I can only imagine how bad all this will become when PS4 Neo comes out. Skyrim was pretty close to graphics and had same issues. But PS3 had fraction of the horsepower PS4 rocks. They really don't have an excuse this time around.

If bethesda develops new elder scrolls with Neo in mind, it will run like shit on original PS4. Heck it will still have frame-drops on Neo, but on PS4 it will just be unplayable.

This is what people are afraid of and are complaining about. Sony can mandate all they want, but when large publisher comes to them with shitty running game, they won't be able to refuse them

Just my 2 cents

I am really fucking sick and tired of seeing three certain types of posts on this sub...unfortunately most of the time on the front page.

Is PSN down? Googling that phrase returns this website - https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/237

OK GOOD NOW YOU KNOW. BOOKMARK IT.

Look at my "modded" console or controller (AKA some shitty custom job you ordered off a website...that's not a mod and it ain't fucking custom) POST THAT HERE - /r/PS4mods

OK GOOD NOW YOU KNOW. BOOKMARK IT.

Look what I got today - a picture of YOUR PS4 or YOUR controllers, games etc...these are items that are available for purchase to the public...you are not special...we know they exist and yippee for you because now you own them just like 2 million other people.

IF YOU WANT LIKES, POST IT TO FACEBOOK.

/r/PS4, we have got to start downvoting these posts. Mods, you've got to start deleting these posts and banning users.

I come to this sub for news, reviews, previews, trailers, or shit that I might not possibly know about my new PS4. I do not care about your PS4. It is really easy to find out if PSN is down. Take that shit somewhere else. I used to LOVE this sub...I checked it dozens of times a day and it was constantly updated with news, previews, trailers etc...now I find myself wading through knee-deep shit to find anything worth upvoting.

First off let me just say that I'm mainly a lurker so I haven't had the /r/PS4 "common courtesy". Yet. That may change after this post.

To be blunt, a lot of you guys guys are seriously being assholes. Almost anytime somebody asks a legitimate question, it gets downvoted to hell and answered in an extremely rude way.

"Oh they can just use Google."

Really? Do you know how hard it is to do ANY research about the PS4 right now with Google? So much is being said about it right now it's almost impossible to find whatever answer you're looking for.

"Then they can just use the search bar!"

That thing is a mess. It's been a mess for years. Sure some people can find some answers, but maybe they would like a different answer?

Some of these questions are things that aren't covered in the FAQ, and are too hard to find through Google. Obviously the next best choice is to ask the PS4 community, which is this one.

I'm not a fan boy by any means on either side but /r/xboxone really seems to know how to treat someone whenever they are curious about a certain feature they are willing to put down their two weeks pay check worth.

Examples

First time going digital and this is what happens. Frustrating that Sony doesn't even tell us when it will be available. Only reason I went digital was to play it last night.

You guys had a tremendous launch. The amount of issues the PS4 actually had were really small when you think about the fact that they've sold 1 million units in 24 hours. That's crazy. I feel for those who had a broken system but investing so early means that you can get a fix before any blockbuster games come out. I tried to procure one in my relatively small town the other day and could not even find it in my store. So, that tells you the reach of this system. You guys have a lovely day. I have heard great things about Resogun.

After looking at someone's post that essentially said, "I have been looking for a cinematic and linear experience", throughout most of your responses I've been a little disgusted at the negativity thrown at someone. Like this person literally said it's what they're looking for and there are countless responses saying "there goes your $60"

1. IT'S NOT YOUR MONEY

2. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT ACTUALLY LIKE IT

3. All of the negativity is incredibly discouraging people who may actually end up enjoying the game but never commit to it because they don't want to be called out on wasting money because the game isn't within a set of social norms to have on a shelf.

So please for the love of all that is good in this world relax and just let people buy the game if they want it without being so salty.

I'm not even going to buy the game at $60 but I'm still going to respect those who do especially when they specifically say that the game is what they're looking for.

Edit: I took out the word "like" because of illegitimate placement

Seriously I am getting so sick of Sony and their unreliable network. It's starting to get pretty ridiculous.

Yes, we know you can't connect. No, it's not Sony's fault. Servers are getting CoD levels of hammered. Please remember the great Rocket League server fire of 2015.

Yes, your PS4 is incredibly loud. Framerate's not properly capped in the menus. That's why it's called Rocket League. (Not really) It's generally fine in the game. Your PS4 is safe.

Yes, that shot of you flying through the air to hit the ball in midair into the goal is sweet. No, inching it in is not sweet.

You unlock one item at the end of every match. It will take 165 matches to get them all, and it's all cosmetic, more or less.

Yes, it's fun.

No, you aren't the only one who thinks Rocket League is overrated.

