The why aren't PS1/2 Classics on PS Now? It would sweeten the pot for monthly subscribers, at the very least.
No, I still hope the emulated games are coming. I tend to agree with TapTap that it's a matter of Sony's software team moving at a glacial pace. I believe!!

I remember them saying that Ps2 games will come later. Right now they want to focus on Ps3 games.
Biggest problem with the PS4 being so successful is that they have absolutely no reason to rush any consumer friendly improvements out. They know they've won the generation and are trying to do it at the same time they're trying to cut costs.
Even the Vita, an absolute disaster, got a decent amount of much needed feature improvements at a steady pace.

From 1 to 10, how not interested are you?
I know what you mean man :'). Great remastered visuals, great gameplay fixes via the OoT3D features (gyro aiming, touch screen items, touch screen map, ect), the mask mechanic being fantastic (love the transformation ones) and the dark story is one of Zelda's best
. I love this game and it is right up their with some of my all time favorite games (with others alongside it being Jak 3, Ratchet 3, Sonic Generations, and so on). Glad you are loving the game Man God, it is just one of the 3DS's best games as of now
.I think their can be sales, such as a Golden Week one sometime next month or a flash PS1 sale down the line. But as of right now, I think the sales are limited to Indie PS+ discounts and the franchise sales every week. Got a lot from the last Golden Week sale last year (Persona 4 Golden and Maramusa Rebirth), so hoping more games land on that (Neptunia Rebirth 2 and the Miku games mainly for me; would love to get them for great prices
).That's a nice collection you have there. BTW What happened to you Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus box? Mine's beaten-up too, though not as bad as yours. Thanks postman! :/Now with Dekamori Senran Kagura, my current physical vita games looks like this.
I really have to buy DR1 and 2, lol.

I am 50/50 with going physical with Vita games. More often than not, the Vita doesn't get its games on their release date. They always come a few days or even a week late... I go for digital a lot because of that.
Regarding my retail vs. digital view, I find that my 3DS is more retail based (outside of E-Shop stuff) where's my Vita is digital focused mainly. I own a handful of retail games (Tearaway, Sly Collection, Hot Shots Golf, Lumines ES, Ys MoC, Ninja Giaden Sigma +) but everything else is strictly digital.
Many of my Vita games are from sales, PS+, or the very rare full price buy (PS1 games, R&C Collection, and SAO: Hallow Fragment); so I own a lot of games (if I counted, at least 180+ games XD!).

I go physical because nine times out of ten, mem card space is an issue. And I still can't afford a 64 GB card.

Sounds like you already got a copy. You should also buy it next time it goes on sale so you can keep the bubble on your vita next to the one for Chrono Cross.
Doesn't pass the sniff test. They make money off people buying Classics too, and there's no reason not to have both since they are effectively different markets.
I don't think even think it's a matter of their software team moving at a glacial pace. I think it's purely an issue of timing. For example, you wouldn't want to have PS1/PS2 Classics on the PS4 at launch because it would have taken the focus off of native games in the storefront and filled many people's libraries with potentially dozens of 'already owned' games. It would also have required development of non-mission critical firmware features, which is a huge no-no for a critical product launch.
So once you decide against launching with it, it simply becomes a matter of 'when'? Year 2 sounds good to me... announcing at E3 or Gamescom, and coming in fall alongside a big firmware update (store/library changes required).
That's how I'd do it if I were sony, at least. I wouldn't be surprised if they had them up and running on dev ps4s at sony hq right now.

Same here. I haven't been able to justify any card above 16 GB.
Other advantages: the recent Best Buy sale allowed me to get Dragon's Crown for half its lowest sale price on PSN, as well as UMvC3 which can no longer be bought digitally.

Yeah, Golden Week is the one I'm looking forward to most, as well! I'm holding out for Danganronpa 2 and the new Ys (though the new $19.99 is already tempting). But yeah, I'm waiting for another Telltale sale so I can pick up The Wolf Among Us on PS4.

Ah yes. I thought that might be it.
I'm also in the 16GB club. But recently, I am feeling the space issue. Will probably cave and import a 64GB sometime this year. Even though I prefer physical, those psn sales are my weakspot (plus more and more games are digital only).
i was going to get one but eventually i decided to stick with my 32

Jesus Christ, Playstation Customer Support is fucking worthless. The goddamn Vita hasn't even been out a fucking year in the US yet and yet I can't send in my system without being penalized $70 for something that could've been prevented with better quality control.

Really? I have only dealt with CS a couple of times, and they were all helpful. I am surprised about the $70 thing. When I sent mine in it was free, though I did get it in May and sent it in October.

