What is that 2nd check box on the remote play screen on VITA about connecting wifi? Should that be checked?

Remote play works better closer to the router than the PS4? I'm like 5 feet from the stupid PS4 and the remote play keeps disconnecting.

Haha i'm pretty sure that was me. Are you from the UK? Was it the last level (aka Mefitis)?

My connection is bad anyway but I was downloading and uploading shit at the same time. Was a bad idea but just wanted to have quick look what co-op is like.

From the US. I was going for a quick co-op as well to show off my new TV to someone. lol

Actually, if you're going to be further than I'd say about 15 feet from the ps4 you may have better luck connecting through your router than direct. I myself like to play in my bedroom so connecting direct was giving me issues with latency and disconnects, once i switched t use my router it was smooth as butter and lag free anywhere in my house

That is weird. I wonder if you got a bad wireless card. To be honest though I switched to ethernet back in the PS3 days and I can never go back because it's like 10x faster on PS3. I haven't actually tried the PS4 wireless though.

I love and hate reading this thread. It makes me really wish I kept my pre-order but the lack of games(for me) lead to me cancelling it.

I do have one on order again for early 2014 shipment, GF and family putting in money for it for my Birthday so I only end up having to put in $100 so I figured why not. At this stage it will just sit there until Infamous and or Driveclub comes out but maybe PS+ will will have something for me.

When you're streaming twitch is it possible to have just the chat open on your mobile phone somehow? I want to stream to friends full screen, and see what they're writing on my mobile.

Guys, is there a bug for the share feature on PS4? When I was playing Killzone, sometimes it automatically records the last 15 mins but sometimes it doesn't. And I have to double-press the share button (Easy Screenshots option) to manually record my gameplay instead.

It's kinda annoying and at times the preview picture of the clip shows a picture from the last 5 mins of my gameplay but when I watch the video it doesn't has that, instead it shows like 45 minutes ago of gameplay instead. Wth? :(

You can do that via the iOS Twitch app, I'm not sure if the Android app has that feature yet.

The unit is AWESOME. Says Made in China, super quiet (okay, disk drive is clearly audible, nothing worse than other Playstations however) and the controller has a "02" at the end of its number..

But holy crap, that launch pickup... worst experience EVER.
Click to expand...

It was the same for me, until the end of the day, when I could clearly hear the fan, and it was running pretty hot. I'm not sure whether I'm paranoid because of the noisy launch PS3, but I just worry if I've once again managed to get a noisy unit. :/

What happened at the launch pickup?

I just found out that the light bar on my controller throbbing like on disco lights when I do nothing on the main screen of Sound Shapes. It's basically rhythmically flashing in sync with the song on the main scrreen. Very amusing.

I turned off my PS4 after nearly 12 hours of continuous play! :-D

Now she is enjoying a well earned rest!

But I only played Resogun for like 10 minutes and it crashes the whole PS4.:/

At least when I turned it back in it let me report a problem to Sony upon boot up so that's cool.

I have a question:

I downloaded the FIFA 14 demo for PS4 from the store and when I want to start it the system tells me that I have no license and are not allowed to play. Is this working as intended (it's EA after all) or am I doing something wrong?
Click to expand...

go into settings there's an option somewhere to renew all licenses or something like that. select that and it should work.

How long do I have to wait until Singstar for ps4 is announced? This is getting ridiculous. It would have been a system seller if it was out at launch.

I have the same issue.

Also, when i try to trim recorded gameplay during killzone SF multiplayer, I get disconnected from the game.
