Your Mom Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 PS+ question for you guys. We'd rather not buy 2 subscriptions right now. Will we both still be able to play the free games on our accounts or do we need to play on the same one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Apparently PS4 controllers will be digital, not analogue, which to you and me basically means the face buttons now have two states, on and off, and don't register how long a button is held down for. They've done this because of "lack of developer support". But surely, this completely changes stuff like passing and shooting in football games, which relies on buttons being tapped or held, or am I missing something? Edit: Pretty sure now that I read it wrong somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I found, PS+ accounts are per console and not per account so you should be good with one sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Pretty sure now that I read it wrong somewhere. Sounds like someone's getting confused between being able to hold down a button, and varying degrees of being pressed (e.g. only half pressing shoot). I didn't even realise you could do this on PS3 which probably indicates its the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWB's Best Poster. Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 The only games to use face button sensitivity were metalgear solid and gran turismo. Both basically flag ships of Sony and that was it. No baddar, it means how mmuch you push the button in. For gt5 it meant gas, whatever. Give a little gas with a light push. Now it will only be the triggers on top that do this, meaning that really nothings changed except the cost is a little lower to make for that part. Given its still got analogue triggers and a touchpad, its not a huge savings to Sony. But hey, 10 cents times 100 million sales is a lot of cash (as an example)Also guacamelee is five star awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yeah, I was questioning my own thoughts on it from the start. It'd only be a step back if it was as I originally described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCO Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I had no idea that the face buttons on the PS3 controller could be half pressed like the triggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Was news to me too, hence my initial confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 So my brother is moaning and bitching to me that none of his PSN friends are showing on the list.. this happening to anybody else? A quick google search reveals nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Happened to me a week or so ago, and Baddarina over the weekend. A restart fixed it for both of us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 You plebians. I thought everyone knew that the face buttons had various levels of compression. I think I try and use it even in games that don't have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruki Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Most games don't have that? Oh....I always though pressing harder helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 It's a cool idea in theory - but a pain in the ass depending on what the action of mid press and full press would be. Not to mention that seems like something that could be broken on a controller without anyone realizing it and that would cause a whole other ton of problems.

Liam Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 For someone who never played them much, was Devil May Cry HD Collection any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 It is, but it's really weird to play games with prerendered backgrounds now. Very jarring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crybaby Bunting Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 What the hell, Sony? Can I listen to audio CDs using PS4? No, PS4 does not support audio CDs. Will users be able to connect an external hard drive to expand storage on PS4? No, this feature is not supported on PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Given the size I doubt I'd ever need to hook up an external, but I guess this makes it a bit harder to play pirated movies through my PS4. Guess I'll just have to use the exact same HDMI cable and go from my computer straight to my TV then. Darn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ellis Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I took the external hard drive thing to mean no installing game data on there. I'm not sure if you can even do that on PS3. But when you easily swap out in the internal hard drive, Sony is a lot less restrictive than MS. If you can't use a USB stick or whatever to watch video files then yeah, that'd suck. As would the music thing, especially when they're pushing their $60 a year subscription service instead but for both it's ultimately going to come down to personal preference. I don't use music too much on either 360 or PS3, it's a nice thing to have but it wouldn't be the end of the world not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
