Portal is awesome.

Had great fun playing couch co-op with my buddy (though it might have been Portal 2 only)

I'm trying to keep the community spirit alive.

Not all of you have come over to Overwatch yet, so I'm doing my best to provide stimulus

Hence the pregnant cow?

Look, getting your Twitch vies into the double digits isn't as easy as it used to be, you have to be willing to branch out and experiment a bit.

I've seen a bit of Overwatch. There just seems like too much going on. Can't imagine I'd be able to keep up after a glass of wine.


As I'm too scared to play it I've watched RE7 on youtube. Actually think I might pick it up now. Really looks good. Youtuber playing it used to get really distressed

Gone Resident Evil crazy. Playing Revelations 2 yesterday. Played it before when it was free on plus but gave up on it. Really enjoying it this time round. Just bought the remaster of 4 and Origins. Sterling is really weak
Finding it hard to get into the remake of the original. The controls are terribad. Deleted (in frustration) and reinstalled. Think I'm doing something wrong.

They altered the controls so that left moves left etc which actually makes it more difficult imo, switch it back to the old school tank controls and try again.

yeah I think that could be it. keep trying to run away from zombies and run right into them. "aaarrhhhhh" munch munch munch

So, I'm gonna perform the PS4 HDD upgrade tomorrow.

I have a query about the "Backing Up/Restoring" piece. So, the PS4 doesn't recognise certain external SSDs I've tried before.

When doing the back up and using the external, is there a certain type I need to use?

Do I need to back up the whole PS4 storage (pictures, apps, Games, Videos) or Can I just back up the Saved Games and P.T.

If I wanted to do that, would I need to delete all the other stuff off the PS4 1st or what

I have like 3 externals hard drives (HDD and SSD) and a 16GB USB Flash Drive.

Previously my issue was I couldn't get Pics/Vids off the Hard drive to an external and it HAD to be a "Flash Drive"

Explain like I'm 5yo here cause watching videos they are like "Back up your PS4" and I'm like..... ugh

gimli2112

just checked on youtube on the HDD thing and the video was 42 minutes long. I'm just going to buy a pro instead.

Generic, would you not hold out until external support comes in that way you have an additional 500gb of storage?

You run into USB connection issues doing that (might not be an issue for Generic, might be, dunno).

Also, he already bought the HDD, so may as well use it.

I look forward to the stories.

USB hubs work with no problem. I just see it as madness going through the hassle now that we know external support is just about ready. No messing around its just plug and play.

But hey, i will look forward to hearing about how it goes :pac:

Ideally, you would want (need) 2 USB sticks (it's what I used). The issues with external drives forces you to the USB sticks. They even say it on their website. First one for all your game saves/PT/vids/pics. Second for the latest O/S. For a new install, just go to the bottom of the page.

Depending on how much data you want to bring over, it can take an hour or so to transfer all your files from the 4 to the stick (and again in the other direction). Delete the stuff (Vids/Pics) you know you wont use, then just save the rest to the stick. The more you delete, the faster the transfer is, obviously.

The physical process of swapping out the HDD takes 10 mins. Installing the O/S takes 20/30 mins I think.

It is a fairly easy process (minus the "Oh **** what have I done" sweats).

Edit: Direct from the PS website. Instructions.

It's the site I used.

You'll then just have the hassle of reinstalling the games and downloading all their updates.
