For the record, I did tweet Jonthan Blow, and he did answer:
I asked "@Jonathan_Blow , I just wanted to ask if you were aware that Amazon UK has The Witness listed as 55 pounds, and if that was what you expect?"
His response: "They are just making up prices like they always do."
@pekoli, You can try tweeting Jonathan Blow and asking him. I might consider asking him myself. I was not under the impression that this was a full disc release, and that it was more of a discount release. I would have guessed $20.00 American.
Jonathan Blow might not always say things that make the masses happy, but Braid is my all time favorite indie game, and it was so good, I would buy whatever his next game is on faith alone. I consider it my biggest must buy (probably timed) exclusive for the PS4.
There are plenty of cool multiplats coming to the PS4, so if you say the most exciting PS4 games in a list, multiplats would be eligible. And don't call me Shirley.
My top 5:
The Division, Destiny, Watchdogs, The Witcher 3, and The Witness.
Of all the launch day exclusives for both consoles, the one that I want the most is Dead Rising 3. However, I am getting a PS4, so I won't be able to play it. In the first year, almost every next gen game I want is going to both systems:
Destiny, The Division, Watch Dogs, Witcher 3, Lords of The Fallen, Dragon Age Inquisition, The Crew, Assassin's Creed IV and Mirrors Edge. The only PS4 exclusives I plan on are The Witness, Infamous Second Son, Octodad, and The Order: 1886. ...
Well, if it is written down then its gotta be true. Right? /s
Seriously, how many articles are we going to get from an individual website saying a game is exclusive, or listing a placeholder as a release date?
My list of games that I will buy or have piqued my interest to look into buying:
The Division,
Watch Dogs
Destiny
The Witcher 3
The Witness
Deep Down
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Lords of the Fallen
The Order: 1886
Mirror's Edge
Assassin's Creed IV
The Crew
Infamous Second Son
Octodad
Plus (pun intended), I'll be getting PS Plus gam...
AC IV is before Aveline's time, but the Animus allows you to go into other people in different times. See my post above for more details.
The gamespot version of this stor yexplains a little more:
"While the main plot of Assassin's Creed IV is set before the events of Assassin's Creed III and its Vita spin-off Liberation, Aveline's missions take place after the conclusion of her previous game. “It’s a ways forward so Aveline is a bit older,” said lead writer Darby McDevitt on the Ubisoft blog.
“It’s not directly related to the end of her story. If Assassin’s Creed IV is li...
I am coming in from an Xbox 360 this gen to PS4 next gen, so I would be more at home with bumper/shoulder and trigger instead of L1, L2, R1, and R2. I can understand PS3 people not wanting the rename, but if they are switching to actual triggers, I think the name changes would make sense.
@iamnsuperman: What is wrong with listening to heavy metal?
Definitely my favorite White Zombie song. I am liking the track list so far. Keeping my eye on this and Band Fuse as well.
I know everybody seems to hate it it, and I understand why they do. However, after the bugs got fixed (as I recall it took a month or two), I really enjoyed the game. I never play online multiplayer shooters. EVER. I tried gears of war MP and maybe one other early on. Even though I beat Gears 1 on the hardest difficulty setting, I was constantly dieing, often seemingly instantly and out of nowhere. I had to deal with teammates who would kill me, tell me I sucked, then boot me out of the...
When I saw the reveal, I figured I'd have no use for it. I certainly won't share my footage to facebook. However, I thought about it, and I think it would be cool to share certain footage of my games with my son or him share with me if something cool happens when we aren't watching the other play. From the UI videos, it looks like you can see shared videos on the PS4 directly, and that is the only place I would watch a video. If I logged on and saw my son shared something, I w...
I don't know, I don't have a PS3, so I don't know about PS3's full game trials. On PS3, could you have downloaded and played the full version of The Last of Us on the day it came out and seen if you liked it and wanted to buy it? If so, then I guess it would be the same thing. I am switching over, I live in an Xbox house right now, but I am going to PS4 next gen.
I would imagine it was something new because of the way he talked about it, but maybe it was ...
There was one feature they talked about during the initial reveal conference that I haven't really heard about since, but I thought was an awesome feature: (I am pretty sure it was the head of Gaikai who said) You can download any game and play it for a while without paying for it. If you enjoyed it, you could then buying. The quote was something along the lines of 'Play all the games, and buy the games you truly love.' That is so much better than the demos we get now. Its th...
I think it would still be possible to port your save to the new game if they wanted to. They could upload the save to the BioWare website, and then download back to the new system. Granted, that would take some work on their part, but if they want to do it, they can. It would be cool if they did, because the characters I made were unique to my story, and it would be disappointing to see the Champion and the Warden in the next installment completely differnet than the characters I played in...
Xbox One might look like that, but no chance the Wii U does (I didn't even know this was coming to the Wii U)
By picking games we want announced, it pretty much has to be sequels, because we can't want games we don't know about. I'd like some original IPs. But if I had to pick sequels, I guess my top 5 would be:
1) Portal 3
2) Borderlands 3
3) Rockband 4
4) Baldurs Gate 3
5) Gabriel Knight 4
I certainly don't expect any of these to be announced, though.
Exactly what I was thinking. Changing the date to coming soon is not confirmation that 11/5 is not the date (sorry for the double negative). It may very well not come out on 11/5, but this wasn't confirmation of that. Saying 'The Xbox One will not be coming out on 11/5' would be confirmation that it is not coming out on 11/5.
