Sony PS4 #10: The Return of the Ugly Cover

[Oogie Boogie]

So during the night Sony announced their PS1 Mini console. Will cost $99 USD and comes with 20 games. The only ones I've seen so far are FF7, Tekken 3 and Wild Arms that will come with the mini console.

No twin sticks means no Gran Turismo, which is lame, maybe it has to do with licensing?

Gotta have Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, otherwise, it gets a big "nope" from me

My guesses for the remaining games are Resident Evil 2, a Tomb Raider, and a Twisted Metal.

Why are the PS4Pros so impossible to find? I finally decided to get one and they're completely sold out everywhere. Is Sony hoarding them for the holidays?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

No Best Buy or Gamestop or Walmart or Target or Micro Center or local video game store? I think even Costco has them?

 

[floridada]

Holy shit, you aren't kidding. How the hell does this happen?

 

[Mitchy]

Hope there's a sale for PS Plus soon. My membership is ending at the end of the month.

I don't know if this post belongs in the PS4 thread, a home-theater thread or a 1080P TV thread. But here goes...

My 500GB PS4 is connected to a Yamaha AV Receiver which is connected to an LG 1080P HDTV. (It'll be a miracle before I get a 4k HDTV.) After the recent system upgrade, my HDTV starts to flicker near the middle of the screen when I play FFXV on my PS4. (I also have this odd "pulsing" flicker phenomenon near the minimap and mission description area of the screen, but that subsided since the last update.) Has anybody had this problem? Is there a quick fix for this, like upgrading my HDMI cables, or should I have to replace the whole kit and kaboodle?

Ace Attorney Trilogy getting a port to Xbox, ps4, and PC. Great news.

Awesome, but I won't give Konami another dime.

Also, if you still want a Pro:

Introducing the Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro Bundle

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Hey everyone, I'm not really much of a gamer but I enjoyed the heck out of Witcher 3 + DLCs.

I'm going to buy a PS4 Pro + RDR2 Bundle and am looking for some single-player or split-screen games - other than Horizon: Zero Dawn, FIFA19, and that upcoming Samurai game, are there any others you'd recommend for the PS4? I don't want predominantly multiplayer online games tbh.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Persona 5
God of War
Yakuza 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2
The Last Guardian
Journey
The Last of Us Remastered
Disgaea 5, Disgaea 1 Complete
Metal Gear Solid V (if you don't have it yet)
Borderlands 2 Handsome Collection (single and split screen)
RE Remake
Spider-man
Uncharted 4
Uncharted 1-3 Remastered

That is just to name a few.

I'm not into JPRGs or the Uncharted series (they're poorly written) but thanks for the list, I think God of War is another one I should definitely check out

Can you tell me more about Journey?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Journey is mainly an experience game. Music, visuals, simple story and it's only about 3 hours. A lot of heart is an understatement.

Odin Sphere and Dragons Crown are two of the best looking games you'll play graphically speaking, as long as the visual style appeals to you like it does me. They're also fun beat em ups with tweakable difficulty.

Furi is also a great one thats only on PS4 and PC. It's extremely difficult though on the first playthrough so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you're just getting back into gaming.

But Ni No Kuni 2 is a really cool one if you're a fan of studio Ghibli or spirited away. It's a video game in the style of that animation and it's pretty easy from what I hear.

Metal Gear Solid V I really wouldn't recommend if you dont have patience for loadscreens. One of the worst designed games ever for that.

Ugh.....I dunno if I am gonna platinum Spider-Man. Getting gold on all the challenge missions, particularly the drone chases, just isn't very fun. I wanted to platinum it before I moved on but I don't know if I will bother.

f***ing FINALLY! Extended Fortnite Cross-Play Beta Launches on PS4 Starting Today

Cross play on PS4 beta starting with Fortnite (starting today). Keep it up Sony and add more and more games to this.

 

[Pilky01]

I played like two rounds of Fortnite on Switch and it didn't grab me but nice to see this.

Does this make Fortnite the first ever fully cross platform game? Surely it does.

Couple PS4 games that I really enjoyed, and your tastes seem similar to mine (no multiplayer, not a big JRPG fan, or "action adventure" games uncharted):

Fallout 4 - you're probably familiar with it
Xcom 2 - turn based combat with a management piece
Deus Ex Mankind Divided - Shooter/stealth game with solid RPG elements

I also love Skyrim so I bought it for PS4 too & played it a lot, but it is a PS3 generation game (end like PS3 so graphics are still solid).

Man, I'd love a really good stealth action game. I feel like MGS would be good but it's too "cinematic" from what I understand.

I'd like Uncharted if it was... smarter and challenged the user more. Ass Creed too. They're soooooo poorly written, it's obnoxious.

If you like stealth I think you'd really like the new hitman. It's very accessible to beginners with the ability to save at any time in case you want to try something out. It's more of several large sandboxes vs one massive open world .

I put like 100+ hours into MGSV and most of it was just doing the open world stuff. While it has cinematic stuff, it has no where near as many hours of cinematics as MGS4. MGSV just at least in terms of going around the world it gives you and the gameplay, there is nothing better in the genre. So f***ing good.

 

[syz]

Friday the 13th is one of the free PS+ games next month... I wonder if that game actually works yet.

 

[aleshemsky83]

MGSV aka helicopter passenger simulator.

I love the game but it has absolutely no quality of life features. The fast travel is insanely difficult to unlock and use and they're way too far apart. Just my opinion. I constantly look at it on my ps4, start it up, and then drop it when i remember all the helicopter rides, loading screens, and running across vast empty landscapes are required to get to actual gameplay.

Edit: I should say, I've got 50 hours in the game and have all the side missions and main missions complete.
