The system is just now getting to the point where some people are reporting finding some in the wild with slight regularity, so Sony would have to be in bizarro world to do a price cut at the moment. They're still beating out Xbox in total worldwide sales.
It'll probably be a year before you see a cut, at least. If you really want in, you could do worse than the Infamous bundle.
Cheers, figured as much. Now to hunt down a bundle for less than £400! Savygamer linked to a tesco one a couple of days ago which sold out quick
If you go on amazon uk, they have the standard ps4 on its own for £348.98 (and it's in stock), you can get Infamous for £47 as well... which is £24 cheaper than the bundle they have for Infamous + PlayStation.
Do amazon realise they suck at pricing?
Ohh, will have a looksie today. Maybe it'll arrive by the weekend
If anything, the patch broke the game; the loading times sucked, but I never had a crash or stuttering while playing before today, both of which happened to me.
I'm waiting for the PSN store to update before I can play.
I noticed today that Final Fantasy XIV is releasing for the PS4 on the 14th. Has anyone heard how it runs?
How it runs is not the issue... It runs smoothly... I played the free beta session .
The question is whether or not it's a good game and by all accounts... It looks to be.
Can confirm, game is good.
It also plays beautifully on the PS4, and is gorgeous. I play primarily on PC but have many accounts from others I play with that the game controls very well with the controller and you can do anything in the game just fine with it.
In short, if the game interests you, I would recommend picking it up, because it is quite good if you like MMOs (and a great starter MMO for those who have never played one!).

Not sure I like Merc. Kings. The concept seems fun, but the controls are way too loose for some of the platforming that they have you doing. Only played for an hour or so, but there's a few places where you're platforming over spikes and the Flying Robots seem to keep coming and knocking you off the side which is death since you can't actually hop back up.
The technical hiccups also don't do this game any favors, but with it being free for PS+ which all people playing Co-Op obviously have can't really complain.
Also there are already people streaming that Natural Doctrine game; looks ok'ish. Obviously can't tell what's happening beyond the basics, but other than it being an SRPG, not really seeing VC comparison.
Somedays I think I am the only person on the planet that did not think Valkyria Chronicles was very good.
I would love to see some people take another crack at the general idea with some tweaks to some core systems though.
To be fair, I've never beaten the game, and had to restart three times (once after losing a PS3 and again after inadvertently wiping my Hard Drive after thinking I could save my game saves to my PC). The game was so good I didn't mind the restart. Or grinding for EXP. I remember spending hours grinding that desert level, I had it down to like 3 turns to beat. So good.
I also loved that it wasn't this strict SRPG, had this weird real time hybrid mechanic (which totally makes sense) where enemies didn't just let you run up on them, and often you could get killed (or kill) by enemies trying to set up an attack.
Man just thinking about the game now makes me want them to develop a PS4 sequel - or do an update of that second one that came out for the PSP.
Anyone heard anything super negative regarding early impressions on this Bound by Flame game? Preordered it on Amazon after hearing about it today. Looks like it could be a fun action RPG, and I get a Kingdoms of Amalur vibe from it.

Haven't heard much of anything at all from it, other than it's potentially a little sexist which opens up all kinds of conversation I do NOT want to have.
Getting no impression is worse than anything positive or negative. And getting a Kingdoms of Amalur vibe I don't think is the best vibe they could be going for. Kingdoms of Amalur vibe for me is 'we made this MMO, but no one else is playing it but you'.
Out of curiosity is there a particular reason you guys want to turn off the light? I have never actually noticed that mine was one before.
You want that thing on while you're watching Netflix/Hulu+, just slurping battery for.. reasons?
I've never actually used Netflix or Hulu. I didn't think of battery life concerns, it had not occurred to me. I was asking a genuine question and looking for genuine answers, thank you for providing one.

You can set the controller to turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity. I've never gone below 2 bars on either of my controllers because of this. Turning it back on is a quick tap of of the PS button.
The light being on has never been a problem for me visually.
However I absolutely would love to turn it off to save battery.
Amalur was actually a really fun game, visually really incredible. My only complaint was that it was 'too easy'. The whole way 38 studios went down is a big shame. If Bound by Flame has a similar combat style it will probably also be a lot of fun, and that video makes it look like it has a *very* similar style.
I am actually surprised by how I'm not really enjoying Mercenary Kings as much as I thought I would. The load times are interminable. And I was spending an awful lot of time reloading until I figured out by random button mashing that you could press R1 to reload whenever you wanted, and then press R1 when the slider was in the green area to complete the reload immediately. Given just how much time you spend reloading, this should absolutely have been in the tutorial area, but as far as I can tell it was not.
So far I've just been doing single player and I could definitely see how multiplayer could be better.

So that's what the colour bars on the slider are for.
That was not explained properly...
As cool as it is for the nostalgia factor of pixel based games on my TV, I don't find mercenary kings that enjoyable. It's always going to lose out to Killzone multiplayer for me.
If you press R1 again during the yellow area, you reload immediately. If you press R1 again during the green area, the bullets reloaded into your clip will glow slightly in your ammo meter and deal 10% more damage.

It's actually a bit more technical than that. A yellow zone reload will just reload while a green zone reload will boost the reloaded bullets in your magazine. In this way it makes sense to fully empty your clip prior to reload so that you get a full amount of boosted bullets to improve your damage. Pretty sure this is a similar mechanic to the active reloading in Gears of War.
Ah, interesting. I don't think that was explained at all in the tutorial.
I also have trouble matching up the little bullet icons with their names. Like...I'm using soft point ammunition. When I'm looking at various weapon parts, you can see six bullet types and modifiers for them? I'm not sure which one is the one I am currently using.

Maybe it's because I've played Lego City Undercover on the Wii U and now everything seems lightning-speed in comparison
Hopefully it slims down the load times, which are stupid for a game like this.

Dreams can come true!
and to be fair i dont think the devs ever said that... Those were IGNs words lol
There is currently no way to but a system update sometime in the future will give you the option to dim it.

You can get those custom vinyl decals for less, they're not sticky and your controller becomes an autobot. Clearly the superior choice.

Is this thing mining bitcoins or something in the background?
Also, strictly speaking, it doesn't really add much to the experience and the battery life on the controller is kind of bad so every little bit helps.
Same here - never noticed it was even on. I thought it only switched on for motion control stuffs.

I think it could have been pretty good if it had a studio that still existed for more than a few days after release and fixed the difficulty issues.

I would wait for reviews personally.
Combat looks more like Risen than Amalur to me.

It's weird the way that works out.
Used to play split-screen multiplayer on a tiny little CRT TV and it was fine... use a 42" TV and it's unbearably small.

The combat looks boring. There in no weight behind the attacks, or any reaction to them. Like everyone is equipped with nerf bats.
