This game is AMAZING. I look forwarding to playing it all day at work.. I haven't had a game like that in a while.

@LaJettatura Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but there isn't any paid DLC or day one DLC. There's going to be a bunch of 'free' stuff in the future.

Eh, can kinda agree I guess. I'm still happy with the quality of PS4 Pro games, but I'm excited for PSVR improvements.

Also, he's primarily a Nintendo guy now right? Hard to be excited about PS4 -> PS5 when the Switch is more inline with PS3.5. The PS5 isn't likely to add anything novel (except improving VR probably), just improve on a great formula. Sony got out of the gimmick market.

Sick. Can't wait!

I've been waiting so long for this game, but I hope it's not 'too old' at this point.

@turntSNACO For whatever reason, I really don't like BL2. I'd take the Pre-Sequel over 2 any day. Neither are great like the original, but 2 feels like a walking simulator to me. I spent more time traveling around than shooting things in the face..... the DLC in 2 is fantastic though.

For some users, it's probably better if they don't go crazy advertising it yet. Some of their streaming data centers are absolute garbage. Even with a 1-2ms dual gigabit fiber connection, it tells me MY speeds are too slow most of the time. When it does work, the latency is generally too high for anything short of a turn based RPG.

Don't forget to push the 6 button three times.

The temperature and air makes sense, but I just can't see smell working or working well enough to justify the added complexity. Of all the senses, smelling is probably the most difficult to trick.

Dolby Atmos please. I'm not sure if it's exactly the same, but the 3D audio in VR games doesn't seem all that impressive to me, and I'm pretty picky about audio.

In general, I hope the audio quality is a step forward. For whatever reason, audio on PS3 sounds better to me than PS4

The Talos Principle would be cool. I missed the sale

@3MonthBeef Started with 3. I probably played Code Veronica on Dreamcast the most though. 7 is my favorite, but some of my best coop gaming memories were playing 5 and 6 with my brother.

I think the people who claim 6 is terrible are saying it's terribly nothing like 1-3. 6 itself is still a fun game... again, in my opinion.

Eh, I still really liked RE6. Really solid coop game all around too. Not really sure I understand why it's popular to hate on it.

Man I hope this 8k fad dies faster than HD DVD. It's stupid and 100% marketing trash

Reddit called me crazy for saying this game should have a flat option as well.... yet here we are.

@NoxAeturnus Pretty sure that's still at least 1080p :X

Seems about right to me. I wouldn't have expected it to transfer if it's similar to 4 golden. The entire new character story wouldn't work depending on where your imported save is.

Really looking forward to this one. I'm about halfway into my 2nd playthru, but holding off to replay this version.

Can we pool our resources to get Crush 40 on the OST?

Blood and Truth + Sonic Racing for me, but both are heavily depending on reviews. Blood and Truth will probably be a bit of a flop and Sonic Racing can really go either way. Early previews were pretty rough

Sony really needs to find a way to make PS+ a valuable service rather than a 'monthly game subscription' because this has felt pretty cheap since they removed PS3/Vita. Neither of these games are bad, but they have been dirt cheap, so for the price of a couple of months of PS+, people could just OWN these games if they actually cared about them. If you don't care about either (like me), you're just out of luck.

Very disappointed. I've been subbed for 10 years now, but they aren't making it easy. Price hikes, less games, less value, etc.

For me, a 7/10 is a 'wait for sale', only because there are usually plenty of games I can play in the meantime. 9 or 10/10 are drop all other games and play before the internet ruins it with spoilers.

I always felt this would be a little too hyped compared to the final product.

It seems like a game I'll love, but maybe not at release/full price.

That Zone of Ender game. Demo was cool and a full VR/flat switchable game seems awesome. Just not sure I'm sold enough to buy it.

I'm still hoping for a FFXIII trilogy for PS4. Hoping, not expecting.

I expected no less from Ed Boon.

Pretty cool news for me! I loved this game on the original Xbox. It probably hasn't aged well though.

Still waiting for JSR Future though.

I gave it a few hours yesterday. Personally, I couldn't call it 'back to it's best', but it's certainly a fun EDF game. It's hard to compare it to EDF 5 since they are such different games, but the latency and 'feedback' of Iron Rain certainly put a huge damper on my enjoyment levels. I can certainly recommend EDF5 at full price, but probably not this one. Some very cool/interesting additions though!

Can't wait to play this when I get home. I hit 64% on EDF5 last night, so I still have a lot of work left on that one..

Also just incase anyone was wondering, you can chant IRON RAIN just like EDF. Go ahead and try it

Maybe they are doing xbox live silver vs gold or something where Plus is free and Plus Plus would have the features of plus plus plus plus features and cost money like Plus does now... Plus it's all a rumor....combined that plus how little sense a plus plus would make, it's probably all plus sized nonsense.

@SirSondox They didn't make that part very clear. They just said Vita/PS3 isn't supported, but they don't mention if they are affected.

