@shafedog247 Thanks. I'll probably end up getting it, just ended up picking up Drive Club VR instead, as I keep on looking at Job Simulator and Starblood Arena constantly...haven't picked up neither...just wanted to know if they were worth it, but I'll probably end up picking them up anyway!!!
Honestly, every time I look at the case for Job Simulator, I never end up picking it up. Can anyone tell me if it is worth the price and if it's good enough for the VR?
Back to this game, looks pretty fun, but it depends on the price tag (if it's a $20 game, fine, but more, maybe not). Depends on how much content and replay-ability.
Glad to see the PS4 doing excellent! I'd love to know how the PS2 ended and if the PS4 will go over that before it's done. Also, glad to know the VR is doing well! It's a great system and I'm enjoying it, but I was worried that Sony would give up on it quickly, but now it looks like it's going to stay around for the generation at least! Glad to know that Sony is grand! Congrats! Also, off topic, I'm glad Nintendo is doing well again too! I have both the PS4, VR and Switch and enjoying them greatly...with the PS4 getting more play though.
@Lovespuds Mod Nation Racers was good, but had the same problems...the difficulty later on! Still, would be a nice one if they brought it back (even though it won't probably happen)...still waiting for a new Twisted Metal too. Other than that, the Little Big Planet Karts was kind of the same way...good and family friendly, but became hard later on. PS4 needs a nice kart racing title like Mario Kart. I'd also wish they'd try and bring Playstation All Stars Battle Royale back too, just make it a little more kid-friendly, instead of dark.
Uh, I may have loved the PSP, but I don't think Sony should do another handheld. One thing (and I owned one at launch) that both the PSP and VITA did wrong, was the expensive memory cards. Other than that, they were both fantastic handheld experiences...but, most of the people that own handhelds (and most are kids), want the kiddie games for the younger audiences, older for the older teens, but they also want the games that are quick at saving...not play for hours before you even get a save. In turn, I see more kids playing nintendo's handhelds, and that would be the factor that they'd have to put in mind with...more of the kids-type games, but also cater to the older audience.
But, I own the PS4 and Switch. Switch is alright so far (in my opinion) and it's getting better, but...how it fares within the next few years is the main thing...there's not much shown for the 2018 year yet (I said yet) and most of the E-Shop games are titles that have already been released on the PS4 (good for people that don't own both, bad for the ones who do). Other than that, I'm happy with both purchases...and with having the Playstation VR too, I have 3 nice systems to play and choose (granted my wife is usually always snatching up the Switch). I guess this is a conversation that should happen next year at this time instead.
@SoulsBourne128 I'd even love for them to put some of the PS3 titles on the store, as those games are becoming harder to find! Guess I'm still wishing for a re-release of Dante's Inferno, but I'm really hoping for more PS2 goodies to arrive (Spyro, Klonoa 2) and since they've been putting on some PSP titles too...I'd love to see the 2x Hot Shots Golf's come out on it and some other PSP goodies from 3rd parties too!!! I'd also like Sega to start re-releasing some of their goodies too (Billy Hatcher from the Gamecube era, Sonic Shuffle from Dreamcast, the original Shenmue, Time Stalkers, Evolution 1-2, Skies Of Arcadia, Dragon Riders Chronicles Of Pern and the Phantasy Star Online titles). Hopefully, with 8-bit titles making a small comeback, more will start getting the hint and bring them back into play!
@manu0 At walmart...they had over a dozen copies in the $15 section on black friday! It was priced wrong, but with all the copies they had there, they had to go with the price! I got lucky with a few things like this over the years...Circuit City (when it was still around) had the newest Family Guy season marked at 5.99...the 2 never showed up in any copies they had, so I ended up getting it for 6 before they took them all away!!! Other than that, my luck kind of sucks...I'd wait and wait for a game to go down in price, either it then becomes hard to find, or it never goes down until I actually buy it.
Sounds like a better deal to just add the bundle. Now, maybe they're work on more PS2 re-releases on the PS4, instead of one every few months or so. I'm still waiting for the Grandia titles!!!! Also, gonna be hard to choose between the next Jak games or Loco Roco 2!!!! Too much on their store to choose and retail is getting pretty big too!!!! Just picked up Horizon over the black friday price tag...$15 was well worth it in my books!!!
@Anchorsam_9 Actually saw Hidden Agenda in the stores...I ended up picking up the American Gameshow Games (Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy) instead though. Will definitely have to get it though, as I also passed on the Sing Star Celebration too. Both are on my wish list though!!!!
As my wife and I love playing trivia-party games, I really wish that they'd stay away from APPS type game styles. I'd rather play using controllers, but this is fun and so is That's You...granted both get pretty boring after a few times of playing. Looking forward to a brand new Buzz game in the future (with new Buzzers) or a new Scene it title...or at least some more gameshow type games (have the Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy one, now it's time for some more). What I think would be really fun, is some gameshow-type ones for the VR or have the VR support (Think Price Is Right in VR). Anyways, hoping for some more party games until Nintendo finally releases a decent Mario Party title, and one that comes on Switch!
