My biggest complaint is that since firmware updated 2.0, my download speed on my PS4 sux! I have fiber optic and before that update I was downloading everything on PSN at 4 MEGA BYTES a second, not 4 mega bits, but 4 MEGA BYTES per sec, and after that update it Yo Yo's from a few kilobytes to the 4MB's, and it ain't my internet, because the fiber connection was "rock solid" before and after that firmware update. In fact everything that doesn't have a "cap" on download speeds, downloads at the 4MB speed.
Sometimes if I pause and un-pause the download while I'm downloading on PSN, I can get it to stick at the 4MB per sec download speed.
I was thinking (at one time) of upgrading my internet to a higher speed of 150 mega bits a second, but whats the point when the PS Network won't let me achieve 36 mega bits!
Plus I think it's at least suspect that they went from showing MB per second "all the time" to MB's a second up until you hit the Gig mark & then the 100th's after the Gig mark (they were showing only tenths before this update). Why?
It's much "easier" to "notice" the download speed with the way it was! Plus "most" people know a 1000MB's = "a Gigabyte.
There are a lot more things I could complain about but this is the big one for me, but when something is only a couple of Mega Bytes big and I see it downloading at a Kilobyte rate it drives me crazy! Especially when I can "pause & un-pause" and get it to my 4MB per second rate! Forget when it's a massive download & I walk away and "forget" to "pause & un-pause" and return to find out that it's only downloaded a couple of MB's!
I've called Sony on this sooooo many times that it's retarded. So I live with it like "jiggling the toilet handle" to get the water to stop, I "pause & un-pause" to get Sony's network to work.
I know games are about gameplay first and graphics second, but man this is one ugly looking game, graphics wise!
I think even if they have all the mechanics down inside the game, they would be better off delaying the game and "seriously" tweaking the graphics, seriously no one is going to want to even kick this "pig"!
Let alone purchase it, in any justifiable numbers. Smart money says delay it.....
Do you think that they'll notice me drinking straight vodka from a glass?
Or maybe it'll be my bloodshot eyes....lol
Seriously how would they vet something like this, and "filter through genuinely" the mass quantity of people that would participate in this "funny gimmicky" promo?
It'll be "most likely" people that just participate by sending a photo of you drinking "something"...lol.
@rjejr - I'm definitely "not" mocking your madness, like I said at the bottom of my reply, I thought it was an "honest question" as well as a "wicked" funny "witticism" and when I read your piece and got to the point where you state-
"What was the original game supposed to be, one of those point-and-click hidden picture games?"
"It caught me off guard" and seriously made me Lmao
Edit: The first part of your piece was so logical and "serious" and when I got to "that line" it hit my funny bone as well as being a "legitimate question".
This section- I don't get KS. He was going to make the entire game for only $2m, but he needs more than that, an extra $3m, to add 1 game play element, and then another $5m to make it open world?
-("What was the original game supposed to be, one of those point-and-click hidden picture games?")-.........can't....breathe............
That was wicked funny as well as a honest question....
@get2sammyb - Lol...yeah it does sound crazy, that's why I put the "emphasis" on "I think" I read....lol.
But you could probably find out "easier than I could" the actual marketing dollars that they spent on that deal with EA.
It's harder for "us" out here trying to "wade" through all the articles filled with "hyperbole"......lol.
Edit:- But what ever they spent, we all know marketing "ain't cheap"....lol. So I am curious what they'll end up spending on that deal with EA...?
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi - If Sony provides all the "advertising & marketing" it'll be most likely in the millions of dollars, "I think" I read that Sony's agreement with EA on promoting the "Star Wars Battlefront" was somewhere around $20 million in market promoting if I'm not mistaken, but that doesn't mean that their going to spend "that amount" on Shenmue 3, but at the "very least" maybe a couple of "mill", or if we're lucky maybe more.
@get2sammyb - Thanks, I've read previously about "Kickstarter" projects, but I wasn't sure if they started out with a "finite" amount of days and then after reaching the original "target goal" if they "extend" the time for "stretch goals" each time they reach them, or stay within the "original time limitation set".
I'm just curious, with a "Kickstarter" like this, What's the time limitation typically before they "cap it" and quit soliciting for funding with the "assumption" that they can't reach that stretch goal of $10 million?
@SuperCat - I totally agree. Black Op's 1 was definitely the best! It had a better ebb and flow as far as the back and forth battles between players on those maps.
I'm not looking forward to this one even though I'll probably at least try it, but I've got a "bad feeling" I'll probably end up getting tired of it and end up returning it like I have with the last several versions since Black Op's 2. I'll end up playing Battlefield until "Battlefront" comes out latter in the year.
I know it "won't happen" but it would be awesome if Activision and Treyarch would do a "Remaster" of "Black Op's 1" for the New consoles. As long as they'd stay true to the original without tampering with the gameplay, it would sell like crazy.
@themcnoisy -I wholeheartedly agree, or at least any era without "jump packs and wall crawling"...lol.
In the futuristic C.O.D's everybody tends to seek the "high ground" and then "it all but destroys" the use of the "lower level", because of said "jump & or boost packs", which in my opinion makes it "more boring" & imbalanced compared to older C.O.D's and than the Battlefield series.
As far as my favorite C.O.D's it would be "Black Ops 1 & 2, then World at War", with other older one's falling behind these.
I'm more of a fan of the Battlefield series, in fact the last two -C.O.D's I returned after playing them for a short while, mainly because I got tired of having to resort to sniping from roof tops with every weapon, because traveling on the ground resulted in myself being snipped from above.
Now that I see that Black Ops 3 is following the same "wall crawling", "roof camping" aspects as last two C.O.D's, I'll most likely pass. I don't think I could stand the obvious imbalanced aspects for a third game in a row. But what really sux is that I had "very high hopes" for this because it was Treyarch's C.O.D! I "personally" think their versions of C.O.D up to this point have been the best. I will try it, but I have a gut feeling that I'll most likely will be returning it just like the last two.
This game looks great for how "far reaching" that their taking it, and I can definitely get behind a developer with that kind of imagination and way of thinking. Who knows what they'll come up with next if there successful with this game!
I'll probably pick this one up.
And for those of you saying it, Who wouldn't love a kick**s "Star Trek" game.....lol.
@stevejcrow -I don't know about where your from mate, but where I'm from if somebody "tries" to use a "witticism" with a "passive aggressive" attitude, its a insult plain and simple, so poking me in the eye and then telling me to be calm, ain't gonna cut it.
The article is factual in that the "influence" that this "(forefront) of new generation of consoles" is real, & affecting "Mid Range" PC Gaming.
Development for software across the "Consoles & PC" are linked sir and do "influence" one another, no matter what kind of juvenile witticism you try and come up with, and the fact that you would "still" try to argue differently shows that your more concerned with "being right", than "whats right", like "selectively parsing" part of the referenced article & printing it on this forum to "make it sound" ludicrous.
But instead you pop off trying to be "witty" and attacking someone unprovoked, instead of trying to "read" the content of the link on the "subject" and "then" refute any points you have that "you think" is not based in fact, that's in the link.
But instead you "directly" insult me, and yet (in your words)- I need to be calm....lol.
Let me ask you something, Does saying stuff like that work in a real life face to face situation, or only on forums and blog sites?
@stevejcrow - Firstly the facts are correct, even if you don't like the site itself as a reference.
Secondly, did I insult you "directly" and if not, why are you being a A-H**E? Your are "exactly" the type of person I was talking about, showing "ignorance" by "not educating yourself on the facts" and stupid for "lashing out" defending an uneducated opinion.
My buddy has been hearing non-stop customers complaining about the "newer requirements" for "some" of the "newer games" that are out for both "Next-gen consoles and PC" and it's usually about the " base video ram requirements for PC" with some complaints about " base Quad Core requirements for PC.
So instead of complaining about my source choice, argue the "facts".
So what "facts" do you want to dispute?
Unless your just trying to troll and start a flame war?
Next time somebody gives you or anybody grief about PC vs. Console, a little bit of facts as it stands "at the moment". (Click on the link above.)
I own a Mid-High level gaming PC as well as my PS4 and other consoles.
I don't know if you've heard the saying:
" Ignorance is the ability to know, but not knowing"
"Stupidity is knowing better, but doing nothing about it anyway".
There's to much ignorance, but waaaay to much stupidity....lol.
My point is facts are facts, yet people still turn a blind eye.
