The PS4 thread

Battlefront is fun, but only really online.

Dying Light was pretty great from what I've played of it.

Which of these games should I get or not and why, faithful posters:

7 days to die, The Division, Star Wars Battlefront, Dying Light, Rainbow Six Siege, Tomb Raider, WWE 2k16, Dead Island or Alien Isolation.

Or should I just stick my vouchers on some game yet to come out.

The winner! Thanks everybody.

Dying Light  Iwill probably get next.

[Benji]

Didn't wind up playing it last night, but reading up on it, seems like it'll be quite fun. Less pure shooting, more actual team work and role functioning.

[DavidMarrio]

Rainbow Six Siege is a decent game. It's more akin to the original Rainbow Six Vegas. 

I remember being disappointed with Rainbow Six Vegas 2 as it seemed to try and copy Call of duty at the time.  

[RPS]

I think @Meacon bought 7 Days to Die on the PS4, but if he didn't... it got terrible reviews. 

[Meacon Keaton]

I did! I played it once! I have it for PC too, but I need to upgrade my computer before I can run anything not text-based.

[apsham]

I got it on the Xbox One and I've been having a blast with it.

[DavidMarrio]

Anyone else got the new Deus Ex? Brilliant game so far.  Loved the last one and I'm loving this one so far!

[apsham]

It's on my list of things I'm looking at. Pretty much the same as the last one? Not that it's a bad thing.

[Ruki]

I want it, but I'm a little broke at the moment. Hoping the wife or some friends get it for me for my birthday next month.

[DavidMarrio]

They've added some new stuff to it but so far it feels pretty similar (which isn't a bad thing as why change something drastically if it doesn't need changing) I'm not very far into it though but so far so good! 

[Avenged Probably]

I had no idea it was so soon! 

Should probably finish the last one  

[Liam]

Since it is on sale, does the GTA 3 trilogy hold up?

[Benji]

Not really. Still good games, but the series has come an absurd distance, and some mechanics (namely shooting) are ridiculously archaic.

Cheers. I'm not a huge fan, but felt there might be value in that sale.

Bully or The Warriors perhaps?

[Bobfoc]

Bully is good. Movement and combat can be a little clunky, but it's generally very playable and there's enough charm to the game world to separate it from other Rockstar games. From what I've read, though, PAL versions of PS2 classics run at 50Hz, rather than the 60Hz display found in the NTSC releases, and this causes lower frame rates. To be honest, I'm not sure I'd really notice, but it's an issue for quite a few people.

I think I'm in an unusual position with GTA because I played the GTA 3 trilogy on PC and can happily go back to it at any time. However, if I try to play it on a console with a control scheme other than the keyboard and mouse, I really can't get into it and it just doesn't feel right, simply because it's not what I'm used to. Most people I've talked to have completely the opposite experience because they originally played it on PS2 or Xbox.

[Benji]

Yeah, it holds up better on PC. Especially since the mod community had fun with it.

[Baddar]

Sony have added an extra layer of security to the PS4. The two step verification now means that even if they have your password, they'll need the unique code that gets sent to your mobile too.

Apparently, you can activate 2 step now, and will only need to do the sign in > code to phone process once as long as auto sign in is switched on.

Playstation meeting about to start!
