Topic: The PlayStation Fan Thread

10 minutes? I didn't realise the PS4's so huge.

@SuperWiiU: I was looking in the usual places, bare in mind this room is rather dark where the PS4 is located, and the actual power symbol, to imply the power button, is unusually small.

But, Ive got a 3-month PS+ subscription, Mega Man Legacy Collection, Dust: An Elysian Tail and Axiom Verge downloading, and Mortal Kombat X in my bag.

@Volcanox: Don't feel so bad it took me a week to realize there was a power button on the PS4 itself, I only found it when I was dusting off my PS4 and all of a sudden it turned on. Before that I just turned it off using the controller.

Also awesome choice in games mate, Dust is a great game and Axiom Verge I still need to play but I have heard nothing but good things. Currently I am playing MKX and I am loving it.

@Tasuki: I had to find it to turn it on, as the DS4 wasn't paired.

I was waiting for these games. £340 is a lot of money to play nothing on. Also got PS+ for 3-months. Just need to fill up my friends list.

@Volcanox: You can add me man it will be a pleasure. My PSN is Tasuki3711. Also we have a Pushsquare community if you want to join that too.

@Tasuki: I'll add you soon-ish. Unfortunately people tag me as anti-PS but...no, just waiting for the right time.

@Volcanox: Great choices. If you've never played it before, Resident Evil HD Remaster is also amazing.

@Ralizah: Horror games yawn. XD Yeah that's a genre that outside of Doctor Who is about as interesting as grass growing for me sadly. It just never clicked.

@Volcanox: Sorry to hear that. I can't think of a genre I love more except perhaps RPGs.
I guess the good thing is that you don't have to worry about having missed the chance to play P.T. before Konami yanked it in a childish fit.

The PS4 is getting some pretty neat Western RPGs this year, if you didn't already play them on PC. Wasteland 2, Divinity: Original Sin, and The Witcher 3, primarily.

BTW, my PSN is in my sig if you want to add me. I hope you enjoy your new console.

Really thinking about getting a PS4 next year in time for Gravity Rush/2. I need to play that game sometime. Then there's also the need to play Uncharted, The Last Guardian, and LittleBigPlanet.
So even if it's only for Sony exclusives (I have a PC, so third parties go there), I really, reeeeeeeally want a PS4. At least, I think it'll be a far better investment than a Vita.

@Volcanox: Seeing as you have got three months worth of PS+, you may wish to grab the FOUR 'free' games that were a part of Septembers line-up; Grow Home (this won the first 'vote to play' poll that happened in August), Super Time Force Ultra (one of the best side-scrolling shooters on the market), Teslagrad and Xeodrifter.

This months line-up consists of Broken Age, Super Meat Boy and Unmechanical - all three will be available to download on Wednesday the 6th of October so, grab the games above whilst you can!

Also, I cannot recommend a game any higher than Journey on the PlayStation 4. It is an experience like no other.

Enjoy your new toy!

@Peek-a-boo: I'll see. I'm starting back at university for 52 hours a week on Monday

As for Journey....dear god. That...game? I know story and graphics are good and all the rage, but without a compelling gameplay skeleton to hold that meat on, it won't interest me. Journey, for the price, and what it does? I couldn't recommend it.

@VeeFlamesNL: I'm definitely getting one this year. Gravity Rush is something I've been wanting to play as well.

Sony has definitely stepped up their game in my opinion. PS3 had little to no games that I was interested in, but the PS4 has plenty; The Last Guardian, Tearaway Unfolded, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Journey, Gravity Rush/2, plenty of Dragon Quest games, Final Fantasy 7, and many more. Bloodborne is also out for a while and I'd like to play that one day as well. Can't wait until the holiday sales start.

@Volcanox: I was the same regarding Journey when it first came out; looks all style and no substance.

But then I actually played it, got to this part with another (human) companion:

And it was then that I understood why Journey had been given universal praise.

Like I said, it is an experience more so than a 'gamey game', and it is one that sticks with you long after you have finished the Journey itself.

Please don't make the mistake that I made, and judged it without even playing the game.

@Peek-a-boo: Who said I haven't played it?

@Volcanox: You clearly wrote that, 'it won't interest me'.

Perhaps I assumed wrong then? In any case, if you have indeed played it, it is rare to see someone dislike it so, but hey-ho.

@Peek-a-boo: The PS4 version wont interest me.

Again, its something I feel gets the balance wrong. There is a lot of pretty meat on that skeleton, but the gameplay skeleton isn't quite done and big enough to warrant the rest, you know?

Fair enough!

Have you played the game though, be it on the PlayStation 3 or 4? You seem to be talking in riddles regarding whether you have or not.

Out of the four games you have purchased, Axiom Verge is the real standout. Makes the wait for a new Metroid even more unbearable!

I also hope your new university term goes well for you too; fifty-two hours a week is a hefty amount indeed.

@Peek-a-boo: PS3, once upon a time on a friends system. It was....ok.

52 hours a week yeah. 12 for lectures, 40 for self-study (10 per class). Plus it's for 12 weeks, followed by 2 weeks off for Xmas, with 2 weeks after that where assignments are due in, then a week off, another 11 weeks before two weeks off for Easter, then 11 more weeks. All with 52 hours

@Octane: Oh, I almost forgot about Tearaway: Unfolded.
Man, I've never been so enthusiastic for a Sony console like I am with the PS4. Well, I was excited for the PS3 when it first launched in the place I was living back then, but the price was too high, and my enthusiasm died down eventually. My enthusiasm for a Vita never lasted long...
On the other hand, the PS4 is high up my alley, with a lot of games I want to play on it. Problem is, I already have a huge backlog of games across all my current systems (esp. Wii U) I still need to work on. In addition, I still have to buy some games across those said systems. Adding a new system into the mix? Hooo boy. And to make matters worse: I'm a freakin' college student, and college is kinda tough.
But don't worry. I'm very sure it'll work out... because I want to play Gravity Rush/2.
