Let me know how FF type 0 is. I've been thinking about picking it up. It was on sale correct?

Yep - if you are lucky - you can get the Day One Edition like I did for $20 from Best Buy.

The Day One Edition has the Final Fantasy XV Demo in it

Will play Type-0 after I try out FFXV XD!

Sony unlocked the 7th PS4 power.

Recent PS4 SDK update unlocked 7th CPU core for gaming - NeoGAF

Since launch of PS4 we had many reports from devs that games on PS4 can access only 6 CPU cores, while the other two were dedicated to OS. Here is one of them from GG and their postmortem on making launch game Killzone Shadowfall (full PDF): In effort of trying to get at least some performance back against PS4 that took commanding lead with 50% stronger GPU and more dev-friendly memory system, Xbox One team at MS unlocked 7th CPU core and added a slight overclocking, which has over the last year provided some wins against PS4 in heavy CPU-processing scenarios. Now it looks like Sony has updated its SDK (as quietly as always) and enabled their developers to also access 7th CPU core. Proof comes from the changelog of the recent update of FMOD, a popular audio gaming middleware.

Code:

 

Firelight Technologies FMOD Studio API Detailed Revision History 17/11/15 1.07.03 - Studio API patch release (build 69975) Features: LowLevel API - When using System::recordStart the provided FMOD::Sound can now be any channel count, up/down mixing will be performed as necessary. LowLevel API - Improved performance of convolution reverb effect when wet is 0 or input goes idle. LowLevel API - PS4 - Added FMOD_THREAD_CORE6 to allow access to the newly unlocked 7th core.

 

http://www.fmod.org/docs/content/gen.../revision.html While MS was very loud with promotion on their SKD updates (they needed a good word mouth this gen), Sony is usually very quiet on their releases, even substantial ones (PSP CPU overclocking abbility, numerous PSP&Vita&PS3 shrinking of OS memory footprint,etc). On the same page you can find that FMOD got support for 7th Xbox One core in January of 2015. /compile my conciousness in single-threaded DX11 code if old

DA I is on sale at EU PSN..
I played and loved the first two (yes even II, sue me) but it's been ages (almost 5 years?) since I touched them. Would it be confusing to jump into this one after largely having forgotten a big chunk of the lore and story?

Buy it buy it buy it! This game is almost completely separate, if you hadn't played the other two games at all you'd still be completely fine. One of my favourite games of the gen so far, its amazing.

FF Type 0 is pretty good. I really like how it makes you feel like you're a bad dog. Even if it's pretty much just a hack and slash run from point A to B game. The music is awesome and also add's to that level off bad dog you feel playing the game. The graphics tho... They needed some work. I understand it's a PSP game, but they could have done a bit more, it a lazy port in that regard. And the lack of motion blur hurts. It all most feels like bad frame rate, but it's not that. Stationary objects stutter  as you run around. It's really weird and hard to explain. I've just learn to move the camera slowly and it helps.

My left thumb stick on my first contoller has finally torn. Oh well. I've got plans for that anyway.

the rubber on PS4 controllers is complete shame.

did they fix that with later controllers?
