Dang... I was really looking forward to playing terrifying PS4 games like Outlast and P.T. again with the headset to see if the sense of immersion is increased... but given the drop in resolution, I might not bother picking up VR just yet. Also, was hoping some horror games would have you constantly looking over your shoulder to see if something was following you ... alas.. no! Was also hoping this would be my new preffered remote play device... Bit disappointed.
Resident Evil and Transformers ..... Best PS4 double yet .... If u dont have them of course!!! Got Resi HD double pack. Devastation was always on my list though so happy bout that. Actual Sunlight sounds interesting too.
10/10 ... maybe at one time .... this was HD on PS3 ... i'm guessing not much has changed in the way it looks/plays. Wish they actually gave it the remastering it deserves, ie, new textures/models ect!!!! Really is a wasted opportunity!!! Wish I had a reason to purchase it again!!
Loved Inside. Right on par with Limbo, ie ... Fantastic! The whole game is like some tense, vivid, horrific nightmare. From eerie beginning to a "Bodysnatchers-esque" ending, it's never anything less than thrilling. Wish I hadn't played it so I could do it again for 1st time.
Sony already had a chance to completely overhaul the Vita and give us what we want.... ie, No propriety memory cards and extra buttons for remote play!! Did we get it ... no... and now its doomed!! Those 2 little changes wouldve seen the Vita 2000 flying of the shelves as a must have for every PS4 owner! I still love my Vita (after the extra expense; 64GB Card and L2/R2 attachment - money I should never have had to pay if it was designed for the consumer and not to line Sony pockets)! Remote play couldve been so much better if it had the same controls as PS4 - a real missed opportunity! Having to buy extra buttons for a games console to make games playable in 2016 isnt acceptable!!!
Sonic should've been killed off a long time ago. Think he was overrated to begin with. The originals haven't really aged that well and the modern games have been below average to rotten. I get bored after playing Sonic for 5 mins. Not like Mario World, which I still revisit often.
Really liked this game but it started to wear thin by the end. Problem is the power ups are largely ignorable. Once you can tug a robots head off theres little need to use the blaster power ups, bomb, thrust etc. I found everything and fully levelled up BUT I didn't feel at all more powerful towards the end. Since the way you progress is through colours of identical droids, the power ups play a less important role. Its not like metroid where you get a cool new tool/weapon to progress. You just change from one robot to another. Good game, maybe an 8 for me!
This would be brilliant on Wii U where u cant see the other guys screen.... Or remote play where Vita could be one screen while the other is on the tele.
Hardly surprising given the justifiably poor reception. They also had the disadvantage that Overwatch released to great reviews. Still, these devs must know they're games are substandard when they release them. Think they should've sold it at £20 initially to try n boost sales in at least get it into as many homes as possible. Really does highlight the importance of playtesting/quality control. It's an awful lot of effort, time and money to waste on a poor product. Pretty Pointless!
Never played it BUT... I thought EVERYONE loved Destiny after "The Taken King" update???!! Kept getting 90%+ reviews saying how they'd listened to complaints and improved it no end!!!
Loving this!!! Like a cross between Super Metroid and Steamworld Heist!! Played for 3 hours THEN - a damn gamebreaking bug!!!! When ur turning off the 3 coloured lift shields, if you stop playing without completing the task, u end up in a closed off section under a lift that can only be controlled by your head ... ie you cant get to it because its connected to the platform above!! Don't know why the lift went back up to that floor. think I mustve activated it then boosted the head off and flew underneath while it was going up!! Nightmare though!! Started again, still loving it!!!
Absolutely not!!! I love my Vita freebies and with a whole back catalogue of PSP games available, u should be guaranteed top (85%+) games every month! Gave my PS3 to my niece and she love the freebies too. . . What would Sony REPLACE them with??? Highly unlikely you'll be getting SIX PS4 games every month!!
..... all they have to do is give us GOOD GAMES!! Not 5/10 or 6/10 games. Anything that gets an average of 85% plus on Metacritic would do fine for me (yes, Metacritic is a decent way to decide if a game is for you or not!!) Its game after game of below average, bargain bin crap we seem to be getting. Theres 100s of PSP classics for Vita if your ever short of quality, PS3 obviously has its bases covered and PS4 has tons of good smaller games too!! Each month should be a no-brainer!!
Ability to delete demos and other crap from MY library!! Really hoping for better video compatibility with the Media Player. Really is hit and miss with playback!
Few days ago I typed in "Top 20 scariest PC games" in to google. S Shock came up so downloaded it. Played it yesterday .... It's an ugly, unplayable, pixelated relic!!! Gamepad mapping is a no-no with these controls but, even with the mouse, the controls are awful. Couldn't even turn to thump the first robot that attacked me. I'll buy the PS4 remake as I'm definitely still curious bout it.
