More like 12 things that everyone who owns a PS4 already knows if they read the manual.

Kingthrash3603487d ago (Edited 3487d ago )

He didn't even state real things people may not know ...like how to put a YouTube app on the ps4 or playing online browser free games..smh amateurs.. Double tapping the home button to go directly back into you last app ...streaming mp4 videos...I can go on ... syncing it with your Sony TV ( turn on your ps4 your TV will come on...turn your TV off it turns the ps4 off if nothing is running) playing certain online games without PS+. Smh

BX813487d ago

You should write article. Lol

brads43487d ago

You should always read the manual.

guitarded773487d ago (Edited 3487d ago )

I know what I can't do... make my own custom playlists for in game music. Wish Sony would get on it. Drive Club is on the way, and I like having my racing set list.

EDIT: OMG this list is crap. Everyone who owns a PS4 knows this stuff already. Don't waste your time clicking through 12 pages of stuff you already know.

windblowsagain3487d ago

Kingthrash360.

Did you mean this.

Into browser of your PS4:)

zeee3487d ago

I didn't read the manual. Seriously, I never touched that thing but I know all of those features. Still, I can imagine there are plenty of gamers out there who didn't know some of these features if not all.

DragonKnight3487d ago (Edited 3487d ago )

In the interest of sparing people from reading things that everyone already knows.

12. Log in with Facial recognition (knew that from day one)

11. Easily take screenshots (you mean no one knew about Sony's most discussed feature?)

10. Charge your controller from standby mode (really?... really? ugh)

9. Manage your data (*facepalm*)

8. Switch between applications with ease (is it just me, or does it seem like the author just unboxed his PS4?)

7. Play PS4 games on your Vita (WHO DOESN'T KNOW THIS?)

6. Find out how rare your achievements are. (You mean by doing what everyone does and look at their own trophy list? Wow, I never knew that. /s)

5. Save Power [Meaning set a power down time] (Yeah, this existed in the PS3)

4. Control the console with your voice (read answer to login with face recognition)

3. Use more than just the official headset ( https://www.youtube.com/wat...

2. Backup Your Data (maybe I should have used that last video for this comment instead)

1. Type with Dualshock 4 Gyro. (Umm, the text box actually TELLS you this.)

I seriously think that the person who wrote this video has been living in the Tibetan mountains and just came down recently, purchased a PS4, and unboxed it for the article.

BG115793487d ago

If you have a smart-tv that can use simplink, you can use the TV's remote to turn on/off the PS4 and navigate in the menu.

lfc_4eva3486d ago

Very true.

Most young people lost the skills to read in the 90's.

jrshankill3486d ago

Stopped at "9. Manage Your Data".

If I couldn't manage my data on a console, I think I would have a problem.

bouzebbal3487d ago (Edited 3487d ago )

i heard it is possible to go to standby mode with the game still running so you can start off exactly where you stopped, a bit like Vita and PSP. Can anyone confirm and tell me how to do that?

Helpful bubble awaits :)

Th4Freak3487d ago

Not true, that would be the Suspend/Resume mode that they promised on launch and according to Yoshida "it's still in development"...

MagUk3487d ago

No i think its just on the x1 at the moment.

Oschino19073487d ago (Edited 3487d ago )

You can suspend a game while you use other media like movies, music, Netflix, etc... And you will be right where you left off.

But otherwise the full feature of suspend/resume isn't out yet. Don't recall it ever being promised on launch though.

MagUk3487d ago

@Th4Freak

I was replying to abzdiine about it being available at this present time. No dobut the ps4 will have this facility soon.

bouzebbal3487d ago

thanks guys, helpful bubble for you all :)
i really thought it was possible to do it. i hope they bring this feature soon.

badz1493487d ago

manual, LOL!

bunch of noobs!

Kidmyst3487d ago

I didn't even read the manual and found how to do all of these just using it and messing with it.

Kemo_Spear3487d ago

*sung to the tune of TV's Star Trek*

Click bait
This article is nothing but click bait.

Orionsangel3487d ago

Manual? Haha! Part of the fun is figuring things out for yourself.

cj1pate1013487d ago

Yet you still can't multitask worth shit when PC has been for years.

Muzikguy3487d ago (Edited 3487d ago )

Lol! I always throw my manuals away... Or put them up. I don't ever read those things. As for the list, I'm not even going to read it. I saw the first one about facial recognition and stopped. Yes, I knew we could do that. Sites that split everything up though I don't like

Not to mention how does a site like this think it knows more than the PS community does?! <banhammer>

bennissimo3487d ago

LOL "Things I didn't know I could do with my PS4."

Play games? Because the only game that's ever kept my attention on the console so far has been Transistor.

Rachel_Alucard3486d ago

More like click each page to give free hits to a site that tells you captain obvious levels of information.

iNFAMOUZ13486d ago (Edited 3486d ago )

i havent read a manual since 1995 or alot earlier lol

saadd203486d ago

agreed hundred percent..nothing I did not know from before..and we are just giving it hits for no reason..rather go to the official site, they may have 12 things we actually did not know before!

