Oh yeah, surprising no one, Andrew "Who's in Da" House on interview with Gamasutra mentioned how the Neo is based on the smartphone cycle, and also that it won't be shown on E3 because no games currently take advantage of it.

Someone will obviously chime in as I mention this in favor for this type of thing, but I haven't read one person on the internet say they want consoles to release on a smartphone type cycle and why that sort of thing would be good for console gaming, it's always just said that this is the direction things are going.

Much like I don't buy a new cell phone every year or every 3-4 years for that matter, I'm not interested in paying full price, or in this case maybe even more than what the PS4 cost at launch, for a console upgrade. The only way I would buy a PS4 Neo is if my current PS4 broke and I feel like a lot more people probably have that attitude than are willing to accept a smartphone console cycle.

One of the big selling points of consoles is that they are simple, painless, and will reliably run games that are released for them at least moderately well. If Sony expects me to buy the latest console just so when I buy a brand new game it won't play like rear end, I might as well just make the jump to PC.

The cell phone cycle works because everyone has them, uses them constantly and they are easily broken/given out with plans, this isn't true for consoles and trying to give them a similar cycle is dumb as hell.

No they just run worse then pc. There are some standouts that run horribly (fallout 4) then there are some that run just fine (overwatch) then there are some worse on pc then console (MKX and Arkham Knight)
Also its very obvious to see which is more painful, when you look at a game that just released on console all you see in advice on the game, the second it comes out for pc, theres a good 10 pages of posts about random rig checks. Theres literally nothing wrong with being a pc or a console guy, preferably be both.



Also at that point just sell a console with upgradeable parts, but then its a pc.

But this is no different then when sony jumped at 3d and then it went nowhere.

4K is still to young to be a focus for consoles.
VR is still in early adoption phases.

Some Kojima length cutscenes in NBA2k16. Also Lee's writing is about as blunt as it could possibly be and your team owner comes across like an unhinged psychopath. That cutscene felt like it was a half hour long. God drat.

To be fair, Vic is a piece of poo poo and the team owner has every right to be mad that someone like that is associated with one of his star players.

I like both, but I am also used to lagging behind with poo poo PC specs so I honestly didn't notice Fallout 4 running badly on PS4 at all. That's very much how every Bethesda game has run for me since Oblivion

It's also possible they only use part of what he wrote and just re-wrote the rest of it, like when HOMEFRONT touted John Milius' name around for a while until he turned out they basically just took the premise from something he'd written and did the rest themselves.

Anyone having issues with PS Plus NBA2k16?

Just got a console last week and downloaded the game (it hasn't finished the whole 50gig download, but the game can be started). All you can do is play a 1v1 match. It just says copying game stuck at 32% "some features will not be present".

Does the entire download need to finish for it to copy?

The entire download has to finish to have access to more than just 1v1.

poo poo, I wish I had played it while it was downloading. All I want is like half an hour on a concrete court by myself to acclimate to the controls, but I can't seem to find that. I don't wanna commit to an entire game right off the bat. I stumbled into what appeared to be a combo training mode right out of a fighting game lol

NBA 2k16 is basically the perfect PS Plus game for me. I don't like sports but the story and presentation of this seem amazing, and this isn't a game I would have bought otherwise.

It was supposed to be 10 PSN bux and since other crap but my theater also for some reason didn't seem to have poo poo to give us. I'm not sure if they're emailing the codes or what but if not that's sort of now sours me on what was a pretty okay e3

I got a cup, a crappy Playstation E3 experience branded poster, a branded little trash card, and a lanyard dealie that has a code with a bunch of small digital stuff that I don't remember all of because you don't get it all right away (it's not a PSN code, you put it in on an e3 site and it said I'd get my stuff in the coming month) and I wasn't paying attention for the 5 seconds you saw on the screen.

I remember one of them being a theme for Horizon Zero Dawn, and another being the first Michael Bay TMNT movie for whatever reason.

I bet they'll get you a code if you email someone about it, if your theater had nothing. Bummed I missed out on the $10 credit, it was $5 last year. But I did probably save around $10 in gas by staying home and watching the stream so whateva

Well technically they're on a couple's retreat because they're having marriage problems as they're living in the house the father was molested in in 1963 and the mother is possibly cheating. The safe you find isn't the father's, it was the uncle's. The father keeps writing JFK fanfiction in which someone goes back in time to stop a terrible event because of what happened to him the same year Kennedy died.

I mean on a surface level sure that's right, but I thought it was great with its storytelling without being explicit about anything.

Oh man, I read all the things, got all the story, but I never made that connection about the father's books.

Did anyone else think that the mother wrote the bodice-ripping book about having an affair with a firefighter? She's the wife of a writer, had an affair exactly like that, putting her experience into a secretly written steamy pot-boiler that is more successful than her husband's books is absolutely a thing I can see happening.
