I know you already played it, but whatever. Fez is $9.74 for PS Plus members, and that gets you all 3 versions (PS4, PS3 and Vita).

So did they really spend significant effort making it look prettier for the PS4 because they were so awestruck by the design, even over the One? I guess we'll see soon, but I have a hard time believing they didn't just make it for the lowest common current gen denominator.

Fez is brilliant at first, but soon becomes frustrating and a lot less fun. Skip it until it's free or at least wait for a good sale on it. I'm sure one will be coming eventually.

New App today for the PS4 - One I've been waiting for:


MLB.TV Premium (PS4)

Get ready for another great season of Major League Baseball!!! Now you can watch live baseball games on your PS4 with a subscription to MLB.TV Premium. Watch HD Quality broadcasts of every out-of-market game live or on demand on your PS4. Choose Home or Away feeds, pause and rewind live game action with DVR capabilities. Also available on PS3.

I still won't be able to watch my Dodgers live (thanks to the idiotic blackout with their terrible new network), but at least I can check out some other teams on my PS4.

Whatever happened to Fez 2? Is it still canceled?

I didn't know there was a PS4 version of Fez. How does it play compared to the other versions - is it just as buggy?

I own/bought:

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
Killzone Shadow Fall

and all of the free/PS+ games.

My next purchase will be Final Fantasy XIV (damn likable beta). Then Watch Dogs (depending on system comparisons), and Infamous Second Son at some point.

Pretty sure that a great majority of the TBA titles will get pushed to 2015.

As long as The Order and Diablo III come this year, I won't mind if the rest get pushed.

And I thought that Batman Arkham Knight already had an Oct 2014 release date.

I disagree, maybe The Crew and The Division, but otherwise most of those TBAs seem like they'd be up and running before the end of the year.

I hate that they include indie games in the list, I could give a fuck about indie games.
I fully expect The Division to get pushed to 2015. Wouldn't surprise me if The Order did too.

I agree : It's hard to get too excited about upcoming Indie games, but they're looking to be very important to the industry as a whole going forward. At least Sony has a very tolerant position towards them, unlike the potentially stifling rules that the 360 had (those look to be loosened considerably on the One)

I kind of agree, otoh, Super Meat Boy and Splosion Man were two of the best my favorite games on the 360. Not sure if either counts as full blown Indie but you get the idea.

Oh, I like them too (well, at least I liked Splosion Man), but I said it's hard to get excited about the titles ahead of time. And unlike 2008, now I think I'm much more likely to buy my indie games on Steam than on PSN (unless they're free, of course)

YES!...and anyone else on the Diablo III ROS bandwagon need to know...game is a coop blast. And if the city in The Order has the same detail as Infamous:Second Son Seattle...oh my my.

Didn't they mention at the PS4 announcement that Driveclub was in "development" for like 8 years or something? And at that time they knew that the PS3 wasn't powerful enough for what they were aiming for? There better be a terrific post launch story about this game.

I guess it's a good thing they're including indie games if you could give a fuck about them.
