Topic: General PlayStation 4 Thread

Has anybody been able to claim Bugsnax for PS5 or any of the free PS Plus games this month for that matter?

They either still show full price for me or in the case of Bugsnax show no way to acquire at all.

@HungryHungryHomer I can’t say about the PS4 games but from this very website;

Bugsnax, the first PS5 game to be featured on PS Plus, will arrive alongside the next-gen console later this month. You'll be able to download it from the 12th November in the US, and the 19th November in Europe.

@crimsontadpoles I played Until Dawn, beat the game. I fell in love with the characters a little bit, and that felt more significant to me than the "scares" in that game. Anyway, there isn't much gameplay per se in Until Dawn, as you said, it is very much story-based compared to most games with only a little action sprinkled in throughout the game.

Not interested at all by realistic racing games.
I would rather pick Racing with Ryan / Big Bobby Car instead.
Cartoonish racing games are always be my choices.

@Arugula hey man. I have it downloaded but haven't fired it up yet. Probably just going to wait until Thursday to play it on the 5

@Arugula Will do!!

@Anti-Matter Did you like Diddy Kong Racing on the N64? I would love a remake of that game, minus the really hard races against a giant pig.

@JohnnyShoulder
I prefer Chocobo Racing PS1 instead.
I love that Final Fantasy music remixes on Chocobo Racing.

@Anti-Matter Really? I never played it myself, but I heard it was awful.

@Bentleyma-
Chocobo Racing was my teenhood game back when i was Senior High School student (20 years ago) and i played together with my sibling.
He likes to use Fat Chocobo as it has very funny squeak sfx as Fat Chocobo rides his tricycle. I still remembered his quote "Nyit Nyit's Revenge (He called Fat Chocobo as Nyit Nyit as from squeak sfx) is ready to blast on the next track". 🤣

About the game, i really love the music, the Best from Squaresoft back on that time.
The track designs somewhat tricky and not really beginner welcome but the Magic stones stacks was my favorite thing.
You can pick same Magic stones and it will be upgraded into 3 level magics.

(Copied from internet)
Haste - makes racers go faster. The higher the level, the longer the effect duration.

Fire - shoots a fireball in a straight line, which can miss. Higher levels will not miss, and Fira attacks one racer in front of the user, while Firaga attacks all racers in front of the user.

Blizzard - creates an ice sheet behind the user. Any racer that drives over it will spin out. Blizzara creates a large ice sheet which is hard to avoid, while Blizzaga causes all players to spin out of control and crash, stalling them. Flying racers are not affected by Blizzard and Blizzara.

Thunder - Thunder causes lightning to strike in front of a racer. Thundara causes three lightning strikes in front of a racer, while Thundaga strikes all racers.

Minimize - a small angel appears and reduces the size of all racers, slowing them down by 25%. The highest level reduces the racers' speed and size by 75%. If run over, a shrunken racer will be squashed, stalling them.

Reflect - deflects offensive spells back at the user. It is triggered automatically when a spell targets the holder, but it can also be activated manually to create a temporary Reflect shield. This Magic Stone does not level up.

Doom - a skull with a 10-second counter appears over the player. It can be transferred to another racer by bumping into them. Once the counter hits zero, the racer crashes. This Magic Stone does not level up.

Ultima - causes an attack that stalls all racers. The highest level stalls all racers much longer.

I will definitely choose Chocobo Racing over than Mario Kart 64 / Diddy Kong Racing as PS1 games was really shaped my teenhood.

Does anyone know if you can hook up the PS4 to the telly via the PSVR breakout box, HDMI cable only, not the USB cable, and still play regularly? Not talking VR.

@Octane Yep, it works fine, mine has been like that since I got PSVR.

@nessisonett Cheers. Just tested it out, and it works. My new TV cabinet has doors, and the PS4 won't fit with the USB cable plugged in the front. But it's good to know I can just take it out, and still leave the breakout box attached via HDMI.

I was thinking of buying Resident Evil: Code Veronica X ,as I completed it as a teenager and greatly enjoyed it, now, almost 20 years later, I would like to complete it again. Are any of you willing to keep me company on my journey? (those playing it or those who have completed it in the last year or so)

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I’m technically in the middle of a playthrough although I saved myself into a death loop so messed up my file. I’d need to start again but I’m far enough into my file that it’s just annoying!

@nessisonett Do you think you will ever go back to it then? In which case we could be Code Veronica X buddies, form our own mini-game club

@Draco_V_Ecliptic It would probably be in a while to be honest, I just beat Resident Evil 2 again so I’m all Resi’d out for now!

@nessisonett Do you think you will get Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 when it comes out?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Probably not, I’m not convinced that it’s worth playing the last-gen version with every single game over the years that I’ve got a last-gen version of. I just think it’s better if I wait for the PS5 port and honestly, I’m strangely not hyped for it at all. I dunno, it’s just been so long with delays and stuff that I’m kinda over it.

@WaveWitch DOOM 2016 was great as it was such a breath of fresh air after years of health regenerating, cover based shooters.

I recently played Eternal and it’s still great fun but a bit of a step backwards in some regards.

Do you have PSVR to try DOOM VFR on?
