They'll do fine until Infamous:Second Son Or Destiny,Thank you for the info!

 

[Soapy]

Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade is also coming to PS4, but it's going to be a while.

 

[Benstamania]

Seriously!?

Woooooo!

So, I've purchases a 15ft usb 2.0 charge cable for my DS4 controller. But, I'm going to have to return it because it won't charge if the cable moves at all, like when I'm paying a game or something.

Looking through other longer than the out-of-box cable the PS4 brought, alot of other people seem to have the same issue. I'm just curious if any of you guys have had any good luck with other longer usb cables for the DS4? I'm trying to find something that should work consistently.

I don't mean to bring this up again but I just heard about that Russian couple that was having full on live sex on ps live streams last night. This is getting ridiculous and I could see this feature or Ustream being banned soon.

Who cares? Again, this has been going on since launch. Twtich jumped on this stuff immediately and banned any Playroom streams, if Ustream hasn't banned Playroom streams by now they probably aren't going to. I don't know what Ustream's TOS is like, but obviously nudity isn't against it.

Sony has the ability to turn off streaming on a game-by-game basis, so they could easily lock Playroom streaming functionality if they want to. I don't know how big a deal any of this is anymore, though.

 

[Iceman]

Haha, that would be funny showing grandma your PS4. Switching channels between game content and stumbling across that lol.

I hadn't heard of this problem before, but it's not surprising. When Home first came out there were 40+ year olds coming on to 10 year old or younger girls...a LOT. They eventually had to take it away (parents threatening lawsuits, ect). Not sure if they ever brought it back in any form, but I ended up missing open voice chat. That's just how the net is though. Give people an outlet to speak, or show themselves to others with anonymity, and they'll flash themselves, or hit on anything that moves.

I bought PS4 about a month and ago and I am loving every second of it. My favorite PS4 games are "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" and "Don't Starve".

 

[TX85]

Ustream bans streams that get reported for showing nudity but people just keep making new accounts and do it again,Doesn't seem like they will ban the Playroom streams as a whole but just ban an account when reported a few times.

IF it's so ridiculous to you then simply don't go into them and ignore them

Reports are coming out that Sony is planning on introducing PlayStation and PlayStation 2 emulation to the PlayStation 4. The emulation technology that Sony is reportedly developing will upscale games to native HD that will bring the games to a visual level on par with PC mods and HD remasters. PlayStation 3 games will require PlayStation Now to play.

Damn, that's bad. Need some cops/FBI agents with XBL & PSN to weed these sickos out. I imagine it's quite easy for a potential abuser to impress an impressionable young kid online if they are good at multiplayer games.

Good as it never made sense why the PS4 couldn't do this

 

[Iceman]

Yeah that could be great. I'd love to play the PS1 classics again in HD. One of my favourite eras of gaming with a groundbreaking game coming out seemingly every other week.

It's the people commenting in stream chats that are messed up,About 90% of the people commenting are huge trolls and will completely trash or be perverted on someone for no reason,Chubby people/blacks and kids are treated horrible on there and I don't think you can kick people of the the chat room except report them but the seem people are always on there talking ****.

People on streams who do nudity are drunk or do it cause most people in the chat beg for it so they want more viewers,Personally I don't mind people getting wild on streams but I think there should be some age limit thing tied to your account or something,maybe automatic censorships so people will see there's no point in doing it anymore

I've seen some nasty people too, I'll admit though that I mess with people at times, usually just saying things like "You look like this actor if he had a drinking problem" or "Where are the f***in' chicks, dude?" but I'm not on their calling people f****ts or racial slurs. I only joke around playfully and light. Some people say anything in front of a computer monitor or in this case, a PS4. For the smarter streamers they ignore the comments but it's crazy reading some of the things guys say if there is a single female in the room of the stream.

I haven't seen people having sex but I could hear one couple off screen in another room as they left their stream on. I think she was doing some of it for show as they didn't think the stream would pick it up but it was pretty easy to hear.

This will also depend on what PS1 & PS2 games are there. Will it be first party only etc ?

how would they introduce the emulation to the PS4?

would we have to buy another model?

 

[hippie_hunter]

The PlayStation 4 always had the potential for emulation. In order to be an effective emulator, the machine needs to be 8x more powerful than the previous machine it's emulating. However, as a cost savings measure, Sony decided to axe backwards compatibility altogether.

Software update. Emulation is a software program, not hardware.

ah, that's good.

cuz I'd hate to have to go out and buy a new PS4 model......lol

but why no emulation for PS3 games?

 

[Iceman]

'coz it's hard! (cell processor not straightforward to emulate compared to seriously old PS1 & PS2 games)

 

[Soapy]

Emulating anything past the Dreamcast is very tricky. PS2 and GameCube emulation are doable, but they require pretty powerful hardware. It will be a long time before anything OG Xbox and beyond are able to be emulated.