@WasabiPeanut Some of the great ways (if you get it) is to experience Playstation VR Worlds, Until Dawn Rush Of Blood, Rigs and Farpoint. There's also quite a few freebies on the store side that are fun too. In all honesty, I was very skeptical about it too, with the price being the main factor and if Sony would stick around it for more than a year (ending up like the Move on PS3). It's actually quite worth it. If you have a store like Rentacenter or someplace like that, where you sign a lease to rent it and pay monthly on it, that's the best way to try it...that's how I ended up getting one. That way, if you try it and don't like it, you didn't spend $400 and you just simply return it and get away without purchase price.
Back to the article, I absolutely love the VR. There are some really great games for it, and I'll always have the fond memories of falling down when playing Until Dawn Rush Of Blood. It's truly amazing at how you can look everywhere in the game, and see something at every point, instead of just blackness from nothing. Amazing at how it actually emerges you into the game world! True that the graphics in most of the games could be better, but for the first 'go-around' at VR, Sony did an excellent job! Definitely an investment that was worth it to me!!!
Kingdom Hearts 3 will be out for PS5, being told about being a launch title for it...it will then be delayed several years into that system's life cycle, eventually being released for PS6!!!!
It's still way too early, in my opinion. I know the PS4 is coming up 4 years old, but it's still hitting it's stride, and still didn't get all the IP's that Sony usually releases on their consoles over and over again (not complaining there about their IP's). Other than that, announcing a new console coming, could possibly hurt the PS4's sales too, and VR isn't that old yet. I voted for 2020...kind of a funny year for a system to launch too...by that time, Nintendo will have their next system ready too, and both can launch around the same year. I can hear Sony mentioning a PS5 possibly in E3 in 2019, but up until then, they're not going to want to jeopardize their money market right now, and there's still too much that they can do with the PS4. Also, the PS4 is about just as successful as the PS2, which lasted quite a long time. Sony doesn't just keep their systems out for 5 years, it's mainly longer (Nintendo is the one to do it for basically 5 years). Again, 2019 for an announcement that they're working on a system...2020 possibly for a showing of it and late 2020 (possibly close to October) for a release of it, but still keeping PS4 alive and servers alive until 2022...this just seems a little more accurate, considering that 2-3 years into the PS4's lifecycle, the PS3's servers were still going strong...actually, many are still to this day.
@get2sammyb Rush of Blood was a great title! One of my favorites on the VR!!!! I remember when I went down on the rollercoaster on the second stage, I almost fell down for real! Great experience and shows that a decent carnival-theme-park game would really work on the VR!!!!
With the announcement, I'm excited for the Worms game...at least until I buy the retail disc that's out in stores! Loved all the Worms titles, so I'm excited to delve into this one too! Wish we'd get a new Worms Crazy Golf title too! As for Bound, never played it yet, but it looks interesting! As for the Until Dawn, already own it and if any of you have a VR Head set, it's worth the play through! If you have the Move wands, it's even more fun! Get ready for some roller coaster-carnival-type-horror and carnival shooting action horror!!!!
I still have this game and it's sequel on Wii. Both were fun games, glad it's getting another chance! Can't wait to get this, but I'm hoping it's not more than $20. Would be really great if both of the titles were on one disc! Does anyone know the price or if it's getting a physical release?
I've always wondered about this game, keep on wanting to pick it up, but just afraid it will be like (what I call) awful Surgeon Simulator or the really boring PSP title WTF.
I'm still waiting for a good sports game to come to the VR. Would love a Sports Champions return or even a great Baseball title. My favorite VR titles are still Until Dawn Rush Of Blood, Playstation VR Worlds...basically for the underwater shark cage and Carnival Games VR. Looking forward to some really great ones in the near future, and glad that it's not something that's going to end rather quickly like the Move did!!!!
I gotta admit, I was very skeptical into buying one...the price was high for my taste to delve into something that could end up going down quickly like the Move for PS3 or even Wonderbook, and then I'd be stuck with an expensive headset with only a few titles to play. It was a toss up...Playstation VR or Nintendo Switch...after seeing that the Switch had nothing for me (mario odyssey and that was it), then it came clear to purchase the VR instead, and I haven't looked back. I may have grown up with nintendo, but they seemed to have lost me after the Gamecube era. The VR is incredible...my kids and wife and I have spend countless hours with VR Worlds, and now Carnival Games, Eagle Flight, Until Dawn Rush Of Blood, Farpoint, Ghostbusters and many others are keeping us going!!!! It's a really cool device and in my opinion, even if some games are quick games, who cares...most of those people complaining that the games are short probably have a Wii or Wii U and almost all of those games are quick and short (and I said most, before nintendo fanatics start pestering me). So, case in point, for some who don't think it's worth it, it is!
