Hey, quick question regarding external drives on PS4. I currently use a 2TB external to store movies/TV. I have the drive fully partitioned to EXFAT. Can I partition the drive with other formats and still have the EXFAT partition work with the PS4? Thanks!


e:

NVM, doesn't look like you can partition a drive that's formatted as EXFAT Master Boot Record

Props to Sony for releasing remote play on Mac in a really smooth manner. It took about two minutes to set up and works great. :kiddo:

Has the Mac remote play app been broken in the last few weeks or something?

I can get it to connect to the PS4 fine but it crashes every time I try to use my main account. The only way I can get it working now is to connect a second controller and use an alt account. Any ideas what's happening ? It was working perfectly a few weeks ago!

Would recommend playing witcher 3 on the biggest screen possible and also sitting close to the screen. There's lots of text in the game that is bizarrely poorly optimised for console play, only making use of half the available screen space. Cool game though!

It was okay. FO4 is just bad.

It was the biggest gaming disappointment for me in a long long time. I put hours and hours into FO3 and New Vegas and bought 4 for €70 (!!) just so I could play it. I think I put in three or four hours and was just bored out of my mind. I also couldn't get over how bad the performance was for a ps4 title that looked like a game from 2010

My friend just got a ps4 and I'd like to get her either PS Now or PS Plus. Is either one especially better?

If she wants to play anything online you'll need to get her PS+
The free games it gives you on PS4 aren't super good from what I've seen...

Does the star wars battlefront dlc have any single player level stuff in it? I just want to mess around and be dart vader, fly an xwing and whatnot, don't care about playing online.

Waiting for the price to drop to where that's worth it. Not sure if $25 is it. But do I care about the dlc's?

Not enjoying Uncharted 4 as much as 2 or 3 to be honest 😟 there's SO much climbing in the game, it just starts to feel like filler very quickly. The gun fights are great and really show the progression from TLOU but they're few and far between. I keep waiting for it to get started but it just never seems to reach any highs like 2 or 3 did.

Does Doom have split-screen multiplayer? Will I need to actually buy a Call
Of Duty game to shoot my friends?

Yeah the COD series is basically the only good couch coop FPS on PS4. It's a real shame because ever since the PS3 there's been less and less couch coop. Time splitters 3 on the PS2 was the pinnacle for me and the lack of a HD update for it breaks my heart.

Is there any way to set the panning on the PS4's headphone output from the controllers? Like on iPhones there's an option to make the Left or Right side louder. I'm a bit hard of hearing in my right ear and was wondering if any knows of any solutions!

Yeah I heard from friends. The story is just shockingly poor. The graphics are insane though. It was the first FPS I played on PS4 and when I moved on to Fallout 4 I was super disappointed it didn't look anywhere near as good as Destiny

Speaking of Rockstar, The biggest tragedy of the console generation transition was Max Payne 3 not getting a PS4 remaster. I'd easily pay full price for it. The thoughts of those never-ending load times on the PS3 make me weep.

If you shoot an unarmored enemy in the head with a pistol in Uncharted 4, they die instantly.

I'm playing it this very second and they don't.

In other news, apparently there's a rumor/report from an "insider" that Bethesda is going to release a new remaster of an older game. Which basically means Skyrim since that's the only one that makes sense.

It'll be Fallout 3 on their janky rear end Fallout 4 engine :getin:

If they'd release Fallout 3 and New Vegas without memory leaks and stable framerate at the very least I'd actually be interested, after a while all my playthoroughs were stopped by the bugs (and not Cazadores) so I'd be glad to play the game in peace.

Thinking of Fallout, did anything ever come out of the "Fallout 4 allows mods" promise? I didn't hear anything about any mods for the console version.

They should do the same with FO4 :smug:

Seriously though,FO:NV was the buggiest console game I've ever played. Absolutely disgracefully bad. FO4 mods have just started coming to Xbox one and should be on PS4 soon!

As a publisher and producer they've been making amazing stuff (Dishonored, Doom, Wolfenstein) but as devs they've just lost it.

If you haven't played it since release it runs a lot better nowadays. Mostly 30 with occasional dips in heavy combat or dense urban areas.

I'm actually tempted to reinstall FO4 based on this. I tried it when it came out but the Framerate was totally abysmal and soured my experience with it.

Patched or not, Bethesda suck rear end at developing.
