New Features on the PS4
you may not know of.
One of the new features on the PS4 is the addition of
options in the Playstation menu which you access by pressing the Playstation
button located in the low center of your controller. While playing games,
mostly first person shooters, your controller may start making noise at you! It
is because of a speaker on the front. You can turn it off by pressing the
button on your controller labeled
OPTIONS and going down to adjust devices and the option that says Volume. You can also plug a headphone
into the bottom of your controller to those sounds through your headphones and
you have the option to either hear all audio through the headphones or only
chat audio if you are hanging out with your friends and you want to hear them
and perhaps talk to them through your headphones.
Another new
feature on the PS4 is name requests. This is when allows you to see a players real Name
instead of their PSN ID. You can
send it to one of your friends and if they accept, then you are able to see
their real name and they are able to see your real name.
If you ever decide to do this, do not worry about everyone
knowing your true name or identity, because only that person can see your real
name. To do this, go to your friends list and go to your friends then go to the
PSN ID of whoever you want to send
it to. There will be an option right next to the trophy collection
information that is labeled Send Name Request. Click that and if they want to they will accept and that’s how you use the
name request feature on the ps4.
The last
new feature on the ps4 I will be talking about and explaining is the trophy rarity feature. If you press X on your online ID it will
show Trophies You Have Earned press X on that and you will see your trophy list.
It will show all of the games you have played
online that are possible to get trophies on. Go to whatever game you want
to see trophies you have and ones you don’t have. It will show on the trophies
how rare they are, based on how many people have that trophy.
