Knack was good.


I am buying Tomb Raider and whatever else gets released in the next 3-6 months.

I guess the next game I'll get is infamous. I'm not sure if anything is coming out besides tomb raider or sometime in February.

I've never played a thief game so it could be interesting. Maybe I'll get it if it looks good , for my b day.

I'm gonna wait until reviews come out but Thief is definitely on my radar.

Thief makes me worry a bit. Despite the game coming out in a couple of months, they have been unusually quiet about the game. I think I recall reading about some development issues they were facing but I really hope they don't mess this one up.

NBA 2k14 taking up all my time. Still haven't started playing AC4 and BF4. Oh and Resogun, Don't Starve, and Contrast.

The thing that bothers me about Thief is the developer publicly stated
I don’t want to put extra pressure on the team just because we can do it if it’s not a necessity. If the players see nothing different, maybe I would prefer to have better physics and stuff like that and not this 60 frames per second frame rate

We don't see the frames, we feel them. It's noticeable and if they can why wouldn't they? sounds like an excuse to me

Thief is on my watch list, but it honestly looks pretty bad.

I was watching the developer preview for it on my phone at work. I could barely see it as really good graphics it but it didn't wow me much. And I have a feeling the whole game will be just like that demo. Im probably wrong as I never played the other thief games but I dunno the whole medieval thing doesn't impress me much.

thief games, to me, have always been awesome in concept, but they just don't play nearly as smooth as i wished when they are executed. they are usually pretty neat games, but a lot of stuff just isn't nearly as good as i hope it would be. like the whole "stealth" aspect of the game is usually pretty half assed, but then again, no games have really done it right. there is always some stupid ai issue with it. but to be fair, it's been a long time since i have played a thief game so i'm sure the tech is different now.

Finished KZ over the weekend and I don't understand why so many people are down on it. It's my first KZ game so I had no expectations but SP experience was above average. The story felt a little rushed but I caught myself stopping and enjoying the scenery. The weapons were decent and so was the ambiance (chapter 3?) was pretty cool.

Besides sp campaign and nice graphics it was just average for me. Story wasn't even that good.

I've played a lot of FPS games over the years and I'm hard to please now I suppose could be part of it.

Driveclub is probably coming out at the end of February/start of March. It is a launch title for PS4 in Japan and it releases Feb 28th there, I doubt they will make us wait if it is finished then and there has been some hints that it will come out then as well.

I'm waiting to play the PSN+ edition. I might spring for the full game if I like it.

Rayman Legends can be pre-ordered for $39.99 at Amazon. Release date of Feb. 18, 2014.

Lol it releases on my birthday. Maybe this or thief depending how it looks and plays. Rayman games are usually fun but I dunno how next gen it will look.

Same. I am expecting to like it though. Evolution has done racing games pretty good and a lot of people from the now closed Studio Liverpool (RIP) work there now (Wipeout guys).

But yeah, I'm waiting to try it first and at least PS+ users get a discount upgrading it to the full edition too :D

I haven't played it since launch week. It's a gorgeous game but so boring. I still have to and want to at least pass it but have no desire to play it.

Thief games have always been slow paced and atmospheric. The control was adequate for the style, but never anything blazingly quick or twitch focused. And it didn't have to be.
As far as the stealth being "half assed", uhhh, compared to what exactly?
Because the AI was very good, especially for 1997 and 1999. And it's really only been surpassed by the splinter cell games.
The worst thing they can do, which is likely exactly what they will do, is turn it into a QTE action set piece fest for the ADHD 13 year old set and try and knock off assassins creed.
I'm sure it will have some decent parts, but the great storytelling, atmosphere and art direction ( not to mention quality non QTE gameplay) I'm not holding my breath for

Since I already bought an Xbox One, I promised myself I wouldn't get a PS4 until there were 5 high-quality AAA PS4 exclusives that I'd be interested in buying. Based on this past console generation, that's not going to happen until year mid-year 3 for me.

I have yet to see a PS4 since launch but I have seen Xbox Ones sitting on the shelf at numerous places.

I still have zero plans on buying one.

Yeah at one point I was like man this isn't over already? I would die so many times especially the free fall parts. But mp was alright it just didn't appeal to me much.
