Firmware 7.00 out this week. Party chats increased from 8 to 16 participants. The remote play app will be available to download for all Android 5.0 devices and not locked to Sony Android devices anymore. To pair a DS4 by bluetooth, you will need Android 10.0. I assume that you'll still be able to connect your DS4 by USB with any other Android firmware.

I'm sure XDA will have ROMS out for the OP3 as soon as the official builds are out for the newer devices

Facebook integration has been removed.

Basically, you'll no longer be able to upload shares (videos, screenshots, links to gameplay broadcasts) or Trophy information to Facebook -- functionality that's been in place since the PS4 launched. Removal of Facebook integration also means that linking your PlayStation Network account to your Facebook account isn't possible, so details like profile pictures imported from Facebook, and various friends list features are gone.

Remote Play app now out for all Android 5.0+.

Going to give it a bash when I'm home and see how it runs.

Is there any way of getting your ps4 controller to work with it if you don't have Android 10? That requirement is so bloody ridiculous. The onscreen controller is awful for gaming. I think my wifi isn't good enough for it anyway. It kept dropping out for me when I was in another room.

quinnd6

Tried the remote play again and it's unusable for me unless I'm in the same room as the PS4 but then I'd just use the PS4 itself wouldn't I.
I wasn't missing out by not having this all these years.
My WiFi isn't good enough.
It needs a reliable constant fast WiFi connection.
I don't have that.

It would have been a nice feature on the PS4 if you could have two external hard drives connected to the console at the same time and you could transfer games from one external drive to the other.

Don't think this is worthy of its own thread so I'll post it here.

Looking to buy a second controller, is there much of a difference from the official one and something like this - amazon.co.uk/Controller-Powcan-Bluetooth-Playstation-Vibration/dp/B07TGD4C3N/ (can't post the link, sorry)?

Don't know anything about that controller but I bought a cheap controller before and it was useless.
Ended up buying the proper controller.

muzim

Do the official controllers every go on sale around this time of year?

muzim

If anyone hears of controllers going on sale just give me a shout

They are 40euro in GameStop, Smyth's and Argos I think..

Anyone know if cex would take my ps sounding like a jet engine?.. I was going to get that PS4 pro offer but don't really want to be stuck with another ps so was going to trade into cex..

If you can't get it from Argos today, try reserving it and picking it up when you can. I think they honour the price at reservation time.

muzim

Thanks guys, will reserve one now. Also, have an old controller but the covering on the analog sticks is in bits - would the below do the trick or is there something better out there?

How do Control and the new Star Wars run on the standard PS4?
Thinking of what games to stick on the Santa list.

It's pretty easy to take the controller apart and fit new thumbsticks, you can even fit xbox1 ones which don't have that nasty rubber finish of the ds4 ones, either can be picked up cheap on eBay.

I'm useless when it comes to these things. Don't the thumbsticks come with the below set so I could just use them?

No, thumbsticks don't come with that.

Sorry meant to say thumb grips - which is all I need, no?

Not really sure where to post this but I bought a PS4 today and it came with a code for some Fortnite stuff, it says Neo Versa Bundle on the box. I have no interest in Fortnite at all so if anyone here wants the code they can have it, first person to quote this post can have it.
