This needs to be changed.
 
UKIP killed me..

In Dutch it's like You Chicken, which is ironic and stuff.

So I heard Sony is finally telling us when to expect our consoles over here tomorrow :)

Not long now! The wait has seriously been dragging on. If my PS4 arrives on the Friday, I won't even be able to touch it until Saturday...which makes the wait even more unbearable.
 
In any other year it's a shitty line up , there simy isn't a system seller there.

I'm looking at that list and I'm not thinking "holy shit that looks great !" I'm thinking " huh , I'm gonna have to buy an Xbox next Christmas "


Edit : forgot about Uncharted , still a crappy list , though.

Honest question here, if someone takes a look at lists like that and think "I'd rather/need get this other system" then why would you get a PS4 at this moment anyways? Wouldn't it have made sense to buy one when games you want are at least out or close to being released or heck, even announced? I mean I got a PS4 at launch but thats cause I took a look at these lists and said "There are games I want for it at launch or in the coming year". I genuinely am interested in why someone would buy so early/ not just have gotten the Xbox.

For some reason I've put quite a bit of time into every one of my PS4 games except Killzone. I have no idea why I'm not playing that yet.

I was initially down on Killzone, but I came back to the campaign and am really enjoying it. I haven't gotten to the part that people seem to hate though (last quarter of the game)

Thanks.

I thought the prior Killzone games were pretty decent fun. Only played the single player, but I would need the multiplayer for this one for it to be worth the launch asking price.

I'm kinda afraid of ACIV, because Ubisoft games usually are pretty fun in the beginning but then turn into checklist-like grinds/slogs in my opinion (far cry 3 etc..).
Maybe be wary of my opinion with ACIV slightly. I've only played AC2 and that was a good while ago. I enjoyed that, and I didn't find ACIV repetitive or boring. It was good. I think it would be better to check the OT and see what folks who played the entire series are saying. As long as you avoid spoilers, it would be a good idea. Their opinion may matter more if you've been keeping up with everything AC in the past several years.

Im in the same boat as Verendus in that I stepped away from the franchise after AC2, picked this up and am reallllllly enjoying it, for what that is worth.

Its been one of my favorite games of the year.
 
I expect nothing less than Gran Turismo 7.

You're likely expecting way too much if you're expecting Sony to announce GT7 a day after they release GT6.

Anyway, does anyone know what happened to Colony Wars on the PS2? Years ago (I think it was early or mid cycle for that consoles) Sony posted on the Euro Playstation site that a new CW was in development and then nothing was ever said about it again. It was going to have an online focus if I remember correctly.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Have not got who he is, don't do politics
But on the subject UK is not really part of EU
We have a place on the EU, but thats where the problem is, we're not fully.committed to the EU
we're kinda one foot in, one foot out, totally different to the rest of Europe in a lot of things
Obviously some want to change that and some don't
But my comment was more to do with use to seeing "EU & UK"
Hence, "are British not welcome"

On topic
What are PS4 disc like?
Remember PS2 had the PS logo on them, wish that would come back

NA help an European gamer out: Friday is PlaystationDay, today my pre order was cleard. The store has 10 PS4's and Im 6th on the list.

What about games?
1. Do i buy BF4 or Killzone? Or both?
2. Need for Speed or Asssassins Creed?
3. Camera, yes or No?
 
Eh I hope you guys aren't getting too excited about Verendus's hints. It's not a gonna be the megaton sony fans are looking for like a Colony Wars reboot or a new Crash Bandicoot or FF7 remake or anything. It's probably something like The Agent is getting renounced which would make sense since Rockstar is finished with GTA V and Sony needs something big to get attention away from Titanfall

Hot Shots golf would fit in that list. everybody's golf wouldn't though.

And gran Turismo 7 prologue (or god forbid the full game)

AC4 is a lot better than AC3 , the setting, character and pirate related stuff is really fun and actually interesting . However at its core it's still the same old AC2/brotherhood gameplay and has the same core AC flaws so far (tons of stuff to do but that doesn't feel like it amounts to anything, janky at times (but far less so than AC3) , same old same old tailing,eavesdropping,don't get detected, assassin mission structures) . But overall I've quite enjoyed it.

Look at your passport. Then go look at a map. Jesus.
 
So who's ordered from Amazon UK? I am checking my order page periodically and nothing's happening. Come on, charge me ffs.

I have an order with them. I think Wednesday they'll charge and then ship out thursday for delivery on launch day. Don't worry they leave things until right up to the date.

I was originally going to order Killzone, but just switched to BF4 after hearing that there is an upcoming fix for the EU release.

I choose AC4 over NFS, but they are such different genres it really comes down to what you prefer. Personally I'm burnt out on NFS. The series does nothing for me anymore.

I'm skipping the camera for the time being but I'll probably grab one later on down the line.
 
WTF is wrong with some of you. I make it say NOW WELCOMING and some people take it as a personal offense OMG
Some British people don't like being called European due to patriotism or some old bollocks. Hell, some English people don't even like being called British. It's mental.

The European region for PSN is screwed up anyway since it also includes Aussies and Kiwis lol.

Is the Main character as engaging a Ezio? I found that, coupled with the nigh-on perfect map of Firenze were the big hooks for me in 2.
 
I can't take the wait anymore! I'm being tortured with two and a half hours of I'm a celebrity get me out of here every night by my OH but my remote play saviour is almost here!

I wouldn't expect anything new at VGX. Just more Uncharted.

Because I didn't want to pay *at least* £430 for a console that has inferior multiplats.

I bought a PS3 at launch as well and had nothing to play for a long time, this feels the same tbh. I think it's possibly that I'm starting to think that Sony simply hasn't got anything to announce rather than it being some super secret master plan to drip feed info on new games.

I await ( and hope ) to be proven wrong.

What hints?


It wasn't that long ago you were telling us Sony had a genuine megaton to drop, iirc it was in the run up to Gamescom thread, is that not happening anymore ?

Question for PS4 owners:
Can we annotate our friends list at all? One thing that drives me nuts about the friends list right now is that people have different names in different places. So on GAF there will be someone named "TheBigSlosh", but on PSN the name is "SpaceInvader10". At some point I just look at "SpaceInvader10" and wonder who the hell that is, because there's too big of a disconnect. I would love it if I could put a comment below the person's PSN ID to remind myself of who they are and why I know them...anything like that going on?

I wish you could add tags to your friendslist. First create tags such as NeoGaf, NFS, BF4, Work, etc. Then just select from a list when assigning one or more to each friend. Then it would be nice to be able to only see friends with certain tags as a filter.

Another nice feature would be able to sort friends since they were last online like PS3 does automatically. Maybe this is there and I just haven't seen it.

I really need a new Hot Shots Golf. Who's with me?

I would be down for that.

Welcome to console launches, can't remember a console which really shot out of the gates when it came to game releases.

GBC might be the exception for me

Yeah, but that's just a general comment. SCE does have various big things on the way. It's not a hint.

Awww... So you were joking about the whole Final Fantasy VII remake? =(
That's real, but it's not being revealed anytime soon. I'm sure you won't even remember this post by the time it is announced. Plus, it's not like I was hinting anything with that. It was pretty straight forward.

Is the Main character as engaging a Ezio? I found that, coupled with the nigh-on perfect map of Firenze were the big hooks for me in 2.
He's different; I had no problems with him though.
