Hmm, according to the legal spiel, the bundle code can be used for two systems under the same account. So if I find a good deal (like during winter sales), I can get another Vita and play co-op with my little brother, if I'm reading it right.

All the wacky next-gen fun that is the PS4 livestream.

Sooo how does PS Plus work? Do I only get to play games while they're on it or can I keep them afterwards?

>>187403
You can keep them afterwards, I think. But if your Playstation Plus subscription lapses you'll lose them. Except for Discounted games that you purchase--you get to keep those even if you drop your Plus subscription.

>>187405
Is "free" the same as "discounted"?

>>187413
Not in the case of Playstation Plus. Free means you download them for free. Discounted means you pay $15 instead of $20.

So dds and nocturne are on the psn. That's pretty sweet. I'm hoping it means we'll get raidou as well down the line.

>>187490
"Down the line?" Raidou 1 came out the same time as Nocturne, I've been playing it on and off for weeks. I didn't know Digital Devil Saga came out with them though.

>>187500
I really need to get the second hidden endings, but it involves getting all the swords for both characters. So it'll take a while.

The PlayStation E3 Experience

Interesting. Can't afford a bad E3 show, with this type of audience watching.

>>187537
Love that they're showing the dude from Vlambeer when they say "the world's top developers". Really goes to show how far indies have come.

>>187537
People expecting Last of Us 2 and its just going to be the Masterpiece Edition or whatever they were calling it. Updating the models and such. Anything really good supposed to be coming out of this E3?

>>187539
Jeff Gerstmann said on the Bombcast that what he has already seen so far of what's going to be at E3 has been incredibly underwhelming.

Well crud, and they are doing a massive theater thing for their presentation. Sony could well squander the lead they've gained over the others if people aren't enthralled. I mean the things I noticed out the the montage were Watchdogs (released) Last of Us GOTY Masterpiece whatever (rerelease) and that 18xx something exclusive game I forget the exact name of.

>>187545
Well, it's only what he was allowed to see. If they've got a bomb in storage I doubt more than a handful of people even know about it at this point.

>>187547
I hope, I was pretty keen on them being the solid lead this generation, hate to see them drop the ball coming out of the first turn.

>>187548

Unless Microsoft has a gigantic bombshell announcement that completely wrecks anything Sony has to show off, Sony’s got this generation locked up. Microsoft fucked up too much with the Xbone and Nintendo…yeah…

>Publisher Aksys Games confirmed plans to bring Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in North America this fall. There's currently no word on its release in other western territories, but hopefully we'll hear something soon.

>Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN is set a year after Guilty Gear 2: Overture, and features 15 playable characters, including all-new antagonist Ramlethal Valentine. Signature systems like Roman Cancels are back but "significantly expanded and improved." As usual, Arc System Works' 2D art and animation is a focal point, and Daisuke Ishiwatari is back for the soundtrack.

>creamsugar: Well, here is the biggest news this month, Vita is back to life, FPS bundle 56k.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=839048

Guess Borderlands 2 was exactly what the Vita needed. Although, I'm not too confident sales will rise or be stable next month. Didn't know the previous Vita models were being out-phased the previous months, which explains the poor(er) sales it got.

>>188290
Reminds me of Nintendo's VC: "You can play old NES games--that you can emulate on freaking anything else--for only $10!"

>>188390
At least you kept the game after you dished out $10. The normal price of the game IS $14.99. If that picture is legit, why would I rent it for 90 days for the same price to just buy it?

>>188392
Yeah, I'm not really sure what this service is supposed to do. Besides make money. Sometimes a demo doesn't give the best idea of a game, but if I'm ever unsure I just wait for a big sale.

>>188392
In a smart world, Sony would go "Oh, hey, you've rented this game X times for Y total dollars, which happens to be >= the MSRP. Therefore, the game is now yours to keep!"

This won't happen. Incidentally, I'm surprised that Steam hasn't tried something like this; they do "free play" weekends for games fairly regularly, and I think that titles <12 months with middling reviews would benefit greatly from "rentals", even if they have demos. Ideally, the renter would only have to pay the full MSRP less the rental price if they decided to fully purchase it.

>>188394

Extra Credits suggested that as a possible future for game rental. It'd be, as you said, the smart thing to do.

>>188901
I know this is gonna sound like /v/, but I honestly think the atmosphere is gone in the remake.

>>188921
Yea I can see that, other has an oppressive grimy atmosphere this is looking a bit too clean.

>>188927
What I've noticed though is that it's done in a more CG, cartoony style, whereas the original, due to the PS1's limitations, looked like stopmotion/claymation, like it was made by Aardman Animations, which added a lot to its unique atmosphere.

But lets not let things like that stop us from giving them money to make more games, right?

