Re: First Impressions: Ratchet & Clank PS4 Is a Pixar Movie Brought to Life

WARDIE

While I agree that Ratchet & Clank does look good, and I will pick it up on its release, there is no way I would choose it over Uncharted 4. If they set the bar even higher than Uncharted 2, Uncharted 4 will be a mind blowing thrill ride.
I've seen a few minutes of gameplay from both games and as good as Ratchet & Clank looks, it doesn't look anywhere near as good as Uncharted 4. Though this is my opinion.

Re: Fallout 4 Will Irradiate About 30GB of Your PS4 Hard Drive

WARDIE

@REALROBLAW Their is no reason to worry. Bathesda are really good at getting the file size down on there games. Skyrim was a top game full of things to do and that was a smaller file than Oblivion. Skyrim was 3.5gb and Oblivion was around 5gb. Oblivion was also older buy a few years.

Re: First Impressions: Reflecting on Mirror’s Edge Catalyst PS4

WARDIE

@Boerewors I played the first Mirror's Edge in VR via the Rift on my mates PC. It was definitely a strange experience and caused a little nausea and vertigo, though those feelings pass as you become used to the technology. I totally agree with what you're saying though. I just hope we eventually get traditional first person games for it sooner rather than later. No Man's Sky would be a great place to start.

I want the developers to trust that I know my own limitations and not over simplify the experience. Just slap a warning sticker on the box lol

Re: Fallout 4 Will Irradiate About 30GB of Your PS4 Hard Drive

WARDIE

I remember when I first installed Skyrim on my Xbox 360, I was really surprised to see that it was only 3.5gb's. I think Oblivion was around 5gb's plus. Thats a whole 1.5gb's larger for an older game.

I was also surprised that The Witcher 3 was only 30gb's as I was expecting it to be atleast 40gb's, which of course it now is after all the dlc and updates.

To be honest, im a little sick of my HDD constantly running out of space. Its crazy that a 1tb HDD isn't really that large anymore.
I would recommend that anyone who is thinking about an upgrade should opt for a 2tb HDD instead.

Re: First Impressions: How Well Does Assassin's Creed Syndicate Run on PS4?

WARDIE

Im actually looking forward to AC Syndicate but, of course I won't be getting it day one. Im going to wait for Fallout 4 and pick up AC after Christmas. By then most of the bugs and glitches should have been patched.

Im not a big fan of the Assassin's Creed series anyway. I enjoyed Black Flag, but that was mainly a pirate game, and a damn good one too. I'd love to see a current gen Black Flag. The main reason I want AC Syndicate is for the theme and location. Im also interested in seeing how the relationship between the brother and sister unfolds.

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Hit New Low as Price Drop Nears

WARDIE

@brendon987 And people say the Vita is dead. I've noticed that the Vita has been in the top 3 multiple times of late.

If Sony would pump out a few more big first party games im sure sales would pick up in the west. Maybe another Uncharted, an Infamous and if they could get Rockstar to make a GTA for it that would sure help sell it. Besides, don't Rockstar still owe Sony an exclusive game.

Re: First Impressions: Reflecting on Mirror’s Edge Catalyst PS4

WARDIE

@DualWielding I don't think it would be as good in third person . Part of the hook is the first person perspective. It really adds to the experience when you're running, jumping and climbing on top of high buildings and skyscrapers.

I CAN'T WAIT!!! I just wish the PS4 was powerful enough to run Mirror's Edge in VR. Its obvious that it will have a VR version on PC at some point.

So many amazing games so close together. I wish I could find a way to go without sleep for the next several months and still be able to work and play haha

Re: London Is Full of Evil Cockneys According to Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Story Trailer

WARDIE

@Dodoo I think alot of people are really looking forward to Rainbow Six Siege and The Division.

Im not a fan of the Assassin's Creed series, but Syndicate looks really good im my opinion. If they can nail the story and have a fun relationship between the brother and sister aswell as really good combat I think they will have a hit on there hands.

The only other AC game I enjoyed was Black Flag.

Re: Fallout 4 Mutates with a Massive Perk System That's Yours to Explore

WARDIE

Oh my god, just give me this game already! I need my Fallout fix.
I've had some rather nasty comments aimed at me on certain forums for suggesting that Fallout 4 will win game of the year. People who don't play it think I am being a fanboy. Most of them are saying that accolade will go to The Witcher 3.
While I love The Witcher it comes nowhere close to Fallout for me. Also the last four games Todd H and Bethesda have made won game of the year.

Morrowind GOTY
Oblivion GOTY
Fallout 3 GOTY
Skyrim GOTY

While there are some top contenders for the game of the year I wouldn't want to be going up against Fallout 4 and Bethesda.

Re: Fallout 4's Canine Companion Is Based on This Very Happy Dog

WARDIE

I can't take it any longer, the wait is killing me. Every E3 since 2013 I would hope to get some Fallout news and we finally get it and I now feel like im going to explode. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas or a kid on a long journey. Are we their yet? Are we their yet?

