So if I have both consoles hooked up, which one will the remote turn on?

Obi-Wanma

You likely wouldn't be able to pair it with both. Pairing it with one device would disconnect it from the other. That's what happens when you hook a dualshock 4 to your PS3.

Michael Corvin

Nada.

Decker

Nope.

I love how elegant and understated this theme is.

Lorenzo, got it. Will definitely check The Order for you this weekend.

If I'm able to snag extra codes (I'm going with a friend who doesn't own a PS3 any more) I'll give them away here.

Michael Corvin

Here's a dumb question. Whenever I go to the "New Games Monthly" tile, it shows two games(Injustice and Ponchos), but It has a big "Join Now" tag with the three PS+ options. Is that always like that? Every time I see the "Join Now" it makes me think I ran out.

Adam Tyner

Yeah, it's always like that. I have no idea why. To avoid all that, I just go through the process on sonyentertainmentnetwork.com instead. (Plus I can get the Vita stuff at the same time there...)

It's on the PS4 store now.

It's just Sony's continued policy of

mewmartigan

yeah, this. thank you good sir.

Do it sony!

Decker, thanks for reminding me about the webstore. That added Injustice to my library, so I should be able to get it when I want it.

First major announcement of the weekend. It seems to have leaked from The Game Awards or Playstation Experience:

STREET FIGHTER V EXCLUSIVE TO PS4 AND PC IN 2015.

See the trailer:

Bummer, hope its just a timed exclusive as I was a big fan of Street Fighter IV and would have wanted to play it on XBox. Although depending on the release date maybe i'll have a PS4 by then. Isn't much different from Tomb Raider that everyone slammed Microsoft for, given the previous iteration was multiplatform.

Here's IGN's article on it - http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/12/...-on-ps4-and-pc

XavierMike

Some people on GAF are saying the producer said there wasn't money to make the game, so Sony might have stepped in to help like Nintendo did with Bayonetta. We will need more details to know for sure.

Capcom is having money issues? You mean re-releasing a million different versions of SFIV and Resident Evil isn't raking in the dough?

slop101

Also, fighting games have sold exponentially better on the PS3 than on the 360, compound that by the the abysmal sales of the X1 in Japan, and it's almost not even worth it to Capcom to release SFV on the X1.

Michael Corvin

How comparable to Tomb Raider is it really? Same scenario, but were sales comparable?

fumanstan

Back in 2009, they said Street Fighter IV had sold 2.5 million copies. VGChartz says its much, much higher.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/n...-presentation/

Ultra Street Fighter IV, the last iteration, apparently sold 500K and Super Street Fighter IV sold 300K. Not counting digital upgrades, though.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/n...-presentation/

So if you're trying to take the angle that exclusivity is less of an issue because it sold less (apologies if not, but it sounds that way by your phrasing), I'd disagree. Tomb Raider is over 6.5 million copies, but Street Fighter doesn't seem like a slouch in sales either.

Michael Corvin

Wasn't asserting anything. Just curious if it could play a factor.

I'm thinking I should upgrade the HD soon. Is it possible to transfer my downloaded games (PS Plus and some stand- alone games I bought) to an external HD and then put them on the new drive, or do I have to re-download from PSN? If so, that could be a problem due to my ISP's monthly cap.

Brack

From everything I've read online, you would have to redownload everything. When you put in the new hard drive, you'll have to have the PS4 software to download to a USB thumb drive so the system will be able use the new hard drive. It'll be like starting over when you first bought the system. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm planning on upgrading my hard drive this weekend.

Dan

You can do it without downloading everything again, but it takes some effort. You essentially need to create a ghost image of the original hard drive, then load that image onto the new one before you install it back in the console. Not the most user friendly process and requires a computer and the right software to do it... But it can be done.

redcat

Thanks for the replies. I decided to go ahead and do the HD upgrade and just deal with downloading what I need to. I guess I'll do it gradually to avoid overages.
After putting in the new HD, I ran into a problem with the PS4 not recognizing the system software on my flash drive, so I can't even get it to boot up. After a search that turned up others having the same problem, it seems that it's due to Sony waiting until Tuesday's store update to take care of whatever they need to on their end. I'm trying a workaround right now that will hopefully take care of the problem. I'll post the link if it does, because following Sony's updating path leads to a non-working PS4.

redcat

Alright, the link did the trick, unlike actually doing the download through the Playstation.com process. So if you do the upgrade this weekend, put this file into the PS4>UPDATE folder instead of the 2.03 update that Sony sends you to.

I changed out my HDD about a month ago and while it wasn't too difficult, it's still a royal pain compared to the One where I just plugged a tiny external HDD into the USB port on the back. At least with the new Library setting in the PSN Store, you no longer have to search and scour for your previous purchases.

I'm off to the PlayStation Experience this morning after I finish my hospital rounds. Will probably miss the Keynote unfortunately, but looking forward to the exhibit. If I get a chance to talk to someone from Plus, I'm going to ask about increasing Online Storage. When several games like inFamous, DRIVECLUB and even Trials Fusion utilize over 100 MB game saves, well 1 GB of storage doesn't last very long.
