Hm I can't even download the 1.51 update, because it kicks me out of the download due to a timeout. Normally I would download 323 mb in a minute or so.

Lego Marvel for PS4, yay or nay? Looking for something that has local multiplayer that I can play with a friend at Christmas.

If you've played a Lego game recently then you know what you're in for but your mileage may vary. The Marvel references are great but the gameplay is fairly simple yet still fun.

Jesus Killzone looks so good, I can't believe it. I'm only just past the intro sections but holy fuck.

IS it normal that I cant:

Log in to my account ( says incorrect password)

Change my password at all ( says incorrect information)

Just seems to not recognise me at all, despite me being online on PSN like less than 24 hours ago... ( and I used the same password then too and it worked)

Some passwords were reset a few days ago, mine included. Maybe it is still ongoing. Try resetting it, it asks the date of birth (I wasn't able to remember my randomly entered DOB).

Quoting for new page.
I'm just trying to access my US account to download my Amazon US bought games. Will let you know how it goes, unless you specifically wanted to know about buying from the US PSN Store.

Edit: As an update to this, I just downloaded and installed my copy of the lego marvel game, swapped over to my EU account and launched it without issues.

I am actually really impressed with Twitch.tv - not performing streams, but watching non PS streams via the internet browser.

Watching Dreamhack and it's pretty good! Not the best quality but every watchable.

Yay! PSN is finally working for me, Resogun ahoy!

Putting Contrast, War Thunder and Warframe in the download list.


I thought Flower was a cross buy game? Showing as having to buy, even though I bought it on PS3 (physical copy)?

Physical copies are never eligible for cross buy.

Ive got it :) amazing machine! Have a few questions.

1. Why do I need to asign a controller to a user? What is this?
2. Why is Warframe not free in the EU?

Let's say I am on my secondary Ps4 console not my primary. Can I purchase digital games on the secondary and will I then be able to just download it whenever I'm ready on my primary console?

What I am trying to ask is, if I purchase games on the secondary will it mark it as the primary console?

I'll ask again since I think it was buried during launch.
 
I'm super happy with my PS4 and am glad I chose it over the XBone as my primary console this generation. I got Killzone and Battlefield 4. BF4 is great and KZ is really good itself. I have AC4 rented form GameFly, it's awesome, and I should get Need for Speed Rivals next. But then what games are there to play? Knack is supposed to be kinda dumb, the PSN & F2P games are OK, but I want a new proper game. The only thing I see in the near future is Theif in February and inFamous Second Son in April. When will we get some more games? Or can someone think of and recommend a game I may not be thinking about?

Picked up the players bundle with 2 x DS, Killzone and camera, and got BF4 and NBA 2k14 with it.

Even though PSN is limited atm my first experiences with the system have been great.

Love the slick and minimal UI, Killzone looks phenomenal and has been fun the first 3 chapters I played so far, NBA looks great as well and I still suck at it, and BF has never looked and perform this good on consoles.

Hope the redeem code option gets back soon so I can get Resogun and looking forward to seeing War Thunder.

Nextgen is here wooooooooooo

Look at all the games that have been released. If nothing there catches your fancy, then there will be a dry spell for a bit. Like you said, Infamous/Thief are the next big two.


I am very interested in the indie stuff though.

was there anything in the mega bundle box or camera box to hold down the camera? due to the wire for it not being centered it keeps moving :/


There's a small double sided sticky pad

Before I realised you could twist the camera I balanced it on a blu ray case as the tv mini stand isn't flat

It's only cross buy if you bought a digital copy, so they can verify you bought it. Sorry man.

Physical copies are never eligible for cross buy.

Awww man, that will teach me to value things. :(

Damn, that means I will have to double dip for Journey when that gets made. Flower I can live without. Well Journey too, but is it really living at that point.

Same here. Resogun is much more fun than I imagined. Good stuff.

Yeah, addictive as anything I have played. The only problem I am having with it is that I suck. Seriously I do decent enough to get to the second level boss and I die every time. I just cannae do it! Although I have been up since 4am so maybe rest will help.

Played some War Plane game thingy and its decent but a little last gen looking even though its a PC game.

Moving onto Warframe which I played on PC for a bit and had some fun, even though I find directionless games... directionless.
 
So I bought a PS+ code from Amazon, however it doesn't seem to work on the Playstation Store. It just boots me back to the homescreen without notification of anything happening. I then tried it on the PS3's store and I just get 'error message' occured. Has it happened to anyone else, and how to get around it?

Out of curiosity, I'd be interested to know whether people's PS4s get relatively hot during long play sessions, or when the game is on hold and you're in the UI for a long period of time? I've got mine in a pretty well ventilated area, but there's only about 10cm of space in the back of the system, which is the minimum amount mentioned in the guide. I dunno whether it has something to do with it getting hot, that the shelf is made of metal, which of course is a good conduit for heat. No problems with the system though, just wondering.
