• Sony ad suggests PS4 will be out in the UK in 2013

• FortysixterUK 24/05/2013

  I hope they aren't going to do what MS are doing to the games, and locking them into one console / account and screwing up second hand sales/purchases.
  Get it right Sony, please ! Reply +3

• This is how Xbox One game trade-ins will work, apparently

• FortysixterUK 24/05/2013

  I hope all this issue with the games is just speculation and rumour, and it will all be proven wrong, and you will be able to treat games as you have been able to with past generations.
  If that is NOT the case, I will NEVER buy an Xbox One console.
  
  The ball is in Sony's court to do something completely different. i.e. leave the games market as it currently is.
  
  If they do the same a MS appear to be doing, I will also never buy a PS4.
  I want a games console, NOTHING ELSE.
  
  I don't want to watch my dvds, blurays or tv shows or browse social media on my GAMES console.
  I just want it to do one thing. Play games. NOTHING ELSE.
  
  I also don't expect to have to buy a second copy of a game if my son wants to borrow it and play it on his own gaming account !
  
  In a way it will be a relief if gaming on the next gen consoles are going this way, as I will then be able to :
  
  1) Save lots of money as I will NEVER buy into the new formats.
  2) Catch up with my vast, VAST back catalogues on all my other consoles.
  3) Sit back and watch the sad decline and crash of Microsoft and Sony's gaming
  arms.
  
  I hope they leave the games alone and "as is".
  
  This is starting to look like the first console generation / format in my gaming history that I will never buy into.
  
  And I started with the NES and Sega Master System. Reply +4

• Phil Harrison tries (again) to clarify game ownership, second-hand sales and always-online in Xbox One

• FortysixterUK 22/05/2013

  Sounds like a poor system. If you have 2 xboxes in the house , you can't simply swap your games with the other player as you' d both be constantly changing your logins. I think Sony may be taking a similar route. No hardware purchase will be made for either system in my household until it becomes crystal clear. Between my son & myself, we have a vast collection of Xbox 360 & ps3 games that we simply lend to each other to play, both of us on our own profiles. With only 1 copy of said game between us. If I've read the information about Xbox one correctly this will no longer work. This means our software library would double in cost as each person would need their own " bit keyed" game tied to their respective consoles. Until this is totally clarified in MY favour both Xbox one and ps4 have lost interest from me. I'm not buying two copies of the same game for the same household. Reply +3

• Sony Japan game Panopticon is Vita game Freedom Wars

• FortysixterUK 21/05/2013

  That's a shame, was hoping this would be a PS3 JRPG along the lines of the Persona series. The fact it's being released on a fairly un popular format ( vita, almost as un popular as my Wii-u) means this will never reach the big audiences it appears to deserve. And it looks to hold so much promise as a game....oh we'll, when Vita is going well cheap it will be worth a punt! Reply 0

• Shadow Warrior remake set for PC and next-gen consoles

• FortysixterUK 20/05/2013

  Looks neat but that little video doesn't have the feel of the cheesey fun the original had.
  ANYWAY....

• Metro: Last Light review

• FortysixterUK 19/05/2013

  This will be a sale as far as I'm concerned when it hits the £20 mark, as many games seems to do a lot quicker than they used to. Just keep an eye on the zavvi and shopto specials to buy it on your fave format. Reply -3

• Sony on Vita: "Sometimes you've had slow starts which have suddenly sprung into life"

• FortysixterUK 15/05/2013

  All these informed comments about Vita are very illuminating and have lead me to a stark decision. I'm not buying one unless there's a radical price cut and a list of great titles in development. Wish I'd paid more attention about the Wii-u now :( just buying it and hoping for the best wasn't the best decision I'd ever made. I've recently been buying up psp and nds titles, and there are so many great titles out there ( I'm mostly into RPGs) that I've been spoilt for choice. Reply 0

