Serious Bug: PS4 Automatically Deleting Games From Library

"This hardly seems to be an isolated incident as several users have reported similar issues in the past. While the game's data files are deleted, it seems the save files are relatively safe. "

feel bad for whoever has that problem
i mean you can just download them again

psychmnts4518d ago

Yeah I can, but still frustrating when my connection isn't bad but isn't exactly the fastest, luckily the largest games I have are disc based but since this has happened I won't be downloading large games via psn anytime soon.

ZodTheRipper4517d ago

All my games are PSN downloads and I fortunately haven't experienced this yet.

ChronoJoe4517d ago (Edited 4517d ago )

I've heard my friends have this before. But they found out what it was, if you go to close application by highlighting it on the main menu it's very easy to accidental click 'delete application', it's right next to 'close application'.

It doesn't ask you to confirm the deletion like most software. It just disappears as if you closed the app. Best bet is to get into the habit of closing apps by holding the ps button rather than through the main menu.

elmaton984517d ago

Well most of my games on ps4 are digital and nothing more and I dont have problems with my save games or my original games.

Prime1574517d ago

Anyone in tech support well tell us that many problems are user error. Whether it's not paying attention or not understanding how the software works, many are user error.

It happen to me two times both cod and killzone got deleted. And the campaign for both. It didnt allowed me to recover it from the cloud. I had to start again. Fix it soon plz.

Ninjamonkey824517d ago

@ovnipc No big loss with Ghosts ;). Tbh id trade that sob towards something else.

Shnooze4517d ago

Why does this comment get disagrees?

Kribwalker4517d ago

Because it is putting the ps4 into a negative light on psn4g.com

Dgander4517d ago

@Shnooze N4G is a Sony Pony stable. Everything Sony does is automatically right and Microsoft and Nintendo is wrong by default.

BLuTheSecond4517d ago

@Dgander,

Well everything Nintendo does is actually wrong so at least that part is factual. lol

ThunderSpark4517d ago

@Kribwalker & Dgander:

If you don't like N4G then there's IGN, gamespot, kotaku, destructoid, and many more. Go over there and stop crying on every article about how much you don't like the site. Your secret agendas do not work here. Good night.

PS3Freak4517d ago

@Kribwalker

I still remember when this site was mostly Xbox fans back in 07 when the PS3 was really struggling.

They all disappeared when the PS3 started to turn things around.

Oh how times have changed.

AceBlazer134517d ago

That's bs cause even if a game gets deleted the saves are unaffected. If your telling the truth then your really bad lucky. What are the chances of a game, a local save and cloud save being lost. Maybe someone unplugged your ps4 while it was in standby.

Prime1574517d ago

Dgander, if n4g is, "a Sony Pony stable." Then why did you get more agrees than disagrees? Naturally, the stable would have flooded "disagree."

Fanboys on both sides are the worst, the majority are relatively neutral and just love their games. One week it's xbox fanboys complaining about Sony fanboys, then the next week it's Sony complaining about xbox.

Kribwalker4515d ago

@ps3freak
All those idiots that were crapping all over the ps3 are now the ones crapping all over the Xbox one. You guys have just converted them onto the ps4 bandwagon and to that I say good riddance. I didn't like it when those idiots were on the xbox side either. I don't really care either way tho, I typically buy all systems every generation so I can play all the exclusives, it's just really annoying to see threads blow up with people saying stupid crap all the time when both companies are money hungry corporations that main concern is their bottom line and people get so defensive and idiotic posting the same things over and over.

wsoutlaw874517d ago

Its probably corrupt data, not the ps4 just deleting it. Maybe it wasnt turned off correctly or there is a hdd issue.

troylazlow4517d ago

That sucks! Not having any issues with my XB1

Rockstar4517d ago (Edited 4517d ago )

not very stealthy trolling

OT:

That sucks! Not having any issues with my PS4

Edit: I did upgrade my HDD to a 1TB hybrid though.

insomnium24517d ago

Could you even be more offtopic?

MetaReapre4517d ago

Could you troll a lil bit harder next time? I'm not even the slightest bit moved by what you said. Glad your having no issues though.

Anyway, back on topic, I haven't experienced it yet but is it a growing issue? I wouldn't want it happening to me. Too many downloaded games. Lol

Cha0tik4517d ago

I find it very weird that all these people are having so many software issues and hardware issues but I haven't happened to have one problem.

Neonridr4517d ago

Because if it doesn't happen to you it can't be true? Wow, does the world revolve around you now too?

Cha0tik4517d ago (Edited 4517d ago )

LOL I love how people add on to what I'm saying just to get some agrees -_- Sorry, I mean't my group of friends but just for the sake of being an ass I'll say yes it revolves around me and the various other people that have never experienced this "issue". @neonridr

My point behind this is that it seems to be isolated because my 3 friends and I have yet to have one problem besides one of us receiving a DOA PS4 on launch day but that was easily fixed with a replacement.

Tetsujin4517d ago

So I'm not the only one who experienced this then; I had it occur with Resogun and Zen Pinball. Saves were there however the games vanished, and I know I didn't delete them. Good news is at least someone else is reporting this so it can at least be investigated.

Sayai jin4517d ago

Agreed. It unfortunate to those who experience this. A patch will should come out soon to remedy this issue.

truefan14517d ago

Yea this isn't good, something is definitely wrong on the software side of the ps4. It sucks Sony is making fans wait until the Japan launch for an update. Too many reported bugs for the ps4 since launch.

suicidalblues4517d ago

I've had a bunch of "bugs" too. My ps4 seems to play all my multi-plats in higher resolution and more fps than my xbone. I hope it's not a hardware issue.

OutcastMosquito4517d ago

I had a similar problem, when I first got my PS4 whenever I would change users it would delete my save data for games which was a total buzzkill... I haven't experienced that problem for a while now and hope someone can relate. BF4 deletes my campaign save EVERY time I connect online, anyone ever have that happen??

3-4-54517d ago

As long as the save file remains, this is just a small bump.

If the save file is gone, it's enough to kill off the love or want to continue playing a certain game and may lead to you never continuing on with that series again.

It happens.

Hopefully it's fixed.

Neonridr4517d ago

lol, like BF4's campaign progress getting reset? Happened to me twice. Fortunately the second time I played it I did it on Hard, got all the collectibles, and got all the trophies in one run. So while my campaign progress is gone, at least I have all the SP trophies achieved.

AnEwGuY4517d ago

Never heard of a data cap I see.

PudgeySan4517d ago

K, First off, The title of this article.. for one, Cancer is serious, Your games being deleted of your ps4 is a first world problem and should be chalked up with dropping your iPhone when your drunk or the water isn't hot enough cause your roommate takes amazingly long showers. Seriously gamers now a days bitch about ever little small detail to the point where they just bitch and don't actually play games. I can understand if it's a recent EA game, I mean they couldn't fix bugs to save there own lives but seriously, Any other issues is usually resolved in like a week or 2.. Do we really need an update ever time a bug is found !!! .. Yes !!! we do, cause that's what is fun, Bitching !!!

P>S - Total Rant.

Anon19744517d ago

So 4-5 people on Reddit reported this? Wow! Stop the presses! That's some great reporting there. They should really confirm on Twitter that there's a problem. Thanks, GamingBolt!

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4517d ago

Looks like they should of delayed the PS4 too. None of these consoles were ready to come out in 2013.

Rimeskeem4517d ago

Yes but people cannot stand the minute wait.

Saves are safe tho? Then no biggie.

xYLeinen4517d ago

If you have PS+ they will be for sure..

Rimeskeem4517d ago

why would you not have PS+ on a ps4?

daboosa4518d ago

Trying to have a dig me thinks.
Come up with something better!

BlackCarrot4518d ago

Publishing a known and serious bug is having a dig? Do come up with something better mate.

psychmnts4518d ago

Not trying to have a dig at all, its been happening for the last 2 months and I was keen to solve it through Sony, however eventually it seemed like they were unsure so rather than wait for it to happen again another few weeks down the line I preferred to replace my console.

Eonjay4518d ago

Sounds about right. I would have done the same thing. Makes it sound like a potential HDD issue with affected units. I think if it was "serious" you would have heard a lot more complaints over the last 2 months. Still good to know. I like being aware lol.

Milruka4518d ago

"Next-Gen"

It so bad it doesn't even want you to play it.

quaneylfc4517d ago

this will triple feb 15th :P

Master-H4517d ago

So how did SimCity and Diablo III treated ya, PC fella ;)

Milruka4517d ago

Don't know, I don't play bad games.

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.

Cacabunga55d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot53d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose55d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE55d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername54d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy55d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde54d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8654d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8654d ago (Edited 54d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300055d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle54d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7754d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
