@kyleforrester87 yeah, agreed on all points. I'll give it a shake and see how it goes. The only thing I've been vaguely concerned about was an eyes-on impression a few months ago, and apparently the game was totally naseua inducing. I'm sure they'll iron that out, but it'd suck for something as trivial as that to ruin the VR experience.
@kyleforrester87 is it really shoehorning it though? I love me some classic RE, but the newly adopted first person perspective fits VR perfectly, and takes "brown trousers time" to an entirely new level. I get that it could probably have been marketed as a new IP, but I remember similar arguments when 4 was revealed which was a dramatic change as well. You never know, when we play it it could feel very like it's predecessors in terms of aesthetic. Either that or it'll be Codemned 3 and you can tell me to bugger off
@Neolit I'm with you. Since the warranty having expired I dismantle mine once a month and blow all the crap out that collects in there. It stays whisper quiet and takes about 5 mins to do.
@get2sammyb I know, right?! Amidst all the negativity, does any of it really matter? They've got a huge number of consoles out there already, and now they're poised to release an upper and a lower tier product to cater for more. It's not even like the Pro is THAT expensive that it'll become a niche product.
Yeah, it sucks that it's missing some aspects, but I still think Sony is going to walk away with this given the lead it already has. It's just reassuring that someone has similar sentiments given the overwhelming backlash!
I'm massively excited. But then again I've played with VR and have an idea what I'm getting into. The prospect of what developers could do with this tech is fantastic.
@Boerewors I'm pretty excited too, have been sInce the Type-0 demo. I just REALLY want it to be good... considering the foundations and the development time it'd be tragic if it was terrible. Have you seen Kingsglaive as of yet?
@dryrain I'm not sure I entirely agree with you here. I live on the top of a Welsh mountain lined by two valleys. The only things surrounding me are sheep, trees, and the occasional incestuous cannibal. Saying that, I still get speeds of 30MB-50MB and PS Now works like a dream. Maybe I'm just lucky
@fybyfyby @get2sammyb thanks for the info, chaps. I think this and Battlezone will keep me entertained on day one. I'm pretty excited now for the launch! September will be a slog with all the overtime but it'll hopefully all be worth it!
I got it. To any UK customers, the PS4 discounts for SFV and Megaman Legacy Collection don't work in our country
Edit... now that I've come back and read the full article I realised pushsquare already said this, and totally had my back... damn you excitement. Damn you to hell.
Well, considering the guy on Gumtree is flogging it for £259, I'm presuming the retail price will be around there if not far lower. Normally leaked nuggets like these tend to turn a pretty penny, so I was pretty surprised it was going for as low as it is.
Sold. Even if it is a glorified tech demo on rails or whatever I'd happily stump up for something like that. If anything because I'd be a dream come true for my middle daughter 😆
I like the idea of these games, then I play them, get incredibly irritated by the controls and mechanics and lose interest. The constant countdown thing puts me off as well; I'm a "comber" who likes to take his time, Capcom!
Christ, the overwhelming majority of digital games recently have been pretty substandard. I like a AAA title as much as the next game buff, but I also appreciate the bite size nature and pick up and play nature of a lot of digi titles. Disappointed.
I bought 2 Move controllers from CEX the other day for £20. It's hardly a ridiculous expense. I get that some people won't want to shell out any more than necessary, but still, as a working man that's a minor expense for me.
When they announced Scorpio at e3 (for 18 MONTHS in the bloody future!!), I personally interpreted it as desperate willy waving. I think ps4 is too much in the lead for MS, Scorpio or not, to catch up. With the PSVR and Neo (supposedly) also launching shortly and VR being a hot trend, I think that those two things alone will catapult them well into the lead by holiday 2017. By the time Scorpio comes out it'll all be moot.
@gbanas92 same as me, I blew off that thick layer of dust and fired it up. It's great, but I think I prefer Limbo. The vague plot narrative of that game and overall aesthetic just appeals to the general weirdo in me.
@blakey78 me too. I've pretty excited about the whole thing. Having had a taste of VR goodness on a mates devkit Rift I've at least got a vague idea of what to expect. The only thing I'm torn about at the moment is what software to buy. RIGS looks great but I dunno if I'll have the stomach for it! High times indeed!
Hey, I'll be honest, I played this originally in my student days when my state of mind was hazy at best, I've no doubt that this contributed towards my enjoyment. However, I'm still very looking forward to giving it a crack in VR!
I tried VR porn on the rift, and it is.... odd. Considering you can't feel the heat or breath of a woman who is SOOOOOOO close to you, it's little bit like being molested by a cyber ghost. I'm still undecided if it's for me tbh.
Funny you should post this, cos I got an Amazon preorder down LITERALLY the moment they went live, so I was confident that I'd have a unit on launch day. Yesterday however, I got an email from Amazon saying they had no idea when the shipping date would be now.

Re: Oh Dear, The Last Guardian Delayed into December on PS4
That's a good thing for me. October 28th had Titanfall 2, Skyrim and The Last Guardian all releasing simultaneously!
Re: Uncharted 4's PS4 Slim Bundle Is An Absolute Steal

Re: PS4 Pro Confirmed, Launches November 2016 for $399
I'm in, if anything for the upgrade in VR performance. Well excited.
Re: Store Update: 6th September 2016 (Europe)
@dryrain yeah, I've had it in pc for years, but I had zero clue that it was being ported to consoles. Excited!

Re: Compete for the Mechanized Combat League Championship in RIGS on PS4
My only concern with this game is that it'll be a nausea-fest. I've got pretty good VR guts now, but this does look a bit frantic.

Re: Video: Wallrun Away with Some Titanfall 2 PS4 Gameplay
@Dan_ozzzy189 I'm not a fan of COD games in the slightest, but the mechs in this game really make it fun. Give it a shake.
Re: Gamescom 2016: DriveClub VR Looks Really Bloody Good on PS4
I can talk or leave a lot of realistic racers. I've got driveclub for instance but have barely it's surface... that however, looked INCREDIBLE.
So is this a completely standalone release, or can existing DC owners upgrade or something?
Re: Gamescom 2016: Sony to Publish Boxed Version of the Brilliant Battlezone

Re: Gamescom 2016: The Tomorrow Children Goes to Work from 6th September
I tried the beta and like the idea of it, but it was a bit confusing for my tired and unreceptive brain. I'll probably just wait for it to go F2P now.
Re: Store Update: 16th August 2016 (Europe)
Every time I see 7 ways to die, I just think of Megadeth's 99 ways to die. Except a rubbisher version.
Re: Video: Have a Gander at PS4 Firmware Update 4.00's Features
I signed up for the beta and usually get in, but nothing from Sony as of yet. I actually hope to get in on this one, some of these changes look great.
Out of interest, do we know when this will be out for the public?
