Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Th3solution Just explore as you see fit and if you feel like you're done with an area move on to the next one, you'll back track a lot later on in the game if you're enjoying it enough, and there is a lot you will miss in each area during the first pass through as well. It's a zen platformer so shouldn't be a stressful experience!

street fighter V arcade edition

@Ralizah Im surprised by that too. Very surprised.

Personally with it all fitting together like a glove and more if you dig far enough Fez is a revelation. Theres a limited intro phase and then you have to piece everything together yourself. I quite like that about fez, the witness and statik.

Glad you're coming around on it!

It has the best story and ending of all the Arkham games, imo. I still prefer Asylum overall for its slower, more Metroidvania-esque gameplay, but I think AK really nailed the open world Batman thing.

@Tjuz Glad your enjoying it! I've started it too but only upto episode 3 in chapter 1. Not come across any glitches yet but have heard it is suppossed to be quite bad. I might be getting mixed up but i thought this was an updated engine? Game of Thrones i found quite bad on a technical level but Borderlands i found fine.

Started Assassin's Creed Origins tonight. I have had a mixed relationship with the AC series. I thought AC and AC II were ok, I enjoyed them for what they were and all but nothing to write home about. Never played Brotherhood and really didn't enjoy the series till AC III and IV which before playing Origins were my favorites. But I will say the time I spent on Origins tonight I enjoyed immensely. I loved how they went for a more RPG feel with this one. I think taking that year off was a smart move.

This game will keep me busy for awhile.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven!

Never read the manga, never watched the anime.
Saw a bit of gameplay and thought I might like it. Turns out I was right.
I don't even know how I would describe this game. It's just so ridiculously over the top.
It's one of those games that are impossible to recommend (outside of fans of the show), but if you like it, you'll love it.

ORA ORA ORA!

Started playing Street Fighter V following the Arcade Edition update. Took two years but it's now finally up to par with what I expect from the series.

I finally beat Ratchet & Clank (PS4) recently, there were alot of funny and nostalgic moments for sure, and the story was surprisingly good for a remake.

Now I'm currently playing inFAMOUS: Second Son (PS4), loving it! Best PS4 game I've played so far .

I decided to to give Warframe a go as I've heard good things about it since the last update. I'm enjoying it so far, really like the mobility of your avatar with you wall jumping and running.
I have been impressed with it graphically. It's no Destiny but I'd imagine it has a smaller budget, but better than Elder Scrolls Online which I thought looked like a last gen game.
The combat feels good with a nice weight to everything. My only complaint so far is that the levels are a bit sparse with not many enemies and not much variation, but I am only on the third level so that could improve.

@KratosMD World 1 and 2 are great. Will be interested to hear your opinion of the later levels. Just my opinion of course, but I thought that things took an unfortunate nose dive!

I beat inFAMOUS: Second Son, just need to replay it as Evil in the future when I run out of games to play.

Started playing Amazing Spider-Man 2 next, haven't gotten very far.

@KratosMD Yeah Rocket League is alot of fun. I still need to redownload it myself since I have yet to do it since I upgraded my HDD. Then again I am also tempted to get it for Switch so I can play with my friends who have Xbox One's.

Started Secret of Mana tonight with my son. As remakes got this one is done very well.

@KratosMD Cross-play isn't something that Sony want to offer... Yet. I can see their point of view as online does have 'terms and conditions'. If someone on say Switch or Xbox breaches Sony's Terms and Conditions, then how do they police that? I don't think there is 'cross-platform' party chat so not sure how communication works - if at all.

If someone is 'cheating' or using foul and abusive language (assuming you can hear those on other platforms), you can't report them to Sony and they can't 'ban' others. MS seem to be moving more into the Xbox becoming a console/PC hybrid and trying to merge the two together as one big MS ecosystem. I can see more games, not just MS games (like Forza, Halo, GoW etc) being cross-platform. They already have the cross-platform party chat.

What surprised me though was Nintendo jumping on board. They are more traditional and 'closed' - at least have been. They are very protective over their properties and don't like gamers uploading 'lets plays' or showing their official game clips without permission. Therefore it was a surprise to me that games like Rocket League and Minecraft are cross-play on Nintendo.

Not playing those games myself, I don't know quite how it works. Whether you can find people on separate consoles or not or whether its just expanded lobbies. I guess with Minecraft you can search for their world but I expect you would need something like skype to communicate.

@KratosMD You've reminded me that Omega Collection is yet another game that I'd like to get back to. Played through the 2048 season and pretty much forgot to go back.

There are some pretty tough trophies in the Vita version - which I assumed are the same. Obviously not impossible - but you've got to be pretty Zen to get the lot I reckon.

Check out some of the Zone game play on YouTube - it is ridiculous.

@KratosMD Yeah, the 2048 tracks are generally wider and slightly more forgiving than most of what's in HD. I recall an interview with a developer saying that they had the Vita screen size in mind and didn't want to make tracks too narrow. All of the HD tracks were from previous WipEout games. Loads from Pure/Pulse.

Zones are crazy. I can do Ok once I've had a few days to bed back in to it.

I hope you can sink your teeth in to it. Other than Fusion & 64, it's always been a really satisfying franchise.
If you ever have the opportunity to play Wip3out - I suggest you do. Relatively late in the PS1 lifecycle - but amazing design work.

Playing through Dragons Dogma at the moment, and just purchased Burnout Paradise, so will be playing through that as well.

I dropped Amazing Spider-Man 2 and beat inFAMOUS: First Light.

I've been playing Horizon: Zero Dawn for 2-3 weeks and can't stop playing it .

@ToddlerNaruto I loved First Light. Really enjoyed Second Son too. Did everything apart from the paper bits.
Playing evil was great fun!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 was actually pretty enjoyable. Fairly easy plat too.
