Awesome work @Hero\-of\-Time!! I think I'm going to have to go after a copy of Mario 64......

Btw, Huber has set up a Twitch stream http://www.twitch.tv/huber_hype/profile, which I've been loving watching back in my spare time - ROFL to some of his Dying Light reactions!! - watching Gametrailers was always how I relaxed. Kyle, Ben and Ian joined him the other day to stream Street Fighter V http://www.twitch.tv/huber_hype/v/45882500

Love that little Groot! I think he'll have grown by the time we see him in the film

SO not the best Uncharted game Elena ftw. Damn I feel like playing some Uncharted again. That music. But probs best to wait til 4!

To me it shows strong intent for Destiny 2 to resolve that.

Woah woah woah, let's not be hasty!... The Legend of Zelda: Video Chat isn't scheduled until Death Mountain freezes over.

Except in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Party Chat, due out Summer 2016, it's Link's birthday and his grandma has invited his friends over to sit around the table, open some Amiibo, and partake in light hearted discussion.

Yeah it's the only reason it's getting a sequel, so that this announcement could take place

Yeah I'm surprised too. You can pick both up for something crazy like £6 each every now and then online. I might take the plunge with both one day if Plus doesn't come along.

Bloody brilliant guys. @Kaepora_Gaeboro, fantastic hosting!

I appear to have entered the Spoiler Wars: Troubles of TapaTalk thread.

Looks like Knack 2 may be in the works. I do love Sony for persevering with series others would write off. #Knackered

OOT > Skyward Sword > Wind Waker > MM > Twilight Princess

It's very true, there's always such potential for a Zelda sequel game. Skyward Sword's could have told the story of reclaiming the land below from further darkness, And I think we all dreamt of a Wind Waker sequel where you sail off and discover what will become New Hyrule (on consoles, and not compromised on 3DS with horrendous visuals).

Looks like Knack 2 may be in development and has been since last summer. I love this about Sony. #Knackered

So you wanted to say 'how can you discuss so much'?... That's forums man :p

It depends on how you evaluate games as you say, and I guess there are predominantly two ways... Pokémon Red/Blue was a video game defining moment, it was revolutionary, a global experience. Quite honestly, along with the TV show, for a couple of years you lived Pokémon. Therefore for me, Pokémon Red will forever be in my Top 10 games of all time. Is Pokémon Black/White a better game (ok, some might argue the original Pokémon and more simplistic nature of the originals still make them better games), due to visuals, story, the amount of content, modes, world etc... undoubtedly yes and so one would recommend it as the better Pokémon experience in todays world, and thus rank it higher. With Zelda, each console generation has further defined that franchise. Arguably I would say Twilight Princess is the only example where I feel the power of the new console hasn't resulted in an increased experience, but that's just me. The first time I played Majora's Mask and Link - when chasing after Skull Kid in the opening section - did a front flip to cross the tree trunks, it already felt like a drastic step up over Ocarina of Time. Come the end of the game, was it my new favourite Zelda... not even close. Also 'Timeless' can mean so many things. Did the game create for you a timeless experience, so that when ever you return to the game you are always reminded of that joy. Is it a game that's visual style is forever timeless and therefore doesn't age. Does it hold up to todays standards in terms of the story, or gameplay... Again, it's all a matter of opinion.

I'd be gutted because I'd be paying £240 to play it :p I would much rather they took the time now to make it NX only and took advantage of whatever additional power it comes with rather than it being compromised like Twilight Princess. But that ain't gonna happen, so I just hope it is coming to NX.

It absolutely matters! I don't know how anyone can think otherwise. Ocarina of Time was the first time anyone had experienced such a game, it was mind blowing. Play it now and you've experienced countless others that have done the vast majority of things far better, that consciously or not you'll judge it against. Same reason kids today would probably get bored playing Asteroids in 5 mins. It's the very reason sequels in any medium games/book/film/second albums etc... have so much to live up to.

Now coming to PS4! http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2016/02/11/knights-bikes-confirmed-for-ps4-from-tearaway-and-ratchet-clank-creators/

Bring on E3!

So I was really in the mood to download Firewatch yesterday, but when I look at my backlog of games on the PS4 I came to the conclusion that I should probably tackle one of those first. The game I chose was Ether One. I chose this because it sounded like a cool experience, and because I was under the impression it was quite a short experience at that... Damn was I wrong! 8-9hours of play yesterday and I've probably seen about half of what there is to see, if that, plus if I go for trophies and the platinum as I intended there's a lot more to it. The dilemma I have however is I'm not sure how much I'm enjoying it. The environment is pretty fun to explore. It's a story driven puzzle game as it turns out, however... maybe I'm just not paying enough attention [i don't really feel I could give the game much more] but the story is kind of all over the place and obvious themes aside, I don't really have any idea what's going on with the voices I hear and characters that are mentioned. The story driven puzzles lead from one to the next with you having to store objects that you'll use later to solve another. However, some are extremely vague. Solving a time travelling puzzle in the mine stumped me for a good hour, and for the very last part I had left to solve (which was actually the middle part of the puzzle) I even had to take to the internet to clue myself in on what I was meant to be doing; something I don't like to do, and don't feel you should have to. Even then I somewhat stumbled upon the answer by trial and error. I got to the end of my play session last night and thought, ok so it's been... different... but actually how much am I enjoying myself? I find it very hard to find time for gaming at the moment and as such I want to be having satisfying experiences when I do. The flipside of this is that I am somewhat of a completions. In the past I wouldn't even buy a game until I was done with one, and I'd try and 100% it at that. As much as I feel compelled to finish games, maybe there are just those you should move on from. Ironically Ether One is probably a lot like Firewatch, which made me think whilst playing, hmm I don't want this to take anything away from how much I enjoy Firewatch. It already has to an extent in that I wouldn't want to play Firewatch next. Basically it raised two points with me yesterday... 1) Maybe don't always feel compelled to see a game through to completion. Yes I paid for Ether One, but quite frankly it's more important to always enjoy your time. 2) You should probably always play the game that you have a desire to play there and then, despite other games you've built up.

I agree with the IGN Podcast though. Being a full price release is a bit of a joke considering what they've done with it.
