PS4: Friend List Bugged For Many Owners, Display Incorrect Information, WideSpread Issue

A strange glitch has hit Playstation 4 causing malfunctioning of Friend List.

Mikey322303725d ago

They needs to bring friends list notifications back.

Why is that not a notification feature?

Crazyglues3725d ago (Edited 3725d ago )

Yeah I would love if they could bring this back, and for those not sure what that is...

When you are signed in to your PSN account on PS4 - when people on your friends list sign-in there is no notification like there is on PS3 that your friend has just signed on..

Not a big deal, but a really helpful feature if you like playing with your friends - or people on your friends list..

Hope they can fix that in the next patch..

Same problem exists on the x1, bring it back... Though it sure is nice to be watching television and have it tell me my buddy wants to game! I'd have never known that if I was back in the dark ages where input switching was still needed

jocomat93724d ago

i have notifications off on ps3. I just wish ps3 people could see ps4 people online.

SnakeShady3725d ago

Because in a few years, when you will have about 2000 friends, a notification popping on your screen every 2 seconds will be very annoying.

CaEsAr-3725d ago

An option would be nice?

GhostTurtle3725d ago

Speak for yourself. Bring the damn feature back already! At least give me some sort of option to cut it on and off as I please (or choose the friends I want to display when they come on/off).

Crazyglues3725d ago

@ SnakeShady

yeah CaEsAr- I agree an option would be nice, for all the people who don't have no were near that number of friends..

I have about 40 and only about 10 are ever signed on at the same time..

Gazondaily3725d ago

How about an option to pick your 'close friends'. That would solve the problem. Unless of course, you have 200 close friends. Well then, either you're Nicolas Cage or don't understand the concept of close friends.

slazer1013724d ago

The option needs to be there to see your friends logging on or off. I personally like the feature. If you don't want to see notifications just have the option to turn it off like the PS3 has.

It;s been happening to me but no big deal since it;s not really a game breaker.

Automatic793725d ago

I am sure they will send a patch to fix.

Mikelarry3725d ago

Issue started just after the latest update. Also weird is cod ghost in game friendlist is also broken same symptoms as the psn

jackanderson19853725d ago (Edited 3725d ago )

i've no friends on the Playstation account :'( oh so lonely ha

sucks for those it affects although at least it's not that bad a bug to have

Funky Town_TX3725d ago

Yes it is. The whole point of paying to play online is to have a community. The PS4 online is not much better that the PS3 other than the chat feature, and the PS3 is free to play online. Sony needs to get this sh8t fixed ASAP.

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos9h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos6h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje6h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum9h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum5h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola4h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum4h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola4h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum3h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad6h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola4h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos4h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai6h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK5h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville2h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
