Yeah my favorite part is that it runs at a steady framerate. And man, does the game look beautiful when you are up on top of the buildings with a big view.
Can't wait for the 1080p + AA patch. This game is gonna be a beaut.

Did you not see videos of the gfx before you bought one? How can it be a surprise.
I see "some" just like I see "some" in Killzone. I'm sitting 5' from my 60" LED TV in the bedroom as I was playing. I also use this same TV for PC gaming sitting the same distance away.
I thought AC4 looked pretty good compared to other PC games I've played with AA turned on.
But like I said, the real selling point of this is the framerate improvement which just shits on the previous gen versions of the game.
Yeah it does have some jaggies, but the game is actually going to be getting a 1080p patch plus a new method of AA will be applied. I'm really curious to see the result because the game already looks quite good for the most part.
For whatever reason they seemed much better when I watched them on my computer. But my guess is going from a computer to my giant plasma is what did it.
I'm not mad I bought it because it's Sonys exclusives I'm investing in, but I'm just disappointed in the graphics is all.
Was cleaning my entertainment center and took some pics of the PS family.
This is a fantastic vision!!
missing only PSOne!
Maimed your PS2 tray for swap magic or just the logo missing? Can't make it out. I've done that to my launch console (regret), but still got the front tucked away. Something snapped when removing it, so i've got to glue it.
Just found my PSP which i thought was gone for good, PS1, PS2, PS3, (PS4), Vita and PSP reporting in for the tower of power.

Just gotta compare to another console.
It's already clear that this gen's consoles are not starting out of the gate more powerful than PC's, and they aren't going to get any more powerful. Optimization and exclusivity will prove whether anything on console is worth it compared to PC versions, but you can't expect your PC with a GPU nearing the cost of the entire console to be playing in the same league as said console.
Be happy you can say you've seen better and enjoy the experience. Resogun isn't on PC!

Swap Magic for my Japanese games.
I've had sound issues as well, especially after making a sound setting change like unchecking DD and checking DTS. It's like it needs a soft reboot to standby and back at least to make the changes kick in.
I am happy that the optical cable and HDMI can output sound simultaneously, so that's a nice upgrade from PS3's "either-or" setting.

Ok this is just too cool! Remote play has come of age, people. It can only get better from here.

That's been happening to me off and on, too.
These visuals are borderline real at times in NBA2K14.
protip: change the last part, 'large' to 'orig' in the URL to make it higher res
I believe UBI, said it has a 1080p patch (either day 1 or coming, cant remember but deffo)
Also Ubi designed a better AA for it, also included in the patch

when you guys do get your PS4's i suggest taking a look at the HDMI port before you slam a cord in. I noticed one of the shielding tabs was a touch high in comparison to the other one. it really did look like it might catch on the male jack of HDMI cord..

Checking in now since I just got unbanned..
Got my 2 PS4s from Amazon on Friday at about 11am, swapped the stock drives out for HGST 1.5TB drives and had a scare, when I tried to do the updates on both of them I had it say "an error has occurred" and I was unable to update them. Turns out that the PS4s didn't like my Corsair USB 3.0 USB flash drive and I went out, got a cheap Lexar thumb drive and it worked fine. It took an ETERNITY to download all of my purchased games once the PSN finally went up but they eventually made it and I've been enjoying them,
COD Ghosts looks gorgeous post-patch. Whoever says 1080p doesn't matter hasn't seen this game in 1080p.
Knack has impressed me. It's a difficult game, the jumping can be a pain, but it's growing on me.
Killzone's SP is fun as hell to me. I love how open ended it's been so far and can't believe it got reviews as low as it did. Still waiting on the Multiplayer download to finish though.
Battlefield 4 SP looks as great as the original 60FPS trailer did to me. I'm blown away by it and am grateful to finally be playing it on a console at 60FPS.
fl0wer is godly at 1080p/60.
I am loving the UI and the way everything works.
I have to wonder how people with 500GB drives will manage their storage later down the line though when their collections of games accumulate. It could be difficult with how big these games are. I don't know why Sony didn't think that through and build the console with a full size drive bay so we could put 4TB drives in it. They're discouraging people from buying a large amount of games.

