I had to save this video clip of a guy on a motorcycle who could probably physically see into my vehicle and somehow didn't notice me.
There must be an infusion of new players thanks to sales. That's how online started out but after a couple of months it had devolved into people camping out in some location outside of camera range waiting to kill you.

It can't play any media files from a flash drive right now. Now I think the web browser still works with plex so if you set that up and load up the webpage of the media server on your ps4 you can watch things.

in a recent update apparently they added the ability to play music off a flash drive? but yeah, no video. Plex in the browser is your best bet but media streaming on PS4 in general is pretty bad and it can't do what the 360 or PS3 could

You can play music off a flash drive (MP3, MP4, M4A, and 3GP)
Open the USB music player to do so; your music has to be in a folder in the root directory named "music" on an exFAT or FAT32 formatted drive.

I liked the Tailing most.
Because when you get bored you just load up into a Firetruck or other kind of truck and just ram the other player then play Keep Away. As long as you can see them your tailing percent rises, but they have to scan to identify you and trigger the Escape.
I managed to block someone in a store once too, that was fun to watch.

Strider kind of annoyed me at the start since there didn't seem to be any consistent way of avoiding damage so they just throw tons of health pick up's at you, but it gets better when you start getting upgrades.

So Capcom just showed off a little more of SFV, and announced that the pot for next year's Capcom Cup has increased thanks to Sony.

From $50k to $500k. :stare:

Wow they're really behind the Street Fighter thing 100%, huh? It's my understanding that instead of it being a case where they're slipping Capcom some cash for exclusitivity, instead they're basically bankrolling a game that wouldn't get made otherwise (like Nintendo and Bayonetta 2) so I guess I can get behind that.

With that and Bloodborne it looks like they're really trying to turn around the notion that the PS4 has no games.

Capcom is in enough of a poo poo situation financially that something that is a hit, but not Monster Hunter big, isn't worth the risk for them when instead they could make like 1000 F2P mobile games instead and get a few big hits out of that.

It's the same reason Dead Rising 3 ever came into existence, so far as I can tell.

It has been funny seeing gamers go "you're telling me that Capcom couldn't afford to make this themselves?! HA! I don't believe that", ignoring the actual market reality the company actually exists in.

But yeah, Sony's going hardcore for the fighting game crowd this generation. The co-marketing deal with Mortal Kombat, having Guilty Gear Xrd exclusive, and now Street Fighter 5 exclusive and porting USF4 over. They want EVO to just be lines of PS4s wherever humanly possible. Hell, they even paid for an exclusive port of Injustice.

I strongly doubt that. There's no way SFV wasn't getting made either way. I think it's far more likely that MS missed out due to their refusal to allow cross-platform play. That's why there's never been an Xbox version of FFXIV, and I doubt that Street Fighter V also being a PlayStation/PC-only game with cross-platform play is a coincidence.

Capcom was saying it wasn't going to be until like 2018 last year. Sony seems to have pushed it up a couple years

To compare, Evo 2014's USFIV's pot was $29,790.

Capcom Cup's this year was $50,000 plus t-shirt sales bonus.

Capcom Cup next year is $500,000.

Sony is going balls deep.

Guilty Gear Xrd probably didn't have anything to do with Sony cashing out on it. The Japanese don't like Xbox, the only thing close to a fighting game community on Nintendo is Smash (which occupies its own little sphere), and Arc System Works has no idea how PC works, so they probably just stuck with what they knew with PS3 and hoped their built-in PS3 fanbase would also upgrade to PS4.
