Gaming PlayStation 4 (Console)

Thank you! Rocket League sounds really fun and will buy Gran Turismo too (was a big Need for Speed fan). Will get to the other two when time permits. All these games look great.

Rocket League is one of the best games ever definitely pick it up and Gran Turismo is what you'd expect from Polyphony. Wait until you've played the Witcher until you buy a big long game as that game is a total time sink you'll lose days playing it. Rocket League, Thumper and Dead Cells are great games to both get sucked into for hours but also great if you only have an hour or less to burn and don't fancy playing a game where only playing an hour is wasted.

Yeah, I want to take my time with the lengthy single-player games. Will buy them one by one only after I finish the previous one. Rocket League and Gran Turismo both have split screen as well so that's an added bonus. These two will be my first buys and will get the single player games after I finish Horizon Zero Dawn and Witcher 3.
 
Given in. Bought a PS4 Pro to upgrade. Unfortunately, the beautiful red limited edition spiderman PS4 Pro is sold out form game and they have no idea when, if they will restock.. so i've gone for a plain black one.. Spiderman, here we come... And then i'll sell my old one and get the new Madden and Fifa probably.

And probably replay Horizon and Last Of Us to make the most of the 4k prettiness.

Cant wait.
 
I really tried but couldn't get into Horizon. I think maybe it was the setting or something that I couldn't get into, and wasn't a fan of fighting horse robots but I feel like that wasn't the main reason. Can't put my finger on it.

I had the same feeling with GoW. Just couldn't get into it
 
Mine just arrived but won't be playing it until this evening unfortunately. Can't wait though!
 
Fully thought this was coming out on Xbox One as well for some reason. Playstation has all the best exclusives. Although this does look like it'll get repetitive.

I had the same issue. I just wasn't enjoying it all that much and still don't know why.

I couldn't either. Personally I loved the setting - I love the gameplay. But I actually found the combat too hard. I think I was taking on the really dangerous dinosaurs that didn't help. I eventually changed the difficulty to easy which made it loads better - but it was too late by then, I was hooked on God of War (it came out just after I'd started Horizon).

I read the story online so no need to go back to it.
 
Anyone got Dragon Quest XI? Currently downloading it right now, and very excited to get started. Turn based RPG’s forever :drool:
 
Mine has just arrived... now to wait 50mins so the fecker can install :rolleyes:
 
I’m seriously considering buying a PS4, to play things like Spider-Man, god of war and horizon. I don’t have a 4K tv though, and have no intention to buy one in the immediate 3 years or so, unless my tv craps out on me, which it shouldn’t. I should probably just buy a PS4 slim right? I have an Xbox one, but all my friends game on PS4 and I do like the exclusives I mentioned above.

In that case i would save the extra money and buy the slim, yeah.
 
My PS4 often ejects the disc at random. It’s doing my bleedin head in.
You have the same issue I had. Need to take it apart and stick masking tape on the bit where it hits the eject. It voids the warranty though. Loads of videos online about it
 
Is it worth upgrading to the Pro? Have the standard release one, have a 4k monitor too.

Yeah just get the slim and then perhaps upgrade to 4k with the PS5.

You will not see the benefits of Pro without a 4K TV really, save the money.

I got a cheap 4K to go with Pro though and the improvement was huge.
 
Can I buy Madden 19 on US Amazon and have it work on a UK PS4?

It's $40.19 vs £41 on the PS4 UK Store...
 
Ouch! Is it because there are low quantities of those cars, or a taxation system?

I do at least 32,000km per year. For now diesel is the winner in my rural part of Ireland :D

Thanks everyone. Does anyone know if there are any framerate drop issues if I went for the slim? I think god of war could cause problems couldn’t it?
 
So is this worth 65 quid on PS Store?

Is it only a single player game?

Did you make it to Meridian? The game didn’t really convince me until I advanced the plot after reaching Meridian.
 
Hope someone can help me and this makes sense..

So I know there are 2 qualities of hdmi cable. My new PS4 pro will come with the high one, but I *think* the others I own are the standard - which, again, I *think* includes the hdmi the would go from the PlayStation to the psvr unit I have.

Do I need to go and get another high quality hdmi cable in order to get the best quality through to the tv?

Will the lower quality hdmi limit what makes it through the vr unit to the tv?

That's not necessarily true, graphics and frame rates are improved depending on the game. Boost mode alone makes most games run much smoother.

Though whether or not that's worth the extra cash, is debatable.

No. Higher quality cables are generally a bit of a con, the only time they really make a difference is for 4k and even then it's not really likely that the super expensive ones are much better.
 
HDMI cables are a con. Most electrical retailers make the most roi on them as people think higher priced ones make the most difference. Only thing I would recommend is a gold plated cable as they are generally more reliable.

This. Either it sends the signal or not . Its a digital signal not an analog there for quality or the dropoff wont affect it. The only thing with it is it needs to support the data transfer .
 
Thanks @Redlambs @Levo @arthurka

Was worried that if I wanted true 4K gaming I’d need to either keep fiddling about with the wires and taking the vr out of the loop every time I wanted to play a non vr game, or buy another expensive hdmi2 cable.

Thanks again. Can’t wait to get my pro today. Had a nightmare with amazon delivery. Literally watched the delivery van drive past and then got the message it had been hand delivered to me. So I’ve had to wait another 2 days whilst they sort it - but due to the (massive) fuss I kicked up, I got £250 compensation..

Shit how did you get that? Amazon completely fecked up my delivery last year when I pre-ordered to get early release for Fifa and they "damaged" my product and just never delivered it and I had to wait over a week. I phoned up several times complaining and they didn't give a feck.

Where is the cheapest place to get PS+? CDkeys has 12 months for £39. Is that site reliable and is it the cheapest around?

I dunno, £39m seems a tad excessive mate.
