PlayStation4 FW 1.5 details
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
Certain people are just desperate to spin something into bad news for the PS4.
It genuinely makes them uncomfortable seeing all the positivity over a product that competes with the one they're buying.

There is a key difference though.
Most of the XBone delayed stuff isn't coming until 2014.
PS4 is thourgh a day one patch.
They clearly were not in the same stage of development, but both were rushed a little bit.
Apparently yes.
Because they would have needed to start making those disks about a week ago. So they wouldn't have as much time to make the firmware.
I'd brace yourself, Microsoft hold loads of patents around these kind of things . That could be the terrifying truth as to why it's not there.
You should be able to.

considering how good sony is with firmware updates...make break a few ps4's lol, j/k
But this is a double standard, everything sony does people make an excuse for...first it was free online gaming, then sony charged so people made excuses for it to be ok.
Now its a patch...while it may not stop you from playing, it IS required for alot of basic features.... so no matter how you spin it, if you wont to do alot of basic things then you will need to download this patch.
MS is wrong, SONY is right regardless...i wonder if some of you realize that these corporations are not your friend or buddy, they both want your money! so blind allegiance does nothing but make you sound ignorant.
AND if you noticed, sony surely didnt announce this nonsense during e3 or when the wave of MS hate was high, very good move, but overall everything is a double standard here it seems.
At the end of the day, both will sell well, ill have both, and x1 will be number 1 or number 2...win win situation for the two next gen systems

That being said, though there may be some disparities between the two consoles, honestly, we live in an amazing snippet of time, where entertainment just keeps getting better and more convenient.
So much need for negativity lately. We really should focus on the positives here. I was genuinely surprised to see the Sony store app announced with this patch. Didn't seem like it would be ready.

Aside from the suspend/resume what else is missing?
A lot of people talking "featureS", I only see this one.
As for music, PS3 isn't like that, Vita isn't like that, why PS4 would be like that? Seriously... You just want something to complain abaout apparently.

That's the only thing that is disappointing, the 300 mb isn't a big deal and the music thing isn't confirmed yet.
Uh, yes?
Sony has been touting the suspend/resume since they first unveiled the console. It's arguably THE biggest feature of these next-gen consoles. And then just three weeks from launch we learn that it'll be coming later on - I would certainly call that a "gotcha".
I'm not mad about having to download a patch, it's just lame they withheld this information instead of being more upfront about it.

Pretty shocked that remote play is going to be available at launch. I'm really curious just how well if at all playing a PS4 game remotely on your Vita will be like. To me this is kind of a game changer if it works well. Imagine just bringing your Vita to work to continue playing a game from home. Pretty friggin cool.

I don't use Facebook so I have to ask... how easy is it to rip videos from the site? My thinking being I'll upload to FB and then rip it from my FB account/wall/whatever and U/L again on YT. Convoluted but better than no YT upload at all.
Wow. So much bias in this post.
I think this day one patch also explains why we haven't seen any hands on with the GUI beyond the dev kit XMB.
Vita has custom soundtracks that work very similar to 360.

All of this should be included already. I don't want to try and download 300mbs on day one when everyone will be killing their servers.

You are no Heisenberg, no.
This differs a bit from xbox one dayone patch because :
-It's not mandatory and the PS4 can still play games
-You can patch from a usb key, you don't need to have your console online
I just hope they'll release the patch a few days before the launch to avoid servers congestion.

Nah, because it almost works perfectly on Vita on an OS level.
Who the fuck on GAF should care? Why wouldn't you want to connect your PS4 up to the internet? Don't you want to access your free games?

I'LL WRITE AGAIN. SONY HAS SAID ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO USE MU TO LISTEN CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS. IT IS STILL THE CASE UNLESS THEY LIED.
WTF googling info sucks... I remember it as answer in comments somewhere but google seems to bring nada good results.

The meltdowns on Day 1 if WiiU had actually been a popular console....
When does GAF not over react ?
It's arguable what makes the site so entertaining.

But I don't want them to stop working on the OS months before the console launches, or hold off on manufacturing the console to finish the OS in time, because that's what would have had to happen to include everything.
I don't know why anyone was suprise, i thought the day 1 xbox one patch outrage was ridiculous too. it doesnt make sense to hold up hardware production to wait for your OS programmers to get everything ready, I assume the 1.5 patch will be included in game disk's aswell. so you might not need to download it from the internet. KZ:SF has just gone gold, I'd be suprised if the patch isnt on the disk.

What bias? What absurd did I say?
You're right on the second one. I expect a video like this one in the next couple of weeks though:

I'm hoping for custom soundtracks for the PS4, but if it isn't there, I'm not going to be surprised. Perhaps I need to see the patents.
I know Vita runs a separate app in the background, no reason why the PS4 couldn't unless there is some legal reason for it not to.
Tone it down, and provide a link to that statement maybe?

For being only 300mb, it seems like the update is really just an unlock "key," so to speak. For their sake I hope nothing stupid happens because of it. Sucks that there's no resume/suspend at launch, but this is the price of being first.
I'm still hype.

Your definition of "withheld" is a strange one. What exactly do you have invested in the PS4 now vs. a month ago or any other time that somehow makes this not "upfront" enough for you? You still have three weeks to pretend cancel your pretend preorder if you want.
Opening a brand new Wii U fucking. sucks. Easily the WORST experience I've had setting up any console since the NES launch. Love my Wii U. Amazing system. Incredible games. And spotpass downloads of subsequent system updates is ridiculously painless.
but yeah, that first system update on top of needing to update Nintendo land.. it was really hours. horrible.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping. Even if the disc games don't contain the latest firmware, they always contain the firmware required to play the game (ps3 games did).

Since they at least mentioned the suspend mode that means they know its important and hopefully that will be in the next patch, which hopefully isnt to far away.
Thats the only issue i have, i really like that feature. Alot of the other stuff will be answered in that FAQ, they cant possible list everything the system could do in that blog post. Plus we dont know what was already in there so not being in the patch doesnt mean its not there.

Fucking nice.
Can't stop playing the DS4 on my PS3, can't wait until I'm using it for the system it is intended for
I knew we could do this from the thread earlier in the week, but do you have any impressions?
