Jokes aside I’ve largely loved my time with the black box of doom, especially that remote play, and recently I’ve been giving it a solid work out for the purpose of that Destiny review you’ve hopefully seen by now. If you haven’t, I’ll allow you a moment to drink until it stops hurting. I’m only teasing. Anyway, throughout the many, many hours I played Destiny there was a moment in which my PS4 decided to give me a massive technical scare, and truly woke me up to the fragility of happiness. That is, until I hopped online and found a fix. After all that rambling the purpose of this write-up is to inform you of the issue if you’re unaware of it and also provide you with the necessary fixes, so that you can proceed to enjoy life again if you’re an unfortunate victim."
Golf With Your Friends gets better again, with the introduction of a Critical Hit DLC pack and the launch of Speed Golf.
A remake of MediEvil 2 may be getting shadow dropped at the rumored PlayStation Showcase or State of Play presentation in May, 2024.
What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.
Agreed. The first remake was stylistically beautiful and a very noticeable improvement over the original in every regard. And it was reasonably priced and sustainably developed (i.e. not some mega big budget game that was do or die for the developer).
If you played the original print I can see your annoyance. I didn’t and probably a lot others the past 20 years.
Was it any good? Would you suggest playing the original print of 2, or suggest the remake? Just wondering because I didn’t play the originals as I had an n64 at the time
I played the first remake and absolutely loved it. The quality of life and control improvements were very noticeable. I tried playing the PS1 original and gave up halfway through at the janky controls.
Expect the same for part 2. The PS1 version is janky as heck, but I would gobble up an improved remake day one.
The beauty of this kind of stuff is that I find myself enjoying more retro gaming today, so a relatively low budget classic remake (call it a single-A release) is exactly what is missing from first party releases in the modern age. I don’t want every game to be an unsustainable AAAA endeavor that is just overwhelming in every regard. Truly miss when game releases could be modest-sized surprises and still be commercially successful/viable.
Bring on more quality classic remakes!
Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.
My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).
I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder
"The Vancouver-based (Canada) indie games developer Red Hook Studios are today very happy and excited to announce that their roguelike /strategy/RPG “Darkest Dungeon II”, is coming to Playstation consoles (PS5 and PS4) via PSN on July 15th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I personally didn't enjoy 2 as much as I did 1. Actually didn't even finish it.
I do praise that they didn't just carbon copy the 1st game and added more of everything, but I think that during the process a lot of what made Darkest Dungeon appealing to put a ton of hours in, was lost.
The new mode does look cool and I will definitely jump back into it and try it out.
Thanks for the info. It hasn't happened to me, but I'm glad there was a fix.
"I tried the easiest solution first, which was to turn the PS4 completely off, remove the power cord and leave it for close to two hours. "
you don't need to wait 2 hours, just press the power button until it stops beeping
Surprise, surprise, my ps4 arrived this morning! ETA was tomorrow or before, guess they went with before!
Mine gave me a scare as well. When I just started it up, the audio would crackle and the screen would blink every few seconds. Thought I had a faulty unit!
Everything seems fine since the update though, thank GOD.
Currently waiting on Destiny to install, though I REEEEEEEEEAAAAALLLLYYY wish Sony would allow you to change your username. Been wanting to do that since I had the ps3 (I don't have it atm).

Sony actually posted a video on their YouTube showing the fix.

Mine has done this a few times randomly. When it has done it the system was off. If a disk was inside it would beep, spit it out and then keep ejecting with no disk in it. So far every time it has happened unplugging it, hitting the power button to drank it while unplugged, and leaving it for about 10 mins corrects it. At least Sony has acknowledged the issue now. When this first happened to me I called them and they had not heard anything about it. When will console makers wake up and realise it is ok to recall systems with known issues and replace them? Rather than have the customer keep something that will break at some point.
