I want a new Everybody's Golf, I'm more into an arcadey kind of golf game than a sim. Not to say I'd not try it though, didn't like the controls on Tiger.
Any idea when Bloodborne reviews will land? I bought a PS4 a few months after launch and sold it pretty quickly afterwards after knowing what I knew in the first place - No games for me. But now Bloodborne is just a few days away, it's going to be hard to keep away from another PS4 impulse buy if it reviews well
A bunch of people in my country already have the game. Apparently it is even harder then any of the other Souls games. No shield changes the game quite drastically and the enemies are extremely agressive. There's no more patient waiting for the right opportunity, it's a lot more reflex dependent dodge & strike.
Atmosphere & design as expected is suppose to be incredible.
Where's the place to preorder from these days guys? I haven't preordered a game for ageeeeees.
Good, you shouldn't
I definitley am going to now pal.
You showed him Swag

Ewww sony. Half the studio gone. Other half most likely working on DLC and I wonder how long they will last.
Just do not get Sony.

You don't get why Sony would trim a studio that delivered a faulty game several months late, and still haven't delivered a PS+ version?
The ps plus version being delayed isn't down to just evolution you know. If they let millions of people on the servers then the servers would die. It's not evolutions fault that Sony won't provide them with better servers.
It's not their fault that Sony sent out the game to die on day one by promising a free version. Imagine how many orders they must have lost because everyone was waiting for the so called ps plus version.
So yes, I blame Sony. Because they should have not promised things they couldn't deliver. The games key component is being online. So it was always going to be difficult offering this as a ps plus game.
And if we closing down studios on the basis of faulty games. Then no studios would exist. At the end of the day nearly every game comes out with some faults.
Doesn't forgive the netcode issues the game still has. If they'd got that right in the first place, server demand wouldn't be as high, and they could have launched the PS+ version on a region by region basis. As it stands, the game has been out for 6 months, and there's still no news on the PS+ version.
Preorders are stupid, so if anything, I'm glad people waiting for the f2p version showed them how dodgy the full release actually was. My plan when I saw the reveal was to play the PS+ version, and upgrade if I liked it. Sadly, there's still no PS+ version, but I know to avoid it based on the hour or so I spent with it.
The difference is Sony can't afford it. Despite a few positive results as of late, the company is still doing pretty cruddy, and while getting rid of 55 unnecessary employees might not generate much money for them overall, it's the little steps that count. Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves.
Netcode was fine, when I played it last week.
And you say 55 unnecessary people. Surely those people were working on getting your ps plus out? So how they going to release it with half the staff?
Like I said, if we sacking staff based on faulty products then we not going to have many developers left. Maybe you should blame the publishers, which in this case is Sony.
Even GTA struggled last week when heists came out. So imagine in this case millions of people going online and trying to play the ps plus version. The servers will crash. So unless Sony invest in major servers, I just don't see a ps plus version coming. Your anger is directed at the wrong people. I'm sure Evolution would have preferred not doing a ps plus version and wasting their time on that.
Not surprising I'd imagine the game has turned out to be a bit of a money pit. It's an ok game but not what they wanted it to be I don't think.
It should've been fine on launch.
I don't care about the PS+ version anymore. I've played the game, and I know it isn't for me. The way they worded it... Supporting Driveclub as a service going forward, kinda makes it sound like it'll get carpet bombed with DLC. Maybe it'll end up fully f2p in the long run? Who knows.
But we're not just talking about a few minor hitches with Driveclub. We're talking about major delays, major issues, and major damage done to the studios reputation. I accept that a lot of games (pretty much anything non-Nintendo) release with a lot more bugs than they should do nowadays, but there's a limit, y'know?
Sony have crap servers - That's not news, but Evolution still put out an average game several months after it was expected to go out. They were in over their heads, and yeah, maybe that is Sony's fault, but I don't really sympathize because it's only Evolution. I do feel sorry for those who lost their jobs, as I've been there, and it's not a nice place to be, but the Studio itself means nothing to me. Sony already killed my favourite racing game studio, and those games launched in beautiful states.

Sony wanted a graphically demanding game to show off the console. Same with The Order and both suffered because of it. Both should have been launch games with Ryse.
Not the case at all. Yes they pushed the envelope graphically with The Order, but Driveclub was marred with issues throughout development and would never have been ready for launch. Plus it's isn't that pretty, certainly doesn't give a true reflection of the graphical power of the system. Really both the next gen consoles released a year earlier than they should have, more so with Sony, but they didn't want to give Microsoft another year long headstart in sales again so rushed the console out when no games were really ready for release.
Agree I don't think it's as good looking as what was promised personally. Not even close to The Order.
Id give you another example. Gran Turismo 5 after like 5 years in development launched as a mess. That was far worse than any condition driveclub launched in, but obviously Polyphony are untouchable.
And the game isn't crap. I wouldn't call it the best racer, but it was decent. Also the Motorstorm series was pretty good, but obviously that won't be happening now on the PS4. I was more annoyed than anyone about the launch problems, which you can see in the DRIVECLUB thread. But at the end of the day, I blame Sony not Evolution.
Should Ubisoft sack half the studio behind AC Unity? Should MS sack half of 343 because of what happened with Halo MCC? Should EA sack Dice employees because the mess that is BF 4. Bigger games than Driveclub have had faults. There is a limit but that doesn't mean the publishers go around sacking half the studio.
It's ashame because another British studio will be gone soon. Even Codemasters are downgrading and we not going to have many studios left.
I actually agree that it's not as pretty. I actually don't think it looks as good as what I saw on youtube which is very weird. I guess I just processed in my head that it was youtube and would be a lot better in person but the difference doesn't seem to be as big as I imagined.
I'm not sure how that's proof that it wasn't meant to be a graphical showcase for the console though. The scope for it is incredibly limited. Everything it does is middle of the road. I don't think it's a bad game it just lacks ambition beyond the look of it. To me it screams launch title.
Plus Xbox had some good exclusives within a year of it's release. Dead Rising, Forza 5 and Titanfall were all well received. They weren't great (well, I think Titanfall was but it definitely had content issues) but they were good solid games, the standard you expect around launch.

