I have to admit this doesn't surprise me too much, I'm finding the game so much fun but the cut scene humour isn't particularly funny.
I'm guessing they released a movie alongside the game to push game sales etc. Hopefully with the game selling well before the movie is even out, they'll make more without the need for a movie.
Nice review...I was unsure whether the added complexity of levelling, gear upgrades etc would detract from the core gameplay...but it sounds like it actually enhances it. My wallet won't be happy to hear this!!!
Whilst this is good...I still think we need to work toward steady and improved frame rates. I'm worried that as 4K becomes more popular...we'll continue a push into 4K gaming with barely 30fps. I really hope developers can sit comfortable for a while and start getting 1080p and 60fps as the normal...even if it's in the PS5 era.
@solocapers but we're getting spoilt with LOADS of new games every week and a nice selection of solid remasters? Never been a better time to be a gamer
I'm getting to the point where I think they are just celebrating a Playstation mascot that bought them a lot of success. Not sure we'll see anything new.
@Neolit Whilst the game still looks great, I'm also a little less interested in it with all the materials etc. I was just hoping for a top down Resogun sort of affair. I'll still maybe give it a go.
@FullbringIchigo Sorry to go off topic but if you download Hirens Disk, you can boot to it and run a program that will allow you to activate and change the password for the admin account. Then you'll be able to log in as that etc. Should work
I can see why some people don't like the idea, but I personally don't mind. As long as they have the same games on both it should be okay. I would probably buy one if the performance of games was improved. I buy console purely for ease of use so don't mind refreshing every few years for something more powerful
Mmm overall I'm not that impressed. Combat is terrible in my opinion and the camera just felt a bit awkward. I'm going to play more tonight in the hope it gets better. I'm beginning to wonder whether they shouldn't have put this strange "demo that isn't really a demo" out in the first place.
For me...same games 1080p, 60fps and of course a decent price. Clearly we're not going to see all our games in 4K and frankly I don't care about that just yet lol
@RoosterCogburn Firewatch is such a terrible game...thought it was such a bland and boring experience. Battleborn looks okay but nothing special. There seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding the game everywhere which I think will harm it even more so.
@RoosterCogburn it's not bias, it's opinions. The great thing about this website in my opinion is that the writers seem to have strong opinions...even though I disagree with them some time.
With things like this....I guess it's possible that artwork etc could be created early on and then decided to not go through with the game? There must be lots of concept art out there for games that never get made...
@sub12 Really? I think it's pretty clear from the whole statement he made and Psyonix employee statements that we can expect to see PS4 and Xb1 cross play with Rocket League being the first.
@themcnoisy Take 2 weeks off work, tell your family you are away on business and stop in a hotel until you complete the Witcher? If you aren't willing to make that compromise then you're not a REAL gamer
Will be listening to this on my way home tonight (after the VideoGamer one....am I allowed to listen to competitors??)
It's my favourite gaming website so look forward to listening Ps I did recommend the name in the forums, and yet you've given me no credit for my original idea
@DualWielding The main reason I have a console is because it's easy. I buy a game and it works and no effort is required from me other than buying the console and buying the games. I'd happily upgrade consoles every 3 years because it still isn't effort on my behalf...just money lol
I personally have no issue with that...I don't define the value of a game as the development cost of it. If the game is good and offers quality/quality content then I'm happy.
Indie...this as a term is becoming very clouded. Can we really compare a game like Axiom Verge to No Mans Sky??
Fantastic some long overdue features that I'm happy to finally have! It clearly shows they're listening to what we want....folders soon enough I'm sure!
@stevie85 It's also worth pointing out that Playstation used to make a huge loss, but recently have turned things around and now making a steady profit...maybe that has had an impact on the quality of games in the IGC?
I tend to walk around to begin with until I've explored the area then I fast travel pretty much all the time...games are long enough now without walking everywhere!
EDIT: By the way, I like how this article is constructed with the 2 opposing views.
@Plateface Depends how much content is there but £20 does seem a bit steep. I don't have much experience but a 15 hour expansion in ESO is about £15 and the Witcher season pass costs me £15. I personally think Fallout 4 is one the most "average" AAA game I've played so I may be a bit biased.
Ooo I like that feature where you get updated whilst you play...would be great to see something like it for the premiership too as being a United fan, Champions League isn't as relevant this season!
Looks great, I'm enjoying DQH but there are a few things that really bug me about it. I'd agree with @Expa0 that the movement speed is slow especially as there is no sprint. The other thing I found clunky was everything outside of gameplay..crafting, picking up/completing quests, buying stuff all felt like it was taking too long and too many menus. Hopefully they'll improve this as the gameplay is great.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Won't Be Sold Separately on PS4
That's certainly one way to ensure your game sells well

Re: Soapbox: Sony Needs to Set the Record Straight on PS4K Soon
Hope all those moaning can move on with their lives and continue gaming on a console, that up until this rumour, was a perfectly good gaming machine.

