Way too early for Uncharted 4 to get put back due to bugs, I suspect today's announcement was to get it out of the way before E3. With that said, Project Cars' delay is probably due to bugs (as with the previous delays).

Do I need a better splitter to prevent the PS4 from sometimes sending this signal through it?

Capture-device on one end, monitor on the other. Cables are dirt cheap DealXtreme garbage and I want to get better. I know how to switch it back to looking normal in under 20 seconds so it's just an irritation.
Do you have deep color output enabled on the PS4 display settings? That being enabled will cause random corruption with capture with the XCAPTURE-1, I don't know if it could be affecting other devices.

MrLonghair posted:

Why hello there 1080p60 USB3 unit I had in mind for my next purchase. How is that XCAP-1? Relable and stable? Fine recordings and bitrates? No colour-shift issue with HDMI like my current 1080p60 USB3 capture?

(It's that or http://www.magewell.com/hardware/dongles/xi100dusb-hdmi/xi100dusb-hdmi_features.html?lang=en I'm getting, currently using an SKNET device)
I have an XCAPTURE-1 as well, zero issues (well, I had issues with my mobo's onboard USB3 support being unstable, but I solved that by buying a USB3 expansion card). I routinely play my PS4 through OBS's preview window. Don't know about the color-shift issue though.

8-bit Miniboss posted:

Been stable since I stopped using the splitter, it had a hard time keeping EDID info and I would have to power cycle the capture card. I haven't done too many recordings, particularly lossless, but they look good. As far as color shift, I'm not too sensitive to it so I don't notice if there's any. There's a pretty good review from this guy who went very in-depth with it.

http://www.sixfortyfive.com/streaming/xcapture1.html

Edit: Oh yeah, there's one niggling issue, sometimes it will deactivate your power saving settings and run your processor full blast. Resetting power settings fixes it until you reconnect it. I'm told the issue is gone in Windows 8.1 but I haven't updated yet.
Nope, still present in Windows 8.1 for me. Thanks for the tip about resetting power settings.

Why the disdain? The game doesn't interest me much but it seems like it has a pretty creative art direction, ambitious idea, and conveys the feeling of exploration of randomly generated stuff the same way Minecraft does. Sounds like Sony sort of propelled them above the level of scrutiny and expectation they were hoping for, but I don't see why a fairly inventive game idea is "spore-like bullshit" but yet another medieval RPG is cool as hell. It's just a little game about flying around exploring planets.

Lol if you think journey is worth even the price of a new retail game. It was really cool, and priced correctly, but not really worth much more than that.

Alternatively, you could feel like Journey was easily worth the cost of a system and the game, and one of the best games you've ever played. I feel that way, and at least one other person in the thread does. It's weird how sometimes people like different games and can feel very passionately about them, and that it shouldn't detract from anyone else's enjoyment.

No Man's will be on PC and something tells me that if Demon's was on PC you wouldn't have bothered with the PS3.

Conversely, I thought I was missing out on not getting a PS3 because of Valkyria Chronicles since the concept of that game sounded so cool. Then it came to PC and I was all, "Well I guess I didn't miss much"

You can guarantee that EA will rush Battlefront out regardless of whether it's ready or not. They want to capitalize on the launch of the Star Wars movie and according to some investor meeting leak they have plans for a heavy DLC push with that game as well. It will probably wow everyone at E3 with some heavily choreographed gameplay demo like we see with the Battlefield games, get a mountain of preorders, and then launch in a hilariously broken state that isn't fixed until the following Summer.

Battlefront is just Battlefield with a Star Wars skin, DICE is making it too. :dice: So I don't care at all. I just want EA Games to pick up Star Wars 1313 and finish that, or make a Tie Fighter sequel.

The best part about the game is that you never "beat" it. You just begin again. One is never really "done" playing Journey, in the conventional gamer sense.

I picked it up after seeing the trailer with 'Cry little sister' (enjoyed Lost Boys) http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/a4xy9j/dmc--devil-may-cry---definitive-edition-launch-trailer despite having it on PC with all DLC. It plays nice on the PS4 and the differences make it the game a lot of people wanted.

Whether it's worth a purchase depends, if you have played it, this version is worth getting. If you have already played it then you need to weigh up how much the change log appeals to you. Found here: http://www.capcom-unity.com/gregaman/blog/2014/12/15/announcing-dmc-definitive-edition-plus-a-very-special-teaser

e: Devil May Cry 4 special edition coming this summer! Day one purchase.
