:ps4: Foul Play - $2.00 to $100.00 [customspoiler='Fine Print'] :ps4: Foul Play is a part of the PlayStation Heroes program, which means that you can pay your choice among a variety of price points for an item that is usually a theme for entries into a contest to win some prize with most of the money going to a charity. There are no details at the moment for what the prize for buying Foul Play offers, so I'll post that whenever it's announced.

Edit: From the PlayStation Heroes app on PS4, the Foul Play promotion is for a trip to PlayStation Experience in December. Once you purchase the game, you're supposed to go here to register for the actual contest, though you should wait until the page is updated for the PlayStation Experience promotion instead of whatever it's on at the moment.[/customspoiler]

Just got my ESO PS4 beta key, so those hoping to get codes should keep an eye out.

Edit: The main client is 39 GB, so keep that in mind if you're low on space.

Edit 2: Plus a 15.4 GB update, so that's 54 GB total.

I fully agree with this. I'm not sure I've ever purchased a game based on my experience with the demo. I have, however, decided not to buy a game because of the demo. The problem is that if i'm not financially invested in a game, my experience with the demo tends to be one where I am looking for reasons not to buy it. If I've already purchased the game, i'm much more likely to put the time and effort into understanding and appreciating the game systems, mechanics, etc. Admittedly, this is not the best way to handle it.

 
That's basically what publishers have found that they're expensive to make and sway very few that hasn't intended to buy the game. The people that would have bought the game are the ones that get impacted if they feel it doesn't live up to their expectations, isn't for them, that they've played enough of the game, etc.
 
One of the only times a demo has swayed me to buy a game was the demo for Folklore on PS3.  

Anyone remember that game?  I still think it is criminally underrated and underplayed, and it has probably the most clever and natural-feeling use of Sixaxis control ever.

I still have that game. Underrated PS3 exclusive. Loved the art. Didn't love having to basically play the game twice to get the ending.

Yes, more often than not they stop me from buying a game. Occasionally I play one for a game I had no interest in and realize it's amazing, but that's so rare. I don't have time for my backlog anymore, let alone demos, so it's a moot point for me now. If I want a game, I'll more likely buy it than deal with the hassle of downloading, installing, and remembering to play the demo.

Folklore is incredible and the Sixaxis motion control was superbly implemented.

I would love a sequel. I even sent a message to the Sony blog when they were announcing PSABR DLC suggesting Ellen and Keats as characters with their attacks being the Folks.

 
Folklore would have probably seen a resurgence if they would have just added trophy support to the game.  Sadly it's probably going to never see a remaster or sequel as the studio is no more and the game didn't do that well.

If a game has no demo, 99% of the time I move on and only "buy" the game if it's on huge discount.

I don't buy a game if I like the genre... I buy a game if I like *that* game. I don't randomly buy indie games just cause it's of a similar style or a particular genre. *each* game I purchase has to be something I like. It's very rare that I buy any game on/near release, and i've only pre-ordered 2 games in the past year or so..

If a game has me sorta curious, and no demo, I acquire a "demo" elsewhere to see if I want to add it to steam/console etc.

Game rentals from gamefly/redbox/local video store/etc are a large reason demo's are rare anymore.

Demo's and trial weekend's I love.

 
Demos were also more prevalent when print magazines were dominant at the time that the systems switched to a disc-based medium. As one of the selling points of some of the game magazines is periodically it came with a disc featuring 6-8 demos on it.

The atmosphere in that game is like no other. The way the music and the art style fit together to create a perfectly eerie and whimsical world.. Folklore really is a great experience.

Folklore was great. I never did buy the DLC for it, was any of that worth a look?

 
is there any way to get rid of the crappy spotify and .. forgot what the other icon was.. think its PS now, from the PS4 menu? I hate that these 2 eyesores on on my media bar wasting space that can be taken with games or something i actually care about

They went on to make Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom, which had much better controls and trophies, but lacked the atmosphere of Folklore.

I stopped playing Folklore because I was really hoping they'd patch in trophies, but they never did.

 
I want to miss demos now that they're rare.

But.. I just never have time for demos.  I had a folder on my ps3 with like 60 demos in it for games I wanted to try.    That folder was like the backlog of my backlog, since why the heck would i boot up a demo when i had countless other full games to give a go? 

In theory, I get it -- it's a chance to try the game before I buy!  In practice, I'm gonna get the game when it hits a price i like - and it'll probably hit that price before I even get around to playing the demo.  Sometimes I'll love the game! Sometimes I'll hate the game!  Most times I"ll never play it anyway!

Well, the best part about Etrian Odyssey demos is that you can continue where you left off when you get the main game. So you can try the first bit of the actual game.

Who needs a demo? Just wait for six months, when the price drops so low they're practically giving the full game away.

Anyway. Because misery loves company, I thought I'd show you the sale Europeans are getting right now... and we are not.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/04/22/big-savings-arcade-classics-start-today-playstation-store/

I would buy these games. I would not buy Call of Whatever.

Disagree! :)
I was actually surprised by how fun it looks (was skeptical originally). Combat reminds me of Arkham and Mordor. Plus some great looking car stuff.

Don't you disagree me, how dare you! :shame:

JK, was never really interested in it anyways. I will eventually play it though, just not anytime around release.

 
Finally, some near-final PS4 footage of the elusive Project Cars. Watch it at 60fps for full effect. Looks gorgeous. Game drops 5/12.

The rain looks amazing.

The combat looks like a Batman game - which is how most of the action/adventure games from WB seem to look these days. Having said that, I got even more excited about the game after the trailer.

I am going to get it day one and let it sit there for at least 6 months. Then I play it for 2 days before jumping onto something else. Thats exactly how I have been approaching all the games so far. I have 1% completion on 100% of the games :)

Solution -- mail it to me to keep warm for the first few months. Then when you're read you know the disc works already.

Amazing idea; and, since I am only going for the 1% completion, I can mail it right back if you want to continue keeping it warm. DUDE, we are onto something here!

I'm drooling over this footage right now. I hope this game is the racing sim we've been waiting for on PS4. I have it preordered and can't wait until May at this point.

For those of you who like the rain effect, have you tried DriveClub? The rain there looks pretty great. Not sure if this game has any other comparisons, but if you're looking for that, it may be worth checking out.

 
Between the praise here and a Twitch video from Tyler over at PSNOT, I caved and bought Shovel Knight. I'll try it out over the weekend.

Wallet is down to 41 cents.

I actually just bought DriveClub last week for under $20. (Had BB PM Gamestop.) I haven't played it yet - soon though!

I like how the game already has Shovel in the title. It's like they're making fun of all those people who think that indie = shovelware.

Or else they're openly admitting that the game is shovelware.

 
I'm enjoying the ESO beta quite a bit so far. I guess I picked a different build for my character than the PC beta, so I'm in a completely different place (Daggerfall) to start. I don't really get why some buildings, like the king's castle in Daggerfall, are open to looting while most others are locked down tight.

Despite saying they were cool with using the PS4's capture stuff to record gameplay, I get the "this is a blocked scene" message any time I try to do the native capture.
