Iwritecode Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 07:14 AM) Got the Disney Infinity starter pack for my kids. Don't know if I am prepared for the financial drain those toys will provide We looked into it but the cost is what really turned me off about it. The kids were kinda/sorta interested in it but not really enough to justify it. We bought them a bunch of UB Funkeys when they were popular and they lost interest in those after a while as well. At least they were only 7 bucks for each new character. Plus we’d end up having to buy another PS3 so that I could still play my games.

Kyyle23 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 09:12 AM) Is that kind of like the Disney version of Skylanders? It is exactly that.

Considering games cost anywhere from 50-60 bucks, i thought it was worth it with the little pod and three figures. Those figures are like 7.50 each. sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Nintendo announced some cool s*** today. Among them a New Zelda spinoff and a new trailer for what will be the GOAT game, Smash Bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hyrule Warriors could be very interesting. Dynasty Warriors meets Zelda, i hope they knock it out of the park. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze looks pretty fun too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) I play a lot of PC games on my gaming rig, so I know what games look like with in 1080P with AA. I played the PS4 for the first time today (it was FIFA 14) and I was not impressed with the visuals at all. That said, I did get NBA 2K14 and Madden 25 for $20 combined after trading in 6 PS3 games and a controller.

Steve9347 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I cannot wait to play the new Killzone sometime late next week - and of course, beautiful NBA 2k14.

In other news, the Yankees are still good. Like Steve said, I did play a port (although FIFA was supposed to be a very good port). However, you do understand that developers rarely develop specifically for the PC anymore right? So pretty much all PC games are ports, just with better resolution and AA. So of course I expected better from a next gen console considering the PS3 was basically a PC from 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, there are two different modes. A sandbox-type mode where you can have any character you want to play as and it allows multiplayer. Then there are individual "worlds" that only the characters from that world can access. So you can't have Woody and Buzz Lightyear running around Halloweentown with Jack Skellington. I don't think the individual worlds offer multiplayer but if they do, at the very least you have to have two characters from that specific world. I've also read that the WiiU version has less features because the WiiU is underpowered compared to the others.

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yeah. Sony always has 12 titles up you can download for free. Usually big pretty big titles too. Like right now Uncharted 3, Borderlands 2, and Dragon's Dogma are available among others. You then get to keep these titles forever even if they are no longer available from Sonys 12 game list. Anyways it's your money, but I said it before, the best part of PS4 for me so far is that it forced me to upgrade to PS Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of surprised. Seems like an awesome game but usually handhelds get ignored in these selections.
