Well, looks like there's no previous mission DLC stuff added to the game, but they did sort of tease the return of the silver spiders/gold ants in one of the recent trailers for this, so it looks like they'll just roll them out exactly the same way they did on 360/PS3. It's nice that they moved the spawn point in the wasp queen mission into that safe dead end tunnel that people usually holed up in after the initial drop. Rest of of the mission remains exactly the same besides that... well, when you don't count the crippling darkness that makes fighting the wasp queen much harder than it used to be. Also, did everyone in the thread stop playing it online already or what?

Samurai Sanders posted:I dunno what the point of offline play is really. Online is where it's at. Yeah, it isn't really necessary, but it is useful to do at least a full campaign run offline at least once so you have all the missions available for farming purposes. Also because the online mode REALLY doesn't want you to solo it. (Game buffs enemies thinking it's a 4 player room when trying to play solo. The wiki seems to think this is a bug but I'm pretty sure I recall 2025 doing this as well and might be completely intentional.)

I meant more like, thematically. How arrogant are you if you think you can save the world all by yourself? You need at least one other dude, minimum. Who else are you going to shout EDF!! EDF!! with? edit: NPCs don't count. AIs can't have the BURNING JUSTICE that a human player has. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Apr 9, 2015 |

The EDF4 wiki breaks down the enemy hit point increases like this, and I assume 4.1 is similar if not the same (1.0 is the offline single player value) online 1 player: 1.774 online 2 players: 1.112 online 3 players: 1.478 online 4 players: 1.774 As you can see, don't play online with one player.

It's still the same in 4.1, played the entire offline run in split so I could have another class soaking up armor or get double armor value on the one I was playing. Also, word of warning for anyone thinking of doing this on 4.1 to get the completion trophies faster: Don't. The game will seem to remember which profile did which mission on each class, to the point of if you happen to swap classes between screens mid-campaign, you'll have the completion medals but you will not have the clearing credit. It is impossible to tell which ones you didn't get credit for after the fact.

I am so  about this profile poo poo in general when you are playing in your own home. Still, at least you don't have to worry about "only one mid campaign auto-save per profile." stuff in EDF.One silly "not the end of the world, but come on!" standout in my mind was a Mortal Kombat game where due to profiles, player 1 could pause to look up unlocked fatalities. Player 2's move list still had blank spots, because gently caress you for playing on your couch with friends with out TWO profiles that have unlocked poo poo.

It works just fine on the 360/PS3 because those consoles don't force you to use separate profiles for each controller connected, so this is very much a PS4 specific issue. Hopefully it counts online completion this time around, can't screw that up with multiple profiles. Mediocrity Goggles fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Apr 9, 2015 |

Just bought the Vita port of EDF2/Global Defense Force from play-asia.  I hope it works on my PlayStation TV. It certainly does work on a Japanese PSTV, but who knows about western ones.

So I broke down and bought the JPN version of EDF 4.1. It's the second game that I've ever imported (behind the original Demon's Souls). Trip report!
Overall I'm pretty happy with the experience, but if there's a localization I'll likely end up buying it again so I can play a Fencer.

Brackhar posted:[*] There's some texture popin when levels load, akin to older Unreal 3 titles. One of the things I'm surprised they didn't fix is making the items float when they fall in deep water. Annoying in levels like 81, which seems to be the one to farm in Inferno if you have an Air Raider with good shields and railgun.

Brackhar posted:[*] The caves lacking ambient light entirely changes those levels from a gameplay perspective. They're now really cool and quite daunting. This is the bit that actively terrifies me because all my weapon grinding was done in caves with Thunder Bows. I don't much fancy the idea of fighting the Wasp Queen or a huge bunch of spiders that can see me from way the gently caress off. It looks absolutely gorgeous when you spit lightning down a tunnel, though, and missions like Brute Force have been totally transformed when there's red light from all the flame and explosions everywhere. e: Honestly, if you're wondering what a weapon does, just take it into level 1 and gently caress around with it. I realize Fencer's a fair bit more complex than the other classes but it still holds true. Stelas fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Apr 14, 2015 |

I'm in a wonky timezone and usually play splitscreen with friends but if you want to add 'StelasEldrasiaJP' go ahead and I will fly straight into embarrassing deaths with my sub-par armor score anyday. I probably should have started a save game with my normal account first but I was so excited I mashed the button to play-play-play and then got cool weapons and don't want to restart.

I've played a lot of online co-op games and not once I heard my teammates talking. IIRC, EDF4 had a ON/OFF option in the UI somewhere indicating which players had voice chat active. Did they remove chat completely or is this a PS4 thing I don't understand yet?

So, yeah, I wasn't super convinced about the PS4 import until I played Mission 11. Seeing 100+ airships on screen with no slowdown whatsoever while dashing around as a wing diver was amazing. They need to localize this so I can buy it for a third time.

I can now confirm that EDF2 Portable V2 works perfectly fine on non-Japanese PlayStation TVs. I'm using a European PSTV with my US PSN account, for whatever it's worth. Whether you want to play this on a PSTV is another thing entirely, because Portable V2 seems to be based on the previous PSP port and consequently looks like butt (even by EDF standards). It runs far better than any previous version of EDF2 and plays really well, though.
