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

Quick and easy fix might be to use the webstore to start the download to your ps4 (make sure your ps4 is activated as your primary ps4)

The same thing is happening for me with the Trine 2 demo from the SEN website. I can see it in my Library, but trying to start the download just dumps me back to the home screen. Pretty sure it's just another symptom of PSN being a mess right now.

Thanks for the replies. Trying the download from the webstore now, and good to hear it's probably only a PSN issue. I figure by next weekend the issues should be ironed out.
 
Did PS+ games always have expiration dates & times listed on PS3? Noticed on PS4 that your PS+ expiration date and time is listed when you hit Options button on any PS+ game. Much easier than drilling down in menus.

Can anybody tell me how to turn off the psn plus auto renewal? I looked it up online but can't find the account settings option in settings. Do I do it through the website or my ps4?

On your PS4 it's under Settings>PSN> Account Info>Service List. Select PS+ and there's a big button to disable auto renewal at the bottom.
 
Notification when a friend comes online makes sense, it's the PSN notification for when a friend goes offline that always seemed stupid and irritating to me.

I'm thinking they did that on purpose. If you had 2000 friends on your list, you'd constantly be seeing people singing on and off.

I doubt they expect everyone to have 2,000 friends. I really think it's just temporary or PSN related.

So I checked out the Trine 2 demo today and to my surprise i saw that it was 3D capable. I decided to check it out. FWIW it was easily the best 3D i've played on any console to date, even better than Super Stardust HD.

Wasn't this already acknowledged and resolved by Yoshida? (Or someone from Sony at least

EDIT: Nvm, you're right

I thought it was, but apparently it was a mistake by the PR, which really pisses me off.

The announcement they initially made even recognized that Sony was aware many are now over 18 and stuck with sub accounts.

Wish we could get some kind of petition going for this at least for PS4 users.

Will have to check it out.
 
Coming from 360 and I have a couple of questions. I like to know when friends come online. Tell me there is an option to be notified of this? At the same time I liked to hide offline from time to time but I'm not seeing an option.
Does that exist?
 
The console comes with a mic. Why are people still not using them?

Also. Warframe looks good and all. But the nav system is horrible.. Vague objectives, and lot's of people running around not knowing what to do.
Sounds like Warframe alright. :) That's how it's like on the PC, the game tried to do something different for it's style right down to the user interface. It works well, just takes getting used to (my experience with the PC version).

2000 friend limit, do you really want that notification?

I know, right?

I hate notifications. I just do. I don't like things popping up on my screen that's not related to the game I'm playing.

I usually turn off all notifications. I haven't messed around with my PS4 settings yet, but when I finally get the time to sit down and mess with the system, all that shit is going off. Unless I'm going to play with my friends in a game, I don't really care what they're doing, or when they sign on, or when the last time they signed on was, I'm not that stalkerish/OCD.

Chances are, if we're going to play a game together, it's because we've scheduled a time to do so. I don't have much time for at home gaming these days, so I mostly stick to single player stuff anyway.

I've enjoyed my PS4 thus far but after a few days, it's really apparent how anemic the launch lineup is but hey, that's pretty much par for the course. I know there are people out there who couldn't be happier but I'm personally finding nothing particularly noteworthy. I always knew this purchase was going to be an investment though. I hope 2014 really delivers some awesome experiences.

I'm getting an error when I try to play Blacklight Retribution. It says only the person with a user license can play it, and it has a lock next to it. Any idea how I can fix it?

Is there a way to make audio that comes out of the controller go through your primary speakers instead? For example the audio diaries you find in KZ

Good feature but when playing Killzone late at night, it could be a problem for people living in my house :p I am a considerate person!

I tried turning the volume on it OFF in PS4 system and it mutes it, doesn't route it through the headphones. Can't find a setting inside KZ itself unless i am missing it.
 
I see the option to turn off trophy notifications, but I don't know where to go to turn off the one that tells everyone every time I play a game.

Go under PSN and there's an option for Application Integration or something of the like. You can make the changes there.

This is going to be a silly question, but would standing my PS4 up vertically get a stronger signal like it did for the PS3? My downloads are so slow, the PS4 is telling me to download CoD: Ghosts would take 99+ hours.
 
I can't even look at the DualShock 3 any more, it makes me physically sick just to be in the same room as it. Well it's not quite that bad but you get the point.

Try this http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=90252539&postcount=10949 It's helped with my speeds.

It only say something like "You received a message"
On PS3 it had a popup that showed the message title(about a sentence long) and who it was from.

Ah ok. Yeah.

People are stalkers that like to be notified when friends are on?

I was being facetious.

Although, I do think wanting to know when people were last online, what they've been playing, etc, is a bit much, but maybe I'm just an old fogie. I personally don't care about being alerted to when that stuff happens, because I usually see who's online when I boot up the system and look at the friend tab in the XMB.

And again, if I was going to play with friends, it'd have already been set up by us before hand, because of our limited time and schedule. I hardly play online because of that, as it's hard to sync up schedules, and I'm not a big fan of playing with strangers. To be completely honest, I'm a 98% single player gamer, with an occasional match or two in an online game that may appeal to me.

I haven't played hardcore online since Warhawk and Killzone 2.

I think it's part that and part the fact that it's a brand new OS and there's only so much you can do on the first version. There was much more important stuff to do first. They can always easily add back new features as they go.

And for the 2000 friends problem, they could make a filter on the notification to only show your "Real Name" friends".

I was just playing Chapter 3 section 4 on Knack and my god is the framerate horrid. It usually runs fine but that part was chugging.

Was just joking about that earlier. I thought it was a nice controller but now I'm regretting not finishing my PS3 backlog.
 
downloaded what says FIFA 2014 Demo and it says I don't have the license for it. Whats the problem?
That's happened to me with every download (I've had to download everything on the iPhone app, since the store has been under "maintenance" for days). Just log out of the system and log back in. Should work just fine.

Yes,yes it is. It almost becomes like a popout book and it's amazing. A lot of games have sort of have one layer of depth but this game feel like it has multiple.
