gmac Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I'll happily take £10 if anybody wants it. I'll take it at that price if you really don't want it
Clownferret Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I'll take it at that price if you really don't want it it's all yours. PM me your address. My cousins name is George Mcfarlane and his nickname is GMac, thought I'd share that with you.
Shorty Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Hold on, you've not actually played it, you're just giving it away on the cheapsies? You know it won a tonne of Game of the Year awards and it's a brilliant game, right?
dwarf Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) This has the whiff of a publicity stunt. Why would you not want to play it? Even if it was just to gauge the zeitgeist and experience a near-flawless technical showcase. Edited December 2, 2014 by dwarf
Sheikah Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 This has the whiff of a publicity stunt. Why would you not want to play it? I heard it's not the sixth sequel to something. So there is that...
Esequiel Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I think its a bit meh so far. Really not getting "it" yet.
Aneres11 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 This is absolutely brilliant. Limited edition PS1-style PS4 announced for PlayStation's 20th anniversary. A PS4 console styled similar to the original PlayStation has been announced by Sony. The hardware, which features a grey finish and the original colour PlayStation logo on the console and controller, was announced as part of PlayStation's 20th anniversary. Coming bundled with a PlayStation Camera, DualShock 4 and other accessories, the model will be limited to 12,300 units worldwide, a number based on PlayStation's original December 3 release date. It will be on sale via PlayStation Experience event in Las Vegas this weekend. It will also be available in Europe, but not through "traditional retail channels", with details coming at a later date. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a614085/limited-edition-ps1-style-ps4-announced-for-playstations-20th-anniversary.html#~oXnmuTdbEHkjlc I love this. Should have always been this colour!!
Jimbob Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 That is very impressive, i guess this was what Sony was on about.
James Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 There is a swish PSOne theme available for everyone toooooo
Hero-of-Time Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I need that console! I've just seen that Sky was added to the PS4! Well happy with that surprise as I've been without it since I traded my 360 for the Playstation. I can finally watch the footy on my TV again.
Jimbob Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 There is a swish PSOne theme available for everyone toooooo With a very familiar opening tune.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 *dat feel where you never owned a PSOne or PS2..or PS3 so don't know how to react to the new model or theme announcement*
Hero-of-Time Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Putting the Sky app through its paces and it's much better than it was on the 360. It seems a lot more stable and the picture quality is much improved. Loving it.: peace: *dat feel where you never owned a PSOne or PS2..or PS3 so don't know how to react to the new model or theme announcement* You missed out on soooooooo many good and iconic games.

I probably did, but I was usually a one-console guy. I've never really had more than one gaming system at a time. My history was: Spectrum ZX Commodore64 SNES -put the SNES away and play with the Master System and Mega Drive- Go back to SNES years later N64 GameCube Dreamcast for a bit Wii WiiU PS4 Even when I owned more than one system of that generation, I never played it alongside another. Even now, I don't touch the WiiU and have made the switch over to PS4. It would be like sleeping with more than one girl at a time. I can't handle it. I'm a one-woman man.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Sky app allows you to watch Sky tv on the PS4. You need a Sky account to use it though. It's essentially the Sky Go app. Luckily my sister has Sky and allows me to jack in and register the PS4 as one of her devices to stream the service to.

I was always trading my console in to switch for another. There were too many good games spread across the platforms for me to stick to one. It wasn't until I started working full time that I started being a multi console owner.

Looking back, I wish I had jumped on either the PS2 or PS3. They all seem like good systems. Have to admit, as gamers, we have been blessed with some fucking great games over the years!
Clownferret Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Well I'm now officially part of the PS4 family. Well currently I'm a double member as I have 2 of them until I send one back. Will be getting Fifa and Alien first up.

With the recent trailers and nostalgia videos from Sony celebrating 20 years of the Playstation brand, it's crazy just how many amazing games were on the PS platforms over the years. Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Onimusha, Gran Turismo, Tony Hawks, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider, Abes Odyssey, Ape Escape, Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts, Monster Hunter....the list goes on and on.

Get playing with us on the Pro Clubs for the LOLs.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Anyone know if there is a way to turn off the People You May Know ( or whatever its called ) feature at the top of your friends list? It's annoying the hell out of me. If I wanted to add someone I would have already. They seem to be all of @Cookyman mates who keep popping up.
Clownferret Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Get playing with us on the Pro Clubs for the LOLs. PS4 is officially a christmas present for Ferret Jnr, so no FIFA until 25th, but I can't wait to replicate last nights result against @dazzybee

I do wish that Sony would have more pride in their legacy in general. Compared to the likes of Nintendo, their own efforts to preserve and promote their past always come across as a bit half-hearted. Like take their emulation efforts for example, especially the PS2 on PS3 emulation - which is really lacking in quality - or their current 20th anniversary sale on the EU PSN; the PS1 selection is a pretty good representation of the platform in general, but the PS2 and PS3 selection is woefully lacking in that respect - it's mostly generic multiplatform stuff like COD or Asscreed; why not more stuff like the DMC collection? Stuff that is still really very much associated with Playstation? Likewise, with that new limited edition PS4 based on the PS1 colours, it would be a nice gesture but it ends up coming off as cynical to me because it's so limited in quantity and needlessly expensive; it feels like they're just gouging their most hardcore of fans for a quick buck (it should just be time limited and available everywhere at a normal price, that would be a much better way of celebrating their legacy!) It's not that Sony don't have a legacy to be proud of, they certainly do! (not like Xbox, which barely has any notable legacy to speak of at all outside of Xbox Live and Halo), I just never really feel that it's given the care, attention and focus that it should be getting; even now, their anniversary efforts still feel half-hearted to me. I hope that this upcoming PS Experience event does a better job of actually feeling like a true celebration of their 20 year history. So far, I'm not really impressed, but that could still change. I hope so anyway. Edited December 4, 2014 by Dcubed

They should at least go all out like Nintendo did for Mario's anniversary....
Daft Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I thought a massive part of PS4 launch campaign was about legacy. I'd rather they not become irreverent about it. I don't need them becoming like Nintendo; afraid to leave the past behind. And although that way of thinking will have casualties - like WipeOut - it also means a higher rate of new IPs which while not being dependably great in quality, at least feel fresh. But, yeah, they need to sort emulation out. I'm not bothered because I barely have time to play new games but they should support their history in that regards.

Yeah, their launch campaign was largely focused around their legacy and that was nice to see (it wasn't as good as it could've been in that respect, but I digress) But still, my main point still stands. I still think that they don't generally value their past as much as they should do.
