Speed limit? You know how analogies work, right?
Ain't no 'speed limit' for videogames... How about this - one is like a Lamborghini Countache (wierd-looking and obsolete) and the other is like a Bugatti Veyron (the most powerful car ever made)?

Yeah, there's still a few around - less than there were back in the 'pre-mobile' era - but I still use them for 'private' conversations... as for the road rules, be prepared for accidental 'relapse'' to right-side rules - my friends and I drove around the US and we were constantly forgetting about US rules.

Broke a lot of laws and nearly died a lot... Arizona was a nightmare.

Now that's authenticity... my brother's wife is Italian, and she says Playground's recreation of Nicé and it's surrounds was 'molto bene' (which is what Ezio says when he's happy with something)... as an Australian, I'm hoping for a similarly thorough recreation - not just geographically, but in-terms of cars (Monaros, Toranas, etc), music (Barnesy, Farnesy, etc) and some true-blue, 'crikey dingo' accents.

I wonder if they've...

No, YOU hope... I KNOW.

You wanna bet? Whichever of us is wrong quits N4G for good... deal?

Dream on... R* don't need to worry about offsetting potential losses - least of all with a game like Red Dead - so the odds of them ever doing any kind of exclusive in the future are very, very low.

Haven't played it myself, but it's got a 73 on metacritic... It looks okay for a Zelda knockoff, but I reckon Earthlock: Festival of Magic looks better - plus it's a part of September's GwG lineup - so I'll be getting that instead.

If EA didn't make their deal with the Disney I'd have said 'Tales from the Star Wars'... Telltale's trademark 'shades of grey' decisions with unforseen outcomes could work rather well in that universe, as they could make some of the 'dark side' choices more attractive and 'moral' (killing one to save many, 'failing' to rescue some scruffy nerf-herders, etc).

Maybe temper your expectations until the Skyrim remaster releases... lest we forget, this is Bethesda (aka 'Bugthesda') and something tells me it's going to be ever bit as buggy as it's last-gen counterpart.

Yeah, the game felt rushed to me - it's map has heaps of 'no go' zones/invisible walls and the player is all but forced to follow a certain path from the start because every other direction is riddled with deathclaws... Fallout 3 has a more interesting and detailed setting (that actually looks apocalyptic), has the best story of any of the Fallouts (New Vegas' was far too 'zany' for my taste), more/better quests and characters and just more freedom overall.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, and I'll keep being dead on the money... enjoy the game.

My point is Sony's competitors also try to be different - to point that they're investing big $$$ in some risky games.

Nintendo has Splatoon (a game where squid-people spray paint all over the place) - not to mention Pokémon Go (no explanation needed), TLoZ:Breath of the Wild and both of the Bayonnettas... Microsoft have Scalebound (the only game I can think of that lets you ride around an open world on the back of a dragon), Crackdown (the first game to feature 100% physics-based, cloud-processed destruction) and Sea of Thieves (the pirate MMO).

And those aren't just some cheap-as...

The regular kind... I mean it's not as though Naughty Dog haven't been ripping off Tomb Raider since Uncharted 1.

It's success won't be guaranteed until the tech evolves into something like The Matrix or Sword Art Online - something that 'hijaacks' the user's sensory perception and puts YOU in the game... this first-gen tech is just a vomit-inducing stepping-stone.

Edit: You disagree? These headsets aren't even actual virtual reality - what I've described above is - but the Rift/Vive/PSVR units are just screens placed right in front of eyes... in the not-so-...

You really think that's gonna have any impact?
We've tolerated far worse than you for years - remember XiSasuke? Now HE was a proper troll.

BTW, you're still spelling my name wrong - it's 'PoppinslOps'... used to mean something back when we had bubbles... remember bubbles? They were those things you only ever had one of.

Sony's taking a huge risk with PSVR... you said it yourself - "Oculus and Vive are not mainstream" - what makes you think Sony will fare any better? Their games aren't doing anything different in terms of the way they play or the experiences they provide, so it seems to me that Microsoft are being smart by holding-off on developing what would ultimately be the same kinds of games.

That said, Fallout 4 is confirmed for Scorpio VR, so it wouldn't surpris...
