Wait, 3/3 isn't the date is it?

It's been June 2016 for quite a while now, so it was probably either a total fuckup or the start of pre-orders like somebody else here guessed.

Did people expect NMS to not be $60? Everything about it has screamed "full retail" to me.

I heard from day one that it was a small team indie project and to put all my expectations around that. Small team indie project games don't go for $60.

But clearly there's all kinds of confusing information going around about that game.

For preorders, I think its a summer release. I don't really know why you would preorder it

I dunno but messing with Broforce's performance is un-American as hell.

But receiving performance enhancements is absolutely in line with the aesthetic.

How the hell did they gently caress up the Broforce port? A soft lock at the beginning of every level and slowdown with too many people on screen.

i've heard it is a unity engine thing, as in its horribly unoptimized and doesnt support multithreading, so the ps4 has issues because the system was designed for games to use all the cores for horsepower.

Is this not a problem on the newer SKUs? I got my PS4 around New Years (Uncharted bundle) and aside from a few incidents of buffering while running Netflix I've never had any problems with the WiFi in terms of latency or dropped connections.

I have the most recent Blops bundle with the physical power / eject buttons and the WiFi constantly disconnects every thirty seconds or so, when the router is less than 20 ft away. I'm certain the WiFi is still 100 % rear end.

The way people talk about No Man's Sky around here, I expect they would spit on a $6 charge. Lots of hate has been thrown that dude's direction. I don't plan to buy it but I did feel kinda bad for him when expectations blew up for whatever reason.

I figured it would be a 'free' pack-in game with the $500 Playstation VR.

Apparently it has something to do with Unity not playing nice with PS4

$60 seems pretty risky for NMS unless that is an error like the release date is.

It got a big presentation at Sony's e3 last year and that's not the only time.

It does look like a 30 or 40 dollar indie game at most though, unless between last year and this year they did some insane things to the game concept that they haven't talked about. I was viewing it as a "get stoned and go have semi-mindless fun exploring for a few hours" game and the last one of those I really loved was Noby Noby Boy, which costed all of $5. And it was free for a little while too...

If it ends up having a ton of replay value, sure. From what I've seen I suspect the average person might burn out pretty quickly.

Definitely was expecting it to be $30-$40

It's too bad Broforce has issues because Expendabros was pretty fun on PC and I wanted to do some couch co-op.

And, you know, the other games this month are crap.

I'd be interested in NMS if it looked like it had any actual gameplay, but it seems like the outer space equivalent of a walking simulator except without a plot.

If I were to get that call of duty PS4 bundle, could I turn around and trade in Call of Duty for something I'd actually play?

It's probably a code, so you would have to sell it on eBay or something.

A friend of mine is looking for multiplayer games (either co-op or competitive) that are, in his girlfriend's words, "less kill-ey". His girlfriend doesn't play twitch-action games very often and so they want to find something that doesn't involve multiplayer shooter levels of reflex requirement and violence. I had no suggestions because I just got my PS4 a few weeks ago, but perhaps you fellows might?