If I were to pick solely on the Video it would be,-Fallout 4, then Star Wars, then-Doom, Then-Horizon, then-FF 7.
If I based it off of what I want right now this moment, then Final Fantasy 7 would slide into the #2 slot, that's because as awesome as it's most likely gonna be, the video didn't have enough length to it, mainly a wicked good teaser!
@carlos82 - That's cool, I don't think you were trying to "intentionally" be aggressive towards me, but other people as well try to "gloss over" points just to move on because they don't want to hear it, which is "passive" aggressive, if somebody doesn't want to talk about a subject anymore then they should just quit engaging the person or subject any further.
But again, we're cool, totally squashed:-)
@LieutenantFatman - I agree with you totally. But I will buy it day one, bugs and all....lol.
At least the graphics looked better than the "pre-announcement" video. The animation as well. But could it look better-(yes), could it stand with a few more frames of animation-(sure), but I've got a good feeling that it's going to be an outstanding game-(Hell yes)!
I loved the PS2 game of Deus EX, but didn't care for the PS3 Deus EX, because I can't stand not having an "option" for aiming down the sights of my weapons! I would take cover with my character and the crosshair would be on the enemy and "sometimes" it would not actually shoot the enemy because it was having "collision problems" with the bullets "interacting" with the "corners" of the walls or objects that I was taking cover behind! A game can have everything going for it, beautiful graphics, great story, cool gadgets, but if the controls are broken it doesn't matter. I was hoping that they would change the "antiquated" stiff arm style aiming system. Guess not, so to my disappointment, I will "not" be buying it, such a shame.
@Eldritch Your right it has a "very slim" chance of catching on, but I don't think Sony's going to risk any liability with people needing to be "handled" while gaming in VR, I'm sure they will recommend "being seated" while using the controller at "all times"....lol.
As far as people being "too self concious" of people "watching them" play with the VR headset on, I don't think it would be that bad "if" the experience is as good as the "hype" says it will be.
But this is with a lot of "if's" and a whole lotta "hype"....lol
I don't mind remastering "some" games, but not a lot, especially at the expense of resources that can be used for creating "new ip's" or popular established games.
It's a good way for them to please the new converts, but at the expense of possibly turning faithful fans away, "if" they over do it.
@carlos82 I don't think I or others are going to lose sleep over Sony not making the PS4 backwards compatible, but them making a statement saying it's often requested but seldom used is a "very" presumptuous statement on their part.
As far as Sony making the "Original" PS3 backwards compatible, they quit making it backwards compatible because it was completely over bloated as far as it's price point.
I don't know what the conversion rate is across the pond, but on this side it was $600.00 US Dollars. They had to "strip" USB ports, Memory Card Slots, I think if I remember correctly it even originally had a "I EEE" port on the back, and of course the PlayStation 2's chip to reduce cost.
"We" the consumer didn't really have a say in weather it was going to "stay" backwards compatible, Sony had to cut costs & took it upon themselves to remove the PS2's chip, along with everything else,so it wasn't because the PS3 owners didn't use the backwards compatibility.
Like I said in an earlier comment, it most likely isn't going to happen with the PS4 but it's good to let Sony know how we feel on the subject & not to make such careless presumptuous statements about what the customer base wants, and then wonder why "we" complain about it.
Also "if" Sony stays smart & sticks with a PC architecture when they come out next-gen with the PS5, they won't have the "excuse" of "it's too difficult to have backwards compatibility", they wouldn't have to emulate anything. It would just be a "Spec'd up PS4" and easily play previous gen games.
God help them if they get too greedy like Microsoft did this generation.
I think backwards compatibility is important because it has a "side effect issue" dealing with ownership of the game's "we all" purchase. As well as when games in the future go fully digital download only.
"We" don't want to keep "possibly" having to pay for games that "we own" to be able to play them again "if we so choose" to play them again.
Look at games that are "Triple A Titles" that we can digitally download now, there still waaaay to "overpriced" for not being a "tangible physical copy", yet some people are still downloading them.
Now jump into the future, where it's "all digital downloading", servers get hacked, can't play our games, servers get hacked- my purchase of a game no longer exists,( my friend lost a movie purchase from Sony this way already and he didn't have a electronic backup record of the purchase) but the biggest problem was "they didn't either".
Plus another problem is that until the different "court's across the globe" agree to the limitations of (Electronic "EULA") agreements, we're pretty much "all" screwed.
We won't necessarily even own what we purchase "digitally" , we're just under their good graces right now, because "all the software companies" want us to "feel confident" about the digital future, it's in "their best interest"!
Mark my words, until "we" establish what "digital ownership" is in our court systems across the globe, we "don't want a fully digital future"!
Does anybody here want to only be able to "rent" a game hourly, sounds drastic right? It's not.
That's not the future I want.......so everything I purchase, I want to be able to play or "not play" my choice, that includes an option to not have to plug in my old console & have my "New console" play my old games. The " more options" I have to play my games the better.
Again my point isn't that Sony should make it backwards compatible (it would be nice though) my point is it's an insult to anyone's intelligence to make a statement that "it's often requested but not greatly used", yet the company has invested 380 million+ in backwards compatible streaming.
It would be hard to emulate (but not 380 million+ hard) the cell's processor & programming, but doable. Sony won't have that excuse next-gen with the PS5 to PS4 backwards compatibility. Both will be completely straight forward PC programming using OPEN GL. It'll be like buying a new spec'd up PC with a better graphics card, then just playing your old under spec'd games on it. No excuses there.
Nothing wrong with a pay for streaming service as long as it's fairly priced. There ain't nothing fairly priced "in my opinion" on PlayStation Now. In my opinion, "maybe" Sony's basing the "rarely used backwards compatibility" off of people " not using" their over priced service.
As far as all of us streaming our games in the future, I would hate to be in that "staring contest" between Sony and Microsoft, waiting to see who blinks first!
Ain't no way that's happening any time in the not to distant future....lol. It does make me wonder who'll blink first though?
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Then why make "PlayStation Now", I don't buy the simple comment that they created it for "only" the people that "didn't" own a PS3 or previous consoles, I know you didn't say that "literally" but that's the only explanation that's left, that your touching on and that's insane, 380 million dollars insane. So if it's not solely for that, then they are BS'ing...plain and simple.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Having the PS4 backwards compatible isn't any kind of deal breaker, what is a deal breaker is "BS'ing" your customer base about it not being used that much after building a streaming service based on that very thing.
As far as them being a business and needing to make money, I'm afraid of generic statements like that, and Microsoft and the software companies found out from the masses, when used games were going to go the way of the dinosaur.
The point is there is still a morality to making that "company money" that people will and "will not" accept and lying to the public to make it ain't one of them. Again it's not the deal breaker, but lying is, as far as I'm concerned.
@Johnnycide I totally agree with both of those points!
I think unlimited access for a "reasonable" monthly fee would be awesome and Netflix is the perfect example of reasonable.
I think emulating wouldn't be easy for them but they can do it, and with their resources, it'd probably be easier than we think.
I still think it's ridiculous that they haven't done it with the Vita and all the PSP games.........as far as a way for "previously purchased" PSP games to be played by being converted to digital content without repurchase, and a much cheaper price structure for the existing PSP digital content thats been out for a 100 years.
I've always been pro competition, the harder they compete, the better it is for us all, but the only real chink in Sony's armor is it's pricing structure across the board with it's "Digital Content".
It's always totally overpriced. PSP titles that have been out a billion years are overpriced, yet they wonder how they could make owning a Vita a better experience?
Microsoft's XBOX ONE now going backwards compatibile, there's plenty more Sony could do. It's a matter of if......
@rockman29 You points are spot on, brother. I had to say that...lol. So many people on forums think that if you don't agree with their opinion that your flaming them, and that's definitely not the case here, I too play PC games and Console games and you so elegantly presented the actual facts in your discussion, that I literally felt like I could not have said them any better.
