It's a weird recurring trend that Yakuza games on PS4 block out recording during your first run of the game.

The only part I remember seeing the recording blocked notice in both 0 and kiwami was when I kicked off the final chapter sequence.

They fixed the PSVR so you get 4K and HDR on the TV without having to unplug the VR unit, right?

On newer units yes, although there isn't a way to update old ones, as the headset also got adjustments and the new breakout box apparently only works with new headsets.

The newer headsets have integrated headphones.

Just Cause 4 got an update changing some graphics settings. It doesn’t look fantastic on the basic model PS4 but it looks better than it did by far.

Ugh seriously? Are they at least removable? Glad I have a launch unit then, I guarantee my earbuds are better than whatever Sony packs in the PSVR box.

They're not integrated, there's a 3.5mm jack under there. The included earbuds just have super short cords to match their intended use.

They are easily removable. I use a nice over the ears set that fits nicely on top of the VR unit.

Yeah in fact that little "triangle" shape in the hinge is specifically to tuck the integrated earpieces into so they're out of the way, the packaging even still pushes ppl to get better headsets for a better experience. But it makes it easy to tell if, say, you're buying secondhand, what kind of unit you're getting.

Senran Kagura Burst Renewal is going to be released on January 22, 2019 for North America, probably later in the week January 18th for EU.
It's a remake of the first game's story, Senran Kagura Burst except with the Estival/Shinovi Versus engine.

$39.99 gets the base game on PSN
$49.99 gets the "Tailor Made" edition physical or digital. It comes with a DLC story for the character Yumi. Physical copies have a soundtrack while digital copies get a theme and costume in game.
$79.99 gets the physical "At the Seams" edition which comes with some character standees.

The game was delayed due to Sony requesting "Intimacy Mode" be removed from the game. While they're still high school ninja girls tearing each other's clothes off, you can no longer grab their boobs with virtual hands.

How noticeable is PSVR when upgrading to a pro?

Also I’m debating getting an HDMI switchy box or something so I don’t have to pull my system out every time I was to use my original headset. Anyone do this?

There are a handful of new additions that weren't there last week, like God of War and Castlevania: Requiem.

According to psprices, there are 113 new sales today. But I'm pretty sure sales from the last week are still present - I think Sony said they'd be doing overlapping sales weeks.

Edit: actually not sure about that number, as some of the stuff on the 'new' list, like Final Station, were also there last week. But yeah, there are some new things.

Depends on the game -- some big improvements, some small, and some games don't take advantage of the extra horsepower. Some examples off the top of my head: Rez gets a resolution upgrade that is noticeable due to all the crisp lines and particles, Battlezone gets realtime lighting/shadows in the cockpit, and RE7 no longer trashes the resolution in your peripheral vision.

The PS Store in the app still says “Week 1” of the Holiday sale so maybe it isn’t fully updated yet? The store has never been the cutting edge of technology so who knows.

A pro has some benefits with PSVR but I wouldn’t upgrade for it or wait on buying PSVR. Base model works fine.

Senran Kagura being changed is what cemented the idea of Sony being bad in the angry male gamer community. They announced the changes a couple months ago on a Friday night the same day the anime (which shows bare boobs) premiered. The angry tweets are still going to be there but outside of the really bitter people it should have subsided.

I enjoyed the two games I played on the Vita. They can get a bit repetitive, but they're not horrible or anything. Plus yeah, boobs.

They probably also didn't care about the boobie dungeon crawler or little sister and demon girl visual novel either but they have a persecution complex and seek out things to complain about.

I bought bloodborne in the sale. I've barely had this console a month and my backlog is piling up. I'm just running around on the streets now, but the combat already feels a lot better than the other DS games.

Also I've heard it's not too good, but I really want Steep for chill out snowboarding. It seems like Ubisoft is pretty aggressive with the pricing on ps4, just hoping it appears on the winter sale.

Is it worth getting the DLC for Bloodborne? I’ve never played a souls game but it’s 8 for the base game and 14 for the base plus DLC right now.

Any other good sales start this week?
