Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I think the Christmas people are hitting the PSN and it can't handle it.

I hope Sony uses the money they get from PlayStation Plus to strengthen the network, seriously, this is ridiculous. Things were not this bad back on the PS3. I haven't been able to play a game of FIFA online since the 24th. So irritating.

The Ps3 was much worse than this. Also, 2 days isnt exactly that bad when you factor in hundreds of thousands to millions all jumping online on Christmas.

I don't know. We're paying customers now. Amateur hour online needs to stop. I know things happen but outages every day during Christmas is sad. It's not like you're a website where the load could be all over the place. You know how many devices you're manufacturing and you know how many have been activated. Prepare for the difference. You get a pass on launch day because that's tough but come on. Not twice during Christmas.

They've built up some great momentum, but it's a shame that they're going to limp through the holidays like this.

You'd hope they'd anticipate this and act on it, though. Plus, nowadays we are all paying for the service (or at least they got some bonuses the past couple of years with PS+) and there isn't this toss-up between people with Ethernet and 56k if... if that has to do with anything.

I agree

While I am not upset about this outage, I do still agree this should be factored for knowing the hit you are taking.

Pissed at PSN because I can't beat any of LingeringRegime's high scores in Zen Pinball.

Nevermind, that's my own fat, uncoordinated fingers' fault.

Is Zen up to par with Pinball Arcade? The video of the game looks kinda over the top with the ball trail and cut scenes.

TBH, I liked Pinball Arcade (on PS3 and my android phone).

Put it this way, I like Zen even better. So crisp, clean and visually stunning. Definitely worth it to download the game and buy all the table packs. You can try all the tables out first for free.

Highly recommended, and as I said, I was a huge fan of Pinball Arcade.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

At a crossroads: not sure if I should get Need for Speed Rivals or Injustice. Or potentially both.

Anyone know how the car customization is on Rivals?

Very little in my opinion BUT the fun factor of the game is fantastic (talking about NFSR)

I was just thinking about getting Injustice as well.. I have been watching a few streams on Twitch and it looks pretty cool... But I get bored pretty quick with fighting games.

I played the hell out of Mortal Kombat 9 this past year, and I've heard Injustice has a very similar feel to it, since it's also developed by NetherRealm.

Yeah, I heard it's awesome, but it doesn't have the greatest depth to it.

More in the looks than performance upgrades.

Colors, stripes, liveries, all the stuff you'd expect unless you were buying Gran Turismo.

It's not great, and there's not a billion and four cars like other games. Just a cursory glance at the list I'd say between racers and cops there's 100(?). Maybe more maybe less.

But it's not a simulation racer. And the sense of speed is unmatched. And as I mentioned before, it's ****ing beautiful (I think it runs off Battlefield 4's engine).

I can't really speak to my opinion on the game yet, I've only had it as I said for half an hour. But I'm not mad I bought it yet. So that's something.

Yeah, I'm definitely not expecting a Gran Turismo/Forza experience with Rivals, but it looks really good. I think I'm going to have to pick it up for sure tomorrow.

I'll probably get both anyway.
