PS4 Megathread 3.0

If anyone is finding their PS4s to get a bit loud, just clean the areas to the side of the PS4 out.

I found mine were pretty dusty so cleaned it out using a tissue and blew out the rest of the dust. Been a hell of a lot quieter since.

I've had my PS4 since launch. I decided to give it a thorough spring clean so I took the bottom of it off (breaking the warranty) and removed the power supply. The amount of dust on the fan and heat sink shocked me TBH.

However, after some compressed air and cotton buds, it's nice and quiet now.

Hmmm.. I may do that so. I'm selling my ps4 off at the end of the month to a friend. Making sure it's in as good of condition as possible.

I imagine the warranty will end pretty soon anyway.

I really want to play Until Dawn right now but it screams of price drop to me. Think (and hope) it's the kind of game that'll be around €30 by Christmas.

NOPE. Please do not do that. It can lead to static and bad times.

Ha ha:-) it that really a thing? I've never heard that before, mine gets hoovered every once in a while.

Did they make a huge price update for the IE Store? I was checking https://psprices.com/region-ie/index and I'm seeing 232 discounts and most games I've checked don't say when the new price ends, so I want to assume and hope they've dropped the prices since there's no signs of a sale on the PSN Store page

I have 20 beta keys to give away for Rainbow Six Seige that starts on the 24th.

Keys are redeemable for your platform of choice.

Mod edit: you either have keys to give away or you don't.
Give them away in thread or via PM.

Ni No Kuni is like some of the most gorgeous music and visuals in a game ever mixed with everything wrong with JRPGs. I'm actually surprised by all the talk about how it was going to save japanese RPGs from reviewers, it's just such a poor uninteresting game.

I dunno, at the start it was a chore but I have a boat just now and it is getting better. I will admit that the story is very childish.

I had high hopes for Level 5, they made Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) and that game was superb. Mind, I was quite young when playing it!

Retr0gamer

Level 5 are very hit and miss. They make some amazing games like Dragon Quest 8 and 9 and Dark Chronicle and yet they make some absolute stinkers like Ni No Kuni or White Knight Chronicle. The company head likes to get involved in games stories and when he does it usually doesn't turn out too well. He's just a god awful writer and it's no surprise that he was entirely responsible for the awful writing in Ni No Kuni. It doesn't excuse the mess of a battle system either and how generic and dull it is. I remember a few years ago he was let write the story and scenario to a Gundam spin off series that nearly caused a nerd riot in Japan because the story was so bad

I just want to play Rogue Galaxy again. All this talk of Sony bringing PS2 classics to PS4, like Dark Cloud, has me hopeful.

Try when you get home, rafflecoptor lets me pick random winners so you can still enter.

I don't require you to signup to enter the draw/competition, rafflecoptor may ask you to sign into twitter/facebook or ask you for your email, but all freely i'd imagine, there has to be a way for us to identify you to get you the key if you win..obviously.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Finally, we have a release date for The Witness - 26th January. Surprised they didn't just hold off until Paris Games Week to announce that or even PSX.

Really looking forward to this, loved Braid, now all we need is a release date for No Man's Sky.

If NMS gets released this year, I'll eat my hat.
