Man I can't wait for N++! Its in the PS store listings and I got excited only to find out its just the trailer I wont even wait for it to be free on PS+ when it comes out. I got $10 in credit for buying the launch edition PS4 so that would take care of most of it. And the game is being made by a team of 3 people, so I don't mind contributing to their cause for a game that I love but tortures me with its insanity.

I love the SCAR-H so much right now, It will be a while before i try out the M416 which was my hands down favorite in BF3... I'm getting back in form..
 

 

 

 
I took down a group of 3 with one mag in the SCAR-H... this is insane... Squad Wipe ribbons FTW!

Thats too funny. I didn't even know you could romance Carth. If I get around to playing this a second time, I'll play as a dark side woman so I can lead Carth on and then crush his heart if I can.

PS+ doesn't release an X amount of games on a monthly basis. It releases an X amount on a weekly basis. So a minimum of 4-5 games a month depending on the amount of Tuesdays. Or at least that's how its done with PS3. I don't know if its a different day on PS4. But I normally check the PS+ Blog.

ROTFLMAO... and the thing is, if you're wearing turtles you cant hear a damn thing outside of the headphone.... so wtf are you doing playing damn music?! I missed a text from a friend wanting to know if I wanted to grab something to eat once because I was marathoning BO2 one day... I felt like a dick because I didn't see it until 2 hours after.

Yes! lmao! That was my entire experience with COD.
 
I don't know how BF3 was on xbox 360, but on PS3 everyone was used to not talking to each other. I'd usually see 1 or 2 people with mics on. Hell, I was so used to BF3 not keeping me on the same squad with my friends that I never bothered to even sync a bluetooth headset to the system. I'd just call my brothers on the phone in a three way call and play that way. It worked out better for us, especially if one of us lost connection or got banned. With the PS3 not having a party chat, we'd potentially loose communication far too often so we never even tried using the BF3 voice chat. It wouldn't surprise me if hardly anyone on PS4's BF4 even voice chats.. however it was a different case on COD Black ops 2. Everyone talked on that damn game. Randomly talking about everything except the game. No strategy, just annoying talking, eating sounds, yelling, or music. One time I thought I heard a urine stream and a toilet flush.. but no hand washing sounds.. ewww.. wtf.

Well there is no lobby like COD so i can be slurred between each match . PlayStation 3 didn't come with a mic, and I take it not a lot of people are use to talking because I haven't heard a peep from anyone yet on BF. Its definitely going to be a culture change within the community. Which is cool, when I'm playing with people I don't know I mute my mic anyways... and on COD normally someone else with turtles was playing solja boy in the background and their mic was picking it all up as they munched on chips, breathed heavily, and/or constantly cleared their throat ever 2 seconds.

For Assault the AK-12 was ok, but now that I have the SCAR-H its beats mode time... I have to put it back on ironsights, the RDS really sucks, I'll wait for the holo sight and try it out. The dot on the RDS gets lost in bright colors easily.... and there are plenty of vibrant colors in this game. FYI you can see you legs when you jump over objects like on PC in the PS4 version as I assumed before. This is actually helpful because when you are on a ledge looking down, you can see where your feet are at and know how much closer you can get before falling.
 
A few more notes

1. Parachuting has reverted back to BF2 style... you can jump off a building and deploy quickly and land with no damage... this frustrated me in BF3... yeah thats more realistic, but I liked this system better. I did an epic jump and land behind a squad defending a flag on domination and destroyed them all in epic fashion.
 
2. Swapping to pistol is a lot faster, and I'm glad. You start out with the Walther p228 and its a beast. It fires as fast as I can lay in to the PS4 trigger button. It takes about 4-5 shots to kill someone center mass, but you can fire it so fast, it doesnt take a lot of time.
 
3. Defibrillators... man has this changed.. In BFBC2 and in BF3 you could spam the shit out of these and revive someone quick... not anymore... you now have to wait for the 1-2 second animation of you rubbing the defibs together before hitting your team/squad mate... this has thrown me off so bad.. I'd try to run by a downed teammate and end up missing them completely because I was banking on hitting them with the defibs instantly when pressing the button... nope, you have to stand over them and wait for the animation to play out. Its more realistic and you take more of a gamble when reviving someone now.. I've been killed a lot trying to do so. 
 
4. On PS4 there must be a lot of COD players that don't know that every level has multiple floors. You can climb some ladders above these flags on dominations and rain down grenades and bullets on people trying to cap them. I've caught people just standing behind crates like they couldn't be seen and lit them up from a rafter. Very few times did someone come up and try to get me.
 
5. Using higher end Turtle Beach headsets with Dolby is incredible but overwhelming at the same time.... Hearing footsteps, and gunshots is wild... but running and hearing bullets zip by and hit the wall is astonishing. It can make you panic for sure because you don't hear these subtle noises from the TV speakers... heck you can ever listen you your solider rustle through the grass on some maps.

I saw the trailer for it on steam a while back and it looks like fun. Its good to see the PS+ membership is still giving out decent games.
 
The PS+ free games is a great deal. I read this article earlier in the year and could barely believe it:

I saw this game on Kotaku and it peaked my interest because it's puzzle platforming reminds me a little bit of limbo. The story is interesting so far and the gameplay is unique... the game it self has its bugs, but I can't complain since it was free via PS+. I love the 20s era theme.

