The lack of actual l2 & r2 buttons ruins it for me, makes playing most games difficult, shame really.

Yeah I just had a look at some YouTube videos there and the l2 an r2 seem to be mapped onto the rear touchpad. Doesn't look ideal.

phobia2011

have actually just connected via android tv box, controls ar not correct as some buttons seem mixed of unresponsive, any ideas?

Thanks but I've tried that.

I had the same disc-ejecting issue with mine and none of the solutions online worked. The problem was the touch sensitive buttons on the front so went back to Argos and got it replaced. They gave me one of the newer models CUH-12xx which have mechanical buttons which properly fixes the issue.

If you do end up sending yours back don't forget to go into your PS4 Settings and deactivate it as Primary first.

I sold my launch day ps4 before Christmas. Not sure if I deactivated it as primary. Will this cause me bother when I buy a new model and set it up?

You can deactivate it from the ps store online page. Just sign in with your account and deactivate.

I'm having the same problem but have had no reply from Sony customer service as of yet, it cannot be deactivated any other way than from the machine itself, I tried online and it won't allow you,
I find I cannot push games to download while in rest mode is the only problem so far

I believe you can only use the online service once every 6 months, after that you need to contact support. If that is your issue you will just have to wait unfortunately =/

cadete

just off the phone to support, you can do it from a web browser,

go to https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/liquid/confirm-sso!input.action which should open your dashboard

Do not click on devices, instead on the top bar click "account"

then on the left bar click "media and devices"

click "deactivate all"

done!

If you click devices straight from the dashboard it wont allow deactivation but if you go through the menus it will

I just finished the order and have to say i really enjoyed it. Got it for $10 on a sale recently. I can understand the criticisms people had with it and i hope they can rectify those for a possible sequel

Try the old republic, the games got 6 distinct and good stories and the Knight is the considered KOTOR 3.

Considering only the Films and games/comics/books released since Disney got the rights are considered canon now the Kotor won't be revisited as it is.

Good news is that Bioware are still supporting the old republic, it's free to play now, and they're adding content that's more interesting now it's no longer to stick to a stick approval from Lucas films.

I look forward to finally playing all the games I bought in 2015, and many I bought in 2014..... truth be told 2013 and 2012 are well represented in games I've so far only entered my name into

I plan to further bolster the unplayed pile with The Last Guardian, though I hear it might be a PS5 launch title, and No Man's Sky.

What's the likes of Tropico like to play on the PS4 with the controller?

Plays just fine, not as good or as quick as a keyboard and mouse but it gets the job done.

It's not like trying to play a tough RTS like C&C3 on the 360, that was so hard without a keyboard and mouse. I couldn't finish it on the console.

That was what I was thinking. C&C was horrendous on 360. Would you recommend Tropico 5?

Captain Chaos

It's not bad, I got it on a PSN sale for about €30, the DLC for it is expensive for what it is though

I wouldn't mind more games like it for the console. RTS games just aren't in favour anymore. Hoping Xcom 2 makes to the consoles some day.

Firewatch is something I can't wait for since E3 last year but hope it's not €20 at launch
The Banner Saga, Unravel and This War of Mine too

Has the Banner Saga not been out for ages? Or is it that it's only just coming to PS4?

Eagerly anticipating The Witness at the end of the month. A genius designer with brilliant ideas about game design spending the guts of a decade (along with his team) making something that looks more impressive every time I see it. Fascinated by the way they have approached both the puzzle philosophy (all self contained little boxes) and environmental storytelling. As someone increasingly tired of cookie-cutter open worlds, this is exactly what I've been looking for - an immaculately designed, manageable open space full of secrets and mysteries. Let's hope it's not quite as obtuse as Myst :pac:

Will be equal parts surprised and disappointed if this isn't something very special indeed.

So it'll be a 2 1/2 hour game for €20 - €30 then? :pac:

wandatowell

No man's sky, I've no idea why though.


They'd want to start getting some deets out, or some lengthy footage at least.

The division has me interested but I've stopped getting overly excited about games as I've been disappointed with a few titles last year.

There currently are no boxing games, none even slated for future release till Fight Night Champion 2 in 2017 and that is only a rumour, as for racing games there are not any must haves, DriveClub is quite good though and Gran Turismo Sport is due out sometime this year, but will be more of a prologue.