Gran Turismo is Sony's biggest IP, so to gut that team would be ridiculous considering GT5 still sold plenty of PS3s for them.
I edited it to say average - Crap was a bit harsh, but it's not my kinda racer. Decent is fair. I never really liked Motorstorm All I want is a new Wipeout game, but that's looking increasingly unlikely.
Ubisoft are the shittiest publisher out there (even trumping EA, in my opinion), and I don't give a damn what they do with their roster of copy paste sequels. Assassin's Creed is a terrible franchise which sums up everything wrong with modern gaming, and I feel bad for the Unity team for being slaves to Ubisoft's bottom line. I bet that studio has people with so much creativity just waiting to put it on show.
343i are pretty useless, I don't think there's any denying that
But again, I'm not condoning mass sackings, I'm just saying it was unsurprising for Sony to do so with Evolution. Microsoft have a lot more money to throw around than Sony do, so giving 343i another chance isn't really comparable to doing the same for Evolution.
Same with DICE & BF4, although why anyone plays BF games nowadays is beyond me...
Rockstar, Media Molecule, Frontier Developments... Those are the three which immediately spring to mind. It's a damn shame.

And do people really think developers purposely rush out their games? At the end of the day publishers set the date of release and they want their games before xmas. Nothing developers can do even if it is broken.
Well apparently the next Gran Turismo will be open world. So wouldn't make sense to have Driveclub open world. It was basically their answer to Forza 5.
I wonder though how long it will take Polyphony to release an open world racer, if it is true. Because the amount of time it took them to develop GT5 was ridiculous.
I doubt anyone thinks this, but they could've at least run a stress test on the servers. Same with Blizzard and the Diablo III PC/Warlords of Draenor launch.
Can't find the quote. But insider was teasing it on gaf and also said Sony have some first party games to release this fall. So we will see at E3.
As at the moment without Uncharted it is rather empty.
And it goes with what Yamauchi wanted to do on Gran Turismo on PS3, but was unable to do.
It is literally empty. They'll definitely have some stuff though I'm sure. Luckily there's a lot of multi-plat and Xbox exclusives I'm after.
They're probably preparing it for the launch of PlayStation 9.
I think it'll be closed track and support Morpheus personally.
I don't expect Gran Turismo to come out this year. Guerilla will announce their new game, but I heard that is a rpg. And if it is, I don't expect that to come out this year.
So all I can think of is a remaster of a certain trilogy.
Apparently Arkham Asylum/City have been remastered for next gen, ffs. When will it end?
And yep, fully expecting Uncharted trilogy. I still expect something else but maybe not. The last 2 years they didn't have anything particularly good either and more than got away with it but nailed in terms of sales.

Strange they taken out Origins. Because a lot of people I know including myself missed out on that due to the next gen consoles launching at the same time. So that is the one most people would have wanted to play. I heard it wasn't as good as the other two though.
I'm guessing it will launch in the next month or so. Wouldn't make sense to launch after June.
It is getting silly now. I'm still expecting Mass Effect, Uncharted, Gears and Skyrim all remastered before the end of year. There will be more remasters releasing than new releases.
I could understand Halo remaster and Gears. They multiplayer games and people will want to play them again on dedicated servers.
Apparently it's launching this xmas.
Would be strange going back to them after Arkham Knight.

I hope they remaster Red Dead Redemption.
I'm expecting Dishonored to get remastered.
Activision to get on the money too and remaster the Modern Warfare collection. Would be good just for COD 4 alone.
And maybe ubisoft to remaster AC. Anything else?

I'd take COD to be fair. COD4 still holds up perfectly, the only issue is the hackers.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a Splinter Cell or perhaps even Tom Clancy Collection too.

My friend works at Guerilla. He doesn't expect their game to release this year but that could change if Sony need a big exclusive around Xmas.
If it's not likely to be ready this year they'd be better just leaving it. The project they're on now is meant to be some big ambitious open world RPG right? So I'd rather it not rushed.
Yeah it is. Looks pretty cool. Definitely their most amambitious game to date.
Sony did make them release Killzone early though.
Skyrim and Fallout 3 are the games I want remastered.
