Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Do you have to turn on your PS4 and then shut it off and turn it on again in safe mode or if your PS4 is already off can you just start it up in safe mode?

1.Switch off your PS4 using the power button on the front of your console.

2.Hold down the power button and listen out for two beeps (this takes approximately seven seconds).

3.Ensure that your PS4 controller is connected via USB cable. Turn it on. You’ll now be presented with the following options.

When presented with the Safe Mode menu, you’ll see the option to Rebuild Database.

Did the rebuild database last night and I'm glad I did. My PS4 pro is running smooth again especially when navigating the menus. I also notice it's finally doing the updated while in rest mode which is great. I'm going to do this once every 3-4 months from now on.

Hmm...mine doesn't do this so maybe I should rebuild mine too.

So does it remove any of my library, games (patches) I've downloaded or saved data...or is it more of a defrag type of thing, like an old 2003 Windows desktop?

More like a defrag type thing. All my folders and everything seemed the same. I didn't notice anything deleted.

I ended up doing it tonight, much smoother now and no files were lost.

Same here, every few months.

So I think we are looking at a 250 for slim and 350 for pro most likely after or around E3. The slim gold ps4 is in the target add I like June 11th or something for 250.

Long-running futuristic racing game series. Think F-Zero and you're on the right track (no pun intended)

Expectations lowered a bit on Sony ever including BC in their consoles again.

"When we've dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much," says Ryan. "That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"

I feel the same, maybe nostalgia for 30 seconds and then I'm done. I barely have time to play the great games out now for this generation, let alone go back and play old, ugly games.

With that being said I know some folks love playing those old games so just my opinion.

Yet they have a subscription service that lets you play like 500 PS3 games.

They're adding PS4 games to the service, so that could be their answer to anyone wanting backward compatibility - pay for it.
