Is Marvel Heroes Omega Worth Playing?

Hi guys, so I've played the previous marvel dungeon crawling games like xmen Legends 2 on the psp (which is one of my all time favorite games) and marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on the 360 and was wondering if marvel heroes omega is worth playing or not? Im a bit skeptical going in since its a Free to play game and 99% of them end up being annoying because of micro transactions for every thing worth having.

So feel free to share your personal opinions on the game guys.



"I found you through the psn search" Has anyone received messages from someone you never met online and said that?

I just got a message from the user jaquelintart asking about my age and stuff. Saying she wanted to talk to strangers cause she was bored. Never happened to me through psn but it looked fishy and I blocked her.



How forgiving is Resident Evil?

Hey guys,

LOVED Re7 and am now eager to give the original Resident Evil's HD remaster a shot, but have heard that it can be quite unforgiving and that it's actually possible to screw up bad enough to make your playthrough impossible to complete.

I like challenging games, but only when they are fair and are somewhat intuitive (never willing to use guides).

Is what I've read true? What would I be getting myself into going through this blind? I appreciate your responses :)

EDIT: Several have said they've played it blind and had no issues, I'll have to get it!



My PS4 just completely crashed twice

The first time I was watching some Hulu when it went all black and had the loading screen to make sure no data was corrupt (same one you get when you unplug ps4). Never happened before but I figured nothing of it, I went back to Hulu and as soon as I was turning my show on it crashed again, the whole PS4. Anybody know what is causing this?



Removing Account Question

Hello!

This might be a dumb question, but I am still asking to be sure. I'm house/dog sitting for a friend and she's letting me use her PS4 while she's gone. When I remove my account from her PS4 will it remove all of my game data? Also, will whatever progress I have made in game be deleted since it wasn't on my PS4?

Thank you for bearing with my ignorance lol.



Thoughts on Mass Effect Andromeda

I recently picked up Mass Effect Andromeda since it was and still is $20. I've read all of the reviews, so I went in with little to no expectations. I'm glad I did, too. I never got the chance to play the original trilogy last generation, so in terms of comparison, I can't do that. With that said, I'm having a blast. Though I'm only three hours in, the game is scratching an itch I've had for a while -- finding a gaming world that genuinely holds my attention and is quite immersive. The game has plenty of flaws (character animation, buggy, the gunplay), but it also succeeds in many ways. I'm glad I purchased it.

Also, quick question - Due to the overall flop of the game with sells and reviews, do you think BioWare will finally decide to remaster the trilogy? I know they've stated it wasn't going to happen, but I think it would be beneficial since Andromeda didn't succeed as much as they hoped for; a remaster could potentially drive more sells towards Andromeda.



Ratchet and Clank was the most fun I had for the PS4. Is there any plans for a sequel?

It was really fun, really funny at times. Plus the plat is very doable. 2 or 3 playthroughs at most.



Until Dawn is so good

That is all. I remember being curious about this game at release. I'm kind of love/hate that I didn't play this sooner. After a handful of crappy months the past couple months of PS+ games have been so good

Bf1 players , is there no one play TSNP anymore?

There's literally only me every time I want to play TSNP but everything is fine with the old maps .



Why Knack worked as intended therefore it's genius.

I know a lot of gamers hated on Knack. I understand the reasons and mostly agree with the flaws. What I want to point out is this:

I am a dad and have two boys (5 and 3). When Mark Cerny presented Knack he said this was a game intended for kids to learn to play and get into games. They even showed how they made a huge Dualshock 4 to simulate how a 4 year old might hold a Dualshock 4 and what buttons were more accessible for little hands.

I just want to share how my 5 year old got started with Knack when he was 3. Now he's into Infamous, Batman and Spiderman. He's also completed games like Tearaway and enjoys the LEGO games. My 3 year old is now starting to get into video games and he's starting with Knack. They really love the Knack character and the way relics work. They love the robots, goblins and even the repetition of it.

I personally can't wait for Knack 2 to play it with my 5 year old. It's going to be a blast.

Edits: grammar and words.

Edit: ok for people worried about my 5 year old playing infamous, he only plays free roam as he enjoys using the powers. I told him not to hurt pedestrians and also to not kill bad guys only subdue them. He listened and he has fun.

Good PS4 Earbuds

Does anybody know some good earbuds for the ps4? I like using the ones that came with the system but mine broke. I want a more durable one. I don't like the intra auricular ones, and headphones give me a headache after 1 hour + of gaming.



Left bumper on Dualshock 4 Fell Out, Advice would be hepful

Figured out how to put it back in but it is very loose and wobbly, Anyone else experiencing this issue? The controller is definitely out of warranty as it came with my PS4 in 2014



What are the PS4 accessories you can't live without (or just really like)?

I've got some money to spend and was wondering what accessories (headphones, controller chargers, etc) you love? Or how can I call up the Xzibit of Playstation and pimp my PS4?



Horizon Zero Dawn Patch 1.30 Download Size?

I have a very limited data plan and want to start playing HZD. I know a new patch was just released two days ago and wondered if anyone could tell me how big the download is. As far as I know, I have all the previous patches, so would just need this newest one.

Thanks in advance!



[support] might get a Pro in a couple months, is it possible to use the transfer to get PT onto a pro?

I've got an OG ps4 with a 2TB hard drive and I'm looking to transfer all my data to the Pro if I get one.

From what I remember, there was a method you could do that transfers all data to another ps4.

I wanted to see if it Is possible to:

transfer data from OG to the Pro's 1tb hard drive

Remove 2tb hard drive from OG and place original 500gb HDD back inside

Transfer data back into OG onto the 500gb HDD

install the 2tb into the pro and once again transfer data from OG into the newly installed 2tb

reason being is I want to keep my download of PT if possible.

Thanks!



(Question) Seeking a new couch coop game for wife and I :) looking for something recent!

First off, I know this is a common question asked. I apologize, but in a way mine is slightly different. We just spent the last 8 months house hunting and moving. We have done a lot of the couples gaming gauntlet prior to that- borderlands 2, Rayman, jackbox, board games, etc.

We finally nestled into our home, and decided to get Overcooked during the sale a week or two ago. This rekindled her love of gaming , despite nearly ruining our marriage. She says I am aggressively intense and need to relax, and I say WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CHOPPING TOMATOES WHEN NONE OF THE FIVE ORDERS ASK FOR IT AND WE HAVE NO MEAT ON THE GRILL AND SEVEN HEADS OF LETTUCE BOPPIN AROUND THE FLOOR. GAWD.

Now that we have 100% on that peaceful adventure, we want to know what are RECENT games we may have missed out on because our lives got in the way? So the last 8-10 months :)

She is very open to many types of games. She has hesitant on top down shooters, we don't have oodles of time for stories and lore because we have two kids under 5. But we never say never :)

We really appreciate it. Again, I see this question weekly but those are usually open ended " since the inception of the PS4 what are good couch coops" but we are looking for a specific time frame, cuz we have played most things prior.



Help please: Both DS4s died and won't charge. I've tried different outlets/compute/PS4, different cables. I just moved from Denver to NJ. I'm thinking maybe the humidity effected them? They worked for a little while.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.



Does anyone use Kontrol Freaks grips? How are they?

Does anyone use Kontrol Freaks grips? How are they? Thinking about getting them for Overwatch. They seem kinda overpriced tbh.



What happened to The Last of Us...?

I got The Last of Us: Remastered when if first came out. At the time I didn't have PS4, I just wanted to get it for when I decided to upgrade. I recently got one, and as you can see, it's in my purchases. But for some reason, when I select it, it makes me pay for it. Uh... How do I get it? Another World and Driveclub say "download" when I select them.



