Yeah, 2016ish or so.
Can't wait, got Metal Gear coming, I'll finish that quick and then go trade it in for the price I paid for Infamous.
Get a bottle of scotch and some Network and baby, you got a weekend going.

No comparison here, just a juxtaposition. We don't all like the same things.
Although...Metal Gear's the Hulk Hogan of video games? Makes sense, seeing as how turgid and overly-pretentious the series has become.
More like around November when they need to boost PS4 sales for the holiday.
But even if it is 2016, it's still free then and 60 now.

They won't be going back to Sly, Sanzaru Games is on that now.

If they make use of everything I've seen from Ground Zeroes' gameplay, absolutely.
If they start leaning too far on the narrative like MGS4 did, there's a high chance it'll just be more nonsense. Except this time it'll be grim, dry nonsense.

If it's MGS1 or MGS3 nonsense, I'd agree, but MGS2 and MGS4 are just stupid and feel agonizingly long winded. If The Phantom Pain combines MGS 2 or 4 with this darker, blander tone......I can't.
But Kojima has promised to ease up on the cutscenes so we'll see.
Gaming side has dark souls syndrome. And other nonsense.
So I'd be cautiously optimistic after MGS4, the one MGS I don't regret playing.

MGSV is too far away, gaming side is too busy with their panties around their ankles for Dark Souls, Infamous, and Sony's VR headset (yes it's a long ways away too, but it was just unveiled)

No way, gaming side told me VR is the next Wii (seriously, someone said that)

Honestly, I can see why they are doing it, I just don't get why they are doing it right after launching the PS4. This is something you do three or four years down the line, with a much larger install base. You want to break-up the barrier to entry, wait for people to already have a PS4 in the house

Nerds are overstating the importance of this VR stuff - I'm sure it'll be great, but I'll also bet that the price will end up reflecting the market Sony are going for; the niche and hardcore. Also, it's GDC. Y'know, for developers and stuff. The VR's presence, or lack of one, at e3 will give a good indication of the sort of push they're putting behind this thing.
Personally, I'm of two minds. Motion stuff is dumb and I have no interest in waggling around some Move controllers, but a wraparound, eye-tracking way to view the game world? That's the next step towards total immersion, but the obstacle is going to be convincing people they want to play wearing some clunky headset, that and the price.

Right after they make my Rocket: Robot on Wheels sequel.
VR is fun, but it's still only half an experience. You can't physically touch anything and unless you're in one of Occulus Rift's demo boxes that adds wind and moving floors and what not I expect the immersion to be alot less than people expect.
I had a 3-monitor set-up at one point and played some Half-Life 3 on it, was pretty fun because the screens fill out your entire field of vision, but it's nothing more than a silly gimmick.
It's the equivalent to a wrestler who's entire gimmick is their entrance. Fun for a month, maybe two and then it's just another gimmick.

Here's a bunch of trailers for games coming out in 2015, please buy Wii U. LOOK! OVER THERE! IT'S LUIGI!

I'm fine with it being only half an experience - its a passive technology, requiring no input from the player. The other half of the experience fundamentally alters how games are played and I still want to play my games sitting on the couch with a controller. I just want to play a Fallout/Elder Scrolls game with one of these things.

Have none of you tried the Oculus Rift? It's the future. Whether Sony keeps it affordable, well...
Where we're these people saying it's the future two years ago? That's like just learning who Shitbag Cerny is because he spoke at a PS4 reveal. I'd be ashamed to be such a bandwagon jumper.

Watching ROH TV, I like Raymond Rowe's sort-of reverse GTS;
People pay attention when big companies start getting involved.

Absurd. The technology is already here man! It's weird, I would think a board full of hardcore gamers would know this already but hell it feels like there's 3 levels of ignorance now when it comes to forward facing tech.
Yeah :/ still, I dunno. PW had plenty of creepo shit in it too.
InFamous this week
I really thought the PS4 would be easier to obtain at this point. I saw them in stores for a few weeks after launch, but I didn't get one cause I knew it wouldn't be played until InFamous. Now I want to get one and they are nowhere to be found within like 200 km of me. They just raised the price by $50 in Canada, too.

Some people just don't care to keep up on this stuff, I know I don't. I barely even get hyped for games any more. It gets to a week or two before a games release, everyone is talking about it and I go "oh yeah, I should probably pre-order that".
BronsonLee said:
Seriously. Might as well not buy any games, given the number of 3rd party titles that do end up free via PS+
I'm all "what the fuck am I seeing?" And then I was "what in the holy fuck am I listening to?" Best demo ever for sure. Can't wait for PP. If I was hearing what I think I was hearing on one of the tapes...fuck.
I don't see the problem with knowing every InFamous game ends up being a free gift at some point and therefor not wasting money on it and instead using that money on other games.
It's not like InFamous is a game series that you have to play day one. It's a B+ game at best. Also, IT'S FAT!

This coming from Mr. Driveclub!
This past couple weeks has been a huge wad of STUFF to play. I wish I hadn't seen Infamous SS gameplay, it looks the same as the others. And that's fine, I just...had higher expectations.

Haha, true enough I guess - I'm a sucker for a pretty racing game.

Pfft, for you, maybe. Both the previous games are two I'd consider among my favourites from last generation. But what do I know? I enjoyed that Wolfenstein game everyone hated because it wasn't RtCW.

These games always look amazing, but I often find the gameplay to be really cheap. It might have just been the year I played it, but it had the most obvious situational setups and rubberbanding AI in the world.
I played the first inFAMOUS recently, and I wish I had played it when it was released as it has aged well at all. The gameplay was worn thin by the 2nd hour and I ended up finishing the game not really liking it and having zero interest in the entire franchise. When I saw gameplay footage for Second Son yesterday it looked to be exactly the same, but only really pretty. Same gameplay, same missions, same everything. I know you could say that about plenty of games, but it just left me feeling even more disinterested.
Lets wait and see what happens Sandman.