How is Chrono Cross? Whenever I go online, I only see people talking about Trigger, hence why I feel like I should play it as a core gamer, many call it the greatest RPG of all time. Does Cross suffer from "sequel syndrome"?

So I tried the free trial of Playstation Now because I was curious how well it ran...I canceled the automatic renewal right away, at least I thought I did, but today I got an email saying this:
So I go back on my PS4 and check and see if I didn't cancel it after all... I go there and it says "restart automatical renewal" so I assume it's still in a canceled state, but I don't know if I should believe that or this email. Ugh.

I got the same email. They send it out no matter what. Then later you might get an email saying they could not process payment or something.
Though I recommend you check your account online.
I thought Chrono Cross was awesome, but it could be because I played it before Trigger. My only problem was that there were too many playable characters.
I used to have mgs3d and its by far the worst metal gear port of 3 . performance reaches the 10-15 fps some times. God. In this case in particular performance really bothers and I'm not a guy that expects every game at 60fps.

Got a question about pre-loads on PS4.
I bought Bloodborne the other day and tonight I thought I'd see if the game icon had appeared on PS4 (it hasn't yet). Anyway, I went to the LIBRARY and selected Bloodborne. From there I selected the countdown timer and there was an option for SET AUTO-DOWNLOAD. I selected that, and only the digital bonus item was selected, the game itself wasn't! Unless that is because the game isn't preloadable yet, that might explain why Destiny didn't work back last year.
Does anyone know if you have to do that for each pre-order on PS4? Or should it do that itself and I've missed a menu selection somewhere? I have Auto Downloads and Uploads checked etc and leave the PS4 in Rest Mode.
Anyway, does everyone have to check that Set Auto-Download with pre-order purchases?

I recommend Hotline Miami 2 out of those. I would recommend Grim Fandango, but I have not tried the Vita version.
About each game:
-HM2 is more of what made the original such a fun game, so for 12-15 bucks, it isn't a bad deal
-La Mulana looks a lot like Splunky but from what I heard about the tittle from here, it seems to be more of a Metroidvanna-type game with elements from Splunky (mainly exploring ruins and stuff). Looks like fun and while it is pricey, seems to be worth it.
-Grim Fandango is a classic and while I don't own it, I heard that the Vita version uses the touch screen in addition to physical controls (so it can play more like the PC version if you want then
). Looks to be a great version of a classic tittle.-Oreshika is a JRPG and one of the very last first party tittles from Sony....and from I've seen of it, it looks like a fun game
. Great art style, fun mechanics and interesting ansester system giving the game a lot of depth. Also, its nature as a JRPG also ensures that it will last quite a long while, so its budget price of 20 bucks is quite a steal . Hope this helps you Christan and I hope you enjoy whatever game you end up getting

If I am understanding the question, the problem is that Bloodborne is not downloading, right? The thing with Ps4 is that pre-load is only available the Sunday before it releases. Also, for my pre-loads I did not do anything, and they downloaded just fine when needed.

The consensus will be that you need to go pick up a $50 card and buy them all.
These games are so different it's really hard to pick one.
Personally I'd pick Oreshika, but... as long as you like each genre from both my experience and reading opinions you can't go wrong.
I hate Telltale for the $44 February sales of PS4 The Telltale Games Collection because I bought Tales from the Borderlands day one.

Really loving Wolf Among Us (yes, just getting around to it) on PS4. Far too janky for what it is and what it's running on, but definitely not a dealbreaker. I do dislike the obvious impacts the episodic nature has on the story though. I wish they'd at least experiment with just making some titles that are ONLY a season. That's the only way I'll buy 'em anyway, by the season...

As much as I loved Tales from the Borderlands, I gotta admit their handling of that series just sucks. 4 months between episode 1 and 2... Jesus. I'm glad that it's coming next week, but how long is it gonna be until episode 3 now?? Even though I got the season pass I may not even play the episode until they give me a release window for the 3rd episode this time around.
Their problem is that the CTO was the president of the company and a pretty bad manager. He moved on now, so things should get better.

Really, really, reaaly Japanese, in the greatest way possible. Browse through the OST on youtube and you will see, you have some beautiful tracks in there!
I don't blame you, it is super weird that Game of Thrones came out after and already had its second episode a month ago now, whereas Borderlands is just now coming. I guess they see Game of Thrones as the priority, which is unfortunate because personally I think Tales of the Borderlands was much better than the two Thrones so far.
I bought all of them (except for The Wolf Among Us) separately on PS4, so I'm with you. I remember it being $55 at one point, too, when it first released. If I'm not mistaken it came out a short time after the full-priced current seasons (Thrones and Borderlands) had their first releases, which is kind of crummy.
But the good news is that Telltale games go on sale A LOT, so what you're missing will be discounted soon enough.
