BlackSox9 448 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 Maybe people are finally sick of Mario? I think Nintendo should try and make some new and original IP's. Instead of re-releasing the same tired old Franchises over and over again. I used to love playing the old Super Mario games on the NES and Donkey Kong on the 64'/ Gameboy, but I've moved on from these and I now want a more expansive experience. This doesn't mean that Nintendo shouldn't keep making kids games, but maybe they should think about incorporating a more mature and original experience into some of their games as well.

TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Related to PS4: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-01-07-sony-announces-game-streaming-service-playstation-now Sony has announced PlayStation Now, a streaming game service that will allow people to play PS3 games on PS4, Vita, and Bravia TVs via cloud-based technology.Due to premiere this summer in the US, the service will first be available on PS3 and PS4, which should alleviate some criticisms of Sony's latest console not being backwards compatible. Streaming games between Sony devices is only the beginning, however, as the company is aiming to expand into third-party hardware. "Eventually the service will expand beyond PlayStation platforms and Sony devices, allowing users to stream PlayStation games on numerous other Internet-connected devices," the console manufacturer explained in its announcement. "SCE's vision for PS Now is to enable users to instantly enjoy a wide range of full games on the Internet-connected consumer electronics devices they use every day." The idea is that people will be able to play the same game on all their online devices and it will seamlessly transfer trophies, messages and save data. GTA V on PS4 anyone?

Santiago 64 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 New content for classics! YAAS! http://www.gamespot....s/1100-6416906/ A freshly unearthed Sony patent has shown that the company is working on what appears to be a way to add new content to classic PlayStation games being emulated through the cloud. The patent, filed in 2012 but released publicly yesterday through the United States Patent and Trademark Office, says that it will function as a framework that allows developers to introduce additional and modified content in a classic game--such as an iconic boss fight where players have less health--by creating snapshots of titles in an emulator. Modified content could be introduced through this snapshot system, the patent explains. "Finding new ways to play preexisting video games can increase the longevity of older games," reads the patent filing, describing its pitch for modified elements as mini-games. "In order to create mini-games without reverse engineering and recoding a game designer may rely on the use of triggers and snapshots to provide information needed for the mini-games without having to dig into the code of the legacy game. iDK HOW TO QUOTE. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrybran 851 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 As good as an idea as this is my expectations would be that we would have less games that are better and longer than what we have (even if we pay more) than to flood the market with annual titles. I'm a little skeptical about this patent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 How does this "snapshot system" modify existing games? I don't understand that patent fig. I sort of understand how the emulator could adjust data automatically in 2D era classics, but not fully 3d game worlds... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 1390 Report post Posted March 1, 2014 Got my first hands on with the PS4 today. this is what I thought. I got to play Tomb Raider, AC4 and Battlefield 4. all three of these are available on PS3 but I have only played Tomb Raider on the previous generation. Battlefield was by far the most impressive visually. textures and lighting in particular were amazing. draw distance didn't really play a part as the two maps I played on were pretty small, but over all I was impressed graphically. Tomb Raider was leaps and bounds above the PS3 version visually. I stood for a full minute in a puddle just watching the effects on the surface of the water. truly astounding. I didn't get much of a chance to go beyond the graphical changes as I only played it for a few minutes. AC4 was an interesting mix. Graphically, it felt over textured, which is pretty common for ubisoft games even on PS3. but I don't expect to be able to see the grain on a timber board 100 feet away. It just felt like they were trying too hard to make it "Next Gen". having said that, It is a beautiful game visually, with some amazing views. game play wise (which I doubt differs from the PS3 version much, If at all) I was impressed. The locations I got to visit were much more fun that AC3 to free run through and the naval battles felt much more complete and a great deal better thought out. The thing that stood out the most though, was the controller. The change between controllers from PS2 to PS3 was nonexistent IMO. this control is a huge step forward. I would even say it is more comfortable that the Xbox 360 control. As someone with degenerative arthritis in my hands, I played for about 4 hours and I could still type all of this. Happy days. Once there are some games I am really excited about, I will be getting one. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cuda 939 Report post Posted March 2, 2014 I've never played an FPS in a console, in fact, the last console I owned was the first playstation. How can you play FPS games with a controller? The mouse just feels essential for the genre. It does look pretty though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