Halo as a multilayer competitive FPS was never that great to me, but as a co-op PVE game it could be amazing. Halo's solo campaigns were awesome and epic, and the last games' Spartan Ops was pretty cool. I think Bungie found their true calling with Destiny. I remember playing Halo 3's campaign on co-op and having an absolute blast with friends. I hope they keep similar physics as far as gravity and movement goes.

Ok. after I figured out my L3 button actually did work this is what I know about PS4 BF4.
 
I have only played as engineer class because the gun was so shitty in the beta, I'm trying to get past it.
 
1. Guns kill MW2 fast.. wow.. this is so different for BF, I dont know what to think. You use to have to hold your sight on a target for a good 1.5-3 seconds on a target to drop them and expend a good amount of bullets. I complained when COD went to this method because it was suppose to be fast paced. Either its just SMGs or these franchises have flip flopped... there is still a chance DICE may nerf stuff, but I think it could be a sign of what to expect in Battlefront. I was getting dropped fast by assault rifles so I will say for now. Guns kill wicked fast. If you don't like it, get use to it.
 
2. The littlebird is fucking deadly.... I was playing with it in test range and its maneuverability is off the charts compared to BF3... Its minigun is way more powerful and accurate... again I think this equates to guns kill faster... that doesn't apply to other vehicles though. It took a good 2-4 cool downs to take out a pratice drone. I need to get this in a real match.
 
3. This game is beautiful. My TV only runs in 720p, and it looks great.
 
4. Weapons start out with optics
 
5. Premium members are treated to battlepacks, you open them one at a time and get a random slew of goodies. They seem to come out every month. I got some gun camos, 1 hour 50% more xp, a new knife, and some emblem options.
 
6. DICE seemed to forgoe BF3's soldier loadout on the title screen and reverted back to BFBC2 where you have to do it in game.. you can probably do it via battlelog as well, but I haven't checked. I don't like this, but I dont hate it I guess.
 
7. Even though I've done it for years on COD. having O/B instead of R1 for knife is throwing me off so bad... I guess I wasn't a big melee person in COD, but I was in BF. I've blasted a few snipers from behind just to level up my gun... i passed on dog tags.. lol
 
8. I acutally like the Sony's control layout better.. mostly because the D pad has always been superior.
 
9. PS4's triggers are a dream. 360 triggers are awesome, but PS4 really stole from it and found a way to make it "luxurious". The curvature of the buttons just feel right.

At Sony's PS4 Launch event Bungie revealed that the beta for Destiny will be available for PS3 and PS4 first. As MS scores first access to DLC for COD and BF4 first, its apparent that Bungie is making a statement and MS cannot dish out enough cash for them to shy away from their new 3rd party territory in the PS4 user base.

Not much outside of a tease is shown in the video, but it shouldn't come as a surprise that PS4 will be getting some exclusive treatment from Hideo Kojima... after all, PS2 did put him on the map for one of the most epic Video Game Franchise of all time in Metal Gear Solid.

Here is a video of Samsung's flexible screen tech from 2 years ago. Samsung, Sony and LG will all have flexible screens soon. This video was made before LG's flexible battery tech. Because there were no flexible batteries, there had to be a solid piece of the phone. Now the entire thing can be potentially flexible.
 

 
With how thin the screens can be, it might only be a matter of time before we have tablets that are the size of a standard 12 inch ruler that have screens that can be pulled / rolled out into full size.

The next interesting part is gesture control. All hands free control using ultrasound.
 
 

 
Combine these two techs and we'll have the next gen cell phones, tablets, laptops, TVs of the future.

The flexible screen tech got me thinking.. they could make clothing out of those screens. Imagine a camouflage suit made out of this display technology. With the proper use of numerous mini cameras the screens could display your surroundings all over the suit and blend you completely into any location.
 
Also, with screens that thin.. once they make them bigger and higher resolution, future TVs could be sold rolled up. Apply some double sided tape to your wall, unroll the tv and stick the screen in place. And with gesture control, we wouldn't need a camera built into the TV for smart app features.

Today Sony released a viral video teasing possible Street Fighter content on PS4. There is no word whether this will be a brand new title or just a port of the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter 4 release. Either way, it is an amusing retro homage.

Season 2 isn't too bad but it was nowhere near as good as Season 1. Plus to really understand what's happening in Season 2 you need to watch The Black Contractor, the 4 ep OVA that spans the time between the two series. It explains why certain things are happening in Season 2. Wish it would of aired before Season 2, would of helped me understand everything a little better.

A lot of people are bitching its going to be PG-13... seriously... things that were rated R in the 80s and 90s are PG-13 today and it doesn't really enhance the movie any more or less based on these two ratings. The original had nudity in it... the new one wont but all the violence will be intact and that's what everyone cares about. People can be so ignorant. R rated films are reserved for heavy sexual themes and horror flicks with excessive gore. What excessive gore is now is way more extreme than back then.

One day..... one day....

*coughEvacough*
the ending was conclusive and satisfying

I could only imagine what that looked like from Earth.
