Had everything updated by 11am EST. Played AC4 a bit, and then the update installed for ac4, now to figure how to do true 1080p.
Yeah, the notifications and downloading of updates isn't very smooth. Of you go to Notifications, you should be able to see the download and install it.
Playing AC4 with the iPad companion app is pretty sweet.
Played BF4 and I'm very impressed.....does anybody know how to fully install games like BF4 or are games like that just partially installed automatically with no option to fully install?
Poor people? Me and friend did the SAME exact thing. Who the hell wants to play Ghosts on a shitty console controller when they can play it with KB/M? The PS4 has been awesome so far, but it ain't that awesome...it's still a console.
And let's face it, there isn't much to do with the PS4 right now.
I got mine in the box still..if a decent game doesn't not come out in the next couple months will Ebay. FYI kudos goes to Walmart.. shipped this thing super fast delivered it this morning.
Disappointing:
cant play mkv, 3d blu rays,
Mp3 and cds (lol?) I just read will be forthcoming
Who the hell wants to play shitty Ghosts, period?
It's either BF4 or Ghosts, but both blow total ass on a console. AC4 and the rest, they're great.
I'm really surprised how great native 1080p games look on the PS4.
NBA 2K14 is the best looking game on the PS4. Its looks so good that if you were passing by someone playing it .. you wouldn't know it was a video game until you actually saw either someone with a controller pointed at the TV or stopped and really looked at the screen.
Its shocking how awesome it looks.
Ps4 has a glaring problem!
The stupid light bar extremely annoying if you have a projector.
Might pick one up today if Gamestop has one.
What's with the OS on a USB i keep seeing?
That's if you're switching out hard drives.
I have a PJ and the light doesn't bother me
Ah, ok.
Do the PS4's take SSD's?
How serious are you about your projector setup (ambient light isolation and such)? I'm playing on a plasma and the stupid light on the controller is driving me nuts. Covering it with my hand makes a very noticeable difference in light projected onto my TV. I can only imagine how awful it would be with a projector. I'm considering picking up some black vinyl sheet and cutting out a piece to cover the light bar since there's no option to disable it.
You get a free month of playstation plus for ONLINE PLAY but you have to pay just to PLAY ONLINE which kinda sucks since PS3 had free online I only used the online for demon souls dark souls and borderlands.....
Really don't want to sub to this service I might try it for a few games and break it off.
49.00 is way too much for a year. It should be like 29.00.
See you are paying for the free to play games they offer is what you are paying for or bandwidth maybe.
The os is meh and glitchy. Only played killzone thus far and it looks good gameplay is also ok not great.
Still hate the controller. The trigger placement is why ive always avoided shooters on the ps4 and its still just as awkward
So I opened up my Amazon launch edition last night and fired it up. Some bullet points.
- I disagree with the "cheap" comments. it's the same plastic console standards that have been around for years. No significant flex, no noise. More solid than my Xbox360 Slim.
- I don't believe it can browse network shares - or I haven't figured it out yet. I knew it wouldn't stream movies and MP3s right out of the gate - but I was expecting some basic network connectivity, and maybe some picture / media browsing capabilities. Maybe in a future patch. Maybe I just need to stop being noob.
- The web browser is much improved over other consoles I've used. Not anything fantastic - but it gets the job done. I REALLY wanted it to handle my synology NAS's audio station web interface so I can stream FLAC files over it. But alas, it cannot perform the double click necessary in that interface.
- Menus are snappy and not filled with advertisements. Much better IMO than Microsoft's interface of late.
- I love that it connects with an HDMI cable and a little power cord. BOOM done - no brick, no bulky wires, no external $100 wireless adapters snapping on the back. Really well done in an age where external transformers and bulky crap is the norm.
- I'm not sure how I feel about the new controller. I like it's size. The pad seems gimmicky, maybe it'll get used better in the future. The joysticks are almost too sensitive for me, but I bet a lot of people will like that. The D pad is awesomesauce though. Possibly the best one ever.
- The micro usb cable is too short. I can't charge and play from my couch - going to need to get a longer one. Its nice that it's just a regular cable though.
- The unit will not see my wireless N network. Everything else sees it (3 phones, 2 laptops, ipad, guests) Not sure why this isn't working. Wondering if it's broke. 80211 b works fine.
- Does not run hot at all. Top back of the unit gets warm to the touch - but nowhere near hot - or anywhere near the Xbox 360.
Overall, I like the console. If I can get the wireless N working, and I get some way to stream pictures and flac files (either natively or via a web broswer double click improvement) it'll probably be the best console I've ever owned. Right now, with no killer titles IMO - it's a neat toy, but can't top my PC
