When PlayStation Home was first announced I remember being really excited about it and what it would mean for gaming! The reality was that Sony didn't have a clear idea of what it should be and the experience was affected by constant loading of new areas.
Before Christmas when I heard it was closing I decided to pop my head in a few times and I began to see it with a slightly less judgemental perspective. Home effectively was a big 3D chatroom with some play areas.
For the UK this will be 11pm British Summer Time.
After the delay of Zelda I have a feeling that there will be at least one nice surprise!
Septic, I think I get what you are saying about gamers having phases. For me, it's not that I stop enjoying games, it's just that sometimes real world stuff happens like work and family which leaves no time for gaming.
Ben Kuchera said: "I was forced to admit that the problem wasn't the selection of games on the market, but my own need to get away from playing games for a bit. It seems like every year or two I hit a few weeks, or even a month or so, when gaming as a whole just doesn't feel enjoyable."
This doesn't surprise me one bit. When I read his articles his heart never seemed to be in it - to be honest I don't think it ever was.
I absolutely ...
@OtakuDJK1NG. That's right. Just speculating/ wishful thinking! Also, the video goes on to mention the Wii U two or three times so he is underlining that it will be a Wii U game.
@deadpoolio316 That's disappointing but we're thinking the same thing, maybe Zelda has been delayed to be an NX launch title - and with good reason. Launching a new console is hard enough, Nintendo want to make sure they come out swinging with at least one triple-A game at launch. A new Nintendo and a new Zelda together would be a genuinely exciting event.
@Blues Cowboy. Thank you, it's always nice to have good feedback!
But, I've got to say what I love most is playing Vita games on my HDTV with a DualShock 4. It's more comfortable for me, and the visuals of games like Dragon's Crown and Freedom Wars really open up and you notice so much more detail. And if ever you travel, you've got a nifty little console to connect to the TV. Just remember to pack a DualShock!
That's a really good price!
@aCasualGamer. Reasons for using it are:
* Play many (but not all) Vita games on a big screen.
* PS4 Remote Play. Have access to your PS4 whilst in a different room.
Here's my explanatory video about it. If you have the time check it out it should answer a lot of questions!

In GTA V hearing phone conversations through the DualShock 4 is pretty cool. It just makes the game seem that much more immediate. It's little touches like this and force feedback that bring you more into the game.
It's good that Microsoft are offering double the amount of games and I hope they make it a regular thing!
"The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are likely to be the last dedicated games consoles as we know them, according to the boss of Twitch TV."
Ha ha ha! Let me tell you something now, and I'm no sage. There WILL be one more 'traditional' generation at least. Just last week Nintendo revealed the NX. Sony have sold over 21 million PS4s, PlayStation is their core business and you can bet there will be a PS5. And i'm pretty sure Microsoft are in the console b...
Nice info about the inspirations that influenced the graphics.
I think it's very unlikely this will happen. Traditionally Nintendo have only ever released one Kart game per console and the games tend to have a long shelf life. The Wii U version is relatively new (less than a year) it looks great in HD and is still having extra content released as DLC. I think it will be a long wait until the NX so just try and enjoy 8 and become an expert at it!
"Simonetta was asked whether he regretted missing out on No Man’s Sky: “That’s an interesting question… Look, last week we announced we were working with Frontier on Elite."
It's illuminating to see that he answers Elite: Dangerous, and it suggest that Microsoft bought the exclusive for XBO owners to have their own alternative to No Man's Sky.
I've played a little bit Elite and it's a great game but it seems more sim like than the more ...
I genuinely think a future iteration of HoloLens could be successful especially with education and business. However right now, the market of manufacturers and software developers are working on VR for leisure (games). This includes Oculus, Valve and Sony and the many companies producing games. The benefit is that VR research can be swapped from one platform to another. So if a developer gets VR game Adrift working on Morpheus then it can easily be converted to Oculus. This means VR has a re...
Aaaarghhh!
I've been looking forward to Uncharted 4 for a very long time and all the previews reveal such promise. Of course no one wants to wait longer, but if the developers need more time to make sure the game has that triple-A polish then that's fine by me.
I'm really glad this game is coming West. I've been watching a few people play on PS4 and it looks a lot of fun - I really hope there is an option to play with the original Japanese voice track.
Quantum Break strikes me as being designed to be cinematic and perhaps the developers saw the reaction to The Order 1886 and want to learn from the criticisms it received.
Besides mentioning the obvious game...
Personally I'd love to see a Final Fantasy XII remake. It was the last FF for PS2. It had some fantastic character and costume designs (Fran!) and I loved the feel of the game. I started playing it on my PS3 but compatibility issues meant I couldn't finish it so it would be so great to revisit this world.
First Gakai and now OnLive, that's a lot of investment in cloud gaming. Sony must really see it as playing a big part in the future of gaming.
I used OnLive console about 4 years ago and it worked ok. I'm waiting for PS Now to come to Europe to test a more modern implementation!
