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

Markitron

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
There were no free PS Plus days in my box :( shame cos I really needed them. Does anyone know If I create a new account and sign up for the 14 day trial, will I be able to temporarily make the new account the master account, and play online with my normal account? Basically can you change the master account on the console back and forth between accounts?

Safety First!!!! :D
 
Guys help me, please. When i turning my PS4 on i hear one loud click, is this okay? And when PS logo appears i hear some quick sound in my Tv speakers, is this okay?


What do you mean by one loud click? There is an audible beep sound that the PS4 makes to indicate it's turning on. That's normal not sure if that's the click sound you mean

Not sure on your sound issue

Also in case anyone was curious were Shu was during the European launch :)

Jesus dude, I'm happy for you and all, but resize your images!!!!

Even on broadband it's just nearly killed my browser.

THINK McFly!
 
Okay. Got it. All works well, but i have a weird problem. It's not displaying in 1080p but in 1080i.
My panny is 1080p native. killzone Shadowfall is too. But 1080p is disabled in the options...

HOW? Anyone?

Since the 15th we have installed Reso/Contrast/Warframe + Flower/DC/Blacklight + KZ/NFS/Skylanders and I believe we still have around 280-290gb free.
That's not too bad! Think I'll still swap the drives though as the extra space will probably be useful in a few months' time.

You update via USB for the setup. You do need to have the right firmware version for the PS4, the one that is 900MB, the smaller size firmware does not work when you swap hdds.
Thanks, got the USB stick prepared with the PS4 firmware (the recovery version as you mentioned), just got to swap the drives and install it now once it gets here. PS3 firmware is downloaded too for installation later.
 
the one thing about the share feature for now is that people from sony are livestreaming the game. i'm sure they'll eventually stop in the future but now i'm enjoying the interaction.

Guess you need a creditcard to get 14 day ps+ trial :(. Im screwed... Does the EU version of Battlefield 4 include a code for ps+?

Is there any nice gaffer here who has a trial code thats useable for someone who isnt a new user? If not I bought bf4 For nothing cause if I cant play multi its useless.

Argh, now reconsidering swapping the 1TB in my PS3 into the PS4 again since I noticed 1TB SSHD drives are falling fast in price on Amazon (the first one I saw was £77, there may be cheaper ones), and they were noticeably faster in speed tests.

I might just wait and make do with the 500GB for now since I only have 4 games at the moment anyway, and then buy an SSHD in a few months.

Fucking hell, I'm stuck in the army this weekend like an idiot. I hope there's something left next weekend. These pictures and impressions really ruin my day even more.

Just installed AC4 :D However, when I go to information through the XMB, I can hear the PS4 making some noise before it shows the Space. Kinda weird :s

first time switching on the PS4 into safe mode there was no click.
When the PS4 reset itself to do the firmware update i heard an audible click. it's probably occurring near the socket where the power cord goes into. oh and it seems there is no power brick. it's just a cord
 
While waiting for the postman to come by I think I shall play some Resistance. The first PlayStation game I owned. :D


I did the same thing a couple of days back. Replayed the first few bits of the original Resistance. It was more fun than I expected (I expected it to have aged badly). I love some of the crazy weapons that Insomniac came up for this and the Ratchet series.

To those who have Shadow Fall…

A few basic 101 tips…

- Use your OWL a LOT. Especially it's shield ability.
- Shoot in bursts and generally switch weapons instead of reloading.
- Swap your pistol for one of the other Assault rifles or shotties whenever you can.
- Press up on the d-pad constantly for checkpoint marker viewings.
- Hold right on the d-pad for a few seconds to see through walls (but not too long that it gives you away).
- In the dark areas, swipe up for OWL fire mode, and just keep pressing L1 to order him around. Then hold L1 to bring him back. He will be your guiding torch light.
- Stealth is better than all out guns blazing.
- Listen carefully for tasks. Sometimes you'll be fighting waves and waves of enemies unless you heard the command telling you what to do next (e.g. get in the ship).
- Crouch to use the cover system where you can. It will auto cover behind low walls.

Picked mine up today (preordered in June).
The local store had insane amounts of PS4s behind the counter, definitely 200+, and that was just the ones behind the counter.

All of them were preordered. This is going to be a pretty insane launch for SONY.

Been playing Black flag and you can really notice the 1080p resolution, as soon as the game started and I was on the boat I'm thinking to myself "wow this image looks sharp"
