Playstation 4 Talkback II: The Answer to Everything is Knack

[6souls]

Budget option to a pro controller, slightly increases weight, awkward to use in competitive play, but expands casual play.

Curious if that works over USB as well, eg for PC. Wouldn't mind one to remap a couple face buttons to.

Patapon 2 Remastered - January 30th

Patient members of the Patapon tribe, your rhythmic calls and chants have been answered!

I’m proud to announce that Patapon 2 Remastered officially launches for PlayStation 4 on January 30 at PlayStation Store! Please focus your oversized eye on our new trailer above.

For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Patapon is an innovative, rhythm-based 2D platform / action game. Patapon 2 is the second entry in the Patapon story following the original game, which was remastered in 2018. Patapon 2 Remastered is a full 4K remaster of the 2008 PSP game.

Cut off from their Zigoton compatriots after a Kraken attacks their ship, the Patapon tribe find themselves ship-wrecked on a strange new land. As their deity, it’s your job to lead the Patapon army using a variety of rhythmic drum commands as they encounter brand new enemies, allies and a host of new bosses as they continue their search for their promised land, Earthend. Combine the various chains of drumbeats to address each unique level, leading the Patapons to victory over the enemy forces.

Take part in more than 30 missions including hunting, escort, and boss battles, and explore numerous vivid environments along the way. Patapon 2 Remastered delivers a strong element of strategy by requiring players to properly customize and build up the Patapon army, arm each soldier with weapons and armor, and position them correctly for battle. For everyone who loved Patapon 1 Remastered, it gets even better with new Patapon evolutions, a host of new minigames and many more surprises in store, so be ready to lead the charge when Patapon 2 Remastered launches exclusively at PlayStation Store for $14.99 USD on January 30.

That’s pretty good if you’ve not played Bioshock before.

[Daydreamer]

I've never really played Bioshock before as I generally do not like FPS games in general, but this is a good excuse for me to place the difficulty on easy and cruise through Infinite as I've heard great things about the story and somehow have had nothing spoiled for me unlike the first games.

Before anyone tells me to go try Bioshock one, I have, FPS games just don't jive welll with me generally.

I'm a bit picky on FPS too. Bioshock one was my intro to the series and it took awhile to get into but I kept at it based on recommendations from people I knew. It was worth it. Infinite I was hooked immediately and it carries a special place as it was one of the very first PC games I ever played. I'm not trying to be a snob when I say this but I don't think I could do FPS on a console anymore.

Random question: where do I find the theme and avatars from the Year in Review? I can see them in my transaction history, but can't find where to download them for the life of me.

[Yimoa]

Theme will be under your themes menu, that’s where I found mine.
Avatars are under editing your profile.

Edit: Risk of Rain 2 Dynamic Theme is amazing.
It’s just menu noises and rain.

Makes sense. For me I just generally don’t like the way it moves. Like I know it’s supposed to “put you in the action” but for me it always just feels weird. Like I probably am not getting cyberpunk because of it even though everything about the game seems amazing.

Infinite I’m going to try to make an exception for as I hear the story is stellar and I can hopefully just put it on easy and blast though it.

So I think my PS4 failed to update yesterday and I've never had a problem with it before so I don't know if there's a trick to fixing it other than hard reset.

When it boots up, it asks for an update file through USB. I did that following the directions on Sony's website. It took the update and installed it but when it cycled the power to reboot after the update, it says "checking system storage" and then says it failed to boot up and goes back to asking for an update file. I also tried installing from the internet through safe mode - that also worked, but the same exact thing happened. Update installs, reboots, can't boot up.

I would have already hard reset but I don't want to lose my FFXV save file because it has time-limited events recorded in it like the Mog Carnival and stuff =/ Any options?

So I forgot to update this but for those who might have been curious, I ended up having to hard reset, lost my saves but PS4 worked fine after that. It wasn't the hard drive after all, even though it looked very much like it could've been. I guess something just went really fucky during an update.

If this looks familiar, it is. They tried this once before during the PS3 era, but it never got out of the beta stage.

Sony has canceled their appearance at PAX East because of coronavirus fears.

Today, Sony Interactive Entertainment made the decision to cancel its participation at PAX East in Boston this year due to increasing concerns related to COVID-19 (also known as “novel coronavirus”). We felt this was the safest option as the situation is changing daily. We are disappointed to cancel our participation in this event, but the health and safety of our global workforce is our highest concern.

[Draylo]

What does Boston have to do with the virus? They are probably more at risk in Japan.
