Just bought BF4 and the upgrade there. Regarding the file size of the upgrade: "it will download 6 gigs first so u can play the campaign only. the rest gets downloaded and installed separate. almost 2 hours for me and the campaign is ready but only 31% of the full game."…

You can get it if you already have BF4 on your dashboard, if not you have to sign up and hope they pick you, you will get an email letting you know.

The direct sign up is over, the link on the dashboard sends you to the waiting list sign up page now.

Hertz. Check your ps4 to see what hertz it's giving out via hdmi 50 or 60. Set it to whatever your projector can handle, usually 50.

This worked, not sure if it was hertz exactly but i changed the output from 1080p to 1080i and it works a treat now. thanks for the advice

There is a video thread in the main games forum - usually populated over the course of E3.

Got a PS4 last week, just wondering is it worth double dipping for COD: Ghosts or BF4 (missed the upgrade windows) or is there not much difference and should just wait 4 months-ish for next ones?

If you have BF4 you can go to that in the menu, go to overview and download Hardline from there.

Didn't particularly enjoy the game and a bit that I played.

That only lasted a few minutes. There was limited automatic downloads.

I'd buy one of them so you have something to play in the meantime Next Battlefield is going to be cops n robbers. I've really enjoyed BF since I got it Ghosts not so much but it's a personal taste.

You are a star m8. Kisses and hugs. Now I need to buy some mini bluetooth keyboard. I actually can't believe Sony let's to use any keyboard like that. Fair play.

download the playstation app and you can type using tour phone. I'm not sure if that works for all games though.

If it uses the PS4's text entry (not a specific in-game keyboard), it should work.

Tried using app and it sucks balls. It disconnects after few seconds, because phone goes to sleep mode. Will need to get keyboard.

Yeah keyboard is a better option but I'm sure you could stop your phone going asleep and plug it in doesn't go dead in the mean time.

I bought bf4 for ps4 a few days ago and it's great. I'm not buying premium, but I will buy naval strike at some stage.

I think it's more so for that functionality.

I'd agree to be honest.

But I always use the phone app now when i'm responding to messages. So handy. Especially for the ps3.

When you put down phone with that app, it just goes off. Then when you need to type something fast, you need to unlock phone, reconnect app and then use it.
Yes you can put your phone in to non sleep mode, yes you can put your phone on to charger, but it is not practical.
It's nifty idea and it can be handy for big text messages.
Something like simple cheap bluetooth keyboard will be more convenient.

I may regret it but I bought COD and Killzone 2nd hand off Amazon. For the same price as a new BF4, have the premium on pc so may wait for the price to come down to double dip on that. Love all things Battlefield.
