The Official PS4 Thread - Part 9

[UnionJack]

It is God awful. And I liked Assassin's Creed III. So, yeah.

Just steer clear. I wouldn't even download it for free.

I really enjoy Unity, though I got it after two patches and it works fine for me.
The story is good and the characters are decent, still prefer AC4 over it but it's still worth playing if you're an AC fan.

from what was said "PlayStation Plus members will be able to watch the weekly episodes in season one as part of their membership"

it will come to everyone gradually I think so far the mail focus see to be the plus members

I mean...I can read. I know what it says. It's just not super clear from the stuff I've read if it's Plus only or not.

Haha...it's true! I went back to it last night, and I got past that part I was stuck on over the weekend on the first try.

Nice list, congrats! I got my PS4 for Christmas, and I’m completely addicted to it. I’m actually a little sad I finished The Last of Us, that was a GREAT game.

Playing Alien Isolation now. That game is creepy!

Thank you! t:

As of now, I'm obsessed with Infamous 2 lol.

Does anyone know where I go to download a game after Iv purchased it off the playstation app. Dumb question, I know.

Also has anyone else been having PS Store issues? I go to the store and the loading screen just sits on the screen, the store never loads up.

it should show up in your download list on your PS4 if you've set it to download. If not, go to the PS store and do a search for it. It should give you the option to download. I beleive it should also be in your library from the PDM and you can download directly from there

On the PS3, sure but I've never had an issue loading up the store on PS4.

There was a firmware update in the last couple days, maybe you need to update or something first?

Yea I just updated it then ran a quick internet test through my PS4 and it came back 18 Mbps. When I ran the same test on my X1 it came back 51 Mbps. No idea why it's lower on my P4, the two consoles are right next to each other.

I've been having issues with that since I got it back in November. Haven't tested it yet after this update, but I'm hoping it's been corrected.

 

[Spider-Who?]

No psn issues here.

I hate that the PS app is not on windows phone. I can still do it from my galaxy tablet tho

wowwwww I did not know that, that's a dick move by sony

 

[hippie_hunter]

How is it a dick move? Almost no one of prominence are working on apps for Windows Phone. Sony isn't making a PlayStation app for Windows Phone simply because Windows Phone doesn't have the user base to make it worthwhile. If it's not a part of the app stores of the Android or iOS systems, developers aren't going to take the time and effort to port and update their apps to other systems. Other OS developers like Amazon and Blackberry had to conform to Android in order to get access to a vast library of apps.

But Microsoft isn't conforming. It's why major apps like eBay, Instagram, and others are hardly updated. It's why it took so long for basic apps like Facebook and Dropbox to finally come out on Windows Phone. It's why Google doesn't even bother developing for the platform. It's also why Microsoft is working on the issue of cross functionality with Windows 10 to where most Windows 10 apps can work on PC and phone to try and fix that problem.

i didn't know windows phones had issues with other popular apps. I guess there's more to the story.

It all comes down to the user base of Windows Phone. Plain and simple. Asides from a few stupid things like Apple's stubbornness on bringing iTunes to Android, companies aren't withholding apps simply because their big jerkface meanies. Windows Phone's market share has never really risen much higher than 3% of the market and it's declining. Without the user base, app developers just aren't going to want to support it unless a platform does what Amazon and Blackberry did by making their phones Android compatible. And without a compelling app selection, users aren't going to buy Windows Phone over Android and iOS. And it doesn't help that Microsoft made a really ****** mobile OS to begin with. It's a big reason why Microsoft has become platform agnostic with their services on iOS and Android as opposed to having Office, Skype, Outlook, Minecraft, etc. being Windows Phone exclusive selling points.

Think of it as the same logic as to why developers and publishers don't want to support Nintendo platforms. Asides from the dickish EA, the other developers/publishers gave the Wii and Wii U a real shot, but their efforts were burned by the small Wii U user base on top of that user base having no interest in games that aren't developed by Nintendo.

No one has a Windows phone. They arent worth developing for

yeah, it makes sense to me now. i didn't realize mS's share in the mobile industry was that insignificant. I assumed the ps app's absence on windows phone was a case of the 'jerkface' thing you were explaining about.

what do you mean by mS becoming platform agnostic? are all those applications you mentioned exclusive to their mobiles? so minecraft on non-mS mobiles are no longer operable?
