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

can't play knack w/out a ps4

I broke. They were out of GTAV/TLOS bundles, but I got one with the Pick One digital download instead (one of Destiny, Far Cry 4, NBA 2K15, Little Big Planet 3). Huzzah!

which download did you go for?

Not sure yet if I'm gonna pull the trigger or just sell the card on eBay. Leaning towards FC4 if I do pick

fc4 is fun, I'm playing it now. if you've played fc3 it's very similar - fixes a lot of the problems of that game but somehow I'm not enjoying it as much so far.

Also I cannot fucking STAND your character, a 90's-style "whatever man" 'tude dude that you're forced to endure through umpteen unskippable cutscenes.

lol him and the brother suck. still had fun playing it, the mechanics are pretty tight (excluding the lame banksy graffiti shit). liked it enough to grab first light which i'll prob like more since the neon stuff was the best part and she's a much more tolerable main char

FYI, a bunch of PS4 launch titles are on sale at Best Buy this week for $20 - Infamous: Second Son, Knack, Killzone: Shadow Fall. May bite.

I think Second Son is free on PS+ this month.

I think it's the Infamous dlc/expansion thing that's free on PS+ - First Light.

ah - that makes sense.

it's expandalone, right? still would rather play the main title first, but i don't think you need it

I believe so.

only one post on ILX to date mentions driveclub and then it's still only a C&P of a press release.

I just picked it up (in Hong Kong, for about half the price) and I'm enjoying it so far in a stripped down Gran Turismo kind of way. Haven't got onto much of the social stuff, partly since I don't know anyone else with it. I haven't tested out whether the disastrous online problems have been fixed yet either.

gawping at the rain physics on the windscreen is worth the price of admission alone.

i've got it. looks truly amazing but it feels pretty restrictive and dull compared to forza horizon 2, which I bought a couple of weeks before and is the most fun I've ever had with a driving game. the online component seemed to be working fine every time I've played but fuck a multiplayer imo

Super Mega Baseball, dudes

Best baseball game since Ken Griffey SNES

Active PlayStation Network Accountholders:

If you participated in the PSN “Welcome Back” program that followed the restoration of PSN service on May 15, 2011, you can get one of these three benefits:
• One free game for your PS3 or PSP (see the Claim Form for the games you can select), or
• Three free PS3 themes (see the Claim Form for the themes you can select), or
• One free subscription to PlayStation Plus online services for 3 months (this option is available only if you are not already a PlayStation Plus subscriber).

If you did not participate in the PSN “Welcome Back” program following the restoration of PSN service on May 15, 2011, you can submit a claim for two of the above benefit options.

Up to $10 million ($4 million for “Welcome Back” Participants, and $6 million for “Welcome Back” Non-Participants) in these benefits will be available (calculated at $9 per valid claim for one benefit or $18 for valid claims for two benefits) until the total available amounts have been reached. If your claim is received after the $10 million cap has been reached, you can get a free subscription to PlayStation Plus online services for one month instead (whether or not you are already a PlayStation Plus subscriber).

In addition, if you paid other companies for certain media services (specifically, Netflix or Hulu Plus) that you could not access through the PSN while the PSN was temporarily offline from April 20, 2011 through May 14, 2011 (the “PSN Offline Period”), you can get:

• Three free PS3 themes (see the Claim Form for the themes you may select), or
• A free subscription to PlayStation Plus online services for 3 months (this option is available only if you are not already a PlayStation Plus subscriber).

You must provide documentation in the form of credit card or other payment receipts or statements that you paid Netflix or Hulu Plus for media services during the PSN Offline Period that you could have accessed through the PSN but for the outage. You are not eligible for this benefit if you received a credit or reimbursement offsetting your payment, and you must also certify that you did not access those media services during the PSN Offline Period through some other means, such as by streaming media through internet-connected computers or ordering it on disc through the mail. Up to $1 million in benefits for such claims will be available (calculated at $9 per valid claim).

(see the Claim Form for the games you can select)

knack?

no ps4 games apparently!
dead nation, infamous, LBP, stardust HD, rain, puppeteer, "invizimals", god of war hd and a pile of PSP games

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).
