Just finished Lara Croft GO main campaign on the Vita. The bonus levels are too hard, so I'm taking a break with it.
Finished playing Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders (the whole game, all five episodes) on Steam. Started playing Hexen, oh it's an awesome game! Vastly more complex than Doom/Heretic.
I plan also another try to play Saw on the X360. It is good too, it's like a simplified The Evil Within but with the distinctive riddles of the Saw franchise.
Nothing on PS4 right now, besides Puyo Puyo Tetris several times a week with my girlfriend.
Tomorrow arrives my retail copy of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the PS4. Will try it a bit, but I'm going to play it later.
This looks NOT like the 'leaked prototype' drawings. This looks better. Very sci-fi'ish, I'd say. But still I like the Dualshock 4 more. We need to feel it with our hands to appreciate ergonomics.
Even if the memory/disk would not be a bottleneck anymore, we still would have to wait for all that stuff (achievements, trophies etc.) to load from the Internet. The connection to your ISP and further to Sony servers would still be the same as it is right now.
@ellsworth004 Because a) Konami's management staff is stupid; b) Konami is not anymore the company it used to be; c) Konami is not making games for normal gamers anymore. They are making something for Pachinko machines only; d) Konami's always making wrong decisions: they are stupid. Did I say that already? e) A brand new long awaited Silent Hill for Pachinko machines confirmed!
Steam has remastered version of Fahrenheit with widescreen and FullHD resolution. PS4 has the PS2 version emulated. I wonder which one will be this physical release.
I'm already happy with my PS4 Gold Wireless Headset (the "new" one), but there's lack of games that support proper 3D audio. I can name only one with awesome 3D audio - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It's a shame that the studio behind it is owned by Microsoft now, which means that the second game will be for Xbox/PC only...
All I care about is full backward compatibility. In terms of pure power, it's obvious that the PS5 will be a powerful machine - it doesn't matter whether it beats XSX or not by raw numbers. The custom SSD will be there too. I can't think of anything more I wished for. But BC is THE most important aspect for me, especially the legacy systems (PS1, PS2, PS3). There ARE many PS3 exclusives which have not been ported to PS4. And I would be the happiest person if I could play Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame on PS5.
All I know about Fortnite is that it is another multiplayer game... Something like Team Fortress or Counter Strike? MMO? Warframe, something?.. There are billions of it. I don't know and I'm not interested at all. The "biggest" game in the world for ME is The Last of Us... probably. Or maybe it's Silent Hill.
The new controller looks a little thicker than DS4. A little more XBox-y (look at the picture and imagine it without all the buttons, thumbsticks etc - just the bare case). And, frankly, that's good.
That is a nice idea. I think all companies should begin using more colours (again), as in past times. I'm not a fan of the last years trend to minimise the usage of colours in logos etc. (think PS logo, Windows logo...)
And again a sports game... moreover, American sports. I don't even know the rules of a baseball game.
This just increases the price I pay for the rest of PS Plus monthly games of my yearly subscription.
I've been calling the button 'cross' since the PS1. I never knew there were people who called it X (as the letter X, "eks"). This sounds weird for me. This is not a letter but a shape. It's always been.
Interesting that they burned the image on a BD-R DL disc. Which means that some (special for developers?) PS4 consoles CAN play games from BD-R media. I'm not talking about possibilities for piracy, no, no. But making backup copies of the games for yourself would be awesome.
Controls, human NPC's and the protagonist's movements look clunky. Overall the game looks kinda last-gen. What I saw from this video - a PS3 could handle well all that.
I couldn't care less for the multiplayer part of the game, but to delist it from the Store completely... man, that's a bad move. Sony, with such questionable decisions you're encouraging people to switch to the competing platform.
I don't understand... so they will release a PS4 version first (many months before the PS5 will be released), then when the PS5 is out, it will be a "true PS5" version of the game (which won't run on a PS4), as well as a patch to upgrade PS4 version to PS5 version? And what if the non-patched PS4 version is run on the PS5 via BC, how all these game versions will differ?
Internet service in Ukraine is pretty good - most households in big cities have stable 100 Mbps. Sadly, Sony is not aware of this or just doesn't care about the country.
People just want more Max&Chloe, that's it. (Not even mentioning the fact that the new characters are not that interesting as M&C).
Totally agree with Kai_. Developers chose the format over the characters people fell in love with.
There's still a chance if M&C appear in new episodes AT LEAST as supporting characters.
Cannot download Burly Men at Sea for Vita. The Store page (on the Vita) doesn't have a price nor it has a Download button. On the web version of the Store, I click on Download to my Vita button and it says that the game has been put in the download queue. But nothing happens. My Vita does not begin downloading the game. No problems with PS4 version, though.
I live in Ukraine and we here haven't had any printed gaming magazines at all except a few not really interesting local ones. You should have had one more option in the poll to choose - "I had no opportunity to buy and read any".

