The Official PS4 Thread - Part 8

[Thundercrack85]

So far, I have purchased (though not necessarily received yet):

Grand Theft Auto V
Wolfenstein
The Evil Within
Shadow of Mordor
Tomb Raider
Assassin's Creed Unity
Diablo III
Far Cry 4
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Murdered Soul Suspect
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
And for some reason... Minecraft.

At this point I don't actually play games. I just buy them.

That has been my problem as of late

 

[Thundercrack85]

I am considering buying a Vita, since I just am not home enough to scratch my gaming itch.

 

[JaD]

I forgot Sleeping Dog exists. Not a bad game, but not really worth rebuying.

Ha I feel the complete opposite. And I'm someone that 100%'d the game on PS3

Loved the hell out of that game

 

[Doc Ock]

I got Killzone, AC Black Flag, and Battlefield 4 with my PS4 last November and still haven't bought any games since then (minus all the digital freebies, and Oddword: New N Tasty...which I wanted the console mainly for ). I'm really cheap when it comes to games, a single video game costing over 30 just isn't worth it to me anymore. With certain exceptions.

I am considering buying a Vita, since I just am not home enough to scratch my gaming itch.

Get ready for outrageous memory card prices, I never have enough memory for my Vita but haven't had a chance to get a bigger size, partly due to my reluctance to pay so much for one.

I wish hackers would **** right off. Can't get into PSN.

Yeah me neither. Sony's not having a good week, lol. I was in the middle of Chuck re-watch binge on Netflix too. Boo.

I was on GTA V trying to get into the bank and it can only be accessed through connection to my Rockstar account via PSN...which wasn't the case for PS3.
I just got on Netflix fine though

 

[Havok83]

Heh, well I've played most of them already, I just don't trade my games in so I'm more of a collector in a sense.

My colleague at work was always playing Diablo 3 on his lunch, I thought it looked fun so I may consider it. Hope you enjoy it.

Right now I'm just goofing around in GTA Online with my friends but my main game at the moment is actually AC III on PS3, I think I may try to platinum that too I'm not sure. The first game I want to play of my new purchases is actually Sniper Elite 3, I love that series and can't wait to save all my favorite kills through Share and then make a mix or something of them I had some epic kills in Sniper Elite 2. Gotta get my new TV first

I forgot to ask you but how big is your HDD? I tried to update ACU but couldn't bc I ran out of space

My Netflix app isn't letting me on because it can't connect to the PSN to verify the license. I mean, at least I can access Netflix on other devices, but I prefer my TV, dammit.

I have a 1.5tb drive in there. I had the hard drive arrive the same time I got my PS4, before I even turned it on I swapped out the 500gb one with the new one. I'm still mindful of how much space I use up though since I use the Share function a lot. I think I have about 900gb available right now.

Question.

Is the basic headset and mic that you get with the ps4 any good at when you're streaming live videos on Twitch/Ustream? Can it be used at all for that?

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Gonna fire up the old ps4 and game out for my day off

Unless things have changed, the "headset" that comes with it is awful. It's literally just a single earbud with a mic on it.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I tested it and jacked up its pick up volume and it works pretty well...even though it's an ugly single thing

I'll be doing a live broadcast of PT if anybody wants to see it later on

 

[Solidus]

I actually prefer the earbud. I don't like having a whole set over my ears.

 

[Rodrigo90]

The mic for that isn't very good I've heard?

 

[Solidus]

I've had no problems with it. The mic is on the Dual Shock 4 isn't it?

 

[Rodrigo90]

I think so. But I talk into that little box thing on the headset.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I'm not aware of a mic on the DS4. But the microphone that comes with the free headset is decent.

 

[Rodrigo90]

It is yeah. I was surprised when I cranked up its receiving volume.

And I was doing a broadcast of PT and I had 7 people watching...One of them said my voice was too deep

 

[Thundercrack85]

It helps that Sony has decades of experience designing excellent headsets. Probably also makes it cheaper to produce.

 

[-Arya-]

Anyone download the 20th anniversary theme? I love the fact that they incorporated the original Playstation intro song. It brought a smile to my face

 

[Destructus86]

Anyone think the PS4 will go on sale for Christmas? I'm planning on buying a second one (for my wife) and hoping I can find one on sale.
