I hope Stealth20k is ok.
- NPD group don't include bundled games.
- And the one guy mentioned a 2 to 1 sales difference , but NPD is U.S. only. The sales are fairly close between the 2 systems.
I'm a little surprised that 10 gamers who follow the industry either don't know these things , or are afraid to speak up on something. It's the throwdown. Don't be scared.
- hiphopgamer burn , lol
Gran Turismo 7
New IP from Sony -
Bloodborne , The Order 1886 , Knack , Driveclub , Until Dawn , Horizon Zero Dawn , The Last Guardian , Dreams , RIGS
Resogun , Counterspy , Helldivers , Hohokum , Entwined , Everbody's Gone to the Rapture , The Tomorrow Children , Guns Up! , Kill Strain , Drawn to Death , Rime , Alienation , Wattam , WiLD , What Remains of Edith Finch
Quantic Dream and Sony Bend are going new IP.
Tearaway Unfolded in 1 week people , wahoo!
- I'd put GT 7 in the Paris event. Sony is going to want to go big at that conference and Europe is Gran Turismo Land.
- Gravity Rush shenanigans for TGS.
- Santa Monica's MEGATON makes sense at next year's E3. They should do a Horizon type deal - reveal + demo. It's not coming next year , so no need to rush an announcement.
There will probably be another Game Awards , so they could split up Bend's game and Sucker Punch...
I don't expect God of War , Gran Turismo , or The Last Guardian PS4 announcements yet.
This would be good enough for me from Sony -
- Guerrilla Games - new IP
- Media Molecule - new IP
- Level-5 / (Sony)
- Uncharted Collection
- Sony London - Morpheus
Anything on top would be gravy.
It would be nice to know if Gravity Rush 1+2 are coming to the PS4 or not , same with Beyond Two Souls. ...
You missed
- Flower (91)
- Sound Shapes (84)
I really want Sound Shapes.
Velocity 2X and Spelunky got shafted , but a good list otherwise.
There's so many other great ones - Helldivers , Sound Shapes , Flower , The Binding of Isaac Rebirth , etc.
Not everyone has the internet speed , and some have bandwith caps. And others might want to play in the highest quality/framerate possible with no potential snags.
Options are good. Heck , it will probably be $20 a year after release with $10 didital sales.
Are they doing it , or is it Bluepoint ?
Just the tip
Guerrilla Games , Sucker Punch , Sony San Diego , and Evolution were tasked with handling the 1st year and they did ok overall despite some stumbles and growing pains along the way.
- Great (80) - inFAMOUS Second Son
- Great - (83) - MLB The Show 14
- Good - (73) - Killzone Shadow Fall - good post-launch support with free maps , awesome insurgent DLC , etc.
- Good - (71) - Driveclub - a much better game now with free content added , weather added , ...
I'm not too worried about Sony for the rest of the year -
Internal -
- MLB The Show 15 - San Diego - should be good at least
- Tearaway Unfolded - Media Molecule - should be wonderful
- Uncharted 4 - Naughty Dog - should be great at least
Published -
- Bloodborne - From Software - should be fantastic
- Ratchet and Clank - Insomniac Games - should be good at least
That's a so...
I put the line at 70 for a game like this. I read and watched many impressions and previews.
Look at some of these 70-79 Metacritic games -
- Forza 5
- Wolfenstein The New Order
- LittleBigPlanet 3
- Alien Isolation
- The Wonderful 101
- Dead Rising 3
- Evolve
- Destiny
- The Evil Within
- Killzone SF
- Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare
- Killer Instinct
- Dying Lig...
PS1 - Metal Gear Solid
PS2 - God of War II
PSP - LocoRoco
PS3 - The Last of Us
PS4 - Killzone Shadow Fall (multiplayer) - Extended Warzone for the win!
Vita - don't have a Vita
We don't expect that anymore , though. Especially with a game like The Order 1886. We've read the previews and the negativity and controversy.
Average review scores from some recent new IP's -
81 - Sunset Overdrive
80 - Watch Dogs
79 - Evolve
76 - Destiny
75 - The Evil Within
73 - Dying Light
71 - Driveclub
This isn't going to be a manufactured positive hype situation like Tita...
They had the audacity to make a short , very linear , very cinematic , very scripted , action/adventure/shooter .... with no multiplayer and numerous triangle button prompts throughout.
It's a travesty for gaming. And if we want to protect the future of gaming , they should be punished.
Don't buy the game , and troll the game and developers at every turn. Oh by the way , be sure to waste your time watching about a 6 hour playthrough of the game on you...
Phil Spencer loves Uncharted
Aaron Greenberg loves MLB The Show
Major Nelson loves Knack
It is what it is , people.
