They've really cocked up with this mid life refresh in my eyes, I don't think it'll effect sales but purely from a consumer point of view it's not very friendly and inviting. You've got a pointless iteration out now with no price drop (in the UK anyway, I can already get a PS4 for £250) and then a more expensive console two months later touting 4K + HDR but no 4K disk drive?! Plus we all know it'll be upscaling to 4K so whilst that'll look better it's basically just a more powerful PS4 but not powerful enough that any of the footage really wowed me. As someone that doesn't currently own a PS4, it just makes me think I might as well get an original console for £50 off in a month when they start clearing stocks.

So what's even the point of the Slim? Genuinely seems like one of the most pointless hardware revisions ever.

Somewhat irrelevant but: remember the days of dog shit live streams and having to spend most of a conference flitting between sources to find one that wouldn't freeze every 3 minutes. Thank god for Youtube.

2tb drives are 1.86GB formatted anyway so that's where a good chunk of it goes. 250GB does seem a lot for OS and stuff though.

Golden Abyss was a better Uncharted game than Uncharted 1, that's about it. Plus remember what happened to the last studio that had been making PSP/Vita games for years and tried a AAA title? It was The Order. So yeah I wouldn't get super excited just yet, even though the game does look interesting I'd be surprised if it managed to have anywhere near the level of writing TLOU had.

It was a fantastic game up until the end of Homicide and then it kind of went a bit iffy, was still unique and interesting though. I'd like to see another one with a more focused story and dialogue options labelled correctly (no more shouting at people when I choose Doubt).

The Xbone has backwards compatibility but it's up the publisher what they make available and because people have so happily bought all the barely remastered remasters over the past few years why wouldn't publishers just release the games with that slight bump in graphics when they know people will pay for it?

Forced? You mean the big screen that popped up saying "THIS IS A RECOMMENDED UPDATE THAT WILL BE INSTALLED AT THIS TIME" that you ignored because you have ADHD and have to immediately click past anything that appears on your screen even when it relates to something you don't want.

Still couldn't care less about the size, it sits on a shelf and I don't look at it.

The game itself isn't the issue, the trailer had a pretty normal like to dislike ratio at first, it's all about the bundle as far as I can tell which I find hilarious because we all know how it'll end up:

1. Activision does nothing, releases the bundles as announced

2. Most of the people complaining buy it anyway, because try explaining to your friends that "yeah there was an internet campaign and now I can't play games with you"

3. 6 months or so down the line they release MW: Remastered separately for $40 or something.

4. The rest of the complainers think they won even though it was Activisions plan all along and pick up the game.

People might not like their games but Activision generally make great business decisions, let's not forget that they came up with Skylanders which is genius. Some companies might pander to the audience and announce it separately but I think Activision know well enough that what I listed above is pretty much what'll happen.