I may not own the sequel yet...will be my next game to pick up, there was a lot of time spent on the first one!!!! I still replay the first one! But there was no 'real' advertisement for the sequel, it was basically a 'throw it out there' launch for it, and it released too close to other games that were getting more hype and looks. As much as I'd love to see the series move onwards, there's also been many other great games (at least in my opinion they were great) that deserve more love...Dante's Inferno, the Overlord series, Golden Axe, Aero the Acrobat, Bubsy, Chuck Rock, Toe Jam And Earl, Splatterhouse, some more Castlevania...the list can honestly go on...and as far as the platform adventure state, many seem to die before they have a chance...it's taking Crash this long to get a new one in the series, and it seems like ages for Spyro...then there's also a bunch of series that lasted for a few sequels, that just got forgotten about...Ty The Tasmanian Tiger and some other ones. Other than that, I won't put the Knack games down, because I really did enjoy the first one...reminded me of Ratchet And Clank meets a few other notables...and I'm still going to be buying the sequel...just need to get out of my Everybody's Golf spell right now!!!!
Any chance that this sale will come to the US??? Been waiting for some of the VR titles to go down!!! By the way, to some of the people that are wondering if the VR is worth the pennies...yes it is! I was one of the doubtful ones too!!!!
For some reason, and this could have been just mine, it finally added that you can play DVD movies. If this feature has been around, it sure wasn't letting my system...in the past if I put in a DVD and hit play, it would freeze up the system for a few minutes, then a message that says 'unknown disc' would appear. It's finally nice that I can move the PS3 downstairs now, and have the PS4 upstairs...since the PS3 is basically used as a movie player anymore...an expensive movie player with over 200 downloaded games, many themes and more on it!!! Anyways, I'm still waiting for them to add the feature that you can save your home photos and home movies on it, and also, waiting for when you can download the TV Episodes and Movies bought from the store back onto it without having to stream them all the time.
Am I the only one that's actually looking forward to picking up the physical copy of Friday The 13th this 13th??? Actually, I won't be playing it (possible though), but it'll be added to my Freddy and Jason collections which continue to grow more and more throughout my life...even have the original NES games (Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday the 13th) in their original packages still sealed. Actually, there's a lot of great games coming out, and with also owning the Switch, there's even more...but I still have yet to purchase Knack 2...and I'm still playing Everybody's Golf to death right now, so have many games to look forward to within the next few months, with more coming close to the holiday season too.
Honestly, never heard of the game. There's only a few games that are on XBONE that I'd love to see come over to the PS4, but never will...Rare Replay, Zoo Tycoon and Cup Head. Other than that, I haven't really seen much else for the system to even make it worth me purchasing right now, let along, after the PS4 was bought, the VR and now the Switch, it's a 'forget it' now anyways...but in all honesty, glad the XBONE gets some games that are exclusive to the console itself. Not really sure about the sales of the system, but I'm glad it has some good exclusives for it.
This was the version I was actually waiting for, even though I own the game on PS3 and wanted to upgrade anyway. Guess this will be the one I will get anyway, just to have another game for the VR...still playing Robinson The Journey and my second time through Until Dawn Rush Of Blood...and there's also wanting to pick up some other ones after I finally decide to dip into purchasing Move Wands ($100 new for 2 is kinda expensive in my book...glad I can get a used Wand for $30 each).
Loved this and Loco Roco (and the Hot Shots Golf titles) on the PSP...so I'll definitely be a supporter of this one. The only thing that made this difficult to me, was remembering all of the button controls for the music and fighting sequences...but still always keep those songs stuck in my head! Part 2 was definitely better (as was part 2 of Loco Roco), so here's hoping that we get some more PSP Remasters in the future...I could go for: Loco Roco 2, Loco Roco Midnight Carnival, Patapon 2, Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 1-2, Medieval Resurrection, Twisted Metal Black, Ape Escape On The Loose, Daxter, Ratchet And Clank Size Matters, Jak And Daxter Lost Frontier and Buzz master Quiz!!!!
I'd love to see the first 5 Spyro titles to make a comeback...since the Legend Of Spyro, they seemed to get out of hand, sort of like the Crash titles. We all knew this would come, so here's hoping for some good titles to come on the way, and let's hope they don't ruin the Crash series with a bad game!
Well, the US already has the price increase, so welcome aboard for everyone else.
In my honest opinion, it's still not that bad considering what you get out of it...the store discounts are enough for it to be well-worth it (at least to myself), and if you add up (as long as you're one that downloads a lot of games), add up the money you saved, add up the (basically rental costs) of the free games to keep for the months you have it...it's basically worth it considering that you don't have to have it for every online game and Sony is not 'making' you purchase it. However, there will be nintendo-fans that will state that they're only going to be paying 20 for nintendo's service without even considering the difference between the two. (just thought I'd throw that out there, even though I do love nintendo too). Anyways, the price difference isn't that bad considering all of this...it's when they decide to raise it to $100 per year that I'll step away.
