Monza is great! Jag XJ13 is great! GT Sport is better and better every month ! Wise people bought some of the editions for a half price during Christmass sale. I’m happy I bought it in the end , because lack of some content made me almost turn away.
I chose “yes” but I have to comment it. I think when PS4 comes with free 1 month game pass, that would be great for newcomers. So it seems great for me as some type of demo disc. As for ps now- There should be also alternative in form of downloadable games (of course without PS3 games). So Sony needs to widen its PS4 games support, support downloading next to streaming and set price that if you have ps plus , you can have ps now for only 9.99£/month. That would seem attractive to me enough.
@Neolit exactly! I was surprised how It was similar to imax . If there will be possibility to connect psvr to any 3D source via hdmi , that would be great! For example PS3 , pc (that can be done via trinus or transformed sbs already),etc...
@PS4fan Fair point. But for Sony its logical step. It seems, they support VR well so far. But one thing about PSVR games is great. PSVR HMD lowers quality of games because of its resolution (FHD for both eyes together). So technically, if Sony makes stronger console and HMD with higher resolution, games should run with better resolution and higher crispness. We will see.
I dont think that there is some major change in people thinking. Vita is different type of device. If you want compare vita to 3ds. Switch is big portable console. And what about ps tv? Difference is that you will buy 2 in 1 with switch and also it’s nintendo, so it appeals to families. Vita has it’s flaws but switch also (32GB really???). On switch you have big games. Maybe performance is last gen, but you have it. On vita? It’s still only portable. But in the end there is nothing about changing attitudes. 3ds sold well, switch sells well. Vita has some good features - like remote play. But if you want to play big games on vita you need also big console, so that’s different approach than switch. And you can take switch to train, bus etc... simply can’t compare these two. Maybe Sony had similar concept but did it differently (not wrong imho). I think vita would end same these days.
@porhawj2016 9TF is too low 480 is obsolete by 2020. If there will be some Vega derivate (lower clocked Vega has very good consumption) with zen2 cores that could be great but even then it’s not revolution. I think to be able to jump in vr quality Sony needs some Navi derivate.
Next year if bc with PS4. If not then 2020. But I think now on x86 platform ps5 2018/19 with PS4 bc would be great. 2019 would be best from my point of view. It can be more vr related. If it can do 4K for vr (so 90fps) that would be awesome.
Honestly I did uturn with gt. In the end I decided to buy it. And I love it so far. Worst enemy of gts are expectations. Many people want Gt6 converted for PS4(as I wanted too). But this really isn’t same car collecting gt. This isn’t direct competitor to forza. It tries to be iracing for masses and accessible for beginners.
I also hope for new tracks and cars. I’m little concerned about quantity PD can deliver. They already stated how long makes to build one car for gt. I hope they have several tracks and cars already in progress.
What can pd do is opening communication channel more. If people know how many cars, tracks or modes are coming, it would help them to decide.
However gts is very nice online game. I recommend it to everyone who likes racing. You only need to switch approach to online racing. Don’t worry. It’s much more fun than offline. And FIA cups are your career mode
Tried demo and so far....Im not so much impressed as I was with gt5 prologue. I dont know why. Its gran turismo and also it isnt. I bought PS4 because of GT but now Im considering if buying GT is good idea. Definitely online is good, but Im missing some car collector spirit like in previous instances .
It would be great to be able to use different move techniques. For example Farpoint utilizes type of moving where you can move only forward and backward. Direction is made by headmove. It’s true that in Farpoint you usually go in one general direction with few head corrections, but I can imagine being able to fluently go forward and backward, switch general directions on controller and make corrections with head. It should be much better then simply switch positions.
It should launch along revised vr headset (wireless, 4K) and with bc. I expect also original vr headset to be compatible. 3-4 years for revised headset seems ok. Og headset can be sold with updated hdmi2 box for 200usd.
