Excuse me while I kiss the sky.
I think I might go with Far Cry 4 as my next game, never got into Dragon Age, and although GTA is tempting I have played the thing to death last-gen so might wait for it to come down in price before romping through it again in first-person.

Far Cry 4 looks fun, even though it's basically Far Cry 3.5 really, but I'm ok with that :) .

I used to be ambivalent about set time zone vs local time release dates. Then I moved to PEI and now nothing unlocks until 1am if I'm lucky. Looking at you, 4am Diablo 3.

See you bright and early Tuesday morning, GTA.

If a game has launched on PS4 already, then you'll be able to play once the required files are downloaded. If you're in pre-load mode then it downloads everything and then you can play once the game unlocks.

[edit]
Also, supposedly Online Heists are going to legit be in Grand Theft Auto V finally. The first post update for the remaster version is suppose to have the mode and it will be for all console versions.

yeah, I was asking because it just unlocked for me here in Australia and i still have 10 or so gigs to go on my poverty internet.
Regardless it let me in and now im watching the slowest installation screen I have ever seen, 25 minutes after beginning the installation i have gotten to 20%.

Can you already download GTA5 on US PS store? I pre-ordered the digital version from Amazon, but it looks like they send the keys at launch time and I'd really like to make sure it's ready to go asap.

It has to be registered as purchased to let you download, so I think you're stuck waiting on the key.

I was watching my girlfriend play AC:Unity yesterday, and holy poo poo, the framerate is terrible. Did they not patch out the uPlay-framerate issue yet? Or did they, and it just runs like poo poo?

Speaking of AC:U, I found a place where I could glitch out the vanish for 100 points pretty quick. I could just stand to become detected and then crouch to vanish and ended up getting 10,000+ exp in less then 5 minutes.

I've been playing a bunch of Unity and my framerate's mostly been fine. I think I had one night where it was bad for about an hour in one area.

Game's pretty fun! :) There's a tonnnn to do, it's not good for my mild open-world "clean up an entire section of an open world game before moving on" OCD.

OK, the upgrade to 2tb went fine, incredibly easy to swap the drive over. I've gone into Library and added all my games to the download queue. If I put the ps4 into rest mode, will it carry on downloading full games, or is it just patch files that it does in standby?

You might had turn on a option in shipping where it delays shipping any games for X days if a high profile release is in your queue. I turned that on and got Alien: Isolation and Far Cry 4 while having several other games in the queue, which a few were "Now Available".

Ugh. Got GTA, Dragons Age and Far Cry coming tomorrow, and know there's no way I'll get all of them installed with the drive space I have free. So I'm finally going ahead with the 2tb upgrade. Not only have Sony not yet implemented hard drive transfer (so I've got to download all my games again), I can't even backup my saves to USB en masse, you're forced to do it game by game. Considering this upgrade is officially supported and not some hack, it's loving annoying that they make it so difficult.
If you're a ps+ subscriber all your saves are automatically cloud uploaded. You still have to download them one by one, but that'll save you some extra work.

e: I know this because I swapped out my drive Friday and had to do the same thing.

Can I just say how I hate how the PS4 cloud save limit is still only 1 GB?

I have to babysit which saves are uploaded now because they fail uploading if I don't clear out space.

If you replace the hard drive and put the old one into a USB enclosure, will the PS4 recognize the data on it to copy off? Any idea what filesystem it uses?
Not replacing mine anytime soon, just curious.

So is there no way to permanently coop with someone who also owns Far Cry 4, even if you can't do story missions? The way news sites are explaining it is confusing.

exFAT, swapped out with that seagate 2TB enclosure and it reads mp3s out of it just fine

E: Don't know about game data but it seems to recognize it okay with mp3s and update files

I was under the impression that virtually anything could be done in coop including free roam but I could be wrong.

GTA V is getting some awesome reviews. I really want to see the first person stuff but with all the stuff coming out this month it's going to have to wait :(

Binding of Isaac takes up enough of my time as it is and FC4 comes out tomorrow...

I sent a game back Thursday in hopes they'd get it in time for D-Day tomorrow, but it doesn't look like it worked. :( I only wanted Little Big Planet 3 though, so hopefully everyone on Gamefly got DA:I, GTAV, or FC4 instead and they're sitting on a pile of LBP3 still.

Well this DLC has been planned since launch. May have gotten pushed back because of the issues launch BF4 had. But right now BF4 is pretty freaking awesome.

There's also rumors of one last DLC that will have more fan-favorite maps from BF3 or past Battlefield games, but this time completely free to anyone.
