Lackluster Line Up

Thats highly debatable to be honest and as I've said on multiple articles the sites giving Killzone SF low scores are the ones who gave COD Ghosts higher. Logic fails right there...

Hardware Problems

It's the internet...totally exaggerated

http://n4g.com/news/1393859...

I think with all the good press Sony and the PS4 has gotten sites now want to watch them burn so they can report on it. I mean what can they say if it does well like they've been talking about for months.

The_Ozymandias3812d ago

Here's a question, why does a %0.2 failure get blown up to be the next RROD?

Double_O_Revan3812d ago

Because Xbox fans need something to grasp on to. Because theres NNOOOO way the Xbox One won't have Any failures.

The_Ozymandias3812d ago

Yet a lot of these same fans are embarrassed to recall the fact that the Xbox 360 failure rate peaked at 56% last generation....thats literally 560 failures for ever 1000 consoles vs. 2 out of every 1000 on PS4.

PurpHerbison3812d ago

The lineup honestly is lackluster. But that is usually how launches go. Better games will come for sure.

@puppy farts

I actually think ms has a better launch line up for sure but i just recently decided to go ps4 for that exact reason....

"Do people really think Sony won't come through down the line"

started slow for ps3 but a couple years in, they just kept on delivering. the amount of quality exclusives just became badly lopsided toward the end and even now, sony is still delivering where MS mostly dropped 360 software support aside from a handful of downloadable games. to top it all off, jrpgs and rpgs in general are my fav and sony will get most of those as well this gen im sure

eventually ill get both systems as each def have franchises i enjoy but this gen, ps4 is my main console with x1 being my side/multimedia console. 360 was my main this time with ps3 playing the supporting role.

Sideras3812d ago

Too be fair the lineup is much better than before. The Xbox One might have more exclusive retail games but many seem to forget about Planetside 2 for instance.

I'll be enjoying AC4 and pick up Watch Dogs next year, grab some indie games and wait for their heavy hitters.

The PS3 was collecting dust for years and they had no momentum back then now they are going stronger, I doubt they'll dissapoint now when they managed to save the PS3 that was looking like a complete disaster.

DEAD-DEVIL-DISCO3812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

lackluster to some. but for others there are a few popular franchises at launch. i like nba and battlefield myself. others and i mean a shitload of others love fifa cod battlefield madden nba ac need for speed killzone. its not as bad as people make it out to be. people that dont want atleast want one of those games are the minority.

what game or franchises would make you accept the launch line up? just curious

worldwidegaming3812d ago

Nintendo had Mario ready for launch.
We should stop giving them excuses for not having a quality title ready alongside their product.

Just because you don't like COD doesn't mean that its not a good game. And it has arguably better game play than killzone. Killzone just looks good and that's about it.

MysticStrummer3812d ago

I see, so it's arguable that CoD has better gameplay but a fact that KZ just looks good and that's it.

Gotcha.

ravinash3812d ago

"arguably"...yes.
Thing is I enjoyed KZ2, so I'm hoping for something more like that than just another COD copy.
Want to play COD...play COD.
Want to play KZ....play KZ.
Don't know why people have such an issue with that.

Orbilator3812d ago

Not one agree that cod is better than kz. Who sounds deluded now. Kz has always been an awesome launch franchise just wish insomniac done something to as resistance was a great game.

ravinash3812d ago

It will be funny to see what happens when all the pre-orders have been picked up.... and only the standard expected number of consoles fail.

Like any electronic equipment, there will always be a few that fail. But I wonder how much that will be blown up out here on ta-int-ta-web.

not buying this till next year,no games that grab my attention.i can wait for h-hour.

Lovable3812d ago

Sane here. Come Feb 2014, I'll get my PS4 for FF 14 ARR. Oh can't fricking wait

PurpHerbison3812d ago

I love the crossplay in FFXIV:ARR! Will be welcoming all the people joining up with the PS4.

solar3812d ago

same here, i had one pre ordered the day after the announcement, but there really isn't anything i want to play yet. i always thought KZ was overrated, Infamous isnt my style, and Knack is blah.

the moment The Last Guardian hits, ill be buying one.

SoapShoes3812d ago

HA! You never planned to get one.... Unless you are completely stupid! Why preorder a day after an announcement showing games you don't like?

solar3812d ago

because i like the playstation brand? and i like shiny new tech?

HappyWithOneBubble3812d ago

I feel you. By that time you could get one for less too.

worldwidegaming3812d ago

Smart move! The games I wanted were delayed after I paid in full. No point in taking the money back now.
I will just sit back and prey i am not the 1% that are part of that "Buy a Brick" program.

I would take him on a date and not call him the next day.

PurpHerbison3812d ago

I'd like to think us reading these articles is a lot worse than the person writing them.

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos7h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos4h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje4h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum7h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum3h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola2h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum2h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola2h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum1h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad4h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola2h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos2h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai3h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK3h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville0m ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
