@thatguyEZ Ah, strawman. Saying Sony has a right to block gross...stuff off their platform doesn't equal wanting to make it illegal. I donated money to a charity that helps abuse victims. You keep white knighting, I just pointed out fact.
They should rename it to disable ads for services in the black. Not like MS lets you run from their dash ads even if you pay for gold, but at least they're upfront about it.
@Nickolaidas Believe it or not Sammy can call out a witch hunt and crappy animations at the same time. I don't think he's afraid of angry partisans falsely accusing him of being misogynist or a sellout. Is it that hard to fathom?
The animations are pretty rough, and there's nothing wrong with telling a developer to do a better job, but falsely accusing someone of being lead animator as an excuse to harass them is ****.
@Pink_Floyd I think they did. I just don't think they care. And they should, cause they'll regret it. Don't be surprised if future units come with an improved processing unit, with cheap spares sold on their site.
@JaxonH Hardware limitations. The PS4 doesn't even support HDR10, just some middle ground. The processing unit can't even handle that apparently. At least you can awkwardly use a splitter.
The boss fight was definitely better than any of the ones in Human Rev, but it certainly wasn't as good as Sahelanthropus from MGS V. Shame it has so many glitches and microtransactions (I never asked for this Square Enix). Looking forward to the patches and DLC.
@SoulsBourne128 Pretty sure no one deserves a death threat, bluff or not (though threats to steal their pizza might be). As for MS, while it's obvious they're better now, Sony's lackluster behavior recently doesn't hold a candle to the ****ery Mattrick pulled back in 2013.
@Ypmud Mods alter the game, which could affect its security, but not your account's security. That's what Sony got in trouble for, that has nothing to do with this. It's likely a matter of not wanting to curate these.
@Tasuki Not entirely sure, but if you're already logged in a PC you can change your account's phone number from there. Not sure about the PS4 though, and you need to be signed in online to generate a device setup password for the PS3, PSP, & Vita.
While it doesn't look terrible, the wilted flower on the Joker was a nice touch that the new team doesn't seem to appreciate. I'm not sure why they couldn't just be faithful, none of these changes seem to be for the better. Doesn't look bad though.
@andreoni79 Well it's just streaming, so it's not much different from a YouTube video. I would recommend upgrading as 10's pretty good now and has a better battery life than Windows 7. If you have driver issues you can roll back, so give it a shot. Shame Sony didn't support it, I doubt it would take much effort.
Didn't know it lacks an Arcade mode. That and server issues? Rough launch. Figured they would've learned from Driveclub by now. People can't keep launching broken/incomplete games and expect gamers to keep buying them. Sigh...
"For me, that was part of the intrigue of coming back to this world. You never see something successful in the industry end. It usually just fizzles out." That's one of the best quotes I've heard all year (though we are only coming on March thus far). I may have never played Uncharted aside from a store demo, but this is an intriguing way to deal with a series. Sure some will lament the loss of the only lead the series has ever known, but he's sure to go out with a bang.
Does this mean low graphics settings will finally get a better frame rate than medium on PC? Cause all I ever did during the Beta was pull over and crank up Bloc Party really loud. In other words, it was an even more poorly optimized way to listen to Brit Rock than iTunes itself.

Re: PS4, Vita Title Omega Labyrinth Z Refused Release in UK and Other PAL Regions
@thatguyEZ Unconstitutional? lol First off Sony is a private company and not the gov't.

Re: Gran Turismo Sport's Really Looking Great in Beta
Looking great, be proud Polyphony.
Re: PS4 Pro's Boost Mode Is Proving to Be Quite the Beast
@xpacerx Should've been, minus 1. As in, should have 3.
Re: PS4 Pro's Boost Mode Is Proving to Be Quite the Beast
@ToddlerNaruto It did, though digital games couldn't be installed on it. At least from what I've heard.
Re: PS4 Pro's Boost Mode Is Proving to Be Quite the Beast
@jrpgdude Seems to be on life support now, and with no announcement I'm not getting my hopes up.
Re: PS4 Pro's Boost Mode Is Proving to Be Quite the Beast
4.50: How the PS4 Pro should've been, minus 1 USB port. Even the original models get HDD support. What a time to be a PS4 owner.
Re: Death Stranding's Trailers Are Connected in the Weirdest Way
Biological war ravaged the country and nearly all the women and children were killed? Would explain Reedus' distress.

