The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

Yes, Steam has showed me the convenient  ways of digital.

Pre Downloading is godly.

what is pre downloading?

 

[sole vintage]

what is pre downloading?

Download the full game before release, except a few MB that unlocks the complete game during the release date.

 

[solidus snake]

Yep when it hits whatever time it's supposed to unlock, you're playing a sec after.

Feels good.

 

[nickle dime bay]

why would you be able to change your name after you make it?

If you want a new name get a new email and create one

Thats lame

Ditching the Xbox for the PS4 tho All i need is BF4

 

[dabottom305]

How many GBs are downloaded games usually?

Most of the games I own are 7-8gbs.
Except, max payne 3, which is 15gbs.

I was wondering how long 500GB would last. I mostly buy Madden and I'd delete them every year once the new version drops. Only games I'd probably keep are the Need For Speed and Fighting type games.

 

[hypebeast5]

500 gigs will last unless you buy everything digital, well at least for me

Alot of my friends will just run through that tho cause all they do is download ps+ games

 

[jking0821]

I have a usb exteral 500gig Hardrive ready to use only because i plan on downloading a lot of the smaller indie games. Octodad looks like so much fun and hilarious.

But i won't be picking up a ps4 anytime soon. The only games it is getting anywhere near launch that are exclusives are Knack, Killzone and Infamous (not even a launch title though). All the other games that i want will be on ps3, so i can wait probably close to a year to think i need a ps4. Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts (will prob be out in 2015 or later anyway) that would make me buy a ps4.

Hypebeast - I've been thinking about digital vs physical. I feel like digitals should be way cheaper. If they're the same price im probably sticking to physical and trading in when im done.

Jking - is it possible to download the games straight to the external drive?

I honestly am not too sure but have been told yes early in either this thread or the E3 thread. If not I hope I can copy to and from the hard drive from the ps4. I'm sure I can't play the saves game right off the external hard drive. But if I can copy to, then delete off the system hard drive and copy back to play it. I'd be cool with that.

Should, but usually aren't right away. The incentive for developers to sell digital is they make more money per sale, it might not be so if it was cheaper.

Either way, usually you get full price at release, and as time goes on the digital price is the one to see faster price cuts. On Steam they have daily flash sales where specific games are off 75% for a few hours or w/e. Playstation does it by giving PS+ members 25-75% off on their prices for certaint titles.

Gotta go pre-order Killzone. Still dont know what other game(s) I'll get at launch. Drive Club most likely.

FYI DriveClub will be free with Playstation+

^I don't think that that is necessarily true.
Tretton said that ps+ subscribers get a drive club ps+ edition. Which I assume is some stripped down version of the actual game.

Maybe it's a "free" to play game rather than a free game.

Your right.

Just had to look it up. Its the full game with all the features, but with some limited content, which they haven't given too much details, assuming less cars/tracks or less customization options. You'll still have all the game modes and online play though. I'm not too big into racing games so I'll probably won't even try out the free version.

 

[scrub0bk]

if fifa is indeed launch, i will be grabbing that. but for sure watchdogs will be had, i'll wait on that for PS4 instead of copping for 360

 

[8tothe24]

Sorry if already posted. Just thought some might find this useful (I did at least, was hearing all kinds of diff things). I did some editting because my phone won't copy the OG layout.

Battlefield gives you dedicated servers.
People say Battlefield is more realistic.
Battlefield is more about team work and tactics.

PS4 Launch Date November 21st?

Sony’ s PS4 will launch in Nov 21 2013, A new PS4 ad spotted on The Sun’ s printed magazine, According to the ad, PS4 will release in Nov 21 this year for £349.If you remember, PS3 console was released in Nov 11 2006.The official PS4 release date is currently penciled in for ‘Holiday 2013′, which most-likely means in time for Thanksgiving in the US, so a mid-November PS4 launch date, So it seems Nov 21 is legit.Note: The Sun is a very popular magazine in the UK.
