are ps4 still in hi demand...as in can still flip for few $$$?

Good news! I found another number for warranties, rang them this morning, and they're picking up the faulty unit on Tuesday, when they drop off the replacement

The world is right again.

Anyone playing Resogun? Any tips for a noob? I can get to the 2nd level on veteren, but that's about it. I've been using the nemesis, but just switched over to Phobos,seems slower as I die more often during the level, but must be more powerful as i can beat the first boss in like 15 sec with him

ive played it once so far and had no clue what i was doing. i also need some tips

i got the plat trophy and got to hero challenge mode in masters (beating it in 1cc)
if you use nemesis you have to be using boost as much as possible. make sure to hit clumps of units at the end of it.

nemesis is easiest to use but if you want top 8 score you're going to need phobos for its overkill

nemesis = easiest to clear board but hardest for bosses by a lot (so weak)
phobos is vice versa

i haven't touched the ps4 once i got hearthstone beta key though...........

It's baffling that they didn't include some basic instructions. The first hour I played I had no idea what was going on as your eyes tend to focus on your ship and it's immediate surroundings. It wasn't until I watched a friend play that I was able to look around the whole screen and figure a few things out. The game is infinitely more enjoyable when you realise the mechanics in play.

Anyway, here is what I've learned (someone correct me if any are wrong, these are all educated guesses)



Your ship is surrounded by 2 semi-circular gauges. The top one, a light blue color, is your boost gauge. It depletes as you hold boost and recharges when you release. You can only activate it when the gauge is full. They'll be an audio cue when it's recharged. The bottom one is green and is your Overdrive gauge. It fills up as you collect the green cubes dropped by enemies and you can also only activate it once the gauge is full.

YOU CAN BOOST THROUGH ENEMIES AND BULLETS. I put this in caps as I had no idea you could do this until I got to the third level and it's a massive help for getting better at the game. You can also boost through the weapon Power-Up to collect it if you don't want to shoot its protective shell. Each enemy you hit while boosting will also add a tiny bit to your boost bar to stop it depleting as quickly. When you release boost, you'll also get a small AoE explosion around your ship that instakills anything.



Saving humans


You can play the levels whilst ignoring all humans, but saving them will bring rewards like Extra Lives, Shields, Bombs or Points so it's worth doing.

Humans are released from their cells by destroying a group of Keepers. You'll get the audio cue of 'Keepers detected' then look for any enemies surrounded by a green glow. Once you've killed the last of a group, a sparkly trail will appear and fire towards a cell. This trail goes straight to the cell, so if the cell is on the other side of the screen, the trail will go through the middle (like the diameter of a circle), whilst your ship obviously has to go around the side.

You also get a visual indicator around your ship directing you to any freed humans. It's a green arrow that will appear on the edge of your Boost/Overdrive gauges.

You can't kill humans by shooting them, instead it chips them up in the air (useful if they are about to fall into a hole and die). Once they are clinging to your ship, take them to one of the two floating green stations at the top of each map. You can 'throw' them with L2 (they won't die if they hit an enemy or enemy bullets) which when used in conjunction with boost will really fling them quite far.

On later levels, some groups of Keepers need to be killed in order. There is a visual indicator to let you know which one to target. Using a bomb when these are on screen will result in a 'Human Lost'.

For ship choice I personally like the most mobile one as I usually save my overdrive for the bosses anyway so I'm not too bothered by having a weaker overdrive.



That's all I've figured out so far. Really fun game but I still haven't managed to beat the final level on Normal yet so I'm hardly an expert. The most useful advice I can give is try to train your eyes to take in all of what is happening on screen. It's really easy to miss the trails to the cells the dead keepers leave or the arrow around your gauge pointing out freed humans if you're not actively looking for them.

Pretty sure you can't beat the game without Phobos. I was stuck on last level with nemesis and lost like 20 times. Won with Phobos without losing a life on 3rd try. I probably suck too.

thats a silly blanket statement. I beat master level in 1cc with nemesis. obv its doable with all ships

U must save humans for extra life and bombs

thanks for the resogun tips, much appreciated

im also looking for a headset to use with ps4 for game chat as well as game audio since i play on a monitor and have no game sound without it. any suggestions? found this one that is coming out tomorrow and it looks like it could be pretty good but i have no idea

http://www.amazon.com/Gioteck-EX-05s...teck+ex-05+ps4

Def gotta be using that overdrive as much as you can and not saving it if you want higher scores.

that headset looks ridiculous and awesome lol
seems overkill to wear that on your head while playing though. i just use apple earpods for convenience

its pretty similar to the one i use for 360 and for games like call of duty headsets like that are super beneficial. seems like a solid price on it as well

Yeah I was exaggerating obv but Phobos made it easier for sure

Help lads......

With a ps4 do I have to buy an online pass similar to the xbox one?

First they made me buy a bundle pack and now are saying without the online pass = no online gaming. Is this true? Scamming bastards if so.

That info has been known for months.

You should have a free psn+ month and a 10€ gift card in the consolee tho.

Lol I'm old and don't tend to keep up with latest ps news.

More annoyed about the manner it was sold to me than anything else. Was told no pass = no online gaming at all.

The sun is having a promotion; sign up for their paywall for 1£ For the first month and get a free 10£ psn card imediately and 10£ amazon card after 7 days. After that, just cancel the account.

People on neogaf are going crazy and racking up 100£ worth of psn cards.

I just need to figure out if non-uk people can do it...

lol, from the thread.

That's actually pretty crazy. What does xbox gold give you besides ads?

lol wat?

It's pretty much the same as PSN+ or whatever it's called. You get online multiplayer and free games. There's less games on xbox but you get to keep them even if your membership lapses which PSN+ doesn't allow IIRC.

This appears to be a list of all the games that will be on it thru mid next year, anyone confirm?