Re: PlayStation's New Commercial Is Completely Over the Top
Not as good as the Kevin Butler ads but still pretty good.
Re: inFAMOUS: Second Son Absorbs 3.6GB PS4 Pro Patch
Cool, you don't always see this kind of support in the industry.
Re: Remember When Xbox Paid Donald Trump to Fire Fake PlayStation Employees?
Marketing has seen better days...
Re: Yes, You'll Need the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Disc to Play Modern Warfare on PS4
@MaseSco I can see being opposed to trade-ins, but since when was it okay to bundle 2 completely separate games and not sell one standalone?

I knew my physics teacher was wrong. Take that!
Re: Podcast: Episode 13 - The State of Cloud Gaming in 2016
The boss fight was definitely better than any of the ones in Human Rev, but it certainly wasn't as good as Sahelanthropus from MGS V. Shame it has so many glitches and microtransactions (I never asked for this Square Enix). Looking forward to the patches and DLC.

Re: Rumour: PS4K Neo Launches This Week According to Report
@Rob_230 A lower price point might help. That said, pretty sure we're only seeing the slim this week.
Re: Rumour: PS4K Neo Launches This Week According to Report
Nothing. My beard's gonna grow 5 feet this week, just you watch!
Re: Secure Your PSN Account with Two-Step Verification Now
@Tasuki Well if you haven't gotten a new one you can also turn it off (you'll probably need to enter your password though).
Re: Secure Your PSN Account with Two-Step Verification Now
@Tasuki Not entirely sure, but if you're already logged in a PC you can change your account's phone number from there. Not sure about the PS4 though, and you need to be signed in online to generate a device setup password for the PS3, PSP, & Vita.
Re: Video: Crash Bandicoot's First PS4 Appearance Looks Awesome
Softens the blow suffered from MGS earlier today. At least Crash has a good future.
Re: Metal Gear Solid V: Definitive Ex Emerges on Amazon
@ShogunRok +1
Re: Store Update: 19th July 2016 (North America)
@Ralizah Still has many great exclusives. The Vita less so, though it certainly had better hardware for the time.
Re: Store Update: 19th July 2016 (North America)
@JaredJ It is BC at least (unlike the Xbox One ATM).
Re: Star Wars Battlefront Feels the Force with Offline Mode on PS4
Might consider this if it goes on sale now that this is added. Your turn Blizzard.
Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Scared of Xbox's Scorpio?
@sonicmeerkat I'd upvote that if I really cared. You gave me a good laugh.
Re: You Can Reverse Final Fantasy XV's Cover to Give it that Classic Look
@stocko Japanese one looks better from both an artistic and action standpoint. Not sure why Square Enix is so out of touch in America.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Time for PSone Classics on PS4?
Yes. And please, don't add trophy support if we're going to have to buy it again.
Re: Visual Novels 999 and Virtue's Last Reward Being Ported to New Platforms
Might get 999 if it comes to PC.
Re: Batman: Return to Arkham Is Looking Like a Pretty Rough PS4 Remaster

Re: Hmmm, Street Fighter V Came Close to Having Super Realistic Graphics
Thank goodness that didn't happen. The first time I saw this I thought "Damn, that's a nice direction for the franchise."

Re: Hideo Kojima's PS4 Exclusive Will Be a 'Big Scale' Game
Well if it's "Silent Hills" the only obstacle they face is making a new game engine. Screw Konami for relegating Fox to only PES.
Re: 'Violent Video Game Addict' Is to Blame for Recent Hacking Scandal, Says Consistently Crap Newspaper
@Matroska True. Both are ****, agreed?
Re: 'Violent Video Game Addict' Is to Blame for Recent Hacking Scandal, Says Consistently Crap Newspaper
@Matroska Nah, they might be even worse than Fox if such a thing is possible. They're like the love child of them and the National Enquirer.
Re: 'Violent Video Game Addict' Is to Blame for Recent Hacking Scandal, Says Consistently Crap Newspaper
I had a feeling it was them before reading the article. I'm psychic or something.