The "mono headset" is insane to include in the to PS4 Pro package.

Yep, I am spending $400+ to get a dollar store quality headset on a console that won't let me connect bluetooth headphones. I just got a PS4 Pro and would LOVE to use my AirPods for late night gaming or even Spotify....But here are is a mono-headphone.



Looking for headset astro a50?

Hey guys so i want to buy a pair of astro a50s cause they look and apparently the sound is amazing too . I was just wondering do all the generations of astro a50s come with the chat port to plug into my xbox controller as i wanted to use them on my pc ps4 and xbox ? Please help thanks



Track PS4 Console

My PlayStation4 was stolen from my car during the 20 minutes I was parked on the city streets. The only account on the PS4 is my only account on the PSN.. is there any way to track where this is? I'm sure the answer is that I'm without a doubt SOL.. but figured Reddit would be the best chance.



[Help] DS4 won't connect or turn on.

Hey, been experiencing this issue recently I dunno what's going on.
I have three DS4's. Two of them I've had for years and until recently one of them wouldn't charge when plugged into the console. I thought it was the USB cable, but I can plug into any other device and it'll charge. I charged it directly into a wall charger. After I did that the DS4 wouldn't turn on at all. I also bought another used pad from Gamestop and it wouldn't turn on at all either, however both of these still work when I plug them into my PC and Steam recognizes them and I can use them on there. I'm totally confused about what's going on with this.

Was there a recent firmware patch that may have caused some issues or what? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.



Just got back after a week vacation. Turned ps4 on to find dashboard incredibly slow.

The dashboard is lagging like a motherfucker now. When I first turned it on it said ce error. Then it just started lagging constantly.

EDIT: Fixed. It was the wifi. I disconnected and reconnected and it runs better now.

I have a problem with the controller

So I was playing some Witcher when i noticed that the R3(where you control the camera)was acting strange.Later on I did a calibration test and its seems like when I push L3 forward and try to change the camera angle with R3 it keeps spinning the camera even when i dont touch the right analog stick.Has anyone else experienced this?And if so have you found the solution?Thanks!



Watching Castlevania on Netflix, there needs to be a Castlevania RPG Sony.

Please make this happen. never been into the sidescrollers but the world would be perfect for a 3rd person hardcore rpg or arpg.



Is there a way to make the triggers less sensitive?

So far I've been able to put up with accidentally pressing the triggers, but in Batman: Return to Arkham Asylum I accidentally threw a batarang, and it got me killed. Is there a way to lower the sensitivity so it doesn't happen again?



Anyone else get messages and friend requests from complete randoms?

I'm not talking about random players that I've met online because I have literally only been using my ps4 for netflix and a bit of single player stuff the past 2 months. Why would I be getting messages from people if we haven't even met online?



The new Tv & Video tab is really slow

I appreciate the effort to make the TV and Video tab cleaner and easier to navigate, but now it often takes 10-15 seconds to load. Does anyone else have this problem?

[Question] If i disable power to USB in rest mode is it bad for the external HD?

As title. Had to get some USB AC infinity fans cause my PRO is getting loud and hot. So is it bad for my external HD? What happens when I put it into rest mode? I have accidentally pulled the USB for the external out and was met by a message I didn't power it off correctly etc. Would I receive that every time I powered on?



Smaller controller for smaller hands?

I play more Overwatch than I'm proud of and I have a hard time playing lately because I've realized most of my problems stem from having the hands of a 10 year old.

Have any of you opted for a smaller controller or know of one that would function well as a normal ps4 remote?



Looking for a good single player game.

Looking for a new game to play on PS4. I don't pay for PSN so I'm looking for a game I can get hours of entertainment from without online play.

Have played the souls series, gta v, star Dew valley, far cry, dragon ball xenoverse 1, skyrim.

I've played more games just mostly on Xbox



Can you help me find a new game to fall in love with?

I'm shopping for a new main game. Minecraft is my off-game right now. I think I'm possibly looking for a shooter. Here are some criteria:

-Must have online multiplayer(headset communication with team) -I loved Uncharted 4 -I hate 12 year old kids talking trash in the game lobby -Generally get addicted to MMO's like Neverwinter and World of Warcraft

Based on what I've written down, does anything jump out at you? There are just SO many games out there, it's very difficult for me to narrow down what I'd like to try.



A month or so ago I bought a couple things on PSN but didn't get my full purchase.

I bought The Crew Ultimate Edition and Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy Season Pass when they were both on sale but all I got was The Crew base game and the first episode of the season. It's telling me I have to pay for the rest of what I already bought.

I don't want a refund I just want what I actually bought, how can I get this done? Thanks.



Never played a Crash game, should I pick up the N. Sane Trilogy?

I've been a Playstation fan since the PS1, but for some reason, I missed the boat on all the Crash games. Not really sure how, but it is what it is. I'm just curious if the new remasters would be any fun for the uninitiated, or is it more of a nostalgia thing that is the joy in playing these games again? Just curious before I pull the trigger.



What do people mean by 'data transfer'?

I just bought an external hard drive, and i'm currently downloading all my games I had to delete previously now onto my extended storage. Somebody said their data transfer took 25 minutes. With me downloading all these games (20ish games) I think it'll take much longer than that. Is that what people mean by data transfer? Re downloading all your games again?



Best strategy games on PS Now? Any hidden gems?

I just played through Horizon and The Last of us. Loved them both but I need a little break from shooters, I would love suggestions for strategy games on PS now.



[EU] Still No YAKUZA KIWAMI Pre-Order on PlayStation® Store?

So I've been checking the pre-order section on PSN weekly and while games like SONIC MANIA (another SEGA game, also releasing in August) appear YAKUZA does not. It's scheduled for WW release August 29th and I want SEGA to shut up and take my money yen already!



The Playlink game of the month That's you! Is a ton of fun to play with friends. You can play it online or couch co-op.

Try it out. A lot of the stuff that happens is hilarious.



Once again Friday the 13th servers are down

Starting at about 12:00 7/8/2017 the servers went down and no one is receiving XP, nothing yet on when they expect them back up.

This game holds a lot of promise but the mounting issues is getting me worried.



Reminder - Remote Play is a Thing!

Persona 4 Golden is easily my favorite game of all time, and I absolutely loved playing through that game on my Vita. I finally have some time on my hands, so I picked up Persona 5 for PS4. For the first 10 hours or so, I was really enjoying the game, but it was really hard for me to get into it like I did PS4G because I needed to be tethered to my TV to play it. I couldn't play in bed at night, or on the patio, or in the living room while my wife was watching TV. Anyway, it just occured to me a couple of days ago that Remote Play was a thing. I tried it once when I first got my PS4, but it didn't really work great with the game I was playing at the time (GTA V) due to some occasional stutter and input lag. A game like Persona 5 is so much better suited for remote play though, and I have just been having an absolute blast carrying it around with me on my Vita. It's totally bringing back those PS4G vibes.

Just want to point out to those that forgot about this, or who have given up on it, or who haven't tried it, it's a REALLY good feature, particularly for games that are more mellow and aren't super twitchy. Really glad to have it on the PS4!



I'm looking for a Racing game.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a free Racing game, or a Games demo before buying a game. I really liked the Forza series. Do you have games to advise me?

Hi! I'm about to buy PS4 Pro and I need help choosing monitor for it.
I will be playing on my computer table, so I won't be far from monitor (somewhere around 1~1.5m from it). I still don't know if I want 21.5" or 24", so please pick one from each size. Also, if you can say a few word about "why" you picked one or the other - it will be much appreciated.