@get2sammyb I am very afraid of them doing a demo on stage with Morpheus, but you know it's gotta happen. I can't think of any other way they would show case it. It's going to be some guy off to the left or right of the stage, while someone narrates what we're watching on the big screen. Or worse the guy wearing the VR headgear will give his own narrative while playing.......scaaaaary....Ubisoft might not be the only one flubbing up on stage.....
Ain't no way anybody should compare a "play tester" completing a game to an "average gamers" game completion time! Last time I checked, I wasn't looking for "collision detection" problems, or glitches while I played a game ( but evidently have to live with'em in the finished game all to often) but that's what they get paid to do. The comparison is crazy......70hrs.....most likely not even close, even to 100%.
I think Sony's Expo will be good, a solid "B" rating. -(Just a blind guess)
I'm leaving room for some " shock value" because you never know, but having said that, in all seriousness I think it'll be a decent showing, even with "Project Morpheus" probably taking up a good portion of the show.
I'm a glass is "half full" kinda guy, but I'm sure after the showing at E3 I'll be asking "where the other half went", because no showing is going to be absolutely perfect.
I was telling my buddy the same thing about it not being to exciting watching someone else on stage playing a VR game, that's even with them projecting the game on a giant screen at the same time. I also told him that Sony was going to have to put "Demo Kiosks" in his store -(Game Stop) when Sony actually starts trying to sell them, otherwise it's probably going to go the way of the dinosaur...lol. After all seeing is believing, and that's what it's going to take to push these VR headsets. If the VR headsets are comfortable and put together well, and produce the immersive experience that there supposed to do, then price won't be "as much" a factor as long as it's the complete package that there most likely going to promise us. But like I said before, we (the consumer) are the one's that need to demo it, not just the guy on the stage at Sony's Expo.
@get2sammyb Thanks, I saw that my PS4 had an update for Resogun a couple of days ago and it was a 800+ MB update and I wondered what it was for, I have the season pass for it, so I'm assuming it (maybe) has something to do with this wipeout pack becoming available. Thanks again for the info!
My buddy is the Store Manager of a Game Stop over here in the U.S and he is still selling plenty of PS4's, but the Splatoon game for the Wii U is selling like crazy, but the weird part is that the Wii U console itself isn't. But people who already own a Wii U are going nutz for it, my buddy said he wished that it wasn't exclusively a Wii U game, because he would buy it in a heartbeat. He says it's a fun addictive game.
Just like everyone else I want to have my cake and eat it too, but just like everybody else already knows gameplay first graphics second.
It's not the resolution, it looks fine, it's the textures and poly count that makes it look last gen, but by no means even remotely a deal breaker. Otherwise it's a fine looking game that I can't wait to play.
As far as the animation and frame rate goes, I think in the demo trailer it looks fine, from the curtains being gently blown by the wind to the movements of the German Shepherd's slight bending of it's ankles as it's walking, to when it nudges the rocket mobile over the crib, all while it's opening and closing it's mouth and panting with occasional realistic tongue movements at the same time.
I think what throws people off on the animation is the poly count is low on the German Shepherd and it makes the dog a little "chunky" so they think it doesn't look fluid enough and the textures are flat like last gen graphics.
But again to me it's the poly count and the flat painted on textures that say "last gen" game that "maybe" make it a converted next-gen game.
But other than nit picking it, it's beautiful enough, not even remotely hideous visually and I'll definitely be pre-ordering it.
I hope they surprise all of us with a pre holiday release!
Like I said in a comment previously in another section, this could have been originally a last generation game that they had already put a ton of development time in on and just converted it over to current gen, hence all of us getting a release of the game earlier than expected compared to a ground up version designed for the next gen consoles and then a much later release of the game instead.
I'll gladly take a coverted version with early release over a completely revamped current gen version "if" that is the case, that would've been released at a much later date. I've waited to long for the 4th Sequel to wait any longer, (as clearly as most of us seem to feel). Bring it on, the sooner the better!
@Crimson_Ridley: Actually after watching the vid of it a couple times I think the animation was smooth, even on the dog, visually the graphics are good (no complaints here) but definitely not "next gen graphics". Like someone else said this could have originally been a "last gen game" that was swapped over to "current gen".
Which if true we could all be lucky and get the game sooner than we think!
I can't wait to play it! " Fallout 3" was way better than "New Vegas" especially waaaay less buggy than New Vegas which was a total mess. I still liked New Vegas but not nearly as much as far as the storyline compared to "Fallout 3". Hopefully "Fallout 4" won't have the same buggy issues that "New Vegas" had. But it does look like they captured the better atmospheric feel like they did before in "Fallout" 3. I can't wait to preoder it and play!
I personally think Titan Fall looks awesome, and I can't wait for it to eventually hit the PS4! It will most likely have exclusively added content and it will "definitely" look better and run a smoother frame rate than on the Xbox180. With this generation of consoles Sony is easily going to have the jump on the Xbox180 as far as the installed base on systems. That coupled with the Mandatory PlayStation+ subscription for online multiplayer which I'm already a member of, Sony is going to have the money to bid on larger AAA exclusives. Hell the figures that I've seen on the amount that Sony takes in on PlayStation+ now annually (without it being mandatory) vs when it will be on PS4, 200 something million annually jumps to 1.2 billion! Thats roughly a billion more in annual income a year that Sony didn't have before! Also add the fact that games are easier and cheaper to develop for than the PS3, Sony's going to have a lot of extra dough to throw around that they didn't have with this current gen! Microsoft will have to pony up more money for exclusives this next gen to pay for the larger install base of the PS4, while Sony will have to bid less for Microsofts smaller install base, while still having more revenue from the aforementioned PlayStation+ and reduced development costs! Sony's definitely going to hammer it home this next generation! I definitely think the PS4 will end up with not just small Indie exclusives but a lot more AAA blockbuster exclusives. The only way I see Sony screwing up is if they do it to themselves, it's theirs to lose.
@Visiblemode Hey brother your trying too hard, I'm not trying to start a "flame war". Your trying to make an argument about something I'm not. What your saying about entertainment dollars is ("true") and I'm perfectly aware of that, but I was trying to illustrate that the "way" your applying your argument is( to use the old saying) it's still " apples(example games) to oranges(movies)" and now your trying to get me to argue that there both fruit(entertainment)! I know they are! But one's still an apple(games) and one's still an Orange(movies). Refine your argument(games only) and quit being so broad with it (entertainment). Then you'll see. Because you'll never convince me an apple(games) is an Orange(movies), but like I said you wanna argue fruit(entertainment). And if you can't understand my angle of the argument then you right, your not gonna understand and you shouldn't reply back. After all your the one who made a comment on my opinion first. No body's trying to upset you brother, it's just a civil conversation. Logic not emotions.
(P.S) "Most" people(consumers) aren't corporate board members sitting down discussing statistical differences and demographics of their entertainment divisions and breaking down their entertainment statistics to see how which one is affecting the other. Like game reviewers for this site and other notable sites not to mention gaming magazines, I'm comparing (gaming dollar to gaming dollar) and 2 heavily established juggernauts of the F.P.S genre where most people don't even play the (campaign mode) they mainly buy it for multiplayer, and like this site has reported Guerrilla Games wants a piece of there pie and I said this go around with Killzone ShadowFall that since their not as popular that they should not follow their typical model of "campaign mode" but hege their bets and increase it to more than a short 10+ hours for the cost of the game at $65. Then your the one who gets all hostile when you responded to the fact that I don't agree about comparing 2 completely ( different entertainment) element comparisons and called me quote " dead wrong" and got your dander up an tried to get all analytical showing me how big your brain pan is! You need to try emailing or posting or writing "Game Reviewers" and ask why they don't compare "Movies" or " Music" to "Games directly" and since you get tied up in minutia, the answer is "Games to Games", Movies to Movies", "Music to Music". We aren't corporate number crunchers just impulsive consumers. Here's another adage for you-( You can't see the forest for the trees) or in your case I'm pointing at a tree and you wanta talk about the forest and how it's the same because their also made of wood. Quit telling people how they are and focus on yourself. And I bet I'm not dead wrong. Sheesh why so angry...

