Dedicated today to Knack + Contrast. Honestly, I'm starting to love Knack. Really enjoy the story, and the overall feel of the game. I really really wish, they would have made it so you could get big with Knack based on your performance though, and not just by progressing the level. I think this game would be much better if you got parts to become big more quickly, but if you get hit then you shed your pieces.
The way its set up now, you basically stay the size the developers want you to, and Knack only gets big when the level calls for you to big (or when they let you be big). That to me is disappointing. That small little fix would have made the game a lot better for me.

Sorry if this has already been asked:
Do you guys think it's safe for me to leave my PS4 in standby in a closed cabinet? Does it give off much heat? (Obviously, when I'm actually using it, the cabinet door stays open.)

If it were me I would not. if the back of the cabinet is open, maaaaybe. But I noticed those fans kicked into high gear when I was playing Killzone. When playing Knack or ACIV the fans were less noticable. In all cases though, the system does blow warm air so it would fill that cabinet up pretty fast. I wouldn't risk having it overheat for long periods as it could result in a red line of death down the road

I keep hearing there is a separate friends list for Real Friends... where is it? I haven't seen that at all.
At least have it so you can set it to REAL FRIENDS to display when they sign on, I'd like that.
And also it is a bit annoying when you go to your friends profile and Message them it doesn't open up your existing chat.

Yea, that's a really weird choice not to have it displayed.

I have Twitch set up for private strraming - does the integrated streaming from the PS4 respect that or is it public no matter what?
Only want to stream to friends, especially with the ui using my name everywhere.

wow that's news to me, Trine 2 being first (?) PS4 3D enabled game

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
It's annoying but I'm just glad it isn't our PS4s!
I'm surprised at the lack of demos. Trine and FIFA are they only 2 right? I know the NBA Live demo got pushed back to the 19th but other than that I haven't heard of any others coming. I really want a 2k14 demo. I already have 2 games (Knack and NFS:R) with BF4 coming with my PS4 tomorrow, plus Resogun, Playroom and Contrast and I'm buying Flower so maybe I'm just being greedy?

Lack of playable demos... arrgghh... what universe would I purposely download a FIFA 14 demo?!

Am I missing something or is there no way to set up the feature from the PS3 where it turns on the PS4, downloads updates for games, synchs trophies, and shuts itself back off?
Also, where's purchase history? Why can't I re-download old avatars that I bought? And more importantly, why aren't there avatars on the store?

That really sucks since I used to put a lot of stuff into my PS3 via pen drive.
Does that mean that we won't be able to put images, videos, etc on the PS4? What's the library area for then?

I'm thinking about just quitting my PS3 cold turkey and skipping on all the exclusives I missed last gen. It seems redundant to have a PS3 and a PS4 hooked up at the same time. Having a PS4 I really can't see powering on my PS3 anytime soon. The rest of my gaming time is dedicated to PC gaming.
B*^( goodbye PS3, I hardly knew ye.
(gonna see if I can trade it in to Besybuy or sell it on Craigslist for some more PS4 goodies.)

I will never use Music Unlimited so here's my 30-day trial code for anyone who wants it:

What on PS3 have you missed?

I was down to one bar from full at about 6 hours. So, I'd guess 7-8?

when you leave it in standby mode it does all that for you. no need for it to turn on.
The purchase history isn't there...as far as i can see.
I'd like to know how do i get my saved vita file for sound shapes to the ps4 so i can continue my game from there.??

Does anyone with a ps4 know if you are able to "appear offline"
I know this was a feature requested a lot for a while now.
And no, I'm not talking about setting status to 'not available'

It's definitely not doing it automatically for me. I have to manually upload my saves to the cloud and synch my trophies.
So far there's been no audio for BF4, but everything else works fine.

What would you guys consider "normal" fan noise on a Ps4?
I hear a lot of people saying their ps4s are "Silent", which has me a tad worried. Mine is quiet and mostly inaudible when playing a game, but I can certainly hear it if I try. It has a definite hum from the fans.
It is certainly quiter than my fat (2009ish) Ps3.
I know I am probably worried for nothing given that it isn't overheating or anything, but the reports of issues have me on high alert.

I can hear mine every now and then, but it's completely quiet for 90% of the time.

Does anyone use Music Unlimited?
I love being able to listen to my playlists while playing Resogun and Need for Speed: Rivals -- however every song that plays will stop and start (to buffer?) a bunch of times during the song. Super frustrating
I know it isn't my connection. Does this happen to anyone else? I've just been assuming it has something to do with PSN's spottiness, but I'm curious if it's just me.

Auto save uploads didn't work the first night of standby. But they did the 2nd night.
I hear my ps4 pretty clearly after the first hour or so.
About the same as my slim ps3.

Same. Very noisy when I installed Assasins Creed, but, today, very quiet or the most part.
Just a testament to the system's POWERRR:
My step-dad is a Vietnam vet. He's one of the ones that is not super proud about having served and refuses to talk about it. He asked to see my new "game" and I said what do you want to see. He couldn't decide so I showed him flower. He's 66, figured he'd be into the relaxing nature of it or something. Anyway he said he thought it was for women. So I showed him my games and he picked Battlefield. I was like...are you sure? And he's like yeah how bad could it be.
Anyway like 25 seconds after starting a level he left the room saying he was having a flashback and had to leave. lol.

The PS4, by default, automatically downloads updates and installs them. If you have the system in Standby, it will wake up, do the download and the install and go back to Standby.

I'd like to know this too. Is Sony just going to wait until the EU launch to occur before they turn this on?

So if you mute your speakers, you can't hear anything at all coming from the console? Or do you mean with the game going you can't hear it?
Lol holy shit.

I haven't had that problem. Once it starts the stream it plays perfectly. However, the bug I'm coming across keeps stopping song playback randomly after a song ends while gaming. I have to reboot MU and restart the stream numerous times while playing. Sometimes it works fine, most of the time it doesn't.

Yup, I've heard a few podcasts stating that some vets where having a hard time playing Battlefield because of how real it sounds.

What happened to DiveKick becoming a launch title?
PS4 definitely isn't silent. Anyone with a silent PS4 is headed for disaster because their fans are broken. But it's also not a loud fan. The game that pushes my PS4 the hardest is Killzone, and even then the noise isn't obtrusive at all. The drive is louder than the fans, and I'd compare its noise to that of the drive in the cheap Super slim PS3. Oddly enough the noise the drive makes when its installing games doesnt bother me. It's those little squeaks it makes when it's still spinning prior to turning off completely that annoys me.

Ironically, Flower probably would have been perfect for him.

I don't hear mine at all, I've played it for about 20 hours so far. I also sit 5 feet away from it. The only thing I ever hear is when a disc spins up for a sec and thats it.

I'm either on everyone's ignore list or I'm asking dumb questions. Can you hide offline like on 360?
meanspartan

Yes ok this makes me feel better. Mine is loudest on Killzone as well, and my drive when installing is a tad louder overall than my fan noise. Thanks!
So your dad showed you twitch before you could show him.
