The PS4 thread

[King Ellis]

Get a PSEye for when you stream! I will watch!

[Your Mom]

Not picking mine up until this afternoon. So jealous!

[apsham]

There's a ton available locally apparently. Just as I figured... stupid fucking presale madness.

[Baddar]

If you're not out lining up for your PS4, why not watch the launch event? Apparently it promises to have all sorts of juicy details of future games and what not.

EDIT: They start the PS4 hype by showing DLC for The Last Of Us.

And Uncharted for PS4 because DUH!

At least now I have a time in mind for picking up the PS4, however far away it may be - Uncharted 4 release week!

Watching some streams on Twitch. Really good that these consoles have Twitch built into them.

[King Ellis]

Yeah, hopefully over time they add more functionality to it like more ways to customise things etc etc. For now it's a good foundation and seems to work very well.

And having watch a little bit of Knack, I don't know quite why it's getting massively low scores. Granted, it looks fairly generic but nothing overly horrendous, just your bog standard third person brawler dealie.

Dez Bryant doing something awesome.

Does it use the eye for streaming as well? Interesting!

I wonder if I use my microphone if it will pick that up in the stream as well.

Yeah, that seems to be the problem they have with it, that it's a launch title and nothing special. Personally I think it could be kind of fun! Might pick it up when it turns up cheap further down the line. >_>

[Baddar]

So, can you live stream your games to other players using something that's already built in then?

I knew you could record a certain amount of gameplay, but this sounds like it could be fun.

[King Ellis]

Way to be up to date on the system you're planning on spending £350 on, Baddar.

And yeah, Ruki, if you have the new Eye you can put a little face cam in the top right corner, either over full screen footage or with a sort of black border covering two edges of the screen for chat and viewer/comment count. Otherwise, I imagine you can just do voice over with the mic you get in box.

[Your Mom]

I am way worried we are going to get one with a damaged HDMI port now I am sure I'm just being paranoid

[TKz]

Is there an example picture out there somewhere? I'm more worried about getting a perfectly fine one and fucking it up by thinking something totally normal is actually a hardware error. >_>

[Ruki]

You are. Mine worked just fine when I got it out of the box.

The only panic attack I had last night was when I was setting up my PSN account ,it was stuck in an endless loop of 'Please wait'....waited for 5 minutes before I turned it off and on again, and everything was fine. I assume it was because PSN was being overloaded.

Edit: I accidentally turned my PS4 on with my phone.

[Walker]

I have to wait till the 29th like a chump.

[Ruki]

Who wants to watch me be bad at Knack!? Just put the disk in. (No mic, this time)

[Dan]

Justin.tv?

At least use Twitch :/

[King Ellis]

Why are you streaming on Justin? I can't login to Justin with my Twitch account and I don't feel like making a new account.

Trust Ruki to fuck something as simple as this up.

[Ruki]

Not sure why that happened. Would I need to create a new twitch account?

[King Ellis]

You haven't even been on Twitch since it changed over? It should have changed your Justin account to a Twitch one. You were supposed to have been on to support Good Eddie, you were supposed to be his friend!

Typical, horrible Ruki.
