Support NeoGAF

[Goodacre0081]

looks like the last update (1.70) took two weeks to launch from the preview date.

 

[Withnail]

How is it any different / better than just "buying" (but not downloading) the titles?

Yeah I don't get it either, it's already possible to add to library without downloading.

 

[Vire]

You're right,nthose are big ticket items we've been waiting a long time for (suspend/resume since launch..), but I think it is fair to give credit for them adding useful features like background music playback.

Background music playback that is half assed.

I don't want to plug in physical media to my PS4 to listen to music, I want to be able to stream music from my laptop through DLNA.

It's fucking 2014.

 

[Skeff]

True, but it actually makes sense this time.

PSN goes down

No scheduled maintenance

No update on whats going on just investigations

Instead, update on new and improved PSN 2.0

Different people work in different departments I guess.

 

[Palette Swap]

Custom soundtrack? Yup. Stoked.

USB music player is hardly custom soundtracks, unless I missed something.

 

[ItsTheNew]

Do those USB hubs work for the ps4? The ones that plug into the pre existing USB ports and expand the amount to 4-5?

 

[franknbeans]

Notification when friends go online?

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I'll admit my post was mostly a knee-jerk reaction, but still, the slow progress in adding the most-requested features which still are missing (e.g. suspend/resume, DLNA) is seriously bumming me out. This is definitely a step in the right direction, but at the same time, I cannot applaud them for adding the more basic stuff that has been part of the PS3 OS for ages.

I can. For two simple reasons. 1. Sony isn't a software company. 2. The PS3 and PS4 run completely different hardware architecture and system OS.

 

[AndyD]

Any youtube details?

 

[WickedLaharl]

 

[somesayyea]

the themes and the folders/organization stuff is welcome, but I'm starting to think that the suspend/resume feature is never coming.

 

[Pillville]

"Add to Library" is a FANTASTIC addition.

You can already see all free games here:
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/free-games/cid=STORE-MSF77008-PSPLUSFREEGAMES

Just "buy" them all for $0 then check out.

 

[EatinOlives]

They listen to their fans all right...they just don't really do anything about it.

 

[BocoDragon]

Christ I remember those days. When we were so full of hope and promise... What happened man, what happened?

We were high on Cerny. The hangover is awful.

 

[Mr E.]

Can I plug in my G27 yet?

 

[Killthee]

date?

My guess would be November. Xperia Z3 Remote Play is coming in November and that will probably require an update on the PS4 side.

 

[Loudninja]

Any youtube details?

Just this.

The update will also add highly requested broadcast and video share features, including both uploading you game play footage and dedicated app support for YouTube, which we mentioned on stage at E3. Finally, What’s New will get enhanced real-time activity through friend-of-friend suggestions, allowing instant access to friends’ and recently played games’ broadcasts, and a real name search function will also be added. More features to come when v2.00 is made available this fall, and we will have more to announce in the coming months..

Christ I remember those days. When we were so full of hope and promise... What happened man, what happened?

Sony happened. Same thing happened with the PS3, this is just to a lesser extent.

 

[Black Republican]

Music option is ace, sucks theres still no suspend/resume tho

 

[SlugSh0t]

Are there any screens that showcase the sorting features for apps?

 

[nikos]

Great features here, really looking forward to them.

 

[Zombie James]

They listen to their fans all right...they just don't really do anything about it.

Who says they're not working on it?

 

[Gator86]

Seriously fuck Sony for this. They sold the console on features that do not exist. Just a complete bait and switch from them.

 

[Afro Thunder]

It's seems that isn't going to be this time that we will get Option Files support. I was intending to buy PES 2015 in hope that OF support would become available. So Fifa 15 this year.

 

[Thrax]

Love my PS4 (and XB1), but the Xb1 team is destroying them with their monthly system updates/functionality.

 

[Skux]

How is it any different / better than just "buying" (but not downloading) the titles?

It isn't haha, but I suppose some people think the transaction isn't complete until the download starts.

