PlayStation 4 Discussion

When I get my PS4 on Friday, I'll use the DS4 to play some Sonic Generations PC and see if it works.

A newssite says Windows automactically reads it without homebrew software, but uses an outdated API (whatever that means)

 

I'll probably get one for my PS3, I hate the Dualshock 3's triggers.

I think it means that you can't use the touchpad.

Chiming in to confirm PC compatibility.

By default, it uses Direct Input, and older interface that was used for Windows controllers before Xinput came along. Xinput is the interface intended for use with Xbox controllers, and it's what most controller compatible games for Windows utilize these days.

An unofficial Xinput wrapper has been released for the Dualshock 4, allowing your Pc to recognize it as a 360 controller. Naturally, the touch pad won't work under those conditions, and I hear rumble isn't supposed at the moment either.

Yosp implied they'd look into releasing proper PC drivers for full compatibility at a later date.

[Solkia]

I'm all for that. I can only fight the 360 dpad in Arkham Asylum for so long before I rip my hair out.

That's some fucked up shit. He obviously has no respect for his wife. I'd never treat my wife like that.

[Scar]

Hey look, its a dick!

I hope that fucking idiot gets his due from his poor wife.

Watch them get rid of the PS4's streaming feature because of this...That would suck so hard.

They aren't getting rid of it, but Twitch has pretty much said that you can't stream ANYTHING which isn't game related on their site.

So, say you have a movie you want to stream using your PS4. You can't do that?

[Dobkeratops]

Well, I'd imagine you could get into legal trouble streaming movies online.

 

That being said, twitch.tv is a subsidiary of justin.tv that was made specifically for games only. If you want to stream something else you need to use other service providers.

Are you allowed to do this in the first place? You can try UStream...maybe they'll be fine with it over there, I dunno.

NES PS4!

 

[Chaos Warp]

Eh, don't really like how it looks. the NES paintjob looks kinda weird on it. 

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

They should try a PS2 design instead.

[Solkia]

They should either be original or just leave it alone.

[KrazyBean]

NSFW. Anyway, here's another example of why The Playroom is banned from livestreaming.

 

 

Yep 

[Badnik Mechanic]

Ladies and gentlemen...

 

This is either the worst videogame advert of all time... or the best.

...Wow.

 

Installing Need for Speed Rivals, how long does it take? All in realtime.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that the PS4 is the Sonic of the next gen consoles.