>>188950
Buying games you don't want for the sake of company loyalty is stupid, especially so in an age of indie games.

>>188953
So I should go like another ten year without a new Oddworld game then?
I did not own a Xbox1...

>>188954
Munch's Oddysee sucked, and Stranger's Wrath was just a spinoff, and they can't even get this remake right. I don't think I even want a new game.

I've only played the 360 demo and thought it was okay. Maybe it's because I'm not really a builder, but I wasn't as engaged with Minecraft, like everyone else was. With that said, I think a game like Minecraft is best suited for handhelds, so I might get the Vita version, if I decide to give it another go.

Damn impressive the retail version is holding on strong at the sales charts.

>>189300
>I think a game like Minecraft is best suited for handhelds
You're wrong.

>>189300
I suggest not giving Mojang any more money, or at least not getting a version that doesn't let you use mods if you ever want to. I might try using QEMU to emulate the Raspberry Pi version, if I do I'll try to say something about it here.

>>189556
After all the shit that happened in the last few weeks, this bit of "internet drama" is utterly pleasant. Though it definitely stinks for the guys who don't get their waifu swag just because they live in a different country. As European myself, I can relate. We get shat on nigh constantly when it comes to games that aren't grand strategy or point'n'clicks.

>>189557
>We get shat on nigh constantly when it comes to games that aren't grand strategy or point'n'clicks.
Remember boys and girls, support your Swedes and Germans, they work hard for you.

So the Yuropistan PSN sale made me finally cave in. Got Demon Gaze and Atelier Totori+. Demon Gaze was getting praised to high heavens by everyone who played it, so I knew that I would eventually get it at some point anyway. And I always kinda wanted to get into the Atelier series, because they seem comfy as fuck and I was told Totori would be the best place to start. But both of these games are gonna be goddamn time vampires...

Oh okay, Demon Gaze has that kinda thing where regular enemies of an area do like 5-10 damage and then the boss suddenly does 200, while you still have 150 hp max after half an hour of grinding. I don't think I like that.

Welp, Sony just sold at least one more PS4.

Also, a bunch of other announcements during that conference, that hardly anyone in the West outside of the hardcore weeb audience probably cares for (not in the least because some of them likely won't come out in the West). So apart from the usual fare of ports and "definitive editions" there's a new Ys, Disgaea 5, a new Senran Kagura, a Dragon Quest musou (I know this basically prints money in Japan, but yawwwwn), a new 2hu, God Eater 2 Rage Burst, Yakuza 0, which takes place in 1988, and a waifu simulator for Project Morpheus made by fucking Tekken Team (wat?).

//youtube.com/watch?v=YebkU-6ILLE

I know optional bosses are supposed to be hard, but they optional boss in Ys is the most retarded fucking bullshit thing I've ever seen. It's just shit. Not difficult. Just utter shit.

Will Playstation die with Sony?

>>190036
Nah, it's basically the reverse of Microsoft's situation.

They'll fold into games rather than complete collapse.

>>190037
Its a wonder how much they'll retain IP wise. Can Sony be a Nintendo? I mean be a dedicated games company moreso than have a stable of known IP they can draw from.

Which news are you even talking about?

>>190041
Sony has been in financial troubles for a while now, so the talk is selling off everything and having the gaming division be its own entity.

>>190042
>so the talk is selling off everything and having the gaming division be its own entity
That's not gonna happen. Sony is fucking giant. One of those "too big to fail" type deals. The Japanese government is gonna jump in before anything happens.

Good God, the online server bullshit with DriveClub is crazy. Who would have guess this would be the game to suffer severe server issues at launch and not Destiny? Granted, Activision is better at this online thing than Sony. Along with Microsoft, since Forza Horizon 2 worked like a charm (thanks, cloud).

I just want to play the free edition for free and not pay.

>>190818
You know, I haven't seen a single in-game screenshot for SK.

>>190822
Well there is this Youtube video I found by searching for Senran Kagura gameplay:

>>191012
Let's not pretend we didn't know already. Hell, it's not even going to reach a steady 30. It's gonna dip real deep and heavy.

Still no Bloodborne bundle announced, either. Chances are starting to look pretty slim. So I'm gonna hold off on getting one. A bundle would've pushed me over the edge.

>>191073
Bloodborne doesn't come out until next year, so if one were to come, it wouldn't be announced now. If you're from the UK, there'll probably be a PS4 Bloodborne bundle. There's a new a bundle for ever new game release, it seems.

>>191964
Fuck that's bad.

>>191966
That's good to hear.

>>191964
Hahaha, fuck you guys.

