PlayStation 4 Chat II

The vita games are also cross-buy with ps4 which is nice. Already got tales from the borderlands but alienation looks fun.

[Cumberdanes]

Alienation is amazing. I paid full price for it.

Is that the spiritual successor to Dead Nation?

[Godzilla]

Yeah. Bloody awesome fun especially online multiplayer

[Poser]

Alienation is top drawer.

Has anyone else noticed a problem when playing video from a USB that the sound gradually loses sync with the picture? It appears to happen around the 1 hour mark. The video then needs to be restarted and it's fine.

I get that occasionally but it doesn't happen every time.

It's more annoying that there are so many unsupported formats. Don't Sony want us to be able to watch pirate movies and TV shows?

Weirdly, I had a tonne of films on which the audio wouldn't work, so I was looking at the painstaking process of converting them. But then tried again just after the recent big update and they were all working ok. So not sure if they updated the codec support or something.

Amazing really how the original PS3 was such an amazing media centre when it first launched and then updated with firmware, but since the PS3 Slim PlayStation has gradually been getting worse. Just something as silly as the memory card slots under the flaps were really handy.

Excited to play Alianation. I loved Dead Nation and I presume this is more of the same but with Aliens instead of Zombies? 4 Player co-op, too! Awesome.

Brilliant month for PS4 owners who don't have the games. Tales from the Borderlands is fantastic.

Just a shame I have both.

For some reason I thought Farpoint had been released already.

Quick query - getting a PS4 Slim for my brother. Can I add my PSN Account (with PS Plus) to that console too?

Yeah, you can logon to more than one console using your PSN ID, gamerf'... but not at the same time.

Do it right and he can play online without a separate subscription, and you can both play at the same time.

How do we do this?

If you set the 2nd PS4 as your primary PS4, you do not need to be logged in on it for your brother to use your content. You will need to log into both PS4s to download and install your game initially.

Once the game is installed on both PS4s, your brother can log in on the primary PS4 (PS4#2) with his own PSN ID and start the game up. You can then log in to your PS4 (PS4#1).

You can play using your PSN ID on any other PS4 while he logs into your primary PS4. You can still only actively sign on with your account on one console at a time.

Cheers - need to get my head round this!

[Death's Head]

You can still only actively sign on with your account on one console at a time.

But the main thing is that another account can log in to a PS4 where your primary account is and play online and use all of the downloads from the primary account. At the same time, another PS4 can log in as you allowing 2 PS4s to share the online subscription.

I stumbled across this by luck a couple of years back when I was playing with accounts on our 2nd PS4 and was like

Let's play read too much into that double square shape: PS5 announcement/teaser at E3, full reveal at PS Ex '17.

I'm convinced they're going to want a piece of the 'mini console' action.

(I know it's been pointed out that many PS1 games haven't aged well, but I can still imagine Sony thinking it's a good idea.)
