The PS4 thread

[Paton]

Going to purchase a PlayStation 4 today. What games do you recommend I pick up? (Excluding FIFA 15, Infamous Second Sun and Killzone: Shadowfall).

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

The Last of Us Remastered (If you didn't play the first one. If you did, get it anyway!)

Only other PS4 games I've had have been Infamous, FIFA 15 and Watch Dogs, which seems very hit and miss here.

[Paton]

Does SOM compare on PS4 to the PC version? If I've already got it on PC would I need it on PS4?

Okay so apparently shareplay only works if you're on fibre optic broadband. Would have been nice to have been told that in advance...

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I haven't played it PC so couldn't tell you, but if you've already got it then I doubt you'll get anything extra out of buying it again.

This logic doesn't apply to The Last of Us.

Get a camera too. For dancing purposes.

What?? Do I have that? What is that?

I'd imagine fibre optic (which is the fastest current available residential internet speed) is the "recommended" setting. That'll be if you want to constantly stream in 720p with as little input lag as possible.

Meanwhile, the service allows for up to 720p, so I would think they could allow most broadband customers to handle it. Say, 10mbps+.

There was a whole article based on the guy saying he wouldn't guarantee frame rates because of the different kinds on net each person has. I don't think it's just the one kind based on that alone. Do you have a link saying it's just the one?

We have had some people here use it. Can they confirm there is more than one? Or that they had fiber?

Evolve Alpha has been postponed for PS4 due to issues with the firmware update. Boooooo.

Sony has a lot of woes in the last week.

[Your Mom]

I actually forgot. I have been afraid to put the PS4 in standby because the first time I did it after the update it kinda just froze and I couldn't turn it back on. I had to unplug it which could have fucked it up. Did anyone else have this problem?

[apsham]

So not the best time for me to have picked up a PS4 then, eh?

Literally just happened to me now.

I've heard several reports of that very same thing happening after the recent update.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

There's a report if you get a blinking light just hold down for seven seconds, then seven more on reset. Then reinstall it. Should work.

It may NOT be the solut in you need but some of the few affected have had this work. Joystiq had this as a solution for their problem after someone tipped them off. Can't hurt to try.

I put mine into rest to download Evolve while I went to a showing of Ouija last night.

Ouija was shit, the PS4 got stuck in rest mode and Evolve was delayed! Terrible.

[probablyoliver]

Someone get me an evolve code and I will literally love you forever.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Did you get it out of rest mode?

Anyone know if there's animal hunting in Assassin's Creed Unity? I can't find anything about it but I'm not going to pre-order if I find out that there is.
