Really? It was like a headline at most game sites like... last year? Mostly because people noticed the Decima engine logo that showed up in the 2nd trailer and asking what that was.

Oh, guess I wasn't paying much attention then. I actually didn't know what HZD was until it got released and people started talking it up here. This and whatever gets algorithmically pushed into my Google Now feed on the days I happen to look at it is about all my gaming news exposure.

It looks like Wipeout Omega can't be bought from the PSN site...?

Hm. Hadn't even heard of Agents of Mayhem until tonight. Looks like they did exactly what I was expecting them too with Saints Row. The street game motif was getting incredibly awkward there by SR3. Funny they kept it in the same universe but ditched the name though.

If you do a search at the top it pops right up for preorder

There's no preorder/purchase button on its store page though. I can only add it to my wishlist.

I just bought it. Maybe it's switching from preorder to on sale in the US and that's hosed the button up.

According to Sony:

Business Insider posted:

Sony has sold 1 million PlayStation VR headsets since its launch in October 2016.
One in five PlayStation 4 consoles sold since November have been the new, souped-up "Pro" model.
"Horizon Zero Dawn," the flagship PlayStation 4 exclusive, has sold 3.4 million copies.

I've seen that kind of weird transitional period from time to time for as long as they have been doing preorders. I attributed it to the very basis of PSN being based on early 90s technology and not suited to like...anything modern at all.

The internet has been trash since day one. Just buy the game at Target like a normal person.

Dude Knack was a contingency incase Crash Bandicoot couldn't be revived. Now that the real deal is back knack is just a dumb redundancy. Sequel was made to try and save jobs at Japan Studio (who's last 6 games have all bombed) and keep Cerny happy so he keeps designing new playstations.

uncharted 4 sold 3 times as much as hzd

hzd's impressive for a new ip though and will definitely close the gap a bit when it gets a holiday season of sales i'd imagine

Uh, UC4 sold like 9 million copies and obviously Killzone was shoved out of the way because they were working on HZD.

Why are you guy telling ME that? I'm referring to that Business Insider article that was posted a few posts up. Sony themselves consider Horizon the main flagship ps4 game according to the article.

I don't think they are quoting Sony with that and I think "new flagship title" just means new IP that is popular in web writer speak.

It just meant it was the major exclusive for the time period it was released. nobody is saying HZD is the new sole exclusive big deal ps4 franchise for all time

I like anime. There's just something about Persona that's just too much for me.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is also pretty good, at the very least far better than you'd expect from a Digimon game. The combat loop is similar to Persona with a bit of Final Fantasy X, and there's an easy way to mitigate the grind to the point that you can basically get any Digimon you want well before endgame unless there's a subquest requirement.

Did the PS4 port of Cybersleuth get rid of the save game corruption the Vita version exhibited?

Wipeout

Pretty much exactly what we should have been expecting, hits all the right spots. Do not expect anything new, it's just Wipeout on the big screen. If you've never played Wipeout, but are trying Omega, you're in for a treat. Once you get the feel down again and :catdrugs:

into the music it's dope.

I haven't dabbled with anything online yet, but largely seems to be something you'd have to coordinate beforehand. Seems to be one game but the three games campaigns are all separate? Or?

Ausgoons, if you're on the fence over buying a PS4 Pro it looks like JB Hi-Fi's having a one-day sale tomorrow with PS4 Pro's as one of the big front-page items. No price listed, but I assume it'll be something decent.
