Finally hooked up the new PS4. I took the RD2 DVD out of the package (how cute, I haven't done anything like that in years!) and inserted it into the drive. I was surprised as the PS4 informed me that it would take an HOUR to copy the DVD.
Ok, I waited an hour. The DVD finished and I'm told to place the player disc into the drive (how cute, old school copy protection!). The PS4 then tells me it will take another 30 minutes to copy it!
I wait. I finally finished copying everything over but still made me use the disc to play.
I did get to play some RD2. It was as I feared, the controller will take a lot of getting used to. I was ten minutes into playing when I discovered that the other 'joystick' would let me look around. At the first gunfight (where I had the gunfighting skills of a drunken Otis from Mayberry) I went into some kind of crouch mode. After the action was over I will still stuck in it. I could only imagine the look on the dude's face that went into the house and told me to follow him. I crouched my way in right behind him. I managed to crouch my way through helping him collect food. He never said a word.
