MZ posted:GTAV has some cheats but they are a pain in the arse because R* thought it would go all retro and you have to manually enter them each time (GTAIV & RDR gave you a cheat menu IIRC). Also the god mode cheat lasts only 5 minutes before you have to enter it again I don't think achievements have nothing to do with the decline in cheats, it would be trivial to add a check that blocks trophies unlocking if a cheat is activated. I think as games have got more complicated being able to cheat can potentially allow you to gently caress up scripting in games or otherwise lead you into an unwinnable state. Apparently the fast movement cheat in Uncharted 2 could let you get to places before they've loaded, for example. I do wish a few more games would take the extra time to add in a few cheats, like you say they're fun to mess around with.

G-Whizard posted:Yeah the streaming and remote play are definitely the stars of the show here. Although people saying that this finally gives them a reason to buy a vita is false. There are plenty of reasons to buy a Vita. The system owns. And I have no interest in the JRPG's that are on it. It rocks despite them. My hope when they announced remote play was that the Vita would finally get more recognition. So far it looks like that might be coming true. I can't believe there's no PS4/Vita bundle. I'd be all over a PS4/Vita/Camera bundle for $599.

Vrikkian posted:1.) Does PS+ time stack? 1) Yeah, if you buy a sub when you still have one active it just adds to the end of it. 2) If you look on your purchased media page on the SEN site the expiry date of a PS+ game will be the expiry date. On PS3 if you go to account management > Transaction management > Services List > Playstation plus it'll give you the start/end dates of your sub. I assume PS4 has something similar?

Rinkles posted:I'm really curious how Sony/content creators make money off of PS+. If there's a profit I have to imagine the margins are razor fin. I read an interview somewhere that said they don't have a standard 'deal' for free games for the creators. Some companies will put it up for nothing because it'll get people trying the game that wouldn't have bothered otherwise, especially if there's plenty of DLC or a sequel on the horizon. As an example, I had no interest in The Walking Dead and only downloaded the first 2 episodes when they were free. Subsequently I bought the rest of the season, the 400 days DLC and I'll be buying Season 2 when it's released. Sleeping Dogs is another game I'd have passed over but now I'd probably get any potential sequel.

Regarding PS4 re-releases, I think we'll get God of war 3/Ascension and Uncharted Trilogy 1080p/60fps collections, probably just before the next game in the series as a hype booster.

They've already said you can switch off the slow motion when you get spotted, and you don't have to use the tagging enemies thing if you don't want to. Just because you CAN shoot your way out of trouble doesn't mean you can't limit yourself and play stealthy. Adding more options for different playstyles doesn't hurt a game. Hopefully you can set the game to end if you get spotted like in MGS2/3 Euro Extreme mode for the old-school Metal Gear Experience.

Metanaut posted:Is it possible to buy games from US PSN store and play them on an EU account? I never got into that trickery with the PS3. Yes, just remember if you buy DLC it has to be from the same store as the base game, i.e. if you buy a game from the US store you have to buy the DLC from the US store too, even if the DLC is free, make sure it's from the same region or it won't work.

I don't understand why you buy a remote for the PS3/4. I've always found the dualshock does everything I need it to. OK, you need to manually turn it off once you start the movie but that's not worth $20. Can it be used as a universal remote for TV/cable?

I hope we get some good PS3 Vs PS4 comparisons around launch. I'll be getting a PS4 for sure, but probably not until summer and I want to see if it's worth just waiting it out or buying on PS3. Is there meant to be any carry-over between GZ and TPP in terms of unlockables or stats or something? If there is I'll probably just wait as it almost certainly won't be cross-gen if it is.

Regarding the streaming stuff, I assume US only doesn't extend to Canada? Hopefully the betas/launch here won't be too far behind. My guess/hope for pricing will be a netflix-style flat fee with a discount if you're a PS+ member. Maybe $X/month for Y hours streaming/month?

Apparently it only just became profitable, even after selling 5 million. Hopefully it'll be $20 in a couple of months or a PS+ game a few months before the sequel because full price is taking the piss a bit for a touched up last-gen game.

I said come in! posted:I've played Resident Evil 1, 4, and 5. How was Resident Evil 2? I remember the massive hype surrounding that game when it came out, but I had a Sega Saturn, so I never got to play it. 2 is in the old school RE1 style, if you enjoyed RE1 2 did more of the same but better in pretty much every way. It also had a neat duel-scenario set-up that I'd love to see another game employ, especially if they went further with the 'actions of the first player you use will affect the second run'

Most of the HD collections I bought were games I missed on the previous generation. Even the ones I had played had significant new content for me (The MGS collection had Peace Walker which was all new to me and I'd only played the vanilla releases of MGS2/3 so there was plenty of new content there too, I hadn't played Zone of the Enders 2 either) Apart from the Silent Hill collection, they've all been very well made (and even that was at least playable once it got patched)

That loving Sned posted:I'd really like to see a director's cut of Uncharted 3, since a lot of things had to be axed due to the strict deadline, smaller team, and Graham McTavish (Cutter) leaving halfway through production because he was cast in The Hobbit. Games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and even Ninja Gaiden 3 have had this treatment, but being released on the PS4 at 1080p60 would give even more reason to buy it. I would definitely play doughnut mode, especially if they altered everyones voice like they did in U2. They should replace all treasure with various types of doughnut though.

Curse you Amazon.ca when will you get PS4 back in stock (That isn't being sold by someone for like $650)  I know I could buy from another store but I have $200 in amazon giftcards to use. They'd better be in stock by the time Infamous and Metal Gear are released.

BreakAtmo posted:I really have to disagree with the idea that the PS3 was overpriced. Expensive, sure, but it was sold at a U.S.$250 loss and was both cheaper and technologically superior to the various stand-alone Blu-ray players available at the time. It also came with things like Wi-Fi built-in and the ability to use any laptop HDD you liked. It's probably a subjective thing, mostly based on how much you think Blu-ray mattered, but still. With the 360, if you wanted wireless wasn't it was another ~$100 and a decent sized HDD was comically overpriced. How much was the HD-DVD add on? If you actually compared like for like the PS3 didn't look too bad.

PhilippAchtel posted:Apparently the MSRP for ps4 games in Canada have gone up to $69.99 due to the weak Canadian dollar. Will that apply to digital games too? I've been considering going more digital because I don't have to pay HST, but if digital is cheaper too it'll make the choice easier. Or I'll just stop buying on launch day, you can normally get a game for less then $40 a few months after launch. Or it'll be free on plus in under a year

Tequila Sunrise posted:Awesome, thanks for the info. In your opinion will this service be free, or part of the PS+ subscription, or do you think it will cost money on its own? Sony haven't announced anything regarding pricing, but it'll almost certainly cost extra. We don't know if it'll use a Netflix model (monthly fee, play all you like) or if you'll buy permanent access to 1 game at a time. I hope PS+ members will get some sort of discount though. Maybe free PS+ games for PS3 will also be made free to stream on PS4 if you're a plus member?

Harlock posted:Sony is working on/testing rental options through the PSN store. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later and the prices aren't ridiculous. The leaked screenshot suggested you can rent games for 1, 7 or 30 days, although the price was just listed as 'free', which is obviously just a placeholder. I would hope the prices would be something like $2/1 day, $10/7 Days and $25 for 30 days although I think that would probably be optimistic.

Don't some games give you feedback via the light? Like in Killzone it changes colour according to your health? Hopefully if there's a GTA5 port when you've got a wanted level it'll flash red/blue like a cop car. Cool that you can turn it off if you don't want it though. Should increase the battery life right?
