I honestly have not been expecting much for the PS4 in terms of PS+ freebies. We've had some very good 'gets' the last few months and those must be expensive for Sony to purchase. Stick It To the Man is not a great freebie, but it's nice that PS4 owners are still getting newer games for free as part of the service.
With owning all three PS+ platforms, the PS3, the Vita, and the PS4, it's turning out to be an incredibly valuable service. And woot! Skullgirls for free!
That's kind of surprising. I would expect Final Fantasy X HD would have a wider audience, although I never actually looked at the sales numbers for either on the PS2.
Can't argue with either not being great games from their time though, I played and loved both. Kingdom Hearts HD might appeal more because of it's including Kingdom Hearts from across platforms (thus increasing accessibility). Kingdom Hearts did have it's issues with simplicity in combat, but the characters made up for that and helped make it a fantastic game.
Bayonetta 2 will be all kinds of awesome, but I am more excited about X simply because I never got to play Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii (didn't pick it up because of price for a long time, although it's down below $60 on eBay now due to reprints, I believe), and I'd like to experience that series for the first time in HD on the Wii U.
I am genuinely curious what the Wii U Watch Dogs will play like with the gamepad support.
@Sphensen, Are you a Dynasty Warriors fan? Hyrule Warriors will likely be quite similar, but I expect it will broaden the appeal of that type of game to a wider audience. And yes, I enjoy Dynasty Warriors.
I always troll the slick deals forums and the CAG forums for sales. Usually, the vast majority of my PC purchases come from Green Man Gaming (a UK based digital retailer) because they often have 20-30% off vouchers that stack with publisher driven sale prices for prices less than you'll ever see on Steam. And for those claiming other sites have better deals, I wouldn't deal with russian based resellers because of the risk of Steam deciding your key was compromised or not for use in the NA region (rare, but it happens).
That said, I often buy from Amazon when they have great deals for PC (and often times the best deals, Tony, their rep gets some great prices for promotions), and purchase the majority of my console games from Amazon or sometimes Newegg, whichever has the best price at the time I'm currently looking.
Picked it up for $15.99 from Gamefly with pre-release discount and discount coupon. The game runs great on my i7 920 and GTX 660 Ti. Auto detected my Xbox controller, and went to town.
While it doesn't have every PC graphical bell and whistle under the sun in the options, it does have enough to make it look gorgeous. Super happy Platinum games has delved into the world of PC porting.
Get a 360 controller for now for ease of use. Most games support automatic detection of an Xbox 360 controller and many will automatically swap button prompts in game when an Xbox controller is detected to be in use.
The dualshock 4 is certainly looking to be the best option in the future, but since official drivers are not out yet, and only fanmade drivers are available, it would require a lot of custom mapping for each game you play.
With an Xbox controller, all you have to do is plug it in and then start playing the game with it like your PC was an Xbox, for the vast majority of games. Other controllers usually require some custom fiddling per game.
