A review regarding the PS4 announcement and how it was all abit weird and awkward.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
Games Asylum: "It seems reasonable to suggest most people have a preferred takeaway establishment. The one that you always find yourself coming back to, much to your waistline’s despair. Should that takeaway temporarily close, you’ll doubtlessly have to expand horizons and go elsewhere. Sure, the food from a second choice might be palatable, but it’s never the same, lacking in zest. This analogy can be applied to the 3D Realms published WRATH. It’s powered by a modified version of the Quake engine, and even plays like ID’s masterful shooter at times, but it’s lacking that all important crunchiness. It isn’t completely soggy, but there’s not much bite either."
"The Cracow-based (Poland) indie games publisher Feardemic and Málaga-based (Spain) indie games developer Under the Bed Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their folk horror 2D point-and-click adventure “Tales From Candleforth.“, is now available for PC (via Steam and GOG) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores" - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It certainly wasn't perfect but they got their message out loud and clear, the PS4 will be a pure GAMING machine.
Beastly specs aside Sony carved out a graphic vision for their new platform, a promise of gamer focus, ease of development and enhaced networking capabilities.
alright?? It was KICK A$$
I would have preferred if they showed the PS4 but it doesn't really matter.
It could look like a hobo with a disc slot on his forehead for all i care.
They showed gameplay footage, and that is what's important.
It was a excellent presentation.
Sony's building hype thanks to their excellent presentation. 24 Million people have viewed the PS4 announcement trailer, and all without showing off the actual console. They showed what mattered, the controller and launch games.
