ok i sneaked half hour on it at midnight, first impressions are why did this take sega 7 yes 7 years to allow this to come out? its brilliant i dont care that its not perfect lets face it sonic games are not perfect they have their little issues that dont sit well with everyone, but im a huge massive fan of what christian whitehead has done here its utterly brilliant possibly the best sonic game since sonic and knuckles even better than generations and i loved that game. Can someone explain to me what the blue rings are for ? I cant work that out at all
Brilliant review 7 hours to go till unlock then I'm playing it I'm old enough to have played the original Sonics on master system and mega drive on sonic day
@Dan_ozzzy189 i beg to differ ive had a razer keyboard for 10 years and worked fine and im a hard ass with my gear when it comes to online gaming and its never failed once touch wood so i think your suggesting this when infact if your buying the budget razer gear (sub 100 quid) then its usually a bit pants but the abover 100 quid gear is the dogs doo daas enough said really.
The last guardian thats all i wanted this year as I bought myself a ps4 pro to replace my ps4 last week and im working till tuesday morning being an adult sucks big time
Defo a great game however.... it needs desperately 2 and 3 to be remastered asap and tools of destruction that will look stupidly pretty on ps4 sorry but this is needed as these games sold shed loads on the ps3 sony needs to get an offshoot company to work on a reworked version of r&c2 and get it in production quickly
So far im not commenting until i finish the last guardian as i believe this year has knocked out some phenomenal ps4 games some that are genre defining and some that are imho generation defining and im happily going to say genre defining would be ratchet and clank it is perfect in every single way, and generation defining so far it looks like the last guardian it looks flawed but wow trico makes the game and the game is built around a interesting complicated but very disobedient animal in trico
@get2sammyb I started The Last Guardian yesterday and wow on ps4 pro its just a visual marvel love what I have played so far and trico is just like my dog adorable but a disobedient swine love it
Im working nights until tuesday morning then its a blatent Last Guardian fest on my nice new shiny ps4 pro, and I have to finish Deus Ex Mankind Divided and probably some destiny and probably pes2017 and then to bring in the new year some Knack cos well I can
bear one other thing in mind about this game most of the videos we have seen are in enclosed areas once your outside it looks unbelievable i watched sammy's video on his pre-review and was flabbergasted once you went outside and saw trico oustide it eyewatering (in a good way)
ok all df has really said is to get the best performance out of the game you need to have ps4 pro running at 1080p mode this will give best performance lol i watched the first videos regarding this as im actually interested in buying a ps4 pro this game looks nothing like a remaster game shall we take skyrim or the last of us as examples ??? I do believe this blows them both out the water I do believe sir you need to take a trip down to specsavers for an eye test.
I hate to say this but this game is a real reason to buy ps4 pro i own loads of games with ps4pro support but this game is just the tipping point for me
@BAMozzy it looks nothing like a ps3 game btw i think you will find most ps3 games were only 720p and im 100% sure this was pointed out that the textures are not indicitive of a game that is 720p so please carry on with your it looks like a ps3 remaster
@get2sammyb how long does it take to complete the game mate ? I am not too fussed but im holding off getting ffxv for this just goes to show the impact the game has had on me ive not played ICO or SOTC before but love games that have immesive relationships, im guessing this type of game will apeal to me being a dog lover and having a stupidly disobedient dog
@BAMozzy ok I am going to make a comment here take it as a criticism i dont care.... TLG looks great im getting it for christmas yes it was originally coded for ps3 however.... I bet if you rip apart the game itself it will be a ps4 game infact im completely convinced it was reworked due to the fact what they wanted to do with trico was not possible with ps3 architechture infact it wasnt possible with computing at that time. Take a PC from 10 years ago could it comfortabley render Trico at a steady 30 fps in 4k ??? DF is interesting when comparing games that are multiplatform games but like cod fifa pes etc, when its a single platform game it makes no sense at all yes it does make me realise I will need a 4k ps4 which I will be purchasing soon but why are you being so negative you can see the game isnt a ps3 remaster no ps3 remaster can do things like render individual feathers on Trico.
