Another fun fact if you have a friend who has digitally downloaded games you can transfer their account to your ps4 and download all their games. Something I am honestly baffled by seeing as how Sony is usually really strict about sharing games and products
@@jacobross735 well see you didn't explain it correctly though... It's not just as simple as 'download games and play' whatsoever... You have to download the profile, activate your ps4 as the accounts primary ps4, then download the games, and any account on your ps4 can play that content, BUT, whoever the account belongs to can ONLY play the content on THEIR account on their system, no others, and that's also only while it's connected to the internet, otherwise it can't verify that you still have the license for the games since that ps4 isn't the primary.
This is why I only buy physical disk games anymore. If something happens at the end of the day I can still sell that disk and recoup some money. Or I can share a game with a friend.
You can share a lot of digital games too. This requires total trust between users but if you set their ps4 as your "primary" system and they set yours as their "primary" 95% of what you download in store can be added to both systems. So I buy a game digitally and my brother can then log in on his system as me download it then go back to his profile and he owns the game as well. Down side is if my internet cuts out I lose access to my digital games and in some bundle situations dlc won't be included with the "free" game. Plus side is I buy a game or dlc and almost every time he gets a free copy. We can also play the same game together co-op or competitively.
@@Psykoskull1 you can do the same on XBox, which is where I believe that originated. It's the same setup as PS pretty much, just go to settings, personalization, my home console and there you go

THANK YOU! I had no idea you could change the color range in the settings. I have a color-accurate display for my freelance work and when I switch the color range it blew my mind. Ni No Kuni looks even more incredible than it already did. Thank you so much! :D
Thank you for your information this video was very helpful especially for us seniors that are not as Savvy as certain people are with the PlayStation 4. Keep on gaming!
Here's a tip. If you want to share a game with a friend, you can set their ps4 as your home system and your ps4 as their home system. When you buy a new game, they can log in as you, download it, log in as themselves, and they can then play the game for free. My wife and I do this for all our multi-player games. Saves us from having to buying the game twice.
Maurice Weathington no I’m saying I brought the disc then I put it on my PS4 it starts downloading and it finish then I can do the same thing in another PS4?
You help me a lot with the image quality i was saw in my 2K monitor and in my 1080P tv. Really i was seeing big difference in quakity every time i change my ps4 from TV to my 2K monitor. Also i didn't knew about png vs jpeg differences, again you help me a lot. And other things i didn't knew and i learned them here. So you did greate job.
3:24 HDMI device link , think this also allows you to control the ps4 with your tv remote! Obviously not play games but for using apps like CZcams and Netflix without draining your pad battery is a huge bonus 🙌🙌
Thank you for making this! You just helped me solve why it was always so dark when I played something like minecraft. I haven’t been able to figure it out for YEARS. Again, thank you soooo much
Also you should link your PSN account to Sony rewards, you get points for earning trophies! I got a total of 11 platinums and I had completely forgotten about it until I saw hollow knight was on PS4 and it was on sale for $7.50! So I went to Sony rewards and claimed a $10 gift card and I got hollow knight pretty much for free! Incase your not to sure on how the point system works I believe it’s 10 platinum trophies = 1000 points 25 good trophies = 250 points 100 silver trophies = 100 points A $10 gift card is 1000 points.
its vidu I forget, I set it up a while again when they first announced it. I believe it ask you if you have a PSN account when you first make an account or just use the same email as your PS email and they link automatically I believe. And I should add it’s U.S. only FYI.
1:59 hey I have that same TV in my room, love it. If you adjust the TV's video settings just right for a game console , oh my gosh, the quality is amazing, much better than a flat screen TV with the same red, yellow, white cords connected. I just plug my Wii in it and play Gamecube games
The HDMI device link is honestly just a fancy name for HDMI CEC. It can called something different on each device. The Nintendo Switch supports as well, and it not only allows the TV and game console to turn on at the same time, but it also will cause the TV to automatically change the input to said game console when it's turned on.
