Knack and Killzone Shadow Fall will be mine on launch date.

Tony-A3963d ago

Battlefield 4, Killzone and Watch Dogs for me. Thinking about getting Ghosts, too.

Aleithian3963d ago

Same here. Think I'll skip Ghosts though - the dog is too gimmicky for my taste.

indysurfn3963d ago

Am I the only person that caught this?
Okay at the start of this Microsoft fooled people by using terms. Like LEND(should have been check out/check in) lending. Now they are being successful by using the term:
"offline game". Did you catch that, if you install a "OFFLINE game" then you will not have restrictions, that is the condition.

What defines a "OFFLINE game" What if only one game has the label of offline game on it? Most likey candidate would be a turned based rpg.
Heck what percent of games don't have a component of online on 360 games right now? Microsoft almost required it with few exceptions.
If there is a term "OFFLINE game" as a condition. for you to not have to get online.

Then that is a out, for Microsoft to change nothing! Don't trust a company that keeeeeeeeeps making pot shots at your rights. And keeps adding names like "OFFLINE xbox one games", to fool you, otherwise they Fooled you twice! Are you going to let that happen?

Microsoft qoute:An internet connection will not be required to play OFFLINE Xbox One games....If they where not trying to fool you it would

read:An internet connection will not be required to play (any) Xbox One games. see the difference? I don't care if it drops to 199 It is still

taking away my used games rights!!! plus as I pointed out the DRM issue is conniving explained to fool us? This is what Microsoft meant by

they will make this CLEAR. (MORE TRICKY)
This could just be a feature on the back of the box. so if they dont make a offline box like they have a 'online multi player' capable box on the back of the disc it is okay to still drm you to there hearts are content!!!

@indysurfn

what? don't over stress yourself.

the safest route is to just buy a PS4, no confusion, no BS. let the people who willingly want to make a mistake buy an Xbox One.

Jaqen_Hghar3963d ago

The same titles a man picked!
1. PS4 KZ Launch bundle (a year of Plus which extends a man's sub to late 2015)
2. Knack
3. Dualshock 4
4. Playstation 4 Camera

NumOnePS3FanBoy3963d ago

Same here. Knack KZ:SF and WatchDogs and I'll probably buy the Drive club PS Plus version at a discounted price

Roper3163962d ago

you don't buy the PS+ version of Drive Club you get if got free for being a member.

I just hope that all the free PS+ games won't be stripped down versions like Drive Club.

jonatan2213962d ago

@Roper316

You can't really expect Sony to be giving out full PS4 games right off the bat. I think it's smart to give part of the experience so that way people can decide whether they enjoy they game and decide to buy it later (or hopefully they have a discounted single player)!

News is just not what it used to be.....and it's real sad.

Has BUNGIE mentioned what the extra ps4 features for Destiny will be?

310dodo3963d ago (Edited 3963d ago )

I paid off my PS4
but have no idea what game to buy

I want FIFA 14
but all my friends are getting COD Ghosts and I dont really want it lol

damn friendships

310dodo3963d ago

I wish I could.
gotta buy Xmas gifts for others as well haha

XabiDaChosenOne3963d ago

I got a PS3 and BF3 and all of my friends have a 360 and COD, fcuk peer pressure!

310dodo3963d ago (Edited 3963d ago )

I did the same with BF3 as well.
But I caved in for Black Ops 2
gotta say friendships grew stronger with CODing

NumOnePS3FanBoy3963d ago

Yeah that whole "My friends have it so I'm basing my decision on that" is really a dumb decision because they would miss out on a lot of great games.

Jaqen_Hghar3963d ago

Don't bend to your friends' bad taste. A man suggests showing them enough of BF4 or KZ Shadowfall to get them to pre-order those instead (not like they can't change it at this stage).

XabiDaChosenOne3963d ago

I tell my friends all the time unless they are going to buy me COD or a 360 I ain't biting!

kamakaz3md3963d ago

who gets fifa 14 on launch day, unless ur rich n can afford every launch game... fifa wouldnt be worth the power of sony

310dodo3963d ago

EA put in alot of effort.

Ignite Engine. 3D crowds. Deeper Franchise, create a character etc...

Research before you bad mouth

kamakaz3md3962d ago

I PLAYED FIFA 96 WHEN PS1 CAME OUT, IVE ALWAYS PLAYED AND WILL ALWAY S PLAY KILLER GAMES... BUT FIFA ISNT A GAME TO BUY ONN DAY 1, U MAY AS WELL GET A XBOX 180*

Hicken3963d ago

You'll find plenty of new friends on Killzone.

Look out for clan CGYS: Come get YOU Some!

We'll be there at launch.

TheLyonKing3962d ago

BF4! Think the online community will be more mature and better.

310dodo3962d ago

Battlefield just as bad
I played Bad companies and BF3 online from day 1.

Battlefield fanboys are no different then COD fanboys.

My friends are not "online" friends
I actually see them in real life
Cant just ignore them and what they buy LoL

Days Gone, 5 Years Later

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows902h ago(Edited 2h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0071h ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel198945m ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot41m ago(Edited 41m ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw2h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno2h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak2h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy851h ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
