Daft Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 PS4 Party Chat Is Cross Compatible With Vita This is pretty neat.
Cube Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I was expecting it to work - it looked like the same app. The Xbox One's party chat is also cross compatible with the Vita.

Cube Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Looking into it, they haven't talked about it much, but as the limit of 8 is still there (and the Skype limit is 25), I may be wrong about that - still, I don't think there's anything stopping people using skype while in a game on Xbox.

Lets see. I wonder what limitations the PS4 has?
Cube Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Unless they plan on increasing the number on Vita, it's likely to be 8.
S.C.G Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Having 8 people in party chat is more than enough... keep the larger numbers for when in Game Chat.
Choze Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Unless they plan on increasing the number on Vita, it's likely to be 8. That is strangely low. Here are some gifs to crash bad browsers:
obscure Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 For some reason, I seem to be getting caught up in the PS4 hype. However, none of the launch games interest me, and I'm not really into futuristic war type stuff, and FPS shooters bore me to death. I'm hoping there's a drop in the price of the PS3 after this launches though, so I can pick up GTA5.
Choze Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Shadow of the Beast: What trailer are those gifs from? https://mega.co.nz/#!tZZQ2bjQ!BB0R9UEyxQ4_2yUqcjRc5C2V4vUbjM43LYJCqyu5pHQ Still early so expect improvements for November. Edited August 24, 2013 by Choze Automerged Doublepost
Daft Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) And it's free on Plus. BOOOOOOM! Love that the landscape shatters when you use the bomb. Really cannot wait for Killzone, too. The more I see of it...NOM NOM NOM. That little chirp when you kill someone...drool. How Pavlovian. What trailer are those gifs from? Edited August 25, 2013 by Daft Automerged Doublepost
obscure Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 ResoGun? okay, thanks. Just been checking some youtube gameplay footage of it, and it left me more than disappointed though. Sure it has pretty colours and stuff, but the bullet patterns look badly designed, and it sort of seemed boring? I do like bullet hell shooters though, but then again I also like some Gradius.. So I don't know, it just looked not as good as I was hoping after seeing that gif above.
dwarf Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 New Stardust is free? Fuck yes. Really cannot wait for Killzone, too. The more I see of it...NOM NOM NOM. That little chirp when you kill someone...drool. How Pavlovian. Back when I was cool I used that 'bleep' as my text tone. Playing KZ2 whilst in a text conversation made it feel like I was getting mega kill-streaks in the match! But that was only for one day when I got message offers from Vodaphone and Dominoes, it hasn't happened since.
Cube Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Is it me, or do the PS4 exclusives (like Killzone, Resogun, Drive Club and inFamous) just look way more polished in the graphical department than multiplatform and XBO games?
dwarf Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 No. They don't just look superior graphically, but they look superior in every other conceivable way.

To me it looks like Housemarque are putting their spin on Defender and I personally think it looks fantastic. In other news I now have a PS4 preorder in - might not get one in the first batch but should have one shortly after. I'm getting Killzone (all DLC is free) and Drive Club (£20 PSPlus is too good to refuse).

To be fair the developers are pretty experienced now and working well. PS4 is much more straightforward than the PS3. Ryse on the Xbone is pretty nice tech wise. I expect crytek to deliver on visuals. Lets wait and see regarding the biggest 3rd parties(EA, Ubisoft and Activison). Some feel they are going to mess up badly on the tech front. Its ok to be have rough demos right now but launch will be very interesting.
obscure Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Really? think you should have gone to Specsavers. To me it looks like Housemarque are putting their spin on Defender and I personally think it looks fantastic. Graphics look nice, and I'll admit, I've not seen later levels of the game. What I have seen however, doesn't impress. Bullets that shoot straight up, fading away near the top of screen, where all you need to do is stick to the bottom of the screen? Looks like bad design when viewed through my eyes. Then the score system, a combo has a 3 sec limit. So does that mean there will be up to 3 second lulls in anything being on screen? 3 seconds in a huge amount of time in these kind of games, Dodonpachi for example is about half a second, before the combo breaks. If the enemies were set up in a more Ikaruga based way, then maybe a 3 sec limit could work -- but I don't see anything that indicates the level design will be that intricate. It did remind me of Defender, which was a great game in its day. The developer of ResoGun, is saying this is a shooter for the new era though. I see no evidence of that, other than pretty graphics.
Daft Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 It's being made by Housemarque; that is stuff no one needs to worry about. SSHD is one of the purest games ever made.
