"at least its a known series" is a weird thing to say especially in regard to a from game which is gonna be a from game regardless of whatever ip they slap on it

I think it's probably a Soulsborne-style game but it might not be, they've made other types of games

Ended up grabbing Wipeout. Can't wait to be really, really bad at it.
The thing that's cool about Wipeout is not the gameplay per se, but more how it encourages you to practise and improve your performance.

On top of the graphics and 60 FPS, of course.

That said, I miss F-Zero, Mario Kart, and Diddy Kong Racing so much. At least I can get Mario Kart on Switch.

There was some interesting stuff in there.

1. There's a kunia wrapped in the string.
2. Japanese instruments identified
3. Clips of older from games that you might get theme mixing from. Some ninja puppet heavy games seemed to mesh with the 5 seconds.

It wasn't direct. But there was some "I'm sending my shadow out" ninja chat. I heard it as 'spies' not literal shadows. But who says the twice dead shadow is literal?

The tenchu puppet themes and shadow chat was really...right feeling. Maybe bringing back a named IP could be Froms ticket to ditching the souls style game without pissing everyone off?

Does the PSone classic of Metal Gear Solid work on the Vita? It lists PSP support but doesn't mention anything about the Vita.

Also how are the Vita versions of 2 & 3?

Wipeout Omega Collection is 20 bucks, 16 if you have PSN+

It's a good pick, Wipeout is a fun game and they include a ton of content even if you were to pay $60.

I think it's one of those games that works on Vita but you have to download/transfer it from a PS3 for some reason. I don't have the Vita 2/3 collection yet but I heard they're excellent ports

All PS1 classics work on the Vita, since they're just emulating the PSP. Some of them don't show up on the Vita store for some reason. (I'm looking at you Spyro)

Not enough for me to care though, especially when PS4 alone is gonna have me spoiled for choice. January alone has Digimon Story: Hacker's Memory, Dragonball FighterZ, and Monster Hunter World all coming out within a week of each other.

They made up for that by putting the Hackmon evolution line in the game.

Hackmon not having his full evo line in Cyber Sleuth was a huge bummer, and I didn't even know anything about Hackmon at the time.

There not being an FeMC in the new one is also a huge bummer, but not as much as Yasuda's continued employment.

Has anyone here tried amazon's base PS4 trade in for a pro? Or has heard how much people are getting from that? My system is a couple years old so I doubt I'll get much.

the performance difference between monster hunter world demo chugging at 15 on my PSPoor, and videos from a pro where it was practically hitting 60, may make me finally upgrade. But I'm getting the PC version eventually so I'm not doing it if the pro is going to cost $350.

I can't even find a link to trade in a regular PS4 for it, only bundles or slims. Best deal I could find for a 500 gb OG was $110 at Gamestop. Best Buy and Target were only offering like $90.

Is it an earlier model? The eject button can glitch out, I don't know if there's a good fix

Eject bug. The eject button builds a static charge while in rest mode, and you just need to get rid of that charge.


Try fully powering down the console for 15 minutes, and unplug the power cord. You can also place your PS4 on a metal surface and that will help.

I traded in my launch PS4 to Amazon to get a Pro in September and got $160 for it. I'm not seeing it listed now though, might not be available to trade in anymore.

Is the PS4 Pro worth upgrading to even without a 4K TV? My launch fat PS4 just crossed the 4 years old mark and I remember my launch PS1 and PS2 both crapping out at around that time. The GS $350 with free Battlefront 2 this week is mighty tempting.

SHINee's back




I'm tempted to trade up to a pro just because it comes with a 1TB drive. I bet with trade in on my year old slim I'd get one for not too much more than a 1TB costs in the hell of Canadian PC part prices. Though I haven't looked at HDD prices in a while so mb it's not too bad atm, esp with boxing day coming up.

Everything I've played so far seems fine on a PSPoor tho so idk how worth it it is without 4k. Do any games have super significant fps upgrades?

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I traded up for that Destiny 2 Pro back in September, it makes a lot of games run a little better and there's more and more games getting PS4 Pro specific enhancements. I know some older games like Just Cause 3 run way better on PS4 with Boost Mode on, Monster Hunter World has resolution/frame rate/visual toggles for Pro function, and everything by Tecmo Koei is getting Pro enhanced modes.

There is no permanent fix short of disconnecting the eject button

Some fixes will work longer than others though

It's just static. If you don't use rest mode every time it won't save static charge. Simple.

Can't speak for Canada but a 2 TB external hard drive is like $70 US, you could plug in and enable it in like 30 seconds
