PlayStation 4 Console Thread

There will be an accessibility option to globally remap the controller buttons which is going to be amazing for people with mobility issues or simply deeply unorthodox controller preferences.

Also 60fps remote play to Vita sounds neat.

Trophy Improvements: We have received a tonne of feedback to improve Trophies. In “Yukimura”, a screenshot will automatically be captured at the moment a Trophy is earned, making it easier than ever for you to share your greatest gaming moments with your friends. We’re also adding more sorting options along with the new ability to remove games from the Trophy list that have 0% completion.

That's quite nice. Obviously it could result in a bunch of unwanted screenshots (like those useless "Welcome to (Game Name)!" trophies), and the moment captured might not be as impressive as the bits directly before or after, but I sometimes scramble to the screenshot button when nice stuff happens anyway, so this suits me.

If it's as hyper active as fucking FIFA 14 and the gameclips videos being saved then it's going to be a pain. It was used quite ruthlessly I felt by EA to spam your feed.

[MW_Jimmy]

Having lots of screenshot captures isn't nearly as bad as having a load of 30 second clips.

I think this is being done because when you record footage on PS4 it doesn't record the toasts, therefore this will allow you to share the trophies unlocking.

I am not sure how useful it will be - barely anything is 60fps on the PS4 and even where it is (fps) the controls are pretty awful and the input lag is by far the biggest issue.

I would happily buy a new vita with matched control input count, even a less portable one with decent sticks!

Just upgraded my Hard drive to 2 TB on PS4. Installing Games and Downloading updates. Fun times. (22 games)

Which drive did you get? I'm considering doing the same because I keep having to manage my space!

I put in the Seagate mentioned in this article, which I believe someone here also recommended.

[max renn]

anyone know where there's a good deal on PS4? It's time...

[jonamok]

Presume there will be a Bloodborne pack in the next week? Might be worth waiting for that - assuming that's prompting your joining #TeamCerny.

[Guest]

Whatever happened to Cerny anyway? He was all over the place at the reveal, but he's gone quiet lately.

[cubik]

He's working hard on Knack 2 : Electric Boogaloo.

[HarryBizzle]

He was the system architect, so he was wheeled out at launch to talk up the system. Now it's out and the hardware isn't changing, there's nothing left for him to say.

"As system architect I was done the day it shipped," he said.

He went to work on an indie game.

Pretty cool. I haven't seen it work on Xbox One, so it's new to me.

https://vid.me/z5Mm - skip to about 3:50 to see the new accessibility stuff. Closed captions and stuff like that is a fantastic idea. Would be great to see MS follow suit.

I'm on a shared Internet connection and downstairs they've switched the (Virgin Media) router to 5ghz. Now neither the PS4 or Vita can find the wi-fi signal. Is this a known issue?

[Petrousgyre]

A known issue in as much as neither support 5GHz.

[Monkeyspill]

Bugger! Now I'll have to try to convince them to switch it back.

[HarryBizzle]

If it's one of their Fibre connections, the routers they provide usually support both frequencies with two separate SSIDs.

[Monkeyspill]

I can see the 2Ghz signal on my iPad (but I can't connect)- PS4 can't even find it anymore.

Jamestown+, an upgraded version of the acclaimed PC shooter, is out this week, shmup fans!

"Private" beta on the way.

*edit* Beaten by a minute! Curse you JohnC!

[TehStu]

Was on the US beta. It's pretty good, but I can't justify the cost. If I had more time, it may be worth the $20 a month for subscription access.

[Yoshimax]

PS understand

Fucking Hell

[spatular]

is this an official add? if so jamestown should have 10% off. but it doesn't. obviously want to buy it now but also don't want to miss out on discount. disaster.

[Ferine]

It's an ad for a US promotion.
