Two PS4 one progress?

I have two consoles (one old and one pro) and know I can play GTA Online fine on both consoles. I also have RDR2 installed on both. When I tried to load up RDR2 (story obviously) on the old one it did not load my progress (from playing on the pro). Are the save files stored local on the ps4? Any way to load a saved game on another console? PSN id is the same.

What he said in the first 20-50 seconds is so important, as it begs to question what do you put your values in mostly when it comes to a monitor or TV when gaming or which do you prefer. Between a higher resolution displays like a 4K down to a low 1080p resolution display, it's the Refresh Rate of the monitor or TV that determines the speed at which objects move on screen. Higher is better when it comes to Refresh Rate (60 hertz, 120 hertz, 144 Hertz & 240 hertz) in conjunction with the display's 'Response Time' being 1ms (millisecond) at best. Note A PS4 console is capped at 60Hz, though most games run at 30Hz (For Parity Sake Sony)unless your playing a Ba…

USB 3.0 HUB to PS4

So this is my USB 3.0 hub to PS4. It has 4 USB 3.0 ports, each port uses up to 900 mA/ 0.9 Amps at 5 volts output, by default right out the box. If powered by a wall adapter make sure the adapter doesn't have fast charging as that might push the voltage up to 9 volts which might fry all your devices I take no responsibility for that, do that at your own volition. I do not have a disposable non fast charge device to do that test on. The cable sizing to use with your cell/ tablet adapter or your choice will be 'USB to 3.0mm 1.1mm Barrel Jack,' any other size will be incorrect & will not work. I tested it with a 5 volts 2 Amps Samsung tablet adapter, which resulted …

My wifi in the master bedroom has never been stellar and for the last two weeks it's been "doo doo pee pee caca"! One of the techs made some changes, but evidently they didn't stick. Tiring of the BS and wanting to expand wifi into my shop, I picked of an Netgear Orbi RBK30 Tri-Band WiFi System. https://www.netgear.com/about/press-releases/2017/ORBI-TRI-BAND-WIFI-SYSTEMS.aspx It's a super easy set up, used the app on my phone, and best of all, it solved my connection problems and I have a very strong signal in my METAL shop. Connection rates in the bedroom are the same as being wired on my laptop, phone and PS4. Connection rate in the shop are only slightly…

Hello all. I was wondering what phone do you have ? My current phone is an Alcatel One Touch. Problem, my phone is slowly dying after 2 1/2 years of service. Now it shuts down on its own and I have to wait between 30 mins and 1 hour before I can turn it back on. To make things even worse, I can't play Pokemon Go anymore, not enough RAM I have a 200€ budget (£167, $225) for the new one but I can't decide which one to buy. One of my coworkers recommended a Huawei. anybody have any experience with these ? I'm scared because it's chinese I had a Samsung Galaxy 2 before and it was great. What would you guys recommend ?

Playstation VR 1 2 3

So I was watching the news this afternoon and seen a segment on Sony's 2016 release of the Playstation VR. According to Sony, there are over 200 developers working on Virtual Reality titles to be released in 2016. Titles include Gran Turismo, Star Wars: Battlefront, and obviously many more great titles. Theres also a game being released based on a movie (I dont know the name) about a tight-rope walker. Scenes of everyday people trying this game show them screaming when they fall until somebody grabs them so they can feel REALITY. This looks like a huge step in the right direction for gaming, and in my personal opinion, looks f***ing amazing.

My issues started after the GTA V December update, I am always connected to Ethernet since the days of PS3, with multiple new Ethernet cables & a fiber optic one, I have no connectivity problems with any other game. Well the problem could range from a few things IMO: 1) PS4 Hard Drive/ Disc Drive lens 2) Modem/ router compatibility & features issue Mines being a Huawei HG8245Q 3) Internet Service Provider 4) R* Lets start with the hard drive. When launching GTAV, wait until a black screen appears after the initial splash art has disappeared, and hold down L1+R1 throughout the opening scenes, this will reset your GTA V Pr…

So I am to replace a broken transformator with a new one. The electrician who figured out that was the case left two wires hanging, or not? So I have two wires I dont know what to do with. And since the electician havent sent me a bill yet I rather not call him back to remind him of my existence. So, anyone with the ability to tell me what to do with the two wires shown next to my finger? The broken transformator is the one in place, but they are the same.