Hhmmm do I want to use the Sonicare toothbrush earpiece or the Castro a50.... So many choices. Lol good vid btw mate. I always look to you guys before I get a game. Keep it up and much love.
Thank you for the rgb tip I moved my ps on to my monitor about 10 months ago and it looked really dull but I put rgb on full and it looks so much better
Gunshy yeah. I was like mhm digital copy’s would save me so much space and money but then I realize if I get ban I won’t be able to play the game that I downloaded digital or I can lose those games forever etc. With disc that will never happen so yeah
Thats true. When your account gets perma ban. ALL of the digital games you owned will be revoked on the account and you will never play it on the ps4 same goes to xbox to some players as well. Digital sucks when it comes to that but the only benefit of having it is getting the games through sale only.
I just hope the Ps5 has full backwards compatibility for it's entire library... as honestly when the physical game's go by by for digital copies of everything only, my days of buying the latest systems will have come to and end and I will just build up my library of physical games for the last system to have them. A variety of launch colors even if just 3 or 4 would be fun too......
it's not going to be. because 1) the Emotion Engine in the PS3 had poor emulation and could not run every single game properly, including PS1 titles. and 2) they would have to make it available on both disc and digital, and licensing issues could prevent many old titles from being supportive.
Sony has been working on a new patent for BC to run every generation. Even if the PS5 isn't full BC then it will obviously will be for PS4 at least which is obviously more than fine.
Need to add that PSN Store content isn't Region Free. So if you try to buy DLC for a game you got from EU, make sure you go to the PlayStation EU Store. Importers probably know this, though.
I was due to renew my psplus last year so I did so with my taxes. Not 4 days later they had a sale for 3 extra months when you purchase a year. Figured I’d contact customer support to see if they’d do anything. Pleasantly surprised that they sent me a code for the 3 months. Love it!
I'll literally never understand the kind of person who buys a PS4, a new phone, or a new piece of technology of any kind, and doesn't turn it on and immediately spend the _5 lousy minutes_ it takes to go into 'Settings' and look through everything the device is capable of, first thing. What are you, some kind of NPC? You bought the thing. Learn how to use it! How is this something you're not excited to do with your new device?
You can also use your tv remote to turn on your PS4 (and PS3 Slim) it used to be called HDMI-CEC It’s also useful for watching movies and stuff like that
I had been wondering why the colors looked washed out when playing my ps4 on a home theater projector. Dynamic range tip number 1 fixed it.. Thank you for that.
You missed game sharing. The primary account on the PlayStation will share all their games as well as PlayStation plus online play benefits with the other users on the same system
I know I can switch it to .png but if you share the picture with yourself through a message where you're the only recipient, it'll be downloaded as a .jpg through the mobile app. I think the only way to get it as it is on your PS4 is to save it directly to a USB or to your phone if possible. IDK if sharing it to Facebook or Twitter preserves the format.
When you switch your tv to game mode after like 5 years... my god.. not to mention my tv was set to zoom so I could never have the safe zone correct. Thank you falcon your a real hero
A story I have have about Sony's customer service is that every xmas I ask my brother and sister to bunce together for a years psplus subscription. We aren't the best shoppers and struggle to come up with gift ideas for each other. Anyway I got the code but forgot to claim it before my subscription auto renewed and was suddenly down 50 quid that I kinda needed for the long month that is January. I emailed their customer service explaining the situation and got a generic email back saying that they were basically busy atm but would reply when they could. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I got an email saying that the would refund the full amount. 2 days later it was in my account and I had activated the code. I know I'm probably late to the party here and that they probably do this quite often with the auto renew function. But I still thought that it was pretty damn good of them considering they could have told me where to go and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

@@princegroove real original, go back to GayStation
@@mombayd3988 That's what I need to find out
8:58 I paused and went through my box and got the code - and it was expired. 9:21 THANK YOU GAMERANX!!!
