Sony previously announced that the PlayStation app would launch today, 22nd November in Europe. However, they're still making some final tweaks to ensure the experience is butter-smooth for you ahead of the PS4 launch next Friday. The app will now launch next week, in plenty of time for the arrival of PS4 on 29th November.
“April was an indie-heavy month and it was hard to pick the best games but here we go! Hope you have fun and see something you like.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Games Asylum: "It seems reasonable to suggest most people have a preferred takeaway establishment. The one that you always find yourself coming back to, much to your waistline’s despair. Should that takeaway temporarily close, you’ll doubtlessly have to expand horizons and go elsewhere. Sure, the food from a second choice might be palatable, but it’s never the same, lacking in zest. This analogy can be applied to the 3D Realms published WRATH. It’s powered by a modified version of the Quake engine, and even plays like ID’s masterful shooter at times, but it’s lacking that all important crunchiness. It isn’t completely soggy, but there’s not much bite either."
FFS !
Well that sucks...
Off topic question for anyone already using the app:
Is there any way to make it NOT turn your PS4 on as soon as you launch the app???
I love the idea that you can make it wake up from standby, but I don't think it should just happen as soon as the app launches. Why wouldn't that be an option that you have to choose in order to turn it on?
If I just want to check my friends list it makes my PS4 come on, then I have to remember to tell it shut back down or else it is sitting there running for no reason.
Wait, what the hell have I downloaded then? o.O lol
Oh well, deal with it.
They're obviously doing all this for the greater good.
It'll be better than it was going to be if it released now... This is GOOD thing.
Thats at least for Android a non issue as the Android store is not region locked and you can download US apps. I have the Android app installed since it was released in the US.
Apple obviously is a different story since they have their store region locked and the only way around that is DNS to fake you are in the US.