Re: PS4 Players Are Demanding a Better PSN
My biggest complaint is that since firmware updated 2.0, my download speed on my PS4 sux!
I have fiber optic and before that update I was downloading everything on PSN at 4 MEGA BYTES a second, not 4 mega bits, but 4 MEGA BYTES per sec, and after that update it Yo Yo's from a few kilobytes to the 4MB's, and it ain't my internet, because the fiber connection was "rock solid" before and after that firmware update. In fact everything that doesn't have a "cap" on download speeds, downloads at the 4MB speed.
Sometimes if I pause and un-pause the download while I'm downloading on PSN, I can get it to stick at the 4MB per sec download speed.
I was thinking (at one time) of upgrading my internet to a higher speed of 150 mega bits a second, but whats the point when the PS Network won't let me achieve 36 mega bits!
Plus I think it's at least suspect that they went from showing MB per second "all the time" to MB's a second up until you hit the Gig mark & then the 100th's after the Gig mark (they were showing only tenths before this update). Why?
It's much "easier" to "notice" the download speed with the way it was! Plus "most" people know a 1000MB's = "a Gigabyte.
There are a lot more things I could complain about but this is the big one for me, but when something is only a couple of Mega Bytes big and I see it downloading at a Kilobyte rate it drives me crazy! Especially when I can "pause & un-pause" and get it to my 4MB per second rate!
Forget when it's a massive download & I walk away and "forget" to "pause & un-pause" and return to find out that it's only downloaded a couple of MB's!
I've called Sony on this sooooo many times that it's retarded.
So I live with it like "jiggling the toilet handle" to get the water to stop, I "pause & un-pause" to get Sony's network to work.