Finally! Great to know, and great to hear that I'll be playing this (along with my wife) this holiday! Been waiting for this to finally appear, as I'm not into playing them on the MAC.
It's a shame, but it looks like the VITA is starting to quickly fade out more and more...shame for a great portable system, but with the Switch doing well, I see some kind of similarity for the PS5!!!! PS5 system and VITA 2-type-handheld element!!!! I could go for that!!!
Got to say that I have never been disappointed in their sales since the PS3 era...it was a quick and easy way to build up my library of the indie and 'download only' titles rather quickly, and I even bought some good retail games as download only! My PS3 library of downloads is massive, and the PS4 is already massive as well, and now, as I've already seen the sale items, here comes more to add to my backlog!!!! Sony does it right, now if only nintendo can take the hint and start marking their own 'nintendo-brand' games down more than just 10-15%.
I'm thinking 2020. It's still too early for them to announce a new system, when the PS4 is still in it's stride (and still selling like hot cakes) and the VR is still hard to find in stores. Let's hope that it's not a complete copy off of the Switch, though, when it does come out, but with all rumors about another portable by Sony, it'll probably come down to that (and be a lot better than the Switch in general). Honestly, I don't even want to think about a new Sony console at the moment (as my backlog for PS3 is still big and the PS4's backlog is growing too), but when it comes out, I'll definitely be picking it up!!!!
Well, the game looks pretty good, but that now gives 3 games that I would get an XBONE for them...hmm...still not enough to fork over the money after the problems I've faced with the 360. Oh Well, lots of games coming to PS4 and so many out now with my big backlog of titles to play already...and a Switch coming in October...hmm...what will I ever do? Oh wait, I have a MAC too?!!!
Eh...some of the free-to-play games are just not good. This one was confusing, and I played for hours on end trying to figure it out...but couldn't...didn't even earn one trophy from it. I guess I'll stick with Gems Of War (still going strong), Clicker Heroes and the Fundamentalist game...at least those 3 have me hooked...especially Gems Of War which I find myself always coming to daily!!!!
Sorry to say that I ended up passing on this one due to it reminding me of Pac-man 256 (which I ended up buying instead)...however, it was still in my mind to pick this one up, just too many other games came onto the shop that pushed it back more and more. Still looks fun, but reminded me more of Pac-man...and what is this Hungry Giraffe game about?
Honestly, I watched the preview for this many times a few months ago, and was wanting it from the first time. Since Friday The 13th didn't get the physical release that I was hoping for (just to be able to have the physical copy due to being a Friday fan), I'll definitely be picking this one up as well. It's nice to see this kind of horror-type element in games recently, and I don't care how much it gets used...it's fun, granted you only feel like playing it once. Still though, in a time period when the horror-movie genre seems to be thinning on crappy remakes, revisions and lackluster PG13 rated crap fests, this is a nice way to go!
@Quintumply Can you play this with another person on a couch (I guess it's called Couch-op) or is it all online only?
Honestly, for the price, the game actually looks pretty fun for a party-type game, and since there's not much out in the way of party games for PS4, this is something that my wife and I will probably be interested in...plus, the hungry hippo's stage looks pretty fun.
@KingSimba The only thing with Patapon (and also with the Loco Roco...which I bought day one), is that I wish they would released them on retail format too (granted they were on PSP first). Would be nice for the cover art and possible throwing in some more goodies too! I'm also hoping for Patapon 2 and 3, and Loco Roco 2 and Midnight Carnival to arrive too.
@rjejr I know. Not many racing sims anymore, but it's a tough area for companies to tackle. I'd love to see a new Sega GT, Outrun, Burnout and more, but it's looking slim.
Honestly, I can't wait for Everybody's Golf (have it paid in full on pre-order). I also can't wait for Knack 2, as I was one of the ones who really enjoyed the first one. Gran Truismo, I'll wait until I see some reviews after the game is released...still have Wipeout Collection to keep me busy with that, and now, Crash Bandicoot Trilogy. Too many out right now, coming out and a big back log to play!
Honestly, I was excited for this, as I really enjoyed the first, but with Everybody's Golf soon to come, if I got this one, it would be lost for a year or so until I get bored of Everybody's. However, until another PGA Tour version comes out, or if sega actually re-invents their classics from the Genesis (Pebble Stone) or if Microsoft actually brings back Links (granted I don't own an XBONE), or if Mario Golf finally gets a console release (Granted I don't own a Switch either), I'll definitely bag this game, but will wait until the $20 price range, as I believe this one is going for $40 when released.
