clessaileronI'm just going to keep this quick.
So yeah, it looks like I will get a PS4...when I'm ready. Yes, we will be able to play our used games, we won't have to connect for authorization. It's looking good for them. Okay, so there's Infamous: Second Son and Knack. That's pretty much it, though. That being said, this does not mean I pledge my allegiance to Playstation. Still, I would like to get myself into PC gaming more.
The most frustrating thing is with Microsoft. Xbox One has that whole draconian DRM with the system where you have to log in online every 24 hours to check the game license. There's also the fear of privacy invasion. It's frustrating that this has to get in the way of two games that's of interest for me on the system. One being Dead Rising 3, being that I am a big fan of the zombie game so I know I would be wanting this one. However, the biggest frustration comes in the form of...the return of Killer Instinct. A cult fighting game that only had two games in the series but was so loved in the 90s and it ends up making its big return...on a system with problems that's going to overshadow this game (and the IP is owned by Microsoft). I feel like the system's problems are going to make Killer Instinct dead on arrival. If it's going to be shown off at EVO, I'm bound to play it but it's going to hurt knowing that if it bombs, it's because of a system that's looking to be a pain in the butt.
(On another note, FilthieRich did leave Namco Bandai recently. Instead of handling Tekken and probably dealing with rabid Tales fans, he's...working on said Killer Instinct revival. Feels like it's going to feel wasted.)
Yeah. That's what I got to say.
