Sony PS4 #9: Your Exclusive Home for Exclusives

[aleshemsky83]

This says that Sony will not allow developers to charge for Pro updates.

That's reassuring, thanks for the update

Strange that they would backtrack. It literally says the exact opposite in the original article just below the update.

I edited TLOU into about as faithful a feature-length adaptation as possible.

Well done!

I thought this was a good deal for a Sony 4k/HDR 55" and PS4 Pro:

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-XBR55X700D-55-Inch-Ultra-Model/dp/B01M354IAF?th=1

$1000 for the pair through Amazon (B&H has the same price, if Amazon is charging you tax).

Does anyone have a Playstation TV?

Just interested in the streaming function so I can stream my PS4 on another TV, just wondering if it does a good enough job in regards to that.

It all depends on your internet connection. For some stupid reason it doesn't stream through your home network, but from your ps4 to the sony servers back to you PSTV. So if your internet isn't great expect some lag. Its wifi range isn't great, I find I get disconnected often even though I an only 2 rooms away from my ps4/wireless router.

In short does it work? Yes, but not great. I wouldn't use it for any online gaming.

So it does use data. Jesus Christmas, I've literally been called a mentally disabled on multiple message boards for asking this question.

This is one exchange I've had

"Hey does playstation remote streaming count towards your data cap even if you're on the same network?"

"Why would it?"

"I don't know, that's why you ask questions, to learn."

*crickets*

Also, about a million responses -- preempt it with as much of an explanation as you want, these people wont care -- asking what a data cap is even though 90 percent of these people probably have a (much higher ) data cap and just don't realize it because they don't pay bills or just dot care to read

Sigh.
Persona 5 delayed AGAIN



To make up for the delay, they will be adding in dual audio, free Japanese voice DLC

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Are you ****ing real? ****ing ****...

Awesome that they will be adding the Japanese voices for free though.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

Yeah, I'm not happy with the delay one ****ing bit.
Nibel sums it up pretty well. So tired of it.


Also, you can now get a few free avatars and a free theme of Ryjui from P5 for the next 24 hours

Honestly? I'll take the dual audio at that cost. Better than another 100+ hours of English people chewing through honorifics every other line.

Also there's like 6 other games coming out between January and April, so more time for those, I guess.

PSN theme is pretty good. There's one for every character on the JP PSN but I don't have anything left in my wallet over there.

That s what i have been told anyways, how much it uses i have no clue.

Why does anything even translate the honourifics? They sound so horrible in English.

 

[Oscar Acosta]

Honest question why are people so excited about dual audio? I can't see how it would serve me any purpose it's not like I can speak Japanese so why would I want to hear it for 100 hours instead of English?

It's a weeaboo thing. They're stuck on the idea that Japanese VA is always superior to english.

 

[syz]

Authentic VA is always better than localized VA; the same is true for English games that get dubbed to any other language.

I don't watch foreign films with dubs, so I'm not sure why I would play a foreign video game that way if given the choice. Not hard to understand.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

While the original VA is great, Persona 4's English dub is pretty damn impressive. I don't like watching live-action movies either dubbed with English if it's not the native language.

NOOO!!!!! You are breaking the first rule of Anime/foreign games.....never bring up Dub vs Sub.

Yeah, especially on the Vita port. The voice acting (in English) was impeccable, the only remotely jarring thing was these obviously American/Canadian voices using honorifics...but if you've ever hung out with a weeaboo that wasn't that jarring.

I'll probably play through it with the Japanese audio at least once, maybe even for my first play-through, but I'd rather just have English and a February release...but as long as the game is great...whatever. The quality is all that matters, and if something came up that would have prevented that from being possible on day one, then so be it.

Video games are a completely different medium than film. I wouldn't dream of watching a foreign film with a dub (unless it's a Disney localization of Miyazaki, which are still a mixed bag), but games are just different...namely that there isn't a inherent drop-off in quality when you're talking about a company that knows how to localize properly and a lot of Japanese actors overact compared to what we're used to (I couldn't stand Barry Goodman in Tokyo Mirage Sessions, a game that didn't include an English option, in part because he's supposed to be an American ex-pat living in Tokyo who somehow has a voice that is a mix of '70 year-old Japanese man who has smoked a pack a day since he was in the womb', combined with the bombastic delivery of a Japanese game show host...absolutely none of it worked for me, meanwhile weeaboos adored the idiot).

I'll just say this...I don't watch anime at all, so the sub vs. dub thing isn't something I really ever think about...but I doubt I identify as much with the characters of P4G if not for their (generally) fantastic English voice acting. The more games that offer both options, the better, but I don't think this is as easy to say that one side of the coin is right and the other is inherently wrong as it would be in other mediums.

Thanks for the reply! I probably won't bother then, my internet connection in the room I'd use it in is pretty meh, so won't waste my time as I'll probably have issues.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

What's so great about the Persona series?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Fantastic writing, memorable and loveable characters and a solid battle/social mechanic all builds to a fantastic and memorable experience. Persona 4 is way better than any FF game released in the past decade.

Maybe...but that changes in less than 2 weeks

Persona is probably really good but i just can't get into the anime graphics.

Ha don't watch anime or play foreign games generally but I liked Persona 4. I'll still stick with English in 5

Edit

Would this thread be the one to find the best black Friday deal on just a PS4 in Canada? If no sorry i'll edit and delete after response.