@BLP_Software na keep the gems its a feat to get them and proves your damn good at the game sorry if you cant get them thats your problem not mine i know i can get them on the psx game
Ok I havent watched the presser YET, however what I can say is ff7 im not overly fussed over I dont think it was the best ff of the psx era i prefer either 8 or 9 thats my opinion, I am excited about crash but im in my mid 30's so remember the games of my teens, TLOU2 just looks incredible if they are using the same game engine that was used in u4 then well its going to look amazing. Knack2 is my game of the presser that has been announced so far it might not be everyone's cup of tea but it looks lots of fun lets hope its a longer game and enhance on its good story line.
@leucocyte OH YES KNACK to be fair Knack was my first ps4 game and i thoroughly enjoyed it but I love action platform games so yeah a Knack sequel is great for me, also TLOU2 thats gonna be another goty once it appears
you WILL NOT get external HDD support for soo many reasons mainly for security reasons christ it took almost 2 years to get a media player out of sony it will just not happen people need to drop asking for it
I'm loving it so far paarthanax looks brilliant in 1080p think once the hdr update is released it will look sublime. It's such a wonderful game I can't nor will I compare skyrim to the witcher3
my only issue with the ps4pro is it needs to have 2 hdmi ports on it one for the video output straight to your tv and one for your audio much like a 4k blu ray player has at present it has not been confirmed it will have this and most av amps either dont support 4k yet or their are insanely expensive
Mods can allows backdoor access to account security you are editing the source code to the game at the end of the day. I don't have a short memory but I do know Sony got their arses torn apart 6 years ago over poor security and now they are bring sensible good on them
Have you seen the crappy transfer speeds on freebsd it is not feasible to support it period god sake I don't care about external HDD support all my blu ray players that are not ps4 support external hard drives and they are only £40 blu ray players. Honestly the real drop of the ball is no 4k blu ray drive but it's no biggy really the hdr support on all ps4s is amazing
Ok I agree the DS4 is a poor build quality I am due to either purchase a 4th controller in 3 years or buy a whole new touch pad matrix; I understand that people want the customisable pad etc but I would much prefer they used the materials they used for the DS3 shell on the DS4 and also sourced a new manufactorer for the analogue sticks and the touchpads they are my main sources of failure the battery issue is dead easy to fix as the DS3 battery fits in the DS4 so you only need to ebay purchase a couple DS3 batterys that are brand new and put them in your pad (this takes no time at all)
@JaxonH Thats a drawback for yourself not playing the original games makes it hard to compare, from memory the originals are also like this and it has a lot of timing aspects built into it if you mistime your press of x you are likely to fall to your death
Ok, as a huge avid ND fan I can say hand on heart U4 is leaps and bounds above TLOU in standards you can see that they have learned from TLOU and added in a lot of their experience of the game. I have to admit the scene with the bell had me wondering WTAF!!! This is by far the prettiest game on the PS4 to date and by a long way the best game of the year, I havent finished the SP yet due to me taking my time with the game I know im about half way through it and lets face it a gaming masterpiece like this game should be savoured not devoured in a quick 12 hour session. I will say one thing the opening is slow but fun is it as memorable as U2 NO WAY nothiing beats the opening of hanging off a train over a cliff Enjoy your gaming guys I am working all weekend so no more gaming for me until tuesday !!
I picked it up yesterday best £42 ive spent its like cmr of old, and unbelievably pretty to look at the car physics are brilliant and utterly painful when you get handed a dnf after painstakingly coersing your car through what seems like hell and you make a silly mistake at speed and you have to retire the rally, I really like it and I normally hate with a passion codemasters games due to their horrible arcade like feel but wow if you like rally get this as its got a mixture of both rally cross and proper rally's and the latter is where you get your kicks out of how hard this game is.
The pace notes are unreal and come at you based on how fast you are driving, if you are really up for it you can get the notes read out through the pad speaker which i have to admit helps 100%
Utterly brilliant much needed on the ps4 it makes me realise gt will have a high bar in standards to exceed this is what all codemasters games should be like!
Good you cant excuse the shocking release of driveclub in such a horrifically broken way, no defending it and very much deserved they shouldnt be reassigned and should loose their jobs for the embarrassment of sony that simple !
This should really kick the ps4 into hyperspeed with sales it looks stunning literally stunning best looking game I have seen yet ! would love to know if its running full 1080p @60fps that would really put the icing on the cake !
Surprised by this but not shocked I bought it just before Xmas and was pleasently impressed I found the game very fun and challenging worth the purchase. Odd I own all but 1 of the games in the top 4 this year.
