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

Is there anything I can do to get Killzone shadowfall working? after a few minutes into the game I get disc is corrupted error

Thats the only game I got besides knack...
 
Grabbed AC4 at launch. What should I get now? NFS, Ghosts, or Lego Marvel? Maybe Killzone, I guess, but the reception has me cautious.

Regarding Killzone, people are generally finding the plot stupid, but playing through the campaign fairly enjoyable, though some have expressed displeasure at the latter half of the game. Almost everyone is loving the MP, though. Check out the Killzone OP or Multiplayer threads to hear a bunch of GAFfer opinions.

Secured what I hope to be a legit PS4 on craigslist for my brother. Selling it about $15 on top of at-cost + tax. Hoping it's more of a "he / she needs the actual cash and is willing to sell it at a fairly low price" and not someone looking to rip me off.

Apparently sealed with receipt. I guess I should open it when I get it with the seller standing right there, even if I see the Playstation tape still in-tact?

Best thing is to meet up at like a food court of the mall. Less chance of getting ripped off.

I would def open it.

Anyone know if Micro Center is/will sell PS4s?
Seems like a ton of places are holding stock for black friday. Might want to check the ps4 tracker websites. I have not seen a PS4 in the wild, ever. Around me it even hard to find games right now.

oh goodie, 2 days in a row without access to PSN because
A) my ps4 didn't auto-download the 1.51 update even though the settings are correct to do it and
B) it's estimated download time is 4 hours, but will probably error out constantly like it did last night.

going the route of using my pc to download and update on a usb stick: 5 hour download estimate. FUCK off next gen. can't wait to see if xbone is a clusterfuck like this or if MS will be able to maintain semblance of server stability

wow it only took me 30 sec

disappointed by the controller. I mean its great....but I play NHL the most on my console. Playing that on ps4 is going to suck....real bad and thats because of the tiny triggers

:(

Not sure what you mean, ive been playing NHL games since Blades of Steel and have never had an issue with a PS1/PS2/PS3 hockey game.

So... Need for Speed, Knack, NBA 2K14 or Battlefield 4?

My honest opinion here is this:

NFS is great, the MP aspect is very cool, open world, jump in/jump out, but its 30fps if that bothers you. Knack is good fun, probably not worth the $60 though. NBA2k14 is amazing, looks great, 1080p/60fps but very simulation, lots of controls to learn. BF4 is a shit SP campaign with some of the best MP around, but its bug ridden right now, lots of crashes or corrupt saves going around.

but on ps4 its going to suck, because of the tiny thumbsticks

They are quite fine for me, and I have no issues with NBA2k14 which uses the right stick in the same way NHL does.

This has something to do with AT&T, I think.
 
Quick question, maybe I'm missing something really simple. Every time I press the share button and look at the recently recorded video, it's not the last 15 minutes of gameplay. It looks like its more like 30 or 45 minutes ago. Is this normal?

No this is a bug. Along with auto update issue, these are main two issues right now.

So far, I'd rate my games like this! Pretty solid freaking launch!

Killzone: Shadow Fall - Solid campaign with great set-pieces, sometimes let down by muddled plot threads and some truly awful sections. MP seems solid but I only played with bots. 3.5/5

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - A complete apology from the terrible ACIII, it has a great protagonist and a gorgeous world that's a joy to explore. Best AC game since II by a wide margin 4.5/5

Need for Speed: Rivals - Gorgeous, fast and highly addictive. One of my favorite racing games in a loooooong time. It's as good as the current NFS formula will get. 4.0/5

Resogun: Haven't finished the 5 levels yet but what can I say? Insanely beautiful, and deep as the ocean. 4.5/5

oh but of course they would be behind it....so is there anything i can do about it?

Turn off the PS4 completely and then restart the download from the site. Sounds really dumb but someone else posted that it fixed it for them, and it fixed it for me as well.

killzone campaign is amazing for about 2/3rds of levels the rest have issues. But its worth playing and the best looking game. What I like is the single player is none of that on rails cod/bf4 bs.

also online is really great especially with GAF parties.

Guys, Does anyone remember when the US PsStore launched, before Official PS4 launch??

Trying to guess, as been only able to use the US Store on my US account from Tuesday..

Trying to gauge this against when the UK Store will likely launch?

Tiny thumb sticks? NHL will be fine on it. NBA 2k is fine so I can't see a problem. Infact, it will be better for NHL as the analog doesn't slip from the thumb like it used to. NHL felt good on the 360, felt good on PS3 and will feel good on PS4.

EDIT Done,

https://www.mediafire.com/?vy305s138583gnc

let me know if that works

it's set to private right now, but i really appreciate it.

i wonder what speeds are going to be like in general from PSN once i get back on it...i was able to download 70gbs worth of games on friday and saturday (granted the portion of battlefield 4 that was the multiplayer took 100x longer than it should of, but that seems like a widespread issue), it wasn't until this update hit that everything went to shit.

So I put my PS4 in Safe Mode and tried to download the update there to see if it would go faster, but nope. Ten minutes later and it is at 2%. Is there a way I can cancel this?

GAF, any recommendations for a blue tooth remote to use with PS4? I have the Sony PS3 remote and love it. Any good universals?

(I know the Sony PS3 remote can work with PS4, but since I still use the PS3 pairing can get jacked up between the two).
