Game

[Human Snorenado]

some ps2 games were on CD, especially in the early running, Manabyte.  C'mon, if you're gonna comic book guy, at least get the easy stuff right.

Yeah, I had a PS2 that stopped reading dvds, but would still play cd based games.  Of which Contra: Shattered Soldier was one

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Frequency and Guitar Hero 1 were both cd's also. I think it was cheaper to liscence back then.

[Steve Contra]

Yeah, it saved a few cents.  I was working at a place that was super cheap that tried to submit a game on CD very late in the ps2 cycle and SCEA was all "fuck off".  I think it cost the team a month or so and a lawsuit from the publisher.

[maxy]

hahaha

[duckman2000]

Totally missed that Evolution game. Man that blows, who the fuck needs another drab-sim? I know the Motorstorm games weren't huge sellers, but Pacific Rift was a fucking blast to play. And imagine the next-gen mud that we won't be seeing now! Fuck this shit.

Oh, and they did a bunch of restructuring where they sacrificed Team Liverpool to save this junk? Aaagh.

[Shaka Khan]

Speaking of Drive Club, did I mishear the developer or did he actually say the first person, dashboard view is the default and only view due to the game's emphasis on "realistic experience"? Because that would a total deal-breaker. Otherwise I might give it some attention.

[Himu]

Tiesto you are in denial and completely wrong about ps4 having "all the rpgs" on gaf. Did ps3 have "all the rpgs" this gen? Nope. No it didn't. Almost everything worth playing was multiconsole and 360 had the better rpg exclusives. Tales of Vesperia remains the best jrpg of this hd gen (haven't played xenoblade).

[MCD]

RPGs are pretty much scattered this gen.

This is a positive for me. It's the reason I have no interest in the new GRID 2, it has no cockpit.

[Shaka Khan]

I appreciate cockpits too, but only when it's optional. But with Drive Club, since they gave too much attention to aspects such as "getting into the car" for the benefit of build-up and overall experience, I fear players will be locked into it. In the video they showed the view was so limited I could barely judge the visuals outside the car.

You drive while sitting outside the car, motherfucker?

[Shaka Khan]

Listen to me, and pay attention because reading comprehension seems selective on this forum. What good are specs if the worlds created with them are too realistic, prosaic, and boring? Why would I pay hundreds of dollars to escape into a setting that is less amazing than what my own imagination can come up with? That Drive Club demo doesn't show me a place I MUST see the rest of. It doesn't inspire me to pick up a controller and find out what comes next. A game like Burnout Paradise does. PGR does. And BLUR does. There is a difference, if not to all then at least to some. My creative standard is far too high. Too far out of the box. And yes "outside the car."

I wish you guys would put stuff like that behind a spoiler tag, it bogs down my PC (and I don't have a slow PC).

720p is overkill for a fucking gif

Borys has been a sfag on steroids ever since PS4 news started leaking

[Eel O'Brian]

I should say "bogs down my browser." They load fine, but make scrolling jerk around.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Even spoilered, they load in the background.

Borys, stop ruining this thread with browser-destroying GIFs nobody wants to see. If you must, use a non-inline link.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I see sfags have continued their tradition of creating .gifs of boring scenes.

For real.  I don't know if he's better or worse than Cole, who looks and moves like he pooped his pants.


also surprised that Killzone 3 is a launch game.  I hope there's more to the launch, or Microsoft upstages Sony, or I gain some self control.  I can see myself buying the thing just to have a game to play.  PDZ and Resistance all over again  :'(

Sony should have at least shown a mock up of the console

Drive club is fucking stupid, car porn where I can't look at the fucking cars? no thanks.

i guarantee you, with all that extra horse power in these next gen consoles, your fov in just about any game wont be as narrow as what we've grown accustomed to this gen and the previous few... well that is assuming you've been stuck gaming on consoles

just look at killzone 4's fov--you're not looking through the tip of a traffic cone anymore.

Yeah there is a lot of negative playstation articles after the show.

