nice!

 

[Pizza]

My friend gets off work early tomorrow, I'm fucking excited for gtav with boost mode

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Lame. Not much extra at all from the beta.

 

[Rellik]

Lame. Not much extra at all from the beta.

Do you know what a beta is?

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

So no added new features over the beta. Any hidden features?

 

[Dunlop]

So no added new features over the beta.

If they added new content it would need to be tested.... In a beta

Any hidden features? Most of the firmwares have that and need to be discovered.

Edit: I thought the firmware is up already.

 

[Vashetti]

Ahh this one is official. We were led wrong not too long ago by this MAN!

Vashetti

wow

 

[DukeSilverHaze]

Can I plug in my External HDD with all my movies and music and it will just work? Or would I have to format the whole drive losing all my data?

You will have to format

 

[Qvoth]

will there be any significant boost to loading etc if i use an external ssd drive?

 

[Vashetti]

does not compute

 

[Past]

What time does new firmware usually become available? Midnight PST?

Really late at night/early morning. 3am-6am EST.

 

[Qvoth]

meant external ssd drive

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I'm looking forward to trying out boost mode even though I don't have a 4K TV yet.

 

[Jesb]

Sony where the fuck is the blutooth audio support...

 

[Vashetti]

meant external ssd drive

Solid State Drive

 

[Kilau]

I'm looking forward to trying out boost mode even though I don't have a 4K TV yet.

You are in luck, boost mode is for performance, not resolution.

FW will be live tonight 9pm PST 12am EST

 

[Arttemis]

I got a few questions, tho...

I already have a Firecuda 2tb SSHD in my PS4 PRO...

Is there a way to move all my games to an external HDD and then insert an SSD (500GB) as an internal? I would just moved games that i play most back to the SSD so it would load faster... would it be a good idea?

Will i lose anything by doing that?

Thanks for your suggestions in advances

This is literally my goal, too!

How did you know that?

 

[backbreaker65]

How did you know that?

Because it's the norm, they announce tomorrow with a blog and it comes out that night of the blog.

 

[SolidChamp]

Any good recommendations for a top-of-the-line external hard drive that I can order on Amazon?

Pro has USB 3.0, correct?

 

[Liabe Brave]

Very nice, glad I checked this thread.


btw, did anyone check any of the PS2 on PS4 titles?
Just thought of Rouge Galaxy.

Dark Cloud 2 has been checked, and didn't seem to have improvements. That's the only report I recall seeing (and only from one person).

I've updated my PS4 Pro enhancements thread now, so you can see what games are improved, and how, with Boost Mode once the firmware comes out.

If you test any games I don't have listed, I'd really appreciate it if you can post your impressions or video to that thread. I'll keep updating as long as new info becomes available. Thanks!

PS2 PS4 ports should be checked.

I always wondered if Pro enabled Sony to upscale to 4K instead of the 1080p on standard PS4.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

damn that's a nice update

Screw Boost Mode and HDD support...Custom Wallpapers is the game changer

Nothing

3.1, even faster

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Still nothing?

 

[timmyp53]

Lame. Not much extra at all from the beta.

Remote play voice chat and Mobile phone availability are two things I've noticed.
I'm sure there's more. On top of the great update already.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I really hope they enable mobile app to be used for party to voice chat. They enable the phone to be used as microphone in Singstar or the mobile app to be used to draw things in Playroom.

 

[Machinehead]

If I have a partitioned HDD, can I format just one partition and use it or do I have to format the whole HDD?

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Anyone in the beta know were I can find the themes and avatars in the PS Store? I don't see the extras tab no more.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

We're going to need a thread for Beast Mode. Anyone want to make it?

 

[Vilix]

First things first.

Where's the update?!

 

[Bishop89]

How long until it's expected to go live?

Your American times are too confusing 😝

 

[DiscoDave]

It's about time I just want to try gta5 online in boost mode.

 

[Wolf Akela]

So how do external speeds compare? I have a spare 2TB USB3 HDD lying around and it'd a lot more convenient to use that rather than replace my internal 500GB.

 

[Liabe Brave]

I have already added Boost Mode games tested during the beta to my Pro enhancements thread. I will continue to update the list if people post impressions/video/screens there.

If I had to guess a time maybe an hour from now when it's 12 pst/3am est (?)

 

[davidwhangchoi]

someone lied to me and said it will be 12am EST =)

edit: why do i care i have beta boost.

 

[Mendax]

how do I know if my external HDD is usb 3.0? I somehow feel like this is a silly question but I legitimately don't know

 

[Bishop89]

Cheers 🍻

 

[majin_pol]

3.1, even faster

nah.... its 5Gbps

3.1 gen 1 = 3.0

Yeah remote play voice chat is actually pretty awesome!

They may had the time zone wrong.