And now the internet rumors will fly off the wall!!!! Anyways, glad it won't be for a while now, as I don't feel like forking over more money and the announcement could possibly hurt the PS4 (granted the PS4 is killing all others).
As I'm still in deciding mode, on whether to purchase the VR or a Switch, I'm still leaning more towards the VR...but that price keeps me away. Still though, some interesting games being released on it, and much more than what I've seen (even coming in the later years) for Switch. Maybe, VR would be a better purchase in the long run, but there's still that thought that it will end as fast as the MOVE did, and I don't want to fork over the money and watch it end after 2 years.
Back to the topic, this game looks incredibly fun. Does anyone know if there will be a regular control scheme added later, that you can enjoy without the VR???

Re: Vacation Simulator Takes a Trip to PSVR Next Year
@shafedog247 Thanks. I'll probably end up getting it, just ended up picking up Drive Club VR instead, as I keep on looking at Job Simulator and Starblood Arena constantly...haven't picked up neither...just wanted to know if they were worth it, but I'll probably end up picking them up anyway!!!
Re: Vacation Simulator Takes a Trip to PSVR Next Year
@NathanUC @shafedog247 Is it worth the $20, or one to wait to go down even further?

Re: Jak & Daxter's PS4 Re-Releases Will Delight Trophy Fans
@SoulsBourne128 I'd even love for them to put some of the PS3 titles on the store, as those games are becoming harder to find!

Re: Jak & Daxter's PS4 Re-Releases Will Delight Trophy Fans
@manu0 At walmart...they had over a dozen copies in the $15 section on black friday! It was priced wrong, but with all the copies they had there, they had to go with the price!

Re: Jak & Daxter's PS4 Re-Releases Will Delight Trophy Fans
Sounds like a better deal to just add the bundle. Now, maybe they're work on more PS2 re-releases on the PS4, instead of one every few months or so. I'm still waiting for the Grandia titles!!!! Also, gonna be hard to choose between the next Jak games or Loco Roco 2!!!! Too much on their store to choose and retail is getting pretty big too!!!!

Re: Review: Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier (PS4)

Re: Review: Knowledge Is Power (PS4)
As my wife and I love playing trivia-party games, I really wish that they'd stay away from APPS type game styles.

It's truly amazing at how you can look everywhere in the game, and see something at every point, instead of just blackness from nothing. Amazing at how it actually emerges you into the game world! True that the graphics in most of the games could be better, but for the first 'go-around' at VR, Sony did an excellent job! Definitely an investment that was worth it to me!!!
Re: Poll: What Year Should Sony Launch the PS5?
@playstation1995 It was a joke. But in all honesty, I see it getting delayed again.
Re: Poll: What Year Should Sony Launch the PS5?
Kingdom Hearts 3 will be out for PS5, being told about being a launch title for it...it will then be delayed several years into that system's life cycle, eventually being released for PS6!!!!
Re: Poll: What Year Should Sony Launch the PS5?
It's still way too early, in my opinion. I know the PS4 is coming up 4 years old, but it's still hitting it's stride, and still didn't get all the IP's that Sony usually releases on their consoles over and over again (not complaining there about their IP's). Other than that, announcing a new console coming, could possibly hurt the PS4's sales too, and VR isn't that old yet. I voted for 2020...kind of a funny year for a system to launch too...by that time, Nintendo will have their next system ready too, and both can launch around the same year. I can hear Sony mentioning a PS5 possibly in E3 in 2019, but up until then, they're not going to want to jeopardize their money market right now, and there's still too much that they can do with the PS4. Also, the PS4 is about just as successful as the PS2, which lasted quite a long time. Sony doesn't just keep their systems out for 5 years, it's mainly longer (Nintendo is the one to do it for basically 5 years). Again, 2019 for an announcement that they're working on a system...2020 possibly for a showing of it and late 2020 (possibly close to October) for a release of it, but still keeping PS4 alive and servers alive until 2022...this just seems a little more accurate, considering that 2-3 years into the PS4's lifecycle, the PS3's servers were still going strong...actually, many are still to this day.
Re: November PlayStation Plus Games Announced
@get2sammyb Rush of Blood was a great title! One of my favorites on the VR!!!! I remember when I went down on the rollercoaster on the second stage, I almost fell down for real! Great experience and shows that a decent carnival-theme-park game would really work on the VR!!!!
With the announcement, I'm excited for the Worms game...at least until I buy the retail disc that's out in stores! Loved all the Worms titles, so I'm excited to delve into this one too! Wish we'd get a new Worms Crazy Golf title too! As for Bound, never played it yet, but it looks interesting! As for the Until Dawn, already own it and if any of you have a VR Head set, it's worth the play through! If you have the Move wands, it's even more fun! Get ready for some roller coaster-carnival-type-horror and carnival shooting action horror!!!!
