*** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

Yes it is, you have to have it to play online, however sony will give you free games each month across sony platforms, however they only work whilst you have an active ps+ subscription.
 
most of the free games are also useless unless you own a vita and ps3 as well.

e.g. 5 games per month; 1 is ps4, 2 are ps3 and 2 are vita

i'm considering buying a vita simply because i have like 30 games now on my PSN account

Did you download them though so you can still access them when/if you do get a vita?
 
Somebody had a great idea for people who get annoyed by the DS4 light bar!

welcome back to PlayStation.... hope you enjoy your time with us : -)
 
Just picked up my PS4 with Killzone. Tried to get Fifa but it was out of stock! :(



I'm confused as to how you install games to the HDD. :S

It happens when you put the disc in for the first time as it caches enough to boot the game and then the game installs the rest of the game as you play. Some features like MP might be locked out til its fully installed though - I think it installs patches once you exit the game though...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
yeah just insert the disc and it'll install the game, it'll also download any required patches, it does this whilst playing the game, its all quite easy and clever... its a far smoother system then back on the ps3...

enjoy your ps4
 
Wish you didn't have to swap discs. Nice if you only had to authenticate every 48 hours or something for those days off when you try to play a little of everything and are up and down all the time. Steam has made me lazy! :D

Don't find the system seamless so far - need for speed was unplayable with constant freezing whilst installing still , same with Knack

That's a pretty awesome idea really.

Not if you have say 2 brothers and 3 ps4's then all you do is buy one copy and share it. Developers would never agree their sales would drop.

Whereas now you can buy digital copy but they are more expensive and only 2 can use it at the same time.
 
Anybody finding remote play inconsistent? sometimes it is terrible with signal loss etc either connected through the router or directly to ps4 even when sat a couple of feet away, I hope firmware updates fix this
 
Any of you guys got Thief on pre-order for PS4? I blindly pre-ordered it a while back on Amazon with a load more games, but thinking of cancelling it now as:
1. It doesn't really look like anything new gameplay wise, and very similar to Dishonored (I realise that until the reviews comes out we won't really know)

2. I can get it >£20 cheaper on PC..
