It's really funny watching Youtube videos for the free PS4 PS+ games and reading the comments. If Sony hosed up PS+ in one way it was setting the bar so high on PS3, because it seems like every idiot feels like he's being robbed because the free games for the month weren't Watch Dogs and The Last of Us or something similar. Like, 2 15 dollar games a month is not enough to justify and $50 yearly sub that you also need to play online.

Also, Youtube commenters REALLY hate 2D games.

Unfortunately gamers are literally the worst/most entitled people ever. Ps+ wasn't a thing on the ps3 for like the first 4 years of its life right? Then the first year of ps+ was indies like we're getting now. It was slow to get up to stuff like watch dogs or bioshock infinite. We're ahead of the curve relative to ps3.

If people are bitching this bad about our ps+ selections these days, how bad must it be on the xbox side?

Yeah the article mention it's gonna be close to 40 dollars in Japan. But they should release it for like 15 dollars here on ps3 and 20 dollars on ps4. That's just a better price point and that's what they did with re4. It came out for like 20 bucks I think.

Metro Redux released a ~6 min exposé on the changes for the Redux versions.

I'm stoked. Have 2033 on PC but couldn't run it well enough to enjoy at all. I wanted digital but if the disc has both and winds up being cheaper I guess I'll continue to add more stupid physical media.

Isn't the disc more expensive since tax? (unless you live in Europe) also I'm pretty sure the disc has both and the only difference is digitally you can buy them one at a time so that means you could buy 2033 by itself and whenever you finish it, last light might be on sale.

Yeah this poo poo really needs to stop. Even if they're pouring resources into the Bone version or getting an entirely different team on the 360 one, the game will still be limited, in some way, by hardware from 2005. It's 2014 and that is pathetic.

This is actually more worse than tr2 being timed exclusive.

I bet it was part of Microsofts terms too, look how many games are still going for 360/xbone (titan fall, forza horizon 2, etc etc.)

"There's no limit on the number of times you can use Share Play, meaning you can conceivably start Share Play up again and continue playing."

You were doing so well Sony. What the hell is the point?

That's probably the best way they can do this. They don't want people to abuse this by letting you then on your ps4 in the morning and letting a friend play all day.

My guess is, it just needs validation every hour. So you could still let your friend play as long as you connect it again once it drops.

The only people unhappy about this are likely were going to mooch off games off other people. buy your own drat games

This was the same argument before TLOU came out. If you want it at 60, buy it at 60. If you want it cheaper, wait for it to become cheaper. It is not complicated.

Hopefully we have more digital sales going this generation forward. People must realize that if they keep reducing the price slowly over time, they'll capture even more sales. It's not that people aren't interested if your game, period but rather not interested at that price point.

I think Tomb Raider is a neat game for 30 bucks or less. Full price (original or remastered) wouldn't do it for me. Thankfully just about everything seems to go on sale. Except infamous so far and it's been out for like 4 months? (digital sale that is)

I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms with this post but I didn't see anything in the OP that helped me much so

I'm getting a next gen system soon for Destiny (and other games, obviously, but Destiny was my starting point) and am wondering which system has the better exclusives lineup. I was more into the 360 last gen, but was leaning PS4 this time because it looks stronger from a hardware standpoint, but the only exclusive I really know about that interests me is for the XBone (Sunset Overdrive). Is there somewhere that lists and compares the exclusives? Is there anything else worth noting?

Bloodborne is all you need.

(also the ps4 has the better running version of destiny with the most exclusive content.l

RE: 2TB HD's

I consider it future-proofing; by this time next year, I'm gonna have a lot more on my PS4 than I do now.

Plus, the 2TB isn't a bad price at all AND I've got an extra 500Gb portable from the swap.

It also QUADRUPLES your space from the stock hard drive. It might be a while before we see 3TB in a size the PS4 can support, and that would only be a 50% increase in space over a 2TB. Though, at even 2TB, I should delete stuff I probably never will play again like BF4, when the newest one comes out, or Final Fantasy 14 when my subscription goes, and I won't touch it again.


