That headline is a lie. It's just speculation that it will be released "this year," which I thought was already the rumor.

That is some of the poorest reporting I've seen. "Has a release date" is not the same as "rumored to be released in November".

Yeah, silly clickbait title. And it's been rumored for the end of this year pretty much from the start when sources from Kotaku and Polygon first started talking about it.

I think calling it a silly clickbait title let's them off the hook. It's straight up lying and this is from a major entertainment reporting website.

Asemblance came out, completely mixed reviews but Kotaku recommends giving it a shot.

I played through it the day it came out and Kotaku is way overhyping it. If you're a fan of more "artsy" story driven games like I am then sure give it a shot but this is on the low end of those type of games in my opinion. Both the Kotaku article and the developers keep bringing up Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone and while yeah I'm sure those are inspirations this game is a PALE imitation of anything I've seen in both those series.

What happened to "My List" on the Netflix app? I have it on my tablet, but not my PS4. Anyone know how to get to it on PS4?

Navigate up, past the big featured title thingy. 'My List' is right above that. Counterintuitive, I think I stumbled across it while fumbling around to find it a while back.

re: The PlayStation 4 / PS4 Thread: Still Going Strong

Can someone explain how having 2 playstations would work? Do I need to buy PS+ twice for both playstations to be online at the same time? Can I install digital games on both systems? Could those games be played at the same time? or does the non-primary system get locked out?

Mainly, I'm wanting to play multiplayer games with my partner, but they don't have local co-op. So we need 2 PS4s and 2 TVs. But it isn't clear what else we need. From the research I'm seeing, as long as the primary and secondary setting is right, we should only need one copy of each game, and only 1 PS+ account?

On your "Primary PS4", anyone with a local account can login and play games installed on it and play online multiplayer. For the secondary PS4, you'll only be able to play digital downloads and online multiplayer while you're logged in as your PS+ user; other users won't have access.

So for your situation, your wife would use the Primary PS4, while you would login with your account on the second PS4. In this situation, you should only need one PS+ account and one purchase of a digital game to both play online.

The most basic question, is it stuff you bought or stuff you got free from PS+? Which content are you specifically speaking of?

From my understanding the minute PS plus expires you lose all access to playing those games until you renew it

re: The PlayStation 4 / PS4 Thread: Still Going Strong

Odd question... I must not be asking Google it correctly.

By accident I put in a Region 2 PAL DVD into the PS4. It played it perfectly.

So I tested other Region DVD's played Region 3 and 4

It also played a Region B Blu.

Is this normal that the PS4 plays all regions etc...and play PAL DVD's?

Thanks,

Of course not.

The PS4 for the USA market has a region 1 DVD, A for blu-ray. It should also play All Regions, dads and blu-ray discs.

I searched for PS4 dvd region, and a lot of people are asking for hacks.

PS4 is technically Region A locked. That's it. If it plays something other than Region A media then that means the software is region free - not the system.

Well, August is a really, truly sucky month for PS Plus Freebies on the PS4





It's like they saw the awesome Xbox One offerings and just threw their hands and said "Let's just wait until September".
