is getting tiresome. Hope Sony can learn from this and make better strategic and logistic planning next year if PSX were to continue.
It was not bad we just had higher expectations.
because they hyped it too much , specially disappointing for GOW fans -_-
