tips n tricks

ah playstation 4 what a wonderful
0:13
console full of secrets and interesting
0:15
facts but let's say that you are trying
0:17
to get a platinum trophy for an awesome
0:19
game and you do not know how to do it
0:22
don't tell me you're one of those
0:23
newbies who hit the playstation button
0:25
go back to home open the browser and
0:27
then search in the browser how to get
0:28
the platinum trophy no the real super
0:31
players press the playstation button
0:32
twice consecutively to exchange between
0:34
the game and the browser and it also
0:37
works with other applications a little
0:39
tip that'll make you much more agile
0:41
when browsing on your playstation 4.
0:43
we all know that you can charge our
0:44
playstation 4 controllers by connecting
0:46
them through a usb cable right and also
0:49
everyone knows that while the controller
0:50
is charging it emits an orange light
0:52
that blinks but not many people have
0:54
noticed that these light pulses become
0:56
slower and slower while the controller
0:58
acquires more and more charge until it
1:00
becomes totally charged if you have the
1:02
playstation camera you can use it on
1:04
your playstation 4 to log in using
1:06
facial recognition
1:08
that's right you just stand in front of
1:09
the camera and you'll automatically log
1:11
into your console
1:13
activating it is quite easy to do it
1:15
just go to the settings menu select
1:18
login settings and activate the facial
1:19
recognition option
1:21
to finish follow the instructions on the
1:23
screen and you will have another
1:24
interesting trick to surprise your
1:26
friends at the next meeting besides
1:28
facial recognition you can also talk to
1:30
your playstation 4 and send commands to
1:32
it
1:32
to do this go to the system menu and
1:34
then voice operation settings once
1:37
inside you can activate the option to
1:38
use voice commands with your playstation
1:40
4. you can also see a guide to all the
1:42
commands you have available to control
1:44
your console very practical to turn off
1:46
the console launch a game or even take a
1:49
screenshot if you are a fan of getting a
1:51
lot of trophies in all your games surely
1:53
you have already realized that there are
1:55
some trophies that are hidden however it
1:58
is not very clear what to do to get
1:59
these trophies and you may not want to
2:01
have to search the internet for all the
2:03
information about each hidden trophy
2:06
but if you go to the trophy list of your
2:07
game look for the hidden trophy and
2:09
press square it will show you the
2:11
information on what you need to do to
2:13
get that specific trophy and continuing
2:15
with the theme of trophies sometimes
2:17
knowing how to get them is not enough if
2:20
you press the options button you will
2:21
realize that you can search the internet
2:23
for information about that trophy in
2:25
particular and you can even find videos
2:27
that show you how to unlock it
2:29
for me one of the most practical and
2:31
useful tips that not many people know
2:33
and that you can do on your playstation
2:35
4.
2:36
in this age of social networks
2:38
communication on video game consoles is
2:40
extremely important and that's precisely
2:42
why the playstation 4 allows you to send
2:44
and receive messages to your friends
2:47
however writing messages in the dual
2:49
shock and especially messages that are
2:51
relatively long is not the most
2:53
comfortable thing in the world to do on
2:54
your controller
2:56
that is why you can press r3 or rather
2:58
push down the right analog stick to use
3:00
the gyroscope of your controller when
3:02
writing a message to improve your typing
3:04
speed however an even more efficient way
3:06
to read and write messages is with the
3:08
playstation app on your mobile phone but
3:11
there is another app that many people do
3:13
not know about which is called the
3:15
second screen app in this application
3:17
you can write using your cell phone and
3:19
you can see how the text is filling up
3:21
on the screen of the playstation 4.
