So what External 8tb options do i have for my PS4 besides Seagate ? brands and Prices are what intrests me ?

i might even consider getting a Bare drive and throwing that in a Caddy if that is cheaper and more effective !

OK, I caved in and bought a PS4 Pro because most of my friends and some close family are gaming on PSN.

I've got Bloodborne, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted series and Rocket League.

Any PS4 Exclusives that I really need to play, having been a PC-only gamer for ages now? I usually play story-driven stuff and enjoy sci-fi/fantasy RPGs/ARPGs.

Also, head hurts at frame rate in Ghost Recon, so used to buttery smooth camera panning on my PC! I've enabled boost mode so maybe that will fix it.

Also, no way to map the DS4 Gyro to fine aim like in Steam, what the hell is this carp?

The Last of Us. Has to be played.

Seconded. Fantastic from start to finish. A true gem.

Ordered the remastered one, cheers peeps.

Despite my initial reservations, I do like the way the social aspect of PSN gaming is done - had some good laughs last night.

I've failed over the years to persuade friends to invest in a decent PC so now feel dirty but it's fun.

Not a PS4 exclusive but a console one - Destiny. I guess most people might have moved on but it is still worthy. Great with friends, too.

Finally looking move away from my 360 and get a ps4 slim 1tb, is there likely to be any deals coming up soon?
Currently looking at paying around £260, that seem about right?

 

[LiE]

I can get a slim white for £175 - good deal?

A fair number of people found it meh, myself included.

I would honestly say there hasnt been a single great ps4 exclusive title yet.

Well after getting a bit bored with what MS has to offer I decided to buy a PS4. I got Uncharted 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn with it in a deal and have ordered the Last of Us. I'm absolutely loving Uncharted 4, the character animations, general presentation and visuals are all very impressive, particularly for a console game. I'm yet to try Horizon, I want to complete Uncharted first.

Why do some people always have this assumption? Bugs me no end.

Tense it was. Hated all those Bloaters and Stalkers. The fridge and car pushing was intense as well.

Firing up the jenny in the pitch black basement was so intense. And finding the keycard.

I did really jump when the light fell. Curse Naughty Dog and those damn generators. It was the same in Uncharted.

The highest rated game on Metacritic of 2016 not great enough for you?

I wonder if it does/will let you move games between internal and external storage. A modest-sized SSD could be a somewhat more appealing proposition as an internal drive in that case.

SSD is a waste of money by the looks of it. Not the gains expected as it seems it's bottle-necked in the hardware somewhere. I was going to do the same thing until I saw the figures. I may upgrade to a larger conventional/hybrid HDD.. something like this?

I was specifically referring to the visuals, not the other two points. As much as I have enjoyed owning my XB1 there is no way it competes with a PC with everything cranked to ultra. Gears 4 looked pretty impressive at times, MGS5 was very pretty, etc, but realistically a PC at ultra settings is always going to outperform. Uncharted 4 is probably the closest graphical comparison I have seen.
