PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4) | April 2014

So I'm having an issue, and figured a thread about it might not be entirely worth it when we have an at least somewhat related thread like this one already made. Any time I try to download something off of the store or download an update or whatever, my download speeds are absolutely atrocious. Right now I'm downloading DCUO and it's saying it will take 17 hours to finish a 7GB download. My download speeds on my laptop are just fine, peaking around 2-3MB/s. Both PS4 and laptop are on Wifi using an Apple router that I have had zero issues with. XBO also downloads at relatively decent speeds, although still slower than my laptop.

Router is maybe 15 feet away, with nothing blocking a direct line from it to the PS4 (which shouldn't matter much any way in my tiny apartment). I tried a wired connection but it was just as bad, if not worse.

Any idea what could be wrong?
 
So if I have 2 PS4, I 'll have to activate each one as the primary console as I play on it each time to access the games?

You can play PSN games your PSN account owns on any PS4 as long as you're using your own PSN account, but other accounts can only play games your PSN account owns on the PS4 set as your primary PS4.
 
There was a big thread last night about it - but yeah, good to see it again.

Just played PvZ: Garden Warfare. Sony should have moneyhatted EA for a Vita version, I think it would have done quite well as shooters are rare on the Vita and it maybe could have sold some systems to kids as SCEE is trying. I mean, every kid I know, knows PvZ and loves it. They also like playing shooters (but aren't allowed to).
On the VIta the game would have had some spotlight compared to the Xbox releases where it is overshadowed by all the other shooters included Titanfall. I am not speaking of something exclusive, but a port should have worked.


When is PvZ expected on PS4?

I think they still haven't announced anything ;(

Sony Online Entertainment worked with Popcap to bring their games to PSN. It looks like SOE's done with Vita.



Maybe, though the copyright notice says SCE Japan Studio made the game, and that's not true.



It's a free-to-play (though it had a $12 "take all of the F2P elements out" option in Japan) expanded version of Yu-Nama: The Puzzle from PSM. Those that have played the original only have good things to say.



It's weird that Sony would be so quiet on this port given that it looks like a great job by Sanzaru.


SOE is pretty much the rogue developer of Sony. They haven't delivered something worthwhile for the PS3 (sry DC Universe) and still aren't on time with their PS4 ports. I expect nothing from them.

After playing Payday: The Heist for the first time some weeks ago it hurts even more that they haven't kept their relationship with Overkill (now Starbreeze) for Payday 2. Another game which would have been great on a portable with nearly no shooters. Seeing that Payday 2 went on to being some kind of sleeping hit it even stings more.

Not to speak of a real portable MMO *dream*

A lot of people (like me) didn't get it because after it was announced a mobile version was announced and released for $5 before we even heard anything about the Vita version. I'm waiting for a sale before I get it

Keep whining. The mobile port is shit even my 9 year old nephew noticed it. He won't touch the iOS version but loves my Vita version. Too bad I am not a rich uncle who can gift him a Vita. He is also hardcore into Minecraft, already knows about Starbound and was interested in Steamworld Dig, it would be perfect for him.
 
everyone seems to like the White one.. hmmm
it comes with Skinomi too... though that Skinomi layer.. is like yellowing @_@
Hmmm..well, I can understand ypur feelings a little better. That is my greatest fear about my white Vta; that potential for horrid stains, lessening it's sleekness. I'm unfamiliar with this Shinkomi layer you speak of, is that like a screen protector? If there is a way to replace it, say do that too, but then that means spending more money. I love how the white version looks, enogh to make me drive quite a good distance away to buy one from craigslist once I got a little bit of disposable income a few months back.

What's more important though, which one do you like more? I seem to recall you having an interest on the new model, there are some killer color combinations, perhaps sell the one that has a scheme you like better in the new model? And if that is no longer being considered, it's your preference. Part of why I like the white better is that Ifeel that the screen is either sharper, brighter, or just more awespme with the white surroundings. Plus, I love having it in sleep mode in the dark, practically the entire face glows blue from the PS button. Some people hate that, but I love it. The PS button on the black unit is so subdued in comparison. Also, the black stick covers on the white vita looks awesooooomme :P

So yeah, I was about to get pissed and just accept the asstastic speeds I was getting, but I saw my router was ready for a firmware update. I ran that update and well, now I'm getting roughly 2-3MB/s downloads off PSN.

Other folks have said that their download speeds increased dramatically after a router restart, so I'm gonna wait about an hour before I get too excited. However, this is indeed a step in the right direction.

I honestly prefer Black devices more. The only reason I bought this White Vita was that it was on sale during Amazon Black Friday 2012. My only regret is that it is White but I have grown attached to it over time (all those gaming memories)

Hmm I'm kinda curious you said the white border makes the screen sharper/better. I always thought a black border makes the less screen less defined (and in a sense bigger). Which is why most screens and monitors come in black.

Totally random, but is Disney Epic Micky on Vita a digital only release?

Sadly yes, and the game is quite big too (about...2.7 GB's). I find the game good, as I enjoyed the original Epic Mickey and the Vita port of the sequel does run good :); it's native res, has more or less the visuals of the PS3 version, and the frame rate is much better than I though it was going to be.

I got the game for 7.50 during the big January sale, but to be honest...its not worth the 30 bucks it costs on PSN. Granted, its a fun platformer, it has the classic Disney charm, the music is quite good and the Vita version fixes some of the original versions flaws (the AI now mapped to a button on the touch screen, the painting controlling a bit better, the rear touch pad rarely being used). However, the game is just a weak platformer; Mickey's movements feels really floaty, the aiming with the right stick for painting is stiff, the game does have frame rate drops and some flaws from the original game (the camera not being super polished, the mission structure being very irrating at times, the story while good not using it's full potential, the good/evil missions being unclear).

I like the game, as I'm a huge Disney fan and love platformers, but wait for a PSN sale or something; EM2 is not worth the purchase sadly :(.

Yes and while the port is actually really really well done, the core game design sadly leaves so much to be desired.

I will go back and finish it one day when nothing else is coming out, but for now there are so many better designed games to play on Vita.
 
What do you think about that Tales of Hearts R rumour? Hope it's true, since Tempest and Innocence already have a fan translation released.


Like the
posible
EU logo better. Will they announce its localization at E3? (expectations are really low, SCEA has disapointed 2 E3s in a row Vita wise).

you guys are the reason why we don't get colors :|

But dude: PlayStation = Black.

In homeconsoles, DVDs and that kind of stuff black is the perfect color. It look good everywhere.

For handhelds I don't care really care, but I'd take black, dark blue or other color like that above red, yellow or pink. The less flashy the better imo. White isn't a bad choice either.

In smartphones I think the same. Black / Dark Blue / White are the best colors.

Would have loved to have this PS3. Seriously, it looks amazing

But but but... The PlayStation is Gray. :(

While I was playing God Eater, I thought that Alisa's Clemenser (aka the blue Avenger) looked awesome on OLED. Then I tried transfering my data to GE2. And it looked more awesome.

That made me want to get a Blue Vita, and get a custom skin for its readpad with Alisa's symbol. LOL.

Yeah, but every single console released by Sony since the PS1 is black. Even their best selling console is.

So PlayStation = Black.

Does GE2 have a file transfer from GE Burst?
 
I got fucked, I was planning on getting the discounted PS3 version for 7,99€(as long as it is crossbuy) but now I can't because they pulled the discounted one from the store, and the normal one is blocked because I used the discount code. :(

Maybe I'll finally call the PS customer service (they didn't send me the code for Ratchet Gladiator HD)
