I guess if it's in rest mode, you have ps+ then it will just do it automatically.

Nope. Although the next update you will. Automatic update downloads are one of 2.5's features.

Yeah. This annoyed me greatly yesterday evening as it had to download loads and all I wanted to do was netflix.

Got the new firmware update last night before I had a Far Cry 4 session so I checked my trophies afterwards and it has started capturing screenshots when each one pops. They're mostly amusingly useless because you're inevitably staring at a wall or something when trophies pop but I quite like the idea and I imagine there'll be some comedy images to come out of some of them.

That's reminded me of Burnout: Paradise, which would take a photo of your pals when you "took" them "down" and show it to you. That was genius.

I really wanted one to show i'd managed to do the 'game over' achievement in AW and so i ended up pausing the game and being hit by a Zombie at the same time i grabbed the shot - if this was in place then I could have just ran into the area and waited for the pop :-)

Your scare quotes there make it sound like Burnout Paradise is some kind of gay sex simulator.

New Metroidvania Axiom Verge looks pretty good. Well, actually, it doesn't look that good at all as it's slavish homage to 8-bit graphics is pretty fucking dull but it sounds like it plays very well indeed.

Looks more 16-bit to me. And remember it's much cheaper to design these sorts of graphics than something more complex. Crude graphics are often a necessity for indies rather than an aesthetic.

Personally, I think it looks fine.

It screams 'NES' to me with the restricted colour palette. I don't mind retro style pixel-y graphics but there's something particularly ugly about the look of this to my eyes.

It looks interesting and as for 8-bit / 16-bit

8 bit NES Metroid :

16-bit SNES Metroid :

So I'd agree with Myp that its closer to 16bit

And if its due soon i wonder if it might be the PS+ game for April ?

Colour palette looks a bit more limited than 16 bit. Or at least tyipcal for early 16 bit.
Resolution, not so much.

I wasn't convinced by your screenshot choice there as that image of Super Metroid looks a lot nicer than what I've seen of Axiom Verge but doing a general Google Image search for "Super Metroid" throws up a lot more stuff that's closer to it so, yeah, fair enough. I still think the colour pallet is needlessly dull though even by SNES standards.

I was having a skeet the other night but couldn't see it. Does anyone know how to find out when your ps+ membership runs out / renews.

I would like to renew it before it does it automatically if I can as I'd like to take advantage of the PayPal offer.

Its in a weird place but it is in there - give me a minute ...

Edit - right not the correct place but if you go here

https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwor ... lter=games

And find something you've 'bought' on PS+ then it has an expiry date and thats the day your PS+ expires

Having Spotify on there is brilliant. Just need to find appropriate musics for Bloodborne, GY!BE works ok in the meantime, though.

Thanks, I tried this on my phone and couldn't see it. Will try again later on the computer but it's proper silly that it's not at all obvious.

It will also actually have your PS+ sub in there as a line item with the expiry date against it as I've just noticed.

Not if you used a card rather than did it on the dashboard. This was my problem.

Hmm, going through my transaction history, the last ps+ purchase I made was 22/6/13 for £40.

I'm confused why I've not had to make any since.

ok, I've now found it within the "Services List" within "Account Information" within "Settings" on the console.

It says that I renewed on 26/06/2014, maybe I did, I cant remember, but its not showing on my transaction history (I probably used a code and its not shown as a transaction).

I think I will now renew using Paypal.

Monologue over.

Question:

Can I video chat with Mummy Afterthought if I stick a camera in the usb? She has Skype, Facebook, face time and Google hangouts.

Thanking you.

Unlikely because the web browser probably won't have access to the camera.

Yeah, it seems unlikely the browser would get access to the camera, though I suppose it can't hurt to try. Note that as Skype is owned by MS there's zero chance that'll ever appear as a proper app and I can't imagine Apple would ever expose their services on anyone else's hardware either. Google would probably prefer you buy a device running Android so that also seems unlikely; though not impossible.

Not convinced that's the case. My iPhone has skype and hangouts, can't see why a PS4 couldn't.

Fair point on Hangouts (though I did say that was less unlikely) but there's no way MS are going to put Skype on the PS4 when it's in direct competition with the Xbone and with Skype being a major selling point for Kinect. iPhone vs Windowsphone isn't the same level of competition to my mind.

The important part of that article was this:

Bit OTT. That ending though? Typical MGS trash.

Ground Zeros is quite good for what it is but needs more indoor bits otherwise the buildings are just flat boxes to break up the lines of sight. I quite enjoy the MGS series for what it is - a convoluted series stuck up its own arsehole and repeatedly being shoved further and further up there. I thought that Zeros was a nice attempt at trying to peel back some of the bullshit but, y'know, Kojima...

What they said. I still enjoyed the couple of hours it took to get through it, though.

Journey coming to the PS4 on July 21st and, as with Flower, will be free if you bought it for the PS3. Give how gorgeous it looked before I'm interested to see if they've made any improvements to the visuals at all.

Remember Xbox's Summer of Something? We'll Playstation has something similar lines up with 4 games forthcoming:



Journey: yay!
N++: yay!
Galax-Z: Yay?
Everybody's gone to Rapture: Yay?

The latter is getting some noise but I'm avoiding reading about it just in case it turns out that that's the best way to play it.

N++ will be the tatties though.

I played a bit of an early build of Galak-Z and it seemed alright but I didn't like the controls at all and then got bored.

Maximum hype for N++.

Loved Journey. Want another game though, it just a HD remake.

Rapture thing looks promising.

Can't work out wtf is going on in Galax-Z, looks nice though.

Can't work out wtf is going on in N++, looks shite though.
