Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

They do not appear to be up now.

I am trying my 7-day free Vue trial. Personally, I would ditch DirecTV for this immediately if I could understand the controls. I'm confused on how the DVR/recording feature works for this though. I see I can add programs to "My Shows," but I can't really tell what it does as far as actually recording something. It also only keeps content for 28 days.

Bus alas, all of this may be worth the $100+ difference. Heck, even if I had to buy more PS4's to fill up my house or what have you, I would still make my money back within a year.

Crazy. The only other issue is unless my bitrate is above 5000 Kbps, the framerate is not ideal. That's the issue with relying on the Internet to provide you with television.

You don't need more PS4s all you need to an amazon fire stick which is $40 on amazon or amazon fire tv for $100 and you can use it in other rooms. It allows up to 5 streams at once. It's actually pretty good and they give you some good channels too. My biggest complaint before was the 720p resolution and 2.0 sound. No 1080p and no 5.1

Hmm, I assumed it was just a PS4 service only. Did not know that.

Upon further researching though, someone on reddit said this:

60 fps devices are as follows. Ps4, ps3, original chromecast, 2015 chromecast, and iPads. I don't have an iPhone to test it out. All fire tv devices are capped at 30 fps. That includes the 2015 fire tv.

I have two PS3's, so I'll try those later.

My issue wasn't so much the FPS. My issue is the resolution and sound..

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Reading great reviews of this Odin Sphere game, guess it is a remake/remaster of a PS2 game?

Honestly, more PS4s would almost be anti what you want since you can't have Vue running on more than one at a time. You CAN however watch Vue on PS4 while also watching on the aforementioned Firestick and PS3.

For example, in my house, the guest rooms have Firesticks so that family can watch TV when visiting. If someone is watching on the PS4, they can still watch at the same time. I cannot, however, watch on my man cave PS4 if someone is watching on the living room PS4.

Yeah, it is. There's a playable demo available for download on PS4. I played it last week and it was okay. Too easy which seems to be a major complaint. Even on hard, it's not that challenging especially with the additional moves the characters have.

Personally, I would rather have had a port of the PlayStation 3 exclusive - Dragon's Crown instead but that's just me. Oh well. If/when you play the game, hope you enjoy it.

You can watch Vue on your PS4 and PS3 at the same time? That's good to know, as I've got the two set up in different rooms.

Yup!!! I am cutting my satellite the second my contract is up. I absolutely love Vue and the interface with it and with it working on all my fire sticks, it's a no brainer for us to get rid of that $160 satellite bill.

That's too bad about it being easy. I really like challenging games.

The reviews here made me really interested in it

But if it's not a challenging game, on top of the 60 dollar price tag, I might wait for a sale down the road. I'll definitely check out the demo

It seems like the Refined mode is easier, but the classic definitely isn't.



I remember playing it on the PS2 (played it a little bit, but still) and it's as challenging as other Vanillaware games: It's easy until halfway through the game. Then, the difficulty kicks in.



It's not Ninja Gaiden or Demon's Souls, but it's not a walk in the park.
