I play it at least once a week or so and just for about an hour or two.

I played some more Fortnite with goons and it was a lot more fun than playing with strangers. Very helpful and friendly.

Fun reveal from PS4 hackers: the PaRappa the Rapper and Patapon "Remasters" are the PSP versions running in an emulator that's just applying upscaling and texture swaps on the fly. They swapped out the game files and now there's a fully functioning PSP emulator on PS4.

If Sony wanted to release some PSP games for play on the PS4, say Maverick Hunter X or Metal Gear Ac!d, I'd probably buy them. Seems like it'd be a pretty low effort thing they could do for some easy money!

THere's probably licensing and stuff involved for releasing anything that isn't a first party game, so dollars-to-donuts the upcoming MediEvil remaster is also just the PSP game.

What is also cool about Fortnite is that it's one of those rare cross platform games. All players from PC, PS4, Xbox, and mobile play together in the same games.

I blame Horace the Endless Bear.

Some of its features are still good, I check it weekly for the free indie games section and I skim the occasional Flare Path.

Epic "accidentally" turned on total cross-play and then turned it off again when players started to notice. I imagine Sony wasn't too happy, but Microsoft didn't seem to care:

Microsoft would probably be doing the same thing as Sony if they were ahead this generation.

I think this legit happened in early/mid PS3/360 era, Sony definitely wanted to try to even things a little and Xbox refused.

Sometimes I still think about how much MS screwed up pretty much everything related to the XB1 and I'm like "drat." Probably one of the most epic self-owns in gaming history.

I seem to remember there was an option to sign into a Steam account from the Portal 2 on PS3 menu, but I honestly don't know if that option ever worked. Portal 2 I think launched the day before there was the big PSN hack and the online was down for like 6 weeks.

If the 360 was an inhale then the XBO was an exhale (from a butt because it's a giant fart).

i like that alongside alienating the vast majority of their us base they also lost the incredibly tiny niche they had in japan and now the xbox one is almost literally a non-presence there

like at the very least they had some of the hardcore shmup crowd last gen, but then CAVE died so well rip

I bought Kirby's Adventure Wii to play with my son when he's a bit older. Saw its rated 10+ for violence so thought I should check the gameplay to see if it's appropriate, got carried away and now I'm like 45% complete

Having a kid is a cool excuse to play Kirby again :)

Pretty sure the E10+ is because you're still attacking enemies with swords and hammers and stuff and making them disappear and be injured.

This might be a good plan. Get a 4K TV with real good HDR, those TVs currently are quite expensive. Don't make the mistake I made and get a cheap HDR TV. This is what I bought because I didnt know better https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FN2B2N/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a great 4K TV, but the HDR is only 8bit and quite weak overall. You want something with dolby digital HDR.

It's funny to think how badly Sony hosed up the PS3 launch and how they spent the rest of the generation clawing their way back to a level where by the end they had sales coming close to the 360. Meanwhile MS with the XB1 have pretty much done nothing but give people less reasons to buy it as they show less and less interest in people actually owning a xbone over a computer.

It is funny that all this has really caused is for MS to be the only one of the three major consoles to have any sort of meaningful backwards compatibility, with Sony only having crossbuy once in awhile and full priced remasters and Nintendo only having full priced remasters.
