So if Grim Dawn is just "ok" is there any other current hotness as far as ARPGs go or is it still PoE and D3 pretty much

Titan Quest Anniversary Edition came out not too long ago. Its a 2006 ARPG and is pretty solid and holds up really well in my opinion.

Yes but its probably best to play with friends. It's basically a Warhammer themed L4D.

That looks really cool, is it on steam? Is the 2 player a versus or a co-op thing? Does it have online? What is it?

It's a Sega Saturn/Arcade game called Kingdom Grandprix, by Raizing. Not on Steam yet, or probably ever.

It's probably actually my least favourite boss in RE4, not that makes it bad, it's just a game filled with awesome boss fights.
I also appreciate that the first real boss you get to is one you can beat even if you're running out of bullets, which most people would be first time through.

its a day later and i still think the PS Pro is the dumbest thing

iterative hardware makes sense with phones because you're already tied into contracts that bring the price down. it cost me $99 to upgrade from an iphone 4 to the latest one. if i had to pay $400 i wouldn't upgrade!!!

and of course it makes sense with PCs because they are for literally all purposes and between DOSbox and emulators have backwards compatibility extending back to the beginning of gaming

the PS Pro is just like. what if we did the Nintendo New 3DS but without an exclusive game and developers still arent forced to support it? and to make the phone comparison, older iterations lose support eventually, like the iPhone 4 cant run any app made after 2014 basically. so its like the worlds worst subscription because you don't need a console like you need a phone, and it costs way more

I enjoyed it cause the presentation was barely any more detailed than the leaks and had nearly identical information

I can't wait for the "over a half dozen" titles that make use of it while the rest don't bother.

There's two possible outcomes I see here: either they push people to use the Pro and as a result they get lazy about the non Pro versions, or nobody bothers with the Pro and it becomes an expensive curio that drives GameStop trade-ins for the uninformed.

They seem serious about the thing so I expect the quality of 'regular' PS4 games to drop like a rock eventually, with the Pro development as an excuse

Nobody is going to care about it because it's stupid. as much as I love my New 3DS it's also stupid, albeit much cheaper.

Its been funny to watch the 180 on the PS4 Pro. In the PS4 thread up until yesterday, goons were ultra hyped for the system and convinced it was going to be the biggest thing ever. I had known that the crazy off the wall rumors were exactly that, and the new specs leaked a month ago really set expectations in check for those that paid attention.

Depends on how much you like shmups, namely by Raizing. I've never played it, but they make good games. It's probably a fine game.

It's odd that it doesn't have a platinum, even though most people probably don't care. I'm really tempted to pick it up again, it's been about a year since I last played it.

It does seem at least premature, I don't know if Sony will seriously push for it or we'll just see a smattering of half-hearted support. Either way one side or the other is going to suffer at some point, there's no avoiding it.

Soooo yeah I guess I'm gonna wait to see what the PS Pro does to the development landscape on the PS4.

-Devs sorta target the PSPro specs when developing games so the OG PS4 "version" of the game only looks/runs "OK"?
-Devs don't care about the PSPro because they aren't being forced to so it doesn't matter anyway for the vast majority of games?
-4K streaming content somehow grows by leaps and bounds in 2 weeks and weirdos with 4K TVs love it??!?
-I buy a used old PS4 or a PS4 Slim and deal with the maybe-mildly-worse-performance on some games because I basically only want to play Bloodborne anyways?!??

The PSPro seems stupid to me at this point but I guess we'll see where things go.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

I always kind of assumed the reason Sony was making the PS4 Pro was because the regular PS4 wouldn't be able to run VR very well, so they were releasing a console that their VR stuff would work properly on.
