Or because of accusations in the replies of "stealing" the video. It was probably a random person posting something they liked on their timeline, before the tweet started going viral.

Got myself Uncharted 4 and Journey; Uncharted 4 I could start the download from my PC, but for some reason Journey wouldn't let me, so I came over to the PS4 to trigger the download, went into 'purchased' and... there's Infinite Warfare in here?

I never bought it nor downloaded any demo, and it doesn't say 'demo' nor 'trial' in the title or anywhere else like other games, it outright says 'full game' in the description. What the hell?
On the bright side it's miles better than WW2 and still very active so if you want to shoot mans goons will hook you up.

You say this, but it actually runs perfectly fine on the Pro.

Honestly, more games will start going this way and there's not much anyone can do about it. Eventually we'll be getting Skyrim PS3 style single digit framerates on regular PS4 and the standard 30 or close to it on Pro.

Telltale games never run particularly well, and since they don't seem to change engine since the ps3 times it'll probably not change. PS4Pro's being a little more powerful probably helps with that, but whoever plays their games probably knows what they're getting - it's not an unknown brand.

That being said, I'm glad for another VN on PS+, and Psychopass is an interesting anime.

Bloodborne is a fine game but I cannot bring myself to do a second playthrough. Every time I die in a challenging area my brain just thinks: "you've done this slog before, why are you putting yourself through this again?"

Just finished Infamous Second Son. It was a fun time waster. Nothing great but I'd say it is worth a play through if you are looking for:
  • narrative driven
  • fun characters with great voice acting
  • openworld-lite
  • melee is satisfying enough / nothing complicated

Game is beautiful to look at and the open-world is organized in chunks with small things to chew on in each. Yes, it gets repetitive but that's why I say it was a good time waster.

second son has one of my favorite to this very day dumb ps4 things which is turning your controller sideways and shaking it like a can of spray paint. the rattle noise coming out of the controller speaker is perfect

edit: also holding a ps4 controller like a can of spray paint the trigger is in exactly the right place, its really dumb and satisfying how that worked out

Yeah, it’s pretty much the only time I’ve really noticed the speaker or used the motion controls. It’s just so perfect.

This is stupid, especially when the competition literally made a console that has exclusive games the regular version can't play (a version of which they only released less than a year prior with a massive marketing campaign) but it's not an actual new generation of console, it's a weird stopgap that has a few extra bells and whistles but still mostly relies on the base generation's library to hold it up.

The PS4 was semi-outdated tech when it came out. It's still pretty solid, but considering Sony had a very long view with their strategy and wanted to put out VR for this generation (and had that plan since about a year into this generation's lifecycle, since that's when they started funding PSVR projects) and started working on the Pro at basically the same time they decided to go VR. This was because they knew the base PS4's tech just wasn't up to snuff to deliver reasonable quality VR graphics that could compete with the overall visual quality of this generation. It's very obvious that the Pro was their preferred platform to use the PSVR with, the fact that it also could upscale to 4K was just a bonus marketing thing since it released ahead of the VR to generate enough of an install base with the improved model so that when the PSVR came out, those that tried it out on the Pro would be utterly amazed and the platform would do well.

We'll see when the Holiday sales numbers are published in a few weeks, but I would honestly not be surprised if the PSVR alone outsold the X-Box One X, and that's not any Sony fanboyism on my part... Sony had over double the install base of MS, and Skyrim along with the insane PSVR deals made it sell like loving hotcakes... most stores I popped into were sold out on it and the Move controllers in the NYC area.


The fact that Sony didn't pull a complete "gently caress you, basic scrubs" and totally stop supporting the base PS4 model is admirable, since the One X literally has games you can't play on the basic model, just like the New 3DS has games that won't work on a regular 3DS. There won't be another major hardware revision, most likely, until 2020 at the earliest (to follow the 7 year timeline), and considering the ridiculously rapid pace of VR development and current gen PC gaming quality, to expect your 4+ year old system that is actually closer to 6+ years old in terms of system specs to continue to be relevant isn't a fault of Sony, it's a fault of your expectations.

Yeah, I've been playing Second Son when I'm too tired to play challenging games, and it's decent. It's got a lot of heart and a lot of very obvious "we had a big vision and had to scale it back" type things.

The visuals are really strong. The gameplay is all over the place in terms of quality, but overall, they put together a pretty slick package.

I'm pretty excited for Ghost of Tsushima.
