another shit post

Hey guys, I've been reading/seeing a lot of conflicting information on TVs for the PS4.

I've been told to get the most out of it, I need a 120hz refresh rate and that makes no sense to me, as to my knowledge, most PS4 games are capped at 60 fps. Am I being a moron, or is 120hz required for 60 fps? I've also been reading that there is no 'true' 120hz TVs, just things that give 120hz 'like' things, using a process involving stitching together 2 frames to form a composite 'transfer' frame from one to another.

Can anyone help clear this up? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Forget refresh rate, you should be more concerned about input lag and you'll have to go to a third party site to find that poo poo out anyway because the manufacturer would rather sell you some dumb whizbang features you don't give a poo poo about

http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-test-results/input-lag will give you some decent reviews as well as the option to sort by latency for TVs, it's a pretty good site and will give you a lot of information as well as specifics on stuff like Gaming, movies, etc.

Or do what I do when mine does this: turn off (not rest mode) ps4, unplug power cable, press power/eject buttons (console should beep), plug back in and it accepts discs again.

Awesome!

She looked like Page when TLOU was first revealed. They altered the face afterwards.

This. She looked a lot more like Page early on. Later, you could mistake her for Page if you weren't really paying attention because Johnson and Page sound somewhat alike. The robot girl doesn't look or sound like Lawrence at all though. I guess maybe the hair?

Gta5 question:
Back in the day, I had gta5 for the 360, and with it, I got a bunch if cool add ons, like cars and stuff that were stored in a special garage.

So, I just got gta5 for the ps4 today, and I transfered my Rockstar account over, but no special guns or cars to be found. And I checked the ps4 store and nothing is available for download. Am I out of luck?

Yes, the character transfer stuff only worked across the same console brand.

No, it also works from 360 to PS4. Probably needs to double check his Rockstar Social account. You can re-import but it'll overwrite your new versions of the characters I think.

Thanks everybody for all the help, I found a TV that's well within my price range, is rated 'good' in lag, and is a good size! Thank you all so much!

i had the disc eject defect and did at least 6 different internet remedies. the problem will come back eventually. the most impactful remedy for me was pulling the rubber foot out of the bottom but even that only fixed the thing for like 3-4 months. get a new system from sony under warranty (they will send you a totally different unit from your model number's run that hopefully won't develop the same issue) or embrace the all digital future.

there's no way sony pays for a AAA game in an established western franchise this gen and doesn't bring it. they supposedly are bringing us dragon quest 11 at some point they somehow brought yakuza 5 out of left field for ps3. the floodgates are open

plus it was an e3 keynote speech reveal

I mean, it looks like a game that was probably 320x240 being played at 1080p. Not much you can do with it... i'd still probably buy it if they translated it.
No that's just it, they did use high resolution assets for some things...but at random. For example, text inside of menus is scaled up but text in the rest of the game isn't.

I don't think Sony has anything to do with Automata, but yeah, it was revealed at E3, so it's sure to come over.

Nier was on xbox 360 I probably wrongly assumed they paid SE something for exclusivity

I got that extended warranty from Sony. 3 years. Mine has the recurring eject bug.

Problem is, I hate not having a ps4 handy when I DO have time to play. Do they cross-ship? Anyone know?

Nier is most definitely not for everyone (I played all the way through the "D" ending so it WAS for me) so definitely look into it a bit before blindly going to play it. You definitely need some level of patience with video games to play Nier.
