Just finished Shadows of Mordor. Need a new ps4 game! Sleeping dogs or AC4 Black flag?

Click to expand...

both are really good games, i'd say which movie do you like more: Pirates of the Caribbean (AC4) or Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon (Sleeping Dogs)

Alright, well I began a 14 day trial of PS+ yesterday. I'm assuming when that lapses, if I re-sub (within October?) I'll have access to them again? But if I wait til November, I won't?

As long as you have them flagged for download, you will always have access to them no matter when you resub.

Go into the store on your computer and "purchase" the free games. You will then be able to download whenever, as long as you are a PS+ member.

AC4 is probably better, especially value-wise right now, but I'd definitely recommend Sleeping Dogs when it comes down in price. (It might even be worth full for a first player - it'll be my second time through, so I'm not paying full price though)

In the meantime you can play Pix the Cat.

fuck.

Samurai Warriors 4 is out on Tuesday!!!!!! Ps4,3, and vita

Seems OK so far. The combat in AC4 feels like crawling compared to Shadows of Mordor. Still like the theme though.

npd software and hardware sales for sept are out
Destiny, PS4 lead sales boost for US games biz in Sept - NPD | GamesIndustry.biz
September 2014 NPD: PS4 outsells Xbox One despite Microsoft giving away a free game with its new console | GamesBeat | Games | by Jeff Grubb

destiny gets the top spot, super smash bros did insanely good only being on sale 2 days in sept, shadows of mordor seems to be the sneak surprise (and deservedly so).

No actual hardware numbers yet but PS4 outsold xbox one apparently, and PS+ subs went up 90% (and the system is down today...)



edit: psn just came back up

Destiny on Xbox One outselling the PS4 version is a bit of a surprise when you consider all the advertisement was tied to Sony.

XBros love shooters though.

I think Xbone actually outsold PS4 world wide last month. Not 100% on that, but Sony made a comment that the PS4 sold more units in the US on twitter, ignoring world stats.

Then there was also a BGR report from a few days ago (I keep frantically checking the site for more info on the Note 4).
Xbox One vs. PS4 sales: Xbox One estimated to beat PS4 in September | BGR


In other news, here's info about the PS4 2.0 update:

The only way this could have happened is if the chinese launch of Xbox One (a territory not covered by the PS4) had been a giganormous success. Since they did not even sold 100k units there, it is totally impossible. Sony not mentioning world wide numbers is just because at some point you have to be a gracious winner (outside the US it's 25% XB1, 75% PS4).

PlayStation Plus subscribers will be especially pleased with this addition: as of the 2.00 update, you'll no longer have to download a free game of the month in order to add it to your Instant Game Collection. Instead, just hit a button to add it to your library and download it at any time for free
