Gameplay and graphics were both average to below average. Again, that was just the alpha, so I have no idea how much it's changed by now, but I'm not expecting too much.

So, question for people.

All the other modern Sony systems (Vita, PS3) allow you to buy an English-language system and then use a Japanese account on it. Can you do this on a PS4? I assume so, but before I go out and plunk down 400$ for one, I'd like to hear either confirmation from Sony or from somebody who's actually done it.

You can and it has no regional check!

JagdPanther · 2014-02-23, 15:29

So, now that I know that I am moving to North Carolina for the next 8 months and will have some free space again, finally, looks like I should start planning for a PS4 purchase.

Can't wait. For the first time since PSX, I did not buy a SONY console on Day 1. I've let some kinks work out, hopefully, and now am ready to get a new system. The PS3 has been phenomenal. I've loved it. Some of my favorite games have been on it. But, looking forward to what a new system can bring. I'm irked that there's no backwards compatibility for physical discs, but it is what it is. I can always break out the PS3 to get 3 consoles' worth of backwards compatibility if I need to.

Anyone here jumping on the FFXIV beta bandwagon?
How come no one I know ever told me this was so freakin' good?

Duo Maxwell · 2014-02-24, 01:17

Well...there is a FFXIV thread, so I guess not many people will talk about it here.

I've been playing it on my PC anyway.

Chaos2Frozen · 2014-02-24, 01:23

Do you mean the game itself or specifically the PS4 version

?

Well most people said the story aspects of it sucked, gameplay seems to get some praise but boils down to armor raids fairly quickly, so... opinions are mixed. The ones that dropped it, dropped it hard.

Personally, I've played DOMO, which had 1 character 12 classes, so I've had my fill of the class thing long ago. And as for it being playable with the controller, which is the other thing that seems to draw people in (at least in my circles), I can play Vindictus with my controller if I want a controller game and I dont have to pay sub for that (which also has semi-coherent story too).

Chaos2Frozen · 2014-02-24, 17:04

Actually I thought the story was pretty hype at times... Once it properly kicks off

And it gets really hype in the later stages after the half mark point.

I tried it out of curiosity, though I didn't put much time on it. I don't plan on paying monthly sub. to play it. I'll come back to this game when it becomes f2p, which may possibly be never.

PlayStation Store begins two big sales tomorrow

Quote:

The first sale, “Back to 2013,” celebrates some of the year’s finest releases (as well as some games not released that year), including Ni no Kuni for $9.99 ($6.99 on PlayStation Plus), Dragon’s Crown for 24.99 ($17.49 on PS Plus), and Guacamelee! for $10.49 ($7.34 on PS Plus).

The second sale is all about PS Vita (with PlayStation 4 cross-buy titles included), celebrating the handheld’s two-year anniversary. You’ll be able to pick up games like Malicious Rebirth for $10.49 ($7.34 on PS Plus) and Hotline Miami for $4.99 ($2.50 on PS Plus).

I'm thinking of getting Dragon's Crown for my Vita... But I just noticed it says US PSN ~_~ And my Vita's profile is Asian... Damnit.

Its a shame that region switching isn't as easy on the Vita as it is on the PS3.

PS4 sells 322,083 units in two days in Japan

Vallen Chaos Valiant · 2014-02-25, 04:17

200k is bad, 500k is very good. So 322k is just about what was expected.

defki · 2014-02-25, 05:00

^ 500k would have been outstanding.

With 320k the PS4 is behind the PS2 (630k) and Wii (350k) and above the WiiU (308k). However both the Wii and WiiU launched during holiday season and the PS2 is the PS2.

If the shipment of 350k is true then the opening should meet Sony's expectations.

Now let's just hope that the PS4 won't collapse like the WiiU did.

Collapse like WiiU? I doubt it...

WiiU was a disaster; PS4 isnt.

defki · 2014-02-25, 05:32

While I don't think it will reach lol 3k WiiU levels (hopefully) there is no software to sell the console.

In the next months we have Natural Doctrine, Ground Zeroes and FF XIV. The first is niche and also on PS3 and Vita, the second is a glorified demo and multiplatform and the last one is a re-release.

And stuff like DS 2, Zestiria, P5 is still PS3 only.

It needs to stay above 20k weekly. It will do fine in the long run but right now I don't know.

Lexxus · 2014-02-25, 06:57

Let's see how will it do in the next few weeks. There were reports of OOS throughout and there's already 2nd shipment coming.

Westlo · 2014-02-25, 07:09

ps4 gonna fall down to 10k levels pretty quickly, there's no software to push it. Nearly every major game coming out for it this year in japan is a port.
