Happenstance Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 lol £55, what are they smoking? I assume the touchpad must be driving up the price
Daft Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Also the light bar. Probably the upgraded gyroscopes and the magnetometer, too.
V. Amoleo Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 That Killzone bundle would make me move my pre-order too. I'm already buying Killzone and the camera for an extra £84 so it's a no brainer if it's going to be £429 (the same price as the Xbox One).
The Bard Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Still not really sold on either of the next gen consoles. Well, obviously more sold on the PS4 than the Xbone. None of the exclusives other than, for some reason The Order: 1886, tickle me at the moment. I think I might just upgrade my PC, octo-core AMD CPUs are pretty cheap these days, and they're almost twice the clock rate of the PS4 and XBone CPUs. The only problem is the physical memory allocation. I've got 8 gigs of ram, but they converse with the CPU and GPU via PCIe, which is obviously much slower then everything being on the same die. But to be honest, it's only a matter of time til 6-8GB GDDR5 GPUs are cheaply available.
Retro_Link Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 Yeah, saw that earlier, it's a timed indie exclusive.
The Bard Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 It looks like butt. Unless it's a pastiche of shitty Megadrive-era anime inspired Japo trash. In which case it would be ironically butt, but butt nonetheless.
ReZourceman Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I need a red controller, but I can't justify £55 on something I won't be looking at.
Eddage Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I need a red controller, but I can't justify £55 on something I won't be looking at. Wait, controllers cost £55?!
Happenstance Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Wait, controllers cost £55?! Their RRP is £55, hopefully they will be a bit cheaper.
ReZourceman Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Wait, controllers cost £55?! Their RRP is £55, hopefully they will be a bit cheaper. PS3 ones RRP'd around the £45 mark, and I don't recall ever seeing official ones for much below that sum. Certainly, for pre-order the PS4 ones are indeed £54.99 from the main places.
Sheikah Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 They should put the coloured ones in the box.

Got the red one for £30 on Amazon (third party seller) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Sony-DualShock-Controller-Playstation/dp/B006ZX6DUW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378039001&sr=8-1&keywords=ps3+controller+red PS3 controllers can often be found around £35 from Shopto, Zazzi etc...

I wouldn't buy a PS3 controller from a third party seller as fakes are rife. They are pretty convincing, but overall the quality takes a hit.
Retro_Link Posted September 1, 2013 Author Posted September 1, 2013 yeah agreed. But still black ones are generally on sale for £35. @ReZourceman http://shopto.net/video%20games/ps3/PS3DU03-sony-dualshock-3-red £37.85
Retro_Link Posted September 2, 2013 Author Posted September 2, 2013 http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/09/02/shuhei-yoshida-introduces-the-ps4-ui-at-gamescom-2013/ One of the most memorable moments from our gamescom press conference last week was surely the sight of Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida taking the gathered audience on a tour of the new PS4 user interface live on stage from the comfort of a big old leather armchair. If you haven’t seen it yet, please do take a look at our video above to see him hop seamlessly from the PS4 home screen, into a livecast of a friend playing Killzone: Shadow Fall, before joining the game, then, finally, sending a screenshot of the session straight out to his Twitter feed. PlayStation Blog caught up with Yoshida-san the morning after the show to go into a little more detail on the PS4 UI and find out what he’s most excited for players to see come 29th November. Interview in the link.
Daft Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Timesplitters Rewind Is In Development For PS4 “We're actually going to go ahead and start development [of Timesplitters Rewind] on PlayStation 4. Just because we're pretty confident Crytek's going to say go ahead and do it. But we don't want them saying go ahead and do it when we're caught with our pants down and we're like halfway through development and [then] start something for the PlayStation 4. "So we decided that since they released the SDK to allow us to do this, we're going to go ahead and do it ourselves, and when they say 'yes' or 'no' we can decide what to do with that. For now we're just going to go ahead and do it. So at least we're prepared”.
dwarf Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 For me this isn't the future of entertainment but hey, it's there if you want it Sony set to go big with virtual reality on PlayStation 4 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-03-sony-set-to-go-big-with-virtual-reality-on-playstation-4
Daft Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 I think it's really promising. I've heard nothing but great things about OR.
Shorty Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Yeah very cool, I love the look of OR. I think OR and omni-treadmills are going to lead to a generation of super-fit gamers :p
The Bard Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 I pretty much want nothing more from the world of videogames than to get my hands on the Oculus Rift, but I suspect that no game out at the moment will translate well to it, because they just weren't designed for virtual reality. Imagine playing something as hyper kinetic as TF2 in virtual reality. You'd barf your stomach lining.
Sheikah Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Yeah, I would love for something like Sword Art Online. Except the whole enslavement and murder by the GM thing. Definitely no enslavement.

You know TF2 is one of the most popular games people are playing on the OR yeah? http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/20/this-is-what-playing-tf2-with-an-oculus-rift-and-an-omni-directi/

Is it really one of the most popular though, or is it just something this company are using to advertise their treadmill? And the nature of the game is that it's supposed to be really fast, which is why it didn't work on consoles - I can't really see it being that much fun on the Rift after the novelty wears off, I'd rather games were made specifically for VR.
