You really should try Transistor chief, although available on PC too, it is just as nice on PS4 and on a big ass TV with good sound system it is such an amazing experience........erm, I am off to play some more Transistor :)
leaving all tribalism aside, to say this wasnt about money is rubbish. The deal to sew this cool looking game up was made when the industry assumed xb1 would outsell the ps4 so it made sense to switch to MS who would also let them retain their ip.
I personally have o interest in buying an xb1, and it isn't fanboyism, I dont like how MS operate, I beleive that you can not like a company for legit reasons without being a fanboy.
this means that I will never ...
I find this 'winning a console war' stuff so frustrating and it needs to stop. To be fair, I rarely see it from Sony themselves, they release specifics about sales but I have a hard time recalling any instances where they claim to be 'winning' anything.
I do recall seeing the odd tweet from MS propagating this tribalism and as soon as I see a so called 'journalist' use the term 'winning' they loose all credibility in my eyes.

Some of the best games I have ever played were 'Indie' games. How anyone can look down their noses at the likes of Bastion, Braid, Mark of the Ninja and FTL I have no idea especially when you can pick them up on a Steam sale for peanuts!
The problem you have is too many people totally misunderstand what an 'indie' developer actually is. Being an 'indy' has nothing to do with a lack of quality and everything to do with budget. Most Indies have long a...
Exactly chief, well said! People just love to whinge. If a title, remastered or otherwise doesn't interest you then don't buy it.
These remastered versions of games are not competing with backwards compatibility either as I see it. For me, replaying an original version of the game is totally different to playing a remastered version of a game.
I enjoyed TombRaider Definitive Ed and you bet I will pick up the Last Of Us remake and cannot wait for th...
Have a bubble chief, couldn't have said it any better.
This sense of entitlement that people on the web seem to have these days drives me absolutely bonkers!
This is exactly how I feel squire, why people feel the need to complain about this HD remake is beyond me.
If you don't want to play it then don't purchase it, it really is that simple. What harm is there in giving people the chance to replay one of the finest pieces of software ever made?
I completed the game 3 times on PS3 and cannot wait to replay the game in HD, one of my all time faves.
While the games you list were all quality (in my opinion) to say that the likes of The Last of Us, Uncharted, MLB The Show or God of War 3 are not 'must own' is utterly crazy.
That's a fair comment if you don't want to play Infamous however I would urge anyone who really enjoys a good open world romp to play Infamous.
While it is fair to say that its hard to justify buying a console for one game it is not wholly accurate to say you are not missing out either, the game is honestly amazing.
I personally feel that a 'must have game' is wholly subjective.
I personally don't have any interest in Titanfall as I don't like that type of experience however there are clearly plenty of people out there that were itching to play that game and would have been excited to play it regardless of what alternative software might have been available.
I personally don't think its fair to say that the likes of Titanfall and Infamous werent '...
Just got my platinum on Infamous and 1 trophy away from a plat on Rayman. 250+ hours on BF4 and counting and still have plenty of content to get through on Need for Speed. Also got all the single player trophies on Tomb Raider and Assassins Creed.
Excited for Trials and Child of Light in the next couple of weeks and then I have Outlast and Mercenary Kings to start, that's when my mates aren't nagging to play FIFA online of course.
Not quite sure if ...
I was hoping MS would be moving away from hype and spin now they had put Spencer in place. Seems like old habits die hard for MS and there will be another generation of speculating, half truths and when the mood suits outright bullshit.
Quite how anyone can take on blind faith alone, anything MS say I will never understand, have people forgotten all the bullshit from the last year so soon?
If you are going to cook up a tasty piece of fiction you best bone up on the grammar and spelling if you want others to swallow it chief.
Yup, Trials was awesome on PC and I am super excited to play this on PS4 this month.
Along with Child of Light and Mercenary Kings I am quite happy with my PS4 content.
So I told my friends at work today that SynestheticRoar has the collectors edition of Infamous, they weren't all that impressed chief.....weird no?
I was happy for you anyway ;)
Yeah, I enjoyed Diablo III on my PS3 more than I ever did on my PC, despite the worse visuals.
The idea of a console with comparable visuals to the PC version fills me with excitement. I cannot wait to get on PS4 Diablo III with some of my workmates.

Never claimed to be any more tech savvy than the next guy, just responding to s4rc comment about whether I know what I am talking about.
Can't say I have tested urine, just multimillion pound software code - doesn't make me a hardware expert at all.
I also never stated that performance and fidelity were the same thing. These were just two of the things MS claimed would be improved by using the cloud.
I h...
Okay, so show me an example of how the graphics and performance of any given game improves once it accesses the cloud.....go right ahead.
As it happens I work as a UA tester in IT so have a fairly good grasp of IT in general.
From the very start MS were making statements about the cloud improving graphical fidelity, improving performance and all the other tosh when the stories about its lack of power compared to the PS4 broke and I have yet to see a single ex...
Would love to see an example of how 'The Cloud' was improving performance and graphical fidelity and all the other lies that MS perpetuated before launch.
I remember reading some very bold statements from MS about what the cloud would do for their system, ultimately they are nothing more than dedicated games servers and still people praise Spencer's honesty, call him out on this kind of stuff and see what he has to say.
Well I don't care about some of the negative comments here, I have been amazed by the game so far and the gameplay is really enjoyable.
The biggest thing for me to take away though, is just how little the game running at 30fps matters - I am playing on PS4 and it feels like silk too me, it is so smooth to play with no lag or control problems, even what blasting through a city center at full tilt on a motorbike - buttery smooth, I am loving Watch_Dogs.