So I want to know if there are any changes or features that you would like to see on your current console. The reason I'm writing this is because over the summer 2017 I had an issue with the device menu, where a 3.5mm mic would automatically be recognized as a headset when automatic is unticked, I knew it Was a software issue. I wrote to Playstation blog using my gamertag and I got a message directly on my PS4 a month after congratulating me on my contribution, I assumed they might fix it, and they did in the next update that came out a month after that, issue resolved. I also wrote them a couple days ago to resolve another issue and all of a sudden in this upda…

UK Broadband - any advice?
by djw180- 2 followers
- 4 replies

It's looking like I will be moving house in next few months, staying in the same city, just moving to place with a bigger garden (keeping the wife happy). My current ISP is Virgin Media and their broadband is great. Unfortunately they do not cover some of the areas of Sheffield we are looking at houses in so I may have to change ISPs. Therefore I wanted to get opinions from other UK-gamers about good broadband providers / packages, ones to avoid etc. If we switch Sky is probably the one I would go for at the moment, in order to get the TV, phone & internet all in one bundle. So anyone else use Sky broadband? Which of their packages would you recommend for ga…

Here is a quick fix so that your external Hard drive is not recognized as a USB 2.0 https://community.playstation.com/content/pdc/us/en_US/pdc-communities/support/Consoles-Peripherals.topic.html/i_am_experiencinger-Mz63.html The benefits of a external USB 3.0 hard drive to the PS4 you can: More install games from the internal hard drive to the external hard drive instead of 3 downloading or vice versa. "For eg. It moved GTA V game in 15 minutes to the external hard drive." You could carry the external hard drive to a friend's house and play the games on it via entering your log in information into their PlayStation. If all your games are on the extern…

I finally got the metal alloy thumb sticks, triggers & shoulder buttons. The thumb sticks rotate a bit more smoothly, but I had to squeeze the bottom part with a pliers so it has a tight fit, to make sure the L3 and R3 work properly on every press. I recommend purchasing a button cap for it as well The other buttons work's fine & now I don't have to worry about them breaking off in the future.

Projectors and gaming.

I've been thinking about having a projector for use with gaming for a long time but I've always been put off by the large price tag of them plus the cost of replacement bulbs. In my new place I have a nice large white wall in my living room and would be ideal for projector use. I've seen one on offer today but only offers a resolution of 800x600, this immediately set off alarm bells. Would it be worth the £180 price tag?

I have to say the Ryzen 7 1800x is a better processor for a gaming enthusiast versus any of these Thread Ripper processors. The Thread Ripper is mainly for Content creators and heavy multitasking usage with all the available threads and cores it will be able to tap into and utilize, versus any of the other (AMD Processors) by a long shot. The Ryzen 1800x would be better as it can use the base frequency of 3.7Ghz - 4.1Ghz per core at 2 theads per core, it has a total of 8 cores and 16 threads and will also supports 4K & VR. Now this processor supports 2667 Mhz front side bus at Max, so I would purchase 2 (Dual Channel memory each at 8GB DDR4 clocked at 2667 Mhz …

215Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Subservience (2024) dir S.K. Dale Yet another mediocre sci-fi / thriller about AI and human-like robots. Michele Morrone plays Nick, a happily married father of 2 young children, struggling to raise them and do his construction site job since his wife (Madeline Zima) is seriously ill in hospital waiting for a heart transplant. So he buys Alice (Megan Fox), an almost completely life-like home-help / childcare / cook / cleaner robot. There are other similar robots working in many places such as hospitals, bars and construction sites (adding an additional plot element). Without spoilers (although IMHO there really isn't much to spoil) it's hard to say much more. But “stuff happens”, somewhat predictably if you consider the situation of wife in hospital, very hot nanny / maid robot at home etc etc. What is interesting is Alice starts to deviate from what she has been programmed to do, there's tensions with respect to a former colleague of Nick's, and these both lead to a reasonable action style tense ending with fights, shoot-outs and car chases. But overall it can only be described as OK. If you want action then watch an action film with more action than this. If you want drama then watch a drama film with more a more meaningful plot and better acting than this. There's some holes in the plot for me. Other than the robots it looks like present day. There is no other indication that this has to be either somewhat in the future or set in an alternative higher-tech reality. Nick's wife needs a new heart; if they have the technology to make such like-like robots (i.e. one that looks exactly like Megan Fox) then surely they would have mastered artificial organs for humans. Some of the other robots are too lifelike. I can understand Alice's appearance since she is designed to live in a home, although you might want to make such robots a bit less physically tempting a straight male owner. But there's no reason an entire synthetic construction site crew need to actually look like the humans' they replaced. And also no reason for them not be working constantly (the scene we encountered these is when they have been locked away for the night). There's one truly ridiculous aspect for me, for which I have knocked off another point for stupid prudishness. It has couple of mild s*x scenes. In one you can clearly see the actors are naked but without any full-frontal nudity. At one point the woman's breasts are briefly shown, but she has no n*pples! They must have been digitally removed. Why!? It's got enough to make it a 15 certificate, showing a couple of n*pples is surely not going to change that! There is one interesting plot element, but I have to put that with a spoiler warning. 4 / 10- 2
