PS4 Megathread 2.0

Super Sidious

Gamestop charging €69.99 for Lego The Hobbit on PS4...

€43euro with Amazon

€40 with VGP

€59.99 on PSN (For once they are cheaper than bricks and mortar)

Happily wait for it to be second hand in a few months.

Would DRM have been that bad if it had got rid of Gamestop? I mean GS don't comprimise as there is little or no competition, and as there is no competition we don't need to worry about a monopoly anywhere else. It would've brought down the RRP of games(Possibly).

Anyway shop around, very rarely get anything from GS unless they are cheaper than littearly everyone else, which is rarely.

If i were to buy bf4 premium from American psn account, would it work with an eu ps4 and eu bf4 game. Also if I were to buy ps plus off the American account would it work with an eu ps4?

Just want to know because you save €28 if you buy from the US store.

I will never step foot in there for games. They are unbelievable piss takers.

No, game, DLC and premium must be from the same region.

Yes.

Game should be fine, DLC though has to be bought with a US account I thought?

I had a US BF4 on disc, worked fine.... the dlc however did not...

He has the EU game and that works fine.
He was looking to pair US premium with it - that won't work.

Where would you get the US bf4 game anyway without having to pay import taxes and delivery costs. Amazon UK have bf4 for £42 best price around I think and free delivery.

But does it run the same as the disc. I heard that digital games don't run as good as discs.

There is no difference. On the PS4 disc games install to the HDD anyway and the disc is just used in the first few minutes as security verification.

I have the digital versions of BF4, inFamous SS and MGS GZ and they all run just fine. No slow downs or dropped frame rates.

The lazy part of me prefers digital as i dont have to get off my fat arse to change games but awwhh i wish they would lower their price

Thats crazy talk. Steam games all run off the HDD without issue.. Maybe your thinking of GTAV, and how rockstar optimized it to use both the disc and hdd together to stream the assets, but that was used due to how ****ty last gen hardware had become.

The latest example of that is TitanFall on the 360. A digital version won't work well on it, it has to stream it off the disc on cache and buffer it on the HDD as it goes. The Xbox One does not have that issue.

Last gen console issues thankfully.

Really wish I could swap roll and yaw in War Thunder, getting tired of instructor mode ****ing me over at every opportunity but the simulator mode controls as a pain.

Simulator controls are easy you might need to change the x or y axis so that push the stick down your plane climbs, it's more annoying all the laggy planes in the sky.

I do like dead nation, but its so frustrating :mad:

All flight games should have the roll controls on the same stick that controls pitch, just like real aircraft. Having pitch and yaw together makes no sense at all . Yaw should be on the triggers and throttle on the bumpers but you don't have to hold the bumpers down, just tap and release to the desired power settings. Right stick should be for looking around only.

It's the only way imo and the only console game I have played with that profile is Over G Fighters on the 360.

Does anyone elses ps4 make a buzzing near the power input socket when left powered off and not in stand by but plugged in.

No that usually means there's something loose that shouldn't be. Hums only existed when computers used vacuum tubes and it wasn't that good then.

Cables lose. Or interference

Muirshin Durkin

Chael The Spider Sonnen

has anyone tried downloading from the US PSN store. I have an american dummy account set up for watching the WWE Network and use an American VPN so I was going to try ordering of the US store since the games are only 60 dollars.

Has anyone tried doing this?

CombatCow

Yeah a few of us do it, you can buy credit from amazon.com and apply it to your US account and download the games and play them on your EU account. They work out at €43

They basically started the game from scratch again and the games director Col Rodgers left in February.

Ah now.. There is no way they have started the game from scratch and the director left for personal (and quite sad) reasons.

It'll come out this year.. probably Q3.

Yeah starting from scratch was probably not the best phrase, but they have gone back to the drawing board with it according to Scott Rohde.

A new local co-op update is coming to Resogun, developer Housemarque has hinted. Speaking on Twitter, the Finnish developer posted an image showing two Resogun players playing alongside each other, along with the words, “First of many things to come.” You can see the image below.

Mousemarque has previously outlined its dedication to post-release support for the brilliant PlayStation 4 shooter. Earlier this month the developer said that it is planning a “substantial” update. This local co-op tease is the first indication we’ve had as to the update’s contents. By the sounds of it, we should be expecting more too.

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/news/news-12921-Resogun-Local-Co-Op-Update-Teased-by-Housemarque.html

I still reckon that Res0gun is probably the best game on the PS4 so far and if going by Housemarques tweet earlier this month stating that "imagine it so much better that you almost forget how good the original was" it is only gonna get better with the new update and local co-op will be great fun.

Child of light is out next week,looking forward to it.

More Resogun is welcome. Can't wait to hear what they have added.

It has been getting pretty solid reviews as well.

I wanted to finish Fez before getting Octodad, but I'm finding myself consistently lost in Fez.
