The new price at that moment in time isn't worth what's being offered by what we know, but you need it to play online multiplayer. Then again, they can charge what they like as it is their service.
Either way, I recommend stacking up for the current price before the end of August.
@rjejr The lowest price according to Pricespy is found at Smyths Toys for £30, they have three stores in London, where Xenoverse 2 is sold out... So I'll give it a while and buy it from the second cheapest.
Uncharted 4 is a wild ride, Survival brought me back.
I'm having issues finding Dragonball Xenoverse 2 for a good price. AmazonUK don't have it, seems to not only be sold out in three local stores but still sold at a high price. That was my Christmas game.
But now its Uncharted 4: Survival and newly bought Mafia III. Maybe I fit in Destiny somewhere.
@rjejr Have I missed something? When did you get a PS4?
@Flaming_Kaiser Exactly. I remember playing True Crime New York City on PS2, that game just didn't work at times. If a game released in this day and age in that state, it would not stay like that for long.
Love it or hate it, I would much rather have a game working or at least fixed at some stage than not at all.
@DLB3 That's the only bar for which they can be judged...
Another way I could phrase that is: better Bend Studio take the reins than someone who isn't passionate or hasn't developed at title in the franchise before.
As much as we have valid reasons (Kojima isn't one) to hate Konami, this phrase "Why does it exist? Other than to reuse assets, of course." can be applied to so many spin offs set within the same universe...
I would mention Red Dead R: Undead Nightmare (but R* are another league). Hate the game for it is, don't hate it for what's it's not (Not Solid) or just because of some petty nonsense such as Hideo Kojima Game. MG spin offs have existed before.
@rjejr Well I can't take all the credit, Sony got that trigger finger. Oh yeah, that reminds me of the NX, still being a thing in six months apparently.
@Royalblues This game has hype? WHERE? WHOOOOOOOOOOOO? I was under the impression that this and Gravity Rush 2 were so below the radar, you'll need a microscope to find it.
To this day, I'm still struggling to understand as to why a man holding a baby gained such attention. Has no one stepped outside? Anyway, always nice to hear nothing about Death Stranding.
Personal Viewpoint aside, the PS4 family will do very well this Christmas. 4K adoption isn't high enough to signal any significant investment in. Pro is a stopgap until the next gen, Slim is a replacement and As for VR, Can't tell if it's Move 2 in regards to adoption.
I expected Slim & Pro and nothing more, so it did in fact deliver. There was nothing to suggest beforehand that the meeting was going to be some big thing.
@Dodoo @Neurotic_Biotic @sub12
My controller is dead after 10 months, at first I thought it had something to do with the PS4 but my Blackberry & Iphone are charging fine...
So yeah, better battery.

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Quest XI Almost Hits 1 Million in Less than a Week on PS4
I expected the 3DS DQ XI to completely eclipse the PS4 one in sales, didn't think it would be that close given the gap with install base.
So approximately 20% of PS4 owners own this game, 1 in 5. Great hardware boost too.

It's a mixed problem.

Re: FFS! Sony's E3 2017 Press Conference Schedule Hasn't Leaked

I mean sure 11 of out those titles are guaranteed to be shown, anyone can make that guess. Where's Knack II?
Re: Soapbox: Horizon: Zero Dawn Has Me Even More Hyped for Death Stranding
Call me in a year. When nothing turns in something (and I'm being optimistic here).
I would partly agree with this soapbox, if you added a 'potential' at the end of the title. Remaster in a year and you could drop it from the title.
Re: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Body Slams onto PS4 This Summer
That's very soon for a release date, but it's much better than the alternative.

If I laugh harder any harder, I'd wet myself.
Switch is no go for anyone outside Nintendo.
Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn's Impressive Weather System Was Once Much More Dangerous

Re: February PlayStation Plus Games Revealed
@Flaming_Kaiser
A retail game? Memes? Or Sons?
I'm not too sure what your list entails, there's only one right answer...
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Resident Evil 7 Doesn't Quite Kill It
To be fair, this is a huge deviation (albeit well received one) from the pre-established formula...
And for a lack of a better word, it lacks an eastern flair.
Re: February PlayStation Plus Games Revealed
Look son, a retail AAA game...

Yeah I almost forgot this event was a thing, it not being in the UK didn't help either.

Pfff, It's not even a game at this point: which makes it even more ridiculous.

This conference won't change my sleeping patterns.