Re: de Blob Paints Up a Storm Next Month on PS4
I still have this game and it's sequel on Wii. Both were fun games, glad it's getting another chance! Can't wait to get this, but I'm hoping it's not more than $20. Would be really great if both of the titles were on one disc! Does anyone know the price or if it's getting a physical release?
Re: Work Never Ends in Job Simulator's Free Infinite Overtime Update
I've always wondered about this game, keep on wanting to pick it up, but just afraid it will be like (what I call) awful Surgeon Simulator or the really boring PSP title WTF.
I'm still waiting for a good sports game to come to the VR. Would love a Sports Champions return or even a great Baseball title. My favorite VR titles are still Until Dawn Rush Of Blood, Playstation VR Worlds...basically for the underwater shark cage and Carnival Games VR. Looking forward to some really great ones in the near future, and glad that it's not something that's going to end rather quickly like the Move did!!!!
Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on PlayStation VR?
I gotta admit, I was very skeptical into buying one...the price was high for my taste to delve into something that could end up going down quickly like the Move for PS3 or even Wonderbook, and then I'd be stuck with an expensive headset with only a few titles to play. It was a toss up...Playstation VR or Nintendo Switch...after seeing that the Switch had nothing for me (mario odyssey and that was it), then it came clear to purchase the VR instead, and I haven't looked back. I may have grown up with nintendo, but they seemed to have lost me after the Gamecube era. The VR is incredible...my kids and wife and I have spend countless hours with VR Worlds, and now Carnival Games, Eagle Flight, Until Dawn Rush Of Blood, Farpoint, Ghostbusters and many others are keeping us going!!!! It's a really cool device and in my opinion, even if some games are quick games, who cares...most of those people complaining that the games are short probably have a Wii or Wii U and almost all of those games are quick and short (and I said most, before nintendo fanatics start pestering me). So, case in point, for some who don't think it's worth it, it is!
Re: Feature: 5 PS4 Firmware Update 5.00 Features You May Not Have Noticed
@Loki7T1 not sure either. But it always froze it before. My luck!!!
Re: Knack 2 Bombed at Apocalyptic Proportions in Japan
I may not own the sequel yet...will be my next game to pick up, there was a lot of time spent on the first one!!!! I still replay the first one! But there was no 'real' advertisement for the sequel, it was basically a 'throw it out there' launch for it, and it released too close to other games that were getting more hype and looks. As much as I'd love to see the series move onwards, there's also been many other great games (at least in my opinion they were great) that deserve more love...Dante's Inferno, the Overlord series, Golden Axe, Aero the Acrobat, Bubsy, Chuck Rock, Toe Jam And Earl, Splatterhouse, some more Castlevania...the list can honestly go on...and as far as the platform adventure state, many seem to die before they have a chance...it's taking Crash this long to get a new one in the series, and it seems like ages for Spyro...then there's also a bunch of series that lasted for a few sequels, that just got forgotten about...Ty The Tasmanian Tiger and some other ones. Other than that, I won't put the Knack games down, because I really did enjoy the first one...reminded me of Ratchet And Clank meets a few other notables...and I'm still going to be buying the sequel...just need to get out of my Everybody's Golf spell right now!!!!
Re: PS4 Exclusives Heavily Discounted in EU PlayStation Store Sale
Any chance that this sale will come to the US??? Been waiting for some of the VR titles to go down!!! By the way, to some of the people that are wondering if the VR is worth the pennies...yes it is! I was one of the doubtful ones too!!!!
Re: Feature: 5 PS4 Firmware Update 5.00 Features You May Not Have Noticed
For some reason, and this could have been just mine, it finally added that you can play DVD movies. If this feature has been around, it sure wasn't letting my system...in the past if I put in a DVD and hit play, it would freeze up the system for a few minutes, then a message that says 'unknown disc' would appear. It's finally nice that I can move the PS3 downstairs now, and have the PS4 upstairs...since the PS3 is basically used as a movie player anymore...an expensive movie player with over 200 downloaded games, many themes and more on it!!! Anyways, I'm still waiting for them to add the feature that you can save your home photos and home movies on it, and also, waiting for when you can download the TV Episodes and Movies bought from the store back onto it without having to stream them all the time.
Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of October 2017
Am I the only one that's actually looking forward to picking up the physical copy of Friday The 13th this 13th??? Actually, I won't be playing it (possible though), but it'll be added to my Freddy and Jason collections which continue to grow more and more throughout my life...even have the original NES games (Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday the 13th) in their original packages still sealed. Actually, there's a lot of great games coming out, and with also owning the Switch, there's even more...but I still have yet to purchase Knack 2...and I'm still playing Everybody's Golf to death right now, so have many games to look forward to within the next few months, with more coming close to the holiday season too.
