Eddage Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I got a new job so to celebrate I'm about to order a PS4! Can get one with Destiny (which I will likely trade in for another game) for £329 from Amazon, is that the best sort of price I can hope for at the moment?
ReZourceman Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I don't have any kind of knowledge or information, but I'd be surprised if theres any kind of price drop imminent.
Jimbob Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 £329 is a good price, and if Destiny comes in disk-form then that is a very good price indeed. Don't forget your PS+ if you don't have it already, it's required for online play.
Ronnie Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Ok I'm obviously a massive Nintendo fan, had every console since the NES etc. The only non Nintendo I've bought is the original Playstation, a Game Gear and a Lynx, BUT I'm starting to consider getting a PS4. I know I'll get one eventually for No Man's Sky, Tearaway and Ryme (my kind of games) so now seems as a good a time as any. I'm not really into shooters (Mass Effect a huge exception), but Destiny sort of intrigues me and I want to play it now that people are starting out rather than a few months when everyone will be amazing. The Wii U release schedule is pretty barren for the next few months, especially with Captain Toad pushed to next year. Might be a good time. Hmmm, so tempting....
Tales Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I don't have any kind of knowledge or information, but I'd be surprised if theres any kind of price drop imminent. About that, has there been a price drop over the summer? I thought I bought mine at sale, but two months later a lot of stores over here seem to have lowered it by 40£ permantly.
Eddage Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 It is done, apparently I could get another amazon prime trial as well which means free next day delivery. My PS4, Destiny and The Last of Us shall be arriving on Saturday!

Might be a good time. Hmmm, so tempting.... It's a tricky one, if you haven't played stuff like last of us and tomb raider it's probably worth it. But I think the opposite of some here,I think the games on the ps4 is borderline awful. Or maybe borderline awful for me. I Already have last of us and tomb raider on the PS3. Infamous was good fun, but not great by any stretch. Destiny seems okay.... The only game on the system ive loved is resogun. Obviously the games will come, but this year I'm just looking forward to fifa and hoping alien is as good as it looks. That's it. I think this generation is the most disappointing gaming generation there's been. Technologically it's incredibly disappointing. Do games look a generation leap ahead of last, not even close. Other than some nice services, I've not ONCE felt like I'm playing next gen. No ones fault, think it's the way technology has gone. It says a lot when peoples best games, or most exciting games are small indies that dont need the tech at all.

I know I'll get one eventually for No Man's Sky, Tearaway and Ryme (my kind of games) so now seems as a good a time as any. Great games out there. InFAMOUS: Second Son/First Light Killzone AC IV (if you haven't played it yet) The Last of Us (even if you've played it already) Diablo 3 (also on PC, but the console versions are awesome for couch co-op) Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (if you're into the MGS series and are looking for amazing graphics) Watch Dogs (there are mixed opinions, I loved it) Tomb Raider (awesome, AWESOME Definite Edition) Battlefield 4 (for some massive multiplayer action) Destiny (for that great game that it already is) And then there are many indies/PSN games (Transistor, Resogun, Child of Light, Towerfall Ascension, Strider, Don't Starve, Trials Fusion) If there's anything that you find interested in, I'd say: Go for it. If there isn't, wait until the games you want are out. What everyone here will tell you (except dazzy :p): PS4 has been an amazing journey so far.
Ronnie Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I'm not into shooters much though so that cuts out what feels like two thirds of PS4's "must play" list. Destiny I'm willing to give it a go though because it seems fairly interesting (for a shooter). I'm also really hoping Bioware do a remastered Mass Effect trilogy as I've never played 1 and 2 (but am desperate to do so). That's the shooter exception as it's a little different. I've not played any Tomb Raiders, AC's or Uncharted's. Keen to play Journey. Watch Dogs and Tomb Raider maybe. Transistor I definitely want to play, as well as the upcoming No Man's Sky, Tearaway, Ryse and Inside (Limbo 2). I'm much more of a platformer/adventure kind of gamer I think.

