I Think Resogun will be free for PS+. So if you want that game anyway, now may be a good time to start your PS+ subscription.

I will probably eventually get a PS4. I....am not financially able to purchase so freely, right now. I know it will have exclusives that I may want and I also want to play BF4 with the Blu-ray.com people. Playing BC2 with them was an absolute blast. Unfortunately, I sat out for BF3 on consoles, because it wasn't very good. BF3 in general, was kind of a step back. But the consoles versions controlled horribly and were severely gimped in player counts for multiplayer.

It is incredibly stupid how the console companies are going for such a locked down/locked in experience. In the end, I think it will hurt them a bit with PR and eventually they will have to relax things a bit. I think some board members are just crossing their fingers that some how magically consumers will just take it up the ass.

I do also have a solid gaming PC that is a bit more powerful than a PS4. So I will be gaming on that side, as well. and it is shaping up to be one of the most interesting times in recent memory, to be a PC gamer.



But, all total, my gaming habits have severely waned in the past three years. I pretty much only really care about the next Souls game, Battlefield, the next Metal Gear, and the occasional Rally game. Aside from that, I pretty much just have occasional one-off experiences with games that for whatever reason, catch my interest. But it's not like when I was younger, where I played a lot of games, all the time. I go weeks now, barely playing anything.

Yeah there are some more strange omissions coming to light, particularly from Sony:

no 3d blu-ray support or 3D gamin support

the PS4 appears to once again have wierdly incomplete sound optons. the PS3 was like this, until a later hardware revision allowed a complete set of sound options.


I can't believe that SONY hasn't tested 3d blu-rays and gaming to death on the PS4, especially considering how mature it ended up on the PS3. I wonder if they are holding out through the holiday season, hoping people will buy separate blu-ray players, etc. then come spring time, magical firmware that brings all these features...

Here's a quick taste of Resogun, from Eurogamer:





*this game is free with PS+ for presumably the next couple of months.

Sony has now folded under backlash pressure (RE: DLNA, MP3, possibly other things). Looks like their corprorate finger crossing didn't work. On top of that, they are playing the innocent/ignorant/naive card:

Digital Foundry says Dead Rising 3 averages about 20 frames per second...


*hopefully they will iimprove the framerate through patches. Because the game was totally rushed. It was only like three months ago that preview builds were slogging at 10 - 15fps.

The worst thing about the PS4 is that all the footage coming out shows the PS4's PSN store is the exact same design as the current PS3's store design.
WEll, yeah. The PS3's store was face lifted to be in-line with Sony's next gen design cues.

So the PS4 is wobbly like an uneven table?


Mine doesn't wobble at all, for what it's worth. I tried.


Yeah Sony said it's a defect on a small percentage of units. like 3% or something.
