    Xbox man here so never played Infamous, is it fair to say it's a playstation answer to crackdown mixed with prototype :confused:

    Looks good but looks like I've played it even though I obviously haven't.

    Not trolling here honestly curious about it.

    No it's not at all. It's far more structures than those two games which are more open and sandbox. Infamous is more mission based like GTA with a world thats no where near as much fun to explore. I've found the series incredibly dull myself although it takes a very good open world game to interest me.

    I would describe inFamous as more of a mix between GTA and the early Neversoft Spiderman games. While I have always found the story and voice-acting good in the series, what sets it apart is the traversal mechanics. In the first two games, the character has electricity-based powers so he could 'grind' power lines and train tracks or slingshot along vertical pipes. In the new game, Delsin has multiple powers so the ways to move around are even more diverse.

    I got to play it last night at that livestreaming event Sony had going in London. It was impressive graphically but it was the traversal that pleased me most.

    I agree with you about the open ended nature, however I found the increased focus was a net positive for the series. I have never really finished a GTA game properly as the story is far too fractured that I lose interest before finishing the game. I enjoyed both infamous games (played the first through to completion twice which is rare for me).

    I came very close to buying a PS4 today.

    $493 AUD (€322) to arrive Paddys day from a stores online deal over here.

    Had a good look at all the games released and whether there's a game right now on PS4 that is really worth buying it for and not just playing on PS3. I can't find one.

    Deal ends tomorrow. Anyone want to convince me to buy this at that price?

    Good price.

    That said theres no games on it to justify the spend imo.

    Another year or so and it'll hopefully be a different proposition.

    But how many of those can I get that I can't on my PC or PS3? You mind just cutting it down to games which are either out now or coming next few months and are on PS4 but not PS3 or PC?

    I'm not much of a horror genre enthusiast but would play most other including indies.

    Fair enough

    Resogun
    Killzone: Shadow Fall *forgot that in the last list

    With these two coming out later.

    inFamous: Second Son
    The Order: 1886 *forgot that in the last list

    There are probably other games I am missing but that is all I can think of at the minute.

    Yeh I thought it would be a small amount. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

    I think it's kind of answered my question that I'll be capable of waiting until later in the year.

    Infamous and The order look good but I suppose I've still got plenty to get through on the PS3 and then overflow onto the PC if not on PS3.

    I guess I might just divulge that money into a new Lens for my camera or something and grab the PS4 closer to the end of the year. Maybe it'll be cheaper by then, if not so be it..

    Thanks :)

    In fairness Sony always drop a good few Indies that I did not even expected. Diablo 3 coming out some time soon too.
    Good few free to play games on PS4 too. If you dont have PC, then you can enjoy stuff like WarThunder, Warframe, Blacklight.

    If there is a good price for PS4, then I dont see why not too take it. No way PS4 will drop in to 300eu region anytime soon.

    Well the PS4 in Australia is the equivalent of €358 at current currency conversion rate. So it's already cheaper than buying in Ireland before the 10% discount I mentioned earlier and by the way it does have free delivery.

    I'm fairly certain I'll buy it and then leave it to one side in the not too distant future, or playing games I could have on my PS3.

    I think my Girlfriend will be pleased I'm not getting it yet either!

    Thats always the case tho, PC's get most of the decent multi-platforms these days so really... theres no need to get either of the big 2 consoles, especially at the start of a new generation. Unless you want one just for handiness or can't live without Killzone or Ryse (LOL).

    If you don't game on PC's, then i'd say the upgrade is worth it just for the better performance and graphical increase (Plus all the PC + PS4 only games) and the fact that you'll probably get one soon enough anyway (You'd probably only save a small amount of money if you wait a year).

    I'll be looking to get a PS4 in the next few months anyway, just for something to chill out with when I want to sit in the living room.

    You'll be hit for customs and the price will end up being the same as buying it here anyway.
