USG - "I don't mean to disparage the game by any means -- there's far more to life than high-end graphics -- and in fact I appreciate the fact that Sony chose to showcase a decidedly arty project like Hohokum amid all the flash and sizzle of the PS4's early lineup. It made a pleasant contrast to most of the other games on offer, with a simple art style complemented by chill music and totally nebulous play goals emphasizing discovery through relaxation."
Hohokum is a puzzle game with a cool vibe and electronic soundtrack, originally appearing on PS3/4 and Vita, now ported to PC.
AllGamers list the indie games they believe best fit each season of the year, with a few surprising choices!
PlayStation Blog Europe: "As the summer months fade away and Europe heads into autumn, we thought it’d be right and proper to throw 19 PS4 games your way to enjoy while you’re avoiding the cold. This month’s action-packed bundle of hits will keep you entertained for hours."
Good to see Sony still adding games to their service.
Waiting for SNK to add Metal Slug to current toasters.
Gaming services soon will replace hardware....damn it. I will not like that future but as tech improves, internet speeds become faster, all they will need to sell is a controller...
It will come sadly. But hopefully not in the next 20-30 years.
Well they still sell Music CD and even vinyl is making a bit of a comeback so it will be awhile before digital replaces physical. You also need to see the upside of digital. Nintendo on the other hand are definitely making it a harder sell with the expense for cartidges.
I agree with most of what you said Moldy however the last part is not clear. Nintendo does not have cartidges now. They have SD cards no? Or what did you mean?
yes, that's what I meant. SD cards but as I said they are more expensive and the larger they are the more it will cost publishers which of course tranfers over to consumers.
Destiny 2? How so?
The atrocious dlc and microtransactions are apart from the topic of games as a service. Games being plural not singular.
Be it dlc or subscription based streaming how is it not the same thing? Be it continued required or "optional" payments post single purchase of a game or purely "optional" payments for a free game, what's the difference? The issue is between those very differences as publishers try to justify charges. Make games a service.
As long as the service is optional for gaming i can manage. When it becomes a service thats the problem.
Persistent worlds and required internet connection are the absolute future for the vast majority of games.
It's funny how people see the optional removal of buyers rights being "ok". This is the future of Sony games. They wouldn't have investing hundreds of millions if this wasn't the direction they were going.
It is definitely the eventual future as you can see every media service going this route in some way, shape or form.
Pretty 'meh' list to be honest. Also, I just can't believe the fact that Akiba's Beat is the only 2017 PS4 game that got released first on PS Now. I guess Acquire was just desperate, considering that the game was flop, though I don't think PS Now is gonna help it.
Wow, 3 dislikes? I guess there are people out there who are still interested on playing Akiba's Beat, when they can just play other better RPGs like Persona or Tales of Berseria.
I can't really see the value of psnow on a big screen tv as the size of the image shows all the flaws and pixellations up really horribly. If you have a PS4 console under the tv you may as well run games on it as they will be less laggy and look better.
Personally i feel this service makes most sense for tablets and handhelds where a smaller image size and portability give it a reason to be useful.
Agreed, and why they don't have Android / iOS PS Now apps (and killed the Vita app) is a mystery to me.
I think RiME looks like it should claim that title.
Hohokum seems to me like next-gen's Noby Noby Boy, although not quite as bizarre: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
nah, this will be better than both of those combined. When Ghostly International is involved in the music, INSTANT WIN.
