Apparently he's 12.

What does that have to do with Far Cry?
Wow. Talk about adding insult to injury.
Wow. That's irredeemable.
It takes time for a smaller studio to port code from one platform to another, and they usually don't have the money and/or manpower to develop for them both simultaneously.
Unfortunately they have to go around the parity clause in the ID@Xbox program if they want to be on both platforms. If they release as an "exclusive" first on PS4, they can then release later on an Xbox platform without issue.
Aside from a larger initial install base, Sony a...
I am shocked and surprised by this turn of events.
Nate is trying to lure Sully back for "one last time", but in context that seems like it will be Sully's last job not the end of the series. I don't believe that's the intent. They've been hinting since the very first game that Sully isn't as young as he used to be, and wants out of the life. He keeps coming back because of the loyalty he feels for Drake, his protegee and effectively his adopted son.
I strongly doubt this will be the last entry...
@JohnathanACE: I think you mean "journalists".
@Docknoss: That is literally the worst comparison you could have offered.
@marlinfan10: Linear != Bad
Its funny that Microsoft only bought the Gears of War IP from Epic after Mark Rein joked with Adam Boyes about playing a match and the internet exploded with rumors about GoW coming to PS4. That kind of irked me at the time.
Don't forget Metal Gear Solid 4. That's one that still rankles a lot of Xbox 360 owners.
I don't even like playing fighting games online when we both have copies of the disc, so it's hard to see how playing that sort of game via Playstation Now would be anything less than a worse experience.
I still think Playstation Now is a great idea, but only as a "try before you buy" service, similar to their full game trial system but without the massive download.
The problem with the concept of Playstation Now (and ultimately also with Xbox One's cloud computational assistance), it that it will be largely a subjective experience that will be modified by your distance from the servers, the traffic on the network, the speed of your connection, and the game you choose to play. The end results will vary wildly from user to user, and is entirely dependent on the infrastructure present. I'm certain that in some cases it will work brilliantly, just a...
@marlinfan10: Sadly, that is not an unfair assumption at this point. Considering the culture that we live in, the extreme console zealots go out of their way to fabricate issues to make competing products look less desirable. It's hard at times to tell if someone has a legitimate issue or is simply trolling unless they take the time to layer their complaint with enough "don't get me wrong, I love X. I play all of their games" boilerplate to quell the immune system of their o...
Wii U online is free as opposed to PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 I think you meant.
OT: A Star Fox release might make me take the Wii U plunge, but a F-Zero title would guarantee it.
Well after the No Man's Sky trailer reveal on the (ugh) VGX 2013 show, both Sony and Microsoft reached out to Hello Games directly. My understanding is that Microsoft, and specifically Spencer wanted the game to be on their console but due to the day one parity clause of the ID@Xbox program, Hello Games decided to launch with Sony first as an exclusive. I'm still convinced that the ID@Xbox program is a step in the right direction, but the parity clause is doing Microsoft more harm tha...
@n4rc: It isn't the "exact same crap". That's a reductive argument. PS4 customers pay for a PS+ membership which allows online play, but it is still free for PS3 and Vita users. Also, free to play online games do not require a PS+ membership.
Sony does not buy exclusivity. They invest in their studios, and their partners. They make deals with third party publishers for exclusive content perhaps, but that's not the same thing as paying millions of dollar...
I think the term that Microsoft likes to use is "Console Exclusive".
Troll much?
I wouldn't hold your breath on that front.
Unfortunately, the way the upgrade program worked is that there was a code packaged with the cross-gen titles like Assassin's Creed IV and Battlefield 4 that you redeemed for a digital version of the PS4 game. Since that code wasn't packaged with the original game's release, there's no real way to manage an upgrade program.
I'm still going to double dip personally, but I can understand why you wouldn't feel the need to if you have the original. The re...
