Sony rewrote their 2013 presentation based on the reaction to the XO's DRM policies - both companies had DRM going in, but Sony were able to nix it and pull a 180°, avoiding the backlash and acting like the champions of free-trade... so there's that.
Either way, I'm hoping for some clarity at E3... I was gonna buy a PS4 for Uncharted (and Bloodborne, of course), but now I'm waiting to see what the Neo is.
I like that they go first... not knowing what the competition has in-store ensures they're not holding anything back or making last-minute changes for the sake of PR.
I'm not jumpin to nothin' - I played about an hour of the alpha at a mate's place... during that time the only thing we really figured out was that the dev has made queing in lines into a gameplay mechanic. ON-PURPOSE!
It's diversity for diversity's sake... something hipsters can show to their douchebag hipster friends and go "It's so arty and unique... I'm pretty sure it's ironic."
Wait, your classmate's married? What kind of hick cult are they in?
That's not a summary... THIS is a summary.
It's basically the PS4 equivalent of Fable Legends - a good-looking game that noone knows how to play, which has been in beta for years and should probably be cancelled because who asked for this?
I've been avoiding these previews like the plague, but Geralt travels to Toussaint and Beauclair in the novels (roughly 5 years before Blood and Wine), so I think it's safe to assume there will be quite a few callbacks to his last visit... he spent a whole Winter down there, working, looking for clues to Ciri's wherabouts, screwing the local sorceress and trying to keep Dandelion from being executed by Beauclair's batshit-crazy Duchess (Ehmir Var Ehmries' cousin).

Life is Strange had some shockingly dark moments, and it was a game about college girls, so I expect Dontnod will 'bam it up a notch' for Vampyr... Having a Doctor for a protaganist was a brilliant idea - "first do no harm" goes right out the window when you're a bloodsucker.
It's more than a feeling (MORE THAN A FEELANG!)... I mean, it's not as though those Xbox/Steam websites were created as a joke.
Either way, I expect we'll start seeing more PC 'only' titles getting ported to XO (courtesy of WIN10/DX12/M&K support)... I doubt we'll get Star Citizen, but I reckon older games like The Talos Principal, Undertale, Pillars of Eternity, Her Story, Shadowrun and the first Crysis would run just fine.
R* won't ever make another exclusive - those days are long gone... their games sell far too well for Take-Two to ever consider it, plus the amount of $$$ required to offset their lost sales would be ridiculous - more than the game itself.
Same deal with Minecraft - yeah, Microsoft owns the IP, but it cost 'em $2.5billion, so of course they're going to release it on every possible platform... hardware doesn't bring in much profit, but software is a goldmine.

You're incorrect - Sea of Thieves, ReCore, The Long Dark, Crackdown, Below, Cuphead, and Forza Horizon 3 are all due out this year... and Microsoft's approach to E3 virtually guarantees there will be other unannounced titles for 2016.
Define 'soon'... most of the games I listed won't be out this year either.
I was wondering what was happening with this game - nice to see things are progressing... I think I'm ready to add it to my 'Indie games that won't suck' list, alongside Below, Cuphead, the Long Dark and No Man's Sky.
The Prehistoric Era has become a rather popular setting for games - Far Cry Primal, Wild, even Horizon: Zero Dawn has a 'caveman' vibe - but I think Before's social component, combined with the focus on survival gives it a more ...
Hype is literally nothing more than hopes and dreams... think about it - aside from Street Fighter V, Uncharted 4 and the Ratchet & Clank reboot (all of which were announced years ago), how many of the games shown at Sony's 2015 E3 conference have actually been released?
It's been a year, but Horizon, Hellblade, No Man's Sky, Dreams, Nier 2, Shenmue 3, Persona 5, Rime, Wild, Final Fantasy 7 and the Last Guardian still aren't out... and you can't play hype.

Says the moron whose being posting clickbait gibberish (X reasons why we should forget about Insomniac/Shigeru Miyamoto)... Hypocrite.
This is the second time I've seen one of these 'articles' on N4G - the other one was also gibberish with an inflammitory headline (X reaons why we should forget about Shigeru Miyamoto) - so I'm guessing someone's finally taken 'clickbait' to it's logical extreme... Maybe it's intended as a parody?
Either way, it's fµ€kin idiotic - LITERALLY the lowest of the low... I mean, I'm all for courageous journalism, but whoever's ...
If the only improvements are to the frame-rate and resolution then it wouldn't be worth any devs effort - the old control scheme doesn't hold up as well as you remember, the 1st/3rd person perspectives both need work, there's no cover system (adding one wouldn't break it), the animations, the textures... I just can't see a port of a PS2 game selling very well.
But it doesn't sound like that's what they're considering... and if they do decide to ...
"... we have considered it. Blood Money is a much-loved game & we'd want to do it justice"... doesn't sound like they're talking about an outsourced port.
The only way I'd ever consider rebuying Blood Money would be if they remade the game in their new engine, with the modern controls, 'Contracts' mode, the crowd tech and other refinements from the current version... That said, I'd be fine with backwards compatibility, which doesn&#...
I put more hours into Blood Money than any other last-gen game (including Skyrim), but even I don't think it needs a remaster... IO should just make it backwards compatible and focus on finishing this year's version.
Crackdown will be there - it's literally an earth-shattering game... Personally I'd like to hear some news with regards to Steam integration (those xbox/steam websites weren't made for nothing) and I'd like to start seeing some ports of PC 'only' titles (courtesy of Win10/DX12/M&K support) like Xcom2, the Talos Principal, Undertale, Her Story, Shadowrun and the first Crysis (which should run just fine on current-gen).
But what I really want to se...
