PS4 Megathread

Grayditch

I feel like Knack isn't going to be great, but I'm really hoping I'm wrong. I sort of got the feeling it's lacking something every time I watch a video. If it starts getting 7/10's and upward, and the reviews say it isn't boring I'll pick it up, knowing the Co-Op will make it worth it.

I'm making a guess as to what makes sense not what they've confirmed or anything, but I'd say it only deletes the cached content when it needs the space for a new game.

On any HDD deleting something does not get rid of it, it only allows new data to be written to that space.

The file system in which the drive itself is formatted vastly contributes to this also. NTFS, FAT, Ext3/4 (Linux) have different characteristics in relation to the reallocation of memory after a file has been deleted.

As the OrbisOS on the PS4 is based on FreeBSD: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/FreeBSD-Linus-Orbis-OS-PlayStation-OtherOS,23254.html

I think the file system in use maybe some type of modified Z-File System or ext4: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/filesystems-zfs.html

Should be cool to see this section of the architecture in action and how reliable Sony have made it. Mark Cerny appears to know his **** so it will be interesting to see how effective his input (from a developers perspective) contributed to the execution of games on the device

Hoping we get the €10 credit like the US, will probably spend it on Minecraft.

Is there any games you like? You complain here about any games thats not an FPS, and over in the battlefield forum you complain about Battlefield.

It is bordering on trolling. He posts only for a reaction.

Dont get too excited

Rumors state that ps4 may be released a week early although it looks like the rumor is false.

This would have been a really nice early Christmas present

Already debunked by PS Blog.

Could imagine the queues if it was a week early. with XBox One and PS4 releasing the same day.
See on news reports "Console fans were glaring viciously at each other, with insults being hurled such as "720p!" One fan was completely ignored once he mentioned how he just wants to play games and couldn't be bothered arguing over consoles"

I was thinking it might be delayed if anything with Super Typhoon Haiyan battering the South China Sea at the moment.

It could be the PS4's Kameo or the likes. Not everyone likes 'Merica War Fighter 6.

Kameo was mad.

Got it on day one of the 360 launch. Its one of my favourite family friendly platformer games.

Im gonna get Knack so its something I can play with my girlfriend after Ive got murdered fat too many times in BF4.
If its anything like Crash Bandicoot or Spyro it should be alright.

Yep! But you never see it or have to wait for it. The PS4 reads and plays from the Disc while simultaneously installing in the Background. You'll essentially never notice it doing it.

This is my understanding of Caching, might handle a little different on the actual system.

When the US get it in 7 days we'll know everything.

I'll post a video next week from initial power on to playing first game in case if anyone wants me to or is interested in that kinda of thing

Your posts are unbearable to read.

Different people like different types of game, shock horror I know.

New news on Knack

According to the developers, the co-op mode can be played via two DualShock4 controllers or through Vita through Remote Play.

If you head over to the PS Blog, you cam also glean more information on how Knack’s Quest, the free iOS download, is incorporated into the core game.

Knack launches alongside PS4 November 15 in North America and November 29 in Europe.

In the first video strangely enough is a version of a Imelda May song.
