I think some of that stuff is cross buy, actually.

Cross-buy if you bought the season pass. Are y'all gettin' me? perk/clothing/gun packs that were part of the season pass are not included for free in the PS4 version, unless you bought the season pass. The maps are though.

I only mentioned it because he was making a point as to PS4 owners getting a better deal and...bah...nevermind, it doesn't matter.

Its a shame matchmaking, the clan management system and mid game joining all suck though

Sad but true. Actually matchmaking is passable now at least.

There's also a bajillion balance issues but at this point it just is what it is and it's fun enough to look past the flaws. Id' pay good money to not have so many actions mapped to triangle though. Jesus Christ.

I think you may have misunderstood me still. I noted that I had the season pass as a pre-emptive response to the common argument I've heard - that "Remastered is a great deal even if you have the original PS3 game because it comes with the DLC too", which is moot if, like me, you also have the DLC.

I'm getting tired of pointing this out so I'll just shut up after this post.

THE PS4 VERSION DOES NOT COME WITH ALL PS3 SEASON PASS CONTENT. PS4 version is still a great deal, but if you're playing Factions (which is what I was talking about) then it comes up a little short.


Season Pass content that does not come with the PS4 version but is cross-buy from the PS3 season pass.

- The Survivalist Weapon Bundle: the Specter, Double Barrel, Enforcer, and the Launcher.
- The Situational Survival Skills Bundle: Agility, Awareness, Fortitude, and Scavenger.
- The Professional Survival Skills Bundle: Gunslinger, Bomb Expert, Executioner, and Damage Marker.
- Government Issue Bundle (clothes)
- Rally BundleEdit (clothes)
- Bygones Bundle (clothes)

And the Scoped Weapons Bundle is separate from everything.




So your season pass will still come in handy. :)

four functions on Triangle: open box/pick up items/shiv/revive

two functions on X button: heal/zoom in scope





Just move shiv over to X and things would be so much better. How did this ever pass beta?

Hardline looks like it could be fun, but it's cops and robbers. It's not going to scratch that military shooter itch.

BF4 is phenomenal on PS4. I highly recommend it.
I can't really control what bugs me and what doesn't, but shooting up the city with military hardware as the police in Hardline bugs me, while doing the same thing as military in BF4 doesn't.

Ok, how the hell are you supposed to get 1,000,000 points on the Starter Grid in Pix the Cat?

I feel like I am doing every level not only perfectly but as fast as possible, including grinding as much as I can to get to fever (around level 7), but even then I still run out of time around level 12 with around 800,000 points. What am I missing?

Yeah, Pix the Cat is surprisingly difficult, like you I can't get past about level 12 on either Starter or Main before running out of time and that's with getting Perfects in a lot of the levels. I've literally no idea how to improve my score.....

It's a shame they've locked half the game behind how good you are at it, I want to try the other modes :(

Picked up The Last of Us Remastered because of the sale, and I've only ever played like an hour of it. Whats the consensus, should I start on Hard?

I played on hard and it felt just right, although by the end of the game I did have an abundance of resources.

Trying to shiv someone standing next to a downed teammate and a downed enemy is like spinning the wheel of misfortune. I don't think there has ever been a button in a video game that has pissed me off or ruined my poo poo so much.

That dumb button straight up killed my rambo moment of killing the entire other team tonight.

Downloaded the Japanese demo for Guilty Gear last night. This game is totally on my list now. Can't wait for it. I believe it's supposed to be coming before the end of the year?

I am going to get it as well, but here's the thing: I absolutely suck at Guilty Gear. Always have, probably always will. I still enjoy it, though - so much so that the new Guilty Gear is one of my most anticipated games for the PS4.

Regarding Pix the Cat: am I alone in feeling that the controls are somewhat... slippery? I mean - I'm having a hard time navigating the drat cat at times, missing those perfects. Is it something you get used to eventually?

Shiv, Revive, Special Execute, Open, Pickup.

Precedence would work: pressing Triangle does Shiv > Revive > Execute > Pickup > Open.

So I'm having a weird problem with my PS4.

It refuses to connect to network of any kind (wired and wireless), but otherwise functions perfectly. However, when I go to turn off my PS4, it takes a ridiculously long time to do so, and invariably beeps 3 times during this process. Anyone know what this is?

If it cant connect to a wired network and a wireless the network chip is probably dead.

Maybe try putting it into a DMZ? My PS3 always functioned perfectly, but when Dark Souls II came out I couldn't connect to their servers. Tried for a week, then read online that people with my same router (Comcast's standard issue) were having the same problem. Put it into DMZ and then it worked fine. Could be some weird thing with the router deciding PSN is bad.

Rewire the controller speaker with a small fan instead and have it blow PCP into your face whenever a sound tries to play.

I actually think it might be something like this - my PSN sign in actually fails regardless of what I'm signing in from (I can't log in to the Destiny app via my wifi either, or access the main PSN page), so I'll look into this.

If you've gotten that far in those grids you should be able to play Laboratory and Nostalgia mode. They actually didn't show up for me until I clicked one of their achievements in the mission gallery.

If you don't meet the score threshold there's also an alternate unlock criterion that you'll get eventually from just playing (Collect X Eggs)

Death is whimsical today

My PS4's fan seems messed up, it is horribly noisy now and despite trying to blast out any dust with compressed air and changing the orientation of the console, it still makes a shitload of noise. Anyone had this happen and if so did it ever clear up or did you find a trick to fix it? I guess I'll have to talk to Amazon or Sony otherwise.

I don't think it means cloud saves specifically. It means it is turning off but it didn't complete the entire shutdown process. This could be because cloud save upload timed out before it finished or for other reasons that prevented it from shutting down properly.

The Lab is pretty cool, way more chill than the standard game. Gotta say Pix the Cat is a bit more multifaceted than I originally expected.

I just beat the last extra op of MGS:GZ is it worth earning trophies from this point out in terms of phantom pain extras or can I call it quits at 26% and still get a nice prize in the new game?

There are a few unlocks in GZ that I think may transfer over into PP. How they'll transfer (if at all), I'm not sure.

- Complete "Jamais Vu" on Normal and Hard to unlock two Raiden skins (for use in this mission).

- Complete "Déjà-Vu" on Normal and Hard, recreating all 7 scenes and answering all of the trivia questions at the end correctly to unlock two Snake skins (for use in this mission).

- Complete all missions on Hard to unlock a remix of Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner.