Re: Microsoft Is Trying to Keep PUBG Off PS4 for Longer
Honestly, never heard of the game. There's only a few games that are on XBONE that I'd love to see come over to the PS4, but never will...Rare Replay, Zoo Tycoon and Cup Head. Other than that, I haven't really seen much else for the system to even make it worth me purchasing right now, let along, after the PS4 was bought, the VR and now the Switch, it's a 'forget it' now anyways...but in all honesty, glad the XBONE gets some games that are exclusive to the console itself. Not really sure about the sales of the system, but I'm glad it has some good exclusives for it.
Re: Hands On: Is Skyrim Any Good with PlayStation VR?
This was the version I was actually waiting for, even though I own the game on PS3 and wanted to upgrade anyway. Guess this will be the one I will get anyway, just to have another game for the VR...still playing Robinson The Journey and my second time through Until Dawn Rush Of Blood...and there's also wanting to pick up some other ones after I finally decide to dip into purchasing Move Wands ($100 new for 2 is kinda expensive in my book...glad I can get a used Wand for $30 each).
Re: Sony to Publish Sound-Based Psychological Horror Stifled
The game doesn't look that good to me...and the voice actor on it...is that Ted from the Bill and Ted movies?????!!!!!! WOAH!!!!!
Re: Review: Patapon Remastered (PS4)
Loved this and Loco Roco (and the Hot Shots Golf titles) on the PSP...so I'll definitely be a supporter of this one. The only thing that made this difficult to me, was remembering all of the button controls for the music and fighting sequences...but still always keep those songs stuck in my head! Part 2 was definitely better (as was part 2 of Loco Roco), so here's hoping that we get some more PSP Remasters in the future...I could go for:
Loco Roco 2, Loco Roco Midnight Carnival, Patapon 2, Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 1-2, Medieval Resurrection, Twisted Metal Black, Ape Escape On The Loose, Daxter, Ratchet And Clank Size Matters, Jak And Daxter Lost Frontier and Buzz master Quiz!!!!
Bring them on Sony!!!!!
Re: Activision Bringing More Classics Back After Crash Bandicoot Exceeds Firm's Wildest Expectations
I'd love to see the first 5 Spyro titles to make a comeback...since the Legend Of Spyro, they seemed to get out of hand, sort of like the Crash titles. We all knew this would come, so here's hoping for some good titles to come on the way, and let's hope they don't ruin the Crash series with a bad game!
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
Well, the US already has the price increase, so welcome aboard for everyone else.
In my honest opinion, it's still not that bad considering what you get out of it...the store discounts are enough for it to be well-worth it (at least to myself), and if you add up (as long as you're one that downloads a lot of games), add up the money you saved, add up the (basically rental costs) of the free games to keep for the months you have it...it's basically worth it considering that you don't have to have it for every online game and Sony is not 'making' you purchase it. However, there will be nintendo-fans that will state that they're only going to be paying 20 for nintendo's service without even considering the difference between the two. (just thought I'd throw that out there, even though I do love nintendo too). Anyways, the price difference isn't that bad considering all of this...it's when they decide to raise it to $100 per year that I'll step away.
Re: The Sims 4 Queues Up Some Tasks on PS4 This Year
Finally! Great to know, and great to hear that I'll be playing this (along with my wife) this holiday! Been waiting for this to finally appear, as I'm not into playing them on the MAC.
Re: Crash Bandicoot's Hardest Ever Level Released As DLC
I don't know if it's just me, but I haven't found the collection MORE HARD as what is being told...it seems to be the same to me,
Re: The Banner Saga Vita Version Cancelled More Than a Year After Its PS4 Debut
It's a shame, but it looks like the VITA is starting to quickly fade out more and more...shame for a great portable system, but with the Switch doing well, I see some kind of similarity for the PS5!!!! PS5 system and VITA 2-type-handheld element!!!! I could go for that!!!
Re: Talking Point: Has Sony Mastered the PlayStation Store Sale?
Got to say that I have never been disappointed in their sales since the PS3 era...it was a quick and easy way to build up my library of the indie and 'download only' titles rather quickly, and I even bought some good retail games as download only! My PS3 library of downloads is massive, and the PS4 is already massive as well, and now, as I've already seen the sale items, here comes more to add to my backlog!!!! Sony does it right, now if only nintendo can take the hint and start marking their own 'nintendo-brand' games down more than just 10-15%.
Re: Talking Point: PS5 Release Date - When Will Sony's Next-Gen Console Launch?
I'm thinking 2020. It's still too early for them to announce a new system, when the PS4 is still in it's stride (and still selling like hot cakes) and the VR is still hard to find in stores. Let's hope that it's not a complete copy off of the Switch, though, when it does come out, but with all rumors about another portable by Sony, it'll probably come down to that (and be a lot better than the Switch in general). Honestly, I don't even want to think about a new Sony console at the moment (as my backlog for PS3 is still big and the PS4's backlog is growing too), but when it comes out, I'll definitely be picking it up!!!!
