My thoughts on the TLoU remaster?

FUCKING         

For those that don't understand the reference.

Stop me if I've mentioned this before, but the euphoria CVG's AC is expressing over this makes me rather annoyed.  Probably because many of the same would slag off Nintendo for doing the same thing - or, y'know, producing another Mario game that's completely different to the last one but in which Peach gets kidnapped again.  I can understand the appeal for those who missed out because they went with the 360 this generation, but seeing so many people saying, "Yay, I can play it again in PS4-o-vision!" makes me weep for humanity.

TL;DR: People on the Internet make me sad.  Again.

Agreed. I don't understand porting a game that isn't at least around ten years old.

What about all the Wii U's launch titles   

Crikey that tlou cover is tacky.  I roll my eyes whenever "this won x amount of awards worship it!" type of things are on front covers, but the over 200 thing just comes off really up itself and tacky to me.  As for my thoughts on the announcement, didn't play it on my ps3, won't be playing it on my ps4 slim.  Nothing against the game, I just don't like zombies, and will never play or read or watch anything focused on zombies or zombie like creatures.

The game has nothing really to do with zombies, it's about the story of ellie & joel is why you play it.

And why nothing to do with as your also missing out on the great Tv series that is walking dead.

I grew tired of zombie games after Left 4 Dead 2, but The Last of Us is extra special.

That clip made me laugh.  That is all I have to say.

The infected in TLoU are not zombies in the truest sense of the word but the themes are exactly the same as the zombie genre, its about people surviving in a post apocalyptic world full of infected beings.

Why don't folk get that about the genre? Its the people that make it interesting not the zombies.

I bet you hate this

Oh my god what is that monstrosity pretending to be a game cover!?     I can barely see the actual cover under all that text!  It makesme very glad my edition is the standard one, bonus content isn't worth dealing with that!

Top Gear Rally 2 was the only game that has an accolade worth a toss on it's cover:



That's the only way you could tell if a game was truly good or not. I've been taking punts on all sorts of games since 1999.

I'm just tired of the post apocalyptic, not really interested in the Walking Dead or The last (story) of Us.

As to that Rally game... I thought in Rally they took turns to go down the track and the fastest time wins. That cover clearly shows a race between two cars!    Definitely a winner.

Here's The Last of Us PS4 Trailer

Hmm, 'Over 200 Game Of The Year Awards' - Coming to PS4.

That is a weird title for a game I must admit.

The Walking Dead is really worth playing though. The zombies are just kinda "there" - it's the characters that really drive the game.

Some slightly dodgy Ubisoft behaviour. Every journalist that went to a Paris event to preview Watch Dogs got given a free Nexus 7 tablet worth £200... (This guy is giving his tablet to charity.)

Wow, certainly seems a bit on the dodgy side from here! Surely if they wanted to hand out trailers a USB stick or SD Card would do the trick, I suspect even hard up games journos have PC access!

Although the game does have some significant tablet integration. Their intention could have been giving these out to make sure the journalists can test that part of the game - although if it was, the communicated it poorly.

Or they could have just showcased the Wii U version. *foldarms*

The GamePad won't have the same features as other tablets - they're designed for use when you're not playing the game on the console.

Sony is selling all of its shares in square enix, I don't know whether this makes me feel worse about se or sony.  It says sony has little faith in se any more and that they may just be a sinking ship, but it also shows how strapped for cash sony is and implies they themselves are a sinking ship. Either way there's one thing this news isn't, and that's good.

Sony has announced of yesterday they've sold 7.4 million PS4's and over 20million game's for it. But to bring up about cash strap Sony only the playstation division is making money.

Perhaps Nintendo should invest in Square Enix?

As much as I think nintendo at the helm of se would likely see better overall products from them I can't help but prefer playing se games on playstation for some strange reason.