I've checked and double checked this now and I am certain:
My PS4 is not outputting RGB Full Range correctly, even when the settings are Full in the settings menu. It's stuck on Limited no matter what I do.
Please fix this, Sony.

I was suspicious of this myself last night.
This gonna be a balls for me, Since I use VGA on the back of my TV for absolutely no input lag/post processing.....
VGA = Needing full
Okay, I am prepared to try PSN. I do not have a PSN account yet. I've got the PlayStation Plus 30 day trial, as well as the $50 1 year I bought with the system.
I'm assuming I should start with the 30 day trial, and that they do not stack, correct ?
I also assume it would be better to sign up for PSN on my PC rather than with the PS4 itself, correct?
Let me know.
It's currently 5:12 am CST / 6:12 EST

I wanted to test this but was unsure how to view images on the PS4. does F:\PS4\photos still work on USB drives?
Use the 30 day first then the 1 year. They will stack in that order.

How do you set the system to auto upload game saves?
Won't matter much either way.

It should, but all you have to do is turn the PS4 on and look at the PlayStation logo against what should be a black background. Alternatively, start Killzone and look at the Guerilla Games logo against what should be a black background. It's quite blatantly gray instead of black for me in these cases. I know it's not my TV, receiver, or other sources because everything else in my home theater is set to Full Range and works correctly, including my PS3.

Loving the console and have had no real problems. But there quite a lot of things that are just plain odd and feels a bit rushed.
And it boggles my mind that there is no other theme for the console. It seems to be a given that it would be there.
My big wants are:
- themes... Or atleast no blue.
- smaller icons, whys it so big?
- no folders or any organization... What is with this trend of just throwing everything in a big pile? Who likes this?! Do people get intimidated by organizing?
- you have to shutdown your game to run netflix
- the worst most horrible thing: usb sticks dont work. I would run video off usb practically every day on ps3... Now i have to keep my ps3 ready until it is fixed
Also, no demos? Weird. And some things take way too many button presses to get to. Also some things are so confusing! "This program is ready to install!!" Click it and takes you to notifications, then you go and click on the thing "this is installing" no loading bar. Then "its ready to install!" Then it says installed. But has the notification still there. Then some games just play without installing... Where do you install? Is it already installed? Is it installing while I play? Why wont you tell me anything?!
Overall I am happy. These things can be fixed easily.
AC4 really helps sink in how much nextgen is needed and it feels like a lastgen game, which is so weird! And it does seem higher res than ac3 for sure... But it isnt 1080? Is it 900? Hmm...

If you have plus, it automatically does it, though there is no screen like there was with the ps3
But if you want to make sure
Settings -> System -> automatic downloads and uploads
Thanks.
Guess I'll try now since much of the U.S. / NA is (hopefully) still sleeping.
Weird. There's been nothing on the news here about a derailment. In fact, I picked up my PS4 from the UPS center in Lenexa this morning. It is right across the street from the train tracks, though.
I dunno.
It was down for me about 6 hours ago. It went back up 2 hours later and I was able to que up my games. They are still downloading while system is in standby.
Are you able to currently browse the store? I'm getting "down for maintenance" messages on the PSN Store.
Thanks!
I am trying to set my console up for the first time and I am trying to log into my PSN name, but I have been at the "Please wait..." screen for about 15 minutes.
How long should I leave it like this before I back out and try again?

YOu can tone it down... Give me a minute
EDIT:
Hold down the controller's PlayStation button, select Adjust Devices, and lower that volume
I also set up my PS4 this morning. It took a few minutes to accept my PSN info (definitely not 15 though). I believe they are still having network issues this morning.
