Can help you with 3-5 Snoopz

3. Probably not a massive update. The system updates aren't that big but some of the game updates can be and PSN content delivery is often not the fastest. It can be a bit frustrating sometimes waiting 4 hours or more for a title update to download. Lately it hasn't been too bad though.

4. PS+ titles you have to grab em while you can

5. The controller takes about a couple of hours to charge but the battery life is very poor. You'll be lucky if a full charge lasts 3-4 hours. Definitely buy a longer USB cable so you can play and charge. I bought a 1.8m one from ASDA and it still charges fine.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

You can turn the brightness down on the light on the controller I think so it lasts a bit longer.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Thanks all, everything installed ok, i much prefer the Matte version to the gloss! :)

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Any ridiculously cheap game deals for the PS4 either on disk or digital out there?

ToysRus are selling Destiny on disk for £4.96 but not sure i will get to play it even at that price!

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Anyone else having an issue with the latest Black OPs 3 V1.13 patch as i am seeing redraw popup all the time now?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Various PS4 digital games are in the Black Friday sale.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Just taken delivery of the PS4VR first impressions are very very good. the lenses suffer from fogging though, may need to get some anti fog wipes

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Star Wars BattleFront Ultimate edition is currently only £3.99 on the UK store if anyone is interested.

The season pass is also free.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Cheers, had a few quid sitting in the wallet so picked it up. It's one of those games i've been meaning to buy for ages but somehow never do.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

The game l am looking forward to this year is the return of Sir Daniel Fortesque even though it is a re-mastered edition of the original PS1 game.:)

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Never heard of it, you got a PS4 then Den?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Yes we got it about a year or so ago when we had some nice winnings from the bingo :)

It as one of the legendary games from the old PS1 SnoopZ.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

No I won't buy the PS4. If you've got a ZX Spectrum, what else do you need?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

You see Mr K us young oldies need something a bit more up to date old boy.;)

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Just a heads up, if anyone wants Call of Duty Black ops III it is currently FREE on PSN Plus as a bonus this month.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Anybody got the PSVR headset and have a list of games they recommend?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Who else buys cheap digital games from other country playstores?

I am finding it far cheaper now going 100% digital buying games from the US, Indonesian and UK playstores if i look out for the regular sales they have.

I use sites like psprices.com to compare prices across sites which also tells me of the flash sales then for the US site buy US credit online from another site and for the Indonesian site i use a virtual credit card called Resolut, all without any problems. All i have to do is make up an address for where i live on the PS stores but with the Resolut card it is my legit address seeing that is like a bank account.

You can then add the other accounts to your console and play using your normal UK account without restriction.

If anyone wants any info on how to do this drop me a message.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Red Dead Redemption 2 looks a good game but its rather expensive currently as all new games generally are.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I'll get RDR2 when I can pick it up cheap digitally from either the US or Indonesian PSN store, most of my games cost less than £15 now digitally, my latest 2 are Assassin's Creed Origins Deluxe and God of War, got both for £31 total.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

EA Access coming to the PS4 this July.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&sour...57340332631025

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

That's great news. Heard rumours s few months ago.

Had this on Xbox and it's pretty decent.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

If anyone wants a PSN credit deal, you can currently get £35 PSN UK credit for £29.99 from CDkeys and if Hotukdeals is accurate on 7th June there will be a 30% deal on a PS+ UK subscription.

So if you purchase the £35 credit and then use that on the subscription deal you get it all for £29.99, this is for new and existing customers and you can stack your subscriptions.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Stephen there is a Days of Play sale starting tomorrow on the US store and you may want to check it out, some games I recommend for you.

GOD OF WAR PS4 $19.99 £15.79
HORIZON ZERO DAWN COMPLETE EDITION $9.99 £7.89


Personally I think I may pick up most of these as the prices seem a steal!

MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN $19.99 £15.79
DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN $7.99 £6.31
BATTLEFIELD V $23.99 £18.95

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/day...9-more-3242542

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

The Days of Play sale is ok the UK store also.

There are also savings on PS Plus, as well as actual hardware, like co soles, controllers and excellent PS VR discounts.

