I think that is subjective, I played Battlefield 4 with the XBoxOne controller and after just a few minutes my left hand would hurt for making the character run. Everyone is different but I really think that a controller should have a "mirrored" layout, unlike the Xbox one. #18.2
I agree that many titles are multi-platform, but, honestly, no system has hundreds of exclusive WORTHY titles and I think PSVita exclusive library is already pretty good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
Personally I bought it when Gravity Rush released, knowing I would also get Uncharted, LBP, Assassin's Creed Liberation and other games. PSVita exclusive library is qu... #6
This is true, but then you really can't go that extreme. For example, there could always be a limit about having used games that cost at least 30% less than new ones (is just an example, not what I think should be done, first idea that came into mind). Would that help? Well, possibly, people would be less willing to trade-in and maybe go over e-bay that is more of an hassle and would represent less of a lucrative business than GameStop and similar.
Personally I disagree, in fact, to me it will have the opposite effect.
While I KNOW what I will get for my money with franchises such as Uncharted, Battlefield, Batman etc., knowing I cannot trade-in games that may end-up being so-so, I just won't want to risk my money on them, and will pass on those titles.
For example, if the situation were already like so, I wouldn't have bought: Warhammer 40.000, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Defiance and a few ot... #9
Excellent article and I can add my own example. Both me and my partner are avid gamers. Of course we have our own consoles, we have two PS3, two XBox 360, two PSVita, you get the point. We usually play at the same times, that's mostly why. We share games as everything else in life.
With XBox One, the next time we buy (for example) a Deus Ex / Dishonored / Bioshock game, I'll play it first, then pass to him. It becomes his own and I'll never play an... #17
I agree with you, and I wouldn't pretend everything to be moved over. In fact Personally I'd accept giving up some of my content especially when I'll switch to PS4.
Things such as your gamer name, trophies and PLUS subscription, anyway, shouldn't be too problematic to move.
The title tends to be a bit on the ironic side, I just took the number of votes on the PS blog post (at the time I wrote my blog). And sure, many just keep going o... #3.1
That's what I'm doing now, but as explained, the situation is not ideal.
For example, I'm playing Sly Cooper now and there's this option where you can use cross-saving and look for collectibles on the PSVita. The problem is, I can only download Sly Cooper on a Vita connected to a NA account (since I bought the game in NA) and can't use the cross-gaming feature since I'm playing on my EU account. Same thing with PlayStation Battle Royal (can onl... #4.2
There are a few different things to be taken into consideration when talking about used games but I think it all goes down to the fact that, so far, developers and publishers have gained nothing from the used-games market and the want their share. They have seen GameStop become a giant also thanks to the used-games business and they want their money.
Fine by me, after all it's the developers and publishers that finance the game so it's fair they get a share fr... #4
I can understand you Freddy, I dozed out a few times myself during the conference even though I didn't mean to.
You're right, Pierre won't need all that slick stuff, nor will Mario, Paul, Franz or Dimitri. But I think Pierre is looking into opening a restaurant, Mario says he likes to get out and play adventurer with his brother Luigi and Franz will play Crysis on the PC. Paul will probably buy a PS4, I don't know what Dimitri is going to do th... #2
Hey there, I appreciate your passionate reply and sure, we certainly have different viewpoints, you work for GameStop, I work in the digital entertainment industry, although I have a couple of friends working for GameStop and Blockbuster and know a couple of behind the scenes as well.
Anyway, I'm surprised you feel I see the enemy in Gamestop, I honestly only used them for a couple of examples, to make my point, but they definitely were not the focus of my post,... #1.1
I don't see why there's the need to differentiate girl gamers and male gamers, it's just gamers. The interest in something doesn't come from gender, it comes from personal interest, culture and exposure to that thing.
My partner introduced me to games and I found out I enjoyed them, now I'm as hooked as him. I play a variety of them because I like all kind and styles (like I do with movies, comics, music). Is not because I'm a girl, is... #20
Unfortunately not, you need to have that choice in an imported save (choice that I had on my PC save :P).
"The only way to keep Eve alive is to complete Old Blood on an imported character, and save the data.
Eves survival has two major effects:
- If Eve dies, there is a -50 modifier on Krogan War Assets. Her survival prevents this. - If Eve survives, you are unable to convince Mordin to sabotage the cure - the only way to do... #2.1

And thats why you lose your credibility. Because thats not true at all, unless you set everything on low setting and geeez ... why I will play a game that looks so bad over a 500$ pc ?
No way, you really say a not so smart thing. #1.1.7

I tried the new controller and it felt great, hopefully it will for all hand sizes :). #15.2

I am only one, and just one less click won't hurt the site, but hundreds of people that do the same, yes, can definitely hurt it.
People should better realize their power as a mass! #12
And I agree, truly a brilliant game, absolutely underrated and under-loved! #33
