Can you imagine what the 2nd and 3rd generation of games will be like once the PS4's power is fully 'exposed'
bu dum bum
not to be outdone Microsoft has announced there new kinect can see though ur pants n will blackmail u w unflatering pics so u dont trade in ur games.
Make no mistake; they are in fact in a really shitty place, but have to pretend not to be.
They have a huge PR mess to clean up/recover from, and are being forced to rethink/rebrand a system which was clearly made for an entirely different purpose.
Microsoft's goals of transforming (finally realizing) the x-box brand as an all in one cable subsidized data gathering advertising spy box has not gone well for them.

More like the PlayStation 4 is worth $100 more than X1 and $100 cheaper
I truly believe the metroidvania genre is the pinnacle of game design. If done right it offers the perfect mix of tight 2d platforming and/or combat/shooter mechanics, directed yet partially open world adventure/exploration level design, meaningful rpg like character skill/uprade systems, and beautiful and or nostalgic 2d art.
Side note; The fact that Blaster Master is not recognized as helping establish this genre saddens me. It is as good or better than the original Metroid...
I'd like to see a 3d LBP that places an emphasis on changeable character abilities. I want to be able to create full 3d worlds (a natural evolution for the series), and I also want characters that can be modified with tons of different power ups/abilities (something I think is missing).
I imagine abilities that would be level specific based on what the creator selects, so when you get dropped down into their world you would have that set of abilities.
The...
I'd personally like some more Outland. Or something metroidvania-ish like it. Maybe they can merge the two and make a Stardust where you explore a giant planet or something.
This will be free on PS+ in a quick hurry and I have a feeling no one will play it then either.
Not to sound negative, I'm a fan of Sony first party stuff, but this one just isn't doin it for me. I hate hate hate the generic astro boy art style, and the game play looks way way way too simple.
Good kids games are both accessible to children but deep enough for adult children to enjoy (mario galaxy, ratchet and clank, LBP, etc). Not feeling that with th...

For those younger members the 11 comment is a reference to spinal tap the movie which is a mockumentary of an old metal band. Great very funny movie. Here's a link to the 11 part for ref.

Just random info I accuired in an old psych class :)
Rpgs, mmos, loot drop dungeon crawlers, and open world games are the most obvious examples in gaming although most good games implement something similar in some respect or other.
The thing he's talking about with slots and zynga games is called a variable reward system. It's a well known mathematical system used by big companies to manipulate consumers by creating compulsive habitual behavior.

Don't be played by your games!
Seems Microsoft is going in circles like a dog chasing it's tail. 360 and now 180. It will forever be know as the 180, lol. But better 180 than 1 at this point :-)
Stupid numerical bs aside, THIS IS REALLY GOOD NEWS FOR ALL GAMERS!
It really is a victory. We made enough noise and showed them with our pre-order wallets and they listened; which is a fing miracle.
Maybe this will mark the beginning of a new era, where game companies and publ...
give us hits, give us hits, we're obviously biased against sony but give a hits anyway
The problem as I see it is with physical games being fully downloadable to the hard drive. Because of this (something sony may be planning too) a system must be in place to validate you actually own the game. Otherwise you could give/sell the physical game and download it to an infinite number harddrives.
What makes sense is the system requiring a code (printed on the front of the disc) which must be entered and validated on the first use, plus the disc must be in the system ...
this is my most anticipated game this year. I love old school platformers in this looks brilliant!
looks horrible!
More like logic defense force. lol.
To be honest, I actually do think Sony is the best platform holder and Microsoft the worst. But this is due to software support, quality of hardware, and my personal taste in games (much of xbox's appeal is lost on me because I don't like gaming online. I personally find it boring as hell. I shoot you. you shoot me, etc. etc...If it your favorite thing more power to yah)
But just because I think this thing looks lik...
Hey Sony, nows the time- buy Capcom and incorporate them into SCE! Seriously, do it now!!! At 150-200 million they'd be a fing steal!
They'd get the rights to a shit ton of retro games plus rights to these IP's-
Monster Hunter (prob worth the 150 mill alone)
Resident Evil
Okami
Onimusha
Devil May Cry
Stryder
Ghouls and Ghosts
Maximo
Breath of Fire
Mega Man