[Help] I think I have to reinitialize my PS4.

Over the past few weeks I've been having all sorts of problems. Games crashing. My profile being logged out. Having game data get corrupted and having to delete, reinstall and download all updates again, etc.

I've tried doing a safe mode boot and rebuild but that didn't help, so I think this is the next step.

I'm mostly concerned about my save data, which is backed up on ps+ cloud storage. I know I'll have to download all my digital games, and reinstall my physical ones.

What else am I missing? Mostly looking for advice from anyone who has done this before.

Hi there, so my title says it all. Is there a way to just appear offline to certain users instead of everybody? I know all about the appear offline status, but that does it for everyone, looking for a way I could just set which users I appear offline for. Thanks!



Until Dawn is the best "free," PS+ game I've ever played.

I absolutely loved this game. I managed to go this long without spoilers and after reading some spoiler free tips yesterday about the game decided to give it a shot and it was completely worth it.

If you're on the fence about this game I highly suggest you hop off that fence and play this game.

If you decide to play, and it hasn't been spoiled for you yet, I suggest you go out of your way to start the game knowing as little as possible. You won't regret it.



Best couch multiplayer games with replayability?

So I've had this controller for a decent amount of time and all of a sudden today the right analog has a hard time registering when I click it down.

How come you still can't pin tv apps to your home screen?

Every iteration of the tv menu on the PS4 menu have been sub par for speed imo. And it begs the question; why can't we just select apps and pin them to the main home screen, or even rearrange the menu?

Anyone know of a way to do this? Or if you can't, any reasons why?

I need help with a very specific, and unusual NAT issue.

I'm aware there is a rule that you shouldn't post a question that can be Googled. But, Google doesn't seem to have the answer for this one.

I have been having NAT issues with a certain player. When this player joins a party I'm in I always lose connection to the party and I also lose connection to whatever game I'm playing at that time. When I join back I can't hear anyone in the party due to NAT errors and within a couple of seconds I will lose connection again.

This is extra weird because of the fact that I've been friends with this player, and I've spoken to him on a regular basis, for around three years. We also both have a Type 2 NAT and stable internet. I haven't messed with my internet and neither has he. This just came out of nowhere.

I've tried various methods of troubleshooting for this issue. I have restarted my router, my console, I've set a static IP, I've forwarded ports, and I even put my PS4's IP in to my router's DMZ for a short period of time to see if something would change. When I contacted Sony support about this all they had to suggest were methods I had already done. The only thing that I didn't do was swap my NAT to Type 1 because as of now that's a possibility for me.

I really need help with this issue because this person is an integral part of my friend group. And not only can I not talk to him: But, I can't talk to my other friends while he's around either. Does anyone have some sort of idea or fix that I could try? It's very important to me.

Yes, I caved since I had some psn credits. Game is still fun, but what's up with the storage space? I remember seeing that the legacy edition with IW + MW was massive, but this seems insane. It seemed to install with around 30-40 gb but it now takes up 73gb I think. I can't imagine that the mp maps take up that much space but what am I missing?

Looking for a good controller for FPS games on PS4

I've been on PS4 for a couple months now and the one thing I'm missing most is using my Xbox elite controller. I've heard there are converters like the Brooks and the Cronus but I hear using my current Xbox headset won't work with it. It's a turtle beach that has and adapted you plug in the controller and than you plug the headset into the adapter. Best of my knowledge this won't work.

I've also tried a buddies Nacon controller but something feels off about it. I don't like the triggers on it at all and there's no trigger stops. You have to finely configure it on the PC to mimic it. The Razer isn't sold in the US so that's not an option and i hear its overpriced. Scuf has a rep for being cheaply built. Don't know how the new ones are.

I'm currently using my DS4 that came with my console and use bumper jumper in games like destiny. It takes a bit getting used to it but it's working out alright. I had to switch the O to R3 so I can slide around in the PS4 button mapping settings. Any tips or recommendations would be great.

TLDR; what's your controller setup recommendations for a PS4? I have a Xbox elite but don't know how to properly configure it with voice chat.



What does everyone want to see in Firmware Update 5.00?

Notification pop up on ps4 color

hi, so I've noticed on some videos the notification icon on the top left of a screen (this is the notif when you get a trophy or a friend goes online) is a dark blue, while mine is white. how do I change that?



PSA: I started getting the emails again that randomly stopped sometime in February.

So like the title says I got the last 2 weekly emails, Wednesday and Friday I believe. I was in account settings messing around when I noticed I only had 1 box checked which was to receive them but didn't have the box for partner emails checked. So I checked it and honestly wasn't expecting it to change anything but it worked. So I figured id share that info, I also have the email address saved in my gmail contacts.

Battlefront Season Pass won't install. Already googled tips. Please help.

I just got a PS4, so I'm not totally familiar with everything.

So, I got the $10 Battlefront with DLCs included, the game downloads, and then there are two separate things that need downloading, one that is the Season Pass. The other download and installs fine (I guess, I don't really remember what it is), but the Season Pass will download and install, but when I go to the game, all the DLCs are inaccessible. The maps packs try to take me to the Store, where it says "Installed". But I can't access them. I've tried multiple different ways of fixing it, including deleting and reinstalling the entire game.

Please help.

Before upgrading from my launch PS4 to a Pro, whenever I would turn off my TV, my PS4 would go into rest mode automatically. Now turning off my TV will not shut down the Pro, even though the HDMI control settings on both my TV and Pro are enabled.

Anybody else have this issue?



I need help with the PS4 store and Assassin's Creed Black Flag Gold Edition.

My question was that the Gold edition is not sold on Europe (there are other editions, but not as complete), where I'm from, so I would like to know if there was a way of getting it? I had thought about making another account and setting Americas (it is sold in this region) as the region, buying it from that account, activating and installing it, logging off that account switch to my main one, and playing it from my main one? (And playing all of the content that way) Or if there is anyother way please do tell. Thanks in advance!



Hitman: 'Requiem Bloody Money Pack' code not working...?

I recently bought the steel book edition of Hitman, the complete first season, which came with downloadable content, but I've never known a code to have this kind of format.

Obviously, standard codes are twelve digits, however this code is six letters, dash, three numbers, dash, six letters, dash, three numbers.

I've tried every possible combination and it isn't working. Am I being stupid? Has anyone else had this problem?

Does the Uncharted: The Lost Legacy only come with the first Jak game?

From what I've been reading they made it seem like you would be getting the trilogy for pre ordering, however from the PS store it is looking like it only comes with the first game.

Unless I'm missing it, is there any confirmation on this? It could just be bad wording from articles that got me confused. I suppose it would make more sense from a business perspective to only include the first game with the bundle as opposed to the whole trilogy.

Sound Shapes™ Ultimate Bundle Arabic language

I bought Sound Shapes™ Ultimate Bundle from psn Kuwait store http://ift.tt/2sB6B78 . It says in the store that it has Arabic language and that was a major factor that I bought it but after I downloaded it, it runs in English although my system language is Arabic. It doesn't have options to change the language. It seems it is a mistake on their part. I am really disappointed.

Can I use a partitioned USB drive as extended storage?

I already have a backup USB 3.0 drive that I use for PC backup purposes. Can I create a 250+ GB partition on the drive and format that partition on my PS4 to use as extended storage, or will the PS4 reformat the whole drive?



Issue with online content and sub users.

My husband and I have a PS4. I'm doing my own playthrough of a game that has additional online content and can't seem to get it to work.

I'm able to access the DLC he bought through his User, but on my User I get "network error" when starting up the Timed Quests in FFXV.

