Planetside 2 is out now a its got a subscription model by the looks of it, quite an expensive one too.
Are the FTP shooters any good Warframe or Blacklight any good?
Haven't played an online shooter in years so want to dip my feet in gently & free ain't too costly

You really don't need to sub, and it is a option same as on PC.

Just waited an hour to download the last 200mb of Planetside2 to try and get a shot of it before heading to bed.......... Servers unavailable!!!!!

So, have had an interesting problem. Just wondering if any one here has encountered this problem.

After waiting for the backup to finish, 5-6 hours, I installed the new hdd with no issues. When I went to do the restore the playstation couldnt find any data. I connected the external hdd to my laptop to see what the deal is and it showed up as being empty. Disconnecting and reconnecting the external hdd from/to the laptop for a second and third time resulted in; First, the hdd showing that it has data on it, but when opening it to see it was completely empty. Second, when opening the hdd it showed the folders PS4-->EXPORT-->[Epmty Folder]

When the backup process finished there were no errors of any kind. I figure that i just need to try with another hdd but could it be anything else?

Warframe is good and is the game Destiny should have been in terms of concept and scope. If you download it there are alot of big updates for it too but they do add alot of free content. Warframe has changed and expanded a good deal since it was released on the PS4 at the end of 2013.

Blacklight is very poor and it's FTW model is basically pay to win, I wouldn't recommend it at all.

2tb Hdd arrived today. Man that backup takes a while. 4 hours and counting...

Which one did you go for? I got the recommended one from Amazon and it came in literally a card board envelope after being shipped from England. It was most likely broken so I wasn't even bothered putting it into my machine. Sent it back but want to order another.

This is the one I went for: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/321630687963?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Arrived on time in very good packaging.

Backed up everything again, this time it looks to have worked. Will get back to see the amount of time it'll take

I think the population on console is fine but hardline is dead on PC.

Captain Chaos · 24-06-2015 03:30PM

Don't think it's doing too hot on consoles either. It's has been at the €40 price for almost a month now. I think most players have finally seen it for what it is, BF4 DLC.

E3 for Vagrant Story - that's a no-brainer.
Great game, imo.

Taltos · 24-06-2015 04:15PM

Still have my physical disk - well ahead of it's time.
It's aged but still great fun.

Anyone play Batman on PS4 yet... is it buggy or anything? Should I hold off?

Playing fine for me so far anyway but only about 2 hours into it.

Working fine for me and every review I have read is that the PS4 version runs really well. I think it was the one they sent out for review.

Digital Foundry posted an article on it:

Batman: Arkham Knight on PS4 is a technical tour de force

Kenjataimu · 24-06-2015 05:58PM

Any way of stopping people adding you to group messages?

Varik · 25-06-2015 01:34AM

Planetside 2 is up now, not going to play as it's late.

If anyone plans to jump on give me a shout.

Another 2GB patch.

Nope, its perfectly fine. No reason to hold off.

Did anyone get a 2 tb hard drive in argos? Bit wary of re ordering from Amazon after the last debacle.

Any of the ones in Argos have to be dismanteled before you can use it as an internal drive. From your story I take it your ordered from a third party through Amazon and not directly from Amazon themselves.

So long as the drive was in an antistatic bag it was most likely ok regardless if it was in it's box or not as it could have been an OEM drive that never had a retail package in the first place.

You could try Currys for a proper internal HDD, I can't see and 2.5" internal 2TB HDD on their site though.

Varik · 25-06-2015 05:06PM

500 people and a 5 minute queue to get onto the first server on Planetside 2, might have to create a new character on the other one.

Varik · 26-06-2015 01:35AM

Didn't think there would be but Planetside 2 has trophies that you can get without spending anything, didn't think free games could have them.

I would say most of them that don't have like 3 month subs or whatever will include the trophies in the free version... Like Loadout and Warframe you just buy coins or currency... Not sure whether PlanetSide has subscriptions though
