The PS4 thread

[thatshortguy]

If Bethesda is potentially doing a Dishonored 2, it'd make sense to use the first game as a loss leader into preorders/purchases of the new title.

[Dan]

If they do that before Fallout 4 I'll be so sad.

[TCO]

I read somewhere yesterday that a Fallout 4 announcement is heavily expected at E3 and it'll only be on PS4 and Xbox One.

No real substance to it other than Bethesda hosting an event at E3, but here's hoping!

As if Ollie wasn't already having enough fun with OlliOlli as it is, OlliOlli2 is now available for free!

PS+ games for this month:

PS4 get Oddworld: New N Tasty and Valiant Hearts: The Great War

PS3 get Papa & Yo and Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishment

PS4 & PSVita get the aforementioned OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood as a crossbuy

CounterSpy is a crossbuy across all three platforms

OlliOlli 2 is wonderful! Manuals! Grind Switches! Launches! A Wild West level!

[Draevyn]

Either of the PS4 picks this month worth getting?

[9 to 5]

I am really enjoying CounterSpy. It won't win any game of the year awards but it is pretty fun.

[Maxx]

Either of the PS4 picks this month worth getting?

Either? Friend there are 4!

[probablyoliver]

And at least three of them are absolutely worth it (I haven't touched Counterspy yet).

Oddworld is one of the best PS1 games ever and the remaster looks pretty as all hell.

OlliOlli2 is pure twitchy fun.

Valiant Hearts will make you cry and it's just all round super bloody lovely.

As Niner said, CounterSpy is pretty fun. Haven't got onto the others yet.

Either? Friend there are 4!

I missed the cross buy ones. I'll probably pick them all up to at least check them out.

[BuddyAwesome]

Valiant Hearts looks pretty cool. How ia the gameplay?

[probablyoliver]

Fantastic. It's a puzzler but it's more rewarding than taxing. Lots of neat collectibles that teach you about World War 1 (if you're into that sort of thing), and a couple of boss fights which are three whole butt loads more fun than they have any right to be.

I bought it for about £8 a few months ago and it was worth every penny then, there's legit no excuse for not falling in love with it now that it's free.

[Mr. X]

So I just beat The Order 1886. I'd say it's a decent rental game of a franchise that could end up being something, but there are just small annoyances and inconsistencies that need to be addressed if they want to make this into a blockbuster IP.

Nikola's weapons and gadgets were typically really cool and fun, the actual shooting mechanics was generally good and responsive, and the story has something the build on. The main problem with the game is that once you beat it the first time there is almost no incentive to jump back into it and the story never really hits the mark as well as it should have.

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

Anyone pick up HELLDIVERS? It seems like a cool premise but on your own, it's nowhere near as fun as it is multi.

[Maxx]

Ah but on your own is one of the better ways to finish off early missions and get good gear. I did a challenging one by myself after failing with a teammate. But ultimately, yeah its at its most fun with 3 other people.

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

Yeah, I've went through some early missions to get samples and go about unlocking the mech/upgrading the UAV. Helldivers is awesome and I'm down for playing it all day today. PSN is A-NICE-HAT

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

After not really caring for Dying Light, I've just seen an ad for it and it looks freaking awesome, can anyone verify this new information?

[Baddar]

It's very good, yeah. Shitloads of weapons and from what I've played of it, a good story.

Concept is good too. Debating whether to head out or not at night is fun, but often not worth it.

[ZJ Penn]

Yeah I'd put it in the PS4's Top 10 easily. Lots of fun with some good variety.

[probablyoliver]

Apotheon might be one of the downright coolest games I've ever played, the fact none of you have put any time into it is a fucking travesty.