• Nvidia's Project Shield to cost $349 in North America

• FortysixterUK 15/05/2013

  I just don't see what market they're aiming at, 3ds, psp & vita are pretty clear cut, and if you spent that kind of cash on any one of those systems you'd have a brilliant setup. Good luck to Nvidia but this is not a product for me or indeed any of the PC gamers I know. Reply +2

• SNES classic Super Metroid just 30p on Wii U eShop

• FortysixterUK 14/05/2013

  Waaaaay too expensive for games I can emulate on my PC for nowt!
  Now if they were 70-80 pence each, I'd buy 'em, lots of 'em, but £4 and up ? Not a chance Reply 0

• Pokémon X and Y adds mounts, is set in an alternate version of France

• FortysixterUK 14/05/2013

  I have Pokemon heart gold on DS( the only Pokemon I've played) will gameplay be as good as that or significantly different? I'm loving the games coming out on 3ds but am wary of another Pokemon game after the reviews of the recent Pokemon Dungeon game, guess we'll just have to wait for those reviews to come in! Reply 0

• Shadow of the Eternals launches an actual Kickstarter "due to overwhelming popular demand"

• FortysixterUK 14/05/2013

  I loved the original an GameCube , but I've spent altogether to much on kick starter in the last year and am now under a self imposed kickstarter ban, having backed 26 projects so far! Good luck to the devs though. Reply +4

• Total War: Rome 2 release date is Tuesday, 3rd September worldwide

• FortysixterUK 09/05/2013

  Ive bought sillier collectors editions.
  Not buying this one however, shelves are rapidly filling up with tat. All a good CE really needs is a nice book ( you know, one with words that make a story) or a decent graphic novel, a tin case and lots and lots of in game items that are exclusive to the CE.
  My reasoning? Books are good on shelves. Tin boxes are nice in your games cabinet and exclusive in game items don't take any room at all. Perfect. Reply 0

• Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate: Dat G-Rank - Rockin' the Wroggi set

• FortysixterUK 09/05/2013

  @CygnusReactor
  There are some great games ( just a few ) also worth considering. Mario-u looks and plays amazingly, Zombie -U is a goer for the Dark Souls level of in game cruelty ( fun but annoying just like DS ), Lego City is very funny and entertaining....and...that's about it.
  Did I mention it can play your Wii games?
  Of course if you have Wii games you probably have a Wii......look....give me half an hour...I'll get back to you.... Reply +7

• Wii U to miss out on 15 EA games using Frostbite Engine 3

• FortysixterUK 09/05/2013

  No doubt about it, Frostbite is possibly one of, if not the best game engine on the market. Ninty need to pull a rabbit out of their hat to overcome this, or a bloody big cheque made payable to EA.
  
  So, Ninty, release a new 3d Mario, a new Metroid, f zero, Zelda and so on, or face table top console defeat. Reply +1

• World of Warcraft subscriptions drop 1.3 million in three months

• FortysixterUK 09/05/2013

  Been playing wow since launch, and I now sub on a 6 monthly basis, but I must say whilst MOP is technically a fine expansion, the addition of kiddie friendly bloody Pandas caused several folks I know to quit and for two others who were on the brink of joining decide against it, just because of the cute fat Disney characters ! Those two at least took up my next recommendation of Demon Souls and Dark Souls!
  
  I've not been in wow for a month now, having re-discovered the wonder that is
  the RPG on the DS.
  Nostalgia & Etrian Odyssey , the latter is Dark Souls for the DS, have stopped my wow addiction dead in its tracks, and I won't renew again until the next expansion,
  Which I'm hoping is the one where Arthas , death wing and illidan team up to kill all the bloody Pandas! Reply 0

• There's an RPG sale on PSN that includes Ni No Kuni for £20

• FortysixterUK 08/05/2013

  Even though I've owned it for years...Demon Souls for free on PSN next month....YESSSSSSS....one of my fave games on Playstation, dare I say it, I think I like it more than Dark Souls....but only by a tiny bit...
  Demon Souls score 8.5/10 and Dark Souls 8.4/10.
  Both amazing frankly. Reply +4