It's much easier just to "purchase" them on the browser store, that way you can get the PS3 and Vita titles into your library at the same time.

 

[-griffy-]

Yeah I don't get it either, it's already possible to add to library without downloading.

Only if you do it from the webstore. If you buy a game straight from the PSN store on PS4 it will try to download it I believe.

 

[TimeEffect]

Nice workaround the music player thing, and I dont mind using USB

Thank GOD for themes and colours, but please, we shouldn't have to wait another year for:

-folders
-pause downloads
-friend notifications/friend grouping
-improved UI functionality (one press invites, smaller/minimal in-game XMB that doesn't take up the whole screen!)
-Suspend/Resume

MS is just trouncing them on this end

 

[zychi]

USB MUSIC YES.

Will save WWE 2k14.

same ol shitty engine tho lol

 

[TheSlySoul]

Any youtube details?

It is included, but no details otherwise.
Looking forward to being able to do playthroughs. Youtube is going to have to work on content ID things before the patch goes live because it could be a mess.

 

[Guymelef]

Do those USB hubs work for the ps4? The ones that plug into the pre existing USB ports and expand the amount to 4-5?

I never tried but there is things like this.

[Wereroku]

USB music player is hardly custom soundtracks, unless I missed something.

It plays in the background while you play the game and it turns off in-game music. How is that not custom soundtracks?

 

[RedRooster]

Well, it's not the "blow it up and start over every two years, in a good way" type of update the 360 had, but it's something I guess. I expect iterations of 2.XX through 4.XX by next spring.

 

[quesalupa]

MUSIC WOOOO.
Give me DLNA and Suspend/Resume and I'll stop complaining.
Edit: Uggghh I can't save it to the system? Guess I need a bigger USB.

 

[ItsTheNew]

I never tried but there is things like this.

.

Right, I haven't seen anyone saying those work/fry your ps4

 

[De_Legend]

Nice update!

And one of the theme looks like the PS2 boot screen thing.

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Background music is brilliant. Via a flash drive is a bit strange though. Still, baby steps.

 

[Goodacre0081]

USB music player is hardly custom soundtracks, unless I missed something.

it says you can play music while gaming right here. unless "custom soundtracks" are something completely different?

USB Music Player: PS4 owners can play their own music in the background while playing a game using USB Music Player*. After inserting a USB stick loaded with music into the PS4, a new option for USB Music Player will appear. Supported filename extensions include MP3, MP4, M4A, and 3GP.

 

[funkystudent]

No local storage for music? No photos as background?


A real half step update but its welcome.

 

[Aizen-S-Kennedy]

Wtf? I don't want ANY of this I just want more stability . Mmmmm dat stability

 

[Gazkapop]

It's decent but I was expecting a little more from this update in all honesty.

Using USB for music playback just seems bizarre when so many people want DLNA and even more so since the PS3 can already do it.

Not being able to pause and/or queue downloads either really sucks for someone like me with a dire download speed as well.

 

[Veritigo_X]

I never tried but there is things like this.

How the hell does a USB 3.0 slot work if the PS4 only has 2.0?

 

[TimeEffect]

Also, I am guessing they wont allow custom download themes? Gotta make that $$, right?

 

[Xando]

How the hell does a USB 3.0 slot work if the PS4 only has 2.0?

3.0 is backwards compatible i think.

 

[MaximusPayne]

But for real, where's the:

Themes?
Folders?
Resume/Suspend?

 

[kabel]

How the hell does a USB 3.0 slot work if the PS4 only has 2.0?

It has 3.0

 

[Skux]

- Yes USB hubs work with PS4, I use one to charge the controller and Pulse Elite headphones at the same time while the wireless dongle for the headphones is plugged in.

- Yes you can charge your controllers and any peripheral off a different USB port if you have a computer nearby.

 

[whiteape]

Can we create our own themes?

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Still no Bluetooth headset support. Disappointed.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

They threw more features onto 2.0 than I thought. Seriously can't wait for the update .
