That's why it will be a while. Sold 5 million out of 90 million ps3s. If they put a next generation budget into it and it only does that same ratio.

i like how they pretend like they have a choice in the matter. the game was a success and i'm certain sony wants a sequel, so we'll get one.

This.

Yea, they probably have the most leeway out of every 1st party studio due to their past success, but Uncharted & the Last of Us exist because Sony pumped the brakes on them wanting to make another platformer. Shuhei Yoshida does have gamers and developers interests at heart, but at the end of the day.... dude is about his money so we seeing a sequel. Makes no sense making a totally new IP just to abandon it after one game.

I would rather them release another new IP instead going back to TLOU. Not every classic needs a sequel. I can only imagine what they'll release after Uncharted 4 is done.
i guess it wouldn't bother me either way because ND is batting a thousand, but i'd like to revisit the TLOU universe w/or w/o the present characters.

Y'all really feeling strider??? The gameplay looked extremely simple.

You know, after a few minutes of me initially playing it, I kinda felt this way and that it is even rather button-mashy (it actually is quite, but not in a bad way as you progress), but I had a feeling it'd probably get better and it does. On paper, it is rather simple, but that's really only if you were to compare it to something like DMC/NG or Gaucamelee, as it's not exactly a combo-orientated style of game like those ones are. But if you look at it like Megaman or SOTN and Metroid, it's combat is somewhat akin to that, but still quite different nonetheless. After a few hours into the game, I can definitely say the gameplay nor combat are outright simple, aside from the fact that most of your skills set are simple enough to do. The amount of different skills and abilities you get in the game and how you use them in conjunction (and are kinda encouraged to and some extent, even forced to doing so) will have you realize that the gameplay is definitely not simple and is quite fun. Some of your additional attack assets and movement capabilities that you pick up are bullet deflection, kunai projectiles, a freeze blade, double jumping, wall & ceiling scaling, and an orbiting shield that doubles in protection and attack assist. This is just a few that I've gained, after about 4 hours into the game, with quite a few more to unlock. A big part of the gameplay/combat itself is also less about your actual attacks, but your range of movement too.

As stated above though, the gameplay is quite button mashy, to an extent, because all throughout the game, you'll most likely have a frenetic and frantic feeling of mad dashing thru droves of enemies whilst quickly and efficiently moving throughout each screen, traversing every inch of it (which is encouraged as you gain skills to get to new, previously inaccessible areas of the map). Like Megaman, your man attack has a quick attack and a strong attack version of it, which the enemies and overall feel of the game have you constantly switching back n forth between the two while combining each new attack and traversal abilities. I liken the mindset of the preferred method of playing to Glengarry Glen Ross' A-B-C's of gameplay, 'Always Be Charging', as you wanna charge your plasma blade at damn near every fukking second of use, but also use the quick attacks in between to quickly dispatch foes. Trust me dawg, game is hella dope.

Also, something that cats like @Kodie will appreciate and enjoy, there's challenge rooms with leaderboards in the game as well.

i played a little bit of the strider demo. my only gripe so far is the fact that you are forced to use the analog stick for movement. i really wanted to play this with the d-pad.

Man I called all the stores in a 25 mile radius and drove around all day trying to find a ps4 and it wasn't available at any of em :why: And I can't order online without have to pay over MSRP :snoop: And then I just saw that they are gonna be tough to find til at least April. I feel like my chances are crippled :wow:

Any tips for getting a hold of one other than calling stores everyday?

Continously refresh Amazon at midnight everyday. That's what I did and I was able to get one right after Christmas.

No tax and free shipping too (and at retail price) :wow:
