Windows 10: PS4 and Games

My 9 years old eldest grandson is about to get a PS4 for Christmas but he does not know it yet. I have been discussing games he could have, with his Dad. They are quite expensive, at least online, but so far two suggestions Garden Wars 1 and 2 (2 brand new) Plants vs Zombies and Star Wars The Awakening Lego at £50+ (ouch).

My question is: are these 'disk' games, or 'stick games', or are they played only online? Like Steam?

I dont use console machines so ignorant of the technicalities. He lives in Cyprus so I will have to buy and ship with £100 gift card I possess with a dealer.

PS4 controller won't work with PC

I was playing games on PS4 controller but yesterday it stopped working. i was using Input Mapper software to emulate x360 controller.

PS4 controller is wired. Games that can use DS4 won't work either with it.

 

I can't pair my ps4 controller since 1703 update

Could you please describe how you fixed this issue...I am having the same issue.

Only when connected over Bluetooth, my PS4 controller's light immediately turns off and games don't discover it. The bluetooth menu shows that the device is connected, but no games actually recognize it. It seems to work in Steam Big Picture mode but that's
it.

When connected over USB everything works fine and my games recognize it as a PS4 controller. The issues when connected over bluetooth started happening in 1703 update.

I've tried every recommendation on this forum and nothing has solved it...My workaround is to use

DS4Windows, and use it as an xbox controller...but I'd prefer for my games to see it as a PS4 controller.

 

Garden Warfare 1 and 2 supports 2 player split screen. I don't know about Star Wars: The Awakening Lego though but it has a single-player story mode.

If anything I'd pick PC over PS4 because you cannot play online with PS4 without paying for a subscription.

 

Hi Roaster, no - the ps4 is not mine, its my grandsons, as I said. You missed the point, and one which I got answered when I went down to a store to get Garden 2. The ps4 can run off dvds/cds so thats fine. As a non console user, I just didn't know.

 

minecraft, my 3 years old boy playing that all the time (if its available for PS4 that is lol)

 

thats very popular Bat, they play that online and seem to have grown up on it *Rolleyes

 

I sent them Garden Wars 2 and FIFA 2017, they love them
