Merc Kings out for PS Plus members in UK yet?

Store updates on wednesdays for UK/EU. So, wait a tad more till tomorrow.

Edit: top of the page: get Fez (on discount until the store updates, so run). It's cross-buy across all three platforms, but buy the Vita version for statistics.

Er, I guess I missed the part where they made a PS3 visual novel out of a by all accounts mediocre 3DS shooter.

I was holding off on the PS3 version specifically because I expected something like this to happen lol. Vita has so many ports/simultaneous releases of visual novels I'm pretty sure they outnumber every other genre on the system.
Wait it's a visual novel, not a shooter? Not interested...

The EU update is nearly always on wednesday.

The primary target for those hunting games are Japanese elementary and middle school kids. They don't even have credit cards and have no earning so they're extremely hesitant to pay for what they can't resell. In that sense companies could release physical expansion pack, like Bamco did with God Eater Burst.
With that said, consumer's mind is gradually changing so some day DLC expansion may become popular for once in Japan.

Nothing stopping the publishers from doing an expanded retail release and DLC for previous buyers so that everyone is happy. Ok, everyone except the publisher because they can't gouge consumers into double dipping anymore.

Made an agreement with another GAF member, refused to honor it because he was broke, but then had no problem continuing to buy video games.
Guys i have 1000 points in sony rewards and I want to get a $10 card, do they ship it physically to me or is there any way for they to send me a code? cause I don't live in the us
 
Really surprised that we haven't heard anything about Octodad or Outlast's DLC yet.

YH is saying that Octodad will be PS4 playable at PAX East next week. Hopefully we'll get a more firm release date then?

Outlast's Whistleblower DLC was slated for the end of this month as well, I thought? Anybody hear anything different?


Barring the two above, I'm definitely in for Merc. Kings, Daylight, and Child of Light.

argh ! the sony rewards website says that they can't complete the transaction

:(
 
Can someone with Rayman Legends who isn't me check and see if the online challenges are still possessed by Satan?

I tried to load one late last night and had my volume up load and it sounded like demon's talking backwards and shit. But it just sat there forever with the little yellow spinning icon on the black screen... the demon's weren't able to be summoned, I guess?

I'm just wondering if it's still affecting me or if it's everyone -- and if it's everyone is it Vita only or does it propagate out through other systems? Anyone got Legends on Wii U or PS3 or something? Maybe you can check to see if it's just Ubi's servers in general?
 
Ok, GAF. CoJ: Gunslinger is on sale again for $4. I'm finally picking this up. The praise for this game has been ridiculously consistent for me not to try it.

I bought a ps4 on amazon. It arrived today, but we here in Norway has a different electric system than uk. Do I need a converter of some kind. Sorry about off topic but I guess there is a lot of ps4 owners in this thred.
 
Man, these non-late updates frighten me.

The weather is pretty awful here in the Bay Area today. It's not like she can go outside and putz around :)

In all seriousness, I'm appreciative of the updates coming earlier in the day recently. The lag between the store updating with content and the PS+ discounts being appropriately applied is still a source of annoyance, but it's hopefully something that gets better over time.

Uh, Trials Fusion Deluxe Edition (the one with the season pass) is up? That's a mistake, right?

EDIT: Nevermind, pre order. It was on the front page next to MercKings, confused me.

Do you know what the voltage output of your wall's electrical socket is?

Edit: Ok, so after looking up some info, Norway and the UK both use 220v and the PS4's electrical input rating is powered via an internal "universal" 110–240 V AC power supply (according to Wikipedia). You do not need any kind of step-down converter. As long as you can figure out how to plug it into the wall socket, it will be ok.

So is Urban Trial Freestyle worth picking up on the Vita? I know it's a shameless rip off, but it actually looks decent.

However, just watching the Giant Bomb quick look, and Brad says to avoid it on Vita as the lack of analogue buttons mean you don't have full control over the bike.

Any truth in this?

No, the game controls fine on the Vita. I really enjoyed it.

It plays fine. But it looks like ass. The OG DS has games that look better than it. And even if you wanna disagree with me on that, you can't deny it has godawful IQ.

I myself was pleasantly surprised by Urban Trials Freestyle, I enjoyed it a lot despite framerate dips from time to time. It's also a nice looking game

You've got to be kidding

Downloading the demo...I can't believe it could look as bad as you're making out!

Fake edit: It's not a stunner, but worse than the DS?! No way.

Game is fun, a good Trials clone, but frame rate is pretty jumpy (even in the basic levels, which doesn't bode well).

Will pick it up in a sale.
