Definitely a very retro look, but I think I'm over fighting games. It's not that I'm bad at them it's just... no, it's because I'm bad at them. They've just never been for me.

Agreed. What's even more amazing is that I signed up for PS+ when it was only available on the PS3. $50 a year got me free games to play, cloud saves, automatic updates, and big discounts during game sales.

Since then they have added (at no additional cost) free games and cloud saves for the PS Vita, then the PS4, and now the PS TV. (and in a round about way, the PSP since the free PSP games they gave out for the Vita will also work on the PSP).

If you ow...

BS. I call BS big time on the "No current support plans" in this story. Not when you have Julian Eggebrect flat out saying that they're making it right now.

Someone is being dishonest here. Maybe they should contact Netflix again (instead of relying on a vague report from the highly reputable Gizmodo).

I remember playing a ton of Jungle Hunt and Zaxxon in the arcades early on. Then The Simpsons came out, X-Men, and Ninja Turtles. Those were all great.

Later on it seemed like more and more of the games were turning into shooters, like Area 51, but for me, Operation Wolf was the only shooter I needed. Good times.

Michael Pachter is not an analyst, he is a hack with a nice office. He is constantly trying to keep his 15 minutes of celebrity status. His time is up.

I think the white Destiny PS4 probably outsold the XB1 by itself.

You can play with the PS4 controller already. That's been patched into the consoles firmware.

Now I just need to wait for my PS TV to arrive. Come on Tuesday! You're soooo close (and yet so far away).

I wonder how this will effect the online games? Will players on a PS TV have a better/worse experience being able to use a full sized controller?

Darn it. I saw the tweet from Tidux and thought for sure I'd see the article up first on Dualshockers. I guess they're not as quick as they used to be.

Yes, brilliant. Piss off your customer base only to then say, "Just kidding!" and hope that everyone comes running back.

I think Microsoft tried that with the introduction of the XB1. How did that work out for them?

Truth is, this was a gaffe, not an elaborately planned marketing scheme. We always give these guys too much credit. No executive would sign off on a plan that insists on upsetting over half your market.

I think people really enjoy multiplayer in games, but when you create a game that is only multiplayer, the experience suffers on consoles.

Titanfall is great and will continue to be until people stop playing. Then as the matches have fewer and fewer players, the game suffers.

The anticipation was that "next gen" would be online, online, online, and always connected. People felt really uneasy about that as the future of gaming, and now as we see how all the online stuff is playing out, maybe it isnt the future just yet.

My problem with it is that multi-player is a heavy focus and that doesn't serve the way I play. I want to play when I have time and can't worry about when my friends have time.

That's pretty impressive when you consider the sheer number of incredible games that Curve has put out. Well deserved though. Fantastic studio.

The disagrees come from the LEGO the Movie The Game fanatics. They can't bare to hear that someone might not want their beloved game. :)

And yeah, if you're already in the PlayStation ecosystem, already have a controller and PS+ (which means you have tons of PSTV games already) then I say spend the $40 on a 16gb memory card.

4144d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

It all depends on where you're coming from. If you have nothing at the moment, then it's a great deal. $40 extra gets you a game, a controller, and a memory card. It's a great deal.

But if you have any of those components already, then maybe it's not. I thought the bundle was a great value (which it is) and had it pre-ordered until I looked at the table full of controllers I already owned and admitted that I didn't really need another. I also already have ...

VG24/7 said Forza killer. Sony's just using the quote because it's complimentary.

Like it or not, nobody cares what the Metacritic score for the game is. So many people have bought it that the servers can't handle the stress.

And soon everyone with Plus will have it to try and people can find out for themselves if they like it or not.

It's actually kind of sad that the bright points of light for both systems is a re-release of Halo games from years ago, and a Smash Bros. game that is pretty much the same as every other Smash game but a lot prettier.

Welcome to the next generation, now here's a game we first released in 2004.

Yeah, unfortunately there is no "misinterpretation" as they would like you to think. It was made very clear that the reason both consoles have the same specs is because they wanted to end the debate and stuff. Not because one console could or could not perform as well as the other, but because they wanted to end the debate.

That's why people are pissed. That implies that these two versions were artificially put into parity. They said their goal was to make it 10...

It is strange that they should remove the online capabilities, but if I had to guess, they probably looked at how many people were playing the older editions online and decided it wasn't enough to justify keeping it. I mean, removing it would mean they actually put some work into the game. Personally, I only play single-player career mode, so it doesn't effect me that much, but for those who do enjoy the multiplayer, it's a bad hit. I just never had fun playing an online game that...

So people are using their gaming consoles to play games? What an idea.

43% is still huge when you consider that Netflix is on anything with a screen.
