Sooooo I bought Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 Remastered for £4 each on PSN when I saw the sale they had on... I am "that guy" who has never played Uncharted before... but now I have finished the first one and am already on the second one, I really like them actually, the story of the first one was cool and the second one is shaping up to be interesting (just got to the part where you meet Elena and her camera dude Jeff (my name-a Jeeeeeeeeff)

Loving it so far!

Just quoting myself to follow up on this - these games were amazing, finished off with 4 which was incredible and a big step in cinematics and graphics too... love love loved them games.

New big fan, but... Now what!?!?

Haven't played unchartered myself but I have played the new Tomb Raider games and they are very very good and I believe they are a similar style if you're looking for more of the same

Can you not get Plex? Don't know whether it's different to the Xbox but Plex on the One has no issues with .mkv files even with subtitles. If not, VLC? Don't know what's available on PS4

Tried Plex and didn't like it

Not sure why I need to try anything else now as Serviio is great.

Gonna get the latest Tomb Raider, I played the first reboot in what, 2014 and I see theres now Rise of the Tomb raider which is the sequel to said reboot and so cheap on PSN so will get on that, thanks!

Also, anyone who played R6: Siege or H1Z1 let me know, I might get H1Z1 (already have Siege)

Rise of the Tomb Raider is great, but a lot of people have some justified complaints. My only one is that at certain points it attempts to create a kind of "hub", where you will have one main location with loads of areas connected to it. I know that doesn't necessarily sound like a bad thing, but combined with a stupendously cluttered map system it can sometimes be a bit annoying. Uncharted is a lot cleaner for that kind of presentation. That's about it though, I really enjoyed the game.

I'd check out Uncharted - The Lost Legacy too if you loved the other four. Don't be put off by the fact that Nathan Drake isn't in it, that didn't bother me in the slightest when playing. It's essentially a scaled down version of Uncharted 4. Stunning looking as you would expect.

I'm same as PhilV and have played the first TR. Need to play 'Rise' next.

I thought the map system on the first Tomb Raider reboot was a little cluttered too to be honest.

Anyone spotted any deals on the Pro? Looking to snap one up for Red dead.

£350 with a game is the best i've spotted so far.

Ok I will check out Lost Legacy too, Claudia Black is cool so I don't mind Nathan Drake not being in it.

I got Rise of the Tomb raider for like £12 I think with the 3 add ons that came out, it was the 20th anniversary version on PSN, I love discovering good games but late, they get so cheap, next one is deffo Middle-earth: Shadow of War - I enjoyed the first one but not enough to grab the second on release, it's now cheap too, woohoo, sales rule.

Enjoying the latest Tomb Raider - playing on Survivor difficulty and just in Siberia now, very cool so far.

Anyone else love the Onimusha series years back? Capcom are re-releasing the first one across the board in Jan:

Bit tight they’re not doing it as a bundle for all 3, but I reckon I’ll still get this I loved the originals.

Any news on the PS5 yet? I'm thinking of upgrading to a Pro because my PS4 is slowly dying on me but don't want to do that if the PS5 is only round the corner.

Can anyone give me advice on the audio output settings on the PS4?

I’ve got a soundbar connected to the TV via Optical cable. The tv audio settings are set to PCM. The audio output settings are Digitial Output instead of HDMI and then I’ve got DTS ticked and bitstream DTS. I’ve been googling it but nobody seems to know the definitive answer.

Should it be HDMI instead and set to PCM on the PS4 too?

HELP....

PS4 (not mine-mates son) got that 'won't start'.. Safe Mode-software update via usb thingy..

i fix PC's laptops etc but this is just outta my remit

i said i'd have a look at it... downloaded system update, put on usb drive (format fat32) in PS4 folder/update etc.. but will not install update (400mb)
want full system update (1gb) but that will wipe everything from PS4 i believe ?.. has loads of 'Fortnite' game stuff on PS4..
will it not just reinstall all 'Fortnite' stuff from PS Network account ?
anyway... you'll know more than me (i hope)

Any help or pointers would be great... Thanks Hixx..

If you have a spare hard drive, you could swap that in, do the updates, then see what happens if you try putting it back.
