I might want to try Persona 5 NG+ someday but only if there is a way to DRASTICALLY cut short the non-interactive parts, which can go on for weeks of game time. I dunno if fast forwarding every cutscene would even put a dent in it because you have to choose meaningless response choices, characters keep walking around and it keeps sending you back home only to sleep and save the game, etc.

NG took me ~110 hours, NG+ took ~20.

Lirik is streaming Hellblade now, and it's a loving amazing mindfuck. It's like Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube with internal monologues all over, and the graphics are crazy.

He's playing it on PC, though, can't vouch for how it'll look and play on conosle.

I don't know what a Lirik is, but this sounds kind of cool. I'm still going to be waiting for a sale, but I'm looking checking this out. I'm glad it isn't just a Souls-like.

The moment Eternal Darkness hooked me was when I walked into a hallway filled to the brim with shotgun shells in a line, started picking them up anticipating a boss, then on checking my inventory they all disappeared.
I've still yet to find a game that gave me the same feeling as back then.

Pro users can get 60fps in Performance Mode scaled down to a lower resolution (I'm guessing 1080p) or 30fps @ 1440p. PSPoor just gets the 30fps.

I'm playing it on Steam and with a 980ti and i5 I get a consistent 45-55fps @1440p on Very High settings. You definitely need a pretty good system to max out everything on PC.

Thanks for the info, I might get it on PC then, splurged on a 1080ti recently and it would be nice to give it something to stretch its legs on.

Hellblade reviewing really well is the "too much winning" point for PS4 games this year.

I'm still working my way through FF12 and Kiwami is out in a few weeks along with Everybodys Golf. And i still have to take Wipeout out of the shrinkwrap. And play the Life is Strange prequel. And there's the Uncharted and Horizon DLC. And GT Sport.

This is a loving bonkers time for gaming.

I preordered Hellblade and am annoyed to see it didn't bother downloading it overnight like it's supposed to. Luckily the internet where I am is pretty good but it'll still probably take a bit.

I told you so...
This reminds me: I recently set my primary PS4 to a friend's. I know that remote downloads (and remote play, and remote anything) is set to his PS4, but does anyone know if I preorder anything on the PS4 itself, will it preload correctly? Will it start downloading automatically?

My semi-educated guess is that I would have to start the preload manually (it probably wouldn't start from Rest), but that it would then download and unlock fine afterward, but I'm curious...

PS4 remote question: I have a remote that works really well. After the last patch, the remote is not turning my ps4 on. I have to turn it on some other way like with a controller, then after I've told the ps4 who is using the controller (I have to use the controller to do this) the remote connects and I am able to turn off the controller and use the remote as normal.

Before this last firmware patch, I could turn on the ps4 and use the remote without touching a controller. If anyone's unclear, I'm using this thing:

(of course, I bought it like 8 months ago and it's already the loving 'old model' on amazon): https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-...QY30FVKCZNDCY06

How's Uncharted 4 Multiplayer these days? I tried it out at 4's launch but it felt kinda bland with the gunplay and map design. Did it improve or is it dead? If it improved I might buy Lost Legacy since I really like Plunder

Legacy had the Uncharted 4 MP in it and it's compatible with both games, so there'll be a healthy population this month, and then it'll empty out again.

Lirik is one of the biggest (and best) Twitch streamers. You can't DVR his stream until it ends and gets archived as a VOD, but here's an opening clip from his current playthrough: https://clips.twitch.tv/SaltyFlaccidLatteRitzMitz.

Game is friggin' gorgeous.

He only started playing a little less than three hours ago, so who knows, maybe it gets dumb later on, but for now, it's a great watch.

You should also either play this with headphones or surround sound to do the soundstage justice.

Yeah, I always turn on my PS4 before I leave for work that day just in case. The console should go to Rest mode after downloading anything hopefully, but it's annoying how you can't trust that feature.

That's odd. I didn't think there was anything but the PS4 remote and physical button that could power on the PS4 when it's completely off, because reasons

Hmm wouldn't it just start preloading on his ps4? (Assuming it was on or in rest mode) just start the download using your ps4 itself and should be fine...I think?

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

Don't really know where else to post this but I'm having a very strange issue. My TV normally works fine, but whenever I turn my PS4 on and switch to the HDMI input for it, my TV will just continually turn off and on again. The PS4 will either have the blue or the white bar pulsing rather than flat, and when this is happening I can't turn my tv or my PS4 off without holding down the power button on the PS4. Sony Bravia TV, will post the exact model when I'm back home. Tried replugging everything obviously and unplugging everything from the PS4 and pressing the power button which someone online recommended, didn't seem to do anything.

Atari and Jeff Minter are making Tempest 4000 for "current generation consoles" and PC this Winter. Also includes HD remaster of the original Tempest.

After everything about TxK I'm kind of shocked to see this but it's still pretty sick! If it's anything like TxK then it'll be worth it for the soundtrack alone.

Me too. It looks and sounds fantastic. The puzzles are cool, and I dig the feel of combat so far. Still getting the hang of it. It's deeper than it looks.

There's a photo mode, but I haven't played with it yet.

I cranked my surround sound volume all the way up.

Also there's a run button.

At this point I'd be more upset if ND hosed up tlou2 multi instead of story.
