Oddly, my son prefers Zelda games to Mario games.
Not such a bad thing really.
He could prefer post 16bit Sonic games, in which case I'd have to give him up for adoption!0 -

Started Shin Megami Tensei IV and I'm very surprised and impressed by it. Usually the SMT games are quite low tech but make up for it with good art design. SMTIV however is far and away the best looking game I've seen on the 3DS. It looks gorgeous and the production values are really high. It's even got some nice pseudo surround sound through headphones. Persona 4 must have made them a lot of money or else Nintendo invested heavily in them. Also it's a game you should play in 3D, it's got the best looking 3D I've seen on the system. Not too far into the game so can't comment on much else except the soundtrack which is amazing so far. If Persona 5 does come to the 3DS I wouldn't be too worried about it not looking well if SMTIV is anything to go by.

I was starting to get all anxious for the release of the PS4 but a quick look at the launch line up leaves me very cold.
There's nothing there that'd make me want to pay such a premium price, and consign my PS3 to the attic, feck that, the PS3 gets a reprieve and we look again at the PS4 in the new year!
Pretty much the same old story. It's never worth it to adopt early. Try tell that to a kid though
My little fella is in that awkward age bracket where toys "are for kids" & there's nothing else of interest at the mo other than consoles/games. The Wii U is only just starting to come into its own, with a few decent titles on the way...& thats what, a year on? I expect the PS4 & One will be much the same...avoid until this time next year at the earliest 0 -

And then some
And then some, and even then some
But I suppose we shouldn't (although I always do) compare the graphics on a console with that of a PC rig in which the graphics card alone cost more than the total cost of the Xbox One or PS4 (or in my case both combined because I'm a silly nerd).
I've been playing Battlefield 4 the last couple days on PC and the graphics are very nice indeed. I'm sure the 360 version looks a lot less pretty but the Xbox One and PS4 will probably come close enough for most people. The big thing is multiplayer map sizes and user limits. If the next gen consoles can match the PC version and allow the very large maps and 64+ player limit then that will be a big deal, more so than the graphics I think (as the graphics will be very good anyway).0 -

The only thing which has me considering building a fancy PC is to take full advantage of the Rift. Your PC really does need a good bit of heft to get fancier stuff going.
When it comes to retail games Source based ones are about as good as my laptop (Samsung RF511) can really push it graphically in 60fps, stereoscopic and vsync enabled.
I can only imagine the type of computer you'd need to do something like BF4 maxed out X2!
I've a nVidia GTX Titan graphics card and I'd say that even that would struggle with 2 maxed out battlefiled 4's
But with the current dev rift its not full hd so it might handle that fine.0 -

Don't current gen PC visuals do everything that the next gen consoles do?
I'm just finding it hard to see, from videos and what-not of next gen titles, a whole lot to get terribly excited about.
Plus, there are plenty of new titles coming out for the current gen, GT6 and Dark Souls 2 for example.
This from the man who have bought every 'next gen' console on or before launch day over the past 15~ years?I remember happily throwing down the readies for the PS and even the N64, not to mention the PS2 and Xbox. The DC and GC (got those from Japan at launch) I also spent a lot of money on.
And the reason was each of them promised, and normally delivered, a new experience, unique software and, well, excitement over the previous consoles.
MSR, Project Gotham, Super Monkeyball, Mario 64, Wipeout, Chu Chu Rocket, even Fantavision.
But the two new machines?
Most of the titles are also on the current machines, too expensive for a developer to sink money into a project for such a small audience, the install base for the PS4 and Xbox One will be tiny compared to the current gen for the next 18 months at least.
It's remarkable as well, that by the time the 360 is finally consigned to the doom of racks of football management games in the preowned section, it'll probably be over 10 years old! And still considered by most to be current gen in 2015!
Give the next gen machines 6~9 months and then see if there is anything that really stands out. Until then, money better in the pocket
Bonus - in 6~9 months there should be a second hand market already started should M$ decide to let people sell games on...or did I miss a memo?0 -

No, I have given up that racket, aside from Ninty stuff.
The 360 I bought at launch and it was worth it, actually had it some 5 days ahead.
The PS3 took some 7 months before I jumped in with a preowned 60gb machine, even then there was feck all to play on it.
That's the plan!Give the next gen machines 6~9 months and then see if there is anything that really stands out. Until then, money better in the pocket
They have backtracked and now games will be free to sell on and so on.Bonus - in 6~9 months there should be a second hand market already started should M$ decide to let people sell games on...or did I miss a memo?
But.... they do reserve the right to change those terms and conditions should they choose, might be something you have to sign up to later, as there were other features that came along with registering a particular copy of a game to your account, given the amount of work they put into that stuff it seems unlikely to me that they'll simply bin it.
Oh, and Sony can do exactly the same, should they choose.
It's likely that Gamestop or other preowned game vendor would have had to offer a service of de-licencing games from a single account before they could sell that to someone other than the original owner, this was tied to the Xbox One E3 event and Sony appeared to triumph over their position that games would be entirely owned by the buyer, but in the small print they could do exactly what MS were going to do.0 -

Escape plan is pure muck my other half fell asleep despite loving the two leads and their films. I was bored stupid.

Just got done watching this in depth analysis of metal gear solid 2
most of it I knew but others just blows me away
Metal gear solid 2 was built upon manipulating us into believing we were playing as our anti hero Solid snake but gave us a player that sole purpose was to living up to solid snake.
quite a lengthy watch but its well worth a view0 -

Pity MGS2 was a dog to play. Even with the great ideas the writing was so bad it never really fulfilled what it set out to do. The marketing of that game fulfilled it a lot better.
The only bad thing I can think about play-asia's sales is when you tell Sauron you are stone broke. Then stuff you ordered a month ago starts arriving.
