God's had his chance.
that's awesome. you should have saved and share it. my son is turning 4 on thanks giving day. Feels great. What a precious age
It's ridiculous how easily she makes a day better - even when she's doin slightly annoying little kid stuff. I've been trying to get her used to using a controller but her little hands can't quite pull it off so she runs off to the left a lot. She finally learned how to kind of rest/brace the controller on her leg and then play like that while she was learning how to free run in Assassin's Creed and you could just see the light bulb in her head go off.
I absolutely never expected her to manage the fighting and counter system so well. The more she gets into gaming the more hilarious stories I end up walking away with.
She went with me to the GTA5 midnight release (mom was out of town) and had a blast running around outside well past her bedtime. Got the game home and started installing and she was fading fast on the couch behind me asking every couple of minutes "Is this your new game daddy?" ... asking if the scrolling pictures while it installed/loaded was seriously what I stayed up late for.
At around 1:00 everything was done and I loaded the game up and started playing. Just before passing out she says "You're new game is beautiful, daddy. I'm really happy for you that you got it...." and zonked. <3
As per the sharing - sounds like it might store recorded footage for a few days? - im going to go check tonight and if it's there I'll get it uploaded and throw up a link. She dies on the way to the ship but it's still boss as fuck.
Yah i know all about actually holding on to the video you save when you hit the share button. I was just curious how far back the recording goes constantly - people saying there is video from multiple days ago gives me hope it might still be there somewhere for me to grab and edit just to save it for prosperity. Does shutting the PS4 completely off compared to just putting it into standby make a difference? It was Tuesday afternoon this happened... if I'm actually able to go back and find that gameplay and save it then... well fuck. The whole sharing thing is FAR more robust than i initially gave it credit for.
I love chewing the scenery. It's really my only motivation at this point to finish the game.

Mine as well. The story is not well paced, but for all that's holy, it's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.
When I first set the console up, I entered letter A as my 1st name and letter B as my last name. Thought I was being clever, and that when I choose on the next step to just use my PSN ID for displaying, I'd never see that A B again.
Right now, every single thing I do on the console shows up in my activity as A B has done this or that. I've even changed that A B to be something more meaningful now (my PSN handle + shortened handle) but it STILL keeps showing A B everywhere even for new recent activity while it uses that new changed name for other things in the UI.
What can I do to get rid of this A B crap?
oh god, i think i did something like that, and now all I'm seeing is the wrong last name i entered in the beginning when you setup the PS4, Did you find any solution to this? it's really damn annoying, i fixed the last name in the account setting and it's still show the wrong name in What's New section & recent activity section... i even deleted the user name and wiped out all the data but nothing is fixed because when i signed again the wrong last name showed in What's new & recent activity...i lost all the games i downloaded from the store and i have to re download them again, i did upload my saves before thought
i think it's Database issue

God's had his chance.
Beyond the graphics making my brain bleed... i'm genuinely having fun with the gunplay and such in the game. The only gun with ridiculous levels of kick control is the rail gun (makes sense) and all the helghast weapons feel nice and powerful. And good fuckin lord does the DS4 feel leagues better for a FPS...
I'm very interested in getting my hands on something like say the next Mirrors Edge.. gonna be a panty dropper for sure.
It will save a video forever as long as you press the share button. When you press that button it saves the last 15 mins.
It doesnt matter what way you shut it down long as you at least press the share button to save that video.

yah i know. I'm asking without actually hitting the share button... how far back does the video save? Since i definitely did not hit the share button is it safe to assume that the gameplay from 24 hours + is gone? I would normally assume "of course"... but some people here have given me hope that perhaps the PS4 is saving much more than JUST the last 15 minutes of you playing on the machine.
If i'm completely wrong and it works as I initially expected (like - anything that is 15 minutes and 1 second old or more is gone forever) then - as i said - bummer but no big deal. She freaking LOVES the boat and cannot wrap her mind around the fact that we don't find running on peoples roofs facking hilarious. There will definitely be more footage

Sorry, but it's just the 15 minutes, I promise. :-(

People are just saying it save that 15 min click for forever. Like you dont have to edit the clip right then.
its a cool feature when you are gaming online and just want to quickly save something and keep going.
Or like your daughter can keep playing and you can quickly save the video for later.
Target and Amazon are thanking you

It means call Sony.
Well what are you doing? in killzone it means low health.
I'm playing NFS. Whenever I go to the home, the led switches to blue and vice versa.

It can mean different things depending on what game your playing.
Also, I believe it's the colour for the second player.

Its blue if you're a cop, red if you're playing as a racer.

I would definitely get the console replaced. Blu-Ray discs aren't even easy to scratch.
Yep all my games are getting scratched. The unit is horizontal position, and I haven't moved it since I put it down after I got home from launch day.
I wouldnt keep putting games in it! lol
I'm not and I plan on getting replacements for all the games I got for it. This really sucks as now I have to wait for the Walmart I got it from to get more in stock before I can get it replaced. And I think it is only a 14 day return/exchange policy.

My two games from playasia came - one week early, so they'll just be sitting on my shelf for now.
I also received a 7day trial of playstation plus. If anyone wants it just pm me.

What do I need to format my USB drive as for the PS4 to recognize it? FAT32? NTFS?
Ah, okay. Thanks
Well, that's what I thought! Good thing it's part of the game and not my ps4 being doomed.

I was one of the lucky few yesterday who kept refreshing PS4 stock websites until Best Buy had it in stock. Bought it straight away and I must've been one of the last few since it went out of stock after I was done. It shipped today but Best Buy speed is 1 to 2 weeks. Good grief. Can't wait.
FAT32 is what you want.
Call sony. I get it shipped back

Thanks! Finally getting updated to 1.51. There are serious issues between the PSN servers and AT&T right now, downloads are taking hours.

Congratulations man! How long was the wait for the replacement if I mind ask?
how did you manage to get it?! i'm still getting failed update after failed update on ps4 and pc downloads just stop after 30-40mb :/

I was able to finish a download on my Mac after a couple hours. Was able to install it on my PS4 in a few minutes via my external HDD.
I didn't use a mirror either, just the official link provided by Sony.
