Big Fresh Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Because their free-to-play games with microtransactions have been extroidinarily successful for them recently. Avengers Alliance, Marvel Heroes 2015, Marvel Puzzle Quest.... cash cows. And good games too. I want a new Ultimate Alliance too, but I don't blame then for sticking with what's been successful.

Andrew POE! Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Just got my 24th overall Platinum trophy and 1st on PS4 with Killzone Shadowfall. The last level and the last mission seem unnecessarily hard even on Hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Finally finished WATCH DOGS today. It was alright. A much better first effort than the original ASSASSIN'S CREED, but far, far below the best games of that series. Chapter 2 (out of 5) is a total slog, though, with 15 tedious fucking missions. No other chapter had more than 8 or 9. I imagine most people who quit on the game did so at some point during that chapter, because I was certainly tempted to. But I persevered, and I found the last 3 chapters were much brisker and had more interesting missions. Still not great, but definitely enjoyable in a way the first half of the game isn't.

Outside of the Facebook game, I can't run any of them. And I'm not buying a new tablet/PC/phone for the privilege to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 IGN has posted a side by side of the graphics for the PS3 & PS4 versions of The Last of Us. And the results are... Underwhelming, sayeth Tabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underwhelming, sayeth Tabe If there is a single game that didn't need a grapical upgrade it is The Last of Us. It was the best looking game available less than a year ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It definitely needed some work. Popup, draw in, graphical glitches, etc. I remember Bix and I both being shocked at some of the graphical issues. Having said that, it IS an incredible-looking game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The PS4 can run at 60 fps though. Not all the time though. The game aims for 60 fps but doesn't always get there. It even comes with a "lock at 30 fps" option to guarantee a consistent frame rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salads Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Not all the time though. The game aims for 60 fps but doesn't always get there. There is no good reason for this. Except maybe a gen 9 re-rerelease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcosLoura Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The 30 fps lock has some new shadow effects and stuff. These new consoles not running at 1080p 60 fps is sad. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It's still new hardware, though. That's unfair. The first year, year and a half of the 360 was BRUUUUTALLLL. Same with PS3. Expecting them to just hit the ground running is unrealistic. And it's kind of their fault for hyping their systems up like that, but it's still true.

Raziel Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Especially when the amount of data and processing power needed to render full 1080p60 is fucking massive. Also totally forgetting that no console in the history of consoles had software using the full potential of the hardware within the first couple years of the system. None. Shit, look at the EOL NES stuff compared to launch stuff. Hell, compare it to launch Atari 7800 stuff, and the 7800 had argubally better hardware. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Glad I decided not to wait to get Entwined. What a beautiful, beautiful game. So far I finished the sixth chapter and was in complete awe of how it looks. It's different from Journey, but man this is a blast to play. Gameplay is simple, just use the sticks. But it's all about themes and story. It's well worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The 30 fps lock has some new shadow effects and stuff. These new consoles not running at 1080p 60 fps is sad. Very sad. I agree. Especially after a lot of the pre-release hype for The Last of Us Remastered was that it would be 1080p60, not kinda/sorta 1080p60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underwhelming, sayeth Tabe The differences in a lot of those screens is almost unnoticeable. Some of them even seem like it's just the PS3 version is darker. I am picking up the PS4 version on Thursday because I never played the PS3 version. I honestly hope they do a release for the Uncharted games for PS4 even if it's just a direct port.

Tabe Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm not real sure why but I decided to pick up Pure Pool for my PS4. $9.09 for PS+ members. I can't even play it for several days as I'm nowhere near my PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