List of all things in the sale. No prices yet

https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2019...e/#sf213920557

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Yes, but the US pricing should be far cheaper.

Think i have to wait for 4-5pm today for the US prices to change on the store.

If you're interested in Battlefield V it has just gone onto EA Access for Xbox, so it should be on EA Access when it comes to PS4.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Not sure if I could be bothered setting up to buy from the US store.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Takes 5 minutes.

1. Register with NEW email
2. Set it up using a US address, i used a holiday home address i had previously stayed at.
3. Setup new account on your PS4 as PRIMARY your UK account will still be PRIMARY also.
4. Purchase USA topup cards from https://www.pcgamesupply.com using your normal UK banking card and UK address, instant email delivery.
5. Add US topcards to US account and purchase the game/download.
6. Play said games via UK account.

It's alot easier than it looks and the prices are astonishingly cheaper at times, when the sales are on.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Just purchased 6 x $10 topups and bought Spiderman Deluxe for $30 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider for $24, not a bad deal at all.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I bought Horizon, forgot I had a US account already from PS3 days. Not logged on to PS4 to download yet though.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Excellent choice I think it's one of the best open world games I have played.

A few tips, don't do what I did and try and do the end mission too soon as I ended up being too underpowered with weapons and body armour and had to roll back and do everything all the errands and side missions for that, and it was sure worth it, the DLC is very good too so leave that till the end.

I really enjoyed collecting all the trophies.

I tried Spiderman late last night, still struggling with the control system and fear the game will be far too short unless there is an open world element.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I'll get to try it tonight. Looking forward to it.

Spiderman is open world, after the first few missions and levelling up your powers it gets a lot better, lots of side missions and tasks to complete. I kept playing and am 92% complete on the main game. I loved collecting all the trophies. My Spidey is now at level 50. Only got a few trophies to go now. The main story is also pretty great and can't wait to get to the 3 DLC chapters.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Thanks for the tips, I think the Deluxe version of Spiderman i bought for $30 comes with all the DLC and i am very glad there is an option to turn off Motion Blur as i can't handle that it makes me feel sick.

On HZD later on in the game when you have access to a place called Meridian, give me a shout and i will tell you how to get 'Shards' quickly to buy stuff, this isn't a cheat but you will want it.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

How are you liking it so far?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I never started it till yesterday, was getting through Uncharted 4.

I absolutely love it, story seems really interesting so far and the graphics are stunning. I'm just passed the Proving and just going to test out the control thing to take over a strider.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Like i think i said previously i can give you a few tips which i think you will need and it is not cheating at all, so give me a shout when you're a few weeks into the game.

You're basically going to need to get Shards quickly and once you have access to a place called Meridian where all the specialist Merchants are you will need this info to progress easier. :)

I completed the game on Normal level and it is by far 1 of the most satisfying games i have ever played, after i did that i then ventured into the DLC.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

My brother and l loved Uncharted 4 and felt it was one of the best games we had played.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I was so glad the uncharted games let you turn off 'motion blur' as i would quickly feel sick otherwise, sadly not all games have this option!

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Indeed as that is certainly not for us either.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

If you don't own the spiderman DLC it is currently on offer.


https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/...08-UBISOFT0203

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Fantastic, I had no idea it was on offer just now. Will pick over the weekend.

---------- Post added at 23:49 ---------- Previous post was at 23:47 ----------

I love the Uncharted series but it's not the best game I've ever played. I like Tomb Raider better and think Spider-Man is by far the best game I've played on PS4.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Tomb Raider is a very good game but personally l think there are several games that l enjoyed more then Spider-Man but each to their own in their favourite preferences.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

July 24th EA Access arrives on the PS4.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

EA Access is 9hrs away for all those interested, the current list of games available at launch are below but i suspect this will mostly mirror the games available on the Xbox very soon which have over 50, not bad for £19.99 a year.

