PS4 Firmware 3.0 Features

darknil said:
Well..

1. Multiple PS4 for some, security of the save for all. Once I had a bug on Child of Light that corrupted my save before the final boss. I was able to download the version that was on the cloud created the night before automatically, so I just lost 1 hour instead of the full game.

2. See 1

3. You cannot have multiple versions of a save for all games on the hard drive, so see point 1.

4. The amount of games will increase for every user, even if it's only via PS+, so maybe you have a GTAV save that you left last year and you want to get a 100% now, so a lot of people don't usually delete old saves.

5. The standard is 10MB per save, BUT there are a lot of big names that don't use this, for example if you don't take care of The Witcher 3, you could have like 500MB of saves for that game, same situation happens with GTA.
Replays are also a save per replay, so if you play a driving game or a sports game, probably you have more saves for those games.
And let's not forget that there are lot of games that creates save data and also profile data.

6. You can only put saves, but saves are more than just progress as explained before.


So I hope that summarises the hype, also, 1GB made sense like 4 years ago, but for PS3 and Vita saves.

It was 9:50pm when you posted :p

Do you have to be on 3.0 to join a community? If they are limited in size they'll be filled with beta members before the full release. Hopefully there won't be a strict limit. I'd love to have a larger group of people I can compare scores against and see what's going on

Yes, I believe it's an option since the original format is still supported

Can someone upload a pic with PNG and the old format? I want to see the difference

Yep, found it! Hold Share button->Option button->Share settings->Screenshot settings

Anyway, i can see the difference in sharpness.

Not seeing a huge difference, is it supposed to be noticeable? Everyone was hyping up PNG, so Im curious as to the difference

Oh, nice to hear. I'd love to know if you can create threads or if it's just messages atop messages with no real coherence.

I'd hope for in-game filters for communities too eventually? Like Driveclub time trial results for World/friends/my communities
 
Just CTRL-TAB between them. Huge difference. There's more detail on the rocks, roof, grass, everything.

If you're viewing it on a shitty monitor or phone it may not be noticeable.

Well, check the hair then. Anyway, save those shots and try to scroll them in ACD See or other similar program. I'm sure you will se the difference in sharpness, especially when it's zoomed!

Oh wow, didnt catch the hair. Yes, there is some sharpness in the PNG leaves. I am curious to see which games have the most drastic differences.

Thanks for the pic.

One is compressed and the other is essentially a full-quality / lossless screencap. I can see the difference without even zooming, but as suggested open both in separate tabs and make sure both are 100% size, then switch between the two. If you still see no difference, see your nearest eye doctor ;P
 
Can anyone elaborate on what features are included in communities or is that NDA? They mentioned photosharing and messages boards. Is it like a Steam or Facebook group?

Can definitely see the difference although that's probably not the best game to illustrate it. Some decent DriveClub & Witcher 3 shots would probably do it though.

EDIT:
Yep, DriveClub!
 
Seriously is there a better way to utilize cloud saves across multiple systems than having to manually download each game you want to play, manually upload the changes, then manually download those changes back on the primary system?

I feel like maybe I'm missing something. Cloud to me implies some level of intelligence and synchronization, not just a big dumb hard drive in the sky. The current system has to be manually micromanaged for any use case other than automated backup of a single console.

Speaking of saves is it known whether 3.0 will offer the ability to mark multiple games for copying to/from cloud/usb?
