  1. There's a reason they show people making surprised faces in the beginning of that video.

    Despite having seen footage of the game many times before I still find myself impressed with how good it looks. :o Gonna pick up my copy tomorrow.

    Hope you have a great 24th birthday, in this, the Year of Luigi!

    Also, have a Duke of PIES, to celebrate my achieving a 'Platinum God' achievement in The Binding of Isaac, a game you gifted and introduced me to! So, fitting anniversary.

  3. I just started up some Resogun - that game is awesome. I seem to remember hearing that it was made by the guys behind Super Stardust HD?

    Best game I've played so far on the PS4.

    That's right. Housemarque made Super Stardust HD & Super Stardust Delta(enhanced remakes of the 90s games 'Stardust' & 'Super Stardust') and Resogun. :)

  4. Its a shame that most places are going to have a midnight release for games like COD or GTA or even the new XBO (which also comes out on the 22nd), but I don't think anything special is going to be done for SM3DW :/

    You could always crash the Xbox One midnight launch this friday and buy SM3DW (A Link Between Worlds comes out the same day too). :3

  5. I do appreciate you defending me, Mirb but let's just get past that.

    You know what's gonna be really awesome (when it comes out)? Binding of Isaac Rebirth.

    So far, besides Steam, it's only coming to PS4 & PSV and PS+ subscribers are gonna get it free (along with Don't Starve). It's the perfect game to use in conjunction with the built in streaming.

  6. you were a bit premature

    If you think it's wii u, wii u isn't even really part of this generation, and good reasons why it won't be Xbone have been stated at length

    Did I say that? Stop acting like anything that isn't high praise over the PS4 is a personal invitation for you to sweep in with your stupidity.

    Also "wii u isn't even really part of this generation" - really?

    Why are you obsessed with knocking the Wii U? lol... You seem to jump at every opportunity without fail.

  7. Not really the topic for this but, again, I'm sure the Xbox One will not slouch in sales. Even with Microsoft's fumbled PR this year, the Xbox brand is still very potent. They have practically made 'Xbox' synonymous with games (for the mainstream audience) in the same way Nintendo & Sony did in generations past. The biggest barrier for entry is the price. $499 + the subscription fee + $60 per game. I don't know if the mass market will go for it when there are $100-$200 cheaper alternatives. But the diehards will buy, no doubt.

    Will it sell more than PS4? I doubt it.

  8. R.I.P. Wii U we hardly knew thee. We are sorry PS4 had more games at launch than you currently have and that they are better.

    Since you bring it up, Metacritic says hi. Killzone(75) and Knack (60) have worse scores than NSMBU (84), NintendoLand (77) & ZombiU (77). I'll give you Resogun (82).

    But yeah, a million units in a day is pretty impressive. It's pretty embarrassing that Nintendo sat on it's laurels and Pikmin 3 was the biggest first party game to come out in the whole of 2013 so far. But let's not act like their big guns have already released. The battle is far from over. With Super Mario 3D World out starting this week, sales won't stand still over the holiday, you can bet on that.

    Also I have a theory that Microsoft's PR fumbles earlier this year swayed a lot of Xbox customers over to Sony's side and pushed the numbers up higher than what are usual console launch numbers (400-600k). Not to mention the $100 price difference. Don't get me wrong, I think Xbox will sell out on the 22nd, I just think PS4 got a huge rush of support. Their PR departments were on point this year.

  9. Kojima also announced (after a huge build-up) that the .. er, suffice it to say, very polygonal... original MGS1 model of Snake will be featured as a costume in Ground Zeroes. Yay?

    (Also, an additional mission.) Both exclusive to the PS4 version of GZ.
