Pretty cool to hear the director's take on playing and even he was caught surprised by a few things.

GREAT video. Totally excited for this one.

K&AJones

Just curious as to who here is getting this. I know it's it's 2-player only co-op but having enough to drop-in and run will be good. I know for sure two others I play with on Destiny (and Warframe) are getting this. I did do the Gold w/Season pass digital DL on the PS4 the other day.

Well, if you keep posting these awesome videos of it, I may pick it up! Seriously though, it is on my radar and may get it eventually but probably not at release. Dragon Age Inquisition comes out the same day.

K&AJones

I was so-so on Dragons Age simply because of the single player only, it's going to be a long game and Assassin Creed unity & Far Cry 4 out next month. Then about 4-6 weeks ago they annouced 4-player coop added...not sure if it's the whole game yet. But it does look stunning but I'm in with AC:Unity and FC4 for sure.

This is Day 1 for me. I'll be on the X1 if anyone wants to add me.

As far as I can tell the only co-op in this game is the open-world stuff between missions (and the DLC it appears). That might be a lot of fun, but it might also be monotonous after a while -- especially if it yields no tangible rewards for progress.

In any case, I know I'd be happy to let some of you try out the PS4-exclusive "Keys To Kyrat" hour-long multiplayer trial with me. I'm sure K&A Jones would as well.

I have loved all the games in the series so far and this one looks like it will continue that trend. First day buy for sure.

K&AJones

Yep...I've got to get a list of some friends who I want to send invites to for a free run-around on this one. That's a big time plus feature there.

Gooter

Don't forget about SharePlay.

Decker

It would be a lot better if it were more than one play session for one hour. Still I'm going to use it as an opportunity for my buddy to try out the game and see if he likes it.

Gooter

Echo echo echo..... Cough shareplay*, cough


*maxes at 1 hour play sessions as well, but from what I gather, you can immediately setup another 1 hour play session after the first one (right? could be wrong).

Decker

Is wrong. In this case.

Share play is like couch co-op. That is an unlimited number of one hour sessions. Great for games like Madden 15 or Diablo III that could be played as a local multiplayer game.

Share play doesn't work with multiplayer games like Destiny or Call of Duty that would require two PS4s to play multiplayer. Think of Share Play kind of like Remote Play -- you're only using the processing power of one PS4 - the host's console.

Keys To Kyrat is something else. You're getting a true multiplayer experience in the open-world environment without actually owning or downloading the game, but only for one hour. And it's limited to ten invites per game owner, only one invite per guest. It's the first game to do something like this.

Always setting me straight, thanks Decker.

However, couldn't you use the 'pass the controller' option and just have your friend play the single player portion? I guess that works if the only goal is for them to try out the game. If you want to play together, then I see how Shareplay won't work in that case.

Day one for me as well.

Far Cry 4 Goes Gold

Ubisoft expects to move more than 6 million copies in a year

"When I look back at Far Cry 4’s development, I'm amazed at what the team pulled off," said executive producer Dan Hay. "We added verticality. We gave the player the ability to fly. We gave them the ability to fly in co-op. We gave them the ability to fly and have the other player down on the ground running around while they’re flying. We made the number of encounters way higher. The encounters are different, and the animals are different. The characters are unique, and your friends will have subtly different experiences with the story. I’m proud of both the quality and the sheer volume in Far Cry 4."

New TV spot.....

Rob V

Looks so freakin amazing. My most anticipated game in a long time.

slop101

When you have a game that looks so good, why bother making a commercial that, where it's all pre-rendered bullshit? What that tells me is that they don't have confidence in their own game.

Decker

I don't think that was pre-rendered. That looked like gameplay footage mostly.

slop101

No, compared to the videos posted earlier in the thread which were actual gameplay, that one definitely looked pre-rendered.

james2025a

Some looked pre-rendered and some looked in game. The quality of the first three games has been top notch and this looks to continue it. Definite first day purchase and i am really looking forward to it.

Rob V

Right, after all the videos posted about how confident and amazed they actually ARE, some pre-rendered scenes for a TV bit naturally means they aren't confident and have penis envy.

chuckd21

So they can control the narrative they're trying to convey in the brief video.

slop101

What you see as "controlling the narrative", I see as "deception".
