    Since this is essentially a co-op game, it would be good to have PSN iDs in there of people who bought it (20% off on launch week if you didn't know).
    AFAIK this is also cross buy and cross play with PS Vita (and PS3, and cross chat, thanks Mr-Brett).

    This seems to have come from out of nowhere and is getting great reviews across the board. The fact that the developers of Magicka are behind this immediately has me interested and I do enjoy twin-stick top-down shooters like this. However, I am a solo-only gamer so I am hoping that the game is as enjoyable (a.k.a. not unfair) played that way as it is co-op. I can always lower the difficulty I guess.

    I don't think there's any difficulty lowering available.

    Why solo only? Your posting suggests you have an internet connection ;)

    I did ask in the general PS4 thread, but it probably makes more sense here, I'd appreciate someone checking if the game has a stick swap option.

    I've seen nothing positive about the solo play. The GT Just Played tore that aspect of it apart - Ben Moore was the most positive about the game as a whole and he thought the SP was terrible.

    Do not like playing games online in multiplayer or co-operatively. I am and always will be a solo gamer; play at my own pace, no interruptions, no annoyances. :)

    I'm hearing impaired anyway so I stay away from any game that requires communication with others online and if I don't talk then I would imagine most people would assume I'm ignorant and not want to play anyway. MMORPGs I am fine with though as communication is via keyboard in those (that said, I still tend to play those mostly solo too...).

    @Darren

    Ok fair enough.

    The EG review says solo play can be quite fun and tactical...

    Doesn't seem to sync my vita save properly :(

    It says syncing save games but I'm rank one on ps4. Arg, this is critical to my enjoyment.

    I've jumped in but I've got a load of other things on the PS4 that need downloading and updating first so it will be a while, dsmx1 I shall appear as at a later time.

    Very tempted to pick this up, but the BACKLOG. Sounds great, I just don't know if I'll get time to play it

    The thing ia if you intend on getting it at some point, now is the time considering the 20% off.

    It'll be on offer down the line, and on Plus at some point.

    I really don't get the "I will wait for it to come to Plus" mentality, I see that with every indie game released. What about supporting the developers? And in the case of a multiplayer focused game, isn't it better to get in early?

    I'm really tempted by this, but the 'hope you don't fuck it up for everyone else' bit of the review worries me a bit.

    If anyone's going to fuck shit up well through a level, it's going to be me and my weak gaming skills...

    It does sound great, love a twin stick shooter, but another +1 here for being a liability on the battle battlefield.

    I'll probably cave later tonight.

    Clink, clink, clink, oh yeah, no auto-reloading!

    Taken a couple of planets solo so far and I'm really enjoying it.

    Not enjoying dropping an ammo box on my head nor stupidly getting in the way of my auto-turret as it wreaks destruction.

    I'm enjoying what I've played a lot but still can't get my vita ranking moved over to my ps4 :(.
  • Deleted user 4 March 2015 20:01:37
    Is this 60fps or 30?