3:23
we like this option a lot since it is a
3:25
hybrid between the agility that you get
3:27
when texting with your cell phone and
3:29
still use the playstation 4 at the same
3:31
time
3:32
a pretty good option that you always
3:34
have to keep an eye on sure you have a
3:36
lot of friends on your console but of
3:38
course not all friends are equal there's
3:40
some friends that are more special let's
3:42
call them vip friends if you want the
3:45
playstation to notify you when these
3:46
special friends connect you can do it
3:49
you just have to press the triangle
3:50
button on your friends list and select
3:52
your favorite friends so you will always
3:54
be able to know when they are connected
3:56
if you have a game where the text fonts
3:58
look very small or for example you have
4:00
some limitation with your vision the
4:02
playstation can help you by zooming in
4:04
so everything looks a little bit bigger
4:07
you only have to activate the zoom
4:08
option in the accessibility menu and to
4:10
use it press and hold the playstation
4:12
button plus square
4:14
this will make the image look bigger and
4:16
you can even move the zoom
4:18
obviously it also works in games this
4:21
allows you to appreciate in more detail
4:23
all the efforts that the developers have
4:25
put into developing your favorite game
4:27
or simply improve your quality of life
4:29
while you are playing with your
4:30
playstation
4:31
have you noticed that your playstation 4
4:33
doesn't feel the same as when you bought
4:35
it it feels a bit slower the navigation
4:38
is not that fast anymore and the feeling
4:39
of playing with it is not the same as
4:41
when it was brand new
4:43
but don't despair there is a way to make
4:45
it like new the first step is to
4:47
completely turn off your playstation
4:49
that means not to put it on rest mode
4:52
but to completely turn it off
4:54
you will also need to connect your
4:55
controller to the console through the
4:56
usb cable and keep the ps button pressed
4:59
until you hear the power on sound twice
5:02
there you select the option to rebuild
5:03
the database and you will notice the
5:05
difference in speed in your console and
5:07
no this will not erase your games or
5:09
saves since this is an official
5:10
procedure recommended by sony it's so
5:13
fun to play with friends and even more
5:15
so on the same couch next to each other
5:17
right
5:18
but there are times that unfortunately
5:20
this is not possible however the
5:22
playstation 4 has a pretty cool option
5:24
to help you with that
5:25
there are some cases in which some games
5:27
do not have online multiplayer and even
5:30
if they do perhaps your friend does not
5:32
have the same game as you for these
5:33
cases playstation has share play
5:36
be careful this is not the same as
5:38
sharing your account or sharing games
5:40
this is something else if you are
5:42
playing and you press the share button
5:44
you can invite a friend to see what you
5:45
are watching or for him to take control
5:47
of the game you are playing this is also
5:50
extremely practical if you are in a part
5:51
of a level that you cannot pass you can
5:54
pass your controller to your friend
5:55
remotely and he can help you play
5:58
better yet there is an option that
5:59
allows both players to immediately play
6:01
the same game so both of you can play
6:03
fifa at the same time with a single copy
6:06
of fifa from anywhere in the world how
6:08
cool is that
6:10
how are you turning off your dualshock
6:12
controller do not tell me that you
6:13
entered the menu then go to the part
6:15
that says devices and then select your
6:17
dualshock and then you turn it off right
6:19
no no no the true super players leave
6:21
the playstation button pressed until the
6:23
controller is turned off a much more
6:25
practical and much more useful way that
6:27
makes you look like a true super player
6:30
what happens if your friend comes to
6:31
visit and play games with you but you
6:33
only have one playstation 4 controller
6:35
well many people do not know that if you
6:38
have a playstation vita lying around you
6:40
can use it as if it were another
6:41
controller
6:42
that's right there is an option to
6:44
connect your playstation vita to your
6:46
playstation 4 and in fact you can make
6:48
the game be displayed on the playstation
6:50
vita screen
6:51
it is almost like having a nintendo
6:53
switch but from playstation
6:55
and best of all this releases your dual
6:57
shock so that you and your friend can
6:59
enjoy great games like neck in
7:00
cooperative mode yeah the dual shock 4
7:03
battery is one of the worst batteries of
7:05
this generation in part because of the
7:07
super strong light bar on the controller
7:09
it can blind you if you're not careful
7:10
enough the good thing is that
7:12
playstation 4 gives you a lot of options
7:14
to improve the battery of your
7:15
controller considerably
7:17
if you go to settings then devices and
7:19
then controllers you can do things like
7:21
lower the volume of the controller and
7:23
turn off the vibration which helps a lot
7:25
with the battery you can also modify the
7:28
intensity of the brightness of your dual
7:29
shock light bar so that you can play
7:31
more comfortably in environments that
7:33
are darker and at the same time conserve
7:35
more battery
7:36
so while this controller battery is not
7:38
amazing at least you have options
7:42
if at any point your controller is
7:43
behaving strangely whether it's not
7:45
responding as it should or is randomly
7:47
disconnecting or is just plain crazy
7:49
there are a few things you can do to fix
7:51
it on the back of your dualshock 4 there
7:54
is a button to reset it you only need a
7:56
pointy object that fits inside the
7:57
controller hole keep this button pressed
7:59
until your controller turns off and
8:01
that's it
8:02
in most cases this can fix your
8:04
controller and make it feel brand new
8:06
the share button on the playstation 4 is
8:08
one of the best inventions this console
8:10
has ever had but unfortunately the way
8:12
it works by default is totally
8:14
inefficient hopefully you can change it
8:17
if you go to the settings menu and then
8:18
select sharing and broadcast you can
8:21
modify the type of behavior of the
8:22
shared button and change it to the easy
8:24
screenshot mode from now on when you
8:26
press the share button a screenshot will
8:28
be taken if you press it twice quickly a
8:30
video will be recorded and if you keep
8:32
it pressed the share button menu will
8:34
appear this way is much faster to be
8:36