Madden NFL 19
Mass Effect: Andromeda
NBA Live 19
NHL 19

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I loved the service on the X1. It was also great as it had some last gen games included, which was probably due to the BC function of the X1. So this may have less games.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Now live at £19.99 a year or £3.99 a month, these are the current games for the UK region, strangely we don't get Madden games or Rorys Golf, like the US does.

Battlefield V

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

An excellent month for August for PSPlus games.

We get WipEout Omega Collection & Sniper Elite 4, last month was Detroit so let's hope they keep giving us better games.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I'm gutted about sniper elite 4 as I literally bought it in the sale 2 weeks ago. Great game though.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Yes that's the thing with all these games i am buying cheap in online sales, at some point they may appear on PS Plus as free games and there is nothing i can do, so far i haven't been caught out yet.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I'm usually ok when I buy sale stuff too. Didn't expect Sniper Elite 4 as ps plus game. Would have expected the remaster of V2 or 3 as they are a bit older. 4 is still pretty pricey.

Also picked up the season pass for Spiderman and working through the 3 story parts on themwill go back to Horizon shortly.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I've not played much of Spiderman, after finishing Tomb Raider I have moved onto assassins creed origins which I picked up on the cheap from either the US or Indonesian store last summer.... too many games to play.

I find I play the PS4 far more often now I use their wireless headset all the time, so much better than any other sound, you should get yourself a pair.

This is what I use but there are newer models.

https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/p...es/ps4-headset

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I have seen the official, gold headset, I think it was. Had thought of picking it up. I have the PS4 Pro connected through my amp and love the 5.1 surround though.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

The headset helps if you don't want to disturb other people which in my case is all the time! i think my headset has 7.1 virtual surround sound.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I just realised i can suspend a game and pick up instantly where i left off the next time i power up the PS4, does anyone use this feature?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

That has been a feature for a while SnoopZ as we always use it when we are on the PS4 and have finished on there..

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I use it every time I power down the system.

Used to always do the same on my X1.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I'm a bit behind, i have been reading a thread about the PS5 rumours over at Resetera so that is how i got hold of it.

FYI it is looking like the PS5 is going to be a beast of a console.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Just a heads up for those Playstation gamers that there is a January sale in the Playstation Store currently.

https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/home/games

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

January?? It's still flipping December. .
I bought a couple of games in the Christmas sale.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Blame the January title on them as there is a boxing day sale before that.:D

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Yes been looking at that via psprices.com it is a shame they wait until everyones 10%,20%,30% discount codes stop working (assuming you got sent one in email) before starting this sale, but saying that there is nothing i fancy there as i bought games in the better Black Friday sale a few weeks ago.

There is also this sale on the US site which may work out cheaper.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

l never got one of these 10%,20%,30% discount codes that get sent in a email.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Not everyone gets offers but you need to make sure the below is enabled to stand a chance of receiving anything, this screen is via a PC, i personally got a 20% off code but i never got a discount on my US and Indonesian accounts.

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...1&d=1576928501

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

They had a December/Christmas sale already on that runs until the 23rd.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Thanks for that as l will check my notification settings so that it is enabled.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

There is an excellent FREE dynamic theme for the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima game if anyone is interested using the below code, expires Jan 31 2020.

Free PS Plus Jan 2020 games, available from 8th.

Nathan Drake Uncharted Collection (3 games)


Goat Simulator

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Happy about the Uncharted 1-3 games. Been meaning to pick it up for a replay of them. Recently completed the 4th one.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Just a heads up, if anyone feels dodgy with burning eyes and a strange head while playing Uncharted you can fix this by turning off 'motion blur' in the settings for each game, it worked for me.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Nathan Drake Uncharted Collection is a great trilogy of games.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I hope they bring out 5.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I don't get a sore head but it's always the first thing I do in games.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Indeed.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Im not good with PSVR, cant stand the feeling of motion sickness, hopefully the new consoles wont cause this issue as i cant even play Far Cry very long as you cant turn this issue off.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I've only used it a few times but was fine with it. Was planning on getting one soon. Gutted I missed out on the recent price drops.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

More price drops started today on both US and UK sites, you should make checking daily part of your browsing habits.

