@Byshop: I agree with everyone you said. Skyrim was great, but I feel the Witcher 3 is what an RPG should be. The way I feel CD Project Red and Bioware merge WRPG and JRPG. Offering exploration, faster combat but with the narrative of a JRPG. Bethesda is PURE WRPG where theirs next to no story, but has it's own perks in it's own right.

Witcher 3 right now is the Pinnacle of RPG's. I love Biowares stuff too, I LOVE Mass Effect to death. But the Witcher 3 is a better RPG than any other right now.

@gmak2442: But if you do it on Amazon or Bestbuy.com, then you don't pay a dime until release and can cancel anytime. Only at Gamestop and BestBuy in store do you have to put 5 bucks down. The advantage of Best Buy is pre-order online for instore pickup, you don't get charged until your pickup and they keep it for you for a week or two as well. If you just don't pick it up your order is cancelled and your not charged anything. Gives you enough time to decide if you want the game and get any pre order bonus's plus the gamers club rewards. And with both if you don't open it up right away you can return the game if your unsure about it. Best Buy gives you gamers club perks so that's an additional incentive if your part of that.

@miseryguts: One over the other isn't a huge dealbreaker yet. But if you like RPG's and Adventure games, I can based on the future of both consoles the PS4 looks better. Tales of Zestiria is releasing this year and Persona 5 is either late this year or sometime next year. BloodBorne is fantastic and while I didn't care for Dark Souls I really liked Bloodborne. Tomb Raider will come Nov. of next year, but since Fallout 4 releases the same day it's not that bad. I really like tomb raider, I even own an X1, but out of pure rebellion I will wait and pick it up on PS4 or PC.

Also, most of the time the FPS difference between the 2 consoles is minimal. While I can tell the difference between 30 and 60 (but can play games in either). I can't really tell between 28 and 30, and can tell between 1080p and 900p much easier. Both are a good choice, but personally I give the PS4 the nod just because it has JPRG's, a slight resolution increase, and it does install games at a much faster rate from disc.

Is it because it's not exclusive? So do you think it's better to hype random 10th grade cookie cutter homogenized weeaboo crap only because it's exclusive? Or even resort to hyping Godzilla?

My God, what is happening to this place!

I'm familiar with Kingdom Hearts actually, I played it a bit on PS2 and honestly it's the only game of this kind on home consoles I'm interested in. Mainly because it doesn't take itself seriously, something most weeaboo games have massive problems with because OH MY GOD YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA kind of dramatism. Moreover I absolutely love Disney characters and thirdly it has a hack n slash combat system. I can only enjoy turn based combat in Western strategy / RPG games or Japanese SRPGs but I haven't played any of those for a very long time and I've grown out of JRPGs altogether so Kingdom Hearts seem an appealing alternative.

Anyone on board the hype train?

I think I will ask for a reviewer's copy when it's out.

I'm excited, just not right now. The thing is that I know it's years out from an actual release. I know Square is really slow at releasing new games. Once it's close to release, believe me then I will be ecstatic, but until then, I will eagerly await news, but I'm not hyped yet as it's so far away.

No. Please no. Stop. Android peasant.

Don't. Act.Like. An. Idiot.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Lion War, Dragon Quest VIII: Curse of the King, Baldur's Gate 1/2 are on android, and I can play them on my phone at HD. There's nothing of peasant about it.

Cool, it's next gen handheld pretty much, not a home console. First things first, today's games are taking 20-40gb easily if not more. Phone storage has still a long ways to go compared to a standard HDD. For the price, it's gonna be a while before SSD storage can be affordable in large amounts. Even this gen is using Sata II connectors instead of Sata III. Yeah, I have these same games on my iPhone, they are great when I'm a passenger in a car or plane for a decent amount of time, I can hook my PS3 and Wii-U pro controllers to it, but I still only use it on the go, not very much at home unless I get knocked out of a Smash Bros Tourney my friends set up and need something to do while the TV is occupied.

I also have no interest in hooking up my iphone to my TV to play games. I don't want to put wear on my battery by playing games ALL THE TIME. If I receive phone calls, texts or notifications I don't want that appearing during my game. Right now I'm trying to farm Custom Moves for SSB4 with Amiibo's, I would not want to tie up my phone while doing that.

I love that my phone can play games on the go or when I need the distraction elsewhere, but it will never replace any of my home dedicated gaming equipment. Even at home, I would rather play my 3DS or PSVita over the same versions on my phone. I use my phone for Wiki's, Walkthroughs, Strategies while I play my games, its a great companion for that.

And last, your reply to Gamerno6666 is stupid. Yeah, phones can play really old games at HD. It's great, but they aren't even close to playing the Witcher 3 at 1080p, not even on PC's lowest settings at 720p. Phones can compare to handhelds, but not to home consoles or even low end PC's of today.

And just because I'm pretty sure this will tick you off, iOS >Android. *Which is why I rock a Iphone 6+ and not a cheapo android device. While I'm not a fan of Macs, I do like apple in the mobile space.

My Galaxy s5 > Iphone 6 :P, and Android > iOS. And can your iphone measure your pulse or does it have a finger print screen lock ?

And yeh, obviously Android devices won't replace consoles today. But looking at progress Android had done since my cheeking it last time, I would not be so bloody sure about the future, about what can happen in two-three years. If I had to bet money, I would bet it on Android.

