Can't wait to try this out!

FamilyGuy3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

From the article (#4):
"With its new touchpad, the DualShock 4 offers even more possibilities for David Cage‘s next ‘interactive drama’, Beyond: Two Souls – swiping, clicking or even scrawling out words and pictograms with a finger tip"

Did I miss something? This is called the official playstion magazine yet they think Beyond is a PS4 game? Was it announced as coming to PS4 as well?
This isn't the first time I've seen this mistake either so I really am curious now.

Seems pretty poorly researched from the supposed "official" playstation magazine. :/

stage883901d ago

I reckon it will turn up on PS4.

FamilyGuy3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

-_-

What indication is there of it being on PS4?
It's a PS3 exclusive and the tech they've created for a PS4 title goes way beyond what's seen in Beyond two souls. Porting it seems pointless when they're already starting/about to start on a brand new title for PS4 using the Dark Sorcerers engine.

I really don't see that happening and I think the writer of this article needs to do his job better.

Cant wait to see how MM implements the touch pad into the next littlebigplanet

iamnsuperman3901d ago

The touchscreen was one of the reasons (of course they are other reasons) why LBP Vita is the best in the series. I hope LBP3 (or whatever it is called) uses this feature. Perfect fit

awesomeperson3901d ago

Heavily rumoured Sumo Digital is developing LBP3.
MM have a new IP, which is always welcome (as much as I like LBP, I feel as if their creativity is somewhat hampered being tied to a single IP). Can't wait to see what they do though.

AllroundGamer3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

what interests me most is - can you use the DS4 on a PC through bluetooth or USB? {without the need of any special driver like with the DS3)

stage883901d ago

Hopefully, then it would be the ultimate PC gamepad as well.

patsrule3163901d ago

I think # 6 sounds the most interesting to me. If you can make a game with split screen/ couch co-op and have the two players hear different things, that has some potential to be really cool. I hope some creative developers come up with some awesome ideas in that area.

IcicleTrepan3901d ago

I think the new controller is great, but I don't like the dumb light on the back of it. It's going to reflect on the TV and be annoying. Also the light will be largely useless since most people won't bother with the camera. I hope there's a way to turn the light off to save battery and so it won't reflect off the TV/walls.

iamnsuperman3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

Unless you play your games with your face touching the TV screen the reflecting thing is a non issue. You will not be able to see it when you are playing a game. I have a bright alarm clock (which for some reason I cannot turn off) and that doesn't reflect of my TV screen. The walls is another matter (if you are playing in the dark but the TV screen itself will be bright anyway).

Also the light bar uses LEDs so it shouldn't drain the battery by anything noticeable as LED uses a very low amount of power.

IcicleTrepan3901d ago

I still don't think it would hurt to allow me to turn it off if I don't like it.

Brix903901d ago

Look at the bright side if you can't find you controller look for the light it will be easier to find in the dark.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5063d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5063d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5063d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