Salt and sanctuary motivated me to pickup bloodborne, so I started it on Friday . It's great game . I really don't know if I will be able to finish it lol but it seems nice. You know .... you have to master your weapon , running and shooting around is not enough. And that's something what is not seen in nowadays games.
@BAMozzy after playing salt and sanctuary , I can imagine 3D->2D game conversion can work . I also thought that in 2D you are so much limited ...... but it's not true.
@Carl-G exactly! )) last January I bought PS4 and t300rs wheel in waiting for gt while announced for early beta. Now 14 months after beta really came lol
I couldn't resist in the end mainly because I thought it would be good idea to support guerilla games . So I bought day one deluxe edition. And I don't regret it. It's great game!
Oh no.....Just bought watch dogs 2 in GAME shop in exchange for few old games . Great deal but it consumes all my time . I love it , did all side missions. It's so much better than wd1. Also have to go through witcher 3 datadisks.....and then this. Why Sony why ? There's no time left in my life for anything else then playing and doing my job! Gosh!
And I didn't mention that we are rebuilding our flat and second baby is coming. Oh no I need to figure out how I can live without sleeping ))))
@Giygas_95 Hi its now in second phase. According to earlier experience with betas, it usually takes around 2-4 weeks to go public. But boost mode seems to me like most "dangerous" feature - for Sony. If someone doesnt use it right (like turn it on and doesnt know what its doing) and isnt familiar with ps4 settings, this feature can compromise your gaming and then people can start to complain. I have no negative experience with it so far (only positive ), but few games have some glitches as you can read elsewhere.
And because of this feature I can imagine it will take longer to go public. JC3, GTA V and also Witcher 3 are really better now - and of course - not only frame rates but also loading times - and that is really crucial when you always are beaten to death and dont want to lower difficulty.
@ApostateMage Just only datadisks. But they are lenghty arent they? I completed original part of the game this January (started last year on March) It was very long And yes, I love Witcher. I also tried Dragon age but never get in love with it although on ps3 I loved DA:Origins
Maybe it's not game changer but believe me for example witcher 3 and just cause 3 are much more enjoyable. If I should recommend PS4 it will be definitely pro version. Boost mode is something I hoped for from the beginning. With it pro makes finally sense.
Continue through story in watch dogs (1) in boost mode , so game is much smoother. I'm really enjoying new features from 4.50 firmware . For me best feature set from all updates on PS4.
@BAMozzy yeah exactly! These features from the start could mean higher sales. But it's strange Sony hadn't promoted these features earlier. Like if they didn't want pro to overwhelm slim sales. Assuming Microsoft shouts everywhere Scorpio this and Scorpio that, it's strange sony even denied psvr 3D bluray support and didn't shout these new great features (boost, bluray, ext hdd), although they must have know it then. Sometimes I really don't understand Sony quietness. Maybe they are playing that type of game "we don't need to shout and market new features because we are on top and of course we have best features". Really I'm little confused about that.
@b1ackjack_ps in boost mode noise and heat levels are subjectively lower then in true pro mode. Tried few games so far and it's really good job from Sony .
@BAMozzy I think they planned it from beginning but couldn't make it for holiday launch. I think there can be some problems with games that use low level API. And they couldn't handle it properly. They had to rewrite low level API for ps4pro to handle same code on different frequencies of all components... imho . Otherwise they could turn it on from the beginning. Maybe Sony needed to make more tests on games to be sure there aren't big glitches on the way.
Oh guys, the bluray 3D mode is absolutely gorgeous on psvr! Really 100% better than on 50" 3D tv . If you are fan of 3D movies , this is definitely a way to go ! Now it's first time for me to get some really good 3D movies
Wow, Wow and wow ! This is what I was dreaming about! Bluray 3D in vr, pro in all games and external disk (I solved this already with purchase of seagate firecuda 2TB).
Great job Sony! I'm going to try it today ( beta 2).
It would be interesting if this is divided by number of consoles sold. Because of majority console players have PS4 , PS4 will be always on top with its huge leap in sales.
