Isn't the light bar something to do with VR so is essentially useless for the meantime?

Yes, but also is used for playroom games and the PS4 camera to detect controllers amongst other things.

Lads and lasses, where's the cheapest shop/website to get a ps4 bundled with a game? I'm getting one for my birthday next month (can't open it until this feckin leaving cert is out of the way though..)

I would contact Sony to be honest. Personally, I wouldn't have the console vertical without the official stand because there are vents on both sides of the console which the official stand compensates for, or at least I believe it does.

Blocking the vents of course would cause the consoles fans to work harder, although that does not appear to be the issue here.

The vents on both sides I did not know. I guess I will contact sony. Doh. Hope I don't lose my console for a couple of weeks

Hmm Destiny looks VERY interesting

I think that and the new Batman seem to be the pick of the bunch for me in terms of titles im looking forward to

Anyone here affected by the game save upload bug?

I am. Not a very big deal but a bit annoying to have to manually upload the saves.

Amplitude managed to reach its Kickstarter goal and should be out on the PS3/4 early next year, the original for the PS2 was very addictive.

Yep, pain in the sac. But sure what's new with new things breaking nowadays.

Sony are gonna be having a sneak peak of The Order 1886 on their official Twitch channel later today.

Today, at 8.00pm GMT/9:00pm BST/10.00pm CET, tune in for a sneak peek at new gameplay from an upcoming PS4 title. Blink and you’ll miss it. Don’t be late!

Hard to judge due to the atrocious framerate, but it doesn't look overly impressive. Not much innovation or anything really to set it apart from other TPS except the alternate history time period

Very hard to agree with you based on that video, very hard to disagree with you based on that video. I'm none the wiser :pac:

johnny_ultimate

There's going to be so much fun when people realise this game is 30FPS and presented in 2.4:1 (and hence a wacky resolution) aspect ratio on purpose

TobesYid

Looks like a lot of spit & polish required before release, I've high hopes for this one though.

_Redzer_

Heard it's done in 30fps on purpose too to mimic film as much as possible too.

I think that's a handy excuse to max up the graphics for them tbh

Grayditch

Someone wake me up when quick time events are dead, though.

Hi
I am thinking of buying a ps4 in a week or two.
I have compared ebay and amazon and the cheapest price is about 400euro any of you know any where cheaper.
Or should i buy it in a few months?
I have an Xbox 360 would it be worth trading in?
I am also online on the Xbox what is you're reviews of past experiences
Any thoughts/advice negative/positive will be gladly accepted.
Thanks:D
PS i wouldn't mind changing to Xbox 1 if it is worth it

Regarding the game-play footage of the Order,from last night...The frame rate looking issues were down to the poor quality stream(apparently )...
Here's some info from DualSHOCKERS in relation to the stream and some Tweets from Andrea Pessino Founder/CTO @ Ready At Dawn Studios.

The Order: 1886 is one of the most anticipated upcoming PS4 titles, and today Sony Computer Entertainment and Ready at Dawn livestreamed a bit of gameplay to give us all a pre-E3 thrill.

As expected, the video is stunning, and you can check it out below for your serving of epic sideburns and mustaches. In addition to those we also get a good look at Lady Igraine in action, and the first glimpse on the electricity-blasting arc gun.

The quality of the recording (courtesy of the good folks at GameHQMedia) isn’t unfortunately the best, but for a livestream, that’s much better than nothing. Ready at Dawn CTO Andrea Pessino himself said on Twitter:

Thanks everyone! Oh, and the frame rate is actually VERY nice, do not blame us for streaming issues please… : )

There is no tearing when you play the game and if any ever shows up we will squash it. ; )

It definitely looked good enough that I’ll ignore the recording quality and just go look for my dropped jaw.

Really hoping to see some uncompressed footage of this around E3 time;)

I think that was a given really.

So far I think Sony have done a poor job showing off The Order. I don't know if it demos poorly or if it is just poor but they really need to show it off a lot better.

At the moment it just looks like Sony's Ryse.

For what its worth, i have a 360 for past three years, was always playstation before that. Anyway i bought a ps4 last week and as soon as i hooked it up loved it and knew id made the right choice. I havent had any bad experience with online services since i bought it! I dont think you will regret getting a ps4 to be honest

For me the things that make it
> PS Vita - remote play, just great playing some of the indie's from the comfort of your bed late at night.
> PS+ - just getting those indie's as well as games for the vita and PS3 "free" well for a 50Euro sub each year - suggest you get PS+ and each month even though you don't have a PS3 or Vita "buy" and checkout the games from the store - you never know...

Only downsides
> Delays to some of the launch titles, a bit of a bummer but hope to see them soon with bugs all ironed out.
> DS4 thumbstick wear - haven't seen it myself, but some friends have - but they are heavy FIFA players. Again though the stores seem to be exchanging them or you can get the covers from Amazon. This one doesn't apply to me yet so not bothered.

Anybody else not being able log into war thunder, keep on getting you have no internet which that is fine and can log in with American account.

Anyone wanna dead nation co-op?

jimmytwotimes 2013

is €74:99 really what gamestop are expecting for Watch Dogs standard edition? i pre-ordered the game last august when it was expected as a launch title. i've no idea if i paid the €64:99 they were looking for back then, can't find it on a estatment.

anyone have any idea what the story would be with that pre-order now? i wouldn't be willing to pay the new price, if it is that steep.

cloud493

Do you have any sort of receipt?

All I have is a partially shipped record on my account. I ordered it with FIFA 14.

hallo dare

I remembered when i preordered BF4 with Gamestop it was cheaper than the final release day price (paid in full). They wanted me to fork up the extra on release day.

Needless to say i threw a wobbler in the shop and after alot of ranting i got my money back and told them to stick it.

Thought the PS4 had died Saturday morning. Turned on ok but then froze and I couldn't turn it off. Unplugged it and then it wouldn't restart. :eek:Unplugged everything and it then fired up. Worked fine then the next couple of days but was seriously worried.

Just curious, but do you have it standing on edge or have you it lying flat?

gimli2112

Lying flat.
Why is that bad?

No no , just curious to see, cos if there was a pettern starting to develope we would all be in the same boat. Mine is flat also with plenty of breathing room all round.

cloud493

I found my PS4 to be much louder when standing up.

And I doubt watchdogs will be €75 in gamestop tomorrow personally. But thats why we should stop paying those prices

Using videogameplus and a dose of patience is the best medicine against GameStops anti consumer price rigging gaming cartel!

jimmytwotimes 2013

Got confirmation that Watch Dogs was sent to courier by gamestop, €64:99. Bit more expensive than I would have hoped. Then again I pre-ordered it last august, so its a bit later than I would have hoped as well!!

MarkY91

Yeah, my mistake, 59 for ps3 version. Trade-in on two games good value tho

cloud493

Didn't think gamestop would stick with the €75 price tag. Know where I'm not buying it.

Klair88

Feel dirty paying €75 in Gamestop for Watch Dogs after reading the last page but I can't wait for VGP or amazon. Plus I used a €40 voucher.

But yeah, those prices are terrible. I'll go with amazon from now on!

Justask

Anyone know if there is a midnight launch in Gamestop?
Can't find info anywhere?
'Watchdogs'
No info on their twitter or Facebook

cloud493

I got an email off them about a midnight launch, didn't say which stores though.

Mr Blobby

Gamestop only do midnight launches if they have over 100 pre-orders.
But if you've pre-ordered they'll usually send you a text/email if there's a midnight launch
