Star Trek Bridge Crew Gets Non-VR update

https://news.ubisoft.com/article/star-trek-bridge-crew-now-pl...

@Tasuki if you could find out where this goes it would be appreciated as i think some people would like to know

@FullbringIchigo It would probably go under the PS4 section as ts own thread since I don't believe there is a thread about it already.

@Tasuki ok thanks

Can anyone remember the name of a game Sammy did an article about (probably around 6 months ago, maybe longer) about an upcoming dungeon crawler co-op game that had a somewhat cartoony art style (lots of vibrant greens, pinks and blues irrc) and had an old school zelda vibe? Been searching the net for fricking ages and can't find anything

@bbtothe That could be several different games - was it Japanese or Japanese inspired? Isometric (Diablo 3 style) or top down (like Zelda on Gameboy)? Pixel art? Single player and/or co-op?

There is these that I found:-
Riverbond
Wizards of Legend
Happy Dungeons
Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku!
Nine Parchments - probably the closest I think to your vague description.
AereA

Maybe its not one of these but these are the few I have found...

@BAMozzy it would be Western made I would guess, top down. Certainly not pixel art, something kind of like cuphead but more vibrant and modern. Not sure if single player but the video and article led towards co-op play as the focus.

found it - The Swords of Ditto

@bbtothe actually top down - like the old Zeldas or more 'isometric view' like Diablo 3?

Have you checked out the list of games I provided?

Super Dungeon Bros and Happy Dungeon are the two that spring to mind.

Edit: Didn't even think of that one...

Nightmare start to the year.
Was out all day yesterday, whilst we had visitors at home.
They tried (unsuccessfully) to get the VR set up and in the process somehow 'broke' the PS4.

Woke up this morning to find the PS4 in safe mode, wanting to download the latest update from playstation.com for re-installation...

@Fight_Teza_Fight yeah that's why i don't let ANYONE touch my stuff

@Fight_Teza_Fight Ooow... that sucks. I guess those guests are never invited back again ;P That’s bad luck, man. Maybe this means the rest of the year will only get better for you. I hope you can fix whatever they broke.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Yikes, sorry to hear that. Have you got it sorted out now?

@Quintumply well i hope he has, it can be really disheartening when someone else breaks something of your beyond repair

@Fight_Teza_Fight IF you can't repair it you should make the people who broke it buy you a new one, that's what i did when my sister broke my PSP, i literally marched her into the local ARGOS and made her buy one

on a side note she NEVER touched anything of mine again without asking first

@FullbringIchigo @Th3solution @Quintumply Thanks for your concern guys. It's been stressful, but my PS4 is back up, although my download list is currently sitting at a whopping 57 items... .
It'll take a month to download everything back onto my PS4 & it seems like I've lost my capture gallery, but at least I've been able to upload my save data from the cloud.

I've been playing SkyrimVR so I'm glad I haven't lost that progress. I've stop-started that game 3 times before.

The visitors we had over, were my brothers friends. He did ask me for permission before he used it. I just don't understand, how a bunch of 20 year olds were able to brick the system to the point were I had to reinstall the system software using a USB stick and repair my external hard drive.

@Fight_Teza_Fight were they drunk because i have seen people do a lot of stupid things when drunk (i used to work in a bar)

@FullbringIchigo We had lunch together, before I left to do the New Year's rounds. Only one of them drank and in general they are a fairly civil bunch.

Definitely the last time I'm letting anyone use the PSVR when I'm not present.

It's really strange. I don't think I could break the PS4 the way they did if I tried, without resorting to physical damage.

@Fight_Teza_Fight if anything it sounds like they somehow corrupted the data on the HDD, the only way i can think of that happening is if they tried to install something on it they wasn't meant to

either that or somehow the system software had become corrupted but i don't see how connecting the VR headset would do that

@FullbringIchigo Yeah I don't get it either. I've quizzed my brother about it, but he doesn't know what happened.
He came clean earlier and said the PS4 stopped working and he couldn't get it to restart.
I'm just glad I've still got my save data.

@Fight_Teza_Fight that could have been it, if it crashed and he didn't power it down properly it could have corrupted the system software or the HDD

@Fight_Teza_Fight Yes, the cloud is a lifesaver for game saves.
When my first PS3 died I didn’t have the save data backed up and I went through all kinds of crazy things to revive it long enough to download the data to a USB drive before it died again.

@Fight_Teza_Fight I’m glad you’ve been able to restore it! A weird scenario but at least your saves weren’t lost. Annoying having to re-download all your games, though - some of them are ridiculously large these days.