able to record a video while you are
8:38
playing for me one of the most practical
8:40
tips that not many people know if you
8:42
are the parent or guardian of a minor
8:44
you should know that there are ways to
8:45
control the content they play on the
8:47
playstation 4 and even the amount of
8:49
money they are allowed to spend on the
8:50
console to start select the settings
8:52
menu and see where it says parental
8:54
control family management the system
8:56
will ask you for a password and if you
8:58
have never set one use zero zero zero
9:01
zero
9:02
from here you can start to put filters
9:03
to the internet pages that can be seen
9:05
on playstation 4 and also you can start
9:08
creating and managing your family that
9:10
is create profiles for each of your
9:11
family members and put different
9:13
restrictions on each one of them this
9:15
way the same playstation 4 can be used
9:17
by different members of the family both
9:19
children and adults and you can also see
9:22
how long they have been playing with the
9:23
console and set limits on when and how
9:25
much they can play also of course limit
9:28
how much money can be spent on this
9:29
playstation pretty neat right the
9:31
playstation 4 is such a flexible console
9:33
that it allows you to continue playing
9:35
even without using your television
9:38
that's right you can use the remote play
9:40
function that is remote play through a
9:42
laptop a tablet or a lot of other
9:45
devices and continue playing away from
9:47
the tv
9:48
obviously the performance of this
9:50
function depends entirely on the quality
9:52
of your internet connection and is
9:53
preferable that your playstation 4 is
9:55
connected by cable
9:57
but it is extremely cool to see your
9:59
console being controlled and displayed
10:00
by your mobile phone
10:02
for some people this works pretty good
10:04
but maybe not for others since sometimes
10:07
they may perceive some lag or the
10:08
connection cuts
10:10
basically it all depends on how reliable
10:12
your network connection is but this is
10:14
another alternative that the playstation
10:16
4 gives you to play with and one of the
10:18
most interesting functions of this
10:19
console there are times when you turn on
10:21
the playstation 4 to start playing and
10:23
you really don't want anyone else to
10:25
distract you maybe you're concentrating
10:27
on a single player campaign or just
10:28
watching netflix or youtube and don't
10:30
want any interference
10:32
if you press the options button while
10:34
hovering your profile you will be able
10:35
to log in offline mode
10:38
that way no one will realize that you
10:39
are connected and hopefully no one will
10:42
bother you this is much better than
10:44
connecting an online mode and then
10:45
switching to offline mode and if you
10:48
change your mind later you can simply go
10:50
to your profile again and select how you
10:52
want others to see you
10:55
if you are really really lazy and don't
10:57
want to turn on your tv after you turn
10:59
on your playstation 4 there is an option
11:01
for that as well that's right you simply
11:03
have to go to settings and then to
11:04
system there you select activate hdmi
11:07
device link and if your tv supports it
11:10
when you turn on your playstation 4 your
11:12
television will also turn on and vice
11:14
versa
11:15
you can change each one of the buttons
11:16
on your dual shock 4. this is very
11:19
important if let's say you own several
11:21
consoles and you always find yourself
11:22
confused about which console you are
11:24
playing and which button is in which
11:26
place in addition if you have any
11:28
accessibility limitation with the
11:29
controller maybe because your hand
11:31
cannot reach a specific button you can
11:33
actually change the assignment of any
11:34
button and replace it with another one
11:36
very easily
11:38
basically any button on the controller
11:39
can be modified and you can even invert
11:42
the operation of the analog sticks it's
11:44
super awesome that sony has implemented
11:46
these options so that all super players
11:48
regardless of physical limitations can
11:50
enjoy this wonderful console you can
11:52
group games and applications in other
11:54
words you can create folders and put
11:56
content inside them for example you can
11:58
create a folder only for driving games
12:01
or a folder only for ps4 exclusives
12:04
you can rename the folder and also add
12:06
games or applications that will be
12:08
inside it
12:10
it's a very practical and very fast way
12:12
to organize your entire video game
12:13
collection using the folders on your
12:15
playstation now an interesting fact did
12:17
you know that the playstation 4 uses a
12:19
power cord known as universal 8. this
12:22
power cord has been used in the
12:23
playstation 1 the playstation 2 the
12:26
playstation 3 slim and the playstation
12:28
4. also a lot of printers use it so in a
12:31
way we can say that this is the only
12:33
playstation component that is fully
12:34
retro compatible but seriously to
12:36
conclude we're going to show you how to
12:38
make your playstation 4 perform better
12:40
online which is the part that
12:42
playstation 4 commonly lacks
12:45
for this we are going to modify your
12:46
network configuration so take a
12:48
screenshot or picture of your old
12:50
settings before changing it in case it
12:52
don't work this will work better with a
12:54
network cable than if you use wifi but
12:56
it can be done with wi-fi as well go to
12:59
settings network and select your network
13:00
connection that you always use
13:03
once you are connected we will change
13:04
the ip addresses manually put an ip
13:07
address that no other device in your
13:08
house has for example 100 27 the subnet
13:13
mask 255 255 2550 and the gateway
13:16
depends on your router but it is almost
13:19
always 10 0 0 1.
13:21
now let's change the primary dns that's
13:24
where we will do the magic because if
13:26
you use 888 and then 8844 you will be
13:31
using google's dns the fastest there is
13:34
obviously how effective this method is
13:36
will depend on many factors such as your
13:38
internet provider where you are in the
13:40
world etc but many people have confirmed
13:42
that their download speed and data
13:44
upload speed have improved by using this
13:46
method so you don't lose anything by
13:49
trying and if it doesn't work you can
13:51
put it as it was that way you'll be
13:53
playing with less lag and having better
13:55
download speeds definitely one of the
13:58
best secrets of the playstation
14:00
4. super players
