I have a very comfy toilet thank you very much. :colbert:

I also play games at night in bed when the kids are asleep and I don't want to wake them up; so that will be nice as well.

Shadow fall was terrible and full of sections that felt untested. If it hadn't been a launch title no one would have played that poo poo.

'Tech demo' as a pejorative gets thrown around a lot but I think it does suit Shadow Fall more than most other games. Fair enough, they needed something to show the PS4 off with, same as Ryse for the XO.

Well, the very last section of the game is full of bullshit that rivals that of Killzone 2.

Really? I enjoyed the last mission with a more interesting player character and stealth powers much more than the "This is a Quick Time Event except it lasts four minutes" that came before it.

Get high and think of me.


Killzone: SF makes me sad because I feel like they got it so right with Killzone 3 and SF was just a huge step backwards. All the tools were there for it to be Killzone 3 But With More Cool poo poo (The zipline, open-ended areas, the ability to play as a Helghast) but none of it felt well thought-out at all. :(

From what I understand the next game in this series is going to be developed by the Killzone: Mercenaries devs? I hope that pans out better.

I really hope Guerrilla Cambridge (the KZ: Mercenary dudes) have their hands on the next game, because Mercenary is arguably the best game in the franchise.

Same. Killzone 3 was dope af. The zip line was so cool the few times you got to use it effectively. I hope some of those ideas return.

I haven't tried The Crew's beta, but I did enjoy Test Drive Unlimited 2 even though the cars handled like poo poo.
I just liked driving around and exploring...

I got into the Crew beta as well and the handling was one of the worst I've ever played in any racing game. When you combine the lovely handling with the ridiculous rubberbanding AI, it's makes for an awful racing experience. I would kill to have TDU2's handling for the crew. I will say that the open world stuff and customization was good.

Burnout Paradise had cars with lovely handling and rubberbanding AI and that game was great, I'm gonna need to see more before I make a judgement. Like does every single car have lovely handling or is this a Watch_Dogs situation where some cars have lovely handling by design and people extrapolate that to condemn the whole driving model?

This space is reserved for future considerations.
I get the vibe that inFamous and Killzone definitely suffered from being launch/launch window games that needed to deal with new tech. On the surface we know nothing of any troubles, but looking at how inFamous' release date was a total mystery until the end of November 2013 and the launch including a day one patch for adding more NPCs to the world, tweaking graphics, etc. it gives me the idea that they were really stressed for time; in Killzone, there's the weird leap back in the campaign from Killzone 3 and about half the levels feel fully developed but the others feel like "sketches" of levels - areas where the basics are all there, but it needs more tweaking.

On another note, the fact that these graphically pretty games didn't even use all of the PS4's power (both were heavily in development before Sony made the decision to up the RAM) makes me excited for what a game built from the ground up to use it will do. That game will probably involve the words "Naughty Dog."

When you're in party chat, how does voice chat work when you get in game? Is it seamless? I always think it's being broadcast twice, once in party chat, and then again in the lobby.

If you're in party chat, that's it. There's no hiccup when going from game to game but you won't hear anyone outside of the party and they won't hear you.

You probably aren't as good as you think you are, and are actually missing most of those shots!

Here's something that the PS4 actually recorded for me:

Sorry, guy.
Anyone got a Vita who replaced their HDD on PS4?

I try to connect my Vita and it errors out. I assume I need to go into Settings>Remote Play > Add a Device.

I do so. It tells me to launch PS4 Link on PS Vita and input this code. <numbers>

I launch PS4 Link on Vita and it gives me an error about not being able to connect because some other user is already connected to it. (There's not.)

[edit] Resolved. Theres Settings hidden in the bottom right button in the PS4 link app in vita where you can choose something like "Change PS4" and then it searches, etc...

Yeah I had similar issues, eventually fixed it by messing around with settings. Can't remember exactly what was the culprit unfortunately, just try erasing all Vita connection stuff and re-doing it from scratch.

It'll occasionally lock you out that way after a connection hiccup, even with your Vita already registered. Resetting the PS4 fixes this, but of course if you were remote playing from far away...

Yeah I was with them until now but that's a deal breaker for me. Seems like the perfect game for a wheel, I wonder what the problem is. The interface for these USB wheels is pretty well known at this point.

Maybe there's no support at the PS4 OS level for USB controllers?

Logitech is out of the console peripheral market. If they aren't willing to provide drivers there's not a whole lot Sony can do. Regardless of how well known it might be there could be some major legal issues if they reverse engineer and ship their own drivers for it without getting the go ahead from Logitech.

That doesn't sound like all the good stories of Logitech being awesome but I guess sending someone a free replacement mouse that cost $4 to manufacture is different from continued development of drivers :(

They still make and sell their wheels specifically for the Playstation in all of their marketing materials.

edit: Woops, looks like they actually only market it for Playstation 3 support, not PS4.

Logitech did say on Twitter awhile back that they're working on PS4 drivers for the G27. Just who knows when they'll get them done. But yeah, it's not the Driveclub developers' fault.
