Playstation 4

Said in the Now playing thread but...

Tried out AC4 on my Vita....via the PS4 system link. Impressive how well it works.. Though not as good as a real dual shock controller it is still great. I can play AC4 whilst in bed. Or while using the restroom. And you can turn on your PS4 remotely with the Vita (from PS4 standby mode).

I've only tested this in my house over wifi but I will try it at another location with strong wifi and see how it goes...

Unrelated to the PS4, then my Vita has sprung back to life after I got Spelunky on it. Already played that game for like 30-40 hours on XBLA, but it's just perfect for the Vita, it's good enough to carry around a Vita just to play that.

Still haven't tried the remote play stuff, because, you know, I'm single and if I wanna play games I ideally wanna play it on a big screen

Thats why living by yourself is such a big advantage, when my girl wants to play gta v she needs my permission caus this is my place and my rulzz haha

The Knack bundle just became available on Amazon, added it to my basket and clicked checkout 2 minutes after the notification, already sold out. I have no chance.

lmao. I bet there's at least one person in the world who has been furiously checking every PS4-selling site every minute they're awake since the launch.

Haha, I just signed up for every notification possible.

Santa pls...

I got one! Managed to checkout quick enough this time and I can collect tomorrow

Forgive me Xbox

If it's not already been mentioned or known about then for people in the UK http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/ is the way forward

The notification I got was from them, it's a handy site. There's also http://www.nowinstock.net/uk/

Got one from work.

Unfortunately there aren't any heavy-hitting launch titles, but I'm anticipating some great games in the futurez! Also, thank God I don't have to navigate that piece of shit interface in the xbone...

I got one from Sony.

Does anyone else get a green tint on their screen and then a black flash when switching between HDMI inputs? It displays normally after a couple of seconds, not sure if it's an actual issue or not but yeah.

Are you using a receiver, or just plugging it directly to the TV? have you tried another HDMI port?

Yep, I tried that. It's plugged directly in to the TV.

I did a bit of investigating online and apparently it's down to the way certain TVs handle the HDCP handshake to verify the connection from HDMI. Some can display a black/blank screen whereas others can display a quick green flash. Lots of people seem to have the same thing, even with different devices and it was quite common on the PS3 too. I tried it on a different TV and it displayed fine, so that confirmed it wasn't an issue with the console at least.

Very cool shit:

I was always wondering how it could be possible to run a service like Gaikai (or whatever it's being called now) without running into crazy cost issues due to you effectively needing one PS3 per active player.

Looks like the solution was quite obvious really: build fuckloads of server racks that each hold eight PS3s. They could literally fit about 100 PS3s into the space of an average wardrobe — pretty crazy shit! And I bet they can make them really cheaply too because there's no need for them to look nice, be quiet, etc.

Interesting article if you're into this kind of stuff!

I cancelled my PS4 order. There's still no word on when it's available here. Somehow I feel the lack of consoles is artificial. I can't remember a console launch which had so few units available. I've literally gone everywhere in Holland. The only option is the black market for 800 euro's or import. So no PS4 for me. I spent the money on a new PC which is the MASTER RACE anyway.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be many games for it worth playing atm. Save yourself the money!
