PlayStation 4 Console Thread

Can I charge PS4 pad on back of my computer instead of PS4 ?

[Adrock]

Yeah you can, but I don't think you can use it whilst it's plugged in to a PC.

[Adrock]

Does anyone know if the Taken King bundles (with the 500GB black console) contain the new quieter machines?

They do contain the new matte black version. I have one myself.

And already we've had his iPad not working unless he painstakingly kills every app immediately after using, and this power charging debacle. What a guy!

i know someone like this who runs a small business and I got a laptop setup for them and did some basic IT support for them.

The unbelievable stuff they ring up about. Oh yeah windows suddenly switched to Spanish and my keyboard automatically opens excel and deletes onedrive contents if I press alt-gr and spacebar.

I have no clue how they break things so very thoroughly. That cartoon perfectly applies to them

What debacle? It says to use an extension, where in fact it means a socket on the pad itself and not an extension at all!

And the iPad thing is hardly unique to me.

Where can I check when my ps+ runs out. Preferably via my phone.

Check the expiry of any ps+ game you've downloaded, or just check your emails for last time you renewed it.

[gooner4life]

or check services under account management and it will tell you, you do get reminders pop up on the notifications bit on the PS4 though anyway.

It says 'ext' on the pad right under the extension port.

[Not Thread Owner]

But since I never even knew the port existed, I didn't know that, did I.

[Stanley]

Haha!

You posted his name three times, if you don't cover up all the mirrors in your house he'll come climbing out of one to claim your soul.

I started watching From Bedrooms To Billions the other day and Bruce Everest was in it. Ruined my entire day.

[jonamok]

So Bruce Everest didn't peak your interest?

[womblingfree]

Bruce Everest

Rest in peace man.

Tech problems could be worse. At least I discovered how to turn the Bone on, the problems start when it does.

Can you use the PS4 pad while using remote pay via the VITA? Trying to play Unchartered and it doesnt really work with without the triggers.

[David Kenny]

The short answer is no. The long answer is you can, but it involves creating a sub account and logging into the Vita with that sub account, and you probably know already switching accounts on the Vita is a pain in the bum.

As I can't find it via search, any recommendation for a replacement hard drive? I'd prefer 2gb but are they a little slow?

I'm still struggling with power options. My PS4 really really hates rest mode. When coming out of rest mode it refuses to connect to the Internet and often glitches up with notifications all over the screen and icons and won't open anything. It was never this bad before. Might the last OS update have fucked it up?

I remember my original 360 having something similar after an update. I struggled with it for months before another update put it right.

I upgraded to the 2TB Seagate and haven't noticed any performance issues at all.

Wired or wireless?

Ugh, not sure if anyone remembers but when MGSV came out I 'purchased' about 8 copies of it. Eventually only 1 went through as they kept getting candled but unknowingly one stayed in my checkout on the European store (The MGSV purchase that went through was via the American store). Last night I purchased Minecraft Storymode in a rush and didn't realise that MGS was in the cart too so have purchased it again. Got bored of Minecraft after a hour too There is no hope of a refund is there? I wish the store would realise what you have installed in the past and not let you purchase something that you have previously installed without a warning of some kind.

[cohen205]

I think you are going to have a fight on your hands to get a refund, i'm afraid.

[Timmo]

Call and say you've bought it twice in error on different stores. Doubt they'll do anything but worth a try. They'll probably ban you for using a store outside of where you live.

[Minion]

Yeah I could imagine them banning your US account at least, seems risky to me

[Pob]

I knew it'd end in tears. He didn't even like the game in the end!

Furi announced for PS4

At the time I was a junior designer for a big videogame company. Indie development hadn’t really taken off yet, so the idea of making my own console game was nothing more than a pipe dream. But the person travelling with me asked me what I would do if I could make my dream game, and I told him about this game that would be one long boss fight. A boss fight against an opponent similar to you, not a gigantic creature or a demon. A boss fight that felt like a duel— a tense, exhausting, and utterly rewarding duel.

That looks pretty awesome and duelling games are always fun

Wireless.

Looks fantastic and has a really nice 90s CGI vibe to it, which makes it feel all the more unsettling and strange. Keeping an eye on this.