Re: Let's Hope Mafia III Ends Up Being as Good as This Fantastic Release Date Trailer
Whilst the world looks quite interesting...the game just isn't appealing to me. Not a big fan of the characters maybe, we'll see.

Re: Bungie Really Wants You to Get Back into Destiny
Not enough for me with so many other games to play. Prison of Elders was boring...putting Taken in there won't change that.
Re: Review: Ratchet & Clank (PS4)
I never had doubts about this...but great to see it receive high scores! 10-12 hours is exactly what I'm looking for so very happy
Re: Fallout 4 Named Best Game at 2016 BAFTA Game Awards
Bloodborne not even considered? The Witcher 3 getting no awards? Fallout 4 is getting awards that IMHO it really doesn't deserve.

Re: Guide: How to Use PS4 Remote Play on Your PC, Mac
@get2sammyb Hollie at Playstation Access has confirmed it works anywhere...not just inside the home network. So you assumed correctly!
Re: Guide: How to Use PS4 Remote Play on Your PC, Mac
@get2sammyb That answers my question thanks I'd seen things (around the tinterweb) saying it only worked on the same network as your PS4.
Re: Guide: How to Use PS4 Remote Play on Your PC, Mac
Seems to be conflicting information on whether this only works locally or whether it works remotely too. Can you clear up?
Re: Game of the Month: Top 4 PlayStation Games of March 2016

Re: Soapbox: Why I Don't Think PS4K Is Okay

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 3.50 Beta Codes Are Being Sent Out
@WARDIE the library is a mess, especially when you're in betas, demos etc. Would be nice to have an option to at least sort and filter.
With regards appearing offline, I have work colleagues on there so it'll be nice to not have them aware of my over excessive playstation use lol

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 3.50 Beta Codes Are Being Sent Out
@WARDIE What option did you pick?
I can't believe "folders and UI" is above external hard drive support. Whilst folders would be nice, I never have difficulty finding my games.

Re: Er, Fallout 4 Won Game of the Year at the DICE Awards 2016
I know awards/nominations are totally a matter of an opinion....but a large amount of these categories look filled with unworthy nominations/winners.
Fallout 3.5 Game of the year?? Have a word with yourself.
Re: Firewatch Patch Improves Shoddy PS4 Performance
Got this downloaded but haven't played it yet...sounds like it'll be in good shape by the time I finish Bloodborne!
Re: Fallout 4 Finally Drops a Bomb with DLC Details
@WARDIE I know some people love Fallout, but from my experience of it I found it extremely dissapointing in almost every aspect.
I'm just comparing the Fallout DLC costs to what I've seen in the last few years.
Re: Fallout 4's Season Pass Is About to Get Pricier on PS4
£40 for a season pass? That's a joke right? Having seen what's in it...doesn't seem like good value.
I just imagine the uproar if and EA or Ubisoft game had a £40 season pass...
Re: Fallout 4 Finally Drops a Bomb with DLC Details
@Plateface Depends how much content is there but £20 does seem a bit steep. I don't have much experience but a 15 hour expansion in ESO is about £15 and the Witcher season pass costs me £15. I personally think Fallout 4 is one the most "average" AAA game I've played so I may be a bit biased.

Re: Review: Unravel (PS4)
Been looking forward to this since E3 and I wasn't disappointed..managed to get my platinum last night too I'd give it a solid 8/10 personally
Re: Dragon Quest Heroes II Is Already Looking Lovely on PS4
Looks great, I'm enjoying DQH but there are a few things that really bug me about it. I'd agree with @Expa0 that the movement speed is slow especially as there is no sprint. The other thing I found clunky was everything outside of gameplay..crafting, picking up/completing quests, buying stuff all felt like it was taking too long and too many menus. Hopefully they'll improve this as the gameplay is great.
