Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@RogerRoger that would've made a great video!!

Are you now destined to spend the rest of your time with the game trying to recreate that race...?

Still never felt the need to share my or watch others 'game clips'. Its the gaming equivalent (as far as I am concerned) with the Facebook 'At starbucks having a coffee' - either bragging about the fact they are in Starbucks and/or doing something anyone can do if they wanted - most clips are still 'you had to be there' to fully appreciate. I never use 'Photo' modes either - unless I have to for an Achievement/Trophy (yes I am looking at you AC: Origins!!!) and it bugged me that 'others' photo's appeared on MY map!! How can MY Bayek have been doing what those 'photos' shown when I never did them?

Maybe its my age as it seems more like a youth thing...

@BAMozzy I've always appreciated the ability to screenshot/take video in a game.
It has for one thing, done wonders for the buying public and been generally a positive thing for games journalism; now - no matter how many 'favours' a publisher might throw at a reviewer for a glowing review/preview, some direct footage is never far behind.
Eliminating the need for specific video capture hardware and authoring skills is a very good thing.

I don't post loads - but the option is nice.

I threw up YouTube videos of my custom Resogun ships and bits and bobs of gameplay I thought was cool of a few things (most viewed I think is the Wonder Woman theme in Lego Batman 3, go figure).

I got to save and edit one of the best Street Fighter moments I'd had in ages and stick it on my phone to show anyone and everyone I possibly could.

I think it's a good thing. At its best it helps people connect and feel like a community - and take a bit of pride in their chosen hobby too... and show off, and gloat - because that's good too sometimes.

@RogerRoger AC: Origins isn't 'forced' - it just requires you to take 5 photos - each in a different region. The map isn't littered' with these either and you can turn them off but the fact that there is an achievement for taking a photo and they can appear on the Map is not great in my opinion...

@KALofKRYPTON I never said it was a 'bad' thing in general - its better to have and not want than want and not have! As far as 'professional' reviewer or Site manager - surely they would have something better than any in-built capture option. You don't want a 'Photo' mode with all those artistic filters, zooms etc specifically for a review as those are 'misleading' to the way the game is when played.

As I said, maybe its my age but I wouldn't share things like this, or any other hobby online at all. If I played a sport and had some method of posting the 'best' or even 'funny' moments during a match for example, I still wouldn't do. If I collected something, like stamps or other 'collectible' hobby, I wouldn't take photo's and post them on facebook. I would never show off photo's/slides of my holiday snaps...

If it came down to having more content or a photo mode, I wouldn't miss the Photo mode at all. If GTSport had put more time in making an offline career mode instead of making a photo-mode with backdrops, it would have been better - more cars too...

As far as I am concerned, the screenshot is 'dead' nowadays. The only reason they were so important in the past was to go on video game boxes and in the magazines because they can't show 'video's'. I never watch gamers just playing and the only video's are watch are pre-release or post-release information video's. Whether that's official/leaked game-play, helpful hints, tips or collectible location videos (no need to buy the Prima books anymore!). I can think of nothing more boring than watch someone else play a game I can play and certainly wouldn't want story spoiled.

I don't have issue with others that want to watch, record, capture and/or share and like I said, its better to have the feature and not need it than need the feature and not have it BUT I don't need it myself and have NO interest in capturing or sharing clips/photo's. I turned off automatic screen captures for trophies, deleted every Photo/capture and never waste time with the photo modes that could be spent actually playing the game instead!

@BAMozzy I have a hilarious/harrowing clip of driving along in first-person mode on GTA V, in which Lamar rings and Franklin answers, only to then hit another car and fly through the windscreen.

Being the responsible parent that I am, I will be showing it to my children to make them aware of the dangers of using a mobile phone while driving.

I just started Far Cry 5. I'm only an hour or so in but the opening 15-20 min was very good IMO.

Not really playing a whole lot on PS4 right now, just the occasional CoD: WWII game with some friends from work. Mostly been on the Switch with Skyrim.

Ni No Kuni 2 mainly but finding time for a Warframe session here and there.

Picked up MLB The Show 18 and Burnout Paradise. These will be taking up most of my PS4 game time until Yakuza 6 and God of War.

I bought Pillars of Eternity in the Easter PSN sale. I'm loving it's old school feel and moral choice features. The combat is very similar to DA Origins, which was brill.

Monster Hunter: World and also Street Fighter V once a week for the collaboration costumes.

@RogerRoger I hadn't played any telltale game since a wolf among us before I tried batman when I got it as a part of psplus games and I enjoyed it a lot. Since then I played tales from the borderlands which I also enjoyed.

@RogerRoger Sleeping Dogs was an underrated treat from last gen. Glad you're enjoying it!

Not having played any of them, then Yakuza 0 vs. Sleeping Dogs vs. GTAV ....which is best?

I'm surprised @RogerRoger has had time to play Sleeping Dogs with all the screen grabbing he has been doing!

Pork bun anyone?

Think I had a (albeit slow) rage quit on WipEout online last night

Playing Hitman, bought the GOTY edition in a sale a while back. I'm really enjoying the gameplay and the amount of content is going to keep me busy for some time.

Making progress in Burnout Paradise too, just obtained my class 'A' license and starting to know my way around Paradise City. Good fun!

@RogerRoger Well, was in a session that was pretty full for a few races. It was the only one racing 2048, but it was only C class - which is frustratingly slow, and the guy running the room would only cycle through 3 tracks. I won a couple, placed in a couple and did horrendously in a couple (due to the melee of being in a pack, of course ).
Also the whole room was racing Feisar, it was all very Euro!

I switched from Feisar to the AG Speed ship and took a couple of races. The guy running the session was the main competition and had a fondness for Downtown - which I beat him on in quick succession a couple of times. He moved the class up to A (giving no one chance to reconsider ships or leave the room) after the second time and started the race. I won again (within a hair), as soon as we got back to the lobby he buggered off

@Kidfried Barely scratched the surface. Spent a lot of time in the freeform training getting used to the gameplay and experimenting with different ways to tackle missions. I'm well prepared now and looking to start Paris tonight.

I'm playing a strange mixture of Burnout Paradise Remastered and Bloodborne at the moment. Once I finish one or the other (will likely be Burnout first!) I'll jump into Far Cry 5 properly.
