Re: Sony Confirms 'High-End' PS4K Exists, Won't Be at E3

blakey78

In, most definitely. I've already been putting some pennies to one side ready for the PSVR launch. Time to double up those pennies me thinks lol. I do own a 4K tv so it makes sense to upgrade. I just hope they have some good trade in offers for my present console, here in the UK.

Re: The Witcher 3 Is Getting Another Patch on PS4 Soon

blakey78

I'm still waiting for a quest fux for "dirty funds" lol. Aside from that I'm more than happy with the game, the developers and my whole experience with regards to the witcher. Yes, there are some glitches here and there, but when you put these minor faults aside the sheer size of the world you play in, and the constant detail in said world, these faults seem miniscule. I'm yet to play either expansion as I'm still completing the main story. I've managed to clear all but four ?'s in the whole game though, skellige included. So I'll be dipping into the dlc very soon, and I cannot wait

Re: Talking Point: Was Sony's E3 2015 Presser Really the Greatest Ever?

blakey78

For me, Jason Derulo's EA performance was hard to top Nah, as others have said, I'm not an FF fan, not heard of or played Shenmue (didn't own a dreamcast), and why should we gamers pay for it, we pay enough for consoles, accessories and games. As for the last guardian, yes I get the hype, but as I never played ico/SotC, this for me is just another announcement for an upcoming game. Horizon and UC4 were big for me. I do believe that this year can top last year's. But by showing games that will be released rather than games that are in development. We shall see I guess

Re: Homefront: The Revolution's Day One Patch Makes the Game Run Properly

blakey78

It's a catch 22. They either release on the date advertised, but with a day one patch. Or delay the release so that they can fix whatever issues there are and release a complete game. Either way someone will be unhappy. And understandably so. If you set yourself a target to release your product but it's still not playable without patches, then that's obviously going to irk the customer. I don't mind the patches but I too have low net speeds so find I'm not playing straight away. The only fix I can see is to not be so over ambitious to think that a specific date is achievable. It's not like it's their first game so they have experience in time frames needed to produce a working game.

Re: Review: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (PS4)

blakey78

@get2sammyb one of my worries about the inclusion of vehicles in large areas is the searching for all the collectibles in that area. Are you able to actually drive the vehicle properly or is it stop/start because of the worry you'll miss something? Really excited about this game though. It seems all our expectations for this game have been lived up to by naughty dog. Take a bow son, take a bow (only UK folk will get that reference)

Re: DriveClub VR May Not Be Out of Gas After All

blakey78

I must admit, VR and racing games seem like a marriage made in heaven. But we also know how some marriages turn out lol. My concern would be motion sickness. Of all the VR games to be due out, this appears to be the fastest, so surely it stands to reason that some may feel nauseous. I really hope that I can demo the headset prior to release, I'm jealous of all those that have experienced it thus far

Re: Guide: How to Use PS4 Remote Play on Your PC, Mac

blakey78

Right folks, I really need your advice. I have an Xperia Z3 and a vita which I can use remote play on to access my PS4. But I can only do it on my home network. I've put all the relevant settings in the correct configuration, I've tried remote play from more than one networks, but it keeps saying that it cannot connect to the PS4. I've never been able to remote play anywhere other than my own home. Please help me as I would most definitely use it if it was accessible. My PS4 is in rest mode too by the way. After going through the "connection via Internet" or whatever the phrase is lol, it just comes up with an error saying that it cannot find the PS4

Re: You Can Download PS4 Firmware Update 3.50 Now

blakey78

@SKC_Diamond whenever I try to access my PS4 using remote play anywhere other than my home network, it doesn't connect. You have to be on the same Internet connection to be able to use remote play. So as much as I would love to be able to play my PS4 on the other side of the world (or even just up the road at my mum's lol) It's just something that I don't believe is possible yet. Unless they've rectified it with this latest firmware update of course

