I have pretty much all of the retail PS4 games that are out aside from the sports titles.
And it's just the first year of the console.

I didn't want to deal with the hassle of deleting games every time I bought a new game to make room.

Next week sounds very nice for releases after a few weeks of summer game drought. Stolen from Yechezekel's PSN thread:

Counterspy
Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
Hotline Miami
Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare
The Last Tinker: City of Colors

I won't buy all of these ASAP, but I'm at least interested in all of them.
drat, I was hoping Minecraft would be out next week. Maybe on the 26th.

Don't worry, much like Tomb Raider just buy it two months later for $29.99. The "Square Tax" was common in the early DS days in Japan/US too with all their port and remakes, like clockwork. $10 more at launch, wait two months and get it for a more normal price for what it is.

Seriously. All that can be had for like $10 on Steam if your timing is right, unless it's some crazy graphical overhaul compared to that version.

Actually he's right. An SSHD works by having a small SSD, usually something like 8 gigs, working as a fast access cache and moving whatever data is commonly accessed there. If you are swapping games around a lot it doesn't take advantage of the SSD area and is more frequently copying from the traditional spinning platter HDD space. An SSHD usually speeds up a PC because the OS naturally ends up there, resulting in faster boot times and the like, while as data-only it has dubious benefits unless you're always accessing the same few gigs of data.

But doesn't this also apply to a console? So an SSHD will make a PS4 boot faster too? That's worth something. And the idea of a person picking one game and playing just that for a fair while is not exactly rare. There have also been tests showing an SSHD offering load time improvements almost on the level of an SSD though it may not apply to all games.

Really, I just wish a company would release a selection of high-grade 2.5" SSHDs with more solid-state memory. Like 16, 32 or 64GB.

I bought some gold headsets today. I'm getting a weird kind of crackling sound on ps4. Anything in doing, games or Netflix etc. I plugged in to my vita, and tried wireless on ps3 and pc and they were fine. Plugged in to the controller is getting similar results to wireless. Anyone have similar issues or have any solutions? Whats wrong with my ps4?

No, the console's OS isn't on the hard drive.

You'd get slightly faster loading times on some games, but it's a small improvement for a lot of money.

Put a 1tb SSHD in my ps4, works great, really only play one game at a time. The speed really pays off when loading in the games. Install is based on the blu-ray drive so the HD doesn't matter. Don't really plan to have 20 games installed at once.

Yeah I thought that at first as well, but I set it to off and the crackling didn't stop. I should have also explained that I've tried just normal sony headphones without a mic and that one ear bud plugged in to the controller and get the same crackling, with the bonus of controller lag, not just the golds.

Do you remember the 60 minutes limitation on Share Play? Apparently according to Eurogamer that's not a too terrible limitation, you have to invite your friend and play with him 60 minutes per session, then the system disconnects your friend and you have to re-invite your friend to your session. Still I can't see a good title to use it outside Towerfall, Mercenary Kings or even Cod's split-screen PVP.

It's not just co-op though, SharePlay allows your remote friend to play an hour of whatever game you have set up for him.

(PlayStation Europe boss Jim) Ryan also clarified that players who take control of a game remotely will be able to play both the single and multi player modes in that game - even without PS Plus membership - but they will not be able to play multiplayer with the person they are sharing from without a PS Plus membership.

Woo, I finished completing the entire open world in Infamous: Second Son. I'm not looking forward to doing a hard or evil playthrough for a platinum but I at least feel accomplished doing the open world stuff.

Oh and why in the world is the PS4 version of AC 4 advertising Rogue if it's last gen only? Anyway on to completing AC IV!

(Oh, and my controllers now only charge to 2/3 bars before the lightbar goes out and refuses to charge further.

Is anyone still interested in Killzone Multiplayer? I feel like it is pretty decent but playing it alone is a pain.

I just realized that you can use the controller USB cable to charge the Gold headset instead of relying on the pathetically short one included in the box.

Unity is ps4/bone/pc only. Rogue has no MP and is last gen only.

From the last page, but it's funny hearing people arguing about digital vs physical media. As long as I can sell my disc to some guy on craiglsist for $50 after I accitently buy a crappy game Physical media is king. It's probably irrelevant on a tech level but I like that I can sell it. Also, not downloading 20-50 gig files and having to rely on the ridiculously unreliable PSN store is nice.

I'll always swap discs until some sort of viable resale option for downloads pops up and PSN doesn't suck.

It's all a matter of perspective I guess. For me never having to worry about swapping discs or having someone else scratch one, and having my entire collection instantly on hand and not cluttering up my garage is easily worth the 30 bucks or whatever I lose in a trade-in every now and then. In a perfect world digital copies will eventually have discounted prices even at launch in line with physical copies, but until then personally for me the convenience is worth the money.
