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

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.

Sorry about that try it again

Anyone's trophies/game updates not publishing to Facebook right now? It's not a biggie but I'd just like to know if it's screwy at the moment.

My son told me last night Playstation 4 is the best thing in the world and he is going to play with me for 100 years

serious daaaawwwww right here...

Was showing my daughter how to play AC-Black Flag yesterday (she's 3 1/2) and after running around and giggling at jumping over rooftops and finally getting used to the idea that R2 + forward makes you run and climb and jump and that there isn't a "jump" button she really started getting into it. Well after a while she manages to piss off some roof guards and drop down to the floor where she is quickly surrounded and attacked. I'm just watching for a minute while she gets frustrated trying to get away and when i realize
"fuck ...she's gonna die..." i tell her to just start mashing square. Sure enough she kills three people and books it! I give her props and she's laughing and the guards are chasing her and now the Lt. guys show up that you have to counter. I watch this fight turn sour just like the first and figuring that it probably will go right over her head and i'm about to get the sticks back i say "Baby you gotta hit the Circle button when you see those red dots over the bad guy's heads and then press square again ok?" ...

10 seconds later there are 11 dead bodies strewn about the street. I am cheering and clapping. My baby is laughing her ass off.
"I like this game daddy!! Can we drive the ship now??!!"

You're fucking a right we can, love.

The beginning of something beautiful.

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).

Wait the ps3 remote works with ps4???

Anyone else having this issues with updating in standby mode? I have both of the automatic downloading options checked off.

Yet my PS4 refuses to download any updates while my system is on standby. I turn on the PS4 from standby and immediately "Call of Duty: Ghosts" is added to my download list. It's annoying to have to wait 10 minutes for an 800mb update to download when my system has been on for over 15 hours in standby.

I can't seem to even get my PS4 to stay in standby. It keeps shutting itself off after being in standby for a little bit of time.

Sony has been so pro at capitalizing on their competitors failures this go around, I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop and them to revert to old ways lol

Does anyone know what the CPU clock speed actually is? I see lots of numbers thrown about but I'm wondering if we got confirmation. PCPER was claiming a 2.75GHz boost speed when no graphics are being used...but I am suspicious.

Does anybody know the attach rate for the PS4 cameras? It seems like all the people I know personally that have bought a PS4 bought a camera also. I wonder if the attach rate is high enough will developers support it?

click share! Perfect place....
 
God damn, I heard Resogun was good but never really 'felt' it. Then I got to play it. Holy crap, that thing is amazing. If you own a PS4 but don't own Resogun, GET IT. And remember, it's free with Plus.
 
So is there any way to just lower chat voices? My friends keep telling me they hear themselves echo through both the Vita headset and the awful shit thing Sony gave us free

BT remotes are not yet supported on the PS4, so you cannot use the PS3 remote. You can however use HDMI-CEC and the TV remote. Depending on your TV, the HDMI-CEC might be named differently (eg. Bravia Sync for Sony, etc). Polygon finally figured out they have been talking out their arse and made an article about this, see http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/21/5126628/ps4-remote-control-hdmi-cec-tv-sony-samsung-panasonic

Doesn't sound right, I have mine set to standby through the night without issues, make sure you have the standby options checked in the settings.

Thanks for that info. Guess I was misinformed and currently at work so couldn't test it myself.

Wait the ps3 remote works with ps4???
^

Also saw this dated for 1/31/14 release...so guess this patch isn't that far off...

Honest to god i thought about this about an hour later when I was playing and she was taking her nap and I damn near recreated the event myself to fake it but then i realized... i'll have (hopefully) a MILLION other chances to do this.

She's so hyped for a PS4 Little big Planet game it's not even funny. My facebook wall will bleed with her creations...

So fuck, I got this tropy sync NP-32157-8 error after playing Sound Shapes and after a Google search it seems it's some bug where in order to sync your trophies again you have to fucking delete your profile and start over. This deletes your saves and you don't get any trophies that didn't sync.

What the fuck Sony. Bad show...
 
I wish we could "follow" people over PSN sorta like twitter.

I doubt people like Shuhei Yosida will accept a random friend invite from me,
while others like Greg Miller have already filled their 2000 limit.
But I'd still like to see what they're doing, seeing when they're streaming a game, look at their trophies etc.
Can one-way interactions work?

I don't know if I should ask here or not, but I have a samsung smart tv with automotion plus and makes my ps4 games run really smooth. Is it a bad thing or not, I remember reading on here that people should have it off.

There's more

Hands-on with Diablo III on PS4, straight from Blizzcon '13. Runs at 1080p and includes the Reaper of Souls expansion. Import your PS3 characters and confront Death itself!

Fun fact: almost every launch PS4 game outputs at native 1080p resolution. If you've played PS4, can you see the difference?

Well anytime you just press the share button it saves up to the last 15 min and starts a new recording. So anytime she playing and you want to save it just hit share and it will save that part and she can keep playing. Then later you can edit and upload.
