The PlayStation 4 Thread.

Re: PS4 pre-order

Been following the launch thread on neogaf with great hilarity.

The HDMI problem seems to be either cheap cables bundled with the console which Is bending the pins, or a piece of metal inside the socket stopping the cable from fully inserting.

Some having problems with freezing as well.

Quite glad for the two week delay in Europe now.

link to thread please?

Uncharted 4 confirmed. No other details , just a voice over a map which could hold clues to the story.
No confirmation that Nathan Drake will return either.

Can't wait to see this on the next gen console.

This game and Naughty Dog being tied with Sony / Playstation is one of THE key selling points of the PS4 imo.

Still holding fire as to which console to get first either way.

Re: PS4 pre-order

I paid for mine in June when I preordered it then paid the remaining £100 few weeks back when I got the Mega bundle upgrade offer... only thing I need now is PSN membership which can be had around the £35 mark:cool: I never thought about shopto going into administration as they seem a strong little company but then again so was game :S think I should be ok with 2 weeks left:p

Re: PS4 pre-order

For those of you who have pre-ordered the PS4 - check this out, US owner/s on a UK forum providing very honest feedback on their experience so far with the PS4 :

http://www.avforums.com/threads/my-ps4-review-and-q-a-thread.1831543/

(Much better than the evident bias that occurs in the 'next gen consoles' thread on here).

Also, i'd reccomend downloading the PSN+ update directly off the PS site, rather than trying to download it off of PSN direct after launch as it'll be overwhelmed and probably time out.

Is this a necessity or just for PSN+ members? Hopefully the latter as my net connection is shocking lol.

It's only a review from one person with another giving some views, hardly a decent representation, and he's using rose tinted glasses IMO, he blames some slowness on his internet connection for example.
 
Re: PS4 pre-order

And who's to say the slight slowness wasn't caused by his internet? Not all of us are blessed with decent broardband, 1mb if i'm lucky for me here, out in the sticks.

Actually, there are 2 owners providing feedback, OP and one other - but it provides a better representation than the XBOne clique on here of the PS4 so far.

thats what i said, read it back, theres a review from one person, and the other one gives his views, he doesn't write a full report like the op, theres only 2 owners, hardly a lot with a million + consoles out there........

oh indeed, I'm just playing devils advocate, but a sony fan would automatically put it down to something other than the consoles fault etc........

My apologies, you did indeed. All I was offering was a place for some clarification over certain questions regarding PSN / Controller / initial feedback on games etc - that's all.

I'm fully expecting the actual failure rate to be well above the 0.4% quoted, probably about 1% when all regions have gotten their respective launches. Not seen any figures for MS's expected failure rate?

Gavin - CS is one of the 'clique-st' forums I know of! Lol.

Re: PS4 pre-order

lol @ not seeing MS's expected failure rate, that would be 0% of course, the actual figure will be a lot higher, but i doubt it will be that of the ps4, when the xbox was launched it had issues, whereas the ps3 launch went pretty much to plan from memory, just because one company has issues, doesn't actually mean the competitor is also going to have them.

But not long to wait now, I'm sure this forum will be full of reports as of 00:01 next friday :)

It does but a lot of Reviews online have stated it is next to useless with Voice control/Commands.

Re: PS4 pre-order

Anyone who ordered with ShopTo have payment taken this morning?

Mine was already paid for but I got a receipt today and it has moved from the preorder part to the orders part and now says processing:D

Re: PS4 pre-order

A report on the recent apparent PS4 faults :

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2013/11/18/playstation-4-fault-reports-whats-the-cause/

The problems have been overblown imo, also why people keep quoting the Amazon.com reviews as a reference point I have no idea, when ANYONE can review a product, whether they've bought it or not.

I have to say i'm looking forward to trying out the DS4 pad, the DS3 was ok at best and the 360 controller was too chunky for me - this looks like a happy medium.

I need to pre-order Infamous : Second Son too - looks mint! :

I nearly said that the other day as well. It's an open review system, it's open to abuse and not really a trusted review.

Re: PS4 pre-order

If you look at the Amazon reviews another thing you'll see if the multiple reviews by the same folk. There's being bias towards a console then theres the ripping the utter pi$$.

On the subject of Infamous. Would one have to have played the 1st to "get it"?

Exactly, and I think that abuse has been highlighted with some of the PS4 reviews.

No, apparently while it has a backstory linked to the earlier titles, it's a standalone title for those who haven't played the series before (like me).

The Order 1886 looks decent too, PS4 exclusive and slated for a 2014 release - this is in engine footage :

^ I know one of the lead graphics coders on Order 1886 - a very talented guy and he has done a few talks recently about the technology going into the game. Some very clever lighting and surface realisation techniques being used on this and the results are very impressive. He recently talked at SIGGRAPH 2013 and went into further detail about some of the techniques. It could be quite a 'looker'.
