It's always fun to use a character creator to make the most out-of-place character possible. I also made a battle-scarred Santa Claus and a little elf to go with him.

Remaster every good game from last gen. I want Skyrim, New Vegas, Blood Money and whatever PS3 exclusives were good.poptart_fairy posted:Sorry to wank over the wireless headset but goddamn, the sound is utterly perfect. Maybe this is because I've never really had surround sound outside of a cinema but it's really loving with my head to hear things zipping about in a 3D space rather than just from a couple of dinky speakers. Even my PC headphones didn't have this. Posts like this confuse me, because then you get other posters who say to never ever buy wireless headsets. I don't know who to believe

abagofcheetos posted:Only thing that makes sense is the fact that for some reason a large number of PS4 owners never even owned a PS3/360/Wii, so these games are new to them. Don't know the ratios now but at the release of TLOU remastered they were saying that half of PS4 owners never had a PS3.

The next mgs is going to be a massive flop. It's intrinsically tied to Kojima for most, no?

Headset aficionados are loving lunatics so their opinions are suspect to begin with. The Gold headset works great as a mid-range pair of headphones with the jack, and the wireless sound is pretty solid also. Its only major shortfall is the mic, which makes you sound like your head's in a bucket. It's worth a buy if you've got the cash and the inclination.

A completely new-ish team dedicated to churning out Metal Gear games on a yearly basis, or perhaps semi-annual basis. You can be the judge of how that's going to go.

As someone who hasn't played a Metal Gear since 2, I'm more interested in what new cool thing Kojima does when Konami is no longer holding a gun to his head and forcing him to make more Metal Gears.

Zaphod42 posted:Look how the master chief collection turned out. Remaster collections are probably a bad idea. It turned out that way because rather than take their time with it or narrow their focus on one game, Microsoft told 343 (and the other 3 or 4 studios recruited to help put it together) that they wanted it released in time for the holiday season. They told them this like a month before E3 and 7 months before launch. So what was originally supposed to just be a Halo 1 and 2 remaster ended up being a Halo 1-4 remaster with a bunch of other poo poo tacked on. Somehow I don't see Sony or ND making the same error with the Uncharted games, which is why we've yet to hear anything about it.

Goes to show you how important competent designers and coders are despite the technology available. Same way Halo 2 for the original Xbox still has better online systems than 90% of games released these days.

Hey just for the record, PS VUE (the new live TV service that actually seems really really cool so far) and the free 7 day trial seem like they work anywhere, for anyone. When you start up the app it says that it's only available to people in NYC, Chicago, and Philly, but it seemingly doesn't care about your IP address or billing information or anything like that -- it just asks you to give it a ZIP code when you first launch the app & as long as you enter one from one of those cities it works fine. Watching comfortably from North Carolina right now edit: also if anyone wants to try it but doesn't wanna get billed for $70 at the end of 7 days, you can immediately go to Settings->PSN->Account Information->Services->PS Vue and turn off auto-renew after signing up for the trial, and it will still remain active for your 7 days.

Augus posted:Oh god no The industry looks to be rapidly imploding. The big studios that succeed produce nothing but iterative titles or remasters and the ones that don't collapse on themselves and make mobile games, which are the absolute dregs of the entire medium and coincidentally the most profitable. You've got a small core of indies but nearly all of them just churn out zero-effort zombie titles or glorified Greenlight betas. And forget crowdfunding, Kickstarter is a loving pit.

Yeah, just put the thingy in a USB slot and your headset will find it. Don't be like me and not notice the microphone is built into one of the ears already, however! I spent nearly half hour rummaging through the box thinking I'd missed it.

I imagine some kind of exclusivity contract came with it, especially given how much the marketed ESPN stuff with the TV features of the Xbox One

Crappy Jack posted:Yeah, it was an interesting game on the Vita, but that was because it was an open-world game on a handheld, but it wasn't exactly meaty or anything. It's fun enough, but I don't exactly see it flying off the shelves as a remaster for consoles. Bullshit. It was an interesting game on the Vita because it was a legitimately interesting game! It wasn't just another open world game in the vein of GTA or inFamous or the like, since the primary mechanic - manipulating the gravity surrounding Kat, the playable character - was so unique. Because the game was a first entry and the mechanics were so unusual it had its problems, but you're selling it short. If buying this is necessary for them to justify Gravity Rush 2 - hell, even if it isn't - I'll buy Gravity Rush Remastered in a heartbeat.

And I think you're giving that game far too much credit. It was an interesting idea, but that doesn't mean it was a great game. Or fun to play, which it really wasn't. edit: actually, Gravity Rush's gimmick would be great for one of these VR headsets that are kicking around these days. Much better than the whole "I hope you own a swivel chair" thing it has going on now. Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Mar 20, 2015 |

I would've been interested in gow 3 before I bought the gow collection for Vita. That was my first experience with the franchise as an Xbox owner and it felt so dated and repetitive. I'm sure it was amazing before every other action game ripped off what it did well though.

I didn't say it was great, I said it was interesting and unique, which it very much is. One of the main reasons Gravity Rush 2 needs to happen is because the mechanics are flawed.
