A PS4 Thread: Because You Had to Play "Knack"

quick heads-up: if you buy the dying light season pass for $20 from gamestop.com at the moment you'll end up with a code for the full game. whoops.

is this the first open world zombie game of 2015

ok, fine, a friend sent me a Groupon for the Last of Us bundle and i pulled the trigger.

theres gonna be a bloodborne bundle supposedly

noooo, i checked for that and it looked like europe-only.

eu doesn't deserve it, na made demons souls a hit

that would probably sell me on the system

Bloodborne is the only reason I'm buying it, so their little plan worked.

lol @ the order reviews

nice to see the gaming press doing their job for a change

any partic good ones?

ppl calling it 'do not order: 2015'

the "Ready At Dawn, finish by lunch" joke got me

Ok I've got one of these now, for a crazy low price thanks to a friend moving to Japan and selling all his stuff off. So far it's a Destiny prettifier, but there's a ton of games I've acquired via PS+ over recent months which I've mostly not really heard of. Any recommendations amongst that stuff?

"that stuff" meaning Contrat, Don't Starve, Outlast, Mercenary Kings, Stick it to the man, Pixeljunk Shooter, Trine 2, Doki Doki Universe, Strider, Towerfall Ascension, Road Not Taken, Sportsfriends, Velocity 2X, Dust: An Elysian Tale, Pix the Cat, Escape Plan, Steamworld Dig, Secret Ponchos, Titan Attacks, The Swapper, Infamous First Light, Apotheon, Transistor.

there's a lot of good stuff in there, depends on what you're into. They're all worth trying out for sure, but i particularly enjoyed don't starve, strider, steamworld dig, the swapper and outlast. Infamous is worth a look as a showcase for what the ps4 can do graphically and if you've got a 3dtv trine 2 looks amazing in 3d.

Towerfall rules

^^ run don't walk to the nearest gamestop or whatever and get 4 controllers and play lots of Towerfall

that's $180.00 for 3 controllers :(

divided by the 180 hours of delight playing Towerfall with your friends will give you it's not too bad.

smh

Thankfully, I don't have 3 friends. Going to pick up a second pad today though for Injustice and spit screen Garden Warfare (which seems like a fun time) so I'll be able to try Towerfall x 2, at least.

Outlast and Trine are also high on my todo list. But thanks for the recs, I'll give all those a go too.

Vita remote play is amazing btw, surprised how well it works. Destiny in bed is a killer app.

im playing the swapper right now, pretty cool platformer via cloning. limbo meets portal?

i'm in the ps4 club now. my display name is, perplexingly, brillidotam -- add me!

ooh, The Swapper looks great, ty.

i finished it in a night, its great though. claymation aesthetic, nice soundtrack, bizarre well-written story

downloaded it to play with my gf (she solves the puzzles, i push the buttons).

PS+ March

Starting things off on PS4 is Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee — New ‘n’ Tasty! This side-scrolling adventure reboots the PlayStation classic with new visuals, new sound, enhanced controls, and even more dark humor than before. Also coming to the PS4 lineup is Valiant Hearts: The Great War. This colorful puzzle game carries with it a heavy subject matter, as it follows four intersecting lives (and a loyal canine companion) during the first World War.

On PS3, gamers with PS Plus can download the critically-acclaimed Papo & Yo, alongside the wit-inducing Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments. And on PS Vita, watch out for OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood and CounterSpy.
These games will be available for Plus members when PlayStation Store updates later today.

that's a pretty lousy lineup imo

valiant hearts is pretty terrible btw; tried it on ios

imo these things are kind of about games that aren't "awesome" but things you maybe wanna try and will maybe stick in your head?

i am pretty excited abt this lineup, valiant hearts at least seems interesting, plus olliolli looks cool so i wouldn't mind messing w/ the second one. i will probably fuck w/ counterspy too.

i never really played Oddworld, so i'll check that out for sure.

last month was crazy good so i knew there'd be a come down

i did want to try Valiant Hearts though, even if it sounds bad

I liked Valiant Hearts a lot, but I played it on PS4 so maybe there's a difference by platform, or maybe Mr Forks and I just have very different game tastes.

I loved the original OlliOlli but I definitely don't feel like I want to jump into a sequel yet. Accelerated iteration in indie gaming doesn't do anyone any favours tbh (see also the fact that Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is out already).

tbf i think that dev just realizes he has his 15 minutes of fame and is milking it as much as possible. FNAF came from his (unintentionally creepy) Christian shovelware!

oddworld and valiant hearts look interesting. i didn't see papo & yo on the ps3 store but maybe it got added later?

gave up on valiant hearts. oddworld is fun.

Olli Olli 2 is a must ... Tony Hawk meets Trials? Yes please.

Counterspy is more my style than Oddworld so far. Both are well worth the price of free.

Valiant Hearts is pretty strange, but oddly addictive? Very easy, but some fun puzzle wrinkles. The ugly art style had me wondering if Behemoth were involved but I guess not.

it was a little too easy and couldn't stand the art style

http://www.avclub.com/article/upcoming-ps4-update-finally-let-players-reconfigur-216512

Version 2.50 of the PS4 system software will finally let players configure controls however they want, for any game. In other words, if you want your circle button to mean “jump” and your L1 button to mean “slide,” you can make that happen, even if the game’s creator didn’t want you to.

IN YOUR FACE, GAME CREATORS

you can make that happen, even if the game’s creator didn’t want you to even if the game's creator didn't have the budget to create a wholly customizable control scheme architecture and instead chose to spend that money on making a video game.

...but seriously: this seems like a bit of a pain in the ass, since it sounds like you're telling the ENTIRE PS4 that "x now means triangle and r1 now means l1", not like "oh here's my helldivers profile where i move reload to square instead of stupid r1"

Weeaboos and Tim Rogers will use this feature to swap Circle and X back to their rightful roles presumably

i will use this to invert the Y-axis on games that inexplicably don't offer that option (looking your way telltale games)

Might not be an option if it was just designed for accessibility.