I did some searching and am hearing conflicting fixes. So far I've made the PS4 the primary PS4 from his User. I haven't made a new Playstation email account yet - can someone explain how if I did this the DLC would be shared between our two accounts? Or, for example, if I bought a game or got a PSN subscription on my account, he would have access to it?

Honestly, this all seems pretty convoluted. I've also read that people that setup a kid account for their children were able to grant their kids access to online content without having to make an email account for them.

Please help.



Considering trading my PS4 towards a Pro... What do I need to do before I hand it over?

[Help] USB Headset (Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma) No Longer Working

When I fired up my PS4 today, expecting to get to diamond in Overwatch, I found a small problem that'd be a nuisance when attempting to tell someone they're not Seagull. My headset stopped working. For those who don't know, The Razer kraken 7.1 chroma is a USB headset. For those wondering if it's both USB ports, it is. The problem isn't fully the headset's fault either because it works perfectly on my PC. I also have the Nacon Revolution Pro as my controller, and it works flawlessly. If there's anyone out there who can suggest anything other than sending it into Sony or blowing in the ports, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Can't find That's You on the UAE PS Store

Hello guys,

I have 2 accounts, one is French and one is UAE with a PS+ Subscription.

Is it really not available on UAE ?



Help: question about external HDD.

Hello, I just get a new external Hdd for my PS4 and I have a few questions about it, so if someone can help:

  • When I've instaled the HDD can I move the instaled game on it, or should I un-instal them and re-instal them on the HDD?

  • Can I unplug the HDD without any risks (console off, of course) or should I let it plugged all time? I explain myself:

The goal to me is to instal huge game on the HDD, and to plug it only when I want to play those games, while all DL game only or small games will stay on the HDD on the console.

The question is more will the console "bug" or malfonction, if it has game on the external drive, and the said drive not plugged. Of course you won't be able to launch those game but will the console works fine, or will she have troubles search the games/icons on the menu? such kind of trouble...

Thanks for the help.

Slow Download Speeds at the Moment

(Question) Ps2 Games on Ps4

Hi. So I have a question, how exactly ps2 games works on psn/ps4? I just recently saw there's a list on the ps4 store, I didn't even notice before. I'm asking this because I also have a Xbox One and I'm a huge fan of the Backwards Compatibility feature, but unfortunately there is some games that I will never gonna be able to play using BC, like Silent Hill 3 or 2 (maybe 2 with the OG BC), but anyway, how often this list is "updated"? Also, english is not my first language, so.. Yeah, sorry for possible mistakes



[SUPPORT] PS4 router/LAN problem

Once i installed the new router, a a linksys AC1900 max-stream router, my wireless speeds doubled. Great news.

But, now i can't get my ps4 or xbox one connect to their respective networks, both of which are hard connected to the router via ethernet. They both worked using lan with the old wireless router and stopped working once i switched routers. So i'm stuck in the position where I know the internet is working, but something is blocking my consoles' access to their networks. Basically, both consoles show that they are connected via LAN and have an internet connection, but won't connect to their respective networks. I should also note that both systems can connect to the internet via wireless and when i do that i can access playstation network/xbox live.

When i access my linksys wireless system, where it shows what devices are connected, it even shows that the ps4 iand xbox are connected devices.

Finally, I spent over an hour on the phone with linksys to no avail. The guy gave up on me. I've opened all the ports through port triggering for both xbox and PS4. Nothing. This is infuriating. I'm at witt's end here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is what i get when i try to test my internet connection:

If you love couch multiplayer, then you should try Stikbold!

It is basically a dodgeball game, in which there are different stage, and different obstacles specific to each stage. You can play it in teams or free for all mode or there are mini-games ( which are similar to crash bash / mario party type of games). The game doesn't have online.

I am writing this now because I never knew about this game Till recently, I saw it on sale ( mid year sales) it is currently $2.99 if you are using US PSN.

if you are into couch multiplayer , then this game is a must.

I have an issue with updates.

So I don't tend to update games unless I really need to or really want to because I have limited internet. When I got Black Ops 3 I had to update to get split screen multiplayer and eventually I got all the DLC and updated them at my friends house.

Today when I tried to launch it because a friend came over and we wanted to play. It said I needed to update the game to access it. Normally I could just skip the update and play anyway as an option. When I checked the games info it said it was back on version 1.0 Any idea what may have caused this? Also is there a way to backup just a single game in case this happens again?

I can probably get it updated at a friends house again but it will take days with our internet speed

Possible heat damage?

Hi guys, so I took my PS4 with me across State and in doing so, it was in the trunk of my car, in my bag, in high 90's weather for a solid 12 hours.

However, my PS4 has the Nyko Databank and has a 2 TB SSHD drive.

When I got to my destination I took my PS4 out and when I hooked it up, it got to the standard welcome animation, but when it was going to show the main Hub area, it froze. Auto restarted and then said last time it wasn't turned off properly and the usual warning about rebuilding database.

It did this again two more times before working, and when it worked, it was for afew seconds then froze up again And got an error, except it said an error occured in the system software.

So my question is, is my PS4 fucked or is it the SSHD? If it's the PS4 that's gonna be a costly fix. But if it's my SSHD, it's still under warranty and I can get it replaced.

What'd you guys think? I still have my old 500 Gb Hard drive in a drawer, I literally replaced it and then didn't touch it again so it's still running PS 4.5 and hasn't been touched since I took it out. If I put it in, would it work like normal but just need to be updated? Or will it make me format it ?



PS4 controller buttons functioning incorrectly. They act like shortcuts for Windows 10. Not sure how to fix.

So I got DS4 Windows and it's been great for a while. I haven't used my controller on my pc in a while and there have been several updates. Recently, my ps4 controller responds weirdly to button presses.

Examples are that when I press the R3 or L3 buttons, windows does the equivalent of pressing Left Ctrl+Tab (which at least on windows 10 is basically a quick task view thing). If I move the right stick, it moves my mouse cursor. If I press Options (Ps4's start button) it pulls up the start menu.

It does all of these even in a game, and weirdly it does it when DS4 windows isn't even open, so I think it's more of a problem with some sort of update with Windows 10 or something.

I'm wondering if anyone has had the same issue or knows how to help. I have tried options in DS4 windows, I've tried looking at the controller in Control Panel under "Set up USB game controllers" where the set up was weird even in there, but I couldn't really fix it.

Thank you in advance for any help!



Spilled beer on my controller, won't charge!

First off I am aware I am an idiot and a drunken fool and I have learned my lesson. So I spilled beer on my controller and immediately set about drying it and didn't even bother to turn it on. I left it to dry for a week and I've got the itch for some bloodborne and it won't charge. It flashes and then it dies. If I plug it in I get no charge and it won't work and the USB cable and port work fine for charging my phone so I don't know what to do? I got a small screwdriver and 70% isopropyl alcohol, should I get to work scrubbing it? Do I clean the motherboard too? This is my Darth Vader controller and if possible I'd like to salvage it!

External drive oddity / questions.

Long story short, I've temporarily been lent a SSD to try out for a bit. I don't think it's working as well as it should.

  1. The drive is a WD My Passport 512GB SSD. I've hooked it up to the PS4, formatted, and moved a couple of games over there. I don't really see a performance increase. The main game I was testing the SSD for, Final Fantasy XIV, didn't seem like the SSD did anything at all for it. 39 seconds to load into a populated hub with the SSD. Same amount of time for the 2 TB HDD I have in the system internally. That seems wrong. YouTube videos show a large performance gain in load times on this game. I'm not seeing them. Is this drive just terrible?

