Thoroughly enjoying Knack so far... Really feels like I'm playing a Pixar movie, so much that my GF wants me to not play unless she can watch :(

AC4- Only about 5 hours in but it's terrible and I'm struggling to make myself keep going. It's a typical AC game where everything in it is pointless because there is no real progression with simplistic 1 button combat and the ship stuff has been just as easy so far. I only died once and that was the mission they give you a ship because you start off surrounded by giant ships with like 100 cannons on each side and as I was trying to figure out where to go I got destroyed.
For reference, how did you like Red Dead Redemption? I feel like these guys are trying to marry RDR with Uncharted, and they do pretty well in some parts...

Will the dualshock audio out always remain stereo only?

Could an update push 5.1 thru the controller? Love the feature. Wish it supported Dolby surround or 5.1 audio.

Good goddamn is Remote Play so so nice! Played some ACIV, a bit of FIFA, and some Warframe. SO smooth. It makes me want to finally upgrade to a better router though... get a bit more distance.

Also, has anyone else played Warframe on the Vita? The controls were not at all what they said they were... said L2 was back touchsceen and it was left dpad for 'example. With no way to actually set your own buttons I think it is a bit too wonky on Remote Play =(

So I noticed that when switching my audio output settings from HDMI to optical or LPCM to Bitstream that my headset makes a popping noise. Not normally big deal right?

But for all of my PS4 recorded videos using the share button there is always the same popping noise at the beginning of the clip. Is audio in the DMB using a different audio mode then from gameplay/videos? I guess its similar to the PS3?

Ugh its annoying that this gets captured in the share and I have to export to Youtube to edit it out. Nothing I can do about this I suppose outside of doing my share uploads while not using my headset? Anyone else running into this issue?

Specifically using Skullcandy PLYR1's. Anyone else notice this if using a headsets?

Hello fellow gaffers (UK gaffers in particular)

I previously pre ordered a PS4 with ASDA for Day One delivery but was silly and though I didn't want one. So, I gave it to a friend for the £20 deposit I paid.

Now, I've decided I would rather like a PS4 and if possible on release day...but I'm not willing to pay more than £385 for a bundle which seems the asking price for the PS4+1 game.

The only viable option I can see so far is spamming the crap out of the John Lewis website at midnight Thurs/Fri and paying for Saturday delivery. Anyone got any better suggestions?
 
PS4 Gamer Bundle (Killzone + 2 Controllers + PS Camera)
Battlefield 4
NBA 2K14

... soon.

I keep having an urge to buy another game, but I'm not entirely sure what or why. I get the impression that Knack and Assassin's Creed will be £20-£30 VERY quickly. That being said, I keep thinking about getting a VITA too. I think I'm just totally caught up in the anticipation.
 
Same here, though I still have doubts on NBA vs Fifa.

I used to love FIFA, but I realised last year that I'm never going to enjoy it again. I like football too much to enjoy FIFA. FIFA will never be the game I want it to be in terms of gameplay, it'll always be a hyper fast arcade based game where sprinting as fast as you can all the time is the ultimate winner.

Plus I really don't like the people you meet when playing online.
 
Gamer bundle. Shadow Fall, Extra Controller and the Camera for £430.

Nice. Same here - amazing value. I think it works out as basically getting a second DS4 free!

Potentially add another game to the mystery list.

What mystery list would this be? I'm assuming it's a first party list. Which makes me wonder why games like Helldivers or Hohokum aren't on it.

Does anyone have two PSN accounts, both with their PS4 set as the primary console? There are a few European gaffers in another thread wondering about this, as they may want to have both a US and Euro PSN account tied to their PS4, so they can buy some games from the US store and play on their Euro account.

I know you can only have one console as your primary, but can you have one PS4 be the primary for multiple people/accounts?

Easiest way to test is probably to make a second account and redeem a ps+ subscription on it then try to play a game you've redeemed on that but not your main account

I think we could probably add Demon's Souls 2, God of War,Last Guardian and LittleBigPlanet to the list? One more spot for a game starting with L, Legend of Dragoon 2? Interesting that according to the list no Ratchet games are planned, or would they be considered 3rd party if Insomniac are making them?

I really dislike RDR but that's because of Rockstar's GTA 4-like philosophy with the game, where there was nothing to really do besides missions and the majority of the world was empty desert. Pretty much the exact opposite of the Assassin's Creed games, they go too far in the opposite direction with all of the clutter and useless side elements.

Demonite posted it, only added in games that are not announced to the existing SCE titles. None of the bullets are anything that has been announced yet, so 16 unannounced PS4 titles I think.

Pinball Arcade, Tiny Brains, and War Thunder confirmed for early December as well (War Thunder is coming this week for Euro launch I think). I'm sure there will be more.

Does Pinball Arcade have online? Tiny Brains is a must and War Thunder is a pretty good f2p. Is the ground warfare in beta on PC yet?

I've got a quick question for US-GAF about Battlefield 4.

I was thinking about buying a PS3 copy of the game, since most of my friends aren't going next-gen just yet, and I want to be able to play with them.

Might sound daft, but if I do the £10 upgrade thing and get a PS4 version too, my original PS3 game will still work, right? Ideally I want to be able to freely swap between both consoles and have all my stats etc carry over.

I only died once and that was the mission they give you a ship because you start off surrounded by giant ships with like 100 cannons on each side and as I was trying to figure out where to go I got destroyed.

This is what I was afraid of and has been my experience in every Assassin's Creed game I've played (though I've apparently skipped the best ones). I think I will pass on this.

Perhaps that's the reason Verendus said an announcement won't come anytime soon. I think they will finish XV first, and then that team will move to develop the FFVII remake (I believe XV is being developed by the main Square team? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't leave such remake in the hands of some second team...).

You're forgeting that there going to make XV sequels.

You trade in your PS3 copy and pay £10 to get the PS4 copy. So there will be no freely swapping between versions.

Not sure about stat transfer though.

no. a 3.5mm jack won't be able to do 5.1 audio.


as you can see this jack has four contact points. ground, left audio, right audio, chat

Best to stick with an amp like the Turtle Beach DSS box that comes bundled with their DPX21 or just buying it standalone from them for 50. Best thing I've bought since it pipes audio to anything on the other end from headphones to using that 3.5mm jack for my PC speakers.

Maybe a little OT. But are there any December/January PS4 releases?

I'm guessing only the indie side because all I see are Thief/Driveclub/Infamous for early 2014.

Oh, I thought the game came with a code that you redeemed on the store? Doesn't your PS3 disc need to be in the console to even play the PS4 version?
