Yep, I hoped Amazon would sort it eventually as their service is normally excellent.

UFC to watch tomorrow followed by the Liverpool game, hoping this extended weekend continues to be great!

So I bought Killzone and AC4, and all I'm playing is Resogun. Should have seen that coming.

I just called to do just this and it was a super quick process.Pretty much no wait time and got the box and everything shipped out to me.

When I had a PSP replaced a few years ago they were great. So gutted though, I was loving my PS4. Going to have lost a lot of ACIV progress too and have to replay the awful Need for Speed tutorial.

I never noticed the weird shimmering-flickering effect until after I installed the 1080p/AA patch(USA). Its probably related to the AA they implemented in the patch. I played around with my tv settings but could never make it go away. Turning down the sharpness did seem to help.

just play the game and you'll probably just get used to it. That's what happened to me.

It's called pixel shimmering, and it's quite bad with Assassin's Creed 4 foliage, and even worse with the 1080p patch. You can get rid of (most of) it by cranking your TV sharpness all the way down.

Ahh, Pixel Shimmering.

Strange that I dont see it on my PC Monitor but I do on my TV though.

Seems its annoying other people as well!

My only other mild concern is in Need For Speed: Rivals, sometimes, blink and you miss it, you see a pink area in the mountain type background where I imagine a texture hasnt loaded in, but its a blink and you miss it deal.

The store and titles shown depend on which account you have the console activated as primary with. I'm currently playing War Thunder on my US account by having the throwaway UK account set as primary.

BLACKLIGHT: is there no OT for this game? It is fun as all hell to play.

Do you know if your saves were transferred to the cloud? If so, you won't have to do all of that again.

Your saves might be ok if they've been uploaded online.

I had a really weird problem earlier where my retail Knack didn't load past the start up picture. It was fine when I played it earlier in the day. I deleted the install, still didn't work. Deleted my save, still didn't work. Put Killzone disc in, booted straight away. Put Knack back in, still didn't work. Turned off PS4, retried Knack... Works again. Hmmm.

I can't get remote play working for some reason.

I'm in the same room as my PS4 and have everything enabled in the settings, yet my Vita keeps failing to connect and says 'The connection speed of the PS Vita system might be too slow.'

Anyone know what might be causing it?

Mine was doing that too, I had it work once then lost the connection whilst still in the same room.

I uploaded a video to facebook. I know my videos are set to not go public, but is there somewhere I can watch it? Can't seem to find it on my fb.

Direct connect or through your wireless network?

There might be too much chatter on the channels you're using.

I'm not entirely sure tbh. I have 'connect directly' checked on my PS4, so assumed it would default to a direct connection by itself? They don't seem to give you much in the way of options on either the Vita or PS4 ends.

So the share button is useless unless you have a Facebook account that's shit.

Ps does the ps app actually work for anybody it just keeps saying my password is wrong?

So how are the Whats new features on the PS4? Are they done in a way that might make you want to compete with friends in certain ways? Does anybody dislike the feature?

Afaik its not available for us EU players yet, temporarily down to help with the network. It wasn't turned on the last time I played 10 or so hours back.

Congrats to you Euro's for finally getting the PS4. Just a psa that I just found out about, you can launch your games via voice command just like on the XB1. Lol just launched NBA 2K14 doing that.

Okay I know this was known before but I was pretty blown away when I really could use my Vita as a second controller :eek: I only have one DS4 so far but when a friend showed up today we wanted to play the FIFA 14 demo together so I logged into my PS4 over remote play and started FIFA. He picked up the DS4 and set a new user up with his PS3 PSN, FIFA promptly showed the DS4 as Controller 1 while the Vita was Controller 2, absolutely amazing! :D

And a random question I have, the PS4 has most of its heat exhaust over the back right? Could someone with technical knowledge about the insides tell me if it would be harmful to place a Wii U ontop of my PS4 or vice-versa? I won't ever have both turned on at the same time... I ask because my TV cabinet is pretty full and I don't want to tuck away my Dreamcast so currently the PS4 is standing plainly on the floor :(

Is the EU version of Assassins Creed IV patched with 1080p yet? I'm not playing it until the patch is out. What to enjoy the best experience with it.

They don't need to be on to get in each others way. Heat rises and the WiiU will absorb heat from the PS4 and stop it escaping, driving up temps and causing the fan to work harder.

If you love your compact electronics like the Ps4, you don't stack them.

Have you got Marvel Lego?

You may not have press down on the D-pad in the menu.

You may not know you can press down on the D-pad on any game to get to the contextual menu.

When you press down on Marvel, you get the full version of Merry Marvel Marching Society from 1964. Cute. As. Hell.

I know what you mean. I am a big bf fan and only installed the game and played resogun since.

Just got the platinum trophie so perhaps I will play something new soon =P. Those leaderbords through...

Help me GAF.

Been playing PS4 at my house since it came out over my wifi with absolutely no problem. Great experience.

But, I'm in a new place now, and will be for quite some time, and the only option is to run my PS4 through and ethernet cord rather than wireless. This worked fine, great even, on my PS3. But on my PS4 I keep getting error CE-33987-0.

Anybody have any ideas what to do? When I do a connection test it says internet is connected but cannot sign into PSN. Help

Quick question! I've been on the PS3 lately and checked out my Download List through the PlayStation Store. Are PS4 games supposed to show up in the Download List on the PS3? I only ask because I didn't see Resogun (only thing I've downloaded on the PS4) but it definitely shows up through the web store fine.

Waiting for that update Sony, so I can see when my friends are online, you know a critical feature of online gaming with friends.


I'm still perplexed how they missed this or forgot to mention to us that it wouldn't be at launch. I mean, damn, it was on the PS3 and that console is 7 years old...

The "(insert username) is online" thing? I think it was removed on purpose.

And nope. Just weird that it worked on my PS3 fine, should there be any difference?

i thought it was school because a friend's college you had to call them to add ps4's mac adress to allow it work. but i think that was another error code all together.