[Cerveza mas fina]

There is no way they will launch a racing game without 3rd person view, that would be the dumbest shit ever.

これからのゲーム機は、単にゲーム機として高性能なだけでなく、システムが基本部分で提供するサービスが優れていなければ競争力を持ちません。ですから、あらか じめシステム側で使うハードウェアリソースを大きめに予約できる余裕を作ったのです。

Lol this guy is dumb

Marginally better graphics rolleyes

[ManaByte]

Watching the Jimmy Fallon live demo I realised that the guy on the left kept pressing the R1 button to shoot and at one point Jimmy even says "tap R1, tap R1!"

This video has brought my hype to a screeching halt. I can't stand shooting with shoulder buttons, it's one of the things I hated most about the PS3 and made MAG unejoyable for me. After the first pictures of the DS4 were released I was hyped as shit, because the triggers looked really good and I thought Sony has had a change of mind and we can finally shoot with triggers. Why else would they give us such beautiful triggers? Jimmy even says in the beginning of the video that the triggers are good for first person shooters aaarrrgh!

It's not a minor thing for me, I play a lot of shooters and I want to be able to shoot with the given triggers. Why make it so painfully complicated?

So while at first I was like oh shit, Sony has done everything right (focus on games, 8 GB DDR5 etc.), this is the console to jump on, I am now reconsidering even ordering a PS4 GIVEN nothing changes. I mean who knows, they might allow us to map the controllers according to our gameplay style. But I doubt it.

So, while my hype has died for the time being, how is yours doing? Encountered any deal breakers so far?

As for the hardware specifications and OS such as Wakebe, achievements WWS was involved Yoshida Do you: Yes with large memory, our request was fairly 8GB?. Of course there is also a desire to use the texture buffer, the biggest reason is because I wanted to have a lot of resident area of the system. Game console of the future

The funny thing is that Killzone 2 is one of the few games that allows players to switch between L1/R1 and L2/R2.  Vanquish is the only other one that comes to mind.

As exaggerated and stupid as that gaf post is, there's some truth to it.  I didn't like it when PS3 shooters used the mushy L2/R2 triggers, but now that the controller is fixed, I wouldn't want to use L1/R1.  Control customization should be at the OS level.  If only sony and microsoft could create an easy method to replace button prompts in-game, like with PC games.  I think xbox 360 already lets you set inverted controls to work with every game.

[mjemirzian]

A PC with 4GB DDR3 and 2GB GDDR5 is enough to run modern games at 1080p with no RAM bottlenecks. I guess something to do with the unified architecture and single memory clock, but it seems like a very expensive solution.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the PS4 reveal overall, mainly because they confirmed you can keep it offline if you want to. The games will come in time, early adopters will get burned/bored as usual. Nothing new for a big console launch.

[Don Flamenco]

now that I've heard the term "coded to the metal" I'm going to demand that all my games are coded to the metal.   If it's not coded to the metal, I don't want it cause it's bullshit, coded to some other, lesser material.

Gungnir, right? That's the best Atlus published game I've played recently.. next to Devil Survivor 2 and DS Overclocked.

I'm switching between Metal Gear Rising and some Super Robot Wars.

don't know the context of what you said is about but have you played Silent Hill Book of Memories for PSV? That game is so not Silent Hill.

I really would love the Durango reveal to just blow the PS4 out of the water in terms of specs, presentation, games, used games and backwards compatibility. The metldowns would be glorious.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Not only that, but the jump would be even bigger

[BlueTsunami]

I'm actually pretty excited for the PS4 after fully watching the conference earlier today. There was a sense of mea culpa throughout the thing balanced with what they could do to fix and elevate the platform. I'm not into social shit but greater facebook integration and moving the social experience outside the console system seems like it could work really well. Also the new Dual Shock looks like a hybrid of the 360 controller (the handles look to have meat to them) but maintaining the petite features of the Dual Shock. Can't wait for E3 now.

On another note, I hope Microsoft or Sony consider the VR future. Oculus Rift support from either would be fantastic.
