@MadAussieBloke Interesting. I don't think I'll ever buy one, but certainly would like to try it.

I have a very stupid question: how the hell do you WALK? And does it feel natural?

@Devotion I totally understand that this justifies the purchase for some people, not for me though. However, it will be interesting to see how much of a difference we'll actually see when the games start beign patched and when new games arrive, such as GoW for instance. I believe they will be largely cosmetic, but I might be wrong. Either way, I don't see myself upgrading. I hope you'll be very happy with your PS4 Pro though!

@Devotion In fact, not buying a PS4 Pro makes as much sense as not having the best PC rig possible, but one that's more than good enough to play all games you want.
I understand it's a must for people who want the best possible gaming experience, like you, but having bought a PS4 less than a year and a half ago, there's no way I can justify to myself giving the same amount of money to Sony yet again for these little improvements.

@DerMeister You better run then, the Slim is set to be the base model from now on. I have to say I'd get the Pro if I haven't got the original, though, especially at that price.

Not for me. I'm perfectly happy with the launch model and don't even play most of the big hitters that are likely to take advantage of the extra power. Not to mention that I don't even have a 4K TV and don't have any plans to get one.

Art direction seems on point, IMO. Hope the game has a good story to boot.

@Rob_230 This. They are totally overselling the game at this point.

@NathanUC Damn, now you got me confused. I'm pretty sure I did login with my old password after authenticating with the device password. It says so on the link you click on your phone to set up the device password.

@NathanUC From what I understand the device password works like the SMS code, meaning you'll still be using you old password. The device password is just another layer of security like the SMS. If someone else attemps a login you'll receive another message to set up a new device password.

All set for my three systems. They do behave differently though. PSV and PS3 asked for a device-specific password, while the PS4, which I did last, sent a SMS directly after I logged in with my regular password.

Stoked for Inside. Got manage to squeeze it in between the 2 or 3 games I'm already playing.

@GamerDad66 Simply buy 12 months now if you want and disable auto-renew, no?

To be honest, apart from the games on PS+, which I really don't care about/expect great titles any longer (I see the games as a bonus, really), the service kind of improved lately, with more cloud storage space and more stability. I for one can't remember any outages on the recent past. Of course I would like to have it staying the same price forever, but I can't be that much bothered by this somewhat small increase if it affects Europe.

I don't usually complain about PS+ offerings, but this month is simply awful.

"the cringe-inducing title Deathinitive Edition", said the kings of puns

It would be interesting if they released both on a single disc.

The developer seems to have addressed this save issue on their foruns:

"We have recently introduced a patch for PC, which allows you to save & quit the game and continue playing at a later time. The permadeath system however remains in place as the entire game is balanced around it.

We are looking into making the patch available on consoles, however it may take some time as the certification process on consoles is a lot more complicated than on PC and there are some other complications that needs to be solved, too. Please keep an eye on our social channel for updates."

Weird. Yakuza shows on the PS+ page, but it's €39,99. Fat Princess is nowhere to be found.

EDIT: On top of that, there's no buy button on Prince of Persia, hummm.

Only Furi and Prince of Persia (why not) for me. Already have Oreshika and the other ones don't interest me at all. Good variety, though.

Great news! Too bad my backlog is huge as it is!

With Sony insistently saying that both platforms will coexist until the end of this generation's cycle, I'm more and more convinced that PS4 Neo will in fact lengthen the eight generation lifecycle, which was bound to be shorter if these 4K updates hadn't come around.

What a joke, after years of waiting for Dragon Fantasy II in Europe, Dragon Fantasy: The Black Tome of Ice isn't even available for all European countries (Portugal, where I live, is left out).

I think it was a very safe mid-cycle E3. The thing is, all consoles of this generation are still to deliver a great deal of their promises — and the show reflected that. I imagine next year, with behemoth projects like Final Fantasy XV and Last Guardian out of the way and Neo/Scorpio more close to reality, things will get fresher and more surprising again. Not to mention NX, which will certainly be a thing then.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Must be kind of hard to deliver a award-winning performance when you have to say lines like "The crystal will not serve you!"

Never got around to play this series, although I wanted to since the Atelier Iris days. Maybe one day...

Hell yes! One of the greatest FFs in my book. Will love to slay Yiazmat in HD!

I love this series so much! The original is a very treasured item of my collection: https://www.flickr.com/photos/videogamescollection/4310800103/in/album-72157623176038665/

I'm curious to see how many copies the next true numbered release (XI) will shift on its first week. It's tough to gauge the true state of the series with spin-offs. However, even though DQ always secures a first spot in any shape or form, it does seem that these numbers pale in front of previous releases. DQ XI can either dispel these worries, or confirm them.

So a PSP game and a launch title (with broken online challenges) from a defunct developer for the VITA. And two 8 year old games for the PS3. Wow. Why not make IGC a PS4 only thing already?

Great news! Now announce Dragon Quest Heroes II already, SE!

A BIT early is the understatement of the year
I won't make the leap to PS4K. I only got the PS4 one year ago, so that's a no-no for me. I just wish Sony would reveal the damn thing already so that we know officially how this will affect early adopters.

I have this sitting on my backlog for the PS3 for ages so I pre-ordered the Europa edition from Amazon to have that juicy physical edition with extras (not to mention trophies) and finally get to play it!

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Tell me about it. I got a ton of games looking at me from the PS4 library from the time I bought the system, one year ago.

The Banner Saga is 7,99€ for PS Plus members! Great chance to grab it!

Mortal Kombat XL and having a blast with it - NetherRealm nailed it again!

Digital only?

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi
"...but another vita rpg I'll never find time for, ugh"
This is so true it hurts.

Looks seriously amazing. And that last frame with the bonfire looks like a homage to the very first scene of Dragon Quest VI:

Done!

My bet is that stock image is the name of the game.

Sweet!!! I love that they added Gabo as well! And Maribel is my favorite female character of the franchise!

@xMEADx dude, it was a joke as the guy above said. chill.

@xMEADx Says the guy with awesome box art as avatar

Game covers are pretty much going downhill these days, so, yeah, at least it's in touch with the times.

That VO was... weird.

Well, it's a good month for me then. I've played TWD Season 1 on the PS3 and kept postponing buying Season 2 for the PS4.

@WebHead I highly doubt it, I reckon Sony will keep making them while leaving it flying solo for as long as developers continue to make niche/indie titles for it. I think it will be very similar to the PSP situation really, that continued to be manufactured until December 2014 on PAL territories. Handhelds are typically much more resilient than home consoles even after first party support is dropped.

Seems they went full nostagia with this one. That's the original artwork from the last boss of the very first Dragon Quest there, DragonLord.

If they HAD to do this, they could have used his second form which is way cooler.

@DarthDiggler
I am quite familiar with their work, yes. It was only a joke (the second comment) and a comment on hype not really aimed at Bend Studios (the first one), but to how hype has fooled us gamers on the past two generations.
