So when's the embargo lift, is it midnight or some other time?

Just over three hours.

 

[Beerman462]

Why don't you play Nioh? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I'm praying for a PC release. Fingers crossed.

why even buy a ps4 to begin with?

I bought it for Bloodborne. While I liked it, I don't believe it was worth the purchase. I wish I would have waited for a price drop and played the games I wanted later.

TLOU 2 day one

12AM PST/3AM EST

~3 hours.

[Chuck Norris]

I'm praying for a PC release. Fingers crossed.

With Sony's involvement in publishing it you may be waiting a long time

 

[ironcreed]

Oh well, I'll see the reviews in the morning with my coffee. I was thinking Eastern time. I am not staying up until 3 am.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Yep, got class and work tomorrow. I can't function off little sleep.

 

[MarkRenton]

Reviews in 40 min?

 

[Loudninja]

Add 2 hours to that.

 

[schaft0620]

Are we getting a review thread soon?

 

[TheRealTalker]

I'm praying for a PC release. Fingers crossed.

BUT YOU already HAVE A PS4 (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

To stay up and read the thread as it goes or to go to sleep and wake up with a bunch of goodness to read through 🤔

 

[ZettaiSeigi]

Maybe the latter's better. You get the goodness (probably plenty of them by the time you get up) on top of the possible meltdown. Enjoy your breakfast! LOL

 

[RoKKeR]

So are the pre-review indications good? Have to imagine this will get glowing reviews.

 

[VanWinkle]

Bro, does ANYTHING go off of Central time? lol

This is why West coast is best coast.

Ha yeah that's what I decided on. Much to my surprise I found out I have tomorrow off a few hours ago, so gonna sleep in, make myself a nice breakfast, and read that review thread

 

[Maxinas]

Bro, does ANYTHING go off of Central time? lol

Only the coasts matter, so everything is based off PST or EST.

 

[Aizen.S.Kennedy]

Ima try to have some fun in the review thread tonight before everyone wakes up an it gets crazy.,

 

[VanWinkle]

Very good

 

[N.Domixis]

Do I stay awake or sleep. I got work at 7 and an hour drive so I have to wake up a 5:30. And it's about to be 1:00. Maybe I'll wake up at 4 and see how it's done and sleep for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

 

[MarkRenton]

No way this is shite

Absolutely. It's a great system and its library continues to improve.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

There is a reason actually, I need a new TV.. but my budget is about 1200 bucks,(CND) meaning that's barely enough for a Pro and about the 8 games I would want to buy for it.

I have a 48 Inch Samsung, that's like 8 years old, it's a great TV (for it's time) one of the best at the time of purchase, but it is quite old.

I really want these new Samsung 8000K people talk about, but don't have the $2,900 CND to buy it.

Do you have any apprehensions about getting the slim version instead?

Sure, seems like the best time to pick one up, it has a very solid library of exclusive games and has a lot coming up too. Also, the Slim is pretty cheap if you don't want a Pro.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

I've waited this long to buy a PS4, it will be a total shame if I don't buy the best one available, I just wish I had a budget for a good TV, I bought a Samsung 4K 6290 model during Christmas, I was quite disappointed by the picture quality, and decided to return it.

Seems like the only good, and future proof 4K TVs are the 8000K or better, meaning $3000 or more. especially for gaming.

Well then maybe you can get some good deals during the year end holiday season. The Pro would probably have discounts by then as well.

 

[vivekTO]

Just in time to see the reviews , lets go!!

Might be best to wait then, the Pro is pretty much still full price and probably won't see any major push until the Scorpio is closer to release. Or you could jump on the Pro now and sit on getting a new TV until later in the year maybe.

 

[Elfstruck]

Just in time to see the reviews , lets go!!

Still like 1hr50 min to go.

 

[OléGunner]

Well for some reason I though reviews were dropping Tuesday morning.
Will navigate that potentially messy thread with my morning coffee at work lol.

I've not seen one impression since previews last month, really hope Horizon knocks it out the park.

I mean .... yeah , just some more time.

A taste of things to come
http://www.gameblog.fr/tests/2690-horizon-zero-dawn-ps4
9/10
Courtesy of Google Translate

A new start to dazzling ambition and overflowing generosity, a "post-post-apocalyptic" open-world, a fierce heroine, all combined for a dizzying masterpiece.

The most beautiful open-world of this generation...

It was a bit of a thrill to realize that after more than 20 hours of playing, I continued to discover unexplored places or find new types of objects ... Yes, to the end, I never ceased to be Amazed by the artistic richness, the grandeur of the places, the majesty of the panoramas to the point of being able to take pleasure in simply to traverse it.

What a technological and artistic demonstration, so close to the level of a Naughty Dog title but in total open-world without any loading time once launched in the adventure. Several times I was crushed by the visual and playful generosity of the game. Many times I wondered what superhuman efforts the teams of Guerrilla had to deploy to give birth to such a work so rich, so dense, so beautiful and so refined . Much more profoundly than with the Killzone saga, Guerrilla hoists his name among the very great.

We love
A masterful artistic direction.
A mysterious and captivating story.
Aloy, elegant, strong and human.
A sense of magic travel.
Realization and level design breathtaking.
Constant discoveries.
Superb on PS4, lavish on PS4 Pro

Why can't you just buy ps4 games? I'm confused.

How does this affect your life? Did you make a bet?

 

[Unknown?]

How does this affect your life? Did you make a bet?

Well, you see, he is a gamer... Therefore he wants games to be as good as they can be.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

How does this affect your life? Did you make a bet?

I want to see GG succeed and by having a critically and commercially successful game, I'm sure we'll see more output from them. The premise of the game has also interested me from day one, so I've been looking forward to a good ARPG.

Or should I be wanting devs and their games to fail? Would that be better?

What kind of freaking question is this?

 

[GHG]

How does this affect your life? Did you make a bet?

How does it affect your life if it does affect him in some way?

That's the real question here.
