PS4K probably doesn't exist and if it does at most it'll be a slim-style revision with an extra chip so it can play 4K blurays easier and won't effect games at all.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't some stuff about the AC movie there, but Watch Dogs 2 is tagging in for Ubisoft's Big Open-World Game this year so ready your iconic caps!

EDIT BECAUSE DOUBLEPOSTING BITES:

windows 10 only for some reason.
Reason is that it's a UNIVERSAL WINDOWS PLATFORM app instead of an old-fashioned Win32 program. UWP's currently missing a bunch of poo poo PC gamers are used to, like "proper, non-borderless fullscreen", "the ability to turn vsync off", "support for overlays" and "moddability of any kind".

They're promising to fix a bunch of this in the big Win10 update in May, but it still won't be as flexible and open as the Old Ways, so eghh.

If I recall correctly, while the did okay in he west, the Prime games didn't do well in Japan because of their aversion to FPSs so who know what Nintendo thinks they can do with the franchise these days. Like you'd think they'd do what they've been tending to do these days and just go back to the original formula but I think Metroid doesn't scan as particularly family friendly or like something they can easily make multiplayer unlike most of their main franchises so they're probably reluctant to put a ton of resources into it. Them thinking a single player dark scifi thing doesn't have wide enough appeal also explains the current direction they're taking it.

For what it's worth, it's not like Nintendo didn't notice the incredibly poor reception of Other M, and there are multiple sources that confirm that Sakamoto is no longer in charge of the franchise and is in the same shithole they put Gunpei Yokoi in after the Virtual Boy was a complete flop. Team Ninja screaming from the rooftops that the shittiness wasn't their fault probably didn't help his case.

I don't think they've announced anything yet but I guess they need something to fill in the 'no rear end Creed this year' gap.

I guess people liked how the PC version had a hidden switch that made the game more stable and look and run better in every way that was used for E3 demos because the Xbone couldn't actually run that.

It is amusing that Ubisoft took a weird poo poo on PC watch dogs to keep from embarrassing Microsoft, but on the other hand that game turned out mediocre as all hell no matter how good you could make it look.

I saw your post and just wanted to tell you that I was really worried about this myself but I've been on windows 10 since december and have had no issues. I actually recommend it and I tried going back to windows 7 because i was "bored" and it was stupid and I went back to windows 10.

I'm kinda almost excited for Watch_Dogs_2 because AssCreed 1 wasn't good but then Ubisoft learnt a few of the lessons they should have and made AssCreed 2 and I'm kinda hoping that history repeats itself.

Only problem with W10 is Cortana hearing Russian and Googling random poo poo during Dota 2. She's obviously trying to get me to quit so it's not that big a deal.

right click taskbar, cortana -> hide

you can pretty much turn off all the annoying stuff in windows 10 and all the privacy stuff during installation. Funny if that actually happened though!

Assassin's creed syndicate was absolutely breathtaking and really fun im not sure if you've tried it but if you haven't and like the series it is the best one besides black flag imho. It is probably the best "beat up people viciously" simulator and I ignore all the lore/story stuff but the combat is great.

I think its funny less than 24 hours abgor microsoft was saying quantum break could be a MEGA HIT then it comes out to subpar reviews, and welp

World of Warships takes it to the tub - Would play
MSI reveals their modular mobos - Bleh
Minecraft gets trendier - Low hanging fruit
Shadowloo and the Mishima Zaibatsu - I feel this is Capcom making fun of themselves sorta?
Path of Exile - Standard E.V.E looking interface
Spike Chunsoft's - Cute
Arc System Works - Also cute
Splatoon - Also would totally play at those. Those stands are great.
Humble Bundle - Meh
King of the Monsters: The Movie - That's clever
