@Grahamthecracker, thanks for the tip. Always been interested in the games because of the universe they’ve built. But it’s on a long list of games I’ve never got round to as something else has caught my eye or I just haven’t the time.

Never played any of the injustice games as I’m not normally any good at fighting games, but it’s Batman Vs Superman got to give that a go!

Not interested in multiplayer, hoping that the single player campaign is substantial. I wonder if they will include B Wings and Tie Defenders?

I think the disk drive version will be £499.00 / $499.00 with the all digital being more subsidised and coming in between £350 - £400 / $350.00 - $400.00. Sony know they’ll be able to recoup some of the initial loss on digital game sales

I just brought Spider-Man and The Last of Us in the last sale! While my 4Tb external hard drive can keep up, my wallet and the amount of gameplay time can’t

If like me you are looking to get into VR and live in the UK, then I think the best deal is from Game.co.uk. For £209.99 you are getting the Mega Bundle+Blood & Truth+RE7+Super Stardust VR and a 12 month Now Tv sub!!

Having just dug out my Gamevice MFI controller for my iPad, I can confirm that it seems MFI work with remote play.
Having tried remote play in the past using my Vita and an Xperia Z3 phone, so far I haven’t suffered from pixelated graphics or slowdown. I’ve used my standard stress test (Resogun) and the results are impressive so far.
The only caveats I have are: I was the only one on the home WiFi and that last time I tried it I didn’t have a Sky Q router.

As usual it comes down to the cost of the games. Unless there is a sale on the digital store fronts, you can get most games cheaper physically.

I can understand why almost all software is purchased digitally, the PSN store sales which happen now on a regular basis and to be honest the blu ray disc is only used aa validation key once the game is installed on the PS4 hard drive. With the limited time I have for gaming I can wait for the game digitally to go on sale, and hopefully by then any performance issues have been patched

@WanderingBullet, I watched a bit of the Eurogamer live stream and Ian had already stated that he had spent around three hours alone on the demo!

This is going to be such a time sink, already spent 1 1/2 hours on it. Like others have said I do find it strange that they mapped jump to O, it feels strange.

I gave the demo a go at Insomnia 58 back at the end of August. I loved it and so did the kids, the crafting mechanic worked well. Hopefully it will get favourable reviews.

PS4; Ratchet & Clank
3DS; Etrain Odyssey 2 Untold: Fafnir Knight

@wiiware, my impression is that PSVR is not completely sold out and Sony are holding stock back as I was promised last week at Insominia 58 launch day delivery if I ordered one there and then on the PlayStation stand. The only things that stopped me was the price and more importantly the other half!

Had a go on PSVR last weekend, was hoping for Battlezone but got VR worlds instead! I was really impressed with the level of immersion and how comftable the headset was. Didn't have any issues with the images and it works a lot better than 3D does on my 3DS.
It needs some system sellers for it to really take off as the price of entry is quite steep. Also is Sony going to throw its full weight behind it and support it even if sales are not great to begin with? Or will it get the Vita treatment?

Still playing Witcher 3 and still moping up secondary contracts and quests in Velan.

Witcher 3, finished the main quests in Velan and looking to complete the secondary quests before heading into Novigrad. Between this and family life I don't think anything else will get a look in!. Still got Fallout 4 and Uncharted Collection still in their wrapping!

The Witcher 3; After last weeks frustration and learning the importance of meditation and crafting my trip around Velan is now more enjoyable!

@sub12, I wouldn't say getting side tracked itself is an issue. What did annoy me was that I started the Wondering in the dark mission after meeting Kiera and I was woefully under prepared ( no potions and hardly any food). Ended up restarting from an earlier safe.
I would also say that the combat takes getting used to and I can't stress the importance of getting ingredients for potions etc. I would say that the crafting recipes in this are a lot more complicated than say Assains Creed Black Flag.
Currently playing the Bloody Baron mission (just played the Ciri story).
As a rule I love scifi and fantasy, just need to spend more time with it learning to get to grips with it.

More Witcher 3 for me, which I seem to be struggling getting into. Picked up Fallout 4 cheap so I might even start that.

Completed my first run through on Diablo 3, and now have started the Witcher 3.

Experienced no issues at all so far, but like some others only played around two hours since the update.

Picked up Diablo 3, Uncharted and the Witcher 3 in the Black Friday / December sales.

Currently starting act 2 on Diablo 3, might get round to starting Uncharted and The Witcher but can't see finishing any off them before well into the new year! and that's if anything dosn't catch my eye in the sales!

Happy Xmas gaming everyone.

I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed by the price of Dariusburst, £50 for a PSN only game is ridiculous and why is not cross buy?

Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil for PS4 is £13.99 on Amazon and £19.99 at Game

Vita: Velocity 2X
PS4: Transformers Devastation

I've also noticed that Super Time Force Ultra is on sale, might download that one too.

