The multiplayer connectivity was super smooth in Demon's Souls! And I feel like it's the game that is inspiring the seamless multiplayer style of Watch Dogs (and it's one of the big reasons I'm interested in WD now).

It started as a collection of murmurs—people talking about this game, this new game, and boy wasn't it hard? But man it was good, but WOW it was hard, and it really took them back to what games used to be like, when we were young, only it was better and oh man did I mention how hard it was? I spent a long while…

Gotta love the sleekness of the PS4.

These are available?!

Are you sure? I got an XBox 360 as a college graduation gift in Spring 2006. There weren't many games on it but it was already tied to a Microsoft account and I'm pretty sure if I had lost it or had it stolen right away it would have been nothing to re-download Geometry Wars on a replacement 360.

If I remember right it's only by contacting Nintendo directly.

Dat Link statue. O_O

I get that, but considering the pre-order rates it's clear that we're already telling Sony, "Good Job!"

Imagine if everyone decided not to adopt early.

Great preview! That said, while I didn't preorder I'll be picking one up the first time I see it on a shelf. Without early adopters you end up in the situation that the Wii U and PS Vita find themselves in: gamers whining about the lack of games, publishers whining about the shitty adoption rate.

Sony's PS4 FAQ said maximum height of 9.5mm. Though apparently third-parties suggest larger drives will fit.

The only real negative here is that, if I'm understanding correctly, the maximum capacity of drives that will physically fit in the PS4 is under 2TB. Which ends my plan to install a 3TB drive.

The best part of this whole issue is that, as a PC gamer, I know that once you have a half-decent graphics card it's not really the resolution that hinders frame rate (up to 1080p at least).

:O

I won't lie, I wish it was Super Mario 64 2, but it's not. Still looks like a lot of fun though.

For comparison, via this Gamasutra article, it takes 70 minutes to reach the first dungeon in Skyward Sword. It takes 20 minutes to hit the first dungeon in Ocarina of Time. And it takes 2 minutes to get to the castle basement in Link to the Past, the predecessor to Link Between Worlds.

I usually hate pre-order bonuses. Now I still do, but it's because I'm jealous. That's awesome.
