Kyle Orland: We've had our very own PlayStation 4 here in the Ars Orbiting HQ for a little under 24 hours—not quite enough time to dig into things for a comprehensive review of a new game console. At the time of this writing, Sony had yet to enable the firmware version 1.5 "Day One" update that enables a host of features from Remote Play to DVD playback. Furthermore, the company hasn’t yet let pre-release systems onto the PlayStation Network to test anything that requires an Internet connection, which covers pretty much everything except disc-based single-player games (which we will have coverage of shortly).
Games Asylum: "Even though the Vampire Survivors influenced ‘auto shooter’ genre isn’t long in the tooth, I’m still surprised that it has taken this long for a Roman gladiator-themed rendition to come along – especially with a sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 box office hit Gladiator imminent. It’s thematically perfect, with its circular arena in which one man stands alone against hordes of enemies, grabbing loot as they survive one wave to the next."
Sparking Zero is doing what Xenoverse won't.
Ben Sledge from TheGamer Writes "I’m already impressed with Supergiant’s commitment to improving body diversity in the Hades 2 technical test."
There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.
No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.
Even as a person who couldn't care less about aesthetics when it comes to electronics (I'd play a turd if it was awesome), the PS4 is a nice looking console. I like that white Xbox One too.
I like the new ui imo
Kinda getting sick of "reporters" pretending to be baffled by design choices which they may not like, but are easily interpreted.
He does this frequently in this article.
Particularly irritatinf is when he criticizes voice commands, confused that you have to follow a game's name with the word "start." Yeah, maybe because people conversing about which game to play next don't want to have to load and exit every mentioned option? Or would he rather have to discuss the games by code name? Maybe Kinect handles this differently, or even better,but to act like it's so hard to understand makes him seem fumbling and dimwitted.
Reviewers, if you dislike features, just say so and save being "completely baffled" for things that require effort to comprehend, especially if you want to be taken seriously.