Re: Take Cover, Your April PlayStation Plus Games Have Been Announced

blakey78

I'd looked at Zombii U in the sales but held off buying due to mixed reviews. I, therefore, am very happy this is part of the free games this month. I get to try it for myself, for free, and come to my own conclusions as to whether it's good or not. Thanks Sony the other game doesn't interest me though

Re: Feature: 5 PlayStation VR Games That Have Us Hella Hyped

blakey78

@WARDIE I found this out myself today too. It shocked me as surely the average Joe just hasn't got £100 spare cash to put a deposit down on the spot. So, as customers we'll just go and pre-order from a different company for a lot less. I spoke to Game's customer service yesterday about pre-ordering and he didn't mention the price once. Game will lose so many customers using this method. I've got some games to trade in so hopefully that will be enough otherwise I'll be shopping elsewhere

Re: PlayStation VR Can Act as a Screen for All of Your PS4 Games

blakey78

I use remote play a lot on my Xperia Z3, I can use the D4 with it so no dodgy mapping like the vita. To be able to remote play using this headset only stands to improve my gaming experience by immersing me more in whatever game I'm playing or movie I'm watching. This for me is a brilliant addition to an already impressive piece of kit

Re: PlayStation VR Launches in October for $399

blakey78

@get2sammyb late night for me then lol. Looking forward to your first impressions. You know your stuff after all I'm looking forward to a store near me having a unit for demonstration purposes. I'm already sold on buying PSVR, I still want to give it a go through. I bought a firefly headset to use with my Xperia Z3 and although some apps are OK, it hasn't exactly blown me away. PSVR for me is looking to be a top quality headset for a relatively low budget

Re: PlayStation VR Launches in October for $399

blakey78

@feral1975 hmm now I'm back to being indecisive again lol. Nah, if it ain't broke, don't fix it lol. I've still got my "Game virtual share" to use at some point. The next chance to convert will be October. Hopefully that's going to be roughly £100 worth of points to spend in store

Re: PlayStation VR Launches in October for $399

blakey78

@feral1975 same here unfortunately. Aside from game, you have the supermarkets, online or HMV in the more major towns and cities. I like the fact that I can put money on to a game gift card over the next few months. By doing so, I know that money can only be spent in that particular store. If I pre-order on amazon, I won't have that option. I've already got the camera and one move controller so it's just going to be the main peripheral to get

Re: PlayStation VR Launches in October for $399

blakey78

@feral1975 there aren't many places to pre-order without paying the full price up front. Well, aside from major retailers but they tend to price things more than what they're usually advertised. At least with game I can pre-order with £20 and then add funds to a gift card. Unless I'm missing something lol, which is probably the case with me

Re: PlayStation VR Launches in October for $399

blakey78

@get2sammyb very excited about this. Was eagerly awaiting the all important price and I'm really happy it's not as steep as the others on offer. I'll definitely be preordering this at my local "Game" shop (UK). I'll then have until October to add funds to a gift card ready for purchase, just like I did with the ps4. Oh, and to top it off, my birthday is October 11th

Re: One of Your Free April PlayStation Plus Games Has Already Been Revealed

blakey78

@stevejcrow I'm with you. Not a fan of multi-player games in general, mostly because I'm useless at them lol. I am an SP gamer and although I have tried (many) MP games I just can't do them. My control pad would have to be replaced on a weekly basis lol. So, this is half of April's games I'll be giving a miss. I won't complain like some though because I know there are a lot of folk out there who love these types of games and don't play SP. Remember folks, it all comes down to personal preference

Re: Mass Effect Andromeda Will Crash Land on PS4 Soon

blakey78

@get2sammyb Has there been any hints or confirmation on a Mass Effect collection remastered, like the uncharted collection? I never played these on the PS3, much to my brothers annoyance lol. He loves the series and has convinced me to at least give it a go. Having traded in my PS3 though means a remaster is much needed.
