The button can also be double pressed to set a start point for video recording. Trophies are little rewards doled out to players in every game for specific achievements and were carried over from the PlayStation 3. Now, players can see what percentage of other players have earned a given trophy for each game. The lower the percentage, the rarer the trophy. Simply hit R3 and use the on-screen cursor to make typing less of a headache. The app allows users to access their PS4 from wherever they are and can perform functions like sending messages, purchasing content through the PlayStation Store, and even turning mobile devices into a 2nd screen for the PS4.
Share Factory is a free editing app on PlayStation Store that allows users to spruce up their recorded game videos. Options include being able to add commentary, soundtracks, and a variety of effects. Going 1 step further, users who want to get into streaming in a big way can add intros and outros to each video.
By double-tapping the button, you can instantly switch between the two most recently used applications, saving time in the process.
The quick swap falls into the category of a barely mentioned function that nonetheless improves the user experience. The great things about this app is that it not only organizes all of your games in an easily-accessible format, but also shows any games you may have purchased, but not downloaded yet.
Here are some of the ways you can take the PS4 to the next level. The big releases on the gaming calendar all have something in common. They just seem to be getting bigger and bigger! Most USB 3. To be sure, check out or complete guide on how to use an external hard drive for your PS4 here.
You just need to get your hands on a 2. But all you have to do is select the hidden trophy and hit [Square] to find out how to get it. You can also use the PS Second Screen app to remotely control your PS4, use it to enter text, and as a second screen for UI elements in supported games. Family Management can also be accessed via the PS App for on-the-go parenting.
Sometimes gaming with a decent pair of headphones or a headset is really the more immersive way to go. Most options will have a 3. One of the features most missed on launch was the ability to stream and playback video and music files over a home network - after all, it was something the PlayStation 3 was able to do for many years beforehand.
It seemed strange that it wasn't possible to begin with. However, from June an update added the ability to stream content on the PS4 through a new application simply called Media Player. And what's more, it is far better than the PS3 was capable of. Sony's new Media Player app is capable of streaming a vast collection of file types stored on a home server, Mac or PC, all over the home network wired or wirelessly.
Even MPEG-2 video can be played. Files can be presented through lists or in the more common PS4 tile format, and if they are of video or picture origin, you also get a thumbnail for each. If you want a more in-depth and content rich media streaming experience, you might want to check out the PS4 version of the Plex application.
Plex is essentially a media server service with dedicated server software stored on a Mac, PC or NAS drive which not only handles conversion of file types a device can't play naturally, but sorts all videos into categories with cover art and rich metadata automatically applied.
This essentially turns your home media collection into Netflix - of sorts. The Plex player app for PS4 isn't as advanced as on some devices yet - it's fairly early days in its development at present. But it still gives access to the movie collection with all the art and details at your fingertips. We also love the "Watch Later" feature where you can tag online content on video sites, such as YouTube, using a browser and then watch them through Plex on a big TV. It's a genius move as not can you use a Spotify Premium or free account on a PS4 to playback any of the millions of tracks available, you can also play them in the background of most games.
That means Sky TV subscribers can access the channels and catch-up content they pay for as part of their TV package, but in a separate room and streamed over the internet without needing to invest in Sky's own second room set-up. Even the sports and movie channels are available through the app, if you subscribe to them through Sky already. We will say though, if you don't subscribe to Sky, a standalone Sky Go subscription is a pricey way of getting the channels.
You'll be better off taking a no-contract Now TV subscription instead.
