PS4 Pro boost mode is interesting. Playing games with no PS4 Pro mode in that hardware profile. Seems like it would mostly be a boost in framerate to games with variable framerate, less dips in games with locked framerate, and more consistent resolution for games with dynamic resolution. But games which are locked at 30fps will remain so. Kind of like what you can do with a hacked New 3DS, forcing games to run in New 3DS mode, for pretty significant performance improvements for some games, but also bugs and glitches in other games. |

Let's say I go the route of fitting a 1TB internal drive like this. And in addition I get a big external hdd. Is the approach here to basically copy games from the external HDD to the internal HDD when you want to play them? Or can one play them straight off the external HDD, but you might get worse performance? |

As long as you get a USB3 external caddy you should barely notice a difference. USB3 is comparable in speed to current SATA. |

Resogun - I fired this up on the PS4 last night. It's still a mighty pretty thing when all guns are blazing. But I couldn't help noticing there are only two Beex People* on its leaderboards (who I'm PS friends with, which is obviously not an exhaustive list). I'd have thought this was a game that was bummed hard here. WHAT GIVES? *Myp and Zoidberg. Zoidberg appears to be much, much better than Myp. |

Must say I prefer it on the big-screen, the spectacle of a well-timed overdrive on a screen full of enemies is mind-blowing. But it's super on Vita too.

Help me Beexy-Wan K'nobbers, you're my only hope. I paired both my PS4 controllers with another console while I was away this weekend. Now neither of them will pair again with mine. I've used a cable to connect but it won't see them, I've tried holding the PS and Share buttons and I've even tried resetting them using a pin to the hole behind the L1 trigger. Now it's stuck on the Welcome Back screen and I can't even boot into safe mode because it still won't recognise the controllers even in there. Also tried a keyboard but it doesn't recognise it either. Basically I'm stuck. |

Sony’s outlined the full list of features that you can expect to find in PlayStation 4 firmware update v5.00, and it’s much the same as what leaked recently. To recap, the platform holder’s redesigning sub-accounts on the PlayStation Network to make it easier for adults to control what their children can and can’t see on the console. It’s also adding in new language support, improving broadcasting features, and revising the Quick Menu so that you can access your Notifications without quitting your game. Other features that it’s adding include a new Friends List management tool which will allow you to create custom groups of buddies, and it’s also going to allow you to select your Notifications pop-up colour. To be honest, there’s nothing really all that exciting here at all, so it’s definitely the weakest major PS4 firmware update that the console’s received since launch. But to be fair to the hardware it is in a very sturdy position already, and while there are certainly still some things that we want (system-wide supersampling on PS4 Pro, for example), that list is very small right now. |

Hackers have made significant progress on the PS4 just recently. Coolest feature in my mind is that they've managed to unlock the PS2 emulator, and it appears to be able to play pretty much any PS2 game, with 4x original resolution, significant improvement to framerates, and quicker load times. You need to be on fw 4.05 though. |

*braces self* So, my PS4 has a 2TB drive in it, and I've just got a PS4 Pro. I'm still keeping the PS4, but I guess the Pro will now be the "main" one, so it makes sense to swap the drives over, so I can fill the Pro with pointless shit I'll never play. From what I can gather, I need some kind of USB drive to plug into the old PS4 to backup as much as possible, then throw that drive into the Pro, restore the backup and redownload anything else. Similarly, throw the drive from the Pro into the PS4, and restore/download anything that I want on there. I don't happen to have 2TB of storage lying around (I think the PS4 is about 1.3TB full, it was trying to transfer that onto the Pro that reminded me it had a bigger drive), so if I'm being selective, is there anything I should make sure that I backup, because I won't be able to redownload it (I'd be thinking about something like PT, if I had PT), or anything else I should know? *fetches popcorn* |

| Post subject: | Re: PS4 confirmed |
I would do it the other way: delete the largest games off the Pro’s drive until whatever’s left fits onto the backup drive. Obviously anything you have on disk or bought from PSN you can download again and/or let the PS4 copy it back from the disk. I’d delete the largest first so you have the fewest number of things to re-downloads later. PT is the only instance I know of of something being removed from PSN. |

Also, curse Sony for not making PS4 hard drives interchangeable. (I suspect they are encrypted to the system they are formatted in, as a anti-hacking measure. It still makes this all much harder than it could have been.) |

| Post subject: | Re: PS4 confirmed |
Do you actually really need to transfer any of this? I mean save games yeah, but you can do that with any USB drive; and the games you can just re-download them. Obviously that'll take longer but for the sake of avoiding complexity it's a piece of piss to just queue up some downloads and walk away. |
