Please keep your questions more in depth if possible. Stuff that usually is not answered by mainstream press or media outlets.
I'm done!
Dragon's Crown: (PS Vita)
- EN and JP audio are selectable per character
- It really does look as good as you think
- Double Jumps and air dashing(dodge) are very responsive, there is a good amount of mobility (Even Amazon has a angled dive kick).
- Moving up and down on the screen is feels slow
- Loot is unidentified, but given a grade. At the end of a mission you can pick what you identify using Gold.
- Items can be level and class restricted
- There will no doubt be a lot of interesting mechanics to the game (Amazon heavy attack drops your weapon on a cooldown, lots of pickup and 'x' # of use items, Arrows, Mana, Food can overheal your health, etc.)
Ys Memories of Celceta (PS Vita)
- Yup it's Ys
Bayonetta 2 (Wii U)
- You fight Angelic Centaurs on top of a fighter jet in the demo
- Looked nice and seemed to hold the framerate ok most of the time
Divekick (PS3)
- Got me salty
- I kept losing to Baz
- Dragged Evilore over and beat him
- I'm still salty
Some weird colorful flying worm game (PS4)
- I dunno what this was but it was very responsive
- PS4 controller feels nice. Triggers are much better than DS3. I like the sticks more too.
The Last of Us (PS3)
It may be a 10/10 cinematic masterpiece, but 720p and 30FPS with 'show' TV's made this a horrible experience. I forgot how bad current gen systems are.- Demo section I played was painfully slow and not directed well
- To be fair I didn't get any of the tension that no doubt builds up during the game. I don't think it's a game that shows well on a demo/floor.
Oculus Rift (If A Tree Screams in the Forest - IndieCade)
It's an indie tech demo that makes use of the OR
The OR is neat, but the current low resolution display and very perceptible lag/latency/input->photon did not immerse me. I'm extremely sad about this as it seems I'm in the minority. Note I mostly game on PC at 90-120FPS.
- Walk a path and have some trees stalk you when you aren't looking at them
- Don't let the trees get you (Tree audio when they creep is unsettling and based on position)
- Having to physically turn around to check for things made me feel VERY much more connected to the tension the game was building.
- I burned the shit outta those trees
Oculus Rift (Sound Self - IndieCade)
It loops the rough sound of your voice into a tunneling visualizer- It's trippy
- I got very dizzy when I stopped making noise and it went backwards at 60mph
- Amazing potential for users under an influence

DualShock 4 Controller
- Great Triggers
- Better than DS3 sticks
- Good D-Pad
- Overall very nice to hold. Would hold again.
Xbox One Controller
- Clicky D-Pad feels pretty decent
- Dislike Bumpers
- Triggers feel different, Spark didn't use the trigger rumble so can't comment on that
nVidia Shield (Borderlands 2)
- Bit small for my hands
- $349
- Had massive audio delay on the unit I tested (Convention WiFi... but video was only 2-3 frames behind, audio was like 15-30)
- Screen is super nice and 720p, but not big enough for me personally.
- It works.
- Feels like I'm playing a console thanks to the delay, I don't like it personally. Could see people using it, but it's limited to local wifi only right now
- They are looking to expand into the cloud (OnLive/Gaikai) to stream to Shield
- Pass
Tower of Guns (IndieCade - PC)
- Roguelike FPS with power ups, weapons, perks, and a map pool that links stuff together
- Neat concept and enjoyable, needs work
Spark (Xbox One)
- Has 2.5D platformed aspect. Flying (Ring game). Dual stick shooter. Creation game inside a creation game. Brawler/action. Everything in the video you can do.
- Sharing can be done in game, or queued to Xbox download from a website. Size limit is by value, you can build a super long path for example.
- Levels can be linked
- F2P, DLC for money
- There's potential here, but I'd like to see them make a game around it before release.
Saint's row IV (Xbox 360)
- Demo I played didn't have super powers. Looks like more SR.
- Current gen is so terrible
Transistor (Supergiant Games) (PS4)
- Beautiful art and animation
- V.A.T.S. like combat system. Also integrated into puzzle solving.
- While in 'VATS' enemies are slow and you move super speed
- Combat is quick!
- Amazing narration and attention to detail
- Oozed soul and polish
Oculus Rift (EVE VR)
- Shit is amazing. BELIEVE.
Witcher 3