  2. When I turn the PS4 on, it thinks the drive is not connected. There's no switch I hit on it or anything like that when I turned the PS4 off. Each time I turn the PS4 on, I have to unplug the USB cable and then connect it again to register the drive. Is that normal for externals on the PS4? Is there a way to work around it?

Thanks.

Account Banned For No Reason [WS-37368-7 PSN Error Code]

Hello everybody,

I tried opening my PS4 today only to be greeted by this "WS-37368-7" error telling me my account has been banned.

I haven't played my PS4 since Tuesday (July 4, 2017) when I was playing some Killing Floor 2 with my friends. After that, I haven't actually opened it.

On Thursday (yesterday - July 6, 2017), I logged onto PSN from my computer to buy Shadow of Mordor for $5. My PS4 was on rest mode so I selected for the game to start downloading.

I open my PS4 today and see Shadow of Mordor on my menu, but with a lock on it. I try to open the game and get prompted to log into the PS Store. When I did, I got this WS-37368-7 error telling me my account was banned.

I bought a whole year of PS Plus just last week for $60, purchased Ratchet and Clank, and more recently Shadow of Mordor. Now I have access to none of it and I'm not sure what to do or who to contact.

The PSN help page basically says they research these thoroughly before issuing them and that if you get one you are basically stuck with it. I literally didn't even have my PS4 open during the time I was allegedly banned, so I have no idea what caused this and what should I do.

Has anyone here been banned like this for no apparent reason? If so, could someone point me as to what I should do or who to contact?

EDIT: I visited this page: http://ift.tt/2ttgAyA

It says "Please check the e-mail account associated with the account for further information." but I have no e-mail about the ban. My last e-mail is a receipt confirming my purchase of Shadow of Mordor. I'm not sure what is going on right now.

[Problem] We have to reconnect to the Internet every time we turn on the Pro

We got a PlayStation 4 Pro from Amazon about a week ago. Every time we boot up the system, we get:

"Cannot connect to network (error NW-31298-3)."

I called Sony and they said to call TP-Link, my router. They said they was nothing wrong with the router, as all my other electronics are working fine. I can't use FoxFi as a hotspot because I don't have an unlimited data plan. The WPA password is correct.

No other gaming console, like the Xbox One S or the PlayStation 3 is giving us the same problem. Spectrum added the port numbers to the "Port Triggering" aspect of my router.

How can we fix this? Thank you.

Should this Audio Setup work like that?

Okay so my TV only got a Headphone / Speaker Slot and my PS doesnt have an Optical Output. Ive read online that I needed a Adapter to connect it all I got my Standard Speakers with the Green and Black Cables (excuse my non-existent Knowledge) . This is the Adapter I found: http://ift.tt/2szU0RH this one. Is this one good? My Idea was to Connect this to the PS4 and the other end into my Speakers and then my Speakers to my TV. I dont know if it works like that tho.

Can anyone give me some insight and maybe recommend me something which isnt more expensive than this setup?

Edit: I noticed that this Adapter is not for 4k (PS4 Slim) I got a Slim should I rather take this one then? http://ift.tt/2tSLyAV it may be in German if so im sorry you can change the Language to EN.



PS4 share not working all of a sudden?

Navigating to HDCP on 4.71 (no picture)

Bone-headedly removed the HDMI cable from another powered console to my already powered PS4 and, surprise, I get a very intermittent signal with no picture. The TV is a heap with a lost remote so no way to hard reset as far as I know (and I looked pretty hard for documentation). I've tried both HDMI cables plugged in to the TV and though both work with the other console, I still get no picture on the PS4. I can still get sound through headphones on the DS4 so I was thinking I can go to the menu and try to troubleshoot without moving everything between me and the back of the TV which is something I'd prefer to avoid (besides, I'd have to connect to another TV which is beyond my means at the moment).

I figure disabling HDCP is the first thing I should try so if someone could take screenshots/photos or direct me on directional presses from account log-in to HDCP I'd be very grateful. I'd also appreciate input on other things I should try before asking Sony about my warranty.

Just to be clear, I've already tried other cables and power cycled the TV and the PS4. I even tried the PS4 recovery mode, but nothing shows up. I'm more willing to believe the ancient TV is at fault, but it's all I got right now, y'know?

I just got harassed on PSN after a match of Overwatch, after losing, 3 teamates decided to spam me game invites. But only one of them sent a message calling me "thrash". Is there a way to report "invite" spam?

I was playing Overwatch competitive, and I played the chracter "Sombra", something my team didn't like, even though i got "on fire" more than once and had gold eliminations and damage for the 1° half of the match. After losing, 3 of my teamates that were grouped decided to keep spamming me invites, so it blocked my view for dozens of minutes. But only one of them went further and sent a message calling me "thrash", I know I can easily report him, but what about the others? It is pretty annoying that you can just harass people like that and get no consequence at all.

The LG LH5700 is a possibility but even that is a bit rich for my blood

*Between these options which one's better for gaming? Or is there a better mid-range option for me?

I don't really care about SMART features. What I'm looking for is a 1080p LED TV with low input lag. It's gonna be used for a regular PS4, a Nintendo Switch and Netflix. This TV will also be in my bedroom so I don't really need a massive TV, hell I'd settle for 32" if I could find something good. That's it. I tried looking for the J5003 but it's apparently not available in my country.

Need Help Repairing My PS4

My PS4 stopped working about a month ago and I finally have time to fix it, but I don't know exactly what is wrong with it. When I try to turn it on it lights up beeps and turns off. I attempted several things to fix it already including taking it apart and cleaning it completely and reassembling it and it still doesn't work. Any one know what it could be? I did trying adding washers too and that didn't seem to work either but they weren't neoprene if that matters.



Excavator simulator

Hey all, so I know this is probably a very small niche, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of an excavator simulator or any sim game that would have excavation simulation in it?

My googlfu showed me only power digger but it's for psone.

I need something to practice as the half an hour at lunch time I get in real life is not enough.

Even if it's a sim that can run on a 2011 MacBook pro, as long as I can use my ps4 control or bug a cheap control with twin sticks to play it.

Preferably the game would mimic a real life excavator by using the two analogue sticks according to the 2 sticks in real life.

Thanks for any feedback!



Getting started in ffxiv

Hey guys and gals,

Any help or tips you guys?

Why am I still able to play online?

My account got banned by PlayStation, I got it back easily though. Got another PS4, no user or anything and made a new account, that account had a month free psn. I deleted that account and replaced it with my banned account (like the account isn't even there anymore it's completely wiped) but yet I'm still getting to play all my games online without ps plus? (Battlefield 1 and R6S) anyone know why this is happening?

Gift for a friend in a different region. (question)

What is the most cost efficient way to buy something on PSN for a friend in a different region? I know psn codes are region locked so I'm not sure if buying a code for his region online is the best way or what. Thanks for the help:)



Account Banned For No Reason [WS-37368-7 PSN Error Code]

Hello everybody,

I tried opening my PS4 today only to be greeted by this "WS-37368-7" error telling me my account has been banned.

I haven't played my PS4 since Tuesday (July 4, 2017) when I was playing some Killing Floor 2 with my friends. After that, I haven't actually opened it.

On Thursday (yesterday - July 6, 2017), I logged onto PSN from my computer to buy Shadow of Mordor for $5. My PS4 was on rest mode so I selected for the game to start downloading.

I open my PS4 today and see Shadow of Mordor on my menu, but with a lock on it. I try to open the game and get prompted to log into the PS Store. When I did, I got this WS-37368-7 error telling me my account was banned.