Let alone purchase it, in any justifiable numbers. Smart money says delay it.....

Re: Shenmue III Targets $10 Million as Funding Is Clarified
@rjejr - I'm definitely "not" mocking your madness, like I said at the bottom of my reply, I thought it was an "honest question" as well as a "wicked" funny "witticism" and when I read your piece and got to the point where you state-
"What was the original game supposed to be, one of those point-and-click hidden picture games?"
"It caught me off guard" and seriously made me Lmao
Edit: The first part of your piece was so logical and "serious" and when I got to "that line" it hit my funny bone as well as being a "legitimate question".

Re: Shenmue III Targets $10 Million as Funding Is Clarified
@get2sammyb - Lol...yeah it does sound crazy, that's why I put the "emphasis" on "I think" I read....lol.
But you could probably find out "easier than I could" the actual marketing dollars that they spent on that deal with EA.
It's harder for "us" out here trying to "wade" through all the articles filled with "hyperbole"......lol.
Edit:- But what ever they spent, we all know marketing "ain't cheap"....lol. So I am curious what they'll end up spending on that deal with EA...?
Re: Shenmue III Targets $10 Million as Funding Is Clarified
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi - If Sony provides all the "advertising & marketing" it'll be most likely in the millions of dollars, "I think" I read that Sony's agreement with EA on promoting the "Star Wars Battlefront" was somewhere around $20 million in market promoting if I'm not mistaken, but that doesn't mean that their going to spend "that amount" on Shenmue 3, but at the "very least" maybe a couple of "mill", or if we're lucky maybe more.
Re: Shenmue III Targets $10 Million as Funding Is Clarified
@get2sammyb - Thanks, I've read previously about "Kickstarter" projects, but I wasn't sure if they started out with a "finite" amount of days and then after reaching the original "target goal" if they "extend" the time for "stretch goals" each time they reach them, or stay within the "original time limitation set".
Re: Shenmue III Targets $10 Million as Funding Is Clarified
I'm just curious, with a "Kickstarter" like this, What's the time limitation typically before they "cap it" and quit soliciting for funding with the "assumption" that they can't reach that stretch goal of $10 million?
Re: Sony 'Really Wanted' That Call of Duty: Black Ops III Deal with Activision
@SuperCat - I totally agree. Black Op's 1 was definitely the best! It had a better ebb and flow as far as the back and forth battles between players on those maps.
I'm not looking forward to this one even though I'll probably at least try it, but I've got a "bad feeling" I'll probably end up getting tired of it and end up returning it like I have with the last several versions since Black Op's 2. I'll end up playing Battlefield until "Battlefront" comes out latter in the year.
I know it "won't happen" but it would be awesome if Activision and Treyarch would do a "Remaster" of "Black Op's 1" for the New consoles. As long as they'd stay true to the original without tampering with the gameplay, it would sell like crazy.
Re: Sony 'Really Wanted' That Call of Duty: Black Ops III Deal with Activision
@themcnoisy -I wholeheartedly agree, or at least any era without "jump packs and wall crawling"...lol.
In the futuristic C.O.D's everybody tends to seek the "high ground" and then "it all but destroys" the use of the "lower level", because of said "jump & or boost packs", which in my opinion makes it "more boring" & imbalanced compared to older C.O.D's and than the Battlefield series.
As far as my favorite C.O.D's it would be "Black Ops 1 & 2, then World at War", with other older one's falling behind these.
Re: Sony 'Really Wanted' That Call of Duty: Black Ops III Deal with Activision
I'm more of a fan of the Battlefield series, in fact the last two -C.O.D's I returned after playing them for a short while, mainly because I got tired of having to resort to sniping from roof tops with every weapon, because traveling on the ground resulted in myself being snipped from above.
Now that I see that Black Ops 3 is following the same "wall crawling", "roof camping" aspects as last two C.O.D's, I'll most likely pass.
I don't think I could stand the obvious imbalanced aspects for a third game in a row.
But what really sux is that I had "very high hopes" for this because it was Treyarch's C.O.D! I "personally" think their versions of C.O.D up to this point have been the best.
I will try it, but I have a gut feeling that I'll most likely will be returning it just like the last two.

