The Official PS4 Thread - Part 9

Man you have a lot of games for a system that has yet to really get good games on it yet.

Essentially once I got my PS4, I stopped buying games for my 360 and PS3.

do you plan on opening minecraft?

if you're acquainted with the game I could use your help.

While it's certainly great that Naughty Dog will take their time with U4 to ensure a fantastic experience, it is disappointing to see that the PS4 will have back-to-back disappointing Fall lineups. Unless some big exclusive gets announced at E3 for a Fall release date, PS4 has nothing against Halo 5, The Rise of the Tomb Raider, and possibly Quantum Break.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Quantum Break got delayed to 2016

Not that I was going to get Uncharted anyway, but I'll be too busy playing Metal Gear, Persona, Battlefront, and whatever holiday games might be announced at E3 to worry about Sony's lack of first party games.

Not a fan of the uncharted series?

 

[Soapy]

Not so much. I don't hate them or anything, they're just not my cup of tea.

Even if you were a big fan it's not so bad for you because you hve a all those games you said you look forward to playing. It's just maybe you'da been a little more bummed out is all.

I'm pretty psyched for persona 5, but we don't even know if that'll make it to America this year.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I'm not sure why, but I really lost interest in Uncharted for some reason around UC3. I wasn't even all that excited whenever UC4 got announced. I don't know what happened exactly, can't think of a series where my interest just evaporated for no real reason. God of War maybe, I got tired of those (and the last few games were weak).

 

[Doc Ock]

I think God of War should of stopped after the first game, it ended so well. The series could of been about different characters or mythologies afterwards. Oh well.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, I prefer to think the story did stop with the first game, and the other games are some weird, "What if we did this horrible, horrible stuff to milk the franchise dry."

 

[Havok83]

GoW gets worse with every game thats released. The first was the best and its been downhill from there

 

[Thundercrack85]

I enjoy Uncharted, but it's not a killer app for me.

There really isn't a Sony killer app for me.

Nintendo has Mario and Zelda, and Microsoft has Halo, but I don't really have a franchise I will buy a console for with Sony. They just have the best system.

here's the official list of features coming to the PS4 with Update 2.5 ( Yukimura ):

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/03/11/ps4-update-2-50-yukimura-preview-suspendresume-and-more/

Looks like stuff that's been rumored lately are making it in. Namely, Suspend/Resume and the Accessibility Options ( including Button Mapping ).

I'm curious if the Accessibility Options ( like Zoom ) will make it easier to read the Web browser on the PS4.

also, judging by the comments, it seems they are strongly hinting at DLNA and possibly video/picture USB playback.

Quite a few comments requested DLNA, and the official response was:

"We want PS4 versions of these features, not a cut/ paste from last gen. Stay tuned."

Every DLNA request is referred back to that response, as well as one request for "ability to save and play movies and photos just like in the PS3."

The response to that last request was:

"Working on it. See comment #10 ( the one about DLNA )."

So.........hopefully.........

 

[Thundercrack85]

Well, I like button mapping.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

Quantum Break got delayed to 2016

I thought that was just a rumor?

 

[Tron Bonne]

I don't know, is it?

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

no idea buddy.

 

[JaD]

At the moment, it's not officially confirmed.

 

[Nathan]

Anyone playing Helldivers? Crazy fun game. You can't turn off friendly fire, I died numerous times due to accidents, but not once did I get mad about it.

This is the best description I can find for the game.

Dead Nation and Starship Troopers had a baby, dressed it in cutesy Destiny clothes and called it Helldivers... And its one rockin baby

And made a little video. The music just fits perfectly for that game as well.

I know this has happened to several people in the past, and I find Sony's policies surrounding this to be ridiculous.

- Basically, if you are unlucky enough to have your account hacked, Sony will only refund up to $150 in charges.

- If the hacker deactivates your PS4 to activate their own, you are screwed because Sony only allows 1 activation/deactivation every 6 months

- If you decide to dispute the charges with your bank or credit card, your account is banned and you lose all of your current digital games and content

I would think Sony would have a better set of policies in regards to account hacks than this, especially in light of the infamous PSN hack a few years back. It seems like if you are unlucky enough to be targed, you will seriously lose either way. Either eat the fraudulant charges to keep your account, or dispute them and lose your account and all your games.

This makes me rethink my all digital stance for games this gen. What do you all think?

I'm thinking about finally upgrading my PS4's harddrive. I'm getting really tired of playing musical chairs with my saved games every time I buy something new, haha. Has anyone done this yet? I'm looking to see what the best harddrive to get would be since I imagine it'll affect performance (load times, etc).

i'm waiting for a really huge hard drive. i heard toshiba was doing a 3tb sata hard drive. but there's also rumors that that the suspend/resume software update is gonna exclusive external hard drive support, if you're interested in doing that as an alternative

External harddrive support would be swell. I've got about 4 terabytes worth of external HDDs just wasting space in my office right now.
