After a very odd fiasco involving the possible release of the PlayStation Plus edition of Driveclub, the US store update has finally gone live. As we reported earlier, the Driveclub appearance turned out to be an apparent mistake and is not available this week.
What is available is Batman: Arkham Knight, which has been reviewing extremely well. Also available is the special edition of Devil Mary Cry 4, and Planetside 2 finally makes its way to the PlayStation side this week.

Planetside is up on the EU store too I believe. Though it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back with me regarding download speeds on PS4…..please Sony undo whatever you did to throttle speeds a couple of firmware updates back. Currently downloading at a measly 0.2mb/s.
MrYd
Planetside 2 is there on the EU store, but only if you search for it. It’s not showing up on the latest games page. All the paid stuff for it is though, at up to £65.99 for some “battle cash”.
That probably says all you need to know about the game. That and the fact that the beta was shit. Big empty spaces that didn’t look that good and not even the slightest hints as to how everything is supposed to work.
You might be better off spending that time it takes to download on something more useful. Like complaining to your ISP about your terrible download speeds?

Heh, definitely not an ISP issue, it’s a throttling on the PSN side, believe me I’ve been through everything and know my ISP well. There’s a couple of in depth threads elsewhere with a lot of investigatory work into what, why and when it happens with PSN though no conclusive explanation of if it will ever be fixed.
On the Planetside front, I’ve not played it since the PC beta a couple of years back so I’m interested to see how it translates, even if it appears to be quite poorly.

I downloaded Wolfenstein on Monday. Stupid PSN sales. 47 gig of it took 12 hours. So around 9Mbit/s. That’s probably around the usual speed I get.
Now, obviously that’s not as good as it could be. The PS4 doesn’t seem to be able to get much above 18Mbit/s over WiFi. But it’s fast enough, and I’ve not got any real complaints. Especially not with the download it while you’re playing thing. (Ok, there’s an issue with the update that just refuses to download. It keeps saying I need to make 140MB more space. No matter how much more space I make)
It sounds more like it’s a combination of things though. If you have issues (which that speed would count as) it’s likely your ISP _and_ the PSN being the problem. It’s not the PSN, because that would affect everyone. And it’s only an issue with the PSN, it’s not your ISP either. The route PSN traffic takes to your ISP, possibly only at certain times? And a certain amount of luck?
I guess I’m quite lucky here. Small town, not a huge distance from the exchange, which is probably not too busy. And Sky seem quite happy to give me as much speed as the line can handle. And let me use it as much as I want.
