"Analysis" - only useful if you show the object of said analysis as well. Otherwise as useful as a page out of a Advanced Mathematics textbook...
Did we not just have an article yesterday or the day before that said that the game was 1080p on both the PS4 and Xbox? Does this matter in light of all the other shit Konami has been shovelling?
I bet Hideo Kojima has a wry smile on his face, sitting in his new office somewhere with his feet up on the desk, thinking to himself "I am free of those ****s!"
People here are bitching about a price rise that probably does not affect them and in any case only affects those who buy the PS Plus sub on a quarterly basis. There are many deals around where you can get a whole year for less than the stated price.
If you don't like the hike, give your business to someone else who gives you the kind of value you want.
They continue to say the decision was the right one as though they are trying to convince themselves. How does a developer not release a popular game on the console that has the most gamers but also a console on which the game has always had the largest audience? Any business school would fail these idiots! SE has alienated so many Playstation gamers the IP will never have the kind of enthusiasm it once had on Playstation consoles and this fate is well deserved.
Spaceranger, well said!
Sony is doing this gen exactly what Microsoft was happily doing with the 360 and on top the PS4 has so many exclusives slated for 2016 and beyond, in addition to a host of smaller titles yet to come to the PS4 this year.
In the end it is all good as both consoles will have plenty of games to enjoy.
Igivehugstonakedwomen - Of course the explanation does not make sense. How can it when more Playstation players supported the reboot as well as the 'Tomb Raider' franchise right from the days of PS1? It is as though Sony and PS4 gamers said "We do not like this new vision, even if more of us bought the game than Xbox gamers". What a load of crock! Rogers says that Microsoft have been close friends of Tomb Raider since the reboot but conveniently forgets how Sony and Play...
PhoenixUp - "for good reason" - Aren't Japanese devs making 'Scalebound' and 'Recore'? There is no good reason other than Microsoft does not wish to make the effort to get to know what the local market wants and then deliver. There are plenty of Japanese gamers who play COD, Assassin's Creed, etc. and may also appreciate 'Scalebound' and 'Recore' but at the rate Microsoft is abandoning Japan will probably not get to play them unless they imp...
The PS4 has as many games as the Xbox if not more. True, Microsoft has 4 major exclusives releasing this winter but Sony also has plenty of other games, Japanese, indies and multiplats that will do just fine. You seem to forget that Xbox has had NO AAA release at all this year so far and won't until September. The PS4 has had 4 in that time. This is not hype!
Death - Xbox fans are just as disrespectful of Sony and the PS4 and an element of racism also comes into it. There is no need for any fanboyism by supporters of either console yet the tit-for-tat behaviour goes on.
Maybe the Japanese market has not bought into Xbox because Microsoft has failed to show any faith in the market. Releasing a console alone is not enough and just because Xbox One did not have the sales they wanted, Microsoft has gradually reduced all interest to what is now zero. Well, globally, the Xbox One had problems right from the start but looking at the US and UK market, things are now better because Microsoft has made an effort with gamers, devs and indie game makers. It is clear t...
It only raises questions with Xbox fanboys who seize any opportunity to try and make an issue out of nothing when it comes to the PS4 and Sony. How many times in the pasy has Microsoft not bothered having a presentation at Gamescom and yet that is acceptable because it is Microsoft. Sony made it clear from the outset that they are not having a presentation at Gamescom but will till have a large presence on the floor. They chose to present at Paris in October - unlike Microsoft who are also...
The answer to the question is 'yes'. The way Konami treat their staff is abysmal and the way they have behaved with Kojima deplorable. The company does not deserve our support and gamers should seek out second hand versions of the MGS V and then continue to sell it on so as to ensure the company makes as little money as possible from MGS V.
As much as we like the game, we should not encourage Konami further by making the game a bestseller. They do not deserve the b...
"Nailed it" is an overstatement. The conference just showed updates on stuff that has already been announced and gave more information on Windows 10 integration, release dates and the like. Other than a new Halo Wars, annoucements of new games were non-existent which is fine except Phil Spencer said there would be new games.
It was a steadfast presentation but not really necessary other than for the media to get behind it. If anything, it served to show that ther...
Phil was promising lots of new games but what we got was just updates of the games announced over the last two years, nothing more. Oh, Halo e-sports (ugh!)and another Halo game, the RTS 'Halo Wars'. So 'underwhelming' is the kind word here.
xfiles2099 makes a comment above about investors phasing out Xbox and although many will disagree, his opinion is worth considering.
Fries1223 - older is not always bad and younger sometimes is implausible especially where it the character is supposed to be very skilled as experience only comes with age...
Does anyone lick a pizza? But point well made, even if you lick your pizza.
The PS3 is still supported by Sony and if you have a large collection of PS3 games, you shouldn't have to pay to stream them, just use a PS3. I think you are right that Sony should reduce prices PS Now for those who previously owned the game and I suspect this is exactly what they will do, if they want the service to succeed.
You are right about the AI being blind when Lara should be spotted...it really took me out of the game in the section they showed today.
Foxtrot - you are absolutely right, ROTR is beginnimg to feel like the child of 'Uncharted' and 'The Last of Us' rather than having some the DNA of the old Tomb Raider games. If the character was not called 'Lara Croft' and the series 'Tomb Raider' it would have little to do with the Tomb Raider games of old.
I am also concerned at the manner in which the AI ignores Lara even when she should be visible to the enemy (like in the scene where sh...
"Dumb is as dumb does"...if you don't like the feature, ignore it, mate!