I'm still gonna Bet PC/Consoles and Nintendo Handhelds will still be a force to be reckoned with. Just mainly with many of the things I pointed out. Yes mobile devices have improved, but so will PCs and Consoles. PS4 and X1 are nearly 3 years old already, in 3 more years we will probably be seeing the PS5 and X2 or whatever it's called along with a new generation of GPU's. Mobile GPU's just can't compete with a x86 CPU and a GPU made for a device with decent cooling and a power plug and not a battery with limitations.

And also, doesn't it hurt that iOS runs applications just a well on a dual core cpu vs. these quad cores android phones have? Theoretically they are more powerful than apples devices, but apple spends a lot more time in making the OS very efficient. The main thing they have faulted on is the 1gb of Ram. Which, both consoles and PC's right now have way more than the top end android devices and can make much more use of the system than an android phone can due to the GPU being much better. But even then, android phones will see the same disparity that PC's have, way too many hardware configurations to properly. Windows is looking to correct this with DX12 integrated into Windows 10. I don't see anything even remotely similar from the android or iOS side (other than apple has the advantage of hardware parity).

Theirs a very tiny chance you could be correct, but I highly doubt it. Consoles and PC will still remain top of the gaming devices while phones might only take over handhelds (and the only reason I say this is with Nintendo signing a deal, even though we don't really know the full extent of it). But if Nintendo starts making it's games for mobile, then it could change the whole market, but I still feel mobile will just be getting official SNES support... (which you can already get on android and iOS). *EDIT. I guess I should say that you or I can easily figure out how to get SNES and other legacy consoles on our respective phones, but this could be a turner for the casual user.

I personally would still bet on Consoles and PC's still being more popular for actual games than mobile phones in 3-5 years if not longer. Simply as they can always house more powerful components. The also issue that would arise with mobile phones is that their hardware changes every single year. That would be really difficult to develop a new game on as most games take at minimum 2 years to develop if not 3 or 4. The fact that the PS4/X1/ and a PC with a GTX 780/ Radeon 7890 absolutely outperform any tablet/phone 3 years later and they are succeeded by even more powerful GPU's. Even the 7870/7850 in the PS4 and 7770/7790 in the X1 vastly outperform anything in phones today and have been to market for almost 3 years already. By the time phones catch up to that, new consoles and new PC gpu's will hit the market that will vastly outperform any mobile device.

Sorry for the long read, it's just I really disagree with mobile taking over for so many reasons, and many I didn't even list.

Nope. I've had a Samsung Galaxy.....but not for gaming. That kind of low level gaming TBH.

that is what pc gamers think of consoles tho. lol movies

But heres the thing, the difference between Console and PC gaming is not that huge. Sure, PC games do look better, they CAN have better AA and resolution if you pay more for hardware. They can have better FPS and all that depending on hardware. But even with them completely maxed out, the difference between Mobile and Console is vastly greater than Console to PC. And many other differences of having your phone as your gaming device compared to a dedicated gaming device as I described in my previous replies to this thread.

For those voting NO, Why do these games not count, yet TLOU/Journey PS4 does count?

I don't get it.

Any explanation?

Because those games are upgraded for the PS4, Just like the Gears of War Remaster will count as an Xbox One game but GOW 2,3 and Judgement will not.

Many BC games will have higher fps/resolution, which is the minor upgrades those remasters got for PS4.

XBONE library will double PS4's with BC.

Not a single Xbox 360 game will run in higher resolution or higher fps on Xbox One than it does on 360. Not a single one. The Xbox One does not automatically remaster games from last gen you would have to be incredibly stupid to think it does. I don't know anyone that stupid, do you?

And certain titles like the Perfect Dark Remake that actually ran at 1080p on 360, only runs at 720p on the X-1 with BC. and LIke blueinheaven states most games don't run better. Take a look as Mass Effect, it runs way worse on the X-1 than it does on the 360. The only advantage of the X-1 BC is no screen tear, but the FPS suffers because of this.

Thats good to hear. I decided to keep mine since I only payed 36 bucks for it and am still playing the Witcher 3 and have quite a bit of life left in that game. So if takes them a month or so to patch it up then it's fine with me, just as long as it actually gets fixed. If I had paid the full 60 I would have requested a refund, but since it was almost half off, I don't want to risk when it is fixed that there won't be a deal like that on it and having to pay full price. I could essentially play it now if I wanted too, leaving the FPS lock on at 30, it pretty much stays there from what I have played around with. I cruised around with the batmobile crashing into everything and just flying around and that was with the game maxed out at 1440p. When you uncap it that's when the chaos starts.

Hey guys,

I created a petition for the re-release of Shenmue 1&2 on Steam/PS Store by Sega. I think the newcomers should be able to play these beloved games before the 3rd and long awaited episode comes out.

http://www.petitions24.com/shenmue_12_steamps_store

Please feel free to sign and share!

Id be up for that, I never had a dreamcast and am finding the first game is going anywhere between 70-120 bucks on ebay and the second one for xbox is anywhere from 40-90 bucks. I want to know what this series is about. I don't know if a petition is really going to do it though, I can only think of the Xenoblade one that actually worked. Maybe Sega's facebook page or other social media sites would be better, I believe all the people asking about the lack of Tales of games coming to US did it, because now we are getting every entry so far.
