Hmmmm I got this email from Amazon:

This is just a placeholder date, right? RIGHT???

Maybe they meant summer in the southern hemisphere

 

[ScriptedReality]

I think you mean GT6, as in Gran Turismo 6.

GTA 6 is non-existent as far as we know.

lol thanks. smh

News on N4G in 3…2...

 

[Syphon Filter]

How much did GT 6 sell so far?

 

[Meh3D]

Thought this was coming out in the Summer.

It has shown up on the PSN store with a release date of 12-31-2014

 

[darkwing]

June release would be awesome, although it's very near the release of Watch Dogs

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

How much did GT 6 sell so far?

No exact numbers, but it sold fifth of GT5's sales last we know.

 

[knerlington]

What? It looks good, but that's irrelevant. I don't even... The smoothness of motion is too smooth,as opposed to 24fps of real life? And the motion is too fast? The speed of the game is identical to that of PS3. You're arguing that you would rather the game have a crappy framerate or it isn't as good.

You're obviously going down the route of the game being more cinematic. Then the game should be running at 24fps. Also, wouldn't you think the creators of the game would want to maintain the cinematic feel by locking the framerate at 24fps?

No it shouldn't be capped at 24fps. It should be capped at 30 because that's completely smooth and the exact sweet spot for gaming since 24 doesn't cut it in terms of input response and at the same time 30 still maintains a motion close to that of real life. Are you retarded? I'm arguing that 60fps alters the experience since 60fps even with the same game speed is too fluid to feel life like. Something that 30fps preserves. The feeling of realistic motion. I'm all for better performance, but increasing the framerate to the double without making adjustments to certain things could result in a less enjoyable experience.

30fps is closer to film motion than realistic motion. 60fps is more realistic in terms of visual feedback and cadance.

 

[-griffy-]

30 still maintains a motion close to that of real life.

This statement is factually bonkers. Real life doesn't have a frame rate. It is as smooth and uninterrupted as motion can conceivably be. 30 is closer to video/film, not real life. 60, 120, 240 fps would be approaching "motion close to that of real life."

Here is a potentially bad/good idea:

How about add on DLC that makes the game humorous?

Wouldn't you play it again if they redubbed the characters with bad voice overs who said odd things? Would you not laugh if zombie Crash Bandicoot jumped out at you in a hallway and you had to shoot him instead of some other key enemy in that event? I woudln't mind paying for a DLC mode that added in "teh funny".

 

[spookyfish]

Hmmmm I got this email from Amazon:

Yeah, Best Buy sent me an email saying "the new release date is Dec. 31, 2014."

 

[Nightengale]

How much did GT 6 sell so far?

No idea, but it's probably a number that would make it look shameful compared to other GT titles.

Even if it sold 3-5 million, that would be a disgrace for a numbered main GT title.

This is the reason you're not a game designer... or a comedian.

I've been flapping my hands about trying to elucidate this very fact.

This is straight up bonkers.

I can sympathize with your worry that 60fps will look weird, but it's not because of how it looks compared to "real life." You're comparing it to the look of "real life" through a movie camera, which we are all very accustomed to due to thousands of hours of exposure to film and television.

Also, no framerate will ever look like real life because of the way our eyes work. When you rotate your head around, your eyes repeatedly fix on discrete points in the environment, even if for just a brief instant. You'll never experience the smoothness you see when rotating a camera in a game. These eye jumps (saccades) happen when you're focused on a single moving object as well, again interrupting what would, in a game, appear to be a perfectly smooth motion.

I watched a playthrough of the 'Left Behind' dlc the other day and what a lovely little bit of dlc that was.
Anyway what i was going to say was there is that part where the black girl turns on the power in the mall and they walk around that carousel thats lit up and it was reflecting in the water on the floor and it just looked amazing. I bet we get plenty of screen shots of that bit on here when the PS4 version launches, it should look jaw dropping!.

That's neither a good nor bad idea. It's a shit idea.

 

[Strider]

I just got an e-mail from Amazon that said my pre-order would arrive June 20. Anyone else get this and was this known?

Edit: Ok I see above other outlets were showing the same date. Just add Amazon to that list then

[dugdug]

Yeah, sure. Just add a fart track to the game.

Christ, no. The little bits of funny stuff in the game is already perfect. Quick moments of levity among such a brutal and depressing atmosphere are far more effective than lame, shoe horned "comedy"

 

[InfiniteNine]

Got an order update a few hours ago:

"The Last of Us Remastered - PlayStation 4"
Previous estimated arrival date: December 31, 2014
New estimated arrival date: June 20, 2014

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Yeah, the pun jokes are great.

 

[Skeff]

Got an order update a few hours ago:

I'm ok with that, June 20th would be directly after E3, so it would probably get a lot of attention there and they could use E3 as a TLoU Hype machine, just slipping it into interviews etc.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Got another order update from Amazon, removing the June date and sending it back to the placeholder December. Strange.

I can't wait to see how Left Behind looks on PS4. I really liked how you could set the survivors and the infected against each other, and it makes disappointed it wasn't in the main game. The black girl's name is Riley BTW

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Oh no. I want it ASAP! June is perfect.

 

[SeanR1221]

June 20th sounds good to me. I hate how barren summer release schedules tend to be.

Hope so too. Throw Diablo in and I'll be really pleased.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Updated accolades gif from the higher quality trailer. Still only 20fps but that's plenty.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

I'd love TLOU in 3D... I won't be expecting it though

Would be about the only feature to make this version a must buy for me.

What the hell even happened to 3D at Sony?

Last gen they were pushing it with incredible zeal.

This generation they seem totally dispassionate and apathetic torwards it.

What gives?

I don't think 3D televisions are particularly widespread or popular, so it's not worth the time of implementing 3D if not many people are even going to use it.

consumer apathy

 

[Joeki11a]

Whats wrong with you?

Game doesnt need to come out Summer
let them get the ps4 install base bigger

They should release it in 2 years,
All this begging and crying for a port is not
A good look for ps4, its sad.

You want to replay it soo bad go do it now
On ps3, difference wont be that huge the game didnt look ass cheeks on Ps3.

And how do you magically make
ps4 install base bigger?

Spoiler

Probably by releasing games people want.

 

[Joeki11a]

Youre a fanboy for this game, probably finished it 3 times, seen it all, done it all and still want to pay $65 again for teh high settings visuals, sheep status.

Nobody wants this like you are assuming

They want NEW Games not ports,

New games grow install base, Ps4 needs

Tons of new games that are NOT on ps3

You'll go far.

Why are you so bitter about a game being released now? What changes 2 years from now that it is then ok to release it.

Getting a real answer out of you is probably expecting too much isn't it? Wake up on the wrong side of the bed today did we?

Nobody wants this like you assuming

They want NEW Games not ports

New games grow install base

Nobody huh? Well when the games sells no copies you can claim victory.

Wow.

Gamefaqs is here.

What?... you basically will do that, who are you kidding?, I aint lying to ya just giving you the facts, you will do that guaranteed.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Dude, if you're going to make such a fervent push with something, the least you can do is make a ample commitment to it in the future.

AT LEAST, give us some 3D games and BARE MINIMUM 3D Blu-Ray support.

 

[benny_a]

Joe "Sony's Ryse" Mastahkillah in da house!

Seems like someone is jealous. Need a loan for that 65 $? xD

You sound upset. If the guy wants to drop 65 on it again let him. You don't pay his bills.

Did I accidentally go to gamefaqs? What the fuck.

I'm buying this game. Several people I know who switched from 360 also want it. So I guess that SOME people might want what was arguably the GOTG to be upgraded for next gen.
Edit: dat new tag.