I bought a whole year of PS Plus just last week for $60, purchased Ratchet and Clank, and more recently Shadow of Mordor. Now I have access to none of it and I'm not sure what to do or who to contact.

The PSN help page basically says they research these thoroughly before issuing them and that if you get one you are basically stuck with it. I literally didn't even have my PS4 open during the time I was allegedly banned, so I have no idea what caused this and what should I do.

Has anyone here been banned like this for no apparent reason? If so, could someone point me as to what I should do or who to contact?

EDIT: I visited this page: http://ift.tt/2ttgAyA

It says "Please check the e-mail account associated with the account for further information." but I have no e-mail about the ban. My last e-mail is a receipt confirming my purchase of Shadow of Mordor. I'm not sure what is going on right now.



Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition Looking for someone that can either mod a lobby for an absurd amount of Exp. Or someone that can help me grind a crap ton of Exp in a short time.

I know Alot of people are gona shit post me for this but hear me out, I played dying light when it first came out back on my pc years ago. I loved every min of it. Imo the beat part of that game is being maxed level. Even if i could recover my old dying light save it was on steam. So i ask if there is anyone that can do this to send me a friend request on ps4

UserName: Rjgibson78

If you are able to do this to help me or even if you can power level me please shoot me a message on ps4. If your successful in helping me achieve this and would like something for your troubles we could figure out a proper way for me to say thank you/payment.



Is there anyway to buy a 25$ psn card on amazon?

I redeemed 25$ on Amazon and want to buy 25$ worth of psn credit but I can't only buy increments of 20$ or 30$. Can I enter the amount I want anywhere? This with my 15$ cash back and I can buy wipe out omega collection. Thanks for any help.



So I wanted to get the Nacon, but several months-old complaints have made me doubt the very idea

Are analog stick issues still a thing? And anything I should know before/after I buy it? The thing is, I am worried because the only place I've seen Nacons in, are retail stores and last time I checked they were not very eager to make any refunds or allow you to test the hardware before you buy it. Then again, I find the idea of dumping 100 Euros into something that will be akin to a piece of good-looking plastic is at very least unsettling.



Proper "black level" and "RGB Range" settings for PS4 Pro and LG OLED B6 55, specifically for HDR

So I just got a new LG B6 TV and I've seen MANY arguments about which combination of settings is appropriate when it comes to the PS4 Pro's "RGB Range" setting and the TV's "Black Level" setting. The issue becomes even more confusing when it comes to HDR sources, and I'd really appreciate some advice on what to do.

Based on my own experience I have found the following settings to produce the best image quality.

For SDR content:

RGB Range: Full

TV Black level: High

For HDR content:

RGB Range: Full / Limited / Auto (doesn't seem to matter)

TV Black Level: Low

I chose the above for the following reasons:

Many people seem to insist that you have either full / high or limited / low and never a mix of the two. For SDR this seemed to make sense. When going between Limited / Full / Auto the auto setting always defaults to Full and pairing that with High seems to produce the best image, so between that advice and my own findings I went with that for SDR.

HDR content is where it gets weird. As far as I can tell the RGB Range setting does absolutely NOTHING when it comes to HDR content. In SDR when I switch between limited and full the TV clicks off to readjust and there is a very obvious difference in image quality. When displaying in HDR however there is no such adjustment by the TV nor any discernible difference in image quality. I personally leave it on Full for the sake of convenience when switching back to SDR content, but overall it doesn't seem to matter at all.

When it comes to the TV black level setting however there is an ENORMOUS difference in saturation and black levels between the two options. The "high" setting results in very washed out / unsaturated colors and an extremely "grey" black level on things as basic as the black background on the Naughty Dog / Guerrilla Games / SCEA logos while a game is starting up, whereas the Low setting results in far more saturated colors and a nice deep "OLED black".

In short, these are the settings I'm currently using based on a mix advice from others and personal experience but I'd love to get some advice from the community as to whether I'm doing it right.

PS the "color gamut" setting also seems to be a point of contention. Currently forced to "wide" on the SDR game setting, an set to "normal" on the HDR game setting, but any advice would be appreciated.

If anyone has tips on lowering input latency I welcome that as well.

Thanks!

Need help with recovering a stolen account

Sorry about format as I am on mobile. We also know he shouldn't be playing games like GTA but his parents Sid's my care

Awhile back my little cousin was gifted a PlayStation 4 and he doesn't know much about privacy or safety as he ignores when we talk to him about it. He had an account and someone was saying they could hack him money for his GTA: Online character and my cousin told him the account information and the guy has since changed all the information over to his own. I was wondering if their was any way that I could get his account back as I had boughten him some games and now he cannot access them.

So if anyone can help that would be awesome.



External hard drive - once formatted for the ps4, can you still store other non-ps4 data on it?

Just so happens I need an external hard drive for reasons unrelated to my ps4, as well as for game storage on my ps4. After formatting the external HD for ps4 use, could I then still use it for say pictures from my computer in addition? Or will it than no longer work for the ps4?

PS Now to PS4 multiplayer; is it possible?

My friend and I are in the same building; same room and we're trying to play Borderlands 2 together; I'm on the PC using PS Now and he's on the PS4 but he doesn't have PS Now. Does he also need a PS Now subscription or is it not a thing?



Any real reason to keep peey around? About to trade it in after beating it.

Edit: Prey

I don't collect modern games unless they're Like Elder Scrolls or The Witcher or Zelda, so that's not an issue

Game was good not great 8\10 and I sunk about 25 hours in a after exploring a good amount and beating it. But I don't really see any real replay value unless there's something i'm just not getting.

I was going to trade it in towards injustice 2 probably. Been looking for a fighting game with cool visuals and the gear aspect sounds awesome.

PS4 Pro Patches.

are the patches something I need to go manually download?



Been going through a gaming lul of sorts recently. Ratchet and Clank has got me back into the grove.

Guess I've just been burnt out by my huge backlog of games and overwhelmed by it all. Am slowly trying to come to the understanding that I'll just never get to play most of these games. Looking at the future, Sony has some of the best upcoming exclusives and then you've got all these multi plats like RDR2 etc.

Well I picked up Ratchet and Clank during the current sale and its been an absolute blast playing through it again. I had it pre ordered when it launched last year but then traded it in. So its been really fun re playing it. The game looks pretty good on the PS4 Pro, though I can't honestly see a difference. It looked the same back on the OG PS4. But its gorgeous none the less. Feels like you are literally playing a Pixar animated film.

For anyone still on the fence, you've got to pick it up. Its like $8 right now. It was worth the full price I paid for it at launch and its a steal at its current price. The writing is pretty vitty. Something I've found in all of Insomniac Games' I've played this generation including Sunset Overdrive.



Would Until Dawn be a good game for someone new to gaming?

My girlfriend has little to no gaming experience and this game seemed like something we might be able to enjoy together.

Question From Someone Purchasing Their First Console

Hello PlayStation users! As the title says, I'm working my first real job this summer. I am planning to use the cash to purchase a PS4. I just have a couple questions first.

1) Am I going to purchase this and have a new PlayStation system come out like a month later?

2) Are there a decent amount of worthwhile games? My family owns an Xbone and it seems like theres really not much worth playing (Ive heard this is a common complaint about the XB1). Im not partial to any particular genre of game.

Just a friendly reminder: If you took advantage of the store credit for spending $100 deal, go into your notifications and claim it by July 18th or it will go away.

You should have received a notification by now. You DO NOT have to spend the credit by July 18th, you just have to go claim the code by then otherwise it will expire.



PS4 Slim or Original

I've been an Xbox owner for a long time, but I've been thinking about grabbing a PS4 so I can play some of the games that have been coming out for it lately, but haven't been sure which is a better option.

