The PS4 thread

[Draevyn]

I had to go all over town, and probably bought the last one in town but I am now a proud PS4 owner. I couldn't find a copy of Watch Dogs left in this town either so I wasn't able to get that but I did pick up MLB: The Show, Assassin's Creed IV and Killzone so it's not too bad. It'll be a couple weeks before I can get Plus though. I don't generally play online though so is Plus worth getting at this point?

[apsham]

Free games. Yes.

Though you could wait for a month that had a game you wanted to start.

Also, holy crap you chose a good weekend to buy something you have to stay indoors for.

Plus is great, can't recommend enough.

[Bobfoc]

As long as you don't have a particularly low data cap, Playstation Plus is a must-have at this point. 'Discovering' great games that you might not necessarily have thought to purchase is a truly great thing.

I now regret saying this if your power has been off as long as mine has (aka, still off).

Yeah it sucked. I fired it up Friday when I got home from work. Got to play a couple hours then. Saturday was a wash as power went in and out most of the day until finally going out about 3 in the afternoon. We just got it back yesterday at 4. I fired it up and played Assassin's Creed for about 2 hours before I had to go somewhere else to eat as everything in my fridge was ruined. Stupid power outages. So I basically looked at my PS4 all weekend and dreamed about what could be.

I'm on plus, so what exactly saves to the cloud in terms of save files etc.?

Basically, I'm looking to carry my FIFA save over when I'm at my gf's, but I don't know if it'll be there automatically when I sign in on my account.

[Bobfoc]

There should be a way to check which files have been saved to the cloud. Wherever the game save section on the PS4 happens to be, I'd imagine there's probably a Playstation Plus Cloud area on there too.

If its anything like the ps3, he's right should be in that area. Look where your game data is, should be in there. Then upload your save, download at your girls.

[Baddar]

Thanks guys.

Not many (if any) golf fans here, but The Golf Club has been submitted to Sony and should be released in the next 4-6 weeks, which I'm really looking forward to.

It's got what I wanted the PGA games to have for years, a course creator - but it looks very in depth too, which could be amazing. Add to the fact that there's no load times between holes, and that you can share/play community creations at the touch of a button with no waiting times makes me very excited to give the game a go.

I think it's going to be somewhere in the region of £30. Better get some PS cards bought.

Is that on Xbox too? Sounds interesting but the name reminds me of that DriveClub game that came out for PS4.

[Baddar]

Yeah, it is. Digital only on all platforms.

Apparently you can hit one button and it'll load random holes on courses you've never played, too, to keep things fresh.

Their creation system is so in depth that Greg Norman has put his name to it, so that his company can use their course creator to make real life courses.

[Meacon Keaton]

You can play your friend's courses, but is it multiplayer?

[Baddar]

Yep. Local and online.

As well as going up against friends "as live" playing against a ghost ball on a course they've already played.

[Bobfoc]

I've heard the game is fairly challenging, particularly in comparison with the Tiger Woods games. I'd be interested in trying it out, but I imagine I'd be terrible at it.

[Baddar]

I'd rather it be hard. I hated the online aspect of Tiger Woods. Live Tournaments were great in theory, but when you're going up against people who have smashed the course for -54, it gets rather annoying.

[Baddar]

There's also a chance (though unconfirmed, the devs aren't even sure yet) that the courses will be cross platform, so I could make a course on PS4, and Dan could play on the One, for example.

[ZJ Penn]

Am I going blind or is there no Destiny thread?

Anyway, the Beta is awesome. Probably sold me on a PS4 when the inevitable bundle hits at launch. It's what I wanted Borderlands to be. Really, really impressed.

[Ruki]

I played the beta for an hour or two, wasn't really impressed.
