This doesn’t necessarily mean that he is invisible, it might just be normal for that neighborhood!

Appearing offline is a feature of this firmware update, not any previous firmware. You might have gotten confused since its been talked about for awhile (the firmware was announced, then beta access was announced, and finally its released).

Turning off Trophy screenshots will solve this, its true, just the same as not turning on the PS4 in the first place will also solve this (and we have had that feature since day one!).

If someone immediately believes something they read on the internet, without fact checking at all (not even taking into account that its April 1st), then to that I say, a fool and his money are easily parted. To add insult to injury, if it clearly stated at the end of the video that it was a joke, and they couldn’t…

Exasperates? Do you mean exacerbates?

I think half-assed is being generous. No play lists? Seriously? How was this not one of the first core features? I love RB, but come on, finish the game before you release it.

Unfortunately, PDP makes nothing but garbage in my experience, so this is not an upgrade, or even a lateral move, its a severe downgrade.

Its a per year salary, and thats for entry level developers. Get some Talent in there and that will easily double; and I don’t know about you, but I want a least some of the developers to be of the quality that gets more than the green, fresh out of college, developer.

I don’t know. I have 4 controllers, all bought at different times over the last couple years, from a couple different retailers, and they all seem to have pretty much the same battery life. I would wager that you are an outlier, though I have nothing but anecdotal evidence to support that.

It is an amazing controller, by far the most comfortable and responsive controller I have used, but the battery life is pretty poor. Its trivial to plug in a backup controller while you are using the other controller (even more so if you have a dock) so it has no real impact as far as I am concerned.

I think that its a non-issue as well, but 4 hours sounds about right (maybe more like 4.5, pushing 5 on a good day). I have four DS4 controllers, so I always have one charged (this is why its a non-issue, just have two DS4 controllers and problem solved) but I tend to go through a full charge in an evening (like an…

I touch the pad constantly also, and its pretty aggravating. Just a very light touch with the tip of my thumbs. I have considered taking my DS4 apart and disabling the touch pad myself.

I definitely agree with your last point, that Sony has no idea how these things will be used, and that they exist to be bullet points, but the prior point is just wrong. Many of these things that Sony supposedly copied from other companies, have been projects that Sony has worked on for years before the other…

Seriously. I game on a console for exactly this reason. No upgrades.

There is an expansion port in the back used for a camera, not sure if it has the bandwidth needed for this though.

1080p is 2k

Perfect.

Exactly this. If you rely on undocumented or undefined behavior to try and trick the system into doing something that it was not intended to do, and that behavior changes, you have only yourself to blame. It doesn’t matter if its making a level in Mario Maker, or building a AAA title from scratch.

To me, “good” is (thick, but soft) memory foam (Tempurpedic style), with cooling, adjustable legs/head (indepently for each side of the bed). “Decent” is below “good” but still perfectly acceptable, maybe mid-tiered sleep number or a cheaper memory foam brand. You might be able to hit “decent” with $1500 if you were…

I have done quite a bit of bed shopping over the last few years and I can say with certainty that you cannot find a decent bed for $500, you might get an acceptable bed for $1000, but ‘decent’ starts at $2000 and ‘good’ higher than that. Of course what acceptable, decent, and good mean to you, and where your bar is…