Nachi Kahn where in the box is it located? I can’t find mine
Where's the code located on the box
Kuroi Kitsune I found it! It’s in the foldable piece that says “The Best Place to Play” and tells you about PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now, Spotify, PlayStation Vue and the store. It’ll be on the store page
Thank you
TomK7 Now that’s just racist
THANK YOU! I had no idea you could change the color range in the settings. I have a color-accurate display for my freelance work and when I switch the color range it blew my mind. Ni No Kuni looks even more incredible than it already did. Thank you so much! :D
Thank you for your information this video was very helpful especially for us seniors that are not as Savvy as certain people are with the PlayStation 4. Keep on gaming!
Here's a tip. If you want to share a game with a friend, you can set their ps4 as your home system and your ps4 as their home system. When you buy a new game, they can log in as you, download it, log in as themselves, and they can then play the game for free. My wife and I do this for all our multi-player games. Saves us from having to buying the game twice.
Nicholas Montgomery yeah but couldn’t you just get the disc your friend owns and put it in his ps4 and download the game from their?
@@pleasekillmeiwishtodie2114 Lol no. Your ps4 isn't downloading the game from the disk
yea its called game sharing that's why I went digital years ago lol on my pro and one x
Maurice Weathington no I’m saying I brought the disc then I put it on my PS4 it starts downloading and it finish then I can do the same thing in another PS4?
@@pleasekillmeiwishtodie2114 wtf is this the first game you've ever bought?
Its not machine washable.
TheCoranub wait, *WAT!!*
Shit that’s why mine stopped working.
Ugh, thanks Obama.
TheCoranub oh shit I didn’t know, ill put it in the dryer
Unless you buy water proof one.
You help me a lot with the image quality i was saw in my 2K monitor and in my 1080P tv. Really i was seeing big difference in quakity every time i change my ps4 from TV to my 2K monitor. Also i didn't knew about png vs jpeg differences, again you help me a lot. And other things i didn't knew and i learned them here. So you did greate job.

Two Fortnite Ads in one video... is Apex really hurting Fortnite that bad?
MUhahahha
*blessing the AdBlock*
No it's called advertising

Liked for the cat licking the screen when he said people, preferences, TASTES
my ps tutorial showed me the gyro input method. so technically sony told me so your list is one short. Kappa
3:24 HDMI device link , think this also allows you to control the ps4 with your tv remote! Obviously not play games but for using apps like CZcams and Netflix without draining your pad battery is a huge bonus 🙌🙌
I can control the ps4 with my tv remote but I can't open the tv with my ps4 remote . Do I missed something here ? 🤔
Thank you for making this! You just helped me solve why it was always so dark when I played something like minecraft. I haven’t been able to figure it out for YEARS. Again, thank you soooo much
The screenshot thing is really nice to know. Just another great vid
Finally! A way to turn off those annoying "recording blocked for this scene" notifications on all my cutscenes!
Also you should link your PSN account to Sony rewards, you get points for earning trophies! I got a total of 11 platinums and I had completely forgotten about it until I saw hollow knight was on PS4 and it was on sale for $7.50!
So I went to Sony rewards and claimed a $10 gift card and I got hollow knight pretty much for free! Incase your not to sure on how the point system works I believe it’s
10 platinum trophies = 1000 points
25 good trophies = 250 points
100 silver trophies = 100 points
A $10 gift card is 1000 points.
How'd you link it?
its vidu I forget, I set it up a while again when they first announced it. I believe it ask you if you have a PSN account when you first make an account or just use the same email as your PS email and they link automatically I believe. And I should add it’s U.S. only FYI.
It's united States only....
not only that but i think they discontinued the sony rewards recently for trophies a while back.
@HUY crap here I was actual kind of excited. Give me a reason to care about trophies now can go back to ignoring them.
In short, if you buy a $60 game and you use a 20% coupon/code, you will only pay $48.00.