Re: Feature: Push Square's E3 2015 Game of the Show - Horizon: Zero Dawn
@stevejcrow -I don't know about where your from mate, but where I'm from if somebody "tries" to use a "witticism" with a "passive aggressive" attitude, its a insult plain and simple, so poking me in the eye and then telling me to be calm, ain't gonna cut it.
The article is factual in that the "influence" that this "(forefront) of new generation of consoles" is real, & affecting "Mid Range" PC Gaming.
Development for software across the "Consoles & PC" are linked sir and do "influence" one another, no matter what kind of juvenile witticism you try and come up with, and the fact that you would "still" try to argue differently shows that your more concerned with "being right", than "whats right", like "selectively parsing" part of the referenced article & printing it on this forum to "make it sound" ludicrous.
But instead you pop off trying to be "witty" and attacking someone unprovoked, instead of trying to "read" the content of the link on the "subject" and "then" refute any points you have that "you think" is not based in fact, that's in the link.
But instead you "directly" insult me, and yet (in your words)- I need to be calm....lol.
Let me ask you something, Does saying stuff like that work in a real life face to face situation, or only on forums and blog sites?
Re: Feature: Push Square's E3 2015 Game of the Show - Horizon: Zero Dawn
@stevejcrow - Firstly the facts are correct, even if you don't like the site itself as a reference.
Secondly, did I insult you "directly" and if not, why are you being a A-H**E? Your are "exactly" the type of person I was talking about, showing "ignorance" by "not educating yourself on the facts" and stupid for "lashing out" defending an uneducated opinion.
My buddy has been hearing non-stop customers complaining about the "newer requirements" for "some" of the "newer games" that are out for both "Next-gen consoles and PC" and it's usually about the " base video ram requirements for PC" with some complaints about " base Quad Core requirements for PC.
So instead of complaining about my source choice, argue the "facts".
So what "facts" do you want to dispute?
Unless your just trying to troll and start a flame war?

I own a Mid-High level gaming PC as well as my PS4 and other consoles.

"Stupidity is knowing better, but doing nothing about it anyway".
There's to much ignorance, but waaaay to much stupidity....lol.

I loved the PS2 game of Deus EX, but didn't care for the PS3 Deus EX, because I can't stand not having an "option" for aiming down the sights of my weapons!
I would take cover with my character and the crosshair would be on the enemy and "sometimes" it would not actually shoot the enemy because it was having "collision problems" with the bullets "interacting" with the "corners" of the walls or objects that I was taking cover behind!
A game can have everything going for it, beautiful graphics, great story, cool gadgets, but if the controls are broken it doesn't matter.
I was hoping that they would change the "antiquated" stiff arm style aiming system. Guess not, so to my disappointment, I will "not" be buying it, such a shame.

As far as people being "too self concious" of people "watching them" play with the VR headset on, I don't think it would be that bad "if" the experience is as good as the "hype" says it will be.

