Tyler Perry's House of Pain: A Telltale Games styled FMV adventure

@xeirus: I would have to assume so. Why would any company buy SOE but not the rights to their most successful IP? And since the head of the studio has said they are going to bring their games to Xbox going forward I can't imagine Sony remains involved in any way.

@xeirus: If this worked like a normal studio acquisition then Sony likely sold some or all of SOE's IP along with the company, at the very least including all the games they are currently working on. And I would imagine that Sony is no longer involved in publishing the games meaning they won't be paying the developer. Being an MMO maker Daybreak doesn't need a publisher. They just put the games onto their online platform which they have already developed or on PSN/XBL, neither of which require developers to have an official publisher anymore. So I would assume this is a complete break. Retaining publishing rights to the games they are working on would be really crazy. Then they'll be funding the game but not reaping all of the profits.

I have an unopened PS4 anniversary edition, I am now seriously considering selling it for the ridiculous prices they are demanding and buying a standard PS4 and XBox One, and then going out drinking with the change

I still can't believe that the first console I bought of this(?) generation was a damned Wii U! There just aren't enough exclusive games to justify either of these consoles right now.

It is the better console right now and frigging Rocksmith 2014 has all the DLC which for some reason Sony will not allow for the PS4. I hate my PS4 though, Sony's software sucks, they are so slow and bringing things to the table and they have no first party worth a damn right now, I played my Vita more than my PS4 :\ GTA V runs better on the Xbox One, Ass Creed Unity runs better on the Xbox One, the online is way better on the Xbox One, frigging PSN is always down every other day and the store is slow as fook. On my Vita it often takes several tries to get it to load up the store properly.

I can safely say my PS4 is as useless as the PS3 was in it's early life.

Sony hasn't actually done anything of any worth though, they've just ridden the back of Microsoft's poor 2013 marketing. Microsoft have done so much more in turning it around and they have the better first party right now too. People were worried about the TV stuff and Kinect, well it turns out Microsoft had games too!

I personally wish the console stuck to the original plan, at least then it would have been very different, now we just have two very samey consoles. The whole being able to play without the disc thing would have been amazing as I love buying retail, but I don't want to have to use the disc.

That's a fuckin fantasic nick for Alex, Newsvarro.

I like it.

For me at least, it's more that you never know what an app is going to post on your wall or do publicly on your behalf. Sure, you can go in and futz with the privacy settings (per app if you want), but Facebook also likes to change those settings from time to time. Once you decide that Facebook logins are OK, you put yourself in a situation where (again, if you are concerned about what gets posted on your behalf) you must monitor the changes and spend time making sure all the preferences are how you want them. It's not that I *can't* do that - I just don't want to spend my time or energy doing it. I'll even concede that it doesn't take any significant amount of time to check in on the settings and fix them. At the end of the day though, I'd rather look at 3 more funny cat pictures than put any amount of thought into Facebook. I use it only because of the handful of friends and/or relatives that communicate only through Facebook. If it weren't for that I'd never log in again.

Ah...there's that reminder that GiantBomb is filled with Facebook hating babies. Reminds me of the Internet going crazy over Oculus.

I don't understand why people get on a high horse regarding Facebook, it saves me having to use a combination of 4+ messaging apps to keep in touch with everyone.

Did Mark slap your puppies?

Yiiiiiikes.