Re: How Well Do You Know Your Assassin's Creed Protagonists?
7 out of 8. I thought it was Origins the game which allowed to choose the protagonist. I haven't played any AC since Unity.
Re: Of Course Assassin's Creed Valhalla Brings Back the Worst Part of the Series
Why they just don't bring Desmond back from the dead? It might be a clone or something.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Launches on PS5, PS4 in Holiday 2020
This encourages me to buy an Xbox Series X!
Re: PS Plus May 2020 PS4 Games Announced
Sony scoffs at us.
Re: Poll: Are You Spending More Time Gaming Because of the Coronavirus Lockdown?
I'm playing more than I would play normally. I'm lucky to have the opportunity of playing games during my work hours.
Re: PlayStation Store Big in Japan Sale Brings Great Deals From the East
There are plenty of discounts for the Vita! I personally picked Muramasa Rebirth Complete Collection, was waiting too long for it to be discounted...
Re: Observer: System Redux PS5 Trailer Gives Us a Glimpse at Next-Gen Graphics
Looks good, but not a bit next-gen. Am I expecting too much?

Re: Rumour: Sony Has Been Working on Silent Hill Reboot for 18 Months
Just a small reminder - while we are waiting for the next Silent Hill, we can play the very first one on the Vita. Still available on the PS Store.
Re: This PS5 Mock-Up Is Inspired By the DualSense Controller, and It's Gorgeous
@AhmadSumadi It depends on the plastic the console will be made from. Not all plastic is changing its color from white to yellow with time.
Re: Silent Hills PS5 Rumours Are Brought Back from the Dead Once Again
The gravestone means that Maruo visited Konami and they confirmed that they had buried the game/franchise.
Re: Random: PS5's DualSense Has Already Been Reimagined As a Sexy Anime Girl
The third one is nice. Could be a PlayStation mascot.
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone
Does someone remember, how much time passed between they showed us the DS4 and the PS4?
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone
Looks like a sci-fi jet fighter. Now we need to see the Mothership!

Re: Gallery: New The Last of Us 2 Screenshots Look Truly Stunning
Ellie's leg on bottom left screenshot looks weird. Unnatural. I mean her thigh, look at it. It's curved. It's cheap modelling.

Re: Silent Hill PS5 Reboot Rumours Are False, Konami Claims
@ellsworth004 Because
a) Konami's management staff is stupid;

c) Konami is not making games for normal gamers anymore. They are making something for Pachinko machines only;
d) Konami's always making wrong decisions: they are stupid. Did I say that already?

Re: Poll: So, Er, Was That PS5 Deep Dive Audience Real or Not?
They were real, but due to the presentation being a pre-recorded one, those people might have been Sony staff.
Re: PS5 Backwards Compatibility Will Support 'Almost' All PS4 Games
@Constable_What You can play some of PS3 games on PC today via emulator.

So everything I needed to know is clear now: the game will be released at the end of 2019.
Re: Oh Yeah, Generation Zero Is Out on PS4 Next Week
I'd rather it be a single-player only. Yeah, and those humans animations look like they came directly from Half-Life 2.

Re: Poll: Do You Feel Ripped Off by PS Plus' Recent Changes?
Sony just needs to include at least one PS5 exclusive and all people will be happier than ever.

Totally disappointed. I was expecting a much darker atmosphere with a slower pace, more like the recent Detroit.
Re: Sony: We Can't Ignore the Nintendo Switch
Sony, just start making AAA games for the Vita again and the handheld market will be yours.
