Yeah, Tomb Raider is free on PS+ for PS3 this month. From what i've read, it's a great game and worth playing for sure. But given that it's free on ps3, it's probably not worth spending $60 to get it on ps4... unless you have deep pockets, in which case just buy everything for ps4 🙂

Just my $0.02.
 
Picked up Tombraider on PS4 for $39.99 at Amazon a while back.

Picked up Rayman for 39.99 with a $10 gift card. Getting Infamous for 39.99 too with the gift cards that came with Thief and Rayman.

If I can convince myself to get Angry Birds Starwars, Just Dance, etc if I ever see it for 19.99 or less I might pick them up just to have a complete PS4 physical library.

Just added Lego Marvel for $29.99 and will pick up Lego Movie first time I see it $39.99. Need to actually play those, everywhere I look I see the Lego games 4.5-5/5 stars.

the lego games, for what they are, are great as long as you curb any expectations of deep story and challenge.

I want another good burnout game

I'd love to see something like that or another Project Gotham Racing. Although, I realize that I'm technically in the wrong thread for that last one, and unfortunately, Microsoft owns that trademark, and they said they don't want to make one since it would technically compete with Forza. It's somewhat understandable, but PGR and Forza are two totally different styles of racing games. It's like saying Ridge Racer is a direct competitor to Gran Turismo!

Although, with Bizarre Creations gone ( :'( ), I'm not sure what good they'd do with it anyway!

Go and reserve infamous second son. Comes out next Friday. Nba2k14 is great too. If you are a fan of battlefield 4 you can get that, it's had less issues than on pc. Assassins creed black flag is good too.

I actually cancelled my Infamous pre-order the other day. Part of me wants it because I have a good feeling that it'll be a good, next-gen game. However, I haven't played 1 or 2, which I have both for free digitally from various promotions. So, by the time I get around to playing those, Infamous: Second Son will probably be cheaper. 😛

FWIW you don't need to play the others for this one.

Yea its a new story, New character with in game references to the old games but not necessarily anything that you need to know.

The live stream on ign they mentioned that they wnsted new players to be comfortable with the game and not feel like they missed anything.

I've only played the first infamous too.

They could do very well with a lego game that played more like an RPG with skill trees and all that. Throw in an engaging story that was also fun and you may have a good game. Just look at how well they used South Park for Stick of Truth and it's rave reviews, I'm sure they could do something similar with a lego game if they wanted.

They do make adult legos.

AR 15s, superchargers and turbochargers, etc.

I played some of the Lego game demos, seems like just classic video game fun like a Megaman game or something.

Well, I suppose it's no different than any other hobby. I've seen grown men make some pretty intricate machines out of Mechano.

Pretty much everything. PS2 and older mostly , and even then mostly the good stuff. First party and anything remotely RPG or limited volume.

Thought it might be fun to try and stay on top of Wii U and PS4 complete library from day one since games are rather scarce for the moment. Also catching up on PS3 and 360 exclusives as I see them. Hard to do because I hate platinum and greatest hits packaging even when its $19.99 new so used is only option.

I pretty much have every RPG complete from Dragon Warrior on NES to Lightning Returns and Bravely Default CEs, save for a few between PS1-PS2 I missed when I was on my PC only kick. I figure every RPG and first party AAA game (Mario, Zelda, etc) on every system is a realistic goal on the way to a complete CIB SNES library.

Ya I too have the same goal so have pretty much every system I could get my hands on since Atari. I'm a huge RPG fan as well and believe the NES/SNES/PS1 days held some of the best RPG's we've seen to date so made sure to go back and collect all of them. I have all the other ones on other systems as well but those held some of my favorites. I can always tell a true RPG fan when they see my CIB(CICase for PS1) collection. The ones who are true big fans turn into a kid on xmas morning.

My coworker came over and saw a few of my top favorites like Lufia II on SNES had multiple copies. The conversation went like this:

"Why do you have multiple copies?"
"Because I can."
"Wanna sell one?"
"...no."
 
while i'm not a baseball fan at all i'll be very interested to see how that game looks graphically. the ps3 ones looked outstanding.

Yea I wasn't interested in nba 2k14 either but once I got it I liked it a lot. Not sure if I feel the same about baseball.
 
I am at work so I can't test this out and wanted to see if you guys think this would work. I have a pair of turtle beach x42's that has a chat cable with in line mute and volume control. I do most my online gaming on the XB1, so I don't really want to spend money on a headset for the ps4 for the few occasions I would use it. I got the stereo adapter for the XB1, that comes with an adapter that will let you plug a 3.5mm cable into it and it plugs into a 2.5mm connection. Do you think I could run the audio cable into it, and then run the adapter to the DS4 and still use the mute function in the inline cable? I hate that there is no other way to mute my headset if I use it with the ps4.

Word on Operation Sports is that the PS4 screenshots that may show up next week are going to blow people away... We'll see if that comes to fruition, but the small samples I've seen from San Diego studios comparing the Green Monster between the 2 versions would suggest the jump in quality and detail is going to be outstanding.

The PS4 also allows them to do little things like have a baserunner's helmet come off as they're running the bases.

I heard they were throwing around ideas like using the controller speaker when you're at the plate to hear the chatter from the catcher and umpire, or hear the manager/catcher talk to you when you're on the mound.
My hype level is quite high for The Show(I've never played it before, PS4 is my first Sony).

The ps4 uses 3.5mm. So just use the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter that comes with the xb1 adapter and run optical from your ps4 to the transmitter. Yes the mute will work but only for voice audio assuming the mute is on your chat cable.