What a joke of article, seriously...

Mega243487d ago

Whatculture just wants clicks, everyone knows about this.

TriangleOffense3487d ago

12 things on 12 pages = close link

Spenok3487d ago

Yeah this article was terrible. Not a single thing that hasn't been known since week one or two.

kopite963487d ago

this article is nothing but p**s.

after nearly 12 months i think most people would know about these features, if they didnt what the hell have they being doing with there ps4

f**ck this article in its stupid a**e

Knushwood Butt3487d ago

So true.

Pretty much the only one that was relatively new to me, was typing with the DS4 gyro. Stumbled onto it by chance after wondering what the icon was. Works pretty well, and now I use it whenever I type.

Muzikguy3487d ago

That's the list?! Wow... Wtf. Glad I didn't read them. One per page is pathetic too and tells everyone "RUN AWAY!" anyway lol

qwerty6763487d ago

really why couldnt they just list all 12 on one or two pages?

god i hate sites that do this.

mushroomwig3487d ago

More clicks equals more revenue, which is literally the only reason this article exists since it doesn't contain anything people don't already know. Sigh.

Psygnosis3333487d ago

They want cliks :P for avery view on theres site thay got more comercials thats why thay have constantly to make this stupid staff top '10 best caracters in video games'top this ..top that lol AND SEPARATED.. I even herd that some sites paid someone to cklik-open that adress constantly lol
100 people X 10 clik this tipe of artikle thats 1000 cliks :\
I dont know how to explain i admit :P

Darth Gamer3487d ago

So, I have a pair of X07's Headset for my XBOXONE. This says any headset will work with the PS4. Can anyone confirm if I can use these WITH THE MIC for my PS4. I have never tried and I'm at work.

fei-hung3487d ago

If it has an audio jack you can connect into the pad you can.

I've used a whole bunch of non gaming headsets that have a mic built in and they work fine.

Darth Gamer3487d ago

Actually, the more I think about it, the headset will more than likely work BUT, the mic probably will not due to the fact that the XBOXONE needs an adapter plugged into your controller. This adapter then controls all of the volume for both the headset and the mic including turning on chat If I remember. Anyways, I will try it when I get home. Thank you for the reply though. :)

MediEvil 2 Remake May Be Shadow Dropped At PlayStation Showcase/State Of Play In May 2024

A remake of MediEvil 2 may be getting shadow dropped at the rumored PlayStation Showcase or State of Play presentation in May, 2024.

What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.

Cacabunga4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

A rumored game at a rumored show.. we’ve seen it all

TiredGamer4h ago

Agreed. The first remake was stylistically beautiful and a very noticeable improvement over the original in every regard. And it was reasonably priced and sustainably developed (i.e. not some mega big budget game that was do or die for the developer).

Zeke686h ago

Thanks for the spoilers... :(

RonnySins5h ago

Another day, another remake. Ugh!

SonyStyled5h ago

If you played the original print I can see your annoyance. I didn’t and probably a lot others the past 20 years.

Was it any good? Would you suggest playing the original print of 2, or suggest the remake? Just wondering because I didn’t play the originals as I had an n64 at the time

TiredGamer4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I played the first remake and absolutely loved it. The quality of life and control improvements were very noticeable. I tried playing the PS1 original and gave up halfway through at the janky controls.

Expect the same for part 2. The PS1 version is janky as heck, but I would gobble up an improved remake day one.

The beauty of this kind of stuff is that I find myself enjoying more retro gaming today, so a relatively low budget classic remake (call it a single-A release) is exactly what is missing from first party releases in the modern age. I don’t want every game to be an unsustainable AAAA endeavor that is just overwhelming in every regard. Truly miss when game releases could be modest-sized surprises and still be commercially successful/viable.

Bring on more quality classic remakes!

Knightofelemia5h ago

Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.

Omegasyde4h ago

My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).

I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder

InUrFoxHole9m ago

SOCOM! SOCOM! SOCOM!
But please not like Socom 4

"Darkest Dungeon II" is coming to Playstation consoles on July 15th, 2024

"The Vancouver-based (Canada) indie games developer Red Hook Studios are today very happy and excited to announce that their roguelike /strategy/RPG “Darkest Dungeon II”, is coming to Playstation consoles (PS5 and PS4) via PSN on July 15th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

TwoPicklesGood6h ago

Don't sleep on this, it's a great day

Michiel19891h ago

I personally didn't enjoy 2 as much as I did 1. Actually didn't even finish it.
I do praise that they didn't just carbon copy the 1st game and added more of everything, but I think that during the process a lot of what made Darkest Dungeon appealing to put a ton of hours in, was lost.

The new mode does look cool and I will definitely jump back into it and try it out.