Still gotta pay for online ;)
That notification setting is a life-saver when I just want to watch YT on my TV, especially being in a group chat of 98 people
The guy in the thumbnail looks like he dying to go on his PS4’s he got for Valentine’s Day
I like how Andrew is still the new guy
5:46, I swear he's playng Horizon: Zero Dawn... Amazing game
Yashveer Wassan yea
1:59 hey I have that same TV in my room, love it. If you adjust the TV's video settings just right for a game console , oh my gosh, the quality is amazing, much better than a flat screen TV with the same red, yellow, white cords connected. I just plug my Wii in it and play Gamecube games
Omg thank you! I have been wondering how to fix the weird washed out colours on my monitor! Changed it to full colour and everything is nice.
Had my ps4 on and the notifications got me
Wow, I've been a PS4 owner since day 1 and learned a few things.
The HDMI device link is honestly just a fancy name for HDMI CEC. It can called something different on each device. The Nintendo Switch supports as well, and it not only allows the TV and game console to turn on at the same time, but it also will cause the TV to automatically change the input to said game console when it's turned on.
Most helpful video ever. I just started using Gran Torismo Sport Scapes. The improved screenshots is nice.
jesus christ i dont even own a ps4 and i stayed to the end
Same
What do you own? A potato

That 20% off code tip was actually rather useful. I didn't know about it til now lol
Where do you find the code
Hunter M aired
Hhmmm do I want to use the Sonicare toothbrush earpiece or the Castro a50.... So many choices. Lol good vid btw mate. I always look to you guys before I get a game. Keep it up and much love.
Thank you for the rgb tip I moved my ps on to my monitor about 10 months ago and it looked really dull but I put rgb on full and it looks so much better
One time two PS4's bumped into each other so one said *"oh I'm SONY"*
Wow! S fucking funny 😐
@@harmonyjohnson2051 dude it's an annoying pun what do you expect
Well you just give me a reason to continue buying physical copies that and I like physical copies
Gunshy yeah. I was like mhm digital copy’s would save me so much space and money but then I realize if I get ban I won’t be able to play the game that I downloaded digital or I can lose those games forever etc. With disc that will never happen so yeah
At least there is a tangible value of physical copies
Physical copys you OWN IT digital you RENT IT
Thats true. When your account gets perma ban. ALL of the digital games you owned will be revoked on the account and you will never play it on the ps4 same goes to xbox to some players as well. Digital sucks when it comes to that but the only benefit of having it is getting the games through sale only.
THEEEEEN DON'T GET BANNED
as apc power has come in handy for some its most useful for ps4 as it is less prone to powercuts or lightning issues
Gameranx XD The voice presented on this video sounds like the guy in those recording collectables from Dead island. It's sweet!
I just hope the Ps5 has full backwards compatibility for it's entire library... as honestly when the physical game's go by by for digital copies of everything only, my days of buying the latest systems will have come to and end and I will just build up my library of physical games for the last system to have them. A variety of launch colors even if just 3 or 4 would be fun too......
it's not going to be. because 1) the Emotion Engine in the PS3 had poor emulation and could not run every single game properly, including PS1 titles. and 2) they would have to make it available on both disc and digital, and licensing issues could prevent many old titles from being supportive.
Full backwards compatibility?
Based on a technical and financial standpoint, this is...
Not.
Going.
To.
Happen.
If that would happen i would buy ps5 for sure.
Sony has been working on a new patent for BC to run every generation. Even if the PS5 isn't full BC then it will obviously will be for PS4 at least which is obviously more than fine.
Shadow4192008 the patent is for something else
Need to add that PSN Store content isn't Region Free. So if you try to buy DLC for a game you got from EU, make sure you go to the PlayStation EU Store. Importers probably know this, though.
I was due to renew my psplus last year so I did so with my taxes. Not 4 days later they had a sale for 3 extra months when you purchase a year. Figured I’d contact customer support to see if they’d do anything. Pleasantly surprised that they sent me a code for the 3 months. Love it!
4:45 I used gyro all the time, it's suprisingly smooth and fast when you get used to it
I wish they'd fix shareplay. After a certain update I've been able to join others but no one can join me
Bad internet?
