PlayStation 4 Chat II

[Victor Mildew]

Okay.

Right.

I got some money for Christmas and I have spent it on Bloodborne and Dark Souls III. Downloading now.

Tough games... scary games. But it's time to git gud .

Be wary of hyrule field.

The real Ocarina of Time starts here.

I should be able to start Bloodborne in an hour. It's the incredible environments and character designs that I most want to see... I've watched a few playthrough clips on YouTube and it is sensational. I just hope that I can summon up the skills and display enough grit to make progress through the game.

I'm scared and excited .

Not too bad this month. DOTT is a classic but I'll doubt I'll have time to play anytime soon. Titan Souls I'm interested in but heard bad things

Pleeeeeease don't watch our read any more on the game, they're so strawberry floating good when you're blind to everything.

No worries, Ad, I only watched small snippets to get a feel for the game. I'm currently trying to work out how to equip items .

Eurgh, so my wireless stereo headset appears to have given up the ghost. It refuses to charge at the moment, I just plug it in, the light comes on red, and then disappears after a few seconds Tried two different leads in four different USB sources (PS4, PC, Surface, wall plug) and it's exactly the same situation in each. Useless.

Can anyone recommend me a decent replacement? Honestly I'm not even a huge fan of the over ear voice+game headsets, so if it's just an xbox style single ear one for a bit cheaper then that's just as good.

(glacier whote console)

I'm not mad about whote consoles but, yeah, that does look swish.

But why are gaming consoles still shipping with 500Gb drives? Even 1Tb is pretty small; I can't believe that no manufacturer has a 2Tb drive as an option at the moment!

I hesitate to mention it again... but please, Sony, get with the game and allow an external drive to be used with the PS4! The console is such a cool bit of kit and yet, for me, storage is a bit of a bugbear.

White is a great colour until 2 years into the console cycle it looks mucky.

I was typing an update on the PSN GRcade Community page (I knew people would want to hear all about the new Hatsune Miku game ) and I noticed that one of my words had been "starred out" as offensive. "Huh?!? I haven't typed anything bad?"

Well... it seems that Sony doesn't like me using the word "scraped". Because it has "rape" in it .

I dare you to set your location as Scunthorpe.

A theme update for fans of themes!

> I've tried out the Bloodborne dynamic theme (yeah, it's been out for ages) and I really like it. The music is in classic somber 'borne style and the background smoothly switches between four separate images; each of which is highly detailed and looks ace
> I may be rubbish at Bloodborne but dang my screen is looking hot

PS4 Pro owners:

What do you think of the system and is it going to be wroth the extra 100 odd quid compared to a slim when I'm not interested in investing in a 4k TV or VR at the moment?

Read this thread.

Personally, I would say yes.

As they come with a 1TB installed, I think they're worth the extra, but only just. I think overall it's nothing special when used on a regular 1080p set. I was hoping lots of games would receive solid 60 fps patches for PS4 pro 1080p users, but it just isn't the case so far. Maybe titles from 2017 will start to utilise it more.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is for me the best example of how the PS4 Pro can be utilised - I'd like to see more games handled like that.

PS4 system software 4.50 beta starts today

Get a run-down of the biggest features in the forthcoming update.
Starting today, those of you lucky enough to be chosen for the PS4 system software 4.50 beta (codename Sasuke) trial will be able to get your hands on the new features from the forthcoming update. Keep an eye on your email inbox – if you were chosen, you’ll receive an email with details of how to download the update and get started.

In the meantime, here’s a quick overview of the biggest features coming your way. For this update, we’ve focussed on some of the things that you, the PS4 community, have requested most often – including external HDD support, custom wallpapers and more ways to connect and share with friends.

External HDD support

Struggling to find space for all the games you want to play? Well worry no more; you can now connect a USB 3.0 external HDD and download, save and install games, apps and add-ons directly onto your removable HDD. You can also move any games and apps you’ve already saved onto it to help you stay organised.

When you connect the external HDD, everything will be accessible from your PS4 Home Screen as normal. What’s more, your PS4 will support an external HDD up to 8TB in size, giving you a huge amount of space to play with.

Custom wallpapers

If you’ve captured a truly epic in-game moment with the SHARE button, you can now set it as the background image for your PS4 Home Screen. To make sure the Home Screen icons and text don’t get lost against your new wallpaper, you can tweak the drop shadows and brightness of the menus to keep them clearly visible.

If you’re feeling particularly creative, you can also use SHAREfactory’s Photo Mode to edit your screenshots and make something entirely unique to use as your wallpaper.


Quick menu refresh

System software 4.0 introduced the Quick Menu (accessed in-game when you long-press the PS button on your DUALSHOCK 4) and the latest update further enhances this popular feature to make it even more user-friendly.

The Quick Menu will cover less of the game screen, and you’ll now be able to create, join and manage Parties on the go, meaning you can connect with friends without having to leave the game.


Post status updates to your PlayStation Network activity feed

Just like updating your Facebook status or posting to Twitter, you can now post updates directly to your PSN activity feed. You’ll be able to add simple text updates, tag friends, add screenshots and include specific games, then send your updates to appear in the What’s New section for all your PSN friends to see.

You’ll also be able to send your in-game screenshots to the Live from PlayStation section as a Public Activity, meaning players from around the world can see your best moments as they happen.

3D Blu-ray support for PlayStation VR

If you’re a PS VR owner, you can now use your PS4 to play 3D Blu-ray discs and watch them in stereoscopic 3D via your headset.

This is just a taste of the features included in system software 4.50, so make sure to keep an eye out for more information, including launch timing, in the upcoming weeks.

For those taking part in the beta trial, we hope you enjoy trying out these new features and, as always, your feedback is really important to us.

[Mafro]

Excellent news on the HDD stuff. About bloody time.

[chalkitdown]
