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

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.

Finally hooked this thing up. What is this REAL NAME crap

goddammit bloodborne, so mad that you made me get this stupid thing

things i will be trying shortly: transistor, Rogue Legacy, Outlast, Road Not Taken, Towerfall Ascension, Secret Ponchos, Injustice, Infamous First Light

Crazy deal right now on Amazon - $400 gets you a PS4, Bloodborne, a digital copy of The Last of Us Remastered, and a $20 GC

That said I bet this is a precursor to a new model coming out soon

sons of bitches put that up LITERALLY the day after i bought mine.

MLB The Show 15 looks amazing on the PS4

oh shit that came out yesterday!!! i completely forgot. know what i'll be doing tonight.

have they patched the loading times in Bloodborne yet

isn't going to get fixed for a while but tbh it is really not that bad

play knack in meantime

this looks great, i should be playing it shouldn't i

it's pretty good! i was terrible at it but i enjoyed it despite having no real idea of what was going on.

since i played it last they've added an editor you can use to create your own ships so maybe i should go back and create the cock-and-balls-shaped death machine i've always dreamed of

A PS4 Thread: Because You Really Do Have to Play Super Mega Baseball

I have only had it for a day or so and I can already tell that I will probably play it forever; too bad there's not a Vita version so that I can play on the road though

FINALLY someone else got it

May:

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
Ether One
The Unfinished Swan
Race the Sun
Hohokum

...I'm excited to take Hohokum for a spin

I got a ps4 and haven't touched it in months ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
