Don't worry folks: The branching dialog options of Uncharted 4 won't affect the overall plot at all.

It doesn't in Telltale games either (as I can attest during my second playthrough of episode 3 of GoT), so I don't worry about that stuff anymore.

They really need to do something about their network. Most of these outages haven't affected me but it is ridiculous how often PSN is down.

Honestly Xbox Live, while better, also has a number of issues. For some reason for me it takes an INSUFFERABLE amount of time to log into Live, whether it's from my 360 or my One, regardless of whether or not I'm wired or wireless. I have an Open NAT and everything and once I connect everything is fine, but it really takes like 60 seconds for either console to get to a usable state. I think I may call Xbox Support tonight (assuming the wait isn't too bad) and get this straightened out finally.

Starting February 9, you can vote on a free game for March.

At first glance, the list looks rather blah, but if the PC reviews are anything to go by, this is actually a decent line-up.

Action Henk
Assault Android Cactus
Broforce

I didn't know anything about any of those games but after looking at the videos on Steam I think I'll vote for Assault Android Cactus. I like twin stick shooters and this has a cool look to it. None of the choices look terrible but I'm not sure I will realistically play any of them.

That could be said about nearly every PS+ game that came out last year with the exception of Binding of Isaac and Rocket League. ;-p

That's true. Those are the only 2 PS Plus games I really played in the last year. I did play the sh*t out of both of those games though. I would say I easily put 50+ hours into both of them.

If PS Plus wasn't required for online multiplayer on PS4 I would just let my subscription lapse. It would be cheaper for me to buy the few games I actually want even if I paid full price for them, which I rarely do. It's really a bummer how far the quality of the offerings have dropped from what they were a couple years ago on PS3.

Last year I barely broke even on the free Plus games I played for any length of time and the extra Plus discounts on games I bought. But it's that free Plus game backlog that for the moment "keeps me hanging on" to quote last year's PS4 ad campaign. I'm also holding out for a discount on Bioshock Infinite DLC (BI was a free Plus game for me).

Uncharted 4 is getting its own console, controller, AND headset

The color scheme is cool but I'm not a fan of the art they put on top. It makes sense than they would do something special for the last Uncharted game though.

 

[Zookster]

I really like the controller. In my set up (sitting on a dark middle AV stand shelf), the console's physical appearance wouldn't really show.

EDIT: but no way I'm paying $65 for a fancy looking controller.

I don't think this is the last Uncharted game. I get the feeling it's the last Nathan Drake game, but hell, even Halo went on without Master Chief and Mass Effect is going on without Commander Shepard. I wouldn't be surprised if we get an Uncharted 5 in 2019 after the next TLoU game.

Totally agree with this. The name is too big for them to walk away from it.

Downwell is apparently coming to PS4 and Vita according to Playstation Japan.

 

[king3pj]

It's a good fit, especially for Vita.

Sony teases Crash Bandicoot yet again.

I know that at last check Activision owned the IP, but at this point I HAVE to imagine that Sony has something in the works.

Apparently Firewatch is having numerous frame rate issues on the PS4, and the dev is pissed about it.
