Playstation 4

So I've just picked up my console 3 months earlier then what I expected   

Welcome to greatness.

Does anyone know if i can do cross platform multiplayer on CoD Ghosts?

ie play it on the PS4 downstairs and the PS3 upstairs...so my son and I can each have a big screen instead of the farty letterbox splitscreen that we have to use now.

I'm pretty sure there's not cross platform play unfortunately. I'd appreciate that too, it'd make multiplayer with the gf much easier as we don't have a second PS4 control.

Welcome to games you could've easily played on your ps3.

fixed that for ye.

I still have my PS3 mainly because of GTA.. I just can not give that up   

It would be nice to get a GNamer forum members shenanigans night on gta someday.

I'm hoping for the rumored PS4 version of it.

Me too or my housemate is not getting the PS3 anytime soon..

*goes online now*

I don't see that happening especially with the big plans they have for online & even then some early issues still aren't fixed & usually when they add something new it breaks even more.

I can't see there not being a PC version at somepoint and with ps4 now just q pc really, got to be fairly simple to port across.

I'd be happy with just the Online being put on PS4, I've done the story (only got to 81% in all stat wise)

Anyone played Contrast at all? Finished it yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. Controls were a little loose but nothing game breaking...just the odd moment of frustration.

Overall, the artistic styling and early 20th century film noir vibe really floated my boat and the shadow/life puzzles were fabulous, imo. I could have done another 100 of those and not got bored. Hope there's more like that to come.

Played Resogun as well, but i'm not good enough at shooters to get the best out of that game. I've completed all the rookie levels but i doubt i'll get much further with it. Nice eye-candy, though.

Just having a quick go on the free table on Zen Pinball. Seems pretty good so far.

I got stuck on Contrast with the elevators.

That's where you have to get to the top of the 5 floors, right? Which level are you stuck on?

I can't remember I think I got to about the 3rd level.

I really enjoyed Contrast myself but a lot of people I've heard from have found the game too buggy to work.

I really love Resogun though, it's just so brilliant and easy to just sit down to play.

Just because it may be simple doesn't mean it will happen, this is Rockstar remember? I'm sure they'd much rather put their resources into something new for ps4/XO.

My brother has a ps4 now & the controller is pretty nice, it was also good to see that the psn store runs a lot smoother.

I tried out the remote play feature with NBA 2k14 and while everything ran reallly smooth I can see one big problem, its really going to be hit & miss for how well the controls work especially games that use L2/R2.

I can confidently say that vita wont make a suitable second controller at all because you are essentially playing with a handicap.

Used VITA as a second controller xmas day fine, but anyway I played Octodad today what a strange game but some reason really want to play more of it.

Which game did you play? Like I said it will be hit & miss which IMO doesn't make it a suitable second controller.

For example: in NBA 2k14 R2 is sprint (important for defending) & I found it extremely awkward to do this on vita as the rear touch pad was the substitute & I had to concentrate more to do it effectively where on the DS4 its just second nature.

I'm surprised they didn't make the normal Vita L and R the L2 and R2 in that case. That's what they did with KZ and it worked a treat.

NBA uses the regular L & R's as well though for positional play & passing to specific team mates.

So like I said any game that uses all the shoulder buttons is going to be hit & miss on remote play, sure devs could allow for customisation but that means having to learn to play a certain way & not as originally intended.

Are ps4 games required to have remote play? If not its a feature I can see not being used much.

I'm pretty sure they said every game would be remotely playable (after it basically never happening on PSP) I don't think it requires any special effort by the devs though.

Ahh I see but as the vita doesn't have the same number of buttons as the DS4 they will have to think about how a game controls on it.
