Does anyone know is there any way of getting some sort of alert or notification whenever a certain digital game goes down in price? Or even on sale?
Or is it a case of just keeping an eye on it?

You can set up alerts and you will receive an email when the price drops for any game that you are monitoring.

Perfect, cheers.

Anyone notice this, not sure if it's part of the 4.0 beta or not, shows the base download as well as the additional download in the same download tile.

At launch it had the rest hidden and that'd download in the background, then they had it show up after the initial and I think recently it would download both at once but I'm not sure.

Anyone trying out the titanfall 2 test?

Yeah it's a bit of fun, think it's similar to cod in that the servers favour certain regions pings more as some people are frustrating to kill.

The original Titanfall on the One had servers in Dublin so there was very little if any lag.

I'm not sure if they have dedicated servers for Titanfall 2 though. I played the Beta and it definitely doesn't play as well as the original.

They have dedicated servers but don't exclusively use Azure anymore. They use various server providers including Azure, Google & Amazon servers.

Google and Amazon have servers in Dublin don't they? Shouldnt be much lag in the final game I think.

yes but that assumes the developers of Titanfall have chosen to have their servers in the Irish region of those providers.

Not sure if the games are hosted on them or not but you can pick a server location on the main menu, London listed as well as a few other european locations all showing the ping for each.

London is closest to us, must be Amazon's servers possibly?

NBA 2K17 is releasing a free demo/Career Mode Starter on the 9th Sept (a week before the main game releases) called The Prelude. It will be a 10gb download from psn store that will allow you to create a player (can also use the companion app out the same day to take a selfie and upload to your character) and start a career in college. Winning games and playing good increases your draft stock. When the main game releases, you can import your charachter and go straight to NBA draft.

Also The Prelude will include a brand new tutorial mode to help new players as that was a big complaint when NBA 2K16 went free on PS Plus.

Will be well worth a download.

That phonecall at the end of the video confirms some sort of international tournament as well I'd imagine.

Yupp 2 National teams already confirmed, the current Team USA and the '92 classic Team USA. Looks like you get a shot at playing with them if you finish the Prelude, just not sure if it's a bonus to play against other college teams to mess around or if they'll have other national teams as well.

Also 'the president of basketball' sounds like they are taking the piss out of last years ridiculous nickname Frequency Vibrations....hopefully anyway.

Does anybody else's San Andreas make a clicking noise when you're in the map?

€150 for Logitech G29 new?

Any opinions.

Yes, probably the best wheel for PS4. Especially for that money. Had my eye on the G29 on Amazon and also the Thrustmaster T150.

My own questions, Where? and can you get one for me too?

Just got Assetto Corsa, and a pad is not the way to go.

I used to hate car games until I played with a wheel.

Amazon uk, they were price matching Currys/PC world. € price in currys here doesn't match up, deal is over in anycase.

Completely forgot Prominence Poker released for free on PSN last week. Have it a go last night and it's actually done really good. Better than retail poker games I've bought in the past.

Any local multiplayer (Splitscreen) recommendations?

Not exactly splitscreen but I put on Towerfall: Ascension for me and a few mates recently and it was brilliant fun.

Yeah rocket league does splitscreen alright.

In fact I actually wrote a little article about fun splitscreen / couch multiplayer games for the ps4 a few months ago, the main games I listed were as follows;

Blaze Rush
Battle Trivia Knockout
Divekick
Trials Fusion
Sportsfriends
Rocket League
TowerFall Ascension
Jackbox Party Bundle

Overcooked and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime two more great couch coop games

Captain Chaos

Helldivers is good fun too, especially 4 player.

Overcooked can be played 4 player with just 2 controllers if you want or are stuck, had some laugh playing that.

Just bought nfs last night and can't play it at all because EA servers are down. Tried FIFA and it can't connect, too, but at least the game can be played.

Not happy
