@Family Guy - Well said!
@shinrock - I remember the comment earlier as well. Logically a franchise ceases to exist if it doesn't sell well with examples of poor sales leading to developer demise for devs like Zipper, Bigbig, and a few others under the the Sony 1st party umbrella (its just business). With that said, Killzone Mercenary and Killzone Shadow Fall will be the 5th and 6th iterations of the franchise, there is even a noteworthy novel Killzone Ascendary which has...
Lol! Hilarious, I love it! Now that is some serious sacrifice.
@ s8anicslayer,
In fact fanboys are the driving force behind the gaming industry. The industry needs passionate gamers like what we see here in this thread. These are the early adopters who Sony and Microsoft carefully outline their hardware for.
When I read the back and forth of platform specific fans defending their position and their console of choice, despite much of the name calling and slurs, it is obvious why you see the monolithic corporations rever...
Exactly!
From this footage alone Killzone Mercenary is clearly setting the standard for what it truly means to offer a top-notch shooter on the Vita. The action and gunplay is intense, the volumetric smoke clouds resulting from the explosions look amazing and I am loving the new added armory feature showcasing new weapons to the Killzone universe. The game is looking crazy immersive. I also like the new Killzone Shadow Fall influences like the zipline flavor allowing you to zip and kill at the same ti...
Great find, thanks for the details!
Well said!
This as well as smart matchmaking sounds really cool. I just wonder how frequent will the development community utilize this new Kinect facial recognition feature. As a FPS fan I wouldn't mind playing as myself in COD Ghost and BF4 in competitive MP. I also wouldn't mind seeing myself as the awesome assassin in Assassin's Creed but it will come down to what games will use this feature. Microsoft should push to infuse this in almost every title as a bonafide feature, if not and thi...
Lol! hilarious...I was thinking the same thing.
Sony is clearly heading in the right direction on the Playstation front. With the $499 Killzone Shadow Fall, 1-yr PS Plus PS4 bundle pre-ordered and anxiously awaiting its arrival, I've also picked up Watch Dogs. I'll also most certainly be playing Warframe as a free-to-play title day one.
@ Becuzisaid, I was suggesting a $169 price point but $179 is also very attractive. I also like your memory card price point suggestions, how they make sense to Sony's bottom line is a different story, but hey, we're the consumer so it's all about what we want, lol!
Let's be honest, it's really hard for 3rd parties to invest millions in new unproven IP's on a system that while it is no doubt the most capable handheld on the market, its market reach is very, very low in comparison to how long it has been on the market. I personally love my Vita and its experience and I also agree that we need more amazing new titles for the system. Having got my hands on Killzone Mercenary, Tearaway and the upcoming new Batman Arkham Origin Blackgate and I ser...
Unfortunately Sony's not selling enough Vita's to drop the price of their memory cards as the memory card prices off-set the PS Vita sells or lack thereof. With the introduction of a lowered price point, hopefully $169.99, an increase in sales would invite Sony to lower the memory card prices. That would be a win-win for everyone.
@ RememberThe357, your idea of Sony making the Vita a indie-go-to is actually a brilliant one. Looking back at all the incredible indie titles which Sony presented on their stage during E3, it only makes sense for them to open the flood gates on the Vita as well. With the ability to self-publish on the PS4 indie devs are going to be going crazy on that front and it would be in Sony's best interest to allow this process to happen on the Vita as well.
@ 3-4-5, I believe you and many other gamers including myself who pay close attention to the industry would definitely understand the great value in your PS Vita suggestion, but I also believe consumer perception goes much further. Sure, a PS Vita at the current market price bundled w/ a 16GB memory card and 3 months of PS+ would be great but the average consumer still see's $249.99. That number needs to change first. When selling to consumers their immediate needs are what matters and in...
2 Adolph - Sony confirmed that all Sony PS3 headsets will work with the PS4 so you're good!
I currently use the original official PS3 headsets which are great but I've also been thinking about also grabbing the new Sony Pulse Elite headsets, I've never tried them. I wonder how they sound and are they really better than the original PS3 headsets which again I thoroughly enjoy. If anyone has tried them let me know.
@ Geezus,
There is no denying that Crysis 2 and 3 are true graphical benchmarks running on PC specs however, in fairness to Killzone Shadow Fall, a game which is currently in development currently running in 1080p at 30fps, at the moment rivals Crysis' best efforts. Again, and for the moment I'm not saying Shadow Fall looks better than Crysis 3, but for a game still in development I believe those odds way heavily in favor of Shadow Fall.
Check out th...
We are all most certainly entitled to our opinions but to make the argument that COD Ghost is running in 1080p @ 60FPS as though that suffices the notion that those target specs are factors to support your argument will be severely shot down when comparing a side-by-side comparison of Killzone Shadow Fall and COD Ghost which you can view here: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Nothing wrong with that, hopefully with K:SF you get more than just some incredible visuals. My hands-on says you will...
