Happenstance Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 I need to hurry up and complete Yakuza 0 before Kiwami comes out.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 I'm interested to see how Cities: Skylines is going to play on the PS4. It runs on @Eenuh's MacBook, but it reaaaaaaally works it hard. I want to play more of it, but she obviously needs the MacBook for work and I doubt it'll run on my laptop. There's a ton of expansion packs that got released for it that I want to play, too.

More games to the backlog. I'm really interested in Cities:Skylines. I loved Sim City as a kid.
Tales Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 I'm only interested in Cities, but I'm very excited about it. I do own it on steam, and I have since got a laptop that can run it well I suppose, but I simply prefer console gaming. Pre ordered it yesterday.
Jimbob Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Not a lot in August thenPoor wallet Out of that list, got Sonic Mania and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy ordered.

That's a really small amount! The fact is, it used to be free, it's not particularly fast or reliable, the quality of free games has plummeted instead of going up with the price, and a huge majority of games use P2P connections and only use servers for matchmaking etc. It doesn't really matter if it's not much per week because the price you're quoting is only true when paying for a year lump sum, and it's that amount that matters. And whether or not you in your cushy job can afford it isn't always the issue, what's the 13 year old budding gamer like yourself from [redacted] years ago gonna do when that annual sub rolls around? Fuck anything else. Even at 40 quid a year that's what..£3.33 a month? Even considering the free games(admittedly mixed but you get a few) that's pretty good. Consider the online functionality of the system, gaming and servers(honestly rarely have issues, the most common seem p2p NAT based if anything) and really - as I think you even mentioned otherwise here or elsewhere - with inflation it's still a pretty good service for what it offers. Plus+ I just renewed a year during summer days sale for 30 quid. £2.50 a month. I've played alienation maybe 6-8 hours this past week(free ps+ game) alone in addition to overwatching for probably 10-15. Call that 20 and it's what....12.5p per hours gaming? Probably even less for folks other than me or when I go even harder on a a ps+ title. EDIT: did I fuck my maths and not seperate monthly and weekly? In that event it's actually quarter of the above and closer at about 3-4p an hour. I must admit I've no idea what ms offer these days but the ps+ service does good enough for me. Like almost anyone, all the time, I want things cheaper but really this isn't one to complain about. Ever buy a 40-50quid N64 game as a kid and realise but it's too late? Compare that to PS+ and you're really bloody laughing - especially as a working grown up with money coming in!

N64 games were mostly bought for birthdays or second hand, without a box. I remember buying WWF No Mercy second hand for about £30+ quite a while after release. We've got it much better now in that department. Still, I can see why people are aggrieved by it. It is more money when it comes down to it. Obviously, not as much as the British Gas hike announced today, but it's still money. I hope that the money does get used wisely or we get better games for PS+, etc.

I hope that the money does get used wisely or we get better games for PS+, etc. What i'd like (and i'm not sure if many would agree on this) is if the PS3 part of PS+ ended, which it's likely to seeing as their can't be that many games left to provide for a console that has recently stopped being produced. What i'd like to see is possibly 1 or 2 PS Now games included for PS+ subs per month and/or a big PS4 title and a smaller indie game (i don't complain about the PS4 indie game offerings on PS+, it gave me a chance to play games i'd never have thought about playing before). If the service remains the same, then i can fully understand why people are upset over the increase.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I simply want to know what i'm getting for the extra money they are asking for. I can afford the increase but I would like it to be justified. The speculation is that we may see why the price has been increased once the 5.0 update hits. @Jimbob The problem with PS Now service being added to PS+ is that it's a stream service. Some people may not be able to take advantage of these games because they don't have a strong internet connection. I agree though that the PS3 and the even Vita have pretty much run their course as part of the service.
Tales Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 PS Now isn't even available in all countries, so I don't think they will be added to plus before that changes.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 They could justify the increase by doing what they did with Rocket League, which was to release it on PS+ for free on release. That was an awesome deal for us and the game turned out to be a hit. I got dozens of hours out of that game, if not hundreds. So, releasing the higher quality indie games on there at release. Increasing the quality of the PS4 releases would help. We've just got Until Dawn and we will be having Just Cause 3, so that's both a step in the right direction. Personally, I'd be in favour of integrating PSNow with PS+ and would count that as a huge bonus for me. I know I'm one of the lucky ones where there are tons of games that I haven't played on Now and my connection is good enough to do so.
Jimbob Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 @Hero-of-Time Maybe Sony might allow PS Now games to be downloaded to the PS4, for those whose internet isn't speedy or reliable enough to run the service. I'd have jumped on PS Now if downloads were available of the titles.

The whole purpose of PSNow was because it was too much hassle for Sony to rework the older games to be compatible with the PS4 hardware, hence why there have been older PS2 and PS3 games released as download titles in drips and drabs. PSNow eliminates that as you're just streaming the game for elsewhere, so it doesn't necessarily matter about the hardware that you're using.

If Microsoft can do it with the Xbox One (even though at one point they themselves said it wasn't possible), i'm sure it's possible for Sony to do it with the PS4. Who knows really.

Hero-of-Time Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Quote According to two independent sources, both verified by Kotaku UK, Capcom is porting Okami to PS4 and Xbox One and it will see release this December.The evidence we've seen shows that two different European retail chains have recently added Okami HD to their internal upcoming physical releases calendar. Both retail chains are in different parts of the EU, and both list the game as releasing on 12th December 2017. The detail of the physical release is especially interesting, as the 2012 HD release on PS3 was only available as a download in the west (despite the Japanese boxed release featuring multi-region language support). Capcom may as well be a porting company at this point.

Tales Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) See you are playing the Late Shift @ Hero-of-Time . Played and platinumed it a few weeks ago myself. It has to be the least interactive game I have ever played but I really enjoyed the "game" and the story. Edited August 17, 2017 by Tales

I quite enjoyed the story and while some of the acting was a bit rough, I thought the main guy done a good job, overall. I even got a good chuckle at a couple of scenes. Spoiler I had a good laugh at the little old lady at the auction. Her face when Matt kicked off about how much was being spent was great. 1