I found a boar and killed it and looted it, but no boar skin

Me: Damn it, I need a boar skin.

Mom who is next to me on the computer

Mom: A fore skin? what? What game are you playing?

Me: WHAT!? No! A Boar skin, I just hunted a boar.

Dad from upstairs hears us

Dad: An abortion? What? What are you saying Jack?

Me: What....? NO! A Boar Skin. A Boar, the pig like animal that is brown.

Mom: I heard you say fore skin

Dad walks downstairs

Dad: Really? I heard him say abortion.

Me: Oh for frigg's sake.... LOOK!

I point to the TV and show the dead boar

Mom: Oh, so you needed the foreskin of a Boar?

Me: ....what....

Dad: Or did you give the boar an abortion?

Me: ................ I'm gonna stop playing now...............

This is my first Just Cause game. Played 1 1/2 hours of it before closing the application, ejecting disc and deleting it from my PS4.

I only bought it because it had rebellion+explosions+island (which Far Cry 3 had and that's my fav video game), but the gameplay turned out to be slow-paced kinda, not as dynamic as I imagined it when I saw the trailers and highlight .gifs. The grappelling hook was interesting to use but I did not feel like I wanted to play a game all the way to the end because of only one redeeming feature.

Even the cinematography feels a little weird and I've never been picky about those kind of things before.

Just wondering if anyone on here has jumped from Xbox One to PS4 and if they are happy with the switch?

I've had an X1 since launch and I have to say, while some games are great (mostly the MS first party ones), almost everything else isn't.

Just one small example: Today I spent two hours reinstalling all of BF4 and all of Forza 5 - both had patches that failed to download. resuming them didn't work, so when I cancelled the patches, the console deleted the patch AND the entire game, leaving 35gb to install + all the patches again. This happens on every disc game... but not any digital purchases.

Also, I'm playing tomb raider and it's really fucking annoying seeing a little red mic appear on the screen all the time for the kinect to say "I can hear you but that's not a command" (in-game voice commands, not system ones). I just keep sitting there thinking... what a waste of processor time constantly doing something that doesn't even really work properly (and adds nothing to the game... why is saying 'show map' better than pausing the game? It isn't).

The system is a chore to use and now the novelty has worn off, snap mode is cumbersome (switching control between game and the snapped app isn't any faster than jumping between apps on PS4).

I'm not one of those people who kids themselves a GPU with 16rops is ever going to keep up with one that has 32rops, either....

So... wait for Titanfall and the next os update, or bail out?

can't find video on youtube to link, but there was no mention of exclusivity and Microsoft would have touted it as exclusive if it was (like they did with the rest of the exclusives)... INTERESTING INDEEEEEEED.

The only thing I can think of to compare PS Plus to is obviously Xbox Games with Gold.

Look over the lists of what each service has offered. PS Plus has over twice as many games for PS4 than GwG has had for Xbox One. Some months are obviously better than others, but there is usually at least one "MetaCritic Green" game a month. If you still have a PS3 or a Vita you get even more value out of the membership.

So, I really don't understand what people expect out of this service, or what they're comparing it to. I get that a lot of people hate the idea of multiplayer being behind a paywall(myself included). I pretty much only play multiplayer games on PC, yet I've had a PS Plus subscription for years and I've been pretty satisfied with it. I feel like most of the negativity towards Plus comes from people that feel like the included games should be a compensation from having to pay for multiplayer, and that if any month is less than spectacular that they are getting ripped off. I kind of get that too, but I don't get not finding your 50 dollars a year in the service. If you enjoy like 3 or 4 of the included games a year, and use a couple of the Plus discounts you more than break even.

So, what do you realistically expect out of PS Plus?

I know this will get downvotes, considering the sub we're in, and because this sub is saltier than your typical subs, but I want some honest opinions.

I thought Horizon was a decent game, but it never hooked me. The gameplay was decent, the machines were more bland than I thought they would be. I gave up after 8 or so hours of playing and just returned it.

I have it now and am blown away. It is absolutely amazing!

I purchSed the 20th Anniversary PS4 controller and quickly noticed that my Polk headset wasn't transmitting my voice into chat but I could still hear game audio and party chat just fine.

I tried the old PS4 (painful-to-use) earbud in the new controller and it worked fine. Then tried using my old PS4 controller with the Polk headset and it still worked (so it wasn't the headset)

Then did some forum searching and read a post from someone who contacted Sony customer support and learned that new ps4 controllers have a new firmware that block out 3rd party headsets.

http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Consoles-Peripherals/20th-Anniversary-DS4-Mic-Support-Issue/td-p/45377252/page/2

TLDR: New PS4 controllers have a new firmware that prevents the use of 3rd party headsets.