Re: Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
@carlos82 I don't think I or others are going to lose sleep over Sony not making the PS4 backwards compatible, but them making a statement saying it's often requested but seldom used is a "very" presumptuous statement on their part.
As far as Sony making the "Original" PS3 backwards compatible, they quit making it backwards compatible because it was completely over bloated as far as it's price point.
I don't know what the conversion rate is across the pond, but on this side it was $600.00 US Dollars. They had to "strip" USB ports, Memory Card Slots, I think if I remember correctly it even originally had a "I EEE" port on the back, and of course the PlayStation 2's chip to reduce cost.
"We" the consumer didn't really have a say in weather it was going to "stay" backwards compatible, Sony had to cut costs & took it upon themselves to remove the PS2's chip, along with everything else,so it wasn't because the PS3 owners didn't use the backwards compatibility.
Like I said in an earlier comment, it most likely isn't going to happen with the PS4 but it's good to let Sony know how we feel on the subject & not to make such careless presumptuous statements about what the customer base wants, and then wonder why "we" complain about it.
Also "if" Sony stays smart & sticks with a PC architecture when they come out next-gen with the PS5, they won't have the "excuse" of "it's too difficult to have backwards compatibility", they wouldn't have to emulate anything. It would just be a "Spec'd up PS4" and easily play previous gen games.
God help them if they get too greedy like Microsoft did this generation.
Re: Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
I think backwards compatibility is important because it has a "side effect issue" dealing with ownership of the game's "we all" purchase. As well as when games in the future go fully digital download only.
"We" don't want to keep "possibly" having to pay for games that "we own" to be able to play them again "if we so choose" to play them again.
Look at games that are "Triple A Titles" that we can digitally download now, there still waaaay to "overpriced" for not being a "tangible physical copy", yet some people are still downloading them.
Now jump into the future, where it's "all digital downloading", servers get hacked, can't play our games, servers get hacked- my purchase of a game no longer exists,( my friend lost a movie purchase from Sony this way already and he didn't have a electronic backup record of the purchase) but the biggest problem was "they didn't either".
Plus another problem is that until the different "court's across the globe" agree to the limitations of (Electronic "EULA") agreements, we're pretty much "all" screwed.
We won't necessarily even own what we purchase "digitally" , we're just under their good graces right now, because "all the software companies" want us to "feel confident" about the digital future, it's in "their best interest"!
Mark my words, until "we" establish what "digital ownership" is in our court systems across the globe, we "don't want a fully digital future"!
Does anybody here want to only be able to "rent" a game hourly, sounds drastic right? It's not.
That's not the future I want.......so everything I purchase, I want to be able to play or "not play" my choice, that includes an option to not have to plug in my old console & have my "New console" play my old games. The " more options" I have to play my games the better.
Re: E3 2015: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Looks Crap

Re: Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
Again my point isn't that Sony should make it backwards compatible (it would be nice though) my point is it's an insult to anyone's intelligence to make a statement that "it's often requested but not greatly used", yet the company has invested 380 million+ in backwards compatible streaming.
It would be hard to emulate (but not 380 million+ hard) the cell's processor & programming, but doable. Sony won't have that excuse next-gen with the PS5 to PS4 backwards compatibility. Both will be completely straight forward PC programming using OPEN GL. It'll be like buying a new spec'd up PC with a better graphics card, then just playing your old under spec'd games on it. No excuses there.
Nothing wrong with a pay for streaming service as long as it's fairly priced. There ain't nothing fairly priced "in my opinion" on PlayStation Now. In my opinion, "maybe" Sony's basing the "rarely used backwards compatibility" off of people " not using" their over priced service.
As far as all of us streaming our games in the future, I would hate to be in that "staring contest" between Sony and Microsoft, waiting to see who blinks first!
Ain't no way that's happening any time in the not to distant future....lol. It does make me wonder who'll blink first though?
Re: Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Then why make "PlayStation Now", I don't buy the simple comment that they created it for "only" the people that "didn't" own a PS3 or previous consoles, I know you didn't say that "literally" but that's the only explanation that's left, that your touching on and that's insane, 380 million dollars insane. So if it's not solely for that, then they are BS'ing...plain and simple.
Re: Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Having the PS4 backwards compatible isn't any kind of deal breaker, what is a deal breaker is "BS'ing" your customer base about it not being used that much after building a streaming service based on that very thing.
As far as them being a business and needing to make money, I'm afraid of generic statements like that, and Microsoft and the software companies found out from the masses, when used games were going to go the way of the dinosaur.
The point is there is still a morality to making that "company money" that people will and "will not" accept and lying to the public to make it ain't one of them. Again it's not the deal breaker, but lying is, as far as I'm concerned.
Re: Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
@Johnnycide I totally agree with both of those points!
I think unlimited access for a "reasonable" monthly fee would be awesome and Netflix is the perfect example of reasonable.
I think emulating wouldn't be easy for them but they can do it, and with their resources, it'd probably be easier than we think.
I still think it's ridiculous that they haven't done it with the Vita and all the PSP games.........as far as a way for "previously purchased" PSP games to be played by being converted to digital content without repurchase, and a much cheaper price structure for the existing PSP digital content thats been out for a 100 years.
Re: Reaction: Sony Proves That PS4's Got a Stranglehold on Consoles at E3 2015
I've always been pro competition, the harder they compete, the better it is for us all, but the only real chink in Sony's armor is it's pricing structure across the board with it's "Digital Content".
It's always totally overpriced. PSP titles that have been out a billion years are overpriced, yet they wonder how they could make owning a Vita a better experience?
Microsoft's XBOX ONE now going backwards compatibile, there's plenty more Sony could do. It's a matter of if......

The comparison is crazy......70hrs.....most likely not even close, even to 100%.
Re: Feature: What Will Sony Announce at E3 2015? PS4 Predictions and More
I think Sony's Expo will be good, a solid "B" rating. -(Just a blind guess)
I'm leaving room for some " shock value" because you never know, but having said that, in all seriousness I think it'll be a decent showing, even with "Project Morpheus" probably taking up a good portion of the show.
I'm a glass is "half full" kinda guy, but I'm sure after the showing at E3 I'll be asking "where the other half went", because no showing is going to be absolutely perfect.

Re: Rumour: Around Half of Sony's E3 Booth Will Be Devoted to PS4's VR Push
I was telling my buddy the same thing about it not being to exciting watching someone else on stage playing a VR game, that's even with them projecting the game on a giant screen at the same time.
I also told him that Sony was going to have to put "Demo Kiosks" in his store -(Game Stop) when Sony actually starts trying to sell them, otherwise it's probably going to go the way of the dinosaur...lol.
After all seeing is believing, and that's what it's going to take to push these VR headsets. If the VR headsets are comfortable and put together well, and produce the immersive experience that there supposed to do, then price won't be "as much" a factor as long as it's the complete package that there most likely going to promise us.
But like I said before, we (the consumer) are the one's that need to demo it, not just the guy on the stage at Sony's Expo.

