The Wii U's current sales are a damned good indicator on the general public's lasting impressions from the Wii. It was a fad pure and simple. Yes there were great Nintendo games and niche games but in the end there's nobody left but the same Nintendo fanatics.
Yes it matters. Frankly it's just pathetic that 1080p isn't standard. I mean resolution/effects/fps is going to be a balancing act no matter what hardware. But with 1080p being the native resolution of TVs for years now and 4k on the way it only makes sense for 1080p to be the baseline. PS4 seems capable enough for 1080p with modern game design, effects, and textures. Xbox One is just not enough of a step up to meet modern standards. Let alone in 5 years when 4k is mainstream and 1080...
PC version is always best. Only problem is Origin.
This dude should just buy a PC
Skies of Arcadia is my top one. Shenmue and a Panzer Dragoon would be nice too. Especially a Panzer Dragoon RPG.
Well it's really the only thing holding Xbox One's hardware together. With just 8GB DDR3 it would be far worse. The problem is the design of the hardware architecture overall. Sony made a big bet on GDDR5 getting cheaper to produce and it has paid off in spades.
It's worth selling there for gamers who want to own them all. Just considering Xbox is a DOA brand in Japan there's no point in pushing it like they tried with 360. Remember all those JRPGs Microsoft bought as 360 exclusives? Didn't help.
That's exactly the problem. These bits of content take such a minuscule amount of effort to make compared to the full game. No matter how much we protest there's always going to be a few thousand sales at a couple dollars. So now we have games stripping down to bare bones content and hoping to gouge those who are willing to pay extra. Everyone else gets left with an incomplete product.
I'd love to see Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth remade or the series continued. That game had some amazing pants shitting moments. Really overlooked game that would have done far better a few years later I think.
As someone who owns both it means every multiplat gets bought on PS4.
PS3 will pick up once they drop it to $149 for an internal flash version and $199 for one with a hard drive. Not going to be much demand when the old consoles still cost so much. 500GB with a game bundles go on sale for $230 online all the time so they must be under $199 on manufacturing costs. I bet it happens as soon as PS4 supply/demand stabilizes.
Personally I'm fine with this if it's an incredible 2 hours. If you're having a fuss over pricing DONT BUY IT. I'm sure it'll be down to $10-15 used within 6 months. So many games these days are 2 hours of quality and 10 of filler anyways.
Uh yeah that's the point of it. And if the PS+ free games are any indication publishers are totally willing to let relatively new or even brand new minor games on services like this.
I'm glad the decision of which version of multiplats to get is so easy this generation. Used to have to look at comparisons for 360/PS3 games. Now with the same architecture and such a difference in raw power it's going to be %100 PS4 all the time.
This entire year for Xbox One really hinges on how good Titan Fall is (even though its on PC/360). Everything else worthwhile is multiplat (and will look better on PS4 or PC).
No Kinect and no disc drive. They could probably do $300 like that. Just would be an even worse console.
The ending definitely points toward a sequel like 10 years later when Ellie finds out.
The Last of Us definitely deserves some kind of sequel of some sort. The world is just too interesting to stay in one game. I wouldn't mind one with all new characters in the same universe.
Unless they totally revamp the series I have little interest personally. Imo they made a mistake paying all that money for a franchise that kinda burned out awhile ago. It would have been better spent on a studio trying to make a new series for a new generation.
That looks downright unplayable.
There's no difference to notice when this badly compressed video has a lower resolution than the Xbox.
