Thats a freebie for playstation plus subscribers,on initial release last week it was causing the playstation 4s in some cases to overheat and make extremely annoying loud fan noises,game also took a day to download and typical Sony servers not up to scratch and hardly anybody at the time could connect.
It looks fun for about 10 minutes and then i would delete it.

is it still on the psn+ now? I will be really annoyed if I missed it.

well seems my controller cannot talk to the ps4, I can only turn it on via the ps4 sensor button and it doesnt react to the controller, even if connected with usb cable.
So more info.
It works in safe mode.
The ps button will power up the ps4.
Nothing else works.

and people say pc's are problematic 
I think I need to return it here is what I tried.
reinitialize from safe mode so I lost all settings etc. Was able to go through the setup wizard but as soon as the dash appeared bam nothing working.
I then used the pin trick to reset the controller and am now at the prompt to press the psn button to use the controller, but nothing happens. Looks like a bluetooth component failure.

Yes its new last week.  .
|
|
|
I will activate it on my ps3 since I cant use the ps4.
any ideas on fixing the controller issue or do you think I am right in my diagnosis?
its not on psn+ was only there for one week?
its not even on psn to buy, you sure you thinking of the right game?
called "rocket league"

You lost me.
A playstation 3 can not download content thats primary for a playstation 4,you have a playstation 4 don't you but you saying you have a controller issue.
Don't tell me you only have 1 dual Shock 4 .

on the psn+ page on the psn store.
on the ps3 can still activate free vita and ps4 games, I have done it with loads of games. saves time having to use all 3 devices.
you see styx on the monthly games? that is ps4 only.

I see Drive Club [Playstation plus edition] Styx and Rocket league which is around 1.6g and is downloading along with another file which is slightly larger which is the update.
So all in all 3gig or just over.
|
|
|
Just done it on the web page, thanks for letting me know its there. https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-gb/monthly-games...
I dont know why it isnt showing on my ps3, styx is showing and thats a ps4 only game.
I guess I need to return my ps4 .
I also guess its easier/quicker to return to the retailer than sony.

sorry if confused you, by activate I just meant unlocking the game, not downloading it. As once unlocked I can download any time.
|
|
|
|
But i don't understand what you mean by unlocking,there is no unlocking,they are just games on the store that you download providing you have the Playstation plus subscription .
Where did you buy your playstation 4 from and what exactly is wrong with it.have you tried the method that works when my Sky Hd plays up,unplugging the device for a few minutes directly at the plug.
Sounds daft i know but works quite a lot with Routers,Sky Hd and a lot of other devices.
|
|
|
when you select download it first activates the game before downloading, that is the unlocking, so I select download, and then abort the download.
On ps4 games it just activates as the ps3 obviously cannot play ps4 games.
my ps4 I got from a catalogue brand new, its still in warranty so thats not an issue.
what is wrong with it is that the controller doesnt work on the dashboard, I cannot do anything, it only works in safe mode and the setup mode. I cannot even pair it as when it says press the psn button to pair it then nothing happens.
Also i already tried cutting of the ps4 at the plug.

Oh you mean the very start then it downloads.
Sounds like you need to return it.......
Re: PS4 controller only works in safe mode
OPTIONS
Nov 17, 2014
It may be a problem with the Bluetooth radio or chip set in the PS4. I think that in Safe Mode the DS4 is operating as a USB controller, but in normal System mode the DS4 operates wirelessly even when it is connected by USB cable. The USB connection is only used for pairing. If your Bluetooth networking isn't working, then you can't pair the controllers; but it can still work in Safe Mode. If it is a PS4 hardware problem, and if you have Restore the PS4 System then we can assume that it is, then the console has to be sent in for repair.
|
|
|
yeah thats what I thought.
I would rather have the catalogue send me another new one then have sony repair it tho.
Shame I dont have any spare controller to test. As there is a chance the controller is faulty not the console.
|
|
|
Matey you always need at least 2 controllers,i have 3 Playstation 4 controllers .
Doubt its the controller if your not seeing rocket league on the playstation store .

You tried plugging the cable into it I assume?
|
|
|
|
I only have one ps4 controller. Why would I want two?
|
|
|
Obviously 
you see where I said about the usb cable?
As timey said it seems once the dash is loaded, its bluetooth only, no usb connectivity, the usb cable is only used for charging.
|
|
|
well catalogue said they got arrangement with sony so they gave me sony's number.
After over an hour on hold they want me to send in the controller first and if that tests ok then the console afterwards, they wont even send someone to my door to pick it up I have to take it to a post office, what a hassle.
Will see if i can test the controller on someone's ps4 tonight. So then I know which to send off before sending, they said cannot send the controller and console together as they different departments.
|
|
|
looks like its the console, I have paired it with the ps3 and works fine on the ps3.

is this a joke?
someone test this page please which sony told me to use.
is broken here.

Working for me.
|
|
|
thats weird then O_o
But anyway just came of a long call.
Rang the retailer, pointed out to them since I have this on a buy now pay later, I obviously wont pay for something that doesnt work, then I got put through to sony again, I did a reset to default settings on the ps4 and now it works, but bear in mind I already did a reset and it didnt work.
So this is all a bit bizarre but at least it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue.
oh and yeah the website works for me now as well.

rocket league, ff15 etc. all downloading again, also stuck the bloodbourne theme on there.
|
|
|
All good news then
|
|
|
wow this game is addictive.
I sprinted all the way down with boost from one end to the other and saved, epic save pops up, then my save managed to also score and got a long shot
brilliant game, this is the type of game needed more on consoles. reminds me of the type of games we sure in the 90s.
|
|
|
Have to check it out later this evening if i can,would rather watch paint dry if I'm honest .
|
|
|
Its just a football game with cars,how can that be so exciting is anyones Guess
|
|
|
|
Works here
|
|
|
Pity you don't
|
|
|
Actually your right matey it is quite a lot of fun but for how long is the big question ?
Had a few games this evening and its very enjoyable. and its free so that makes it so much sweeter
|
|
|
Actually on reflection its a way better game than i ever thought it would be,not sure how long it will hold my attention but the 30 minutes i had with it led me to believe i would certainly give this more time and effort.
Whats your PSN user name Chrysalis
|
|
|
messaged you, I am not very good at this game usually am bottom of list in points. But I sitll love it.
|
|
|
is rhere a way to ensure we on the same match?
|
|
|

Besides the servers were down for about 3 hours yesterday so i played with Bots and i scored 10 goals straight from kick of one after the other
|
|
|

|
|
|
