If you want to do it, do it! There will always be naysayers. The worst that can happen is that a game may lose some of your trophy progress, if it's a game you're desperate to platinum then maybe wait until you've completed it. But other than that this is great news, it's what PlayStation owners have been asking for YEARS! I'm lucky in that I have the PSN ID I wanted (pretty much) from the start. But Sony enabling name-changes took a big fundamental re-engineering of thei...
"Can gamers survive on subscription services alone?" The bigger question is 'can the industry?'
A subscription game service, like with the music and movie industries, will mean gamers spend less on new products. What repercussions will this have, if any?
It's almost as if they didn't get the memo that April fools is over.
With multiplayer shooters they are best when they have a bigger player base - and the way to get the biggest player base is if the game is free. In an untimely move Activision removed the single player adventure from BLOPS4 and made it multiplayer only - however with Fortnite and Apex Legends offering the same kind of thing but without that big £60 price tag it seems very bad value. For Activision to give away BLOPS4 for a whole month is significant move and they are definitely wanting t...
How do you report a story? It's the 3rd of April and we have to read this April fools rubbish.
iPhone.
I don't know if this is or isn't an April fools, but it's reminded me that this is the day to stay away from N4G because this is when some websites post non-stop fake news to be 'funny' - but I guess I'm too old because I just find it annoying!
See you all tomorrow!
@andibandit. Thank you for your question, I can answer it because I lived it. Major Nelson posted a tweet that had a timer until E3, this was unusual and signified something significant. It was an open secret from all the leaks that 2013 was the year for all the new consoles. NeoGaf had a thread about it where everybody posted their excited speculations.
It's way too early to make a declaration of success for ANY of the companies. In 2012 as the Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3 generation were drawing to a close there was a ton of rumours and leaks. Because the 360 had its biggest sales success in the USA there was plenty of media coverage, especially in the US, that took for granted that Microsoft's next console would crush everything. At the start of 2013 Microsoft revealed they would be at E3 and the internet lost their minds with glee. Bu...
It's the end of an era. He was the head of PlayStation and when he became head of Sony it was his understanding of how great gaming is that meant he fully backed the PlayStation division and that's a big reason why PS4 has done so well.
We will always be the fond memories of "RRRRrrriiiiiddddggggeeee RRRrrraaacceerrr!"
For the last 20 years movies have teased us with how great it would be if VR was possible.
I'm surprised and disappointed that gamers are criticising these positive figures purely because of brand loyalty to a different hardware manufacturer. When Sony spent the time investing in research VR they knew they were not going to make a mass market machine, they have said this! But they did it because they could see that technology had matured to make VR possible. So they ma...
Almost 5% attach rate for a brand new gaming technology that is bulky and first generation hardware is actually very promising.
Sony announce the quite amazing news that this 'niche' product has over 4.2 million sales and we get one of these negative articles designed to garner hits. Now, it's not to say that the PSVR headset is perfect, but I tried the original Oculus and Vive and they were both terrible for comfort (especially the Vive, it hurt after less than 30 minutes). What Sony did was design the headset so that it be worn for a prolonged period because it distributes its weight evenly around the h...
I hope this close relationship means Diddy Kong Racing 64 comes to Switch,
Great news! Hopefully we’ll see Ron Gilbert’s Monkey Island 3.
Now THIS is a deal with the devil! ;)
When I saw the first trailer I thought it looked like it could be really fun and I love the bit where the characters are swimming near the ocean bed by the giant skeleton king. However I did suspect the game was dead so I hope this trademark means it is still coming.
@billythepunk - no worries!
It’s been 4.5 months since the game was released so it would be more accurate to write ‘why it took me 4.5 months to complete.’
I’m not busting chops! But better to not sacrifice accuracy to make a point.
I only played the start of the first game. How come the third game Lightning Returns is not included in the package?
