I do feel after using the asymmetric sticks thats sonys design is more harmonious with the body. Seeing all those pads was a cool memory, i dont miss wired pads!
The DS4 is the best controller by far in terms of comfort and the worst by far in terms of build quality! Sent one launch pad back as rubber split and missed having it for like 2 weeks plus! Now my other launch one has split and i cant be bothered with the saga of getting through to sony support again. Someone start a busines replacing sticks for 10 pounds with a next day return and ill be interested, not sure if i have the inclination to do it myself ...
Ive actually seen a couple of uk retailers advertising the vita after the ps4 on tv here, its maybe starting to regain a bit of momentum fingers crossed.
Makes sense, seems playstation is the really profitable aspect of the business and shouldnt have to prop up ailing divisions. Hopefully will mean funds can go back into the whole playstation experience.
Liking DA:I so far, first in the series ive ever played and really impressed, my only minor issue is playing as an archery based character I have no real control over where I aim my shots or does this come later in the game?
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya exactly. The reason i had money to purchase your product was because at my job i hit the agreed deadlines and satisfactory quality levels and therefore the client was happy to pay for the product. Learn this game devs and publishers, its age old and expected...
@KALofKRYPTON ill take your word and give it one more try! I was blown away with the graphics but i bought this for online functions and seriously ive never connected once for long enough to have a race.
I have a finite amount of time for my gaming so waiting for connections is no good for me.
I think the devs really should be removing craniums from orrafices personally.
@eliotgballade no, I sadly traded mine for the Xbox. All I kept was my NES and its original box. Megadrive II, PS one, Xbox, Xbox 360 all long gone. Just ps4 and vita now. Loved all my consoles though...
God I remember getting my psone one evening at blockbuster when they came out. It had destruction derby and I was so blown away. I remember watching the intro parts thinking one day games will be like that and now they are! That console done the rounds with all my friends, was value for money as not everyone had or could afford consoles back then, different to now. Shareplay was my rucksack and bmx:-)
Sony if your listening make these available to all, I need one.
Reason is when you repaired my mint launch console you sent one back with the hdd cover scratched to hell, i just couldnt be bothered to complain as was hard enough work getting through to you for the initial repair!
@TOMBOY25 you have just saved me 40 quid with the whole copy paste of ghosts MP thing. Thanks, all I honestly needed to hear so will save the money towards Dragon Age. I wish cod would go back to ww2 or someone would for a ps4 shooter...
Im really happy with it, had to return the launch console due to a known fault with the blu ray drive spitting disks out but much better than the shower that was the 360.
I feel like im back to the happy days of ps2 as the ps4 really reminds of that system.
Games that ive loved in no particular order;
Tlou Diablo 3 Thief Shadow of Mordor Fifa15
Big let down for me was Destiny and part let down was Driveclub ( makes me cringe a bit when i look at the 'only on playstation' bit on the case). I think Driveclub will be good when its stable as graphically its beautiful. I wont trade it however Destiny ready to go towards dragon Age.
Damn I really do love some of the green or snowy vistas in the movies, guess thats for another lotr game... I like shadow of mordor, ive only just put some hours in, underwhelmed at first and hardly touched since getting day1 but I really get this game now,its got a wow factor to the combat, I like this it a lot.
I bought the physical copy of this yesterday and have no regrets, just what I expected and more in terms of graphics and gameplay.
Once up and running online its definitely going to be great fun, think Evolution have made a perfectly balanced title here and I am glad to have this in the collection.
A really good range of titles so far for the PlayStation, I'm really happy.
This weekend, picked up drive club, put a good dent in the career already. For me personally I really like this game, its another demonstration of the power of this PlayStation.
Also, grinding through Lego marvel with the child, 200 hours in and getting those deadpool bricks, aaaargh. Great value for money though, haven't touched Hobbit yet.
Bit of shadow of mordor maybe tonight and FIFA 15.
Destiny, Diablo 3 and picked up infamous today which I'm really liking! Oh and grinding through Lego marvel with the child, gotta get all those characters!
@teknium_ true, my sentiments exactly. Like you ive gamed every day for years and to be honest ive never felt more excited about the hobby than at the moment! I really am curious to what this holy grail of games is because they seem to hate most other offerings. Don't mean to sound too old but the games now are what I longed for as a kid and its rather sad to see them so harshly judged when they really are absolute works of art. Maybe virtual reality is what people long for... Destiny sparked my imagination and thats satisfying for me. Enjoy the hobby, thats all it is kids.
I don't get the gaming media (this site excluded) they spend months building up to a game 'oh its going to be this/do this' etc and then it comes out and they pan it. Suppose its mind games to keep us looking for the next game.
As for user reviews, they have become too extreme and I just don't heed them or any of it much now.
Early preview video/screen shots, general theme and concept (not deviating upon release) sell a game to me.
Interesting time, how things change, for years I heard people complain 'gaming' was anti-social and solitary hobby, now its a really social community with real connections between gamers.
Personally, PewDiePie has done a good thing for gaming.
@mitcHELLspawn Im in the same boat as you! Diablo for the first time and its really great on ps4! Add me on psn if you like, im pretty casual gamer, basically when kids are in bed, youll have the honor of being my first psn friend lol.... How sad (ive lost my mic tho!)
This weekend is going to be a lot of gaming, no work until thursday and have had hardly a break since i got the ps4 in the week it came out, bought so many games and hardly play them really so i will be delving into lots of them.
If anybody wants to add me to team up now and again on Diablo my psn user is same as user name here. You will also have the honour of being my first ps4 friend.....
Another possible reason could be it resembles the ps2 in looks.... Sony certainly played this gen very well, sticking to proven marketing and prouction values. With new tech releases its a fine line between the new and unknown and also what we are familiar with and feel safe with ( habitual desires ).
On a seperate note my kids are just getting into games and I really couldnt let these formulative years be spent with a xbox controller , it wasnt how it was for me and it certainly wont be for them.
Bought them both vitas, now thats a different story....

Re: The Weather Looks Frightful in This Uncharted 4 Concept Art

This is fantastic, i like these posts pushsquare, the concept art for games are so good but Naughty Dog, on a higher plane at times...

Re: Review: Dragon Age: Inquisition (PlayStation 4)
Read several reviews of this game but must say this was the one best written here on push square. Well done.
This site has become my go to for really good reviews which generally leads to a purchase.
The quality and style of some game review sites is terrible ( I do rate Polygon though).

Re: Evolution Studios Prepares Free Apologetic DriveClub DLC

This will be my first Dragon Age experience so fingers crossed will be a good one.

Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition's Producer Reckons Skyrim Changed the RPG Genre Completely
Thank heavens for good old Skyrim, set the benchmark for open worlds and beauty too.
Dragon Age is the game ive been waiting for and after that the order and bloodborne.
It looks great from what I have seen so far, roll on 21st in the UK!
Rpg's really are for me the ultimate in gaming, i love the longevity of the adventure, really grabs me.

Re: Sharpen That Blade, You're Going Hunting in Shadow of Mordor's Next DLC

Re: Feature: Man on the Moon - Our Early Intergalactic Impressions of Destiny on PS4
@teknium_ I agree, ive been gaming since late 80 s and this sort of game was what I used to dream about.
For me the shooting mechanics are miles above other shooters, graphics are good and the loading screens are a nice touch .
No complaints here, exactly what I expected from Bungie, halo but with more options and sense of freedom.
