Just finished updating and now every party and game invite I've got in the last month or so is popping back up as a notification. Been going for like 5 mins now lol
Latency is really minimal, 60fps video stream is butterly smooth and clear [home RP, direct connection with PS4, PS4 connected to the net via LAN]. The moment you enter into PS4 menus, 60fps is instantly noticeable. I tested Tomb Raider [60fps game] and Bloodborne [30fps] and both are great!
Also, I recorded vid of resuming Bloodborne session. Boot is 15sec:

The same accessibility features the PS4 got are also on the Vita with one of them being able to change your button assignments
Haha, that happened to me on a previous update. I now do regular cleans on my notifications just in case.

Wow that's less then most energy saving led lightbulbs.
I don't think so. Assuming there is absolutely no upside to this feature electricity usage wise it would be an additional 3.5 EUR a year for me.
(Assuming I always put it in rest mode all year every day.)

wow, this is a major update. suspend and resume apps AND customized controls..
Depends on the title.
Do you think all games were developed with this console feature in mind?

Where'd you get this? Isn't this even less than when it launched?
It is almost nothing. Its like a modern Led light bulb. 9 PS4:s in rest mode would be equal to a regular light bulb.
A fridge depends but a modern fridge maybe uses 30 Watt per hour on average. That is 7 Ps4:s in rest mode.
Its nothing, but EU says its too much

What is the deadline for achieving those halved figures?
Sony realised they would be stupid to remove the Vita's killer app.

Sorry if answered, does the game pause in suspend or is the game still running ? So if I suspend in Bloodborne, can I still get killed and will it increase my ingame time ?

are you sure? the customized controls are a system feature, it tells the ps4 which buttons are replacing each other.
Uh, it's system wide. It works on all games, because the re-mappings are handled by the OS before being sent to the game.

My PS4 won't go into rest mode!
It tries for about 30 seconds, beeps, and gives up and powers off.
Any ideas?

Interesting, that would probably explain why Sony switched to calling it "Rest Mode".Its nothing, but EU says its too much

Its in a fittingly named folder called "junk" with about 10 other apps.

hmm, good question. i know for a game like Metro Redux where it's offline, it put it in the pause screen.
what apps do you have open?My PS4 won't go into rest mode!

They didn't remove Near, just the Map functionality of the app because they removed Maps.

Have you gone into Power Save Settings and set Functions available in Rest Mode?

New Vita stuff.
My Bloodborne theme actually looks hella cool with it on, but everything else looks ridiculous lol
If anyone still cares about 'near' on Vita: Looks like it's not totally dead.
In the old version, it'll tell you where you checked in and clicking on the location name will show you a map
Now, you can still check in, but all the locations will just be called "Location"
And you won't get a map of where.
So, basically: 'near' is still alive and you can still earn game goods from strangers...but now you just don't know where you checked in (which will especially be odd if you're like me and set 'near' to "obtain location automatically at regular intervals"...)

Well almost certainly yes. They should all contact a single "gamepad API", and sony now gave us chance to tweak that API.
My issue with this update is, why is the rest mode button outside of power options, but when you go into power options, there's another rest mode button? Just have one, take it out of power options and call it 'extra power options' or take it out of the regular menu and have all the states in the power options menu

So in-games prompts will be switched onscreen as well? I haven't downloaded the update yet to try this.

Oh thank god! Now I can use the theme.I think this is new: You can now select between standard, white, black text color shadow on themes. The black makes the text easier to read on my Bloodborne theme
That discover feature ended up explaining it to me, if you have any rest mode features enabled, it puts rest mode outside of that menu as a shortcut, if you have no rest mode options enabled then instead it displays the Turn off option as a shortcut.
edit: I mean I guess it doesn't also need to be in the power options as well, but that's how I see it as, a shortcut.

A small, neat addition for button mapping is that you can have the option to enable/disable it in the menu that pops up when you hold down the PS button. It's small, but it's certainly nice to have it there instead of needing to go through menus to disable it for games where I won't need it.
For games going forward I could see that happen, but probably not retroactively on games already released. But the re-mapped function of buttons works on all games.

60 FPS remote play is ridiculous.
