Yeah, I edited my post when I realised.
i'm using hd-555s all day. so comfortable and they sound great.
i've never used the ps4 golds but i'd really be interested in how they hold up.
also, if i do end up using s mic: what is everyones favorite small ps4 mic?
That just because SCEJA decides to bundle a game, it does not follow that SCEA decides to bundle a game.

Seeing Planet of the Apes grown over environments gave me such an urge to play this.
Really hope they implemented some good AA.

Off topic, but how was the movie?
That was not what I was trying to say.
First off, I'm not under SCEJA, i'm under SCEH.
Secondly,the reason i said it sld come out in the US as well is because SCEH is always neglected in things like bundles. Thus why i said would be surprising is US didnt get it. Hope that clarified things.
Yea i hated that about the players. Especially since its soooo crucial to communicate in a game like that. Wasn't there a GAF group for TLOU?

Same. Would've preferred that Ellie a lot more.
If there is, I need to get in.
True about the crucial part - you can follow people who are freelancing and help them, but that is not a actical approach.
I wonder if we'll see a game with multiple BD's this generation. Maybe Uncharted 4, but then again, it was said that it will have real time cutscenes. Not pre-rendered like TLOUR.
I think someone mentioned a PSN ID exchange taking place a couple days before launch. Not sure if it'll be in the OT or have its own thread.
I wouldnt be surprised if they did.Perhaps they might utilize the dual layer blu rays.
Witcher 3 must need more than 50 GBs....Surely

Isn't it done inengine this time? That is what he was asking and pointing to I guess.

Open world games are usually the smallest in size due to reuse of assets. Not that I'd be mad if it was 100 gigs, but I don't see it happening.

I don't believe so, just re rendered.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. Not perfect but very enjoyable.
Also special effects wise it was the first movie IMO to make Avatar look dated. Straight up photorealistic at many points.
We are only a couple/few years away from CG that it's 100% indistinguishable from live action. Awesome stuff.
Not 100% sure what you mean but there is a "no parties" mode in multiplayer on PS3.

For someone who has played the ps3 version on normal and found it quite hard..
do you recommend playing at a higher difficulty this time? And i remember some enemies can kill you pretty quickly as it is, what exactly becomes harder on harder difficulties?
i dont wanna go high as grounded though.

Well unfortunately the skills and weapons don't carry over to the remastered version. And buying those piecemeal are fucking expensive.
True that.
I've meant Left Behind + both DLC map packs + Grounded mode mainly. That alone is nearnig the price of remaster.
Yeah they really made the season pass attractive by making the piecemeal price extremely expensive.
If you bought them on PS3, they carry over to PS4
Oh I know, the person I was replying to didn't buy them though.
Even if they do, I think it is really better to not waste money on ps3 dlc, but getting it all in the remaster.
Some very cool artwork of infected animals
Maaaaaaaaaaaaan, this is so awesome.
Well, I bought the season pass before the original game even came out, so I'm good to go

Is the prequel graphic novel any good? I was thinking of reading it before I played the game.

Yes, they definitely give you insight into Ellie that you won't get in the games. There are also things that she'll mention in the main game that you'll only pick up on if you've read them.

Cool, thanks. I'll give it a go. That art book looks gorgeous as well.
I'll echo this. If only it was longer. If they decided to drop Ellie and Joel for the sequel or they just don't make a TLoU 2, I wouldn't mind if they "live on" in a new graphic novel.
I liked it. It's short but helps to flesh out Ellie's character quite a bit. Lots of references to it in Left Behind too.
What kind of chatter are you looking for?
Personally I love my Sony Bluetooth and my Logitech F540 for one very important reason. I like to mute myself and wish everyone else would too.
I speak only at important situations when needed. If we are being flanked, if focus by our team on one side of the map has exposed an opening that the enemy is taking advantage of, if I a in a firefight that I can't win I will relay position and information about that crew so that someone can come after them of be careful in their encounter. If a well hidden bomb/mine/etc is not easily detetcted, etc.
Outside of that I hate non in game chatter. I remember being asked and asking people in socom back in the day to keep the chatter down to a minimum outside of tactical info. The most talking should come from snipers relaying what they see. A close combat shooter sharing information about the enemies defensive position. If you see an enemy creeping along.
Or if player x needs to take a break, answer the door, walk their dog. Don't just leave, let us know.
I always said that if Playstation added a mic to their console that it would not change the culture of the typical playstation gamer and the typical (old school) playstation gamer doesn't just chat.
Chatter and trash talk was always left in the lobby and clan practice.
Even when I played Bad Company 2, Killzone 2, Socom for PS3, chatter was always a minimal thing and I would just mute gamers that talked about random stuff.
With that said, I miss push to talk.
Now that we are on the MP subject. A reminder to the new comers.
There are two ways to play TLoU MP.
1. Respawn: Just like any game, you die, you wait a few seconds, you come back to life. I really only use this for warming up. This may or may not be a favorite for some.
2. No Respawn: You die, you do not come back until the beginning of the next round. Even more reason to keep the chatter down, with only one life, everything you do and focus on is imporatant. This to me is the only way to play the game, one life per round.
Try both before making an opinion on the MP. One may or may not be right for you. But caring if your character lives or dies I think adds to the immersion and how serious you take your playing approach.
Also:
Supplies: Supplies can be more important than a kill/death ratio sometimes. If your linked to facebook, your supplies you gather grow your camp and keep your camp alive and healthy. I laugh every time I see a text that my mother in law fixed a fishing net or that my brother has completed working on a fence or that another facebook friend died from lack of food rations or medical supplies. No nothing gets posted on your facebook, its just an in game integration giving you real life people to protect and gather supplies for. Your not playing to win your playing to keep your camp alive.
You make it sound like you need to link Facebook for the clan/village thing. Facebook just names the villagers after your friends.
Okay. I am looking for tactical chatter - let me know what you see, lets cover, lets plan flaking. You know, talking in the game-verse.
I am sorry for the absence of push to talk for your sake, man
Tell me, who is typical ps gamer?
ed: I use wireless v2.0 headset aka gold and disable it everytime I don't need to talk.
You also get 3 extra one use boosters when you link your face book

I found normal challenging enough. It wasn't too easy, and I could still enjoy the game.
My second play through was on hard. Obviously the infected are stronger and Joel is weaker. The real challenge came from there being much less raw materials to craft or upgrade with. That is the real challenge, because by the end of the game, Joel might have only one attribute or weapon fully upgraded.

So how is that going to work?
What do you mean?
Saw this brief discussion and immediately bought it on Amazon. Hopefully it makes the wait a little bit easier before it makes it so much worse.

I got the season pass, but how do we download it onto the PS4? I'm assuming it would work like cross-buy.
I assume so. I mean, the downloads were just access keys anyway, so it may be just server side.
When the weapons came out, I was able to use them instantly without having to download the access keys.

Doesn't the digital preorder give you the multiplayer perks?

It should, I got them last year when I bought the game digitally!
