PlayStation 4 - General Discussion Thread

lol Think Infamous will be a hell of a lot easier to get than the ps4 was, so my guess is it won't be near as crazy. Game releases typically aren't, unless we're talking call of doody or grand theft auto

I agree. There's no chance this is a limited run. Hell, if you wait a year you can probably get a better version.

 
i think we will see good supply of systems when second son is released  with the special bundle they have plus normal systems im sure will be possible by then. Even now im starting to see ps4 here and there in the wild and online stores.

its not the system its the store. They need to do an over haul and start including Avatars/Themes ..etc pretty sad when PS3 PSN  is more functional. 

 
I just want notifications when my friends sign on/off. How could they leave that out?
Yea like how it'll pop up saying battery low etc, same thing should pop up with friends name signing on. Never really thought about that though.

The store recognizes you are plus, it just trys to sell it to you again, every time a new plus game drops it works like its supposed to for me, downloads for free.

 
Unfortunately the controller has the move built in so thats why it has the light and also what kills the battery so fast. *least that's what i heard...* So it would seem unlikely anything will change any time soon.

Yes but what timbo was saying (who is actually right for a change) is that there should be an option to turn the light off.

I agree but not sure how they would implement it in the current controller, might be an option on a later version though. Its not like you have to have the light on for all games. Other than acting as a flashlight of sorts, pretty useless and annoying more than anything.

 
I get all that and I couldn't agree more. Or even if not turn it off completely, just have an option to dullen it. My ps4 is in my bedroom and if I leave it plugged in to charge overnight, it's like sleeping with a night-light...

I never had a problem with the lightbar but I can see how others would. I do think Sony will give us the option to turn it off/dim it in the future though. That being said, I did purchase one of the decals for it cause I thought it looked cool haha. I got the Firefly logo from The Last of Us.

Someone posted a link awhile back but they didn't ship to the states I believe.

Did you get it yet? Please post your thoughts on it when you use it.

 
They need to give option to turn light off on controller I'm sure that thing hurts battery life tons.
Assuming the light source is one or a few LEDs, it wouldn't compromise battery life nearly as much as the rumble feature does. Searched a little but couldn't find this info.

As for those of you with the analog stick coating coming apart, first try contacting the retailer you purchased from for an exchange/credit, then if no luck, contact Sony. They are aware of this problem but are trying to pass it off as a cosmetic issue rather than a design flaw. Don't let them off the hook with that -- tell them it is impacting your enjoyment of the system and according to their warranty terms, they are bound to replace it for free.

Thanks for the link, I tried to buy those from that UK seller so I'm glad we found someone selling here! I bought the PS4 ones

How is that game? I am debating between that and ESO, but I really hate the pay to play model.
One you could go horribly wrong with (ESO) and the other have the time of your life. ;)

I'm glad PS4 will have mouse & keyboard support for FFXIV; I might try playing it on my TV at some point.

 
I am very interested in playing.  I played 11.  My problem is, I never can find people to play with.

Advantage to getting this for PS4 over PC?

 
Couch vs desk chair really.  PS4 looks to be just as good as PC at this point.

One advantage of PS4 is you can make VODs to share, which on PC would take a program like FRAPS.  Come to think of it, I might just use my PS4 for that purpose alone on hard boss fights to show off my mad skills. ;)

 
well hope its better then the one that came out this week  fuck first 4 hours of game is pretty much collecting quest REALLY square. square sure knows how to destroy a franchise that used to be great :/

If you want to play it on PS4 or Vita, then get it for PS4. It also may be graphically superior depending on your PC.

If you're curious, I think the PC version is $15 at Amazon and you get a free month.
 
I bought the PS3 CE on launch and still haven't played it, lol.

I was waiting until the Holidays so I knew I'd have enough time to play it so I could maximize the usage of that first free month, but then it was announced for PS4 so now I'm waiting until then. 

 
I'm thinking I am going to get it.  If there are other new players that want to join me, add me on PSN and let me know you're from Cag looking to play FF14.  BillyCuth is my PSN handle

 
What server are you joining Billy? I will probably be starting my Conjurer job soon so will be starting from Level 1 probably sometime this weekend or play another class so we can both party at level 1. I would assume this being the PS4 thread you want to start on PS4 in which case the beta for it is the 22nd i believe.

 
assuming that guy has never been on cag, if i was in his shoes, i would have just renewed it for a year - tops. my common sense would tell me that sony would catch on for any usual subscriptions.

now having been on this site and seeing the exploits that have been found, i wouldn't have even attempted to stack them in the first place. the xbox live mass banning was a giant clusterfuck of epic proportions here for the deal members. i wouldn't want to risk any sort of console ban from Sony. On the brightside, it's better Sony realize this now and fix that then let the glitch go by for years unnoticed.

the guy makes me laugh. he ends up shooting himself in the foot by exploiting it so hard. i wouldn't be surprised if Sony does something to his account. he reminds me of the cags that try to go in stores and tell the gamestop manager that he's trying to flip XYZ for $ABC before he scans the games.

PS4 has outsold Xbox One 2:1 last month.
Whoa, was not expecting that big a gap. I knew the Xbone stalled in Jan but didn't think it would be that bad. Sony is set up to dominate this gen if MS does not drop the Kinect and price. Maybe they can offer some sort of ambassador games ala Nintendo for early adopters if they do.

I'm not at all surprised. Sony has been doing a good job restocking but they haven't been able to keep inventory. Even a couple of weeks ago when most websites got stock, it only took a few days or a week or so and every one of them was sold out again. Meanwhile the XbOne was in stock everywhere all the time. NPD watches sell-through numbers so the adoption rate is way off.

There will be a 399.99 Xbox One later this year - definitely in time for Black Friday and possibly announced as early as E3.

It's okay though. MS will have the last laugh... they want those X1's to sit on shelves because if you haven't heard, Timbo will tell you, Titanfall is going to be a system seller ya'll

 
MS fanboys are already crying, "Just wait until next month when Titanfall drops!". Honestly though, I don't see that being enough of a push to even bring their numbers close enough to match Sony in March. What with Titanfall being on both PC & 360, and Second Son launching right alongside it I look forward to seeing more of the same.