Great!!! Ascension was my biggest gaming disappointment (along with Resi 6 and Dead Space 3). All campaigns in those games were compromised by spending time and resources to create needless (in my opinion) multiplayers. Never enjoyed any of these games in multiplayer.... Glad its gone!
"Better than nothing!!????" Unfortunately for this appalling game, nothing is NOT an option. There's thousands of other far superior action platformers to invest in. What a crappy attitude. It's like paying £1000s for a nose job .. only to find out a binman is carrying out the op... "oh well, better than nothing!!!"
Rubbish, boring demo!! Downloaded it and looked forward to the evening - setting"an hour" aside to play it!! 4 mins later ... the end!! Wasn't impressed at all. PT was very realistic ... This just looked like any old video game!!! PT was terrifying .... this is cheesy, not-scary rubbish!!
Has to be God of War!! Playing all of them again chronologically just now. Finished Ascension and Chains of Olympus, now on GoW HD BUT hit a gamebreaking bug at the Atlas statue!!! Hope new one keeps a similar combo system. . . some people say its a stale formula but don't think i'll ever get bored of it!!!
Playing this just now. Eerie so far. ... Nowhere near are realistic as P.T though. Maybe budget constraints in place after the loathsome Resi 6 coz it's not much of a looker.
Sorted for this... Got my old ps moves and bought a (seemingly obsolete) ps4 camera for £5 on eBay last year. Guess the price ll get hiked up with VR being released.
Loved Resi 5. Very hard to fault. Liked the African setting and baddies... (Which doesn't make it racist-was it racist that everyone in Resi 4 was white? ((well, apart from that bad ass mini-gun mutha))! The co-op A.I. was decent too. I'll prob snap this one up again for PS4.
Why does everyone keep going on about Knack??? Was it not VERY poorly received? Id love Tentacle for PS4/Vita! Not many games left that I want and don't have!
@Dodoo I'd stick with the 3DS version actually. The map is essential after EVERY move as your 4 robots and multiple enemies are spread about the entire play area. Wouldnt fancy pausing each turn ... over and over.
The game that saved Christmas!!! All the big releases -Just Cause - Battlefront etc really disappointed ... Then I started playing this little gem. I generally loathe turn based games. Really tried hard to get into Chrono Trigger, Ni No Kuni, Fire Emblem, Mario and Luigi etc. Restarted them all umpteen times wishing I could enjoy them like all the others who rave about em... No joy. Loved Steamworld Dig so took the plunge with Heist. Loved it. Incredible game. Took my time (22 hours) to max out all my bots to 10 and enjoyed every second. A steal at £15. Highly recommended!!!
Tried my freebie .... once ..... DELETED!!! Always wonder how much this kinda crap costs in money and effort to develop... surely it can't be worth it??!!!
Always thought they should release a current gen cod multiplayer megamix with the best levels from each game. Had them all on PS3 but liked World at War's levels the best. This is welcome news regardless.
That frickin update has rendered my movies hard drive unusable in the crappy PS4 media player. It could only play roughly 60% of my files previously ... Now I get the DREADED "this USB device cannot be used" crap! Really wish Sony had just commissioned "Showtime" to make an official build for PS4. Showtime on my PS3 can handle any file you can throw at it and the customisation options are second to none.
Ranks up there in my most disappointed list ( along with GoW Ascension and Dead Space 3 .... both wasted WAY TOO much time and effort to create needless multiplayer games and both are far inferior to their predecessors!). Loved 4 and 5! Resi 5 in particular came in for a lot of unjustified criticism! Great game! How did it ever come to this though! 4 pretty rotten games on one disc!!! Trying to cater to multiplayer, which is the opposite of what survival horror should be ( .... alone, isolated, down to your last clip), really left the series with real problems!!
Loving this. Adore the Far Cry formula. Hunting/scavenging for items to upgrade my gear/weapons/village is as great as usual! The unusual characters and animals to tame are a treat!! Now ... to find that ever elusive last Badger skin to upgrade my cave ... Seriously .... where the hell are those pesky varmints!!!!
Losing myself in Far Cry Primal!!! Love the Far Cry formula!!! Hunting/scavenging to level up my kit/skills/village is a gaming fave of mine! Really underrated game! If you loved the previous Far Cry games, you'll love this!!!
As long as the difference is merely cosmetic, i.e., slightly better graphics, quicker loading etc , doubt i'd be interested. Upgraded console exclusive games (VR or not) would REALLY piss me off! Fragmentation is always a dicey path to take with consoles! I bought a PS4 over a PC because I thought it guaranteed me the BEST hardware till the next generation is released and I'm not a fussy enough gamer to upgrade a PC repeatedly!! "PS4 is FUTURE-PROOFED WITH 8GB RAM"!!! was the phrase that convinced me to buy the PS4! Now it doesn't seem as "FUTURE PROOFED" as initial claims .... i am kinda disappointed!!!