Why do you people ask for an FF7 remake over and fucking over? There's absolutely no way it wouldn't suck and/or tarnish the original. There is a way to make it a good remake, and Square COULD do that, but everyone would bitch over things being different and fresh. They wouldn't go that far. So instead of reworking the game from the ground up they take the original game and change JUST enough to where it seems fresh, but since the things they change don't mesh well with what was unchanged (the bane of all remakes) it'll fall flat on its face.

>>191974
FF7 isn't really that amazing in the first place looking back on it

>>191975
It's the third best of the series, behind only 5 and 9.

>>191980
I guess Final Fantasy as a whole isn't that great

>>191981
Whatever.

>>191975
>>191981
I feel like those who say FF7 was never good have been spoiled by every JRPG that tried to 1-up it since.

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/finalfantasy/ff7/ff7-1.htm

I'm not sure how I feel about the new Drinkbox game. Guacamelee was pretty good and the artstyle is fucking incredible. But from what little we've seen from the gameplay it just looks like some shitty swipe the screen mobile game. I remain cautiously optimistic, though.
//youtube.com/watch?v=eyOcYpELq7A

>>191989
It looks a little TOO similar to Guacamelee for me. I guess that's Drinkbox's signature style, but I'd like it if they could branch out a little more.

>>191989
From what I understand it will be a bit like a surgery game, the idea is to simultaneous defeat opponents while surgically removing pieces of them for the purpose of either implanting them into your body or crafting things from them. You mess up and the piece isn't viable or isn't as good.

Sounds fun to me.

>>191992
So is it still going to have the Mexican folk art vibes? I know a lot of the staff are themselves Mexican.

>>191995
Actually, Guacamelee had a wee bit of coverage here in Mexico when it came out.
They interviewed the nationals on staff.
Well... National. It was just the one.

And I think he wasn't even involved with the art.

That was pretty discouraging to find out.

Sony prioritizing the PlayStation brand has been long overdue, but it's great to see it finally happening.

The PlayStation division has been terrific all year by working with big and small developers, and connecting with the community. The PSX convention was a tremendous success and I hope to see more reaching out like that from Sony.

So I may be getting a PS3 for christmas. Any must have exclusives I should pick up? I tend to like RPGs with heavy customization/ team building aspects, and pick up and play games like shooters.

>>192265
Demon's Souls and Disgaea 4

>>192265
inFamous is a pretty good shooter.

>>192268
inFamous specifically not 2, the only game whose ending puts Mass Effect 3 to shame by a WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE margin.

Like it is EASILY the single worst ending in a videogame ever.

Infamous 2's ending was perfect, a definite end in an industry afflicted with franchises. Sadly they fucked it up and dug up the corpse for Second Son, a game which actually IS terrible.

//youtube.com/watch?v=esEkTVmsZS0

>>192283
Can't see shit, captain.

Thanks for the Advice guys! I'll try and pick up InFamous and also probably Sly Cooper. I'll look at distaste too.

>>192297
Picked up the Sly collection, Infamous 1 & 2 (packaged together), and to my utter surprise and delight the Jojo's All Stars game.

Pretty damn happy about that last one and I wish I had picked up two other games around the same price range, but I was rushed on my way to the airport and wasn't the one buying.

I'm thinking about Lost Planet 2 or 3 if I can find it so I can get my sci-fi fix and picking up MGS: Ground Zeroes.

//youtube.com/watch?v=_7SbgvtBDCQ

If it weren't for Silent Hill, The Sly Collection would be the worst HD remasters on the PS3.

>>192762
What's wrong with them?

>>192756
I can't wait to watch a playthrough and get practically the same experience as playing it.

>>192765
No idea about Sly but you could list for days all the things wrong with the Silent Hill HD collection, the voice actors are different and were chosen poorly, it's optimized worse, the graphics are inferior particularly textures which are swapped for significantly worse ones, the fog doesn't obscure things correctly, the sound effects are wrong, the monster sounds are down graded, the voice direction is all wrong, etc, etc, etc,etc.

The list literally just keeps going, anything you could possible fuck up they burned down and fucked up the ashes.

>>192765
Several things.

Removed content, graphical and audio glitches out the ass, glitches that are game-breaking altogether, fucked up music, and the comic-y outlines around the characters are gone.

Is there anything coming to the PS4 that I also can't get on PC this year? All of the current gen has this problem, but 2015 looks pretty lean for this console at the moment.

So did you guys use you 10% off code yet?

>>192838
Bought Costume Quest 2 (on sale), since I only had $3 left in my account. Haven't played it yet.

Japan's getting a Bloodborne bundle. Doesn't look like the West's gonna get anything. Fuck this shit.

Don't know if we'll also see the Dragon Quest Dynasty Warriors game or its cool metal slime model either.
