Sony have released a few teasers ahead of their gamescom appearance.

Looks like Until Dawn is going to be a big part of the show at least...

Yeah maybe using Project Morpheus

Xenji

Not sure about Until Dawn as it was being exclusively developed as a PS Move game, it also nearly got cancelled a few times as well.

TLOU Remastered, Wolfenstein, Res0gun, TowerFall Ascension, Rogue Legacy, Transistor, Trine 2 and if you are into sports NBA 2k14 and MLB The Show. Watch_Dogs is a fun game but gets a bit repetitive and boring after awhile, well it did for me anyway.

Thanks - had a loan of TLOU for ps3 and never finished it so that's a pick up for sure. Like the look of NBA 2k14 but baseball wouldn't be one that I watch - is the game very good? I'm counting down the days until the new Madden and will get that immediately.

Also, what's the best place to pick up games? Both new/second online/offline?

VGP and Amazon are the best to pick up games online, the brick and mortar stores will still rob you blind, MLB The Show is a great game, but you really need to know something about baseball to get the best out of it.

+1 on MLB. Best sports game I've played since Rugby 08. The RTTS mode is incredibly in-depth and so damn addictive!

I've done some research but would appreciate some input from others who have replaced the internal HDD. I've tried to stick with digital downloads mostly for the PS4 to make remote play more convenient but I'm quickly running out of storage.

Any recommendations for replacement HDD in 2TB capacity. Is an SSHD hybrid worth it?

An SSHD hybrid will make a difference to load times, not as much as a full-on SSD but better than a regular drive.

Personally, I prefer the extra storage you get for the same price. Have a look at this HDD.

Don't know about a 2TB SSHD but I imagine they are expensive. I have this and it's great. Double the capacity of the original and faster load times. My downloads also seem to be faster but that might be down to network speeds.
I just wish I could back up the drive as I have around 200GB of downloaded games and a power cut could lose the lot.

so tomb raider is xbox exclusive. My favorite game by far far far, I loved last tomb raider .. and got PS4.

Well I am not happy, I prefer to play games when they come out, brand new .. I guess I will not get tomb raider if we have to wait few months after xbox guys. I also think that game developer will get seriosly limited sales of it as we know xbone to ps4 is 1:3 .. I really don't think it is wise to mess up with playstation gamers at the moment considering install base of both consoles.

But in fairness it is probably first time that I am jelaous of xbox one, but still love PS4. I hope uncharted 4 will make up for loss of tomb raider.

A 2TB SSD would be unaffordable, and potentially unattainable unless your operating a business.

It's roughly €450-500 for a 1TB SSD, 2TB arn't available for general retail afaik.

I'm the same so disappointed with this! I'm hoping it will be timed like you said PS4 games are selling more than xbox one. Time will tell, just have to see what Sony put on the table later

Scratch that it's not a timed exclusive : http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-12-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-exclusive-to-xbox-one

CombatCow

I don't see them selling at least 6+ million copies to make their money back on this one being an X1 exclusive, but im sure MS paid them some big bucks upfront.

tomb raider on PS4 was the first time ive ever given tomb raider a chance and i simply loved it. its still my favourite game to ever play on ps4. im very dissapointed in this as i was anticipating news on the next tomb raider. ****ing microsft trying to buy themselves out of their pathetic console failure!

We can still preorder it on amazon for PS4. I bet that came from publisher that informed Amazon to take preorders. Seems like they agreed to that only recently. I also feel bad for people developing the game as they probably know that they dissapointed many fans. Politics :mad:

Spoke to many people here at Xbox press conference on Tomb Raider. Official line is that the game is "exclusive on Xbox for holiday 2015."

From the description of the Journey PS4 Youtube video

Escape to a dreamlike world. Explore vast deserts and primitive ruins to uncover the long-lost legends of a forgotten civilisation.

Get more for your money with Cross-Buy - purchase this game for PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 and get the other version at no extra cost.

Well that was some waste of time to watch Sonys gamescom. I understand some people like indie games, but to give 90% of time to indie games ... Microsoft did way better than sony this time.

Most of the games I wouldn't even play if they were free ..

In fairness most AAA game have been done to death like FIFA, COD and all the rest they will be all on the platform. You have bloodbourne, the new horror game drive club shown, Day Z and The order, Uncharted are also around the corner. Indie games have closed the gap on AAA games lately sometimes its hard to tell the difference. The most exciting thing the announced was shareplay that will be interseting

Game is released on Tuesday so you could get on release day or the next day. Last 2 games I preordered through Amazon arrived the day after release

Well I'd still rather they got my money than gamestop.

It can be done in under 20 minutes, it is just a glorified demo.

cloud493

Its an extended demo with a few bonus missions, no how much I like it it still annoys me we used that stuff for free :pac:

I'm packaging my PS4 up to return to amazon, and it said use original manufacturing packaging, but it doesn't feel very secure to me.

I reckon Sony were offered this deal as well, but will have Uncharted 4 coming out around the same time and turned it down.
