This is probably late in the game but I just finished Hearts of Stone last night and I have to say that it is probably one of the best bits of DLC I've played through. The main quest was fantastic (better, IMO, than the Bloody Baron questline). The characters and writing were excellent, and I even can't get the main theme song unstuck from my head. If anyone's on the fence about it, I thoroughly recommend it.

Upgradeable consoles have never worked, they just haven't.

I'd like to think it's rubbish but there are supposedly several sources confirming this according to that article.

Who knows, this could actually be the PS5. We know now that development on PS4 started pretty much as soon as PS3 launched so it isn't far fetched to say this is the beginnings of the next console....

I can almost see them making a revision that comes with a PSVR and has the breakout box built in so its "VR ready!"

Someone in another thread guessed that the author of the article (is it patrick klepic? Lol) is misrepresenting a 4k tv ready ps4 slim as a hardware upgrade but i guess we will know in a few months if there are so many devs that are talking about it it must be an e3 feature.

I'm about 10 hours in and I'm really digging it. I gather I'm about half-way through. It definitely scratches that SOTN itch. I actually really dig the artwork and enemy design. Lots of variety.

It's also fairly priced. $18 for a 20-hour, well-designed, deep metroidvania game is reasonable.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

I don't see a problem with a 4k upgrade as long as it's not crazy.

The xbone idea was if you upgrade it will run a game at 1080 60 instead of 1080 30. Sounds like a updated video card is what it boils down too.

It doesn't have to "split the user base". At it should take developers too long to tweak the settings to run on both.

this is supposedly a new machine in developers hands or at least its specs are known to developers. ms was phil spencer thowing bones to suicidal fans after announcing the end of xbox as a console earlier in that speech.

What ends up happening is that devs will target the more powerful system specs, increasing the chances the game will be an unoptimized mess on the older one, and/or you end up with a set of games that are "Better with" that boils down to "You need"

Or the devs won't bother using the extra power because 35 million people have the base unit vs a couple of million using the upgraded one, so it'll get a few games with extra bells and whistles and then abandoned. (See: Sega 32x, Nintendo 64 DD)

Either way, consumers get screwed.

it really seems like a dumb thing unless its just a slim style revision with the vr breakout box inside and some kind of new video output for 4k to cover patricks' vr and hi res claims.

if its really a NEW sony ps4 like the NEW nintendo 3ds they're loving up

Maybe this is a dumb question, but does the Playstation VR come with built-in speakers/headphones? Are we just supposed to use a headphone jack on the unit (at which point I'm not sure how good the audio will actually be, like the 3D Audio)? Or, are we supposed to use the typical TV/theater sound?

It comes with headphones so they're expecting you to use something like that instead of TV.

"What's in the box" pictures show some in-ear headphones. They look like a white version of the Vita set minus the mic.