I was in a similar boat to you because I've been Nintendo only for most of my life (except for the SEGA systems bar the Saturn and I also had the original Xbox...which I never touched really) and fancied something different. Only ever played the first two Tomb Raiders and didn't love them. Never played Assassin's Creed, never played The Last of Us. Kind of out of the loop if I'm honest. So far, I own Tomb Raider, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed IV, Battlefield 4, The Last of Us and Destiny. Tomb Raider and The Last of Us are two of the very best games that I've played in the last five or so years on any system. I plunged so much time into Watch Dogs, Ine is addicted to Assassin's Creed and I enjoy the multiplayer on Battlefield and Destiny. There's also a fair few downloadable games that we have acquired. Resogun is great, as is Strider. Transistor hasn't been touched yet but I hear it's good. You'll build up a stockpile of quite a few games because of PS+. Fl0W, Flower and Journey are games that I am looking forward to playing at some point. Is there a reason you're not considering shooters? I'm not huge on them, but Metro Redux looks really, really good to me. As does Alien Isolation which is my most anticipated title of the year. There's quite a lot of variety in the genre, probably more so than you'd expect. Either way, if you didn't have a PS3 or 360 last gen, the incentive to jump on it now is pretty good, imo. It's only going to get better, too. I'm not sure just how long the WiiU is going to be about but I feel safe in knowing that the PS4 has tons of mileage in it.

Sounds like I'm in the same boat as you were. I have a bit of a problem with first person shooters, it's hard to explain really, I just don't like the FP viewpoint, it's always weirded me out quite a bit. Conversely I adored the third person combat in Mass Effect 3. I'm much more of a adventure/platformer/puzzle kind of gamer, hence my love of Nintendo. I guess maybe Uncharted and Tomb Raider would suit. I wish Destiny was getting rave reviews for its RPG/adventuring/storyline, but it seems the only great thing about it is the combat.
Clownferret Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I've always had a Nintendo console accompanied in more recent times by 360 last gen and PS2 before that. I'm toying with the idea of a white PS4 mainly for FIFA and Tiger Woods and Minecraft for my boy. Does Tiger have a release date yet? I can just about justify the purchase for these games and will no doubt get some other games like Alien, F1 and any really good games that are not being released on Wii U, but the PS+ subscription is the deal breaker for me at the moment, i have a real problem paying Sony to use the internet when I already pay BT the equivalent of Greece's national debt for this privelage. Also is Football Manager on PS4?
Magnus Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 You were already paying Microsoft last generation, though?
Eddage Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Does the PS4 use the same PSN ID's as the PS3? Just remembered that I briefly had an account setup up last generation so thinking I can use the same name?
Clownferret Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 You were already paying Microsoft last generation, though? well that's the thing I wasn't. I got a gold subscription when i bought the console, but never renewed it as I didn't really use the console other than for FIFA nights with my mates a few times a year.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Does the PS4 use the same PSN ID's as the PS3? Just remembered that I briefly had an account setup up last generation so thinking I can use the same name? Yeah. If you remember your password and stuff you're good to go.
Happenstance Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 well that's the thing I wasn't. I got a gold subscription when i bought the console, but never renewed it as I didn't really use the console other than for FIFA nights with my mates a few times a year. If you dont want to pay for PS+ then dont. If you want to play online then get it and enjoy the free games that come with it. There isnt much else you can do.
somme Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 As a PS+ member you also get money off selected PS Store games, which are generally pretty good.
Magnus Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Yeah, just don't play online if you're not willing to pay to play online. I don't see the problem. :p
Eddage Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 My PS4 had been dispatched for delivery tomorrow! Amazon also sent me a £10 off voucher for Watch Dogs, which I always going to get at some point. So snapped that up for £23 with free next day Sunday delivery - Amazon you have outdone yourself!

Why did you get a voucher and I didn't? Also, why didn't I remember I already have a £5 voucher for Amazon Mine is arriving todaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. PSN name is ashleytwo! Edit Ooooooooooooor not arriving today because Amazon Logistics are fucking useless dicks. Edited September 20, 2014 by Ashley
bryanee Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) The new Pro Evo demo is sooo good. It feels and plays really nice. Edited September 24, 2014 by bryanee Automerged Doublepost
Babooo Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 The new Pro Evo demo is sooo good. It feels and plays really nice. I prefer the FIFA demo to be fair. It's not perfect but I couldn't get on with PES! Cannot wait for FIFA 15 tomorrow
drahkon Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I prefer the FIFA demo to be fair. It's not perfect but I couldn't get on with PES! Same here. By all means, the PES demo isn't bad, but it feels kinda slow. FIFA 15 may be too fast for some, but I prefer a fast pace. FIFA also has a lot more animations. It just feels better. The Fox Engine is fucking beautiful, though. Edited September 25, 2014 by drahkon
Lens of Truth Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Just got ourselves a PS4! Only have Destiny so far which isn't really my cuppa, but really looking forward to Arkham Knight, Alien and Drive Club. Can you register two user accounts to the same PSN account? Gonna snag Ground Zeroes, Resogun and Flower1080 over the weekend Edit - Wow, just took 20 minutes to load the Playstation Store.. Hope this is just startup gitters!
