Honest question, once new hardware is out how often do you go back to play your older system?

I think I've played 2 or 3 PS3 games since I got the PS4. There are games I'd like to play on it but there is only so much time.
I still play my old systems pretty often, simply because there really aren't that many appealing games available on the new systems yet. In my opinion, of course.
Are there any games being announced this week that you are looking forward to?
The big one for me was Mass Effect: Andromeda. Star Wars: Battlefront looks cool, too, and of course I cannot waaaaiiiitttt to get my hands on No Man's Sky. Not sure about all the other stuff so far. God I'm so picky.

How 'bout you?
Fallout 4, Uncharted 4, Battlefront, No Man's Sky, Mass Effect, Last Guardian, Horizon, Dreams, The Division, and whatever wackiness Nintendo has in store (I would kill for a new Metroid or F Zero). The second and third year of new consoles is when developers really start to hit their stride.

I would only be playing offline, so I'm even more conflicted.

Yeah, I really wanted a single player story mode.

Maybe we can have an RM team.

if there is a legit offline campaign (ie: more than 6-8 hours like the COD games) then i would be down with it. but if the core of the game is the multiplayer then i'm probably out.

At least you can still play the battles offline with bots. And apparently they're including some extra missions within them to spice up the single-player experience a bit, too.

But yeah, if an RM team existed, I'd probably spring for PS+.

There's no campaign, just battles with bots.

PS + is a great deal for the free games every month. I think you would enjoy some of the smaller, independent games that are included.

I'm totally down for a RM-team. Could be fun to chat too.

I wonder if I should start a thread for RMers to post their gamertags/PSN IDs in. I know this thread is "all inclusive," but...

i think we may have had one of those on the old board; I have a few RMers on my friend's list:

I'll play. I've never played it online. I might need some guidance the first time.

I've only done it once but it seemed pretty straight forward.

I think the default online CC is 100cc for public races. I believe you can tweak it when playing with friends. I'm a 100 or 150CC guy. You should try the 200CC. It is insane.

Typically, I play 100 in multiplayer too.