Need more details on the single player aspect, not a big online multiplayer kind of guy, but it's Star Wars and I love Star Wars

Well that's my enthusiasm blown out of the air lock, not to sure about this now

The lack of backwards compatibility with previous Guitar Hero games plus this full motion video style game play means I will most likely make the jump to Rock Band.

I mean FMV I are we back in the 1990's?

Here is what I posted on Nlife:

I think the Nantwich Education Partnership could have tackled this differently.

About two years ago, the primary school my children go to sent a letter home to all parents warning about the effects of under age children witnessing / playing COD & GTA as these games were being acted out in the playground. The letter ended reminding parents of their responsibilities and no threats were issued at all.

Now as parent who has been gaming since the spectrum 48k!, I have grown up alongside the games industry and know how to set up parental controls on all devices. The Wii U & 3DS's are fully locked out and have age limits in place. The only thing that is missing is a timer that monitors gameplay and switches the game off automatically like the Kindle Fire.

There a number of 18 rated games in my collection (mainly PS4, but a handfull of Wii U), but these are played when the kids are in bed and my kids know that 18 rated games are for daddy only.

The problem comes when parents don't censor what their children are playing and watching and don't research how to put parental controls in place.

I know Game has a policy of not selling games to under age children as I have seen this put into practice on a number of occasions.

To be honest what we're discussing here is the same when the whole "video nasty" debate blew up in the 80's

Looks like a Sharpe reference to me as well in that tagline

Price will be very important and to my mind Morpheus cannot be more expensive than a PS4.
Then there is the games you are going to need a stellar list of must have titles that help to push the sales of the unit.
Is this going to be the next fad after 3D? Its a hard on to call at the minute

Loved Guitar Hero on the Wii, never played Rock Band looking forward to see how it develops

If free to play games become the norm then that will be my cue to bow out of gaming on current hardware and invest in retro gaming

Until full price digital games are no more expensive than their disc based counterparts then I might consider it but £60 for a digital game is ludicrous

Don't like the modern day stuff at all, Unity's approach worked the best in my eyes

The way Sony handled the pre launch period was a factor plus the wallet friendly price compared to a launch PS3.

The last factor was games, Sony exclusives plus all the multiplat games that will not get released on the WII U

Liked guitar hero on the Wii although it did not have as many tracks to download as the PS3 & 360. If rock band rumours are real might plump for that instead as I never played rock band

I did regret selling my PS3 at the start of this current hardware cycle, I don't know why as it seems most major releases are getting remastered.

It's half term holiday this week in my part of the UK, which means I'm off with the kids.

PS4: AC: Unity, Minecraft

WII U: MK 8, Captain Toad

@jmbenetti

I brought AC Unity in the Xmas sale from Amazon for £22 and by this time the 6GB patch had been released.

Like you needed to finish Black Flag first, and I have now spent around 20 hours playing Unity in its current patched state. So far I have seen one NPC stuck in a wall to a castle, the game has crashed on me once and froze briefly after returning from the map screen. But nothing as game breaking as previous versions so far.

Gameplay wise it's a very different beast to Black Flag, which I really enjoyed. While it's not as good as Black Flag or Brotherhood, it's a lot better than 3 and I would say it's closer gameplay wise to Brotherhood. You can hide behind objects and they have improved the Parkour which is really good once you get use to it. As usual finding myself getting sucked into things, the companion app you can get on Google or ITunes allows you to unlock extra chests and equipment.

Bottom line if you a fan of the series, I would buy it but for no more than £25.

This new gen is proving to be disastrous with new software launches that need patches required day one. Like others no longer prepared to pre-order, wait for the reviews and go from there.
After the fiasco of Unity's launch I wonder how many will now buy Victory at launch?

Very good looking visuals, looks more like a film than a videogame. Hopefully the gameplay can back up the visuals

Recently completed the first server bridge in Assassin Creed Unity, allowed myself to get sucked in oh well.

While graphics don't make a game, oh my goodness

Picked it up in Amazons Christmas sale for £22!!

Completed Assassins Creed: Black Flag, about three hours into Unity. Also have Captain Toad on the go as well.

Before plunging into Assassins Creed Unity, I'm going to finish Black Flag first, already racked up 56 hours on that sucker.

Also got Captain Toad on going with the WII U

@rastamadeus, the Nintendo Network Premium Points scheme only applied to the 32GB WII U, it was only a temporary scheme which ended on 31st Dec 14, you earned 8 points for every £ or € spent. Once you got 500 points you got a £5 voucher. People who still have unclaimed vouchers have until 31st March 15.
Sony's online account system is still light years ahead on Nintendo's though.

Like most people I would like to see folders included and also the ability to change my username I set up on the PSP.
