The Week on SHARE - 09-05-2014

This weeks round-up of our PS4 action, sees me finally get my Battlefield 4 on. Graduating from helicopter school with flying colours (almost). There is plenty of pirate goodness in ACIV Black Flag and a look at Mercenary Kings, which kinda got forgotten on the pile of shame.

Stick It To the Man - Let's Play Part 1

Yesterday saw the latest title to join the PlayStation 4's Instant game collection, Stick it to the Man. Zoink's platform adventure game that follows Ray, who has a pink spaghetti arm growing out of his head.
What better way to showcase this month's new PlayStation Plus game and the new SHAREfactory video suite than with a quick Let's Play video of the opening chapters of Stick it to the Man. So sit back, grab a brew and enjoy.

Cue Video....

Introducing - My week on SHARE

With SHAREfactory coming to PS4, it gives a geek like me the chance to flex my editing muscle and combine a selection of this weeks game-play captured with the SHARE button on the PS4 controller and share with the world. This week has seen me getting stuck into ACIV Black Flag at long last, chasing down friends times in Trials Fusion, Getting my David Bailey on with the new Photo mode in inFAMOUS Second Son and enjoying some time with Knack (Yes, I am enjoying Knack!). Cue this up with some funky music and you have a quick look at some of this weeks highlights. Enjoy!

Share Factory Comes to PS4

With the release of the new 1.70 firmware update on PlayStation 4, comes the new video editing suite, SHAREfactory. This allows you to take your saved game-play clips and edit them, add transitions, combine clips, add commentary or music, even add themes based on game titles. It really adds a new level to sharing experience of Sony's new flagship console. Here is a introduction to SHAREfactory and how it all works.



Also, update 1.70 brings lots of other new features as well including Automatic pre-download of select pre-ordered games from PlayStation Store. This means your system will automatically download select pre-order games up to several days in advance of the release, so that it’s ready to play as soon as the game is released on launch day. There’s also a countdown timer prior to the release of the game so you’ll know how soon your game will be available for you to start playing.

Twitch broadcasting in HD. The resolution for live broadcasts has been increased to 720p HD. Also you can now archive your broadcasts on Twitch or Ustream and watch them again later.

New light bar settings have been added for DUALSHOCK 4, allowing you to change it to Bright, Medium or Dim in the Settings menu. The touchpad has also been updated, allowing you to navigate the on-screen keyboard using the DUALSHOCK 4 touchpad.

There are loads more improvements and features in this update that are waiting to be discovered.