PS Plus is also on offer if you need a top up, you can get the price down to £31ish using cheap tops from the usual sites.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

With regards to getting PSVR, i kind of regret getting mine, it has probably had less than a few days use as the novelty of it all didn't last long.

Playing a game like Until Dawn: Rush Of Blood is a must and is fun at the time if it doesn't give you a heart attack!!! but after that there isn't much else and for me i missed the large 4K picture that a regular TV gave, PSVR also didn't work too well with my varifocal glasses as it blurred the edges so was hard to read any text in focus, maybe i will give it another go sometime but i feel it is just a short term thing and won't get much use.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Never been into PSVR personally as now l have a longer extension to the control pad l can play from my armchair as sitting on the stool was a bit uncomfortable.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

How come you don't play wireless?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

A unintelligent man like myself never thought of that.:dunce:

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Joking right? lol

What is the real reason you play with a cable attached to the controller, is it so you don't have to charge them?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

l have always done it that way so why change.:)

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Trip hazard. ;)

Den i am actually very shocked that you play wired, you can't even charge a PS4 controller via the cable while playing, you maybe able to on the V2 models though so you still have to charge it afterwards after you stop playing.

There is simply no logical reason to have it plugged in other than to make your life difficult, the controllers have all been wireless since the PS3 days for 14 years. :)

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

You must know now that l can be the opposite of logic sometimes.;)

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I still don't think you will change, if you bought a cordless hoover that could also be used with a wire you would also keep that plugged in. :D

Anyway a little tip, you can charge the controller using any USB port even if its on a PC, or the ones you can buy with a cheap mains extender block, so there is really no reason to trail it across your living room, the cable could stay plugged in near your chair.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/JnDeeTM-6-6...KN35FZXDS68P83

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

My partner hoovers as l would get breathless rather quickly sadly.

l might take you up on your tips though as perhaps this old dog can learn new tricks.:D

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I'm pretty sure you can charge while playing? I'm sure I've done it loads before.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

What......

The controller's only charge via the cable. They are designed to be used wirelessly, it's Bluetooth they use.

---------- Post added at 21:11 ---------- Previous post was at 21:09 ----------

I've wanted it for a while and keep missing out on the price drops. At £180 for the starter kit it's a really good price.

Also I can watch my 3D Blu Rays using it.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Yes it looks like you're correct you can charge while playing.

So for Dens sake, if you have a V1 controller the connection for playing games is only possible via wireless but with a V2 controller you have the choice for either wireless or playing through the cable.

---------- Post added at 23:38 ---------- Previous post was at 23:34 ----------

If you do go PSVR, some games require 2 move controllers for best results and these are expensive but you can use the original move controllers if you have them.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Sadly I no longer have my PS3 move controller's. Sold them when I got rid of the PS3 but at the time only got about 5 quid for each one. It's crazy how expensive they are now. I am sure they were only about 40 quid for a pair new back then.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

The price shot up when PSVR came out.

Btw make sure you get a V2 PSVR there is an important difference regarding TV breakout box which means you wont have to keep unplugging it I think it maybe to do with HDR.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

You are correct. V1 couldn't pass through HDR. It's been a while now so all new stock should be V2. Even when looking at secondhand inches I always check out the breakout box to make sure it's the new one. Same with the headset, as there are a few differences that are easy to spot.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

V2 packs come bundled with the camera too.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Some V1 packs did too latterly. They also included VR World's just like V2.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

It may have been the camera design on the box that was different then.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I'm not sure I follow? Surely it's the same for V1 and V2?

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

You can play using a wire with the V2 controller this may reduce lag, with V1 the cable just charges it, I got that from a Google search so I hope it's correct.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

You can also play with the wire on a V1 while its charging. I'm sure my red controller is a V1.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Easiest way to tell the V1 from V2 is the V2 has a light bar section on the top of the touch pad. V1 is just that bit on the back.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

Well you can play with both connected via a wire, not sure I can explain it any better than how I have, Google it if you still don't understand.

Re: The PS4 Thread
 

I still dont get it but not worth looking really. All I know is my V1 controller let's me play while its charging.