Re: Get a Better Look at Fallout 4 with These High-Res Screenshots
Just like everyone else I want to have my cake and eat it too, but just like everybody else already knows gameplay first graphics second.
It's not the resolution, it looks fine, it's the textures and poly count that makes it look last gen, but by no means even remotely a deal breaker. Otherwise it's a fine looking game that I can't wait to play.
As far as the animation and frame rate goes, I think in the demo trailer it looks fine, from the curtains being gently blown by the wind to the movements of the German Shepherd's slight bending of it's ankles as it's walking, to when it nudges the rocket mobile over the crib, all while it's opening and closing it's mouth and panting with occasional realistic tongue movements at the same time.
I think what throws people off on the animation is the poly count is low on the German Shepherd and it makes the dog a little "chunky" so they think it doesn't look fluid enough and the textures are flat like last gen graphics.
But again to me it's the poly count and the flat painted on textures that say "last gen" game that "maybe" make it a converted next-gen game.
But other than nit picking it, it's beautiful enough, not even remotely hideous visually and I'll definitely be pre-ordering it.
Re: Rumour: Fallout 4 May Usher the Apocalypse in 2015
I hope they surprise all of us with a pre holiday release!
Like I said in a comment previously in another section, this could have been originally a last generation game that they had already put a ton of development time in on and just converted it over to current gen, hence all of us getting a release of the game earlier than expected compared to a ground up version designed for the next gen consoles and then a much later release of the game instead.
I'll gladly take a coverted version with early release over a completely revamped current gen version "if" that is the case, that would've been released at a much later date. I've waited to long for the 4th Sequel to wait any longer, (as clearly as most of us seem to feel). Bring it on, the sooner the better!
Re: Fallout 4's Gameplay Reveal Goes Nuclear on PS4
@Crimson_Ridley: Actually after watching the vid of it a couple times I think the animation was smooth, even on the dog, visually the graphics are good (no complaints here) but definitely not "next gen graphics". Like someone else said this could have originally been a "last gen game" that was swapped over to "current gen".
Which if true we could all be lucky and get the game sooner than we think!
Re: Fallout 4's Gameplay Reveal Goes Nuclear on PS4
I can't wait to play it! " Fallout 3" was way better than "New Vegas" especially waaaay less buggy than New Vegas which was a total mess. I still liked New Vegas but not nearly as much as far as the storyline compared to "Fallout 3". Hopefully "Fallout 4" won't have the same buggy issues that "New Vegas" had. But it does look like they captured the better atmospheric feel like they did before in "Fallout" 3.
I can't wait to preoder it and play!
Re: Could Titanfall Still Pick a Fight with the PlayStation 4?
I personally think Titan Fall looks awesome, and I can't wait for it to eventually hit the PS4! It will most likely have exclusively added content and it will "definitely" look better and run a smoother frame rate than on the Xbox180. With this generation of consoles Sony is easily going to have the jump on the Xbox180 as far as the installed base on systems. That coupled with the Mandatory PlayStation+ subscription for online multiplayer which I'm already a member of, Sony is going to have the money to bid on larger AAA exclusives. Hell the figures that I've seen on the amount that Sony takes in on PlayStation+ now annually (without it being mandatory) vs when it will be on PS4, 200 something million annually jumps to 1.2 billion! Thats roughly a billion more in annual income a year that Sony didn't have before! Also add the fact that games are easier and cheaper to develop for than the PS3, Sony's going to have a lot of extra dough to throw around that they didn't have with this current gen! Microsoft will have to pony up more money for exclusives this next gen to pay for the larger install base of the PS4, while Sony will have to bid less for Microsofts smaller install base, while still having more revenue from the aforementioned PlayStation+ and reduced development costs! Sony's definitely going to hammer it home this next generation! I definitely think the PS4 will end up with not just small Indie exclusives but a lot more AAA blockbuster exclusives. The only way I see Sony screwing up is if they do it to themselves, it's theirs to lose.

I know they are! But one's still an apple(games) and one's still an Orange(movies). Refine your argument(games only) and quit being so broad with it (entertainment). Then you'll see. Because you'll never convince me an apple(games) is an Orange(movies), but like I said you wanna argue fruit(entertainment). And if you can't understand my angle of the argument then you right, your not gonna understand and you shouldn't reply back. After all your the one who made a comment on my opinion first. No body's trying to upset you brother, it's just a civil conversation. Logic not emotions.
(P.S) "Most" people(consumers) aren't corporate board members sitting down discussing statistical differences and demographics of their entertainment divisions and breaking down their entertainment statistics to see how which one is affecting the other. Like game reviewers for this site and other notable sites not to mention gaming magazines, I'm comparing (gaming dollar to gaming dollar) and 2 heavily established juggernauts of the F.P.S genre where most people don't even play the (campaign mode) they mainly buy it for multiplayer, and like this site has reported Guerrilla Games wants a piece of there pie and I said this go around with Killzone ShadowFall that since their not as popular that they should not follow their typical model of "campaign mode" but hege their bets and increase it to more than a short 10+ hours for the cost of the game at $65. Then your the one who gets all hostile when you responded to the fact that I don't agree about comparing 2 completely ( different entertainment) element comparisons and called me quote " dead wrong" and got your dander up an tried to get all analytical showing me how big your brain pan is! You need to try emailing or posting or writing "Game Reviewers" and ask why they don't compare "Movies" or " Music" to "Games directly" and since you get tied up in minutia, the answer is "Games to Games", Movies to Movies", "Music to Music". We aren't corporate number crunchers just impulsive consumers. Here's another adage for you-( You can't see the forest for the trees) or in your case I'm pointing at a tree and you wanta talk about the forest and how it's the same because their also made of wood. Quit telling people how they are and focus on yourself. And I bet I'm not dead wrong. Sheesh why so angry...
