PlayStation 4

Well, that and also:

• Marvel vs Capcom 4 is officially Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite! The 4 logo was bogus, but the game ain't!
  • Also, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is already on PS 4!
• Ni no Kuni 2 is happening!
• Wipeout, the first 3 Crash Bandicoot games, Parappa the rapper, Locoroco, and Patapon are being remastered for PS 4.
• lots more...

Christmas came early for me, you guys!

Wooooooo...

(Faints from overexcitement...)

I'm excited for Ace FREAKIN Combat 7.

AAAAAAAH, X IN MARVEL VS. CAPCOM INFINITE. THE CRASH REMASTERS LOOK AMAZING, SHOW ME SUM OF THAT 2 AND WARPED SOON PLEASE. And...the last of us...2

....Greaaaaaat, that deflated all my enthusiasm.

50 million and still rising. It's now the 13th best selling console ever and is about 11 million from passing the 3DS. It's on the same path as PS 2 according to projections but it remains to be seen if it will reach that before a PS 5 is announced.

(The Vita might've passed the Wii U by now but we haven't gotten any numbers on those for awhile)

I have a question. I'll be getting a PS 4 soon and I was wondering, is it possible to have more than one PSN ID, or would I have to still use the one I have for PS 3? I would like to keep my PS 3 and 4 trophies and DLC lists separate if possible so that they don't get prohibitively long.

Your PSN ID stuff carries over I believe. Like 99% sure it does but I was on the 360 last gen so I'm not sure.

I Ds stay the same but on PS 3 PS 4 only trophies do not show up IIRC and on the PS 4 and PS Vita you can sort the trophies by system.

They absolutely show up on PS 3.

You can always just mKe a new PSN for PS 4.

My PS 4 arrived! I have it set up and everything, but I won't have any games for it until Christmas. I mean, I could get one of the download-only games on my wishlist, but I'm replaying Xenoblade X right now and I want to focus on that.

This may be a little off topic but I want to be sure before I actually buy the game.

Can I play the Garden Warfare 2 story mode without a P Splus subscription?

Been searching on info about PS 4 Pro but I figured it wouldn't hurt to get an opinion or two from here;

For someone with a regular HDTV (1080p) does the Pro offer anything significant to justify the extra 100€?

Supposedly it's faster than a standard/slim, but will it show in any meaningful way?

Smoother framerate in games like the Last Guardian if you play in 1080p 30 FPS mode on the PS 4 Pro.

Yeah, read about that just a bit ago, and that just seems more like a dev oversight than an intended "feature"

Larger hard drive. And some games do intentionally have a better frame rate when you lock it to 30 (and some will run at 60).

Well, I've been eyeing at a Slim bundle that comes with a 1TB hard drive anyway. So that's a moot point.

And doesn't it require a dev to make an update for games that came out before the Pro to have a higher frame rate? Will most even bother?

I got a 1080p or "2k" TV as it's called by some. So a Pro seems like it would be excessive and wasteful.

Almost all the AAA games already have patches with most smaller devs making them right now. And while it takes a patch to run it in 4K, it'll still run smoother without one on the Pro.

Personally I think it's worth the extra money if only for the future but eh, it's up to you.

So most games would run a bit smoother on a 2k/1080p TV?

Guess I'll have to find some comparison thing somehwere that isn't pre-rendered screenshots on Sony's own website.

They'd all run smoother. Somewhat, at least.

Just looked up some PS 4 VS Pro in 1080 videos for reference. No noticable differences in smoothness, just the lighting looked slightly nicer on a Pro.

Which really doesn't make me want to spend an extra 100€.

My PS 4 is incoming. I have a used copy of Metal Gear Solid V, because FucKonami, and Uncharted 4. A friend owns the previous games and will loan them to me.

I'm 80% considering picking up a Slim bundle that has Bloodborne (I've been wanting that thing for ages now), Uncharted 4 and... No Man's Sky.

The last one doesn't really thrill me, but it's practically a freebie for the price of the bundle with otherwise two appealing games.

Well, I never played any of the other Uncharted games due to a lack of a PS 3 and PS 4, but hopefully I don't need to be some Uncharted super nerd to understand what's going on in Uncharted 4.

I'm afraid that's not true. Without a Pro-supported title the PS4 Pro will run in a mode that that limits itself to emulate the standard PS4 hardware, leading to no change in performance or image quality.

I kind of wish PS 4 had a "Michael" trailer.

Or that Sony just kept updating that concept with some "new" legendary feat Michael performed in the eyes of the game characters.

Rumor: Sony to allow European retailers to drop the price of the PS4 Slim to 199 Euro for a day in order to counter the Switch.

Theres a fun idea! What new characters would appear in a PS 4 "Michael" trailer?

Off the top of my head:

• A Guardian and/or Ghost
• Aloy
• Cloud Strife or the Chocobros
• Sora, Aqua, or a keyblade in the background
• Big Boss
• Trico

Alternatively Sony could just make We Are Number One but it's Kojima and Andrew House.
