CorgiShinobi Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Some people don't deserve their PS4! But for real, if you've owned a PS3, I'm sure somewhere in the time frame of said ownership you've seen the warning "Do Not Turn Off or Unplug Console" during downloads and updates.

Mal Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Seems like a NeoGaf guy did it too. Niggas, what the fuck are you guys doing? Anyways, it seems like there could be a problem with some of the units' HDMI ports. We'll see. At least its not burning down houses... yet.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just read on IGN that there have been some hardware failures already. Might be isolated, but as the population of owners grows we should know more. inb4 0.5% of PS4s are affected equals a much higher percentage according to headlines/reports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 while neither is preferable, I'd much rather have an issue like the faulty HDMI, which is obviously immediately, rather than a defect that basically turns your console into a time bomb that may or may not go off before your warranty is up (360 RRoD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) I know one of the taco bell winners got his console bricked when he was downloading DC Universe and it froze so he UNPLUGGED IT FROM THE WALL. but why would you.. um. It's not something I'd do right away, but at some point if the thing's frozen you've got to turn it off. It's not like you can just leave it there forever waiting for it to maybe eventually do something. *Edit* - Also, unless you were updating firmware at the time it shouldn't brick the console, the worst it should do is corrupt that data you were trying to install. The fact that it did brick the console is worrisome. Edited November 14, 2013 by TheMightyEthan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I played the Knack demo at Best Buy. The controller feels great. Knack, however, does not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Some people are already streaming games on twitch with commentary. Does the PS4 just pick up your voice from the controller's headset or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 ...what would be the point of a headset if you couldn't talk to it? That would just be headphones at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredEffinChopin Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Damn it. I was totally cool with my decision to hold off on one of these until the summer or so, but the excitement in here is killing me... I feel like a total derelict. The Resogun review aren't helping at all either... I'd really love to play another Housemarque game, and especially a free one that is being so well-received... I may have to scrape together some funds and get in here sooner than I expected... That's not a permanent library game, right? I'd have to activate it from a PS4 in the first month? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 It'll be back on PS+ or it will be cheap later on. Wait until the PS4 has a decent library six months or a year from now; the hype is just hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just disregard the hype. Next week everyone will be bitching about their PS4s collecting dust or some other shit that they dont like about it. A day of hype equals 6 months of backlash on the internet. If you succumb to the hype, youll succumb to the backlash too. Best to not have any part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Get it when there's 10 games you want for it. Then you'll have enough to tide you over for a fair while and feel satisfied in your purchase. Otherwise you're on a somewhat limited library at the moment, and once they're played then you're going to be back on your current console/PC anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Seriously, you're not considering stumping up the cost of a PS4 to get a single game for free, are you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah, the only reason I did it was because I knew I was going to be getting one in the spring anyway for Destiny, and I figured the price wouldn't come down between now and then so I might as well get it now and be able to play stuff like AC4 via remote play in the meantime. Oops, I mean RAH! GET IT NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangelove Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I think the Antonio Banderas thing on Neogaf is pretty funny. This is the type of meme that would annoy me, but this just tickles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredEffinChopin Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Seriously, you're not considering stumping up the cost of a PS4 to get a single game for free, are you? Haha no, and if there is any game I'm not going to mind paying for after missing an opportunity for a free copy, it's going to be by a company whose work I've gotten as much joy out of as Housemarque. I am (or was, rather, before all of the much-welcome discouragement) considering getting in on the PS4 immediately just to be able to play that single game asap, and because the excitement is rubbing off on me. I sat pretty damned high on that SSDHD leaderboard for a while.... It'd be nice to artificially inflate my gamer ego by scrapping for a high spot early on. I'll be patient though, and continue to work through this queue of PS3 and PC games that I've got. I'll just be over here... listening... craning my neck and such...