Gamestop right now has the 1TB Slim, with GTAV for $299, or they have a 500GB refurb original, with 3 games for $229. I've beaten all 3 games that come with it, and the trade in value would be like $10, I've also beaten GTAV though, which trade in value is like $20. So ultimately, is the Slim worth the $60 difference over the original? My primary console will still be my Xbox One, the PS4 will only be used for exclusives.

Thanks for the help.



Rebuilding database and p.t. demo 2017 edition

I would like to clean off my ps4 before i transition a ps4 pro (keeping only p.t. demo) does rebuilding database work now with the haunted demo that doesnt exist anymore? Last I read shortly after the demo was taken down some complaints arised the license/database would critically error on this game as no license exists. Does that concern have any merit? I'd rather not lose that demo, even if i dont plan on playing it.

Alternatively could i back it up to a spare external harddrive?



PS4 to iPhone hotspot no longer a thing?

Our building has been disconnected from the internet and I wish to download a few save files from my psn cloud.

The problem is it requires a wifi network connection. And I cannot connect my devices to the modem as it isn't connected to the internet and accept the passwords.

Anyone know a way to get this to work?

Samsung MU7000 or Sony X850E for PS4 Pro?

I'm looking to buy a new 55" TV to get the most out of the PS4 Pro and I'm torn between two.

 

Samsung MU7000 (MU6470 UK)

Price: £999 http://ift.tt/2tq0562

Rtings: http://ift.tt/2sVusxD

 

Sony X850E (XE8596 UK)

Price: £1249 http://ift.tt/2tq1RE9

Rtings: http://ift.tt/2poPzHG

 

TL;DR The Samsung has far lower input lag (19.5ms vs 34.3ms) and is £250 cheaper but scores lower in motion and other picture quality factors. I'm trying to decide whether the increased responsiveness for gaming and lower price is worth choosing it over the Sony.

Would greatly appreciate any advice.

 

Note: I am aware that the Samsung KS8000 (KS7000 UK) is a popular choice but no longer seem to be available in the UK.



Help, ps4 controllers aren't responding properly

Hello, I have several PlayStation 4 controllers and I've been having issues with them for the last couple of years.

My original black controllers started getting "laggy" when I played games and I couldn't find any solution online to correct it. This "lag" leads to characters not responding properly to which way I have the stick pushed... it will be a split second delay, or it will make the character go the wrong direction or run for lifer than they should. Etc. It makes me die every single time I play a game (like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Crash Bandicoot for example).

I chose to buy 2 new controllers back when it first started happening, because maybe they were broken. After using my new controllers for over a year they both are having the same issues... and they have all been lightly used.

The frustrating part is that they all work fine in the ps4 menu, Netflix etc - but not in games.

I have already tried to cable link them to my system, reset them, etc. Nothing works.

So I'm at the end of my ps4 rope. I'm at the verge of "trashing" my ps4 and going strictly Xbox one as it hasn't given me issues yet. I don't want to do this, because I ultimately like my ps4 more... but if I can't play any of my games anymore without buying $70 controllers every few months [that only last a few months] then I don't know what other options I have?

Thank you in advanve if anyone knows what's wrong with my controllers and can help me fix it.



The great thing about friday the 13th and horror multiplayer games is...

They show you that in a horror situation, those dumb stupid moments and decisions by characters that make them horror movies? Yeah real people make them too!

One example... a dude drives a car into jason. Jason creams it. He manages to get car working..land does it again. Doesnt get to do it a third time.

Or another guy who was being chased and had an open door and closed window...and was so scared he jumped out the closed window, injured himself and ...well he didnt make it.

Its brilliant fun to watch games like these and see the mistakes people really do make. You find yourself wondering wtf are you doing? Just like in real horror films



Does plugging headphones into the DS4 diminish audio quality vs plugging into USB?

I'm trying to figure out what to do about a headset with my PS4. Not sure if I should use headphones w/ mic, headset with 3.5mm, or headset with USB hookup.

Does hooking headphones straight into the DS4 diminish the audio quality? If so, could I just hook them into the headphone jack on my monitor and plug my modmic 5 into the controller? Or should I be looking into getting a headset that plugs in via USB?

I guess other options would be to find a USB adapter that accepts both the headphone and mic connectors, and allows me to plug them into the PS4 via USB. Or buy a headphone amp.

Any help would be appreciated!



Sony Gold wireless headset troubleshooting

Hey guys I need some quick help!

So i've been using the wireless Gold headset for about a year now and I love it. A buddy of mine also just bought the headset yesterday , and when we tried playing in a party last night, he could hear everything in the headphones but he complained that sound was still coming through from his sound bar. How do you allow ALL sound to only come from the headphones? Everything settings wise matched up with my settings, like the audio output being 'all audio' instead of 'chat audio' or whatever. Nothing comes out of my tv sound wise once I turn on my headset. Is there something setting wise that he needs to fix? Thank you for any help!

PlayStation Store: June’s Top Downloads

http://ift.tt/2tQzVdO

PSA: Do NOT buy Friday The 13th!

Friday The 13th has been out for over a month now and I'm sure most of you have heard about this game. I'll give you a summary about the state of the game so far.

 

The game released on May 26th and costs $40 (mp only game). It had servers issues for 2 WEEKS straight. A lot of people were not able to play the game. Some people couldn't not even get to the main menu because of connection errors. The ones that managed to connect could not find any matches because of the issues. So invite people and play private matches in meantime right? Wrong. Because of the server issues your rank would be reset/stuck at 0, you did not earn any XP or CP.

 

So 2 weeks later the game is somewhat playable but here comes issue number 2: the game is loaded with bugs and glitches. For example: Players can get on top of roofs, perks are not working, infinite stamina, Jason getting launched across the map etc. Once the host leaves the game ends for everyone. Host gets killed or is upset that he didn't spawn as Jason? Leave, game ends for everyone. People also start grouping up and friends help Jason to kill the other counselors. Nothing you can do about it because there is no way to report them. People glitching into unreachable spots? Nothing you can do because you can't report them. Other counselors teamkill you for no reason at all? They don't get a penalty at all so why would they care.

 

So you were able to play the game, but the experience was not fun at all. That went on for a long time until some things got patched recently. Reminder: They had a beta test for this game. Why? Nobody knows.

 

June 23rd we get a 2x XP weekend to make up for the server issues at launch. Guess what? Server issues during the 2x XP that was supposed to make up for the server issues. Oh the irony.

 

To top it all off, what happened this week (on /r/F13thegame). They updated their ToS and made it possible to report cheating/exploits/harassment (they don't display this in game, so only people that follow their Twitter/Reddit are aware of these rules). http://ift.tt/2tpxcYv

That's a good thing right? Well not in this case. This happened: http://ift.tt/2uywu9b

Friends of the developers were helping Jason and when a guy called them out for it they threatened to get him banned. It turns out the he actually got banned but the ones breaking the rules were not since they're are friends with the devs.

Copy paste from their guidelines: Deliberately Helping Jason - This one is trickier; we will ban the Jason player and those helping Jason for deliberately 'helping' Jason win a match through killing other teammates or working to farm XP.

From the comments by the developers it turns out that this actually happened. They admitted that they know the teamers. They did not get banned. They started removing posts about it too. You can read more about it in the comments of these posts:

http://ift.tt/2tZGf2V
http://ift.tt/2uywu9b

 

tl;dr = The game was broken for 2 weeks at launch, making it unplayable. The game suffered from loads of bugs and exploits after that, making it not enjoyable to play. Now the devs fucked up by banning whoever their friends tell them too. A game dev should never show favoritism. Don't pay $40 for this broken early access game. You can't keep forgiving their bs over and over.

