At least steam tells you its a crappy game.

Also if they are not playing them what are they judging good on? Steam preorders?

Generally speaking, Tim Sweeney also did an interview with PC Gamer where he basically outlined the approach they're taking with regards the games they'll be selling, essentially, they're taking a curated approach that some people are more in favour of.

The Epic Store won't accept 'crappy games,' says Tim Sweeney

I find that pretty funny given a few years ago (before unity) most of the garbage on Steam that upsets people that didn't want to buy them anyway were made with their engine.

Have only played Heavy Rain, but "good idea very badly executed" was my takeaway from it. Detroit is meant to be better but haven't gotten around to it yet.

They won't accept crappy games but Beyond Two Souls is coming to the platform as an exclusive?

I've only played Indigo Prophecy (seems like the best) & Heavy Rain. They're sort of the MST3K content of games for me. They're halirious to play with friends or livestream and the jokes live on for a long time. The whole "JASOOOON" meme is still around.

Beyond Two Souls is actually a lot of fun in coop, as long as you have a friend who is in on the joke and you are both pretty drunk.

PSVR is front and center there and rightly so. They are clearly fully behind it now thank God.

Retr0gamer · 22-03-2019 4:37pm

I'd be interested to see how much support they give PSVR. It's kind of the Mega CD of this generation. Honestly thought it would be dropped by now going on Sony's past form but think third party support it keeping it going and astrobot shows they still care for now.

How does this differ from Inside Xbox?

We don't have Xbox's so don't know about it?

Same as Retro, I thought PSVR would have died out given Sonys track record, but very happy to still be getting great use out of it. But as you said Retro, it's the 3rd party support that's keeping it alive. AstroBot is to PSVR as Mario is to Nintendo, and I think they will get good milage out of that series. Beat Saber is the must have game for VR imo, and luckily Beat Games are supporting it well. Superhot shows potential and is great fun. And we have the upcoming London Heist full game, so I reckon it will be around for a while.

Will try to tune in to that and see what's in store, but I'm hoping there's a new Move controller, like the one on the PS3 with a thumbstick, will make moving in games a lot easier and more immersive.

They'll probably focus more on Playstation stuff I imagine.

I'd hope they looked at what works on Directs
Less talking, keep it shorter by focusing on quick transitions between content shown rather than unnatural talks with developers & hosts.
That's why the Directs work they fly by watching them, most of the time anyway.

So MS will copy the Show format, by having better games but the same show format?

Or was it a baseless snipe at MS, saying that they are going to copy sony by doing something they started doing a year ago.

But you don't know what Sony is going to do, so how can you say MS are going to copy them (by changing Inside Xbox?) to a format copied from Nintendo?

Baseless snipe? Your getting yourself in a twist to try turn this into frivolous console war thing.
What I'm saying is Directs are more digestible than what others put out so I do expect both to look at that and try do their own.

Hence why I said I'd hope Sony look at more at what Nintendo do and less on stuff like they did at PlayStation Experience which like Inside Xbox is drawn out and boring for most people. Saves money and cuts out a lot of unnecessary hassle.

Baseless snipes? Arrah, I was just joking about about how the Sony one would have games you'd want to play... I didn't think you'd take it personally.

I think Mitch has PS and Xbox so I doubt he cares really about console wars crap.

That has got to be the worst trailer i have seen in a long time.. It just shows random cut scenes from the game with no effort to make anything coherent out of it

Why are they hiding all other aspects of the game? how it actually looks? the gameplay? combat? lol wtf

I was scrolling down to say that. "Return To The Beginning of The Original" and the sh1tty video makes that look like some fan made crap, original what?
