Can somebody explain the deal with Shenmue? I'm not familiar with it, but I've seen people hyped about it... YouTubed some gameplay and skipped through it... looks like a QTE-fest.

And apparently you could buy Sonic figurines from gumball machines.

How exactly would "Too many things are apps" be "resolved" by March? They may be able to get the various apps to function more smoothly, but to "resolve" a "too many apps" problem would mean a revamping of the whole OS.

His "job" is actually his "trophy-ing service." There are some games that take multiple playthroughs to plat, but there are some that can be platinumed in only a couple hours, and he says he doesn't go for 100+hour plats.

And yeah, he claims it's just him. There's a GAF thread about his lev-100 milestone that he posted in and answered a bunch of questions. Take them for what you will.

They weren't banned for cursing. They were banned for not having gaming content. And let's not kid ourselves and say that swatting at a superimposed flying robot while you BS about nothing qualifies as "gaming."

Besides... they were just removed from the directory, not the site entirely (unless a channel was specifically banned), and it can all still be found on the "Live on PlayStation" app on the PS4.

And Ustream.

Um... wtf are you talking about? Royalties for PS3 games? Got a source?

(PS4 potentially outselling Xbone 2-to-1) + (better multiplat performance on PS4) = (less multiplatform games sold for Xbone) + (overall PS4 GPU advantages) + (eSRAM remaining a bottleneck) = problem remains.

But what about the "local cloud?"

(just one of the more recent and utterly idiotic claims by the MisterXinsider)

Some submission rules on N4G are a touch ridiculous.

Submit the video: no good because only "official" dev/pub YouTube channels allowed.

Someone slaps together an "article," about the same video, with no detail or info beyond what's actually in said video: A-Okay!

Why go straight to the source when you can give some middle-man site free clicks, amirite?

My submission had a cooler thumbnail, too. :-P <...

Yet I managed to get my midnight launch PS4 online and download my free games no problem. The issue was hardly universal.

And aren't we a bit outside the "8 or so hours" post-launch window?

PS4 can't wake with voice, but it can still accomplish most of that with HDMI-CEC. I just pick up my TV remote and turn on my TV. If the PS4 was the last thing on the TV, it will turn on the PS4 as well. If not, then I just go to 'input,' select 'HDMI(Anynet Device)' and the PS4 turns on. Conversely, if the TV is off and I turn on the PS4, the TV will turn on and switch to the appropriate input. And I can control the PS4 with my TV remote.

PS3 has this fun...

Odd that a threat of class action got them to extend the warranty for something that was just "blown way out of proportion."

Cool... where did you get your pre-release Xbone? Awful nice of them to let you use it on XBL without banning you.

I guess Amazon only sold 400-500 PS4s, since that's the total number of all the current reviews, right?

Not mine. Huh. Fancy that.

@idba: Don't forget NFS:R. PS4 has a racer too.

And the only thing "retro" about Resogun is the mechanics... OMFG this game is gorgeous. If it gets a 3d patch, retinas will melt.

The only "problem" is that they still won't let devs access the three hidden dGPUs, amirite? Stupid NDAs!

I'm right there with ya, Visiblemarc.

What makes one console better than another? Why, the profit margin for the manufacturer, of course!

@InTheZone: That's probably a BS figure.

@MoreDelusionOfGreen:

Case issues? That's odd, if the display setup at my local GameStop is anything to go by, the Xbone only comes with half a case. Apparently you have to buy the rear half with all the ports separately. But at least it plays videos. That's all it plays apparently... a demo video on loop.

P.S. Midnight launch unit running great in my house.

Perhaps not... but it makes good games better.