Re: Review: SOMA (PS4)

WARDIE

@get2sammyb Would you say this is better/more scary than Outlast or not?
I've been looking forward to SOMA ever since E3 2013.

Has anyone noticed this issue me and my friends have had with the PS4 HDD?

Anytime I download a game or update I have to make room for double the size of the file.
For example, if im downloading a file thats around 15gb I have to have around 30gb of free space. This is something that only started happening around a couple of months ago. Im assuming its also including an installer with the file I am downloading but it never did this until recently.
It doesn't matter what size the file is, its always double.

Borderlands Handsome Jake update around 12gb = 24gb needed.
ESO 10gb = 20gb needed.
I also installed Shadow of Mordor from the disk 29gb = 60gb of space required.

At first I thought it was just me, but I know two of my friends also have the issue. I've tried looking online for information but I can't find anything related.
I know the PS3 had a similar issue, but this is recent for the PS4 as I know 100% that it never had it before the last couple of firmware updates.

I would be very grateful if someone could explain why this is happening.

Edit- I forgot to say that, once the file has downloaded and installed it will revert back to the required space, but before I start the download or even whilst its downloading it requires double the file size.

Re: Rumour: BioShock Collection Steps into PS4's Bathysphere

WARDIE

They're brave to release this collection around the same time as Fallout 4, Assassin's Creed, Black Ops 3, Star Wars Battlefront, Rainbow Six Siege etc.
I think I will pass. I would definitely prefer they made a BioShock for the Vita instead.

I thought the studio behind BioShock said that they weren't making anymore BioShock games and were also down sizing the team. I also heard that they were moving into the mobile phone sector.

Re: TGS 2015: Good Grief! Sony Has More PS4 Exclusives to Show

WARDIE

@Riririn The grass is always greener. To be fair though, XB1 has some top exclusive's too.

The past few months has seen too many games. Normally I would pick up a game every few weeks but recently we've been getting games releasing almost weekly. I've promised myself that im only going to purchase two more games this year. Fallout 4 & SOMA.

Re: Shenmue III's Saved, But There's Still Time to Pledge

WARDIE

I don't see how thats going to be enough. Even if they raise twice the amount we're never going to get a true next gen sequel. Games these days cost ridiculous amounts of money to make. I loved Shenmue on Dreamcast and I am really looking forward to finally getting Shenmue 3 but, im going to try and manage my expectations.

Re: The Best Games Are on PS4, Sony Commercial Claims

WARDIE

And Microsoft say the same, aswell as the XB1 is the best place to play. Sorry Sony and Microsoft, me and my wallet will be the judge of that.

At the moment the best games are multi platform. It will probably be true this time next year, but for now, the best games are everywhere.

Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Gets a Free PS4 Demo This Month

WARDIE

@wittypixel Oh well. You're in for a treat. Well, thats if you like adventure games. Not sure how much you will like the first Uncharted as its pretty old now but, Uncharted 2 im sure you will really enjoy. Uncharted 1 was a good game, but the difference between that and Uncharted 2 is night and day. Uncharted 2 is more in line with what we've seen in Uncharted 4 so far.
Uncharted 3 is really good too, but they didn't raise the bar any higher than they did for the second iteration.

Regardless of which one is the best, Uncharted is a great series and definitely deserving of a remaster and the asking price. If you decide to get the boxset on release I hope you have as much fun with the series as I have. It will also be interesting to hear your opinion once you've finished them.

Re: Review: Mad Max (PS4)

WARDIE

This or Fallout 4, this or Fallout 4, this or Fallout 4... Obviously Fallout 4 hahaha. This looks ok but with so many top games in my backlog and on the horizon I think its just going to have to wait. I'll probably pick up Mad Max when its cheap and quite on the release front.

Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Gets a Free PS4 Demo This Month

WARDIE

They've obviously chosen Uncharted 2 as the demo since its easily the best thus far. Don't get me wrong, I love them all, including the Vita version, but Uncharted 2 is a game I couldn't get out of my head until I saw the credits role at the end.
In my opinion Uncharted 2 is one of the best games of last gen and I have a feeling Uncharted 4 will be the same this gen. Uncharted 4 also has the original lead devs from Uncharted 2 and The Last of Us.

I will eventually add this amazing collection to my PS4, but not this year. All im interested in this year is Fallout 4 and SOMA. Besides, I already own all of the Uncharted games so im not in a rush.

I do wish I could play them for the first time on PS4. Being able to play the first 3 games without having to wait and, in 1080p at 60fps. Im a little jealous hahaha

Re: PS4 Horror SOMA Continues to Look Intensely Ominous

WARDIE

I've been waiting for SOMA ever since they first announced it. Trouble is, im a wimp when it comes to horror games that are actually scary lol.

My only dilemma is, SOMA will no doubt be part of the instant games collection at some point in the very near future, just like the vast majority of digital games I have brought on PS4. If it turns out to be really good I guess I will support the developers and purchase it.
I haven't payed for a game since I got ESO and have avoided getting MGSPP and Mad Max as I have a massive backlog. I did say to myself that if im going to purchase anymore games before Fallout 4, SOMA would definitely be one of them.
