I'm loving Enter The Gungeon..... Class game.

Put in a lot of hours of it on the PC, great game.

My husbands birthday is coming up soon and he has hinted that he would love the PS4. I've just read that a new version of it is being released later in the year. Would it be worth waiting for or would the differences in the units be negligible? Are there any good deals on it at the moment? Thanks!

Do you have a 4k ultra hd tv, if not stick with the ps4. I'm sure the price difference will be probably be the biggest difference.

Id say the opposite,if you can wait till ths new one is released id buy that one. Its not only about 4k,hopefully games will run at better framrates too and 1080p. The 4k part is only upscaling really.

Probably the biggest thing is how much a gamer he is. if he's dipping his toe in to something he's not very familiar with, the current one is perfectly acceptable.

If he's a gaming nut, you might be better holding out but we don't even have a release date so it's definitely not going to show up before his birthday if that's within in the next 4-6 weeks?

No, we don't have the 4k TV and will probably not buy in the near future. He has an Xbox 360 but hasn't played that in a while. His birthday is in the next 4-6 weeks so I would like to have it to give to him on the day. I was hoping to surprise him but I think I may have to ask him now if he'd be willing to wait until it's released. Thanks everyone.

Id just get the current version and surprise him.

WarZoneBrother

Thank you to everyone that suggested Overwatch.. What a game...

MilesMorales1

I got that controller replaced in cex which is nice. Not annoying to play no more.

In most cases I would tend to agree, I think I would hold out for the Neo though at this stage, considering its only out in October, at least the consoles life would be extended that wee bit and the resale value would be far bigger...

From what we know regarding specs, it's gonna be mainly upscaled 4K titles, and come in at same price as current PS4, for the sake of a couple of weeks more I would hold out, all the 1080p stuff will have way better framerates and the like, not just the 4K part...

@Gatsbygirl - could another option maybe to buy and pay off the Neo bit by bit in GameStop and then on his birthday hand him a receipt with a payed for "new" PS4 Neo...

(or whatever they call it!)

If it was me personally I'd rather that, but I'm not him so I dunno... :P

Another way to think of it - if you buy him the old one, 3 weeks later after getting it, he calls to one of his mates, play's the Neo and wonder's why his Fifa/whatever game doesn't look as slick as the one in his buddy's house...

Just food for thought...

Seeing this SOOOO often since the last update.
Response from the Division people seems to amount to "not our problem", but it was fine for me before the last update. Pfft.
I know the servers are down at this current minute in time... but this is pretty damn regular for a good while now.

Dunno if its the same thing but I'm constantly getting disconnected when playing Street Fighter 5 which is a massive pain as you need to be connected for pretty much everything.

I dunno wtf is going on in Journey but just

met another one of my kind and we just flew around making music

Ep1 of Life is Strange completed and had to buy the season pass straight away, highly recommend giving ep1 a go as it's free.

Bought Firewatch but haven't tried it yet but really glad I sprung the the extra 80 cent to get the Theme with it. Best PSN theme I've seen so far.

I regret buying Dex. 20 quid and I'm completely bored with it. Will have to force myself to finish it but will sit on the backburner for a while.

I think there is some sort of multiplayer in Journey where you can meet other players in the game

Pretty much a core concept in the game

It's pretty mind blowing when you cop it though

Captain Chaos

It's completely random who you meet and when. It's only ever one player at a time. I encountered 3 other players in my first playthrough. When you finish the game the players PSN IDs who you met will show up in the credits for that particular playthrough session.

Sometimes you will meets no one, depends how many players are online when you are.

Retr0gamer

I met the one person and went through the whole game with them. Never want back to the game again and don't feel the need to. The first time was a perfect experience.

Journey really surprised me. Thought it would be a load of overhyped crap like the last game from the same dev 'Flower'. I found that game pretty bad with awful motion controls I was fighting the whole time. Really did not get the hype. For a game described as relaxing I spent the entire time fighting with the controls.

Journey though is the real deal.

That level where you are going through the snow storm is fantastic.

Climbing the hill to your death ?

Stunning game. You really don't get it until you start reaching the end and then it all clicks together. A wow moment for me.

Playing Black Ops 3 for a while now - all good.

Just finished playing Far Cry 4 and thoroughly enjoyed it. At one point I was trying to remove an eagle from my face, while dodging a Honey Badger & fighting off four Tibetan Wolves and just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sneaky tiger pounces followed by a bear attack. I barely made it out alive, but great fun altogether. It's the first Far Cry I've played and I'll be looking forward to their next release.

Always surprised me that these games weren't a little more popular - proper good fun IMO!

4 is essentially just 3 in a new setting so you could always go back and play that. Im sure it must be pretty cheap at this stage - that said, it is less polished than 4 so you may not enjoy as much playing it in reverse order.

And, as another poster already said, their newest one was out earlier this year - Far Cry Primal. Same mechanics, new setting - stone age.

If you think tigers, bears and honey badgers are intense, wait for the f*cking mammoths.

I think number 2 was the best especially multiplayer wise

Thanks Batesy & BullBlackNova for the Primal tip, I will check it out . But first I'm about to play Uncharted 4, which is another franchise I haven't played before. So I've no idea what to expect.

I'm half way through Uncharted 4 at the minute. Stunning game!

Id play the Uncharted Collection before 4 if you have not played the other 3...

Yeah def worth doing.

I had only played the first game before, got the collection about a month ago and just finished up 3 / started 4 yesterday, have been loving it!

mickstupp

Before 4, I'd only played 3, and had a brilliant time with it. Fun start to finish. I found 4 really slow moving and kinda boring. So now I'm looking at reviews and people round the internet raving about the game and thinking I'm totally missing something. Baffling.
