@themcnoisy That song should play every time you boot up the PS4. And make it mandatory.

@themcnoisy should be the new Beat Saber track

Been playing God of War. Checked it out from the library. It's pretty good if a bit sad. The mechanics of the axe make me think a really good Thor game could be made.

@AdamantiumClaws have you played any of the original trilogy? I always wonder how it feels to newcomers to the series. I imagine it more than holds its own but has some great nods back to the old games.

@Thrillho I played just a bit of Chains of Olympus. This game felt veeerryyy different from that. But so far the game has been just fine. I feel I missed a little with who the mother was perhaps, but mostly I don't feel confused.

@AdamantiumClaws She doesn’t feature in any of the other games. There’s quite a gap between GoW 3 and the new game which seems purposefully vague and means the new game can easily be played separate from the others.

@Thrillho Oh okay. Part of me thought that might be the case. Glad to know I didn’t miss anything. That was a smart move on the devs part, retaining old fans while gaining new ones.

This gave me a chuckle, and a sigh.

Got a new Dualshock 4 off Amazon, official, sealed and all sorts. Got that fancy lightbar addition on the touchpad.

Doesn't come with a cable though. And unlike most modern controllers, it has no way to sync via Bluetooth, you need a cable to first connect it to your system, and obviously for charging because as we know the DS4 does a lot of that...

I am just...wow. Here's this new controller, good luck using it! XD

@Knuckles-Fajita They gave you a charging cable with the PS4, so you should be alright.

Otherwise, you're free to get one of mine. I got about ten of 'em in the last five years, with all kinds of electronic.

It's a relief DualShocks aren't more expensive, had they decided to pack a cable with every single one of 'em.

@Knuckles-Fajita Also, touch pad button plus PS button, puts it into pairing mode, if I remember correctly.

God, Surviving Mars is so infuriating as a well run, viable colony can turn to ruin so quickly. I think I’ve just hit a point of no return with my latest one and it’s so galling to have to give up on a colony you’ve spent days building up.

The new terraforming effects are really neat though but the extra tech line that it gives means research on everything else is slowed down.

A Plague Tale is pretty good. I'm loving it so far. Currently stuck at a section, it's getting quite hard, I'm not sure how to beat it, but I'll figure it out!

Time to transfer my PS4 over to my Pro! Oh wait, 5GHz Wifi, better turn that off.

Okay now to....28 hours?! What am I using this LAN Cable for?

@Knuckles-Fajita Because Mark Cerny doesn't like you.

@Octane I'm using the LAN Cable because Mark Cerny doesnt like me? So I benefit then? XD

At least I now have a use for my 5GHz connection I suppose. And I mean it is nearly 1TB of data.

So 28 hours is reasonable.

If you could turn any book into a ps4 game what would it be? Off the top of my head I'd like to play "The Kingkiller Chronicles" , although turning it into a video game format would probably make it more of a Walking Simulator type game. Id also like to see the Red Rising series turned into a video game. That game could be an action rpg I would think.

@Elodin mistborn series could be a good one.

@Elodin Does Viz count?

Gotta say, HDr kinda screws with my colour blindness, but it's neat. Trying out Ratchet and Clank now and er...whats going on with the subtitles? There are weird copies of it faintly flickering around where the subtitles are, there seems to be screen tearing and the frame rate is diving like a rock at points. Plus lots of ghosting :/

@Elodin Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.

Oh, wait...

@Knuckles-Fajita Sorry to hear you're having issues with Ratchet & Clank. I'm assuming you're talking about the remake, and not anything via PS Now or a PS2 Classic? Because I don't remember the framerate being terrible at all, quite the opposite.
