brilliant idea to have this be a PS+ free game. The PS+ game giveaways are one of the most enticing aspects of PS+, coming from a previous X360/gold member. I haven't been part of XBL Gold in over 2 years bc it didn't warrant the $60 for me. But for PS4 I will be signing up for PS+ as the first thing I do when I open the box.
Driveclub looks like it could be fantastic and giving away most of the game for free is a brilliant idea. I'll definitely be downloading it and trying it out! If I enjoy it i'll be happy to upgrade to the full title, and this announced discount, whatever it might be, is just icing on the cake!
That being said this past gen saw a huge decline in split screen multiplayer and that was very disappointing to me. to hear yet another game cut it out is not very hopefully for whats to come. I do hope they might think about adding the mode at a later date via DLC or an update. I understand they want all their resources to go into finalizing the build and making the game the best it can be by launch. just look at the difference between the E3 demo and the Gamescom demo! but hopefully they and other devs realize that people still do want to play together in the same room!
@VeeArSick @punkdsk8erdude it almost has to, the way i see it. Sony announced PS4's date at Gamescom and I expected Microsoft to do the same, but they didn't. That's a big piece of info to leave out for much longer, November is closing in fast.
And the next gen systems are essentially custom gaming PCs, similar enough architecture, right?
So, to me, a layman in terms of technical knowledge, it just sounds logical that it wouldn't take much effort to port a PC version into an Xbone/PS4 port, so if they are going to do PC (which we can expect a few months/a year down the road) then they should do next gen consoles, no?
I'm sitting on a PS4 preorder so i'll be tapped out for games anyway for a while, and there'll be enough on that system to keep me busy to wait and see if GTAV will see the light of day on PS4. If not, I'll just get it eventually for my 360.
not so into the white console but that two tone white & black controller looks real slick, I like it, similar to the PS4 two tone red/blue & black, but I wasn't too keen on the red or blue controllers.
it's still disappointing what happened with 1313, that was looking to be a unique and jaw-dropping star wars game. maybe another team picked up where 1313 left off? it looked pretty far in development...
hopefully they reallyare checking out past battlefield games and still make a battlefield game we'd expect, and do the series justice. what an incredible two games...and they could really be bolstered by next gen tech if they do it right. BF4 at least is jaw-dropping visually, and it's a quality shooter, but I really hope that DICEs Battlefront is NOT just a re-skin of BF4 with battlefront "modes" and a star wars story. i hope they really put in the effort to make a quality, original game.
@Chrono_Shift no new dungeons my friend. I was hoping for this. Many including myself were clamoring for the two cut dungeons for the first game, but Aonuma said that only the original dungeons will be in the game, and the cut dungeons have subsequently been used in later zelda games (so either TP, PH, ST, or SS, in some way).
And we've seen that the triforce quest is still in the game, there was video of Link getting a piece from a chest. So if they made it more interesting or quicker, cool, but we really have no idea what the "revamp" means yet.
So faster sailing and miiverse integration isn't enough new content for a veteran who has played the game through multiple times, or even a fan who has played it through just once, to be honest. The graphics do look great but it's nowhere near the revamp that OoT to OoT 3D was.
I'm hoping more people get to experience the joy that is Wind Waker with this rerelease, but I can't help but feel somewhat let down by how little there really is new to this game for those fans who have played the original.
@zmbi_gmr agreed. i'd consider myself a hardcore zelda fan, have been since the early 90s. Loved Wind Waker but feel somewhat disappointed at the remake. There's less new to it than I had hoped for. To further bolster your point, I was holding out on Wii U with every intention of buying one when a must have game came out for it. E3 came and went and I decided I'd much rather have a PS4 at this point, the Wii U still has nothing to convince me to take the plunge, so I preordered PS4.
If Wii U had something worthwhile coming by the end of the year, I would've gone out and bought one instead.
Either stick to your guns, or release a version of the console WITHOUT KINECT!
The whole reason Xbone is $500 is because of the kinect. Sony cut Eye to release at $400, Microsoft could've done the same if they are now saying Kinect is not required!!!
If they are forcing everyone to have a kinect they might as well stick to their guns and use it!
if xbone was $400, after they reversed their DRM policies, and it didn't sell with a kinect, it might have made me really think twice about which console i preorder. they lost me as a customer to PS4 this gen and i think through all this "damage control" microsoft has been doing post E3 they are just making themselves look weak. they are making some smart moves and other poor decisions.
