Game

[cool breeze]

I watched that part again to see what you were talking about, and what are you talking about?

if you go to about 15 minutes in, you'll see what I'm talking about. When he pushes on the back corner, the opposite corner raises like a quarter-inch. Not a big deal, it's just amusing is all.

oh, ok.  I thought you meant it was wobbling.  it looks like sits flat if you don't weigh it down on that one end...has anyone ever placed a controller on it?

The studio is getting one on Friday, and I think my boss is buying one. I can't justify $400 though, I'm poor and shit (and need to finish reading a really cool book on the KLF)

[Bebpo]

just curious: who here is actually buying a PS4 on friday? 

Getting one from Amazon on Fri.  First new console in a while since I skipped Wii U and am skipping Xbone.  Pretty much all Sony & PC at this point as I lent a friend my Wii a year ago and will be unplugging my X360 to make room for the PS4.  So will have PS2, PS3, PS4 hooked up & HTPC for entertainment systems (+ 3DS/PSP/Vita).

Sony isnt licking your balls because of Galak Z?

[AdmiralViscen]

Mine has been preordered on Amazon since it was announced. Got BF4 for free with promo credits, then bought KZ to get NFS free too.

Who is this mysterious Chris Charla fellow you speak of, we've never heard of such a character

[MCD]

He will exist after launch, sometime in 2014.

We promise!

RIP Sony's best-in-class hardware design :'(

Might be smart to upgrade the drive.

it's prolly missing a rubber or two

edit: and yeah, upgrading the hdd should be done from the very start. hitachi hdds

At least you CAN upgrade the HDD at launch.

Can't do that on the Xbone (at launch)

yeah, at first 500gb seemed adequate for the first few years.  now with games averaging at 35 gigs with mandatory installations, it's as bad as the 60 gig PS3.

84 gigs for applications, though.  I wonder if a chunk of that is that included double fine game giantbomb keeps talking about.

[Himu]

Included Double Fine game?

The only way they'll sell a game.

[hampster]

I know people were saying they really like the dual shock 4 but seeing Jeff Gerstmann causally drop "I'd rather play the game on a Dual Shock 4" over other controllers in an article is just weird. Such a change from last gen

Personally I've always been bicontroller

Mr. Fryinghigh said that of the 84 gig the giantbomb crew has used up on their ps4 is a supposed "included doublefine game".

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Every PS4 comes with Playroom; its the double fine developed tech demo.

Mostly likely taking about The PlayRoom which is a game Double Fine is making content for

[Eel O'Brian]

Hopefully you can delete it to make room for a real game

What is the funny kagari quote, gaf is down

[huckleberry]

just got back from gamestop. they had a ps4 demo station there.

got damn is that controller nice.
camera thing is freaking tiny.
knack looks like balls.

You might not be able to.

That hard drive space picture on the last page is slightly misleading.  You have 408 gigs of free space.  That 84 gig application folder holds three retail games.  So however large the playroom is, it looks like it's part of that ~90 gig OS chunk.

And parts of playroom might work without the camera.  I read that "motion" typing is an option without the camera (like typing on the wii where you move a cursor around).

People complaining about the wobble, all she can do is reply with.

i don't think i ever synced trophies on the ps3, maybe if they made you do it the first time

fuck trophies, i want the option to remove them entirely

[Purple Filth]

You still have to SYNC TROPHIES?

 

if its like Vita then its a massive improvement

the reason I can actually sit down and beat games on my ps3 is because I don't give a fuck about trophies

[demi]

The same way PS3 does. When you check trophies... it syncs. Except Vita is pretty quick in comparison to PS3's slog ass.

[Purple Filth]

How does vita sync trophies?

it goes through similar process but it doesn't obstruct the screen while doing it so you can be checking on other stuff or even view the trophies you currently earned, plus its way faster (at least mine is).

Add that auto-sync stuff (which is apparently free for all PS4 users now) and it does alright.

The reason I got rid of my PS3 was for shit like this. Forcing me to make several updates to a game when I want to play it, which could take an hour at times, a weird UI (wanna play a movie off a thumb drive? MAKE SURE YOU PRESS TRIANGLE INSTEAD OF X). Individually, its not a big deal, but XMB just had so many fucking annoying traits to it. Playing a game was just so much easier on 360.

I really hope that doesn't happen again.

Apparently all that shit will be done in the background now so we'll see how it goes

[Eel O'Brian]

I expect a grand clusterfuck on launch day for both consoles

I don't figure on actually being able to play anything online for at least 3 days

I regard that $10 PSN card in the PS4 box as a preemptive apology

[cool breeze]

if we're assuming PS4 will have Vita features, it has a better solution to updating games short of automatically updating games in the background like Steam.  Vita tells you when there's a update and you can download it without launching the game.  it's always annoying when I launch a game and get booted from xbl for a new update.

edit/tangent:
man, steam is awesome.  I take it for granted.  it automatically backs up my saves online so I can easily switch between laptop and desktop.  a ton of stuff I want for these console interfaces exist on steam, like having your purchased but uninstalled games in one list.  PS3 and 360 lump every purchase into your download list along with everything else, hidden away in the accounts menus.  That's a reason I rarely uninstall games on PS3/360; I'll forget about owning Aegis Wing or Trash Panic.

[Himu]

With both systems starting from level one in regards to their dd libraries what dd games can you even play at launch?

Mojo I have a good feeling about ps4 in that regard. Problem with ps3 is that it was overly blown up with promise. Ps4 era Sony has stayed relatively grounded but we will see.

[Himu]

I hate this.

[Mupepe]

when I get booted from xbl for the update at least it only takes a couple of seconds.  It took an ungodly amount of time on my PS3 to update anything.

[MCD]

360 latest dash made the title or the game updates automated. not in the background, sadly but at least it won't ask for a prompt every time you boot the game.

must be turned on in the system settings. it's off by default.

[Himu]

Yeah, ps3 updates are way slower. But to be fair, they're bigger. Iirc, Oscar told me once xbl is only allowed to have five patches per game at any one time due to server space. Ps3 installs ALL patches apparently.

[fistfulofmetal]

Got my games!

[tiesto]

I'm an engineer, does that mean I have a shot at getting some nice sweet moustache rides from Kagari? 

[fistfulofmetal]

Interesting. Killzone and AC4 have "Remote Play" as a thing on the back of the box. Knack does not.

[patrickula]

Dualshock 4 issues already cropping up have me kinda concerned.

what issues?

[cool breeze]

maybe referring to vita specific controls? iirc all games support remote play using the default layout (reach around for L2/R3) and some offer controls suited to the vita's limitations.

it's sounding like remote play will be limited to 720p 30fps streaming at launch, similar to the nvidia shield, which recently added in 60fps support.