I'll literally never understand the kind of person who buys a PS4, a new phone, or a new piece of technology of any kind, and doesn't turn it on and immediately spend the _5 lousy minutes_ it takes to go into 'Settings' and look through everything the device is capable of, first thing.
What are you, some kind of NPC? You bought the thing. Learn how to use it!
How is this something you're not excited to do with your new device?
NPC 😂😂😂😂😂
Updates..
U right bro , my fathers friend buyed a new tractor and he doesnt use it , man this is machine , is for work !
I love the loads of enthusiasm on these subjects we other wise wouldn't know until we were at least 6 or 7.
You can connect a usb keyboard/mouse to ps4 too. Is useful. (don't get ones with drivers, get raw input, lowlevel connection types)
I use a monitor , I changed it to full and omg .
I had it on full but changed it back for some reason and it looked so washed out lol, gonna go back to full.
Me too lmao, had a ps4 and a monitor since launch
Dude i literally did the same thing, now the games will look so much better :3
Austin P haha
thuxu same dude lmao
Why would you do that with the sounds, I thought my hearing went out for a second 🙃
You can also use your tv remote to turn on your PS4 (and PS3 Slim) it used to be called HDMI-CEC
It’s also useful for watching movies and stuff like that
I had been wondering why the colors looked washed out when playing my ps4 on a home theater projector. Dynamic range tip number 1 fixed it.. Thank you for that.
I have been enlightened MASTER.
But wait a second doesn't clearing history will remove gameranx videos from my recommendations?
When you play offline you have to deal with a lot of error s lots of it
With HDMI device link you can use your TV remote to navigate through the menus and change music or choose movies, not on every TV but most of them.
Most HDTV's going back 15 years support full range rgb in my experience. Only prob these days is all the budget 4k sets using 4:2:2 subsampling.
You’re a few years late.
You missed game sharing. The primary account on the PlayStation will share all their games as well as PlayStation plus online play benefits with the other users on the same system
Sony does tell you the gyro texting because the first time you use anything to deal with typing it shows you three different ways to do it.
I know I can switch it to .png but if you share the picture with yourself through a message where you're the only recipient, it'll be downloaded as a .jpg through the mobile app.
I think the only way to get it as it is on your PS4 is to save it directly to a USB or to your phone if possible. IDK if sharing it to Facebook or Twitter preserves the format.
I had a PS4 but I switched to Xbox, it was the worst decision I have ever made
Should’ve switched to PC, rookie play.
Why
**cue J. Jonah Jameson laugh**
I had a PS4 but I switched to PC, it was the best dicision I have ever made.
Share play is really laggy, both parties need high speed internet connection
I have a 300Mbps connection and it still lags. It's the PSN servers. Also, the resolution is only 720p in Shareplay. Shareplay is essentially useless.
For me it's perfect
@@ArminVanLiberty you're probably useless... I've played a game on my friends ps4 3000 km away and it was basically perfect. 100Mb
@@ArminVanLiberty the only thing that could be better is in fact the resolution. But 720p isn't thaaat bad

With HDMI device link you can also control your ps4 with your tv remote. works on my samsung smart tv
I can think of one...
Sony didn’t tell us that they were removing Linux from the PS3.
It cost them though lol

The screen shot thing was awesome to learn about I always wished for better ones
They secretly really homie‘s with Microsoft... no okay
My Star Wars BF 2 bundle Ps4 Pro did not include a code :(
Great video. These things will come in handy even on the PS3.
A story I have have about Sony's customer service is that every xmas I ask my brother and sister to bunce together for a years psplus subscription. We aren't the best shoppers and struggle to come up with gift ideas for each other. Anyway I got the code but forgot to claim it before my subscription auto renewed and was suddenly down 50 quid that I kinda needed for the long month that is January. I emailed their customer service explaining the situation and got a generic email back saying that they were basically busy atm but would reply when they could. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I got an email saying that the would refund the full amount. 2 days later it was in my account and I had activated the code.
I know I'm probably late to the party here and that they probably do this quite often with the auto renew function. But I still thought that it was pretty damn good of them considering they could have told me where to go and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
