The PS4 thread

[Slogger]

So today marks the 23 week (I've misplaced a week somewhere...) milestone of having my PS4 (dawwwww I know, right?) and despite not having much time on it due to a limited schedule I'll just go with some bullet points.

- Last of Us: while taking a little bit to get into is my clear most played so far but I swear I've said "Fucking Clickers" more times than I can count by this point

- Watch Dogs: Still trying to get into it, Not as good as the hype suggested, This may change however.

- Madden: Nice small touches but still a long way to go, Makes me long for NCAA on next gen... or at all really.

- WWE Network: .... It works, I guess.

- Graphics: Are as expected but very pretty

- Counting down the days to WWE 2k15 (Not really but wish it were here)

- Project CARS is on the radar but it's still a little bit off.

- Anything i've missed so far? YES ACE I WILL END UP GETTING UFC!

I'm glad you said that because I just can't get into Watch Dogs.

[Baddar]

Is the update live yet?

[DavidMarrio]

So I went a bit mad after payday last Friday and purchased the evil within and alien. Along with getting Shadow of Mordor I seem set for a while. So many games so little time. Need to book a day off work and just do nothing at all but play them.

Also I imagine the update will be around dinner time here. Hopefully doesn't take too long to download as i won't be able to get it until tomorrow evening.

[Baddar]

When does the whole "download only the parts you need" thing start? It's designed to save time, but I'm not sure if they've introduced it yet.

Aye the update has been out a few hours now.

Anyone ever had a problem with the disc tray not accepting discs and auto-ejecting anything that's in there?

Is that not already in? I put pretty much all of my disks in and just play in like a minute. It's one of the things I've loved about this generation, I've never actually noticed a wait time on installs.

I very well might be crazy, but I feel like things load up quite a bit faster with the 2.0 update. I was loading into Spelunky, FIFA, and Shadow of Mordor really, really quickly. And I very much appreciate how the library is organized now.

But on the negative side of things, I kept getting an error when I was trying to grab Outlast since it was only $5 for PS Plus members, but the store just kept giving me an error. And there was just other random shit that would get errors—I can't remember specifics off-hand, but I hope that's fixed.

There does seem to be a myriad of small errors, hopefully fixed soon. Apparently not many players affected but theres enough that I would expect a second patch within a few days.

[Baddar]

As mentioned in the FIFA thread, PSN kicked me yesterday evening and I couldn't sign back in. Loaded FIFA up to play, and didn't even realise I wasn't signed in until it told me. Tried about an hour later, and still couldn't. Not sure if they're still having problems.

[9 to 5]

I had problems getting into PSN until about 9pm and then it was fine and me and my mate tried Share Play and man, that thing runs like a dream.

[probablyoliver]

So what is share play? I'm totally confused by it.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Basically you invite a friend to "share" your game, playing where you leave off. He can play for one hour per invite, and it's 30fps with 720p max.

Allows people to try a game out, or beat a boss or stage you can't

[Baddar]

Once they play for an hour, can you invite them back in, or does it have limits?

[Ruki]

You can invite them back.

[DavidMarrio]

See I thought about Shareplay it's great from a gamers point of view but from a business point if view its a bit weak in terms of unlimited shares for a game. I could in theory play a full game via multiple one hour invites without ever buying it. I wouldn't get trophies but that doesn't bother me anyway.

[Baddar]

But then, you could do the same before if someone gave you the physical game itself to play until you were done with it. This is just more widespread.

I don't see why it's limited to an hour though if you can keep inviting people back.

I mean you can, but I doubt most would go to that level.

You'll need a friend who for whatever reason can't just lend you the game, who's willing to allow your shareplay every hour on the hour, who's okay with you taking up their time gaming.

Not to mention you'll be playing 720p, 30fps, with a connection reliant on both's internet. Good luck playing Call of Duty online that way!

And it's limited to an hour because the added annoyance makes sure people won't just go out and leave the PS4 on.

Tried using the YouTube upload feature. Fail.
