In the "Live from Playstation" section, if you own the game that you're watching, the option "Join" appears

Does the PS4 finish downloads when the system is off? I started to download DC Universe, but it said the download would take 3 hours. Since I'm going to bed, I shut the console down, but I'm not sure if it will continue download now or not.

I have to say this guys. I was all about next gen graphics and what not. On a whim I purchased Sound Shapes.
My god! It reminded me why I love gaming. The experience is top notch. The atmosphere, the platforming, the music!
I am a little sad that I didnt know this existed on ps3.
Definitely a game changer in my eyes!

Wonder if (/when) Sony will enable the embedded PS4 FM radio receiver.
I think all of them. You can check on the web store.

The Beck levels in Sound Shapes are so fantastic.
Gimme more demos, FIFA isn't enough. I have zero interest in that
Trine 2 has a demo!

Will PS+ auto-renew after the 1 month trial?
Not a fan of Bethesda games I take it.

How do you view leaderboards for games, specifically AC4.

So the UI remained intact through the crash... This is actually a good thing. Crashes are going to happen. Nothing worse than freezes that force you to hard reboot the machine, which is what would've happened on other consoles.

Live from Playstation is great and actually i tried it after reading about it on here.
Something about jumping in on different peoples games and jumping back out instantly is appealing. Ha Ha
Maybe it is just me but now instead of reading about games i can jump in see them play.
Good potential for FGC down the line. (FGC-I hate using that by the way)

Any headset works on PS4. The controller has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

Nice
Probably beaten already, but the Library is up too. Edit: Yup, by Live Free or Die.
A cool one too, it even has the 3D support in the demo so I was able to test that out!
I was just thinking this. Playing 2K is making me cry tears of joy!
The realism is Sports games has only just begun- goodness, I hope UFC/WWE/Tennis all get a huge step up. This looks amazingly rad!
The PS4 interface, well it really seems crappy to me. I get it is supposed to be simplistic but I just don't like it. It's like when I boot my PS4 up I expect to hear crickets. I have seen so many app crashes, weird things from stand by mode where I have to reboot the system, and then just plain mysteries how I am suppose to navigate this "simplistic" approach. It really just seems amateur compared to where MS is with the 360 UI. It's not intuitive.
The share button, I thought it would always record last xx time of gaming, then you hit the share button and it would save it. However when you hit the share button it is now recording. I either don't understand or the system expects you to know when to record, or you have to do this every time you start a game. A major selling point to me of having a share button is to quickly save the action from something you didn't expect, and have it to share.
Really, 8 years of planning and this is what they went with?
Maybe you have to be friends with the one streaming to join? Dunno, the option apparead to me and didn't give any second though, i guessed that was for every stream.
Haha I has that same projector on 120".... couldn't fit anything bigger the room lol
Btw it does look amazing.
Well Sony can't plan for "user error". The system always records the last 15 mins. When you press the share button it save the last 15mins and takes a screenshot by default. In the share settings you can make it do different things than that.
What's New and LiveArea are back online. But LiveArea doesn't pull out correct data. For example, under my KillZone disc version it shows no related items found but apparently there are several DLCs in the store.
Also, is there a way to like a disc based game? It seems I can only like purchased digital games in the store.

That's why I said "either I don't understand"... I also looked under options, it changes what the button does if you hit it once, twice, or hold it. Doesn't really explain if it records all the time however. Then why when you try to use the share button it shows a now recording icon?

HOLY CRAP. I hadn't thought about that! I can imagine how many top players are going to get bombarded with challenges by random scrubs, just to body them easily, all while broadcasting it. The Kappas and the Kreygasms will be GLORIOUS.
On that note, I'm upset the twitch icons don't appear in the chat. I need me some FrankerZ.
When you hit the button it saves the last xxmin up to 15 min. Then starts a new recording.
Ps4 is always recording, it has hardware that does this "free." It how they can broadcast or remote play without devs doing anything, it just works.
Well, it's been a fun launch weekend, hasn't it? All this below is coming from someone who played the 360 99% of the time and the PS3 for the 1% of the time when an exclusive title really forced me to pick up the DS3 (Last of Us, Heavy Rain, etc.).
I was pretty excited to get my hands on the PS4. From the first day possible, I had preorders in on the PS4 and the XB1, always knowing that I'd eventually have both anyway. Well, obviously Microsoft made tons of poor PR moves after the big unveilings, and at E3 2013 I was far more excited about the stuff I played and saw for the PS4 than the XB1. So from around that point, I've been more hotly anticipating the PS4, which is surprising given my overwhelming preference for the 360 over the PS3.
At launch I got Killzone, Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed 4, Resogun, and Contract. Most of my PS4 time has been with Resogun so far, with Battlfield being next. I hated the Dual Shock 3 for FPS games and dual stick shooters. Heck, I hated it for everything, really. A weekend of time with the DS4, and I'm a convert. I like the controller a lot. I still wish that it didn't have symmetrical sticks, but at least it works well now.
Resogun is a great freebie, and I can't wait until more people on my friend's list upgrade to PS4 and start putting up scores for me to chase. It's this generation's Geometry Wars.
But aside from just enjoying what I have, the PS4 has me thinking that I probably don't need an XB1 right now. I think that I'm going to cancel my Day One Edition preorder and just go through the holidays with my PS4, Wii U, 3DS, and PC as my primary platforms. There's just nothing at launch that makes me interested in XB1 other than new hardware envy. Sony has won me over.
I hope that everybody is enjoying the launch, I certainly am far more than I anticipated. I never would have guessed this a year or two ago, but the PS4 very well could be my primary platform in the coming generation, and I've never gamed primarily on a Sony machine before.

I'm enjoying Warframe far more than I thought I would.
I may have said this before earlier in this thread but I honestly haven't had this much fun with a console launch since the Dreamcast. I almost spent this entire weekend gaming which is something I don't do very often these days. Kudos to you, Sony, for an incredible launch.

What is the interact option in live from play station supposed to do?
Epic Games celebrated PS4 launch by listing PS4 Unreal Engine games.

Must be a future option. I was watching ustream live stream and they said you will be able to vote on polls and Sony said you will be able to help people out by giving health or a power up.

Awesome impressions and Welcome!
Maybe if you can find one ahead of time you can throw it on layaway if the store supports it. I know that Walmart does.

Anyone know of a PS4 Remote solution for Blue Ray?
I tried the crappy one that requires USB, and the reception is so bad that I returned it.
Can the android app be used as a remote? The PS3 one doesn't work, haven't tried the plug in Nyko PS3 one yet, but I assume it wouldn't work.

Yep. Keyboard too.
Sounds like a great feature. Could be one step closer to something I want to see for egotistical reasons, searching for other streams that you appear in. For example you search your name and find a video online of something that you played earlier which was recorded by your opponent at the time.
