Today's News:
1) Ubisoft announced Far Cry Primal will not have any co-op or multiplayer features and revealed the specs for the PC version of the game. http://www.destructoid.com/far-cry-p...p-332452.phtml http://www.destructoid.com/far-cry-p...d-332473.phtml 2) Sony's CEO Kaz Hirai announced around 100 games are currently in development for the Playstation VR headset although was vague on the split between VR exclusive, VR support tacked on to existing games, etc. http://www.destructoid.com/kaz-hirai...r-332430.phtml 3) Update to the Oculus Rift $599 price tag as Oculus VR boss Palmer Lucky admitted he messed up implying previously the final price would be in the $350 range since he only gave it as an example of the Rift being cheaper than the $1500 that was being reported at the time. Also stated the company did a bad job explaining why dev kits being cheap didn't mean the final version itself would have the same price or be cheaper. http://www.destructoid.com/oculus-ri...--332397.phtml 4) According to a report by Famitsu, 2015 ended up hitting a record low for Japan in terms of the gaming industry with roughly an overall 13% drop in revenues/value, 8.5% drop in console sales, and a 16% drop in game software sales. Wii U sales ended up being 820k and not 80k due to a mess up by VGChartz either due to a typo or with the data translations. http://www.destructoid.com/2015-was-...d-332402.phtml |

Gonna be honest. Super hyped for Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. It's your typical shounen anime game, but they are mindless fun. The big thing though are the visuals. The previous games were drop dead gorgeous, and those were on 360/PS3. This one is on the new systems and I jizz in my pants a little bit every time I think about how amazing it's gonna look.
Kinda sucks that story mode only covers tne last part of the story, and you need all 4 games to get tne whole naruto saga, but whatevs. At least tney have most of the characters including pre time skip stuff in vs. Maybe the next game will be a giant all encompassing story that has everything from chapter 1-700, and the biggest roster ever. |

Played the demo. Pretty much looks better than the anime at this point.
I do fear they've reached the zenith of the combat system a few games ago (as Tenkaichi did at part 3) and they're just trying lateral experiments now. It's just how annual games end up. |

Here's the XBox One placeholder they had. They've said it'll be priced the same as a new console, so $600 is the limit really based on the PS3 price. |

I've had that in my steam queue for a long time now. From what I've heard, it ain't no walk in the park when it comes to flying. You need some real Microsoft flight simulator like experience to get around when it comes to combat, takeoff, landing, etc.
