The game looks fun from videos. I'd join you if I had a PS4.

It is a lot of fun. I played it for an hour before I even realized how long I'd been playing. Felt like ten minutes. 😀

Can we do it online? Super Stardust HD was a lot of fun co op, but extremely confusing, lol.

I assumed it was online co-op. Not positive though. If it is I am going to hit up some of you jamokes to play a game or two.

it's coop is online, you get to choose private or public when you hit the option, never gone past that screen though, been playing mainly bf4, maybe i will do some rounds of rezogun tonight
 
i game on 140" 1.78 and watch movies on 170" 2.35, there is a major difference between 720p and 1080p. i need 4K resolution. please stop gaming on TVs.

1080p projectors are under $1000 nowadays with zero input lag.

Thanks,

please if you are going to be all high and mighty about high end gear and setups, don't talk about buying budget projectors for under $1k.

you probably have a sony 5.1 htib as your sound system too don't you.

Ah cool. I'll probably be watching the game, but I will try to get on for some Reso tonight or tomorrow.

I know it's totally nerdy, but I kind of love how the voice comes through the controller when the girl is announcing the start of the rounds and whatnot. It's like my crotch is speaking to me. :hmm:

KT

Edit: sweet! FIFA just shipped! :awe:

I'd like to try it, you can add me. It's a very fun but tough game.
 
I thought the audio logs in Killzone coming through the controller were a nice touch. Trying to picture a System Shock 2 style game making good use of it.
 
I think my psn name is in the other thread, selayan.

I've rescued about 6. I got to the first boss but died. I like playing it while I wait for patches and stuff to download because it takes forever for me. Tested out a demo for ps3 and it was finished in 10min as opposed to the 40+ minutes for ps4.
 
Oh yeah I have another question. I know they used to have a section where I could just peruse demos and download whatever was available, but now it looks like I need to look for specific games, click on them, then I will finally be able to see if they have a demo or not. Am I missing something?

It's really annoying. The old way I found all kinds of random games I never would have heard of otherwise.

I think later there will be a demos section. They dont have that many games out now anyway. Right now you just have to search, then click on a game and select download demo.
 
i haven't gotten all 10 humans either. i got 9 on the first level (on 2nd difficulty level) the last 2 times i played it, but i have no clue where the 8th human is getting killed from. i'm guessing that the 7th and 8th "ships" that come out are at the same time but i'm not going and looking for the 2nd one. i know on the 2nd stage there are like 3 sets of ships that come out back to back to back so you gotta be quick in getting them AND the humans.
 
I just use the boost to get around quickly. If you hit an enemy, it extends your boost kind if like in Super Stardust Delta's Dash mode. It also has a short explosion, which is great for taking out circular packs of enemies.. especially those ones that shoot at you. Those guys seem to take a bit to kill!

I think my best record for humans is 8 on Veteran. There's one human on stage 2 (I think) that I destroy two or so of the keepers and the game just says "Human Lost!" It baffles me every time!

I've tried all three ships now, and I can't recommend the fast one. I love it's speed, but it's attack has a homing component and the normal attack is really weak. That's not a huge deal for the normal stages, but bosses take forever! The other two ships are much better at bosses. The slow one is a little too slow though. If you leave some enemies alive for too long, they get really fast, and the slow one can't outrun them!

Oh, and I really don't like the boost indicator in this game. I've died a few times because I thought I had boost left, but I didn't. :\ In Super Stardust, there's an indicator at the side, which isn't nearly so transparent!

Makes sense. I love trying out random demos; it was one of my favourite things to do on my PS3 whenever I was bored.

I need to get better at using the boost. I only started trying it out last night.

wow that is some crazy numbers right there! sony needs to just pump them out weekly though. if amazon really doesn't have them until the 15th that is whack. it isn't like they won't have tons being made in the 2 months prior to that.
 
Holy carp! Amazon here says PS4s will be available January 15th.

For some reason I thought there was a lot of stock. Guess I was mistaken.

KT

For a console launch there WAS a lot of stock, but it's still not enough for demand.

Anyway, I finally got to play on one today. They had a demo of Knack going with a huge TV that you couldn't get away from so it looked terrible. However all I wanted to know was how the controller felt and I really like it. They took care of pretty much every issue I had with the ps3 controller.
