What does BIB mean? There are already PS2 classics out.

Liking the more players in party one but wish they'd just allow people to make folders to organise games and stuff.

Parties are a decent size, those who don't talk shouldn't be allowed in them. That's the problem.

Is that why you kept doing stupid stuff?

Good to know the problem is being fixed.

Nah that's just my Vita. Once the new controller comes I'll be able to play on the TV more but only really after 10ish.

Despite my Vita problems, I scored a great goal on FIFA last night and didn't lose possession as much

I think the problem is that some of those that do talk shouldn't be allowed in them. ;)

But they should increase the size of parties - 8 is too small.
 
An appear offline mode or even just busy/away is much needed imo. Unless I'm missing this type of feature somehow.
 
Are they adding xtra players to it aswell? This thing with only 4 controllers at once is really shit..

People have been asking for those features for years. No idea why they cant/wont add them
 
Question, I got my PS4 back in January.

So far I got Fifa and Fallout.

Any recommendations as to what gamez I should get?

I like sports and RPGs (Skyrim, Fallout, Witcher) etc

Would go for Skyrim and The Witcher - sound like they will be your cup of tea.

Elder Scrolls Online might be worth a look. If you want something slightly less 'fantasy' from an RPG, then The Division is looking good.

Wouldn't say The Division is anything like The Witcher or Skyrim

@Slevs Dragon Age Inquisition and Divinity Original Sin are the only other decent RPGs I can think of on PS4

Why not? :confused: Because it is set in a modern, realistic setting and has guns and not swords? Ridiculous.

It is an open world RPG. It has crafting, abilities, randomly dropped & tiered loot that can be enhanced with mods to compliment different builds. It has a story, main missions, side missions and random encounters.

I'd say it's pretty similar, in fact.

No it's not the guns as Fallout has guns and that's like Witcher and Skyrim. I guess it feels more like Destiny than Witcher to me and in my mind RPG means something else.

If it's not the guns, then what is it??

There's no real crafting in Destiny. You can't enhance weapons with mods. There's no scope for different builds or roles, only different abilities. Destiny is a shooter. The Division is an RPG.

The only real difference between it and Skyrim or Witcher....is guns and a modern, non-fantasy setting.
 
Anybody got Far Cry Primal, only just started playing it, now it got Install Progress and it's stuck on 94%

GDC 2016: SONY DATES PLAYSTATION VR PRESENTATION AND HANDS-ON DEMOS

PlayStation VR hits the road.
Sony has sent out invites for a PlayStation VR event being held in the middle of March.

The invite-only event will be held on March 15 in San Francisco. The "exclusive press event" will begin with a presentation on the PlayStation VR, formerly code-named Morpheus. That begins at 2pm PT, followed by several hours of hands-on demos.

The event will be held as part of the 2016 Games Developers Conference. With the $600 Oculus Rift coming soon, and the Vive coming in at $800 in April, will this be the event where Sony reveals PSVR's price and date?

Surely we will get price and release dates then - I think around $299 for the standalone headset, then bundles with Move controllers and camera.
 
PlayStation VR is the only way I'd get on the VR train. Now i own a decent but not top of the line PC (i5 4590 + GTX970) but the Vive and Rift are both too expensive for me. I suspect this will be the case for most people as well.
 
So how good is VR actually going to be? I saw an early video where they were showing a test game where you could interact with things in a kitchen. Obviously it was more about setting the parameters for what you could do from a physical perspective rather than showing cutting edge graphics but even at that it seemed slightly underwhelming.

Obviously though games like COD and Resident Evil could be amazing in VR once the technology catches up but for now is it going to be just a fad with below par games with similar objectives.

I've played on my mates Oculus Rift set (he runs a PC/newtworking store and has access to all new technology) and he has a formula 1 game. He built a chair added a Ferrari F1 car steering wheel with flappy paddles and pedals too. The game's graphics were pretty basic but the VR was amazing. It's really strange how you look behind you and you see behind the car and look down and over to your side and it's as if you are actually leaning out of the car, you can see the ground moving past, the wheels etc. It's also strange because it's very disorientating too, but the novelty wore off very quickly for me and I certainly wouldn't be paying for it. He's a car racing nerd so he loves it and I can see the appeal in a way, but not for me. Maybe online shooters when the technology expands and improves, or flying/fighter pilot/helicopter/space games but aside from that, meh, not really arsed about it. I thought golf could be quite fun, but then i'd much rather actually play a game of golf. I can see it being like 3D movies and only really working with certain types of games and having limited appeal after a short amount of time one the initial wow factor has worn off.
