OMG

 

[Broman1978]

I think it's screenshots only, but you can take a screenshot of an image from the web browser.

Nice thanks for the Tip!

 

[tusken77]

And probably the most interesting feature:

- Boost mode (applicable to PlayStation 4 Pro only)

"Time to activate it."

"Activate what?"

"Boost Mode."

 

[Lucreto]

Not much in this update for me.

Boost mode seems okay but it will be months before I go back and see how well it works.

I already have a 2TB HDD in my PS4 so it's not really needed but I suppose it would be useful to store PT.

 

[derwalde]

Think im gonna reinstall BF4... is it still alive?

 

[YoungOne]

Good stuff, but I still want a customize controls option for vita remote play.

 

[Aceofspades]

Amazing update.

Boost + External HDD+ Psvr improvements.

 

[miller.skippins]

Is there a reason this post doesn't mention external HDD or custom wallpaper?

Please read the first paragraph again..

 

[Interfectum]

Please name the OT:

PS4 Update 4.5 [OT] Blood-Starved Beast.

Or

PS4 Update 4.5 [OT] Blood-Starved Boost.



Or this.

Beast-Starved Boost

 

[dralla]

Can you use one external HDD on multiple PS4's? Essentially plug and play? Or will each PS4 try and format it when you plug it in for the first time?

 

[farisr]

I wonder if they went through with the notifications changes they had in the beta or not. I really hope not. I get where they were coming from, but not being able to clear notifications was just stupid.

 

[kriskrosbbk]

So is this boost mode,boosting my PRO vents?

 

[holygeesus]

So is this boost mode,boosting my PRO vents?

Yes. Depending on the game, you will hear the fans more often with boost mode enabled.

 

[Tjamato88]

Did I just miss it or are they not updating notifications too?

 

[Pillville]

I think Sony said it was too difficult to change the name on PSN as the way it is set up the entire account is built around the name. Changing it will cause all sorts of problems.

They are one of the biggest tech companies in the world. Fucking figure it out.
Every other account system on the planet has a way to change your username.

If they can't let you change names, then allow you to transfer your purchases/friends/trophies/etc to a new account.

 

[Just_one]

So no update on the trophy department? can anyone confirm this?

damn sony

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Was hoping for a more meatier update. Besides boost mode and custom wallpapers it's pretty lackluster for me.

Seems pretty meaty to me, even if the VR and Pro features don't apply to myself!

What additional firmware features did you have in mind?

 

[Pillville]

Does domeboy remembers the method to use images from the Internet as wallpapers?

I'm not domeboy, but....

You can use the PlayStation browser to get to the image. take a screenshot. set as wallpaper.

 

[Inglorious_ Man]

Just ordered a 4tb WD external hard drive. Along with my 2tb internal hard drive in my PS4 Pro I should have plenty of space.

Nice!

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

The silly new notification setup in the beta has got to go.

 

[Fandangox]

Ready for a much more personal PS4 home screen? Head to Settings, then select Theme. From here, choose ‘Custom' and select any screenshot and set it as your new PS4 home screen wallpaper.

Oh yes

 

[Kilau]

So no update on the trophy department? can anyone confirm this?

damn sony

What kind of update?

 

[killatopak]

Update vid.

 

[MetalGearZed]

They need to fix the screenshot wallpaper quality.
the IQ takes a hit when you set them to wallpaper.
are they capped at 1080p or some shit?

 

[adamsapple]

Oh yes

Yep, already have a whole host of Horizon screenshots as potential wallpapers.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

lmao

GIF and Boost-o mode are the game changer for me, hype!

oh yes also sharing directly on your feed

 

[ozz ex machina]

I barely touch my ps4 and here I am looking up 2TB usb drives...but fuck I really hate having to manage the storage on it.

I'm also tempted to get a pspro now as well with boost mode.

I need help.

 

[Just_one]

What kind of update?

Organize by console , by name , being able to delete games without 0%

 

[dubq]

I love anytime we get a major feature that has been long requested by the user base, there is always someone to chime in that they want something else. Like we are never satisfied.

That being said, I wish they would add a way to remove things from our download list.....

You just did exactly what you were complaining about in your first paragraph. Never change, GAF.

 

[callsignkrogan]

lmao

GIF and Boost-o mode are the game changer for me, hype!

agreed cant wait to try this out on some of the older games.

 

[Kilau]

Organize by console , by name , being able to delete games without 0%

Oh yeah, better options for sorting would be great.

 

[Matush]

No word on notifications, wonder if they listened to people and kept it like it is now. It was horrible in Beta.

 

[HStallion]

Beast-Starved Boost

I made this joke a while back. The proper name is the Boost Starved Beast!

 

[Theman2k]

Delete games from trophy list without 0% is my lifes wish and dream.
If it will happen i'll throw a party and all GAF will be invited.

Make that 2!

 

[v1ncelis]

Honestly, all I need now and one missing puzzle in PS4 software is some sort of activity log.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Been a beta tester and all I got to say is get ready for beast mode for the pro!

 

[Dan]

Damn, I was really hoping a store wishlist would sneak into this update. Maybe next time...

 

[DangerMouse]

Whew, they're in there. Can't wait to try boost mode on some games and 3D blu-rays in my headset.

Glorious!

 

[Boogdud]

Anyone with the beta notice if they ever fixed the blu ray surround issues over hdmi? Or if they have done anything to fix the slow network issues (even on a fast connection)?

 

[Irishonion]

Sweet, think I'll grab the 5tb one, not worried about space or having to use a extra power source.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

been on beta... boost is awesome

 

[Toparaman]

Boost Mode is great, but there still needs to be a "play as Standard PS4" mode for the handful of Pro-patched games that perform better on standard PS4 than PS4 Pro, before I feel completely comfortable purchasing a Pro.

 

[redskinfanva]

just curious i was in the beta do i have too re download this?

 

[Mesharey]

USB hub for PS4 Pro so I can install the HDD in the back with PSVR, or just make the HDD visible from the front hmm..

 

[Kaako]

Mmmm that PSVR update. Keep em coming!

 

[OzzieTF]

Beast-Starved Boost

Good one. My pick too.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Anyone look at Warframe with boost on?

 

[Krusenstern]

FUCKING YES!
Finally being able to get rid of the slowdowns in Dark Souls 3. A few areas and effects heavy-battles can make the game run in slow motion.
