PS4 Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

Here's something I hadn't been thinking of when I first plugged in the console, but now that I'm checking my network connection on my ps4 I'm considering:
Anybody else check their PS4's NAT? Mine seems to be type 2. Does anyone know what ports to open for PSN?
Also for some weird reason my ps4 is saying my connection is now 1.4 Mpbs down 787 Kbps(yes you read that right, Kilo) up When my connection is supposed to be 27 down 7 up. Did a speed test on a computer right next to it and got that result... Hmmm....

Can I ask if anyone has the camera and how are the voice commands?

I played some warframe and abilities are activated by swiping up down left or right. It works fine but didn't feel that easy to use. I needed to kind of take my hand off the controls to swipe it.

Is anyone else having issues with internet connection speed and losing Wi-Fi signal? I have a feeling it's on my end but I don't know if PSN is still wonky...

The voice commands work with just a headset too, without needing the camera. I haven't tried them yet but supposedly the short list of commands that work did so well.
How can shorter sticks be more precise than taller sticks? The math says: Longer stick = more precision.
I'm happy to believe the sticks are more precise than the PS3's one though.

Same question .. Do these work on PS4?
Lol same I can't help but watch.
Not at launch. Coming in a future, hopefully close, update.

Damn. thanks.
I dont have any external speakers, hopefully its within days/weeks and not months. TV sound isn't cutting it.
I don't think so. Just early 2014.

I still can't get into Killzone's multiplayer. I don't know what it is. I really like the SP. Anyways, I'm been really enjoying Warframe. I was shocked at how much fun this is, especially with friends. Graphics look good too in 1080p (obviously not Killzone good, but it looks pretty enough).
Going to try Blacklight Retribution today. Maybe that can replace my itch for Multiplayer. I'm actually enjoying Call of Duty Ghosts on PS4, but I really can't stand twitch shooters. And so those brief moments of fun, are always annoyed by the style of gameplay.

Remote play is soooo good guys! Its so nice to be able to remote play without getting an error message saying this game doesn't support remote play like on PS3.
Thanks. I will give it a shot. Seems to only be an issue with Sound Shapes for me. Just started downloading DCU with no issues.

I would like to know what settings I should use as well. I just have a regular lcd HDTV.
Yes, this works. None of my purchased games would download last night, but then I pushed the downloads from the SEN site and all was well.

Yup PSN still acting up. I expect this to go on for about another week. Playing games online is working fine. I was playing KZ, Resogun, and Warframe all this weekend with no issues. The problem seems to be the "What's New" section and the area where you learn more information about the games (pressing down anywhere), sometimes I see the info there and sometimes it just stays blank. "What's New" has always been blank for me.
Knack has second screen? Please explain,
Also, I couldn't figure out how to get second screen functions to work in Playroom.
Just got a chance to hold the controller, I'm kind of disappointed after hearing all the praise. Why are controllers still made for 8 year olds? I've got adult man hands and this controller feels like some kind of play thing. Sticks are too small, triggers are too small, everything about it is too small.

What's new worked for me the first time i used my ps4 and hasn't since then. PSN store has been down for me once but other than that it has worked everytime. My biggest issue currently is certain games just not working online...BF4/2k14...and Ghosts fucking shit framerate.

I might be mistaken but can't you play coop with different video feeds for TV and Vita?

Maybe Sony will sell a XL edition for gamers like you some day.
DriveClub looks absolutely incredible. Really looking forward to playing the PS+ version and then upgrading it if I like the 'base' edition.
Still 12 days to launch here, trying to stop myself buying more games although I think FIFA may be added to the launch buy list before the end of the day

Question: just about every time I hear a developer mention second screen possibilities for games in the future, they mention phone & tablet, but never Vita. I see that there's the option for second screen functionality when I boot up remote play.
Not exactly sure how these things work, but I'm assuming second screen stuff has to be separately programmed for, like 'we're going to have a second screen app that supports Android and iOS'. Is the Vita automatically supported as part of the PS4 ecosystem? Or could there be games that potentially only support second screen on mobile and tablet if the developer can't be bothered?

There's no in-game chat in killzone.

For anyone that is having troubles with the PS4 not using the full speed of their internet, I followed the port forwarding guide over at http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm (Select your router brand name, then model, then select PlayStation 4) and my download/upload speed jump up considerably for me.
This is my speed when doing a test from my PC:
Before I followed that guide I got 2.4 down and like 890kbps up.
After I did the port forwarding I'm getting anywhere between 2.2 mbps - 3.8 mbps down to 2mbps - 4mbps up now.
My latest speed test result I got on my PS4 is 3.8mbps down and 3.1mbps up.

It's only one earbud and it's really low volume. Not comparable at all.
Well been playing all weekend. Liking it so far but I believe the UI can use a bit of organization. Games should be on their own section and entertainment apps the next.
If I were to keep the same theme - I would have the top navigation the same, the second row be JUST games (with folders, A-Z, etc) and a third row for just entertainment apps. Right now even with just a few games installed I can easily see it getting extremely cluttered.
My second beef is better logical organization of system settings, save files, recorded media/screenshots, etc. You can manage it all, but the menu navigation isn't exactly intuitive.
Other than that - it runs great. Games look/run great. No issues other than PSN the first 48 which is to be expected.
Obviously looking forward to using my Pulse headset again but hopefully that will come soon. Right now I use my super-duper old USB mono headset and it works flawlessly. Loving party chat.
DS4 is great with the exception of the analogs. I would have rather had the same convex style that was in previous DS controllers. The combo of convex with rim isn't extremely comfortable to hold at full tilt. Triggers are fine, shoulder buttons fine, d-pad is much improved, ergonomics are just as comfy as my 360 controller, face buttons real nice, trackpad feels great to slide/push, share/options are OK - I need to get used to the placement. I find my muscle memory reaching for the old START button placement and hitting the trackpad regularly. it's not a bad thing - it's just muscle memory.
B- is my grade so far. Simply because I'm OCD and want my games in their own row A-Z, etc. Minor inconveniences of the UI, nothing more. Great purchase, IMO.
I should also say: RESOGUN
Holy balls.
