Zen Pinball looks so good in 3D, the PvZ table looks great. It was a great surprise when I booted up the game the first time and it asked me if I wanted to switch to 3D mode. My wife loves it and we played the PvZ table for an hour Christmas eve night. I was thrilled there was a game that she finally could play with me.

Now how about that 3D blu ray patch Sony....

If the game doesn't have the option you can mute via the XMB > Friends > Players Met section.

I'm trying to buy a PS4 for my family, and I'm wondering if I can activate my PS+ account on their machine and save them the trouble of paying or figuring the service out like I previously did with their PS3. So does PS+ on PS4 support up to 2 activations like it did on the PS3? And if so, can I activate it then have them use their own accounts and enjoy the services (sans Store deals), just like how it is on PS3 as well?

No, you only get one primary activation which would work like it used to. Otherwise additional uses works like the 360 where you have to be signed in on other consoles.

It does share PS+, but I believe only on the primary "home" system. So you could set their PS4 as the primary system for your account. That means you will have to log into PSN on your PS4 in order to play your games, but the intended result would be achieved.

Is anyone playing multiplayer over wifi? How well does it work? My Ps4 didn't like my tuner so moved it to the bedroom where I don't have a network drop.

It works well, play BF4 conquest online, router is 3 storeys down.

Ah, that sucks.

Well, I don't have a PS4 right now and I may wait 6+ months before getting one, so can I activate their system as a Primary PS4 in the meantime until I get mine then easily deactivate it, either remotely or personally?

Yeah, as long as your credentials are stored or you have access, changing it is trivial.

Oh, that's not so bad I guess. So is the only downside to a secondary account is having to be online all the time? Also, can I go right ahead and set theirs as a secondary while there's currently no primary PS4 activated? lol

Yeah, as long as your credentials are stored or you have access, changing it is trivial.

Sweet. That doesn't so bad right now.

I got Knack for Christmas, and you know what? I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. It's a really nice looking game and the movement/controls feel SOO good that it hurts me that it doesn't have more platforming in it. The controls are perfect for it. I also think I would have liked a controllable third-person character instead of the LEGO-style, but it works.

The game sure is hard, though, my goodness. Playing it on normal difficulty even, lol. I like it. It's fun and the music is nice, too.

Great to hear. I've never tried multiplayer over wifi. Going to give killzone a try when I can.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Is PSN stable? Should I download the update to a USB stick or can I just set it up when I get home tonight?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Do we know when there will be a good choice of fight sticks for PS4?

 

[sangreal]

I don't think there are any fighting games for ps4? So probably not until that happens

I got a 30 day trial for psn eu for some reason today in my email. first to euer to pm me gets it.

Its annoying coming from primarily playing on 360 (I only really played single player games on Ps3).

I don't want to hear anybody but people on my friendslist. I even tried looking in the parental controls to see if you could block voice communication.

 

[thenexus6]

Is it just me or does like no one talk when they play? I guess its mostly the same on Xbox 360 but..

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

So, can I actually do anything with the touchpad on the PS4 menus or anything? Seems like it doesn't do much at the moment

Heh, not yet. I doubt they would ignore it for long, they'll probably make a big update that brings touchscreen scrolling at least. The weirdest thing is that the browser's mouse doesn't even use the touchpad. Hopefully the update that brings that stuff will also incorporate touch controls from Vita during remote play.

Ok, I asked this the "defective PS4, Sony offered $60 warranty" thread, but someone pointed me here, and this seems like a better place to ask anyways.

My launch DualShock 4 has a very slightly loose screw on the left side, tried the smallest screwdriver I could find out of a toolbox full of adjustable screw tips. The controllers is completely fine, except when playing Metal Gear Rising, I noticed that I can bend out the right side of the top faceplate just a tiny bit. Please help, should I just request a replacement, I think the screw may never come out, the prongs aren't stripped yet but it just won't budge...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I am wondering. Can one multi download at the same time without saying check out or buy it every single time you want to buy something? Like in Amazon where you continue shopping without paying for an individual item.

 

[mohsinkhan]

How do you turn off auto renewal for Music Unlimited?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Injustice. Granted it's a port, but still.

Go to settings, select PSN, account information, then services list.

 

[Matriox]

Injustice is the only one I believe, and as far as fight sticks go no, none yet.

Is there any way to deactivate a PS4 via the internet? Mine was fried by lightning and I got a new one, but I am unable to deactivate the original one.

Maybe through here.

"You can only deactivate your PlayStation®4 system directly from the system itself."

Chatting with support now.

This is dumb

 

[Canis lupus]

Isnt the PS4 getting deactivated when you choose "deactivate all systems" on the PSN site.

 

[eznark]

Why would I deactivate all of my systems?

 

[pharmboy044]

Why would I deactivate all of my systems?

It's all or none and I think you can only do it every 6 months.

 

[eznark]

Chatted with someone at SEN customer support, deactived it in like 2 minutes.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

probably a weird place to ask this but with the PS4 now hooked up I'm out of HDMI slots. How is the PS3 over component? Should I notice a difference in quality?

How about using a HDMI splitter?

 

[king grimlock]

got lucky with my xbone and got the last one seems i won't be as lucky with my ps4 =( do i need to sacrifice a kitten so i can get a ps4 i got a asshole kitty just right for that.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

haven't really looked into those too much but I thought the best ones were the pricier powered splitters. I'm sort of just looking into a shorter term solution until I get a new TV next year.

Huh? So you want to download things without checking out/buying? Or you want to add a bunch of things to your shopping cart, then checkout/buy them all at once?

If the second, then go to the store and add to cart. Then checkout is a one time process for everything in the cart. So is downloading once you checked out.

 

[GremlinFool]

PSN is down for me right now. Anyone else having issues?

This is getting extremely frustrating. PSN has been down every time I've tried to play my PS4 over the past three days. Unacceptable.

 

[Putty]

I added a number of you guys on PSN earlier so thanks for adding. Anyone else wanting to buff up their friends list please feel free to add.

Works fine for me here. Didn't connect right away but only took two retries.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Some parts are down for me. Won't load my friends list or my profile.

Yeah, this is starting to piss me off. It's been long enough after to handle this rush.

 

[GremlinFool]

Not even signing in for me anymore. This is absolutely disgusting.
