Fairly good, I think. I only put a little time into it and got side tracked by something I bought that came out. It reviewed fairly high and it's from Platinum Games, who have a track record that I love.

We'll see, it all depends on the developers. One could hope that the PS4 is so much more popular than the xbone that devs optimize for the PS4 and just cut corners to get it to run on the xbone.
You mean like the first couple years of this generation (but reversed for MS/Sony)? Yeah, that's probably what will happen. It's hilarious howbadthe memories of people in this thread are.
The lowest common denominator thing is a load of bunk and has not once been true in the history of console gaming. Also, no one seems to remembers how bad Wii versions of multiplatform games are.
I think we will look back on Blood Dragon as one of the best ideas in gaming... Ever. Reusing an existing investment in a game, and turning it loose with a small team and tight time frame with some totally wacky ideas. Excellent!!!
I've been using my PS3/PSN exclusively for the past few weeks, I figured I better get more comfortable with it in perpetration for next gen. While I LOVE the value of PS+, I really do find myself missing XBL for any type of multiplayer game. I just hope the PS4 OS is a vast improvement over the current XMB. I assume it will be.
Blood Dragon, of all games, being apotentialimportant stepping stone for gaming history isabsurdly hilarious. Hell, people thought the game was an April Fools joke. I truly do hope this model can spur some much needed relief and life into to the AAA revenue model to help cut down on costs without them having to find ways to dick over consumers. It could definitely be significant boon in conjunction with this next generation's games being far easier to develop for due to everyone being on similar architecture and Time to Triangle being massively cut down.
AAA devs need to adapt insome wayor budgets are just going to kill some of these studios who don't sell enough. Would also probably help if they found a way to not spend 50+ million just on marketing.

That used to easily be the best part of being in Gamestop management. Got to meet so many cool people in the industry. I still remember some dude named Brad McQuaid sitting at a little booth by himself trying desperately to give away beta test disks for some game named Everquest that no one had ever heard of in 1998. Sat around and talked with him for a good 30 minutes(I was a big UO player, so he told me all about how EQ was different/better, and just talked about RPGs in general) and took a couple of his disks home to try out and give to friends. Lot of cool chats with people in the industry like that over the years. FYI, Todd McFarlane is a prick(he was there as part of the Ultima Online 2 promotion one year, which never ended up seeing the light of day)

I was at all the conferences from 98-03, they were all in either Dallas or Nashville back then. They hadn't started going to Vegas yet like they do now...too bad :/ My favorite conference memory was going up to the free bar after dinner and grabbing like 4 beers for everyone at my table, I turn around and right behind me in line are the CEO and CFO at the time, Dick Fontaine and Dan DeMatteo...they looked at me, looked at all my beers, then looked at my nametag and just said "Hope you're having a good time". lol, I thought I was boned, they were kind of intimidating when you're just starting out your career at the age of 21.
I'm really excited because I think they will take it too the next level. I think the crazy thing is. Sony is actually more keen to go the Digital route then MS they are just going about it the right way. I guarantee they have studied steam inside out and we will see PSN being very similar to Steam.

My biggest issue with the ps3 ui is when you are shopping on the store and you move from the left side to the game list and the header area suddenly takes a bunch of real estate.
Otherwise at first glance the metro looks better but I always had issues finding stuff there. Never on ps3 even after just buying it. They could pretty it up some maybe but it'd leave the fundamental design unchanged.

I got used to the xbox360 dashboard because of the infared port and infared remote. I tried using the ps3 media remote but the bluetooth "wow it's the future!" bullshit eats through batteries so fucking fast. Most of the gamers i know still watch netflix and hulu more than actually playing games on their console, the infared port sold the hell outta that shit. Change batteries once every 2 years, use it whenever you need the fucker, no bullshit charger or anything, that's just some convenient shit that sony didn't think about.
