This really is the best news. And it's so soon too! Looked like they might have hinted toward the supernatural at the end of the trailer, too. Hard to tell.

It sold like poo poo outside Japan so Rocket Peace is sadly not well known.

Yeah if you don't think Rocket Peace is amazing you're not a true MGS oval office.

As for your question about the GTA games, those were all built on the RenderWare engine - middleware that allowed it to be ported to just about every platform out there without too much technical fussing. Back during the PS2 era, RenderWare was powering like one out of every four games released, so if the developers are still around, it definitely seems possible they could rejigger it to get it to work on other hardware, but anything built for the PS2 architecture and stuff like its vector units (think any of Naughty Dog or Insomniac's games) will almost certainly have to be done via emulation. MGS and FFX were completely rebuilt to work on Vita, but they were done in a way that would let them be on the PS3 (and in FFX/X-2's case, on PS4), so there was some forward thinking, I'm sure.

That would be Criteron, as in the Burnout developers. :rip:

I miss Burnout. Hopefully some day they'll port up Burnout 3, since that's the best game in the series and there's no chance of a sequel to Paradise.

So Helldivers multiplayer is showing no friends playing when I can see people in my friends list playing so I think it's kinda borked right now.

Is there a way to make the minimap in Dragon Age not lovely? Not only does it not show any geography, it doesn't even have basic elevation symbols. I have no idea if this thing I'm looking for is on a mountain above me or in a cavern beneath.

Man, this game feels enormous now that I'm out of the starting area and have opened up several more locations.

Any tips on the combat? I'm playing on easy as a Mage, but I feel a bit underpowered in a lot of combat situations. I've been equipping better gear as a find it, but not really crafting anything yet. Level 8 if it makes a difference.

Which magic tree are you using? Lightning is the best for damage, I believe. I went pretty heavy with fire, Fire Mine is great for damage. and most of the spells cause panic. Ice and spirit are more for support and I'd suggest Vivienne for that stuff.

Ooh hey, this is a legit great RPG on PC. The graphics are pretty weak though, but the console versions are going to have updated character models, and shadow and lighting effects.

Really it's a radar more than minimap. And no, there's not really a way to tell, though you do get used to looking at it and going "oh that's up there." Caves do have a special marker that shows up on the map once you've uncovered the area.

Go ahead and craft. Even lovely T1 schematics will give you better gear than the stuff you pick up, including 99% of uniques. Once you get masterworks there's no competition at all.

My tip for someone just starting Dragon Age: Inquisition is to actually kind of just go quickly through the story until you get to the part where you have to chose either Mages or Templars as after that there's some opening up of mechanics. I spent way too much time on the early game when that part has much more to do. Also I believe that's when you finally get all the party members.

Sony randomly charged me 5 bucks today. What's the deal? I saw people posting about it a few pages ago but didn't think much of it at the time.

Did you actually get charged or is it from an old purchase and you're just getting the notice now?

For some reason the "funds have been added" and "thank you for your purchase" emails have been late / duplicated the past week or so, but so far nobody's actually been double charged or anything AFAIK.

I have a fresh charge in my account, but it may have just been processed late. Yeah, let's go with that.

Why wouldn't you just play it natively on the Vita? Does it not do Cross save?

What do y'all suppose the odds are they'll port Legacy Collection to PS4 as part of the lead-up to Phantom Pain's release? Despite having had a PSX and a PS2 I have never played a MGS game, and I don't have a PS3. :(