I wouldn't be surprised if one day, the PS4 could support external drives. The Xbox One does, after all (but the internal drive cannot be replaced)

Yeah, I toggled the "connect to the Internet" option off and the console just tells me that the connection to the Internet is off. Oh well, they were still popping, so I suppose no harm done.

It's still really weird, for a console that was supposed to be able to fully function without Internet (barring the day 1 patch, of course).

The PS3 could hold its trophies offline.

The PS4 will still have trophies pop, but it appears to only save them so it can sync them whenever it can.

It is fully functioning, it's just that trophy data is not saved locally.

Minecraft is the best "zone-out on the couch" game that doesn't really require anything from you. It's just fun to build your perfect little fortress and explore.

I do wish they had incorporated some cool graphical tweaks and shaders that 3rd-party mods do to the PC version into the PS4/XBO version though. It's cool seeing realistic water, swaying leaves, or depth of field effects in Minecraft.

Well it is possible they could do this for ps4 minecraft. Sell mod packs that enhance graphical capabilities.

Or just sell a texture pack (they already do this) for ultra realistic world. Only on ps4.

Although it'd be wonderful to be able to return digital copies just like physical ones, for the time being I'm resigned to treating them as unrefundable unless stated otherwise, it seems like that's the idea for now.

Please explain how you can have this kind of environment without it being abused. Returns within 48 hours? People would buy a game on Friday, spend all weekend playing it and return it on Sunday.

We just need full game trials to come back but that's not likely.


Also, statistically, demos lose more sales than they gain,so it's in the publisher's interest to just hype you up for the game with careful marketing so you buy a brand new copy as close to day one as possible.

Nah, only a few issues, and not for everybody. Personally I never had any of those glitches, but I was also playing it on a non-stock hard drive; I would imagine they would be able to iron that stuff out, especially with Sony's pressure on studios to deliver games digitally.

The issue was also a result of low ram on the old consoles. With the amount in the ps4 this won't be an issue.

Yeah I think the thing about Destiny is that it seems to be a platform for many large content updates in the future. I already am invested in the expansion packs, but I think the game really does shine once you hit Venus.


It'd also be nice to get Destiny 2 that's current gen only, and they do something that really can only be done on PS4.


Frankly, you do have to admit, the only thing about Destiny right now being on PS4 is getting nice visuals. And it's probably the largest population right now and in the future.

This isn't even close to true. Higher levels have better 1hK abilities (Better supers, titan shoulder charge, etc) and purple gear with multiple modifiers that give them advantages over others. If two players go to melee each other and one of them has the "Faster melee speed" modifier on their gear they'll win. If two players run out of ammo at around the same time the one with the 'faster reload speed' modifier will win. There's purple gear with both of these on a single item. Epics give people radar while aiming down sights, drastically reduced recoil, and a slew of other edges over level 5-19 people.

Can low level players do well or even be the best in the game? Yeah. But the advantages still exist.

Yeah, keep in mind the level asvantage applies only to the armor defense rating and power level fo the guy. Bonus attributes still come in play.


I hope Destiny does some addons to expand multiplayer. Maybe make an Arena mode that gives everyone default equipment, and you have to pick from a roster of 20 weapons for a loadout.



Multiplayer can be fun, but it can also be frustrating to play when you're not max level because you know when you get killed with a higher level player, they had some advantages you don't even have access to yet. Bungie has time to try and adjust and balance this. But it's nowhere near the competitiveness of Halo, which I'm sure a lot of people loved.

Something like PixelJunk Shooter? It's a twin stick shooter (one stick moves the ship, one stick fires), but it's slow-paced and puzzle-based instead of a twitch-shooter. Pretty good for beginners to get used to using two sticks at once, I think.

This only works for maybe the first world or two. The game gets pretty hard especially with the bosses.

Anyway, 4's frame rate is better than any previous game, but it still has its problems. I have no idea if the problems will be on the PS4 too, but I am worried that the devs might consider frame rate drops part of the game's charm. It has enough charm without that.
