I'm probably gonna get the platinums so I'll let y'alls know how it is

Cheers man, will keep it in mind.

The Pro is the new one with doubled power right? I'm mainly looking at the back catalogue, longer loading times don't bother me, and I don't even own a 4K TV. Most likely I'll get one used/refurb Slim there's some advantage to buying new.

Edit: If I wanted to play on a PC monitor is it true I can just plug a headset into the PS4 controller and have sound come via that right? How's the sound quality that way?

The sound is over Bluetooth via the remote so keep that in mind. That said if you have some heavy duty headphones you might need an amp

It's prime time for them to completely gently caress up the FF7 remake.

Curious when we might actually see it. The small video they did release looked good. Hope E3 has some info. I'm hoping next Xmas at best lol. Also aren't they splitting the game up? I guess I'm ok with that if i means we get it sooner

Does anyone have recommendations for couch co-op games? Preferably ones that either aren't also on Steam or at least have more stuff or play better on the PS4.

Borderlands Handsome collection
Resogun
Lara Croft and the temple of Osiris
Child of Light is co-op ish

I'm a new PS4 owner. What driving game should I get? Is there a good rally game?

You're in luck because "Dirt" is exactly what you're looking for

That said it is more of an unforgiving racing sim than anything else. I'm a bit peeved they removed the rewind function

Pierson posted:

Mind explaining what you mean by an amp? I have some decent in-ear earphones and a more heavy-duty pair of headphones for PC gaming, am I gonna need something else?

I'm not audiophile and someone can probably explain better. But ultimately some headphones require x amount of power to produce their intended sound. Things like the ps4 controller might only output x amount of power so you'd need an amp that uses supplemental power, this would negate the controller plugin and just have an optical out from ps4 > amp > headphone jack out.

That said you should be fine. Running your controller wired to the ps4 would probably give you better sound

Are there any good arcadey racing games ala burnout for the system? I have drive club which I like, but it's this weird mix of sim and arcade that I wish leaned a little more towards the latter.

I don't think this is true at all. The output is Bluetooth from the PS4 so plugging it in to the USB ports doesn't make a difference.


The new DS4s actually transmit data via USB when plugged in. Plus aftermarket wired controllers

Was gonna say, I hear DIRT is good. Also will be getting a VR mode... I do hear it's a little on the hard side. I need to read up more on it because I keep wnating to get it but then I think "DO I need more frustration in my life?" (I have no wheel... so it would be controller.)

It's definitely playable on a controller but it's extremely frustrating and unforgiving so FYI. You'll total cars constantly when you first stset. All the other Dirt rally games have that instant rewind button that you can hit in a race but for whatever reason this one doesn't have that. It's annoying being towards the end of a race and totalling my car or loving up a 100mph turn

It has been on sale a handful of times so you can wait out for that. VR mode is apparently $10 DLC

Quantum of Phallus posted:

Forgot about that. Good point. I wonder if they handle Audio over USB.

I can't say with surety but I read some reviews that audio was a lot better via the wired Nacon pro controller. Curious if the DS4 transmits it via USB or Bluetooth as well

Platinum headset is $152 on amazon atm with same-day shipping for prime members

I decided to wait and save $20 and got one one ebay for $131. :siren: apparently you can load profiles wirelessly. Curious if the USB dongle fits in the front of the pro

Still bummed my LS40 headset just doesn't have good sound. I'm no audiophile but it really is lacking. Shame because they're a great independent company I'd love to support. Anyways I'll compare the platinums to that before I return them and post my unsolicited impressions

The quickest way to encourage anime discussion and anime spam and anime poo poo posting is to complain about anime. You might as well fly the bag signal in the anime threads throughout SA

That said Crash is a poo poo game and I don't get why people want a remake so bad. Like, yeah I liked it when I was a preteen and there wasn't any other games like it or better than it. But it's like nostalgia for poo poo NES games people gave. We liked them at the time for obvious reasons--there wasn't any other options

Haven't seen this yet. Is it going to be more like dirt rally or dirt 3? Because dirt rally is amazing, dirt 3 is a stinker

Dirt thread has more info but here's a good copy/paste from there

njsykora posted:

First Dirt 4 blog, still calling it the road book which pleases me. More rallycross stuff, there'll be 2 more tracks as well as the RX2 class from FIA WRX and some Group B rallycross which apparently was a thing? Landrush aka the best thing in Dirt 2+3 is back which is truck and buggy racing on big jump tracks, and gymkhana Joyride, which will be skills challenges in the rally school which they're describing as 'donuts without the dudebro'.

PvP rally events will be doable online, so you'll be able to do real world style staggered starts down the stage, and will overtake slow cars and see cars that have wrecked. There will be 2 handling models, casual and simulation, one being more controller friendly Dirt 3 style and the other being straight up lifted from Dirt Rally with some refinements to aerodynamics, suspension, tires and damage so it seems they're leaning more in the sim direction rather than retreating from it. Like I said earlier the reputation DR got for being hard did them a lot of good.

Career mode will be a full Race Driver Grid style team management, hiring PR, engineers, sponsors etc which as a RD Grid fan is drat great news. There'll be an online career mode of sorts with rankings and ladders. Daily/Weekly/Monthly challenges will come back, but this time they'll all be using procedural stages, so people won't get to practice a stage for ages before doing the challenge. Leagues will be returning and you'll be able to generate stages for league use, plus there won't be any splitting of leaderboards and leagues between consoles this time, so we can have the Xbox and PS4 players in this thread in the same league as the PC crew. You can also do stage generation on the website so you can make sure stages are the kind of thing you want for a league before confirming anything.

Overall it seems like they're not quite making a sequel to Dirt 3, but a sequel to Dirt Rally with Landrush added in. Rally and Rallycross certainly seem to be overwhelmingly the focus, and I'm happy they're willing to drop Hillclimb rather than just have Pikes Peak as the only track again.
