Can I get some help from the Gaming Board? New PS4 Pro and old BF4 related.

Hey, nerd friends.

I bought a new PS4 Pro and gave my old PS4 to my brother. Long story short, when I bought BF4 I bought the PS3 edition that was eligible for upgrade to PS4 edition with a code. I tried to use the code again yesterday on my new PS4 Pro and no dice (SWIDT?).

I can download all the DLC maps for free no problem, but the game itself I can't seem to redownload for free.

Any help is appreciated.

How did you get the code? Maybe it has a one time use? I want to say all DLC for that game is free now anyways, or at least it has been a few times so maybe that's why you could download that.

The DLC came with Premium, so my PSN account recognizes that I was a BF4 Premium member and I can redownload all those at no cost. But it's not recognizing my PS3 BF4 disc.

I don't think it's a huge deal, I'll just find BF4 on Amazon or somewhere for cheap. I would just rather use what I paid for already.

wasn't there a deadline for this when the ps4 first came out? i recall CoD: Ghosts had a similar special.

it appears that i might've found a "how to".

Yeah I was just about to post this. Those upgrades have to be used within a specific time.

I got Battlefield 1 and like it, but I think 4 is just my sweet spot and keep wanting to go back, but it's harder and harder to find games. I never got too much in vehicles since I was usually running solo anyways, so my go to is Domination, but those games are next to impossible to find now.

I saw one of the DICE dudes say they have 5 days left until they can reveal what they've been working on. I'm guessing it's the next BF.

PS4 community is strong. There are a few hardcore conquest servers with all the DLC in rotation. The DLC game for BF4 is strong.

I want to say I saw an article saying there definitely was going to be a new Battlefield game next year, and I wonder if there was a loud enough outcry for another modern BF, people who couldn't get with WWI, and they decided to overlap the games a little more than they usually do, thinking the playerbase for both would be big enough to sustain.

So out of curiosity, do you still keep up with croacka, pap, black, and cool? I think they still post, but not here anymore.

Every so often I'll snapchat or text my bros and we talk from time to time. But not like the old days.

Every once in a while I'll be "oh yeah, I remember that guy" and look to see if they are still active. I know croacka, of course, is heavy on the new golf board, and paps is on the fantasy board a lot.

Were you ever into Hot Shots golf? I know it's kind of cartoony, but I always loved them. Anyways, a spiritual successor, Everyone's Golf, is coming out next month, I believe.

I was hoping for a Vietnam redux. More weapon choices, jungles, rice fields, etc.

BF1 is great but I dont care for the guns. Im much better on BF4.
