[PS4] Official PlayStation 4 Thread

[jms493]

I think it's a fair point though. And how does this play out for all those gamers that people harp on MS about that don't have internet connections (or at least their console connected to the internet)? I guess they will have to seek out the patch? Personally, I don't care because this stuff rarely has any effect on me, but it just seems REALLY risky to do a day 1 patch, regardless of whether or not you make the stuff available beforehand. Hopefully it works out for them, or at least, doesn't go too horribly wrong.

I would think the majority of the idiots buying this at launch have an internet connection. AM I rite?

The whole online thing regarding the uproar earlier this year was the inability to play games without internet. Even without the patch the PS4 can play whatever game you put in it. Even download in the background while playing.

Have a connection yes. But maybe not their system connected.

I was being facetious more than anything, just because I find it humorous when online shit is bemoaned for MS, but to get the most out of their purchase, many people are going to have their system connected to the internet when they get home. But MS is the evil Empire, and Sony cares about consumers more than money.

Angry Birds Star Wars Activision​

Well, that helps explain why Angry Birds: Star Wars is $40.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

So no streaming videos or music from your PC via DLNA media servers, can't store and play music files outside of their service, and they backed off their claim that you could post videos directly to YouTube (only to Facebook). Pretty disappointed with that news.



Speaking of which, does anyone know why the fuck it's $40 on the PSN store? Who the hell would pay that much for a mobile game?

I havent followed news other than the occasional pop in to vsn or verge link.....every time I do...its never good news or something awesome. Its always some stupid decision or shortcoming being revealed. These consoles seem to suck all kinds of ass.

won't support external hd space

 

[KNUBB]

Seems people wanting 1TB won't be getting it this upcoming gen (for now). You can only add up to 160gb more and no support for external hd. I know some people added 1TB to PS3 later in it's run. I'm surprised since they are trying to get people to buy discless games.

You read that wrong. The drive has to be a MINIMUM of 160GB

yeah...edited my post.

Remote Play Details. I dont think this is anything new. Basically TRY this at home...everywhere else is a crapshoot.

While the way Sony has presented Remote Play might have made you think you can play your PS4 games anywhere, anytime on your PS Vita, yesterday's robust FAQ reveals that the range of the functionality is more limited than initially thought.
As outlined in the FAQ that we reported on yesterday, Remote Play, the functionality that enables users to stream their PS4 gameplay to their PS Vita via WiFi, "will work best when the PS Vita system is located within the same WiFi network where PS4 is connected." Furthermore, Sony recommends that the PS4 itself be connected to the local area network via an Ethernet cable, that a router suitable for gaming be used and that the PS Vita be within close proximity of the WiFi access point so that the connection is free of interference.
Obviously, those recommendations suggest that while you'll be able to free up the TV and play your PS4 games on the Vita within your own home, attempting to access your games while venturing outside is going to be a game of chance.
"Remote Play may or may not work over a wide area network," reads the FAQ. "For Remote Play to function over a wide area network, a robust and stable WiFi connection and broadband Internet connection is required, and the local area network where PS4 is connected must be configured to permit the PS Vita system to access PS4."
So, how does this info impact your impression of Remote Play's usefulness? Personally, I still feel I'd utilize the functionality when other family members want to watch the main TV or I just feel like playing PS4 games that support the feature (which will be most of them) in another room, but knowing that I can't utilize Remote Play via 3G (also confirmed in the FAQ) and am limited to my home slightly dampens my enthusiasm.
What about you? Are you excited to put Remote Play to use even with these restrictions? Let me know in the comments below.

I read that it doesn't play MP3, which sucks for me. I like to put custom music in NHL & MLB The Show, so hopefully they patch it in by the time I pick one up and buy next gen MLB The Show.

 

[tigstah]

no streaming from pc to ps4 either shit

 

[Primetime]

So basically if you download your movies/tv shows/music, you can't stream them through the PS4. Sucks.

MONEYHAT!

I can't imagine that will be the case for long. The hardware supports it, they will just have to make a firmware update to make it work (again).