 

edit: my bad, I didn't know this was Friday the 13th fanboy HQ.

Very happy with this console generation's game variety

So previous generation there was only one decent space game that I found for the 360 and I didn't even end up finishing it because it wasn't exactly the type of game I like.

Now though, with the release of Elite Dangerous and No Man's Sky, I'm very impressed. Space games are amongst my favorites and they are usually limited to the PC scene which I'm not really part; consoles have become my primary gaming medium for various reasons. Elite Dangerous is a full blown space sim - I never could have imagined it would be ported over, or work with a controller, but it does and quite well I might add.

Not to mention the plethora of GOOD indie games. On the 360, you were lucky to find anything half-decent that wasn't AAA. Now I am tripping on very good indie games that are ported from PC and their success on Steam because they actually have a market on the PS4 and I'm guessing it's easy for devs to port them over (or easier than previous gen consoles).

Anyone else really happy with the variety this gen? If so, what do you find has improved?



Online racing / driving community

What is the go-to game lately for good online racing? Does any game seem to have a very active community or a decent group who race clean without trying to wreck each other?



Question about Game Sharing

I'm a new Playstation user and had a question. I brought a playstation over the weekend to play the new Crash Bandicoot which I brought as a digital download. I now want to make a new account because the username I picked is terrible I made it in a rush and realise now that you can't change it (oops). So I wanted to know if I created a new account with a username I like will I be able to play Crash Bandicoot with no problems?



Anyone else experiencing problems with Hulu?

Ever since the last two updates I keep getting kicked off Hulu with an error message. On top of that whenever I leave an episode..say half way through and try to resume later on. It will always restart from the beginning.

Anyone else experiencing this?

ELI5: What exactly is a game engine?

Hello. I have been wondering this for a while and I thought this may be a good place to ask. I am always reading about game engines, you know like Frostbite, Unreal, Gamebryo, Snowdrop...etc. I have always wondered what exactly a game engine is and what does it do.

Is a game engine something that developers create themselves or is it created by an outside source? Are they created or modified for specific games? What does it provide, like animations, lighting, physics...etc?

I am sure there are more questions that I have, but I will stop as I think you have the idea.

Thank you in advance for your responses!



Cash n sane colored gems question.

It says collect all boxes and don't die. So if I die do I just quit and re enter the level? If I die before the first check point do I still have to leave the level?



Question about storage devices

My ps4 keeps running out of space and can really hold only 5-6 games at a time because of games like battlefield 1 that require a whopping 100 gb space.

I was wondering if there was a device i can download games onto to get them off of my ps4 and then be able to instantly play on the ps4 without having to redownload them. If such thing exsist I'd love to know which the best route to go is thanks

[Slight Spoilers] Which AAA game(s) did you men to finish, but just ran out of wind and never did?

I was in the middle of playing Uncharted 4, when I just ran out of steam yesterday. I stopped caring about the climb, shoot, rinse, repeat and found the villain so lame that I didn't care what happens to him. I just wanted to know how Nathan [SLIGHT SPOILER] saved his marriage. I wound up watching the ending scene on Youtube and, having beaten the first and third game, felt very satisfied. What AAA games wore you out? On the flip side, I ran out of steam with Horizon Zero Dawn and Alan Wake, but was so invested in the world, characters and "villain" that I powered through.



[Question] Four years later, is Battlefield 4 worth a purchase?

I've played a fair share of Battlefield 1 and would love to play a more "modern" Battlefield game. I'd prefer Battlefield 3 but it looks like 4 is the closest I'll get on PS4. The Playstation Store has it for $20 (http://ift.tt/2tPXiUA) and I was wondering if it's worth it even if I don't have premium for it.

Dear Sony. Where are the FUN arcade racing games?

Let me start off this wall of text by saying that this is not an attack on sim-racers overall, but just me bemoaning the lack of simple, fun arcade racers to balance them out.

Was just watching a couple of Initial D youtubes and as a frequenter of the GTPlanet boards, seeing the unfolding of what looks like to be the most boring Gran Turismo yet (GT Sport) are Sony still funding the ridiculous Polyphony Studios, just to try and keep up with the likes of Forza 7 etc?

Along with Drive Club (which is ok, i guess) and Dirt Rally, Project Cars 2 (which looks incredible already - I'm absolutely watching with interest) , Assetto Corsa etc...why do they keep focusing on releasing these sim-style games (yes i know they're mostly multi-plat) but seem to think that the actual FUN games, like Ridge Racer, any SEGA arcade racer , Burnout etc, are not fashionable any longer ?

Of course, I don't want sim-style racers to stop being made, that's just silly, but other than some real barrel scraping indie racers that are more at home on a mobile phone, there's hardly any choice of some nice pick-up-and-play racing games, that the Playstation used to have a whole lot of. I don't want sim racers to die. I just want there to be options for those gamers who find them a little boring and insurmountable without a whole wheel/pedal set-up (by the way, fuck you Sony and Logitech for absolutely taking out the software driver for the G27 wheel, just so you can force the barely imperceptible G29 on console users.)

Why did Sony decide that arcade racers had had their day, all of a sudden ? So, OK, I'd place the new Wipeout game in the same pigeon hole as Ridge Racer et al, but it's the only truly polished arcade racer out there it seems (it's a wonderful remake, i think) . But how about also an updated SEGA Rally or even an Initial D Playstation release or something? No setting up, via a million boring menus. No racing etiquette. No real world rules. Just press start a coupla times and try to get a high score. Again, the sim stuff is fine - but where is the fun stuff to go alongside it ?

With the seemingly popular remakes of old PS titles, like Crash, doing well - I'd love to see them consider a return to Ridge Racer. If they did a ground-up remake of some of the series' titles in a pack - like the Crash Bandicoot release - it'd be a success too?
Surely Crash's popularity is suggesting that the time is right to push through some old PS/Namco/SEGA etc franchises, with a new coat of paint?
The cost of paying for these franchise rights can't be that high for Sony, especially when they seem prepared to fund Polyphony for years on end, whilst people wait for - what looks to be - half of a Gran Turismo game that is only interested in online only, top-tier drivers with wheel set-ups.
And if they did, please don't try and bring sim elements into a Ridge Racer remaster, JUST leave it as it is, other than nice new graphics, a sharpening of the controls etc, just to bring it into the modern age of course.

Digital Foundry, not too long ago, did a DF Retro review of Ridge Racer 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGTR0G2xC1E . Even now it looks pretty good (was high end for PS2 certainly) . I'd be more than happy with a re-do of that game, although I think the general consensus would be that 5 is definitely not the one people would want. Whichever title is re-done isn't too much of an issue for me (maybe not that first PS3 version tho eh?) .

But to just be able to go crazy around a course, drifting with ease, using some instinctive DS4 control - rather than having to spend weeks learning how to drift with a gaming wheel set-up that likely cost you over £250 all in, is one of the reasons I'd like to see a return of these arcade games.

Console manufacturers are obviously trying to push to compete with PC now and along with that seems to come a ridiculous cost too. They're seemingly focused on making racing games that are less and less compatible with a simple console/controller set-up and more focused on having to buy a wheel, pedals, stand for wheel, VR headset even! Serious sim racing enthusiasts will always use a PC for doing it properly, so please stop pretending that consoles can do it too and stick to what consoles do best ? Isn't that supposed to be what they're for ?

TL;DR - Sim racers are fine, but they're expensive overall and a bit boring. stamps feet I want Ridge Racer to come back :( !
