Hot Dog Day #82 posted:So are we going to see any true 3D games this generation that will require having a 3D TV? I know that we may be getting a patch down the road to play 3D blurays, but that is probably a different animal from expecting to be able to play video games with the same glasses that movies require. All 3d is is splitting the image in half and showing something different on each half. Then you use your tv controls to combine them. There were true 3d games last generation and im sure there will be this generation.

I've been a bit nervous about putting it into perma-sleep mode all the time, even though it's super beneficial. I just don't want random power outages to give me safe-mode scares. They do. If they don't, there's a setting to check. I'm at work so can't look at it but I think it's under Settings -> Power save. Will let you choose what functions are available during standby. (Like USB charging.)

I bet most PS3 ports will support 3D, even if they didn't before, but I don't see many PS4 games doing it. Sony pushed 3D hard, and when it didn't gain much traction they sort of abandoned it.ExCruceLeo posted:You can't play 3d blu rays right now? I didn't know that. It will be patched later. I don't even think the Xbone supports them yet either, for whatever reason.

I'm avoiding the AC4 thread for fear of spoilers but I have a question. I just got to the point where (Thatch, I think his name was) is showing me how to sail off Salty Bank. I have to get 70 Metal off Military Brigs. Well I fought one (over and over, they are tough) and finally got it, but it was 65 metal only. So I fought and survived a second one. But all the sudden is world war 3 on the water and I'm toast. Any tips? Am I missing something obvious?

Eh I'm not so sure what makes it super beneficial to put it in standby all the time. Standby seems like a mode that's good for every now and then, like when a patch is going to be released that night or your controller finally runs out of juice. The difference between booting from cold and from standby mode is a few seconds. I guess for the people out there who play games every day for 6 hours it's nice.

At that point in the game, just run. Take off for a dock. The next objective is to upgrade part of your ship, then pay off a guy to remove wanted level.

That remove a whole wanted level while still being technically piracy.

Dantes posted:It may be better for you to bring them to the point where you can board them and ignore them/use them as shield until you dealt with the other ship around. If your life get too low, you board one of them (invulnerable while you do) and use the option to repair your ship after the boarding. Additionally, you can sorta cheese the naval combat if you get surrounded. Get one guy down to boarding range and board him. Your ship stops taking damage and/or being attacked, but other ships still move around and somewhat ignore you. Thus you've sorta reset the positioning and give yourself a stress break if you've got like 4 guys on you.

EDIT: vvvvvvv You can do Kenway's Fleet thingie from the iPad when the PS4's off. It's pretty cool. Actually, I find it a lot more convenient to manage from the iPad since you don't need to keep going back to your captain's quarters.

Can I do the Kenways Fleet thing completely from an iPad without booting up the game on my PS4 and have the progress carry over when I do boot it up the PS4? Or have them both running at the same time? It's really fun for some reason.

But all the sudden is world war 3 on the water and I'm toast. I just did that. Try to find solitary brigs on the water and fight them. If you have to get mixed up with more than 1 ship try to make sure another brig isnt sailing in the direction. A brig+schooner isnt too bad. Use bracing alot. Shoot them in the butt. Board them and repair. I fought 2 brigs+1 schooner at the same time and managed to come out on top by just maneuvering better than them and boarding to become invulnerable/repair. Use your spyglass to identify ships/watch the horizon. Look at your map and see the direction the ships are heading.

Basically anything you can do when you go in your ship and press O on that map, you can do except friend acceleration/healing.

I think even if you die, you keep what you loot (I got creamed after I got the first 65 and kept it), so it may not a big deal if you get sunk now anyway.

I left my console in standby mode last night to download the patch, but it didn't work. The patch downloaded but didn't install. When I tried to install it, there was an error and it failed. Then it re-downloaded the patch and installed it just fine. But that was annoying. Hopefully next time it's able to download and install the patch in standby without me doing anything. Also, it's annoying how game patches don't download until after you start the game. It should instantly check for patches the second you insert the disc and the game proper begins installing, not after you launch it.

It probably doesn't want to try and do system-level updates while in standby in case something goes catastrophically wrong (like a power outage or whatever) in the middle. Imagine just waking up to a bricked PS4 with no idea why. It does seem to autopatch games in standby at least. Mine did patch as soon as I booted up without a redownload, so I'm not sure why you got an error on your download.

Anyone who has done some video uploading, I have my facebook publish set to friends only. Pictures upload fine to friends, but videos are showing as uploading to 'Me only'. It says to change the setting by going to PSN->link with services->etc, but that menu shows it as being set to friends. Whats the dealio?

No, but you can set up a perimeter to keep meddling children and raccoons away from the power cable when you initiate it manually.

Am I the only one that has a couple of UPS' that all my electronic gear plugs into? It only gives me maybe three or four minutes assuming one console, the receiver, and the TV are all on, but that's enough time to (a) shut down everything after a power outage and (b) not worry about weird power stuff in the middle of updates. I also have my router, modem, and server plugged into one. The server shuts off after five minutes without power, but the router/modem lasts HOURS on the UPS. It's awesome. Edit: 1.51 downloaded for me but didn't install, with the system on standby. Ah well, at least it downloaded!

Wikipedia Brown posted:No, but you can set up a perimeter to keep meddling children and raccoons away from the power cable when you initiate it manually. Yeah and at least you'd know what happened and that it's not just some random hardware failure. Since downloading the update is the time-consuming part and installing it is the potentially dangerous part. I can understand why they'd do it this way. At least if something goes off the rails you know what's up and can go directly to trying to do a safe mode update from USB or whatever.

I would guess there is a backup non-volatile storage of the OS/bootrom image that you can reset like clearing the CMOS on your motherboard to restore default BIOS. Though Sony might have this hidden away somewhere and will charge you to send it in and be cleared by a technician.

I hope they bring DLNA support back soon. I realize that I basically give up listening to music if I don't have my PC on. And I don't have my PC on if I don't want to play a video game on it. And the PS4 has removed my want to play PC games.
