I think I'm more excited for Destiny at this point.

I think Sony's betting on that. That would explain why they're advertising the crap out of Destiny plus the PS4's social features when the game doesn't come out for a good six months.

And that's why I didn't jump on the TitanFall train. Figured the replay-factor was probably gonna kill my interest in the game.

Titanfall is fun in short bursts, I literally don't play any competitive FPS games besides some CS:GO from time to time, so I'm not burnt out on the genre, I just can't kill people match after match for very long. I've been destroying some Dark Souls 2, honestly, since the next-gen consoles came out I've gotten more enjoyment out of my 360 then anything else, between South Park and Dark Souls the old consoles got some decent love in March.

Did, but it's a preorder, so it's shipping now. I'm mostly looking forward to the soundtrack (which I'm disappointed 13-3 didn't come with).

oh i think you got the collector's edition (the ultimate version for 79.99 w/ the soundtrack) i just got the limited edition for 39.99 that just comes with a little 24 page art book.

Slightly off-topic, but I finally found the reason for the "crackling noise" in the dialogue in certain PS3 games. Apparently, it's an HDMI software issue that Sony either couldn't, or was too lazy to fix. After browsing several forums and thousands of posts, it seems that Sony's only recommended solution was to switch to digital optical output.

But that only led to another set of problems.

The PS3 doesn't seem to output full 5.1 surround sound through digital optical. By default, it only processes 2 channel linear PCM, but you can select bitstream (direct or mix) in order to get a nominal semblance of 5.1 surround sound. You'll hear some background music in the rear speakers, but it doesn't do "real time surround", as in hearing an NPC talking through the rear speakers if you turn your character's back to him.

And not only that, the damn console had me running in circles trying to set up digital optical output in the first place! For some stupid reason, the moment you switch to digital optical, multi-source is turned off, effectively muting the sound. You have to manually turn it back on.

Just putting this here in case someone else has a similar problem.

Bought Titanfall for PC, and had a lot of fun the first couple days. "Mash X to eject" is getting a liiiiittttlllllee old right about now though. I hoped that the Stryder and Ogre would change things up, but they really don't. I semi-wish that there was a pilots only game mode, or each class of Titan got its own equipment set.

To be fair, Titanfall feels like a good trial run for the inevitable Titanfall 2...

Apparently pre-orders for inFamous Second Son have topped a million world-wide. It's the first next'gen game to break the million mark in pre-orders.

A big discussion took place among everyone I gaame with about picking up Titanfall for the PC. Seemed like almost all of us were on board, and then none of us ended up doing it. I feel like 6 months from now most people will kinda chuckle at all the past talk of Titanfall being the most anticipated game of 2014.

Pretty much.

Man, this game turned me into a hipster, because I was disinterested in Titanfall before it was cool...

I just bought the regular edition of FF-X/X2 HD. My only real complaint with the new version is the remixed soundtrack.

i forgot the original soundtrack so i can't tell the remixed apart.

i started playing last night and said wow, this game has really aged well. i really enjoyed it. they put in a lot of effort in the remastering of the textures. i forgot most of the story (except i remember Sin's origin) so it's pretty enjoying i'm actually trying to learn blitzball this time. (on the ps2 i lost every match just button mashing)

I've had the original soundtrack for X ever since the game was released, so I know the soundtrack practically by heart, which is why I noticed the difference right from the start.

I spent something like 100+ hours on blitzball my first run through and will probably spend the same amount of time this playthrough as well. I'll probably level my characters to max like I did last time, too. What can I say, I find this game to be very addicting!

Can't wait to parkour around one of the Death Star's many bottomless pits.

I want to be able to curb stomp storm trooper zombies on the death star.

New vita slim is due May 6th for 199 bundled with borderlands 2 comes with 1gb internal memory 8gb stick and lcd screen for increased battery life.

downside is not as good screen as oled. but from my experience the oled screen on the vita begins to have green/black splotches over the screen especially when on dark screens. the reason i sold mine off.

I picked up a copy of Resident Evil Revelations for 360 a few weeks back, I haven't even opened it. I really want to, I've heard good things, anyone have experience with Revelations, is it closer to the survival horror games of the series or is it more akin to RE5 and 6?
