Thanks a bunch... at this point I'm probably just gonna hold-out for a PS4Neo, but that'll give me plenty of time to get the other bits and pieces together.
Best news I've heard all day!
Really, you can do that?
I can see how it would work - the DS4 touchscreen functions as 'start/select' buttons in 90% of games, and the speaker and lightbar aren't essential - but can you tell me if it's wireless?
And what's the deal with input lag? is it noticeable?
That'll probably come from Jade Raymond's new studio (Motive) - she's ex-Ubisoft, formerly responsible for overseeing the Assassin's Creed franchise... then there's Visceral (the Dead Space devs), who've teamed-up with Amy Hennig (of Uncharted fame) for a Star Wars game (it seems like all of EA's non-sports devs are working on Star Wars games), but they almost certainly have other projects lined-up.
I think whoever wrote this article has interpreted that statement rather literally... I mean, we already know Bioware are working on Mass Effect Andromeda and an unannounced Star Wars project - both of which could be classified as 'action' games, regardless of any RPG systems.
I figure Jorgensen was referring to this 'secret' new IP Bioware won't stop teasing, which could be anything, but if their cancelled MOBA/RPG 'Shadow Realms' was any indica...
Shinobi602 said Horizon will be delayed to 2017 and 'he' isn't wrong about much, so it seems likely... apparently it's going to be used as a 'launch title' for the PS4Neo.
Amazon just reported sales for CoD:Blops increased by 13000% - it's number 2 on their charts... UK stores are reporting the game is now effectively 'sold out'.
80000 players online, and noone's using it?
Wow, it's been generations since Worms last had a physical edition... that said, it's still one of the ultimate couch-based multiplayer games (you can eat/drink/smoke while you play, which 'helps'), so I'm definitely getting WMD.
Here's hoping Team 17 do a proper map editor... randomised templates are okay, but I'd like to try my hand at building the ultimate Worms map.
I think the only way a game (or any work of art) can be defined as a 'classic' is by transcending it's 'life-cycle' and being enjoyed for years after it's release - which is why I can't for the life of me understand why anyone wouldn't want backwards compatibility... at the very least this report shows all these "backwards compatibility is worthless - no one uses it" types how ridiculous they sound.
You probably should - the last bit of info on Agent came from one of Rockstar's environmental artists, who was taken off the game in 2009 to work on GTAV... his work was solid (he released a bunch of concept images), but he never went back to work on Agent and has since left R*.
Yes, they're holding onto the name, but who wouldn't? It's a good name for a game - one they might eventually decide to make - but the odds of their next game being anything other th...
@Ratchet - While I'm sure it'd sell well, I just can't see R* going back to do an expansion for a 'last-gen' game.
I'm far more excited for the next Red Dead - which I expect will make use GTAV's character-switching and heist mechanics, whilst taking full advantage of the current-gen hardware... I'd almost be wiling to bet money on it being the 'surprise' release of 2016.
@liquid - They do have a certain belligerent persistence that can get annoying, but that's the case with pretty much all of N4G's 'lifers'... that said, their ability to take abuse is downright admirable.
Personally, I think the Rise of the Tomb Raider murder/rape/bomb threats, along with the recent reactions to Uncharted's 'bad' reviews demonstrate a level of knee-jerk phsychosis unique to the 'PlayStation Nation'... I think the worst th...
@Disco - Yeah, there's a 'movent style' toggle in one of the options menus... gives Geralt a bit more pivot, but it doesn't do a damn thing for Roach.
@Ryno - aside from some trouble getting into and out of the boats, I really didn't mind the swimming... the worst thing for me was constantly wrestling with the camera while on horseback - it's okay if Roach is running on 'autopilot', but slowing down makes playing 'cameraman' a chore. ...
CDPR updated the movement controls with patches - now there's two different movement systems, the updated original version and a second, which is more reactive... But yes, the controls are the game's weakest point - something which is true of all the Witcher titles.
Writing with the intention of 'finishing' a story that begins with Sapkowski's Witcher novels would have had it's advantages (pre-established lore, characters, storylines) but it would also of been quite limiting in-terms of introducing new ideas and characters... that said, CDPR have done an amazing job with the additions they made to the universe.
Still, it will be interesting to see what they do with their newfound creative 'freedom' - whilst Cybe...
You're categorically wrong - taking down a Titan is easy... just cloak, hit 'em with a pulse-mine/grenade then jump on their backs and blast away - they'll go down quick-smart.
That, or get up high and pick them off from a distance... the 'heat-seeking' Archer will do most of the work for you.
If you want Titanfall without mechs, you should go play Blops3... personally, I can't wait to get my hands on that sword-wielding Titan - it...
We should probably forget about Michael Jackson and the Beatles as well - they haven't done anything good in ages... and don't even get me started on Van Gogh - that one-eared bum might as well be dead!
I'm all for courageous journalism, but whoever wrote this should be ashamed of themselves.
Yennefer once levitated Geralt and herself high into the air for some 'Zero-G' lovin'... and she has a sex horse.
That's the ultimate woman, right there!
Triss is a borderline predator who once stalked Geralt to a tavern (right after he first 'broke-up' with her 'dear friend' Yen) and hit him with the magical equivalent of Rohypnol... getting him for more than a night meant waiting for Geralt to get amnesia, then spending years spyin...
Yes and no - if you look up the extended-universe's new canon, you won't see either of KOTORs listed, but Star Wars: Rebels' 2nd season finale went to the Sith temple on Malachor, where Ahsoka & co spoke about the game's events and found some Kylo Ren style lightsabers lying around... and The Force Awaken's visual dictionary confirms Ren's saber is from Malachor - which means Snoke and Ren probably went there at some point.
Yeah, I remember the Australian print of Game Informer did an article in the aftermath of Team Bondi's implosion, and it seemed like a real mess... it was by-far the biggest game ever developed in Oz, which must have been overwhelming, but R* were patient - gave them stacks of time, let them go way over budget (custom mo-cap tech wouldn't have been cheap, though it appears they got a 'package deal' on the cast of Madmen).
I say RIP Team Bondi - you were the ...
The last bit of info on Agent came from one of Rockstar's environmental artists, who was taken off the game in 2009 and put to work on GTAV... Last year he released a bunch of concept images (showing a Mediterranean setting), but he never went back to work on Agent and has since left R*, saying "I'm not sure if it (Agent) will be published."
R* have held onto the name, but who wouldn't? It's a good idea for an IP - one they might eventually decide ...
