I don't need a reason to keep my consoles, because keeping them is the default course of action anyway.

The question needs to be turned around: What reasons are there to sell my current-gen consoles? The answer is very few.

That... thing in the picture is going to haunt my nightmares.

Sure, playing those games will be great on the Vita, but it will still be even better on the 1080p TV with surround.

I'm not saying the feature isn't cool because it is, but it's still the fallback option when the ideal means to play is unavailable (because the TV is in use or you're away from your PS4).

And yeah, I've owned a Wii U since launch. I've never done off-TV play though. :)

You're right, it is my opinion, but pixel counts and number of sound channels are objectively measurable factors that can contribute to a better gaming experience.

For example, there's no getting around the fact that the immersion created by the sound of something creeping up behind you is going to be lost on the stereo output limitation of the Vita.

You may prefer using the Vita due to whatever your personal circumstances are, but to argue that it...

I own a PS3, Vita and I have the PS4 on preorder and yet I find it hard to get excited about Remote Play.

Sure, it's cool if I'm on holiday somewhere with wi-fi availability, but otherwise I'm either without the necessary connection or I'm at home and therefore why would I compromise the Big Screen + Surround Sound + DualShock 3 experience by playing games on my Vita?

If I'm forced to play away from the TV at home, I'd rather just do s...

Am I the only person who ever played Secret Of Mana 2?

The first game may have been good, but the sequel was absolutely amazing. Every aspect of it was improved compared to the original game. It's right up there with the other SNES classics like Chrono Trigger and Earthbound.

And yet still I never see it even mentioned on any gaming websites.

As Amazon makes me pay nothing and allows me to cancel at any time before launch, is there any reason to NOT pre-order!?

Or maybe they need a lot of extra space to accommodate all the Kinect demos. ;)

Those concerned simply have no idea from what a game engine is. They just think "Same engine == same graphics".

Here's the deal (and yes, I am a game developer): Game engines are developer toolkits that allow developers to bring their visions to life much more easily. A good engine should designed in a manner that is generic enough to support expansion as well as increasingly complex assets and content that may be on use only to future hardware, in addition t...

I bought it last night, despite some poor reviews, as I was a big fan of the original Amiga version. I haven't actually had a chance to play it yet though.

The game is CrossBuy, so you get both PS3 and Vita versions for one price. Additionally, I got a 20% Plus discount, making it only £5.19.

I hope it retains the 60FPS and music from the original. I especially hate when remakes change the music, and this was a deal-breaker in the version of Lemmi...

Do console games NEED to compete with mobile gaming? Completely different markets.

The article is a pile of trash anyway. Who in their right mind really believes that mobile games are so much fun that people don't need console games? Games like The Last Of Us are only available on consoles and nothing on a mobile device comes close. This article is on the threshold of troll territory.

It's worth keeping in even if it's just for future cloud-based PS3 backwards compatibility. Without it, you'd never be able to play Heavy Rain from the cloud on the PS4.

As for sensitivity, I'd expect that they're using Move sensor components in it now rather than the older Sixaxis sensors.

Regarding the "Off TV vs. Dual Screen" debate, I'm in huge favour of the latter. The way I see it, if I want to play games off TV, I'll use my Vita instead. Games like NSMBU make the Gamepad seem like a waste, and I actually ended up just playing most of the game using a Wii Remote in the end. I live alone though, so I there's no one around to take over my TV. I'm sure off TV play is great for kids, but again, why not just play a 3DS instead? I feel like this push fo...

I just got finished playing throuh Ni no Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch lately, and I kept thinking how the Studio Ghibli art-style would be ideal for a Zelda game.

That said, I'm not too fussed either way; Zelda games tend to be great regardless of their art-style.

I enjoyed Skyward Sword myself so I'm happy either way, but yeah, Nintendo aren't going to forego the newer Gamepad for the older generation controller. Some Wii U owners might not even own any of the old controllers.

I own a Wii U, and I must say that... I still agree with you. :)

Grow up? I made an observation based on articles where obvious factors in opposition to the headline viewpoint are conveniently ignored and a lot of very questionable logic is used. Arguing that third-party games are better on the Wii U is debatable at best.

And I know this because I *OWN* a Wii U. It's not in my interest to call out pro-Nintendo articles that are based in reality, but this particular one is far from it.

And do you not expect pro-Sony ...

Wasn't Aussie-Gamer the same site telling us recently that PS4 and X1 sales won't surpass the Wii-U sales? This site clearly has an pro-Nintendo agenda.

Yeah, Gamestop is great for anyone who hasn't discovered Amazon yet. :p
