Topic: General PlayStation 4 Thread

@Frigate Ah man, that Sekiro PS4 was really sweet looking. Too bad. A Days Gone special edition console could look really nice too.

@RR529 I played through this on PS4 PRO and it looks fantastic, I think the PRO runs it at a higher resolution and super samples back down for a much sharper image. Other games like Skyrim have more visual effects on PRO too and I can certainly tell the difference when going back to early PSVR games. Got to say Astro Bot is probably the best platformer I've played for years too, so much fun and very clever use of the technology available

Blegh... I don't like it when game purchases require a spreadsheet.

@Octane Yeah that does my head in. Not as bad as some other games mind. I always go for the standard version if I can, most of the extra stuff just seems like pointless tatt to me.

A side-mission shouldn’t be locked behind the digital deluxe version of a game. That’s insane and the spread chart is turning me off to the game. Greed greed greed.

@Frigate happened to me too. I had a first run playstation 4. It was always temperamental. Then it started randomly crashing and was virtually unusable if you browse the Web through it. Then it was too much to bear. So I caved and got a pro.

@Jaz007 Yeah, I can understand the season pass being part of it, but a side mission locked off doesn't sound great. I mean, it's only one mission after all, and probably not important. But they really want to make you feel like you're missing out on stuff if you don't buy the most expensive version.

It gets worse for Control. Most of those extras are exclusive to PS4, with the season pass being a timed exclusive. Check out the skinny load of extras you get with the XBO versions.

@Octane It also locks people who it the most expensive physical version out of it too, so it’s been worse for trying to coerce you into buying digital.

I’m having a bit of problem here and hoping someone can help me out. I’ve just set up my PS4 Pro again since I’ve decided to keep it and as I was installing all the games again I noticed I couldn’t install Uncharted 4 Digital Edition, it said it was unavailable as I already own the original release of Uncharted 4 but the thing is I can’t find it anywhere on the PS Store? 🤔

@RogerRoger No I bought the game on the PS Store awhile ago and was playing it just over a month ago before I decided to sell the PS4 Pro. I did a factory reset of the console before I packed it away but I’m still able to re-download all my other games but just not Uncharted 4. I’ve activated it as my primary PS4 and even restored licences but it still says it’s unavailable.

Edit: I’ve sorted it now, I just had to go to the Library tab on the PS Store then to Purchased and all my games I’ve bought was there including the original release of Uncharted 4.

So we’re getting a P5 Warriors game. It’s cool, but I wish they done something more experimental with it and had made their own person action game. Something less tried and true.

Well Atlus has made the Raidou Kuzunoha Devil
Summoner games @Kidfried @Jaz007 which have action based gameplay... They aren't that amazing though...

So... Not that surprised they branched out for this. Plus Atlus is probably busy with the Fantasy RPG that i forgot the name of, SMT V and P5:Royal.

Never played a dynasty warriors game before either... Closest I've got is dead rising 2 and that's only cus of the "huge mob" of enemies...So can't really comment on how omega force could do more.

They seem to do well with other companies properties though like Zelda, Dragon Quest and stuff... So hopefully they'll do it right

Edit - Of course they could've went to Vanillaware for something a bit more unique in 2D... But I have no idea what they're up to with 13 sentinels (Or whatever it's called) being released weirdly and I don't think they'd wanna take on someone else's property

@Trajan Yeah you can charge the controllers with any compatible usb cable and plug.

It might have been only partially charged straight out of the box, then when you first charged it, it was then at max strength.

@Trajan Welcome to the club!
You will soon discover how pathetic and meaningless life was before the PS4!

What games are you starting out with?

My brother and me want to play a co-op game together, not couch co-op as we dont live close to each other. We both have farcry 5 but have never really played. Anyone played it co-op? Is it good?

I'm in a JRPG kinda mood so I just started up Tales of Zestiria this morning (I got it during one of the December or January sales). Not much to say on it yet since I'm just now to the point of getting ready to leave the opening area.

My copy of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory (Mouthful of a name or what?) arrived yesterday after a dispatching error.

Put in six hours (Though that's with breaks as it doesn't stop the timer at all) over yesterday and today and I'm enjoying it.

Probably could've shaved an hour an a half off the time I was actually playing it if I didn't do some grinding ... but it was pretty enjoyable, got like 20 digimon already... I admittedly made all the original ones i remember from the show 😅

The branching paths really are something on all those 'mons i can get though. The fact that they aren't set in stone and I can de-digivolve them and switch it up to a different 'mon (after leveling it back up and meeting certain stat requirements) is nice.

Plus the fact I only have to see them (Or scan them as it says in game) in battle a number of times to fill up a "progress bar" to 100% (They're Digital Monsters after all) to make them (rather then catch them like Pokémon) is interesting too... Have only seen the lowest rank of Digimon enough yet though.

Plus being able to save pretty much anywhere is neat!

Only nitpicks I have so far is the environments in "Eden" are pretty standard cyberspace/internet looking locals with blocks, pixels and stuff (Though for a game that's only 5GB big and was mainly made for VITA it's great) and the Jap only VA (I like my ENG dubs) but... Yeah enjoying it so far!

Thanks @RogerRoger !

Mmm I'm quite enjoying it. Had a pretty tough boss fight last night and almost got wiped out. I'm on chapter 4 now of... 18 I think with 12 hours racked up! 😅

To be honest I'm surprised that Bandai-Namco hasn't tried to put this on the Switch. It's also on Vita and the cel shaded-ness means it looks nice whilst also not being TOO graphically intensive.

They could probably sell a decent number of copies as it does have a more narrative focus to it then the traditional Pokémon games and I always see that wish for a mainline Pokémon to have an actual story to it...

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy It's only available on Vita/PS4, so I'm guessing some sort of exclusivity is involved.

Something called Digimon Survive is coming to the Switch, apparently.

I tried Cyber Sleuth on Vita and wanted to love it. The setting is very cool. I just... don't like Digimon.
