Posted June 3, 2018 Yes, the gravity rush remaster is pretty well done. You’ll be able to tell it wasn’t originally console centric, but with the relative power of the Vita it holds up pretty well. Ahhh apprenticeship (pipe insulator)days. I don’t miss them, it’ll get better when you’re turned out. Do you mind if I ask what you’re apprenticing for?

Posted June 3, 2018 Having recently played Gravity Rush 2, I'm pretty eh on the series. The beautiful art design and great traversal mechanics are really wasted on the bad mission design. The story's a bit of a mess, too. If you enjoy Naughty Dog's brand of narrative single-player games, you'll probably like God of War. And you should definitely check out Doom if you like first-person shooters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 3, 2018 The first Gravity Rush is a great game. The sequel makes the terrible mistake of having a bigger world to explore. The original was a tight game, whereas the sequel feels bloated, with a story that drags on and is less interesting. I loved the original ( both Vita and PS4 versions ) but ended up dropping the sequel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought their pre-show last year when they announced a bunch of games that one knew about because so few people were watching, wasn't received well in general? Personally won't bother tuning in to any of those, but I guess that's just me. Fair enough about giving the hardcore fans something to look forward to though.

I think it came down to expectations. Once again many people hyped up the pre-show as some massive event, when all it ever was about was to give a very smaller games a time to shine outside of the main event. I'll not bother with the VR announcements but i'll keep an eye on the other ones. I imagine the release date will be either Days Gone or Dreams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 11, 2018 Microsoft clearly paid a lot of money to get to announce new games to make for an interesting show, covering up for the fact it has very little in the way of actual good exclusives coming. They were careful with their language and as ever, didn't say which platforms each multiplatform game was coming to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a Microsoft conference, they're not about to promote Playstation. Halo, Gears, Forza, Crackdown, Cuphead, Metro, Ori, We Happy Few... those aren't bad exclusives coming Edited June 11, 2018 by Ronnie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2018 But most of these will be coming to PC/windows as well, so I wouldn't really call them exclusive games tbh. I mean, I have a gaming PC. I'm not gonna go out and buy a new Xbox One just because they had a great conference. I can get almost all the games I thought was interesting on my PC, so that is not a good deal for Xbox.

Halo, Gears, Forza, Crackdown, Cuphead, Metro, Ori, We Happy Few... those aren't bad exclusives coming Well it's pretty misleading to show games they way they did and you then to have to figure out whether it's also coming to the platform you own. I'm not expecting them to actually say it's coming to PS4 but when they show the last slide with the details it could show the usual (small) symbols of supported platforms. If I was the third party dev who made the game, I'd want the public to know my game was coming to as many people as possible. I'm not sure when this leaving out of information started happening, but it's still pretty annoying. When you think about it, paying to announce third party games ahead of their competitor is a bit of a farce - surely this doesn't have any impact on sales in their favour? Same for Sony when they do it too. I can only think MS doing it here is because if they didn't, they wouldn't really have enough games to fill a presentation. Instead of people commenting on the lack of exclusive games they're instead chattering about the cool new games they've seen. Commenting on your last bit: 1 hour ago, Ronnie said: Halo, Gears, Forza, Crackdown, Cuphead, Metro, Ori, We Happy Few... those aren't bad exclusives coming This lineup is quite stale. Halo, Gears and Forza is what MS have been peddling for years now. We Happy Few is not an exclusive - also coming to PS4 and PC. Note that in your list there is not one exclusive which is a new game rather than a sequel. The gulf between Microsoft and PS4 at this stage in terms of existing/coming exclusive content is massive.

Posted June 11, 2018 Their studio acquisitions mean the brand new exclusives are 2-3 years off but it's a big step in the right direction. I still don't see it as misleading that they didn't put Playstation logos at the end of those multiplatform trailers. You'd never see an Xbox logo at Playstation.
