I'm so used to the picture (which is fine, and I spent a lot of time getting the settings right through AV forum and a few days of running the set without any adjustments) that I really don't want to have to replace it!
One of the advertised releases on the page is the 'Sound Pad for Playstation 4' through PlayAsia. (https://www.play-asia.com/sound-pad-for-playstation-4/13/70ctkz?affiliate_id=956097)
I checked out the listing... it's just a noise maker pass through for voice chat! You guys should absolutely buy one to test!
I have absolutely no need for a 'pro' controller or extra back buttons.
I have a decent fight pad should I feel the need, but the stock DS4 is fine by me.
Nice that there's a peripheral option, but I think as has previously been said, this is Sony's attempt at parity for the DS5 and any cross-gen games that could be in need of extra input from the DS4.
Oh cool.
I have the physical Vita version of the first. I know Happ had some issues with his distributors for the game, and the story behind the game's development was genuinely touching.
Glad there's more. I should probably go and actually go through the first game!
Stadia is a good concept. The things Google have claimed are completely viable. Their server-side knowledge is great and their api's run 80% of the internet and connected devices one way or another - they do have the technical chops to make Stadia a success. Unfortunately, the greed of trying to claw at the gaming market has manifested in a crap launch for an over-sold project. They've further hobbled their own product by limiting the range of compatible devices, limiting access, charging too much and not testing thoroughly enough.
I've no doubt at all, while being less immediately impressive, Xcloud will do great numbers. MS have the server-side technology nailed down, the stream is intentionally limited to 720p and they aren't selling it as better than that.
I think there is absolutely an appetite for what Stadia should be doing, but as a supplementary service - as a better version of remote play (like Xcloud).
Stadia on the whole, is just alright. The tech is alright, the experience generally seems to be alright, albeit with a few extremely bad experiences. Thankfully for Sony, MS and Ninty - Google have managed to execute an atrocious launch. It's unfinished, unappealing, expensive and not as advertised and I'm still - even having watched read and seen a friend's experience with one - completely oblivious as to who the target market is.
Those of us already well seasoned in our chosen 'eco-systems' - be it PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, PC all have better options that compete on the same ground that for the most part - don't require an additional purchase. Those people who don't - well, why would they be interested in Stadia anyway? And if they were - are they the sort who will have high speed internet connections, Pixel devices or even the inclination to buy in to a product that's at best still in its beta stages?
PS Now, Remote Play, XCloud, Switch, Shield/Steam Link etc are all far better options - regardless of how well they may or may not work.
Google are greedy. If Stadia had launched and 'just worked' as the adverts made out, and wasn't so expensive - the gaming world would be on fire right now - it would be a truly hot product. As it is, the launch was an unforced error, and they would be lucky to be able give Stadia away to a lot of people.
Through all of the coverage, there's something I don't think I've seen covered - can you play local co-op? I bet you can't!
Since it's already made all of the money in the world, is already on hits, can already be had for £13 from the store and Kratos is still on adverts all over the shop - I don't doubt this could be genuine!
Nice to see them push it a bit. It's still a bit of a swizz THAT of the phones, only older Xperias and new Android (and IOS) running the latest version can use it and connect DS4s natively.
It's nice to see that AC is well thought of again. Haven't played one since Black Flag, which I enjoyed but got completely side-tracked by life on the waves! (and the very good mobile app).
@Quintumply I've seen a lot of the Galaxy's Edge stuff. The 'build your own' sabers look, well - they look really crap! And huge!
I think you may have it the wrong way around though - I saw someone run through some saber customisation in Fallen Order. I'm certain you could build a/any/most saber from Galaxy's Edge in Fallen Order, but not every saber from Fallen Order in Galaxy's Edge. I just don't think they have that many physical options.
@carlos82 It'll be the form factor/connection that'll be proprietary. As with the Vita cards (which were micro SDs in all but shape).
The comparison is valid though. If the idea is to reduce cost by supplying a smaller SSD in the box - and given the goal of data streaming speed combined with bloating game install sizes, it's a fair assumption that the included SSD will fill up very quickly. Making a supplemental drive pretty much a necessity.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Celebrates The Rise of Skywalker with New Content
It is a good game, certainly a damned sight better than it was at launch.
I haven't played in a little bit - but that's mostly because the Starfigher Onslaught mode is still broken and has been for nearly 18 months.

Re: Uncharted Creator Amy Hennig Joins Skydance Media to Form New Game Studio

Re: Uncharted Creator Amy Hennig Joins Skydance Media to Form New Game Studio
Ellison is nothing but a cash-grabbing suit out to exploit whatever IP he can with a 'built in' audience.

Re: Rumour: Mysterious Cartridge Patent Looking More Likely to Be Modular SSD Storage for PS5

Re: Rumour: Mysterious Cartridge Patent Looking More Likely to Be Modular SSD Storage for PS5

It'll be the form factor/connection that'll be proprietary. As with the Vita cards (which were micro SDs in all but shape).
The comparison is valid though. If the idea is to reduce cost by supplying a smaller SSD in the box - and given the goal of data streaming speed combined with bloating game install sizes, it's a fair assumption that the included SSD will fill up very quickly. Making a supplemental drive pretty much a necessity.
Re: Rumour: Mysterious Cartridge Patent Looking More Likely to Be Modular SSD Storage for PS5
Totally plausible and a good idea.
As everyone has already noted - if these things turn out to be legit, they cannot be priced significantly higher than equivalent solid state memory.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Controller Removes Light Bar
@thefirst See, I really like that sort of thing.
I really like the face sign in feature through the camera which tracks the light bar colours when you have multiple controllers.
