It would be nice if they could add Google Drive support (or other cloud storage with decent free space), so you could have good quality screenshots without having to mess around with USB sticks/drives.

What is it with the word fall these days?

You have it? How is it? How's the multiplayer? Worth it for just two people? 14€ are quite something...

 

And I've just seen that SteamWorld Dig is out :o Oh man, I'll definitely buy this now!

And Luftrausers. Both with Cross-Buy (which isn't really useful for me as my PS3 is currently only a Dark Souls 2 machine, but I'll take it :p ) Fuckin' hell what a great update. There goes my money.

 

PSVita is getting some love!

Towerfall...is...amazing. It's SO much fun. It feels like an arcadey high-speed version of Smash Bros.

Sounds great, but I read that is has no online multiplayer. I mean, local multiplayer and co-op are great, but it's tough to get people around these days. And having four DS4s at hand.

 

Will have to pass, sadly :(

Yeah, that's probably wise. I get why there isn't any online - it's as quick as lightning. When it eventually goes on sale I still recommend you pick it up. It has a quest mode and on the off chance you do have people round it's a butt load of fun. Even the versus with one vs one is a blast.

I've got zero interest in baseball but these screens from MLB The Show 14 are insane.

Anyone know if them PS4/Vita/PS3 Wireless Headsets are any good?. Been contemplating a purchase, my current headset doesn't seem to be fully working on the PS4.

I have the Wireless 2.0 Headset and think it's great. Especially playing inFamous with it's specialized setting from the Headset Companion app is awesome.

 

There may be better headphones but I don't have a lot of knowledge about that field of tech.

 

 

Shame that the USB dongle used for the wireless connection broke somehow...just stopped working mid-use. :( Hopefully Sony's customer service is good...

It needs a USB dongle? That seems weird, you'd think it would be designed to work without one (this and the camera would mean no ports left for charging your controller).

 

I've had it on preorder for a while on GameStop, apparently they say there'll be stock mid-April (I don't fancy paying over the odds to get it elsewhere).

The camera uses a proprietary port at the back of the PS4.

The headphones are also designed for game audio, and Bluetooth isn't the best for audio quality.

 

It also means that they're not propriety, so they can be used with other devices.

I'll be assuming you are using the included 3.5mm audio jack since the dongle has broke.

I've paid £85 for a pair. Amazon (well, a different seller represented on Amazon) are selling them for £129.99

Nope, 'cause the cable is really short :p

 

I'm currently waiting for Sony to respond to my email.

The new NinjaBot game they released for the camera is a lot of fun. I just wish it had a level generator. Kind of silly there's only one level because it looks pretty beautiful and it's a lot of fun.

I want a YouTube app. Ugh.

 

Your welcome.

 

While there is no native YouTube app (yet) for PS4, there's a way to get back an almost exact replica. Almost.

 

It's not as easy as a native app. It's not as direct, but it's at least acceptable.

 

1) Open the Internet browser

2) Go to "http://www.youtube.com/tv"

3) You'll now see the 'native YouTube app' that we had before

 

Additional steps for 'optimal' experience:

 

- Use the square button to go full screen

- If used frequently, the "YouTube TV" page will show up on your "Frequently Used Pages" list, for even quicker access

 

Bookmark

You can also create a bookmark for quick access. When you are on the webpage "http://www.youtube.com/tv", press the "Options" button and select "Add boodmark".

 

Once it is in your "Frequently Used Pages" or "Bookmarks" list, it's not that bothersome. Sure, it is still one or two steps more than before - but at least we can use YouTube.

That's a lot of stuff coming this year. I'm interested to see what the next Dragon Age will be like. Really hope they make it more like the first but with the combat from the second.

Most of that is indie stuff, I'd be interested which are retail games. Though I guess it's all pretty quiet for all of them until e3

Should we differentiate? A game is a game, and the indie scene is keeping all of the consoles afloat right now.

 

But as you said, a lot is unknown and will be until June.

Any PS4 owners here that aren't happy with the console? Or even if you do like it, what drawbacks have you noticed? Just curious.
