This is probably a dumb question, but...are the PS3 and PS4 PSN's exclusive or do they crossover?Quote:

Publishers are getting too damn greedy in employing the free-to-pay model on top of the traditional retail model.
I've already made up my mind that I will wait to research all mt's on new full-retail games, and if there are more than $100 worth in a new game I won't buy it.
I don't care what game it is - Dark Souls 4, Demon's Soul 2....whatever. This whole situation is lame.
The amount of things to buy with real money in the Forza game is absolutely outrageous - I can't believe people are buying the game. They're basically saying they're OK with a free-to-pay model on top of a retail model.
Not me, though. Fuck that.
That's fine and dandy, and I understand that's where the industry is going. It's just not where my interests lie. I still like a fun game to play alone, and my favoritre multiplayer is on a couch.Quote:

Nope not yet. Flower is on PS4, as is Sound Shapes and one or two others.Quote:

My games so far:
Killzone: Shadow Fall
AC IV: Black Flag
Lego Marvel Superheroes
Resogun
Contrast (currently downloading)
Flower (currently downloading)
They haven't announced a PS4 version yet but it's assumed they will since they announced Flower and Flow (thatgamecompany's other two releases) already. The coolest thing is that they are cross play so since I have the PS3 version of Flower I get the PS4 version for free.Quote:

It's pretty much the only PS3 game I'm interested in, but I really don't want to buy the system for a single game.
The only non-digital PS3 game they've announced for PS4 is Tomb Raider which is getting an ultimate edition on PS4 & Xbox One. There's a chance sure but I don't think Naughty Dog wants to spend 6 months to a year working on another version of a game they already released when they could be making new stuff. They'd probably outsource it to some other company.
Edit: Forgot Rayman Legends was announced also.
Flower is a nice, awesomely relaxing game. Except for one fucker of a level.
I'm sure it'll show up on the PSN.Quote:

I'm stoked to be playing Borderlands 2. Can already see the improvements.
Oh man, "Killzone: Shadow Fall" is an awful game.
So boring, so poorly designed. I almost don't even want to finish it.
Naughty Dog already said they don't plan on porting it. They might change their minds one day, but you'll probably be waiting for a while.Quote:

This might be the game I've waited my whole life for.

It's really pretty and certainly an astonishing technical achievement.
I hope however it is you interact with the world is actually compelling and interesting and fun. Ideally, it'll deliver some of the promise of freedom it appears to imply.
Yep - that's the key, right?Quote:

In the game, it will be possible to see a star in the sky while on a planet, and fly to that system without a single load, all in real (in whatever FTL "real" they use) time. The whole thing is about exploring planets in the universe, and each planet has its own unique ecosystem and biosphere.
Yeah, it's such a beautiful, awesome idea.
I'm a little skeptical I'll enjoy whatever it actually is/becomes because of how little I've ever enjoyed space exploration/resource management/trading games in the past.
I sound overly pessimistic, probably. It's neat and awe-inspiring to be sure, though. Just sometimes really cool tech and ideas and visual designs are put into a game (or film or whatever for that matter) without an interesting game to actually interact with. Still. Hoping it rocks.