My guess would be they aren't and those games will still use the hidden/old name since it seems they are keeping it in the database. I'm not risking my large Vita/PS3 library on an assumption though.

DMC5 soundtrack is so good... unrelated, but a new Children of Bodom album dropped a couple weeks ago and makes for amazing gaming music. Pairs great with EDF5

I think I've bought BL2 like 4 times by now. I do have to say, I don't like BL2 as much as the other two. To me, it feels like there's just so much down time in 2 compared to others. The DLC in 2 is amazing though!

DMC5 is just so amazing. I haven't tried any of the other 3 yet.

@Flaming_Kaiser Eh, it's win/win. Either more people get to enjoy Persona or we get to witness another nintendi-meltdown

EDF! EDF! EDF! I do have my reservations about this one though.

I remember how upset reddit was that R wasn't coming to Switch. I can only imagine how upset they will be if S isn't actually for Switch either.

At least I could type my password in a room full of people with that.

A+ article title. Didn't get my hopes up

The Surge is really a very fun game. It's probably my favorite souls-like game (still haven't gotten around to Nioh though).

Still a little sad we only got 2 games and still no VR title. Sony had to see this negative feedback coming, right?

I think this originally came out at a weird time? Maybe it was around the Vita launch or something, but I know I didn't get to give it nearly enough time. I enjoyed the setting and new mechanics a lot, but I also remember playing Black Flag and thinking how much more fun it was than III.

VR mode and I'll buy

Some people can't get past physical media still. I just don't see streaming being all that popular with the current market model of gaming. The market will need to change first (which is slowly moving to a subscription model anyways).

Otherwise, I could see it potentially being popular in a country a developed internet infrastructure, but not in the USA.

The demand for very high quality visuals will always be there anyways. Maybe not for console gaming, but PC gaming. A good comparison I'd throw out is cell phones vs proper cameras. Yes, many people think cell phone photos are good enough, but if you're used to modern DSLR/mirrorless cameras, the quality isn't even close.

VR? I hope so. BL2 in vr is nuts

@Matroska Network traffic is not affected by your DNS server provider after the initial 'request to download'. Once you are downloading the file, think of it as a pipe that's already been negotiated by the network providers. Unless you need a new pipe, you wouldn't need to check in with DNS.

The DNS server just converts readable names/FQDN into IP addresses and vise versa (www.pushsquare.com into 104.24.30.24).

Once you contact the download server and your DNS 'translates' the entry, the DNS is no longer used in the download unless your download server changes. Even still, we are talking seconds at a max for a DNS server to resolve. The primary function of using 1.1.1.1 on your PS4 is privacy. Secondary function would be faster initial loading of pages/features.

As @neolit mentioned in the last post: Any changes in real download speeds after updating your DNS would MOSTLY be from other variables. You can download the same 1gb file from the same PSN data center 10 times and get 10 completely different speeds. There's very little consistency within the PSN data centers.

@Matroska You should take those results with a grain of salt. For whatever reason, the PSN network test screen is all over the place no matter what.

Changing the DNS won't affect download speeds anyways. It only affects DNS returns which COULD have a minuscule effect on speed of the initial request to download. With normal/standard downloads, you aren't sending DNS queries when downloading files after your initial inquiry. . I still recommend everyone use 1.1.1.1 for privacy/security concerns. Plus, it's still one of if not the fastest DNS resolver out there. It will make your web browser feel snappier/faster, but it won't make your downloads any faster/slower really.

The pause/resume is usually just you connecting to a different data center. I don't think Sony does anything to load balance their connections, so sometimes you'll just connect to a 'slow' data center. I used to run a proxy server that would monitor the speeds of 3 different data centers and route my download traffic to the fastest (blacklisting the slow ones). Seems like overkill, but when I was getting 0.1MBps on my GIGABIT connection, it seemed pretty important.

Yes, personal network speeds/gear/setup is important, but the PSN services are so poorly setup in terms of optimal delivery. I can easily/consistently get 10-30MBps on Xbox/Steam, but I think my PSN downloads maxed out at maybe 10MBps, and that was VERY rare. Typically I get 1-2MBps on PSN downloads.... (note: speeds monitored via router. rest mode makes no difference for me most of the time, it's just luck of the draw getting a stable connection FROM the hosted data centers)

Well jeez, I know what I"m playing this weekend

...it's devil may cry 5, but maybe this too

I would buy a disc-less PS5, but for me to invest in a disc-less ps4, it would need to do something my Pro cannot?

I'm still hoping PS5 supports UHD blurays though.

Realistically, I almost never played the PS3/Vita titles anyways. I would really like them to include something new though.... A PSVR game a month would be nice, but I can see why this isn't the most appealing since many consumers haven't bought into VR yet.

A free movie rental and/or PS Now game of the month would be neat.

I just want all this taken care of because I'm sick of hearing about it. There are times I wish more games had PC/PS4 crossplay, but that's about it for me.

If I had a guess, there's a license/money involved somewhere causing the issues. Technically, I'm sure it's as 'easy as flipping a switch'... after you paid for a license or something.
