Rummy Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I shall do a mass add! And hey hey hey!! I like the look of Knack! It was part of the bundle, and worthless to trade in so I kept it. I will play it though, I thought it looked decent enough for a quick play through? How much was the bundle btw? Just curious as haven't followed prices much since last year.
Aneres11 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 How much was the bundle btw? Just curious as haven't followed prices much since last year. Well the actual bundle was 299.99 which is more than the one I'd eyed up online at 279.99. But the store one had Knack and either Street Fighter or Far Cry Primal. The trade in value of Far Cry and Street Fighter was 26 quid which was was more than Until Dawn (which was in the online bundle with Knack) which was like 9 quid so it was very similar price wise. I just traded Far Cry in straight away as I didn't fancy playing that (yet) and picked up Tearaway (which I'm very keen to play) and the PS Plus subscription. The bundles in Game are no where near as good as the likes of ShopTo, or even other places online, but I had a chunk of reward points to use plus 12.50 on a gift card that I forgot all about til I found it in my wallet, which has helped me out massively.

I won't buy it, but would definitely give it a play on Plus.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Knack is great little game. It get harshly done over by people.
Retro_Link Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 There's so much more potential for Knack though! I think I've mentioned it before but in the sequel they should definitely play around with scale more... e.g... Go into a fight as giant Knack against another hulking robot opponent... but then have to shrink down at some point to little Knack, use cover to evade huge attacks, stealthily make your way around and have to climb up inside the giant through a grate in the back of the foot or something... platform up through the internals of the machine, weaken the enemy, exit through the head, jump down, and then deliver the finishing punch as giant knack etc...
Daft Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Lay off, Knack is shit. Nice art style but horribly basic game.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Lay off, Knack is shit. Nice art style but horribly basic game. Same as the Lego games but I love the hell out of them.
Daft Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I actually prefer Knack to the Lego games. Sadly. Ha! Each to their own. I wanted it to be more like Ratchet & Clank... It's a shame because it's pretty solid. It just doesn't really do anything even remotely remarkable.
Ashley Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 10 Second Ninja X coming to PS4 and Vita. Looking forward to it. One of those games I've been meaning to try for ages.
Aneres11 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I'm all set up now and got everything up and running. The UI is really nice and fast. I couldn't belive the speed of trophies compared to cheevo's on the One. I also liked how when you unlock a trophy it shows a photo of it happening! That's a really nice touch. The share button is also nice an fluid for screen shots etc. Still prefer the One controller, but that niggle aside I'm really happy with it. If anyone wants to add me I'm Aneres11. Added you Rummy and Retro.

drahkon Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Online notifications for friends are great. The PS4 OS is pretty much perfect now/as soon as 3.50 is out of the beta. I disabled all notifications except the online notification for a mate I play CoD Black Ops III with. I've played CoD this morning before work. When I had to leave I put the PS4 into rest mode. Came back home, pushed the PS button on my DS4, 3 seconds later I was ingame, 30 seconds later I was in a match. A couple of minutes pass: I see the online notification for my mate. Invited him to a party, he started the game and 45 seconds later we both were in a match. Everything is so smooth and quick. I love it.
Shorty Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 The slowest thing in the whole OS is when you press "upload" on a video. Gets even slower if you try and start a second upload. Any chance that's been improved?

Any chance that's been improved? Nope. Tested it twice. First video: (time after "upload" has been pressed while having the video selected until you can choose the platform you wish to upload to) 1) 11.9 seconds 2) 13.3 seconds Second video while first one was uploading: 1) 34.5 seconds 2) 37.7 seconds So yeah, about 12 seconds and 36 seconds...
Hero-of-Time Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Just a heads up, I had to delete my whole friends list to get a glitched trophy to pop on Sonic Generations. If you have got a friend request off me, despite being on each other's lists previously, that is why.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 What trophy was that for?! The online ones. Any time to try to access the time trail levels or the 30 second challenge it throws an error up. You have to delete your friends list so the server doesn't have to look for them and then the game works. It's been like that since it launched. 360 version had no such issues but then that version also ran a lot better, as well.
Aneres11 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 So I've had my PS4 / Vita for almost a week now and there's a couple of things I've been pretty chuffed with. I downloaded the PS App and messages app the other day. When I was playing RE: 0 last night, I got a message and didn't want to stop playing and reply from my PS4 (was doing a speed / no save run), so when I encountered a door opening scene (the many you get with RE games ) I was using my phone to check the message and quickly send a reply. Find it to be such a good feature. I believe that the PS app used to let you message directly from that app up until a few weeks ago, when they introduced the messages app - which people on the Play Store were bitching about in the reviews - but I like it! I was playing my Vita on Sunday (remote play from my PS4 which was upstairs), and noticed that the Vita was continuing to tell me when friends come online, even though I was playing my PS4 through it. Really neat little touches. I'm well impressed with the way everything is integrated. And it's nice that you can choose how much, or little you want of that. A guy I sit with in work has a day off for The Division today, so it's pretty cool I can check my phone to see if he's online, and then send a message to ask how he's finding it. With the upcoming remote play from PC / MAC, I couldn't really ask for much more from it at the moment. My gaming time isn't as high as it used to be, but there's a couple of games released a while ago I want to pick up on the cheap which will tide me over nicely for the next few months. Add in the PS Plus games which from what I've read, generally give you some decent play experiences, and my Vita which has its own set of games I'm eyeing up, and I'm set. Now I just want me a Crystal controller.
Shorty Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Messaging in the PS app was absolutely horrendous. I wouldn't say it's great now, slow and delayed and often doesn't refresh properly, but it's certainly far improved since it got its own app.
Daft Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 It's funny because everyone on that stage is on steroids.
drahkon Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Invisible Inc. coming to PS4 on April 19th Could the onslaught of releases please stop? Uncharted 4, Dark Souls III, Alienation, Valkyria Chronicles and now this. And there are other games I have yet to buy... First world problems Edited March 8, 2016 by drahkon
Goafer Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 It's funny because everyone on that stage is on steroids. The guy in the middle is so roided up, he's grown a new set of arms.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Following on from my post about the Alienation release date and Drahkons post about Invisible Inc, here's a trailer for a bunch of PS Store games heading our way very soon. EDIT: A classic game is being revived in April. I used to play the hell out of the original on the Amiga! I will be keeping a close eye on this one...
