Not too shabby for an exclusive! I'm about to beat Uncharted 2 on the remastered edition. The only one I played on PS3 was Uncharted 3. Will snag 4 when I see it on sale.

Apparently Microsoft has some big plans for E3, going to be announcing

Xbox Slim, 40% smaller and 4k output capable (not upgraded specs)
xbox stick similar to chromecast
xbox TV similar to a roku (not sure why, stick seems to cover 90% of this)
Xbox New, VR enabled, upgraded specs, spring 2017
xbox interface for PC (not sure what this means, sounds like basically running xbox stuff on your PC tho)
xbox controller update

None of that means shit to me if Sony comes out with neo and it's an actual upgrade. Xbox slim? Microsoft has to do something other than BC games.

2017? Isn't Neo September?

jooka · May 25, 2016

I already stream X Box games to my PC so the interface for PC must be something else or a revamped version or something.

spronk · May 25, 2016

i think its supposed to be an app that literally lets you run xbox dashboard and games on your PC. ie if you have a good enough PC, no need to buy an xbox

then you could run it on your PC, run xbox 360 BC inside it, and run a gameboy emulator inside that. PC running xbox emu running 360 emu running gameboy emu. Inception!!

and yeah word is PS 4k (Neo) is going to release Sept 2016, but it sounds also like the next xbox is quite a bit more powerful too since it will run Oculus Rift

Noodleface · May 25, 2016

4k output? I thought they had enough trouble running games at 900p

Soygen · May 25, 2016

It will display video at 4k(and upscale games?). There's no way it's rendering games at 4k.

That's far too long for Microsoft to wait. They need an explosive E3.

Guess I'm just snagging the Neo and the new GeForce.

Interested for sure in a hardware revision, but the above if done could be pretty incredible.

spronk · May 31, 2016

june PS+ games

PS4: NBA 2K16, Gone Home
PS3: Echochrome, Siren Blood Curse
Vita: God of War: Chains of Olympus, Little Deviants

meStevo · May 31, 2016

Funny how the PS4 games leaked, they were in the alt text of the current Gold games in the final May newsletter.

Looks like Xbox One is now $299 ahead of the expected hardware announcement(s) at E3.

Noodle and Ut's favorite game.

Vorph · May 31, 2016

If you still have a PS3 kicking around, Siren: Blood Curse is a fantastic survival horror game. True survival horror, where you can barely fight back against the Bad Things and generally have to hide, sneak, and run away when seen. Really wish they'd make another game in the series for PS4. There was a rumor of one being in development long time ago, but nothing came of it besides another more recent rumor that Blood Curse is getting the PS3->PS4 remaster treatment.

spronk · May 31, 2016

vita is selling for $120 new on ebay, slim model (LCD vs OLED on original). if you have like 1+ year of PS+ free vita games its not a bad deal for a portable system, although the number of good games is vanishingly small. I don't think I have even turned my vita on in a year

Vinyard_sl · May 31, 2016

Vita is amazing. Def worth a buy

Gator · Jun 1, 2016

I'd play the vita more it they would of designed it with 2 more triggers. Didn't Soy or someone else buy a case that added triggers to the vita? How did that work out?

Vita makes for great portable TV if you download shows/movies and don't want to use your phone or stream.
