I wanna see Sony assert that dominance with PS4, that they had with PS1 & PS2.
They are a very focused, well oiled console & game making company, & the amount of great titles that came from PS1 & PS2, was & still remains unrivalled by any system since.
I hold onto the false hope that people will pull head from anus & start buying the titles that deserve the sales.
I mean, why in hell did no one buy Starhawk, Twisted Metal, Resistan...
Nintendo, desperately need to lose that old school attitude, of keeping all there systems in & out secrets to themselves, & start working there a$$es off to help out 3rd party developers to crank out Wii-U games of the highest quality & quantity.
They need to get there install base up, & that is the way to do it, as if hardcore gamers had a few AAAA reasons to buy a Wii-U, then they would, without hesistation. I was dumb enough to buy myself one for a AA game in Zo...
To this day, Nintendo are complete A$$holes to 3rd party developers, but HUGE inroads were made by EA....Huge, & EA need to get some recognition & respect for how they absolutely, single handedly rewrote history for 3rd party developers around the world....They opened the floodgates, & they can be credited for some of the greatest games on Genesis/MD, as well as every system afterwards (although, they do still treat Nintendo with a fair amount of disdain to this day, as to be expe...
@PeaSFor
"and sadly it will bomb, like everything else other than nintendo games on the system"
As long as they make awesome games for it, then I will use my cash to change that fact.
Nintendo are absolute scum to 3rd party developers...Always have been..I mean Google what EA had to do to break into the Japanese dominated home console market, back in the 16 bit days. Nintendo made it virtually impossible for 3rd party developers ...
How about a Brutal Legend 2 & then a Psychonauts 2.
PS4 = Day one, midnight launch purchase for me.
Xbox720 = Who knows, maybe when is cheap.
I will not be paying for having access to the internet 3 times, with Live & PSN subscriptions. Live proved to ALL these companies, that millions of gamers, are dumb enough to think paying somehow equals a better service, then PSN+ came along & blew MS's theory out the window, by actually giving us FULL blown PS3 disk based games, PSP, PSVita & PSOne & 2 class...
@zeldafreak404
"Flop lmao how that vita coming along"
Oh, why's that sonny, won't mummy buy you one... I've been paying her over the required child support amount necessary, so she should be able to afford one for you.
But anyway, I own one & it is great, thank for asking. If you weren't from a family that relies on welfare cheques & foodstamps, you too could own THE BEST, most powerful handheld ever made.

@Felonycar,
I agree bro, 8gigs of GDDR5 is going to be phenominal. I think these PC nerds seem to forget the specialized piece of equipment that it is going into, & the level of genius that are building these new Sony & MS consoles, & the fact that these geniuses are building a specialized unit that is specifically designed to have games played on it. This is what they are primarily designed for.
The fully trained bunch of specialists that R&D & design...
I don't care if I have to pay as much for PS4, as I did for PS3....That's what I'm preparing for, that way, anything cheaper will be a pleasant surprise.
As I've stated in many a post before, the price here in Australia was a non-sensical $999au, & I paid that for PS3 & the only thing I could really complain about was the fact, that thanks to all the NTSC whiners & whingers, that wanted the damn thing for next to nothing, & the U.S. game journalists &a...
hahhaha at little Zeldafreak
If that were true, he would not release his games on MS's consoles. In fact, I think even his Castlevania new game that he is overseeing Mercury Steam doing, is coming to that little, childs toy, you try to pass off as a handheld. Ease up, kid...He is just another developer that enjoys working with Sony on there machines, due to there excellent developer to platform manufacturer relationship, that Sony seem to be renowned for...Your little Ni...
Wii-U has 1gig of ram, PS3 has 256mb (or 512mb, if you included the side that we were told could be accessed for game purposed, but nobody ever seemed able to do), & 360 had 512mb or ram.......
So, taped together ALL 3 machines barely scrape up to 2gig of ram. I mean, Nintendo's brand spanking new machine, that only launched Dec 2012, ONLY has 1 measly gig of ram, I mean, not even double that of an 8yr old machine in 360. All Nintendo really had to do, to get people more exc...
IT WILL BE A BEAST. DEAL WITH IT.
All you buttpirates downplaying the machines technical leap, are crackheads.
Wii-U, for instance, launched & we had no spec details, until the machine had already been on the market for weeks.
Nintendo, the lowly scumbags, told nobody a damn thing,....but, there fanboys were happy, as at least they showed the outer casing, & a control that will continue to be an overpriced, game GPS & general distraction to what your ...
@SDF Repellent
So your paying the guy out for talking up the company he seems to worship. So, your a cyber bully, putting some guy down, who in your opinion is misspending his time?
He is not hurting anyone with his "Sony for Life" comments along with a bunch of Sony fanboy rants, that are funny. I mean, the guy has character, so obviously you should take heed & try getting some.
He certainly isn't hurting anyone with these comments &...
I bought a U.S. $50 PSN card from Playasia, they emailed me my code immediately, & I went onto my U.S. PSN account & logged onto the U.S. PSN store, I then entered my U.S. $50 PSN card code, & wallah, I had $50 available in my U.S. PSN account, I then bought CS:GO when it launched on U.S. Store.
Simple....If your country of origins Sony is screwing you around, then solve the problem & get what YOUR ENTITLED TO GET.
My crappy country, has only just ...
Maybe there asking mental patients how they view the real world....that would make for an interesting game. Make The Shining look like a f%#king Disney movie.
"Boobs sell."
And they taste & feel good too.
Just look at how many chances Team Ico have gotten. They've made 2 games in 16yrs or something, & both failed miserably from a sales point (even though critically praised), & yet, while Sony have obviously lost huge money on these guys, they are still making games, & not only that, are given total creative freedom to do so. That would NOT happen with MS, as they would drop them like a hot rock (or like Ninja Theory). I mean, MS have gotten rid of developers before said devel...
I am a massive Tomb Raider fan, & I am loving this reboot. The game is abso-friggin-lutely awesome.
They deserve all the success in the world, for persevering with the franchise.
Now, Crystal Dynamics, just give me a new 3D Gex & I'll be happy, as Gex: Enter The Gecko & it's sequel were awesome little PS1 3D platformers.
Excellent... I like it when developers move on from a series, when they start tiring of it. You have to let go sometimes, or otherwise, when your as artistically inclined as these guys, your product will suffer, due to boredom, complacency & general frustration about being stuck in a rut.
This is why Bungie got the hell out from MS's spell, as MS just wanted to turn them into a virtual assembly line of Halo sequels.
Microsoft didn't want a bar of backwards compatability when they switched from xbox to xbox 360, & Nintendo certainly didn't bother with it. The way I see it, we were in a different lucky time when we went from PS1 to PS2 & if you lived in the U.S. & bought a PS3 on launch (or close to). I mean, the PS3 was absolutely unbelievable with having 2 console b/c.
But, we have moved on from those days, & the fact is that the way it is, & is going to be, even mo...
