PS4 Megathread 2.0

ItsHoggie

So I got my Ps4 today! And I've two questions 1.Is there anyway to check the battery percent without holding down the ps button
2.how does the touch pad work? Can I use it scroll through menus cause it doesn't seem to be working for me
Cheers

1: I think that is the only way.

2: The button can be used in certain games. Some games it might open a map and in others it has a few uses such as draw a square and it will create a box etc.

Ah that kinda sucked, it would be nice if it went a certain colour when fully charged or something similar,

Yeah I got it to work in Watch Dogs, can it not be used to scroll through menus on the home screen?

Alright man nice one anyway, would you know if I could update squads in FIFA using a USB?cause I ain't got Internet acces in my home but I could download them using my gf's pc?

I had a quick look online and I cant access pages that say they have the update file but im sure you can do it that way. Get the ps4 system updates aswell while your in the gf's also you really should get a PS+ Sub for your 2 free games every month.

Alright ill have a look later on, nice one ill be getting PS + when I get wifi back on

Well if you do get the PS+ now, you can use the login on a PC and get all your free games redeemed to your account every month so you can get all your Vita/PS3/PS4 games

I didn't even think of that lol thank you

No problem, new games were released for June yesterday so a few weeks to pick them up. Keep an eye on the PS+ thread in here and youll see any work around offers like Killzone for 99 cent etc when they pop up.

Will do , cheers

Remember on PS+ don't just limit yourself to the PS4 games - you never know if you'll pick up a cheap PS3 or a vita sometime in the future. If you do then you'll have a great catalog of games saved up - although thinking on this I bought the vita because I had the catalog built up. On the plus side it is great to remote play some of the freebies with...

Watch_Dogs is class, don't understand the hate?

It really improves when you start to learn it's ways and the story gets great after a few hours. Actually really like the ganme and in was very skeptical.

Open world games are very subjective I find.

Do you guys thing playstation now will work properly in ireland, with a good internet connection (50 down 20 up)? I have a ps3 but the only games I played on it was cod and battlefield and literally nothing else besides rockstar games. I want to play uncharted and the other cool games without buying them. Game click seems like it closed down too.

We will have to wait and see how it works first in the US, I hope your not in a rush to use it over here as it does not have a EU release date as of yet.

Just because i don't like a game, doesn't mean i hate it, if we were all zombies loving the same games all the time, their wouldn't be much diversity.

I've got a PS+ subscription. How do you actually do this ? I've logged on to PSN on PC and it's not immediately obvious.

Login here and place the games into your cart that you want ,and then complete the cart. Your games are then in your download list for future downloads.

Turn off "connect to internet" in your system settings.

It'll work fine as long as your not in the sticks with a ****ty internet connection (like me )

Not liking War Thunder now, both in the air and on the ground.

Russian tank reserves have a gun 2x the size of the Germans, and the update from 1.37 to match the PC version was huge so now you're playing against PC players who are used to the updated version and fight models while you're having to relearn stuff.

ShadowHearth

Well, warthunder on PS4 sucks. I was waiting for ground forces and oh my god, how bad it is.
They need some massive performance optimisation as it is not even in acceptable territory anymore. Framerate is pretty much at slide show level. Map Is way too small to be useful.
Playing against pc people even in tanks is just a pain. Well, that sucked...

Never noticed any performance issues

Got past the crappy German reserve tanks, so at least on ground forces it's a fair fight. Well fair in that I'm winning.

Too much has changed on planes so I'm going to play on a side I've not yet to work my way up again.
