PS4 Megathread goes fourth.

dulpit

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody might have an old ps4 controller that's physically intact but doesn't work that they might want to offload? My small fella has become obsessed with the controller I have, but I only have 1. I'd happily pay postage/etc. Not sure if this is best place, but thought it might be worth the punt..

Fisher-Price make a controller shaped toy with buttons and sounds and stuff, only like €10.

Know someone who also got a dog chew toy that was controller shaped for their kid, think they hid that fact from their OH.

I got my toddler the fisher price controller. She liked playing it until she caught sight of my ds4, then it was ditched. Kids are no fools. Same as toy remotes, they know the proper ones you actually use and that's what they want.

Good idea to get a broken controller, maybe check ebay specifically for broken controllers to get one cheap, might be going that route myself someday.

That fisher price controller has a Konami code easter egg, if its the same one as I think it is.

Varik

I may have been right, new DS5 patent showing the additional buttons built into the controller. So the addon for the DS4 may have been forwards compatibility/usability with you existing controllers on PS5.

GameStop has the exclusive access to the PS4 back button at launch in the UK, is it likely to have it here as well? Havnt found an Irish site advertising it yet

Definitely a purchase for me, especially if it's going to be somewhat like the DS5. Still annoyed it's only 2 extra buttons. Like, do I map them to crouch/reload, or switch weapons/jump, or a combination of those!!! Having 4 extra buttons would have made so much more sense.

Still buying it though, albeit with a disgruntled happy face.

Varik

I play bumper jumper in destiny which has lead to some raid fails when I'd to ask which button to press to do whatever raid thing you'd to do and whatever it was wasn't the norm for me.

So while I'm glad they're adding more buttons that suit this, i wish they're weren't just a remap and you could do some simple macros.

Frantics is down to €9.99 at the moment and it has good reviews, but you use your phone instead of the controller and you have to download an app. Anyone else played it and can recommend?

Thanks

Anyone know if there’s a FFVII branded Pro console coming out?

There isn't one. Only place that sells them below face value is Press Start/Instant Gaming(same company).

Eneba also sell Irish PSN credit below face value. There's a fee for payment (lower fee if paying by CC/DC than paypal) but it still works out cheaper than face value and both cards are currently in stock. There's a discount code that works at the moment - AKS.

My top game’s were Red Dead, Fifa & Days Gone. For some reason when I click redeem nothing comes up on the screen.

Yeah I was getting an error too asking me to sign in even though I already was

Zero-Cool

Balls, I'm getting message "Not available in all locations, be over 18, etc. etc." I must not have data options enabled

DirtyBollox

Same thing here, oh well.

Varik

can see it but the reward bit not working.

dulpit

Not missing much, about half of it is ads...

Niska

My top three were:

Borderlands 3, Days Gone and Dragon Quest XI

Clicking the reward wouldn't do a thing.

copperspock

Yeah the rewards aren't working for me either. My most played game is Dead By Daylight, but apparently only half of it was online . I guess that's a lot of time waiting in the lobby!

Varik

1:Destiny 2
2:War Thunder
3:Red Dead Redemption 2

JimBurnley

Rewards not working for me either... interesting (and slightly creepy reading, big brother is watching etc.) 100+ hours on AC Odyssey and Days Gone, 50+ Spiderman. Apparently I play most Tues evenings, who knew?

Varik

My most played time was monday, surprised by that as I'm usually too tired on a monday.

Might be Destiny related as I might be trying to get the weekies done before Tuesday reset.

CastorTroy

Seems I've the options turned on on PS3 but not PS4. only game that showed up was Alice Madness Returns