Re: Xbox Exclusive Cuphead Will Never, Ever Come to PS4
Well, the game looks pretty good, but that now gives 3 games that I would get an XBONE for them...hmm...still not enough to fork over the money after the problems I've faced with the 360. Oh Well, lots of games coming to PS4 and so many out now with my big backlog of titles to play already...and a Switch coming in October...hmm...what will I ever do? Oh wait, I have a MAC too?!!!
Re: The Tomorrow Children's Servers to Shut Down After Just a Year
Eh...some of the free-to-play games are just not good. This one was confusing, and I played for hours on end trying to figure it out...but couldn't...didn't even earn one trophy from it. I guess I'll stick with Gems Of War (still going strong), Clicker Heroes and the Fundamentalist game...at least those 3 have me hooked...especially Gems Of War which I find myself always coming to daily!!!!
Re: Video: Why Aren't You Playing Don't Die Mr Robot?
Sorry to say that I ended up passing on this one due to it reminding me of Pac-man 256 (which I ended up buying instead)...however, it was still in my mind to pick this one up, just too many other games came onto the shop that pushed it back more and more. Still looks fun, but reminded me more of Pac-man...and what is this Hungry Giraffe game about?
Re: Review: Dead by Daylight (PS4)
Honestly, I watched the preview for this many times a few months ago, and was wanting it from the first time. Since Friday The 13th didn't get the physical release that I was hoping for (just to be able to have the physical copy due to being a Friday fan), I'll definitely be picking this one up as well. It's nice to see this kind of horror-type element in games recently, and I don't care how much it gets used...it's fun, granted you only feel like playing it once. Still though, in a time period when the horror-movie genre seems to be thinning on crappy remakes, revisions and lackluster PG13 rated crap fests, this is a nice way to go!
Re: Review: Micro Machines: World Series (PS4)
@Quintumply Can you play this with another person on a couch (I guess it's called Couch-op) or is it all online only?
Honestly, for the price, the game actually looks pretty fun for a party-type game, and since there's not much out in the way of party games for PS4, this is something that my wife and I will probably be interested in...plus, the hungry hippo's stage looks pretty fun.
Re: Sony Foresees a Big Year for Its Japanese Studios
@KingSimba The only thing with Patapon (and also with the Loco Roco...which I bought day one), is that I wish they would released them on retail format too (granted they were on PSP first). Would be nice for the cover art and possible throwing in some more goodies too! I'm also hoping for Patapon 2 and 3, and Loco Roco 2 and Midnight Carnival to arrive too.
Re: Sony Foresees a Big Year for Its Japanese Studios
@rjejr I know. Not many racing sims anymore, but it's a tough area for companies to tackle. I'd love to see a new Sega GT, Outrun, Burnout and more, but it's looking slim.
Re: Sony Foresees a Big Year for Its Japanese Studios
@rjejr Not yet. The last one was for PS3.
Honestly, I can't wait for Everybody's Golf (have it paid in full on pre-order). I also can't wait for Knack 2, as I was one of the ones who really enjoyed the first one. Gran Truismo, I'll wait until I see some reviews after the game is released...still have Wipeout Collection to keep me busy with that, and now, Crash Bandicoot Trilogy. Too many out right now, coming out and a big back log to play!
Re: Review: The Golf Club 2 (PS4)
Honestly, I was excited for this, as I really enjoyed the first, but with Everybody's Golf soon to come, if I got this one, it would be lost for a year or so until I get bored of Everybody's. However, until another PGA Tour version comes out, or if sega actually re-invents their classics from the Genesis (Pebble Stone) or if Microsoft actually brings back Links (granted I don't own an XBONE), or if Mario Golf finally gets a console release (Granted I don't own a Switch either), I'll definitely bag this game, but will wait until the $20 price range, as I believe this one is going for $40 when released.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Most Anticipated Games for the Second Half of the Year?
For me:
Everybody's Golf
Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy
The Golf Club 2
Assassin's Creed Origins
Sonic Mania
Sonic Velocity
God Of War 4
Re: PS5 Is Coming, Sony Confirms
And now the internet rumors will fly off the wall!!!! Anyways, glad it won't be for a while now, as I don't feel like forking over more money and the announcement could possibly hurt the PS4 (granted the PS4 is killing all others).
Re: Hands On: PlayStation VR Platformer Moss Is a Showstopper
As I'm still in deciding mode, on whether to purchase the VR or a Switch, I'm still leaning more towards the VR...but that price keeps me away. Still though, some interesting games being released on it, and much more than what I've seen (even coming in the later years) for Switch. Maybe, VR would be a better purchase in the long run, but there's still that thought that it will end as fast as the MOVE did, and I don't want to fork over the money and watch it end after 2 years.
Back to the topic, this game looks incredibly fun. Does anyone know if there will be a regular control scheme added later, that you can enjoy without the VR???
