Support NeoGAF

[RoboPlato]

This doesn't seem to mention being able to move screens via USB, just video. Very odd and disappointing if that's the case. I hope I'm blind or just misreading things.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Does this fix the glitch with the share feature?

 

[The Llama]

Yeah, this struck me as odd. What's the point in making it something you need to turn off? Increase the number of people contacting your support channels?

I mean, if you know what HDCP is and why you'd even want to turn it off, you're not gonna need to contact their support.

 

[Riderz1337]

Share Factory looks really cool! Love the transitions.

 

[Ken Masters]

Good to hear about pre loading, that should be a must in this digital era

 

[VanWinkle]

Looks great.

 

[_hekk05]

I'm amused. I wish that the add your own music part will allow us to actually play mp3

Spoiler

BELIEVE

Because the video shows you being able to play through your project, imported music and all, I'd say you can infer that the system at least already has mp3 playback capabilities. Dunno if they will lock that behind a music app tho

 

[RedAssedApe]

so i really do hope this is SOON and they aren't just doing the whole "let's give'em a little info to satiate them for a few weeks before they start complaining again" trick lol

They're adding countdowns to game releases

I’m excited for the pre-download feature. I hope this means that I will be able to play a pre-ordered game at midnight in my local time zone instead of waiting for midnight Pacific time.

I know right?? There will be a countdown that starts when the official time of release is announced.

a countdown would be cool

 

[plainr_]

Yay for preloading! Now even more incentive to go digital.

 

[Dead Prince]

a countdown would be cool

as long as it's not using steam's afternoon release. but let's be real. if the game isn't a AAA it's going to be released during the day.

 

[Trojan]

Pre-loading...like a baus

 

[RyanPierre]

They can't because then you wouldn't be able to watch blu-rays, so they compromise to let you turn it off for capturing game footage.

My point was why does the user need to turn it off for capturing gameplay footage? Why is it not automatically off for capturing gameplay footage? It seems like an unnecessary obstacle.

 

[Athreous]

Can't wait to play a bit wth the new Infamous photo tool and this =D

 

[RedAssedApe]

people gonna rage if there is a countdown but SCEA PSN is still on Grace Chen Time lol

 

[Syphon Filter]

preloading! hallelujah.

Sony exploring/evolving dynamic themes

Thanks for the support – we know you guys love dynamic themes on PS3 and look forward to evolving the idea for PS4… How would YOU evolve dynamic themes given the flow of the PS4 UI? We’re listening… let us know!

 

[Dead Prince]

My point was why does the user need to turn if off for capturing gameplay footage? Why is it not automatically off for capturing gameplay footage? It seems like an unnecessary obstacle.

because what is the % of people actually recording content. the people that are will know what to do right?

 

[DemonCleaner]

finally

This doesn't seem to mention being able to move screens via USB, just video. Very odd and disappointing if that's the case. I hope I'm blind or just misreading things.

would be more than strange if you only could export video to usb but not screens

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Normally I'd say they want people to not know how to turn it off so they have to use share but I imagine anyone with a capture card would be able to figure it out.

So...I have no idea.

 

[Yaser Tech]

I really hope so. First thing i'm gonna do is import music for my MGS:GZ chopper

 

[ethomaz]

I'm holding a video just to use this SHAREfactory.... master excited.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

They are prioritizing gaming

Well could they AT LEAST give us something on this,

Sony made a HUGE deal out of 3D last-gen and now they just chuck it aside? Come on!

 

[Pop]

This short video wasn't all the features, looks like they just wanted to highlight the big new feature.

Pre-loading is amazing...

 

[razgriz417]

seems like the TV/Movie industry has given up on 3D again too lol

And back on topic, while I'll probably never do something neat enough to spend the time to edit something, this is pretty damn sweet for people who do this kind of thing

 

[Dead Prince]

like every other huge companies? 3D isn't taking off anymore.

 

[RedAssedApe]

People complaining about youtube upload...has there been any implementation where the video quality turned out equivalent to self-uploading a video?

for example, past COD games had upload to youtube capability and quality was awful. i think some later version of sf4 had something like that too iirc? is upload to youtube on xbone better or worse than uploading to skydrive?

 

[grkazan12]

Can't wait for the update, but they seriously got to do something about the horizontal UI bar, that thing is only going to get longer and longer as time goes on. It makes sense that the most used apps are in front, but there's got to be a better way.

 

[The Llama]

Honestly don't know if I'll ever use it, but man SHAREfactory looks really cool. Guess that guy was right about them getting the Vegas people to help them out.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

That's gotta mean mp3 support if you can use your own music. It would be beyond stupid to lock your own music behind an app for video sharing.

 

[Tsundere]

Add your own original music? MP3 playback?

 

[ethomaz]

OHHHHH MY MONTAGE TIME!!!

 

[VanWinkle]

Yeah, something's going on there.

 

[UpsideDownAce]

Pre loading?

AWWW YISSSSSSS

All digital ps4 here I come!

 

[ethomaz]

You can import your musics from USB.

 

[molnizzle]

Dude, you're the only person on the planet who cares about 3D Blu-ray. Seriously, I've seen the statistics, it's just you. That's why Sony chucked it aside. 😏

 

[jacksepticeye]

Will I be able to pause,stop and prioritise downloads? Pain in the arse having the system just auto download everything at once on my crappy internet

 

[furious]

Dude, you're the only person on the planet who cares about 3D Blu-ray. Seriously, I've seen the statistics, it's just you. That's why Sony chucked it aside. ��

0/10.

 

[coolasj19]

I hope the pre-loading pre-order countdown timer is literally the mist extravagant, gaudy, and lavish countdown timer ever. I want to experience that Kando they're always talking about.

 

[Heshinsi]

You can import your musics from USB.

It would stand to reason that we SHOULD be able to import to our PS4s and play them like on the PS3 right?

 

[TropicanaTwista]

The sharefactory seems really cool, but what happened to the suspend feature? Did sony forget about that

 

[RedAssedApe]

0/10.

truth hurts

 

[Cudder]

Is preloading something that will be for EVERY digital title, or just select titles?

 

[Hubble]

You know what would make people preorder more? If you get the game a few days before official release.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Being all digital, pre downloading is awesome. Hopefully we don't have to wait till 12:00 am Pacific, either way, it beats having to wake up at 4am Atlantic to start downloading inFamous SS to have it ready for when I wake up again.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

i think sony needs to employ more people in software update department or something, i have xperia z1 compact and i still havnt got android kitkat update, wtf is wrong with them
and regarding the ps4 seriously how much time does it really take to include dynamic themes? how hard is it

 

[SirMossyBloke]

You know what would make people preorder more? If you get the game a few days before official release.

You know what would make me pre-order more? Not having to waste a day off waiting for a game to come out sometime between 1-5pm or whenever the hell they feel like releasing it.

 

[SpookyFries]

Their Facebook post says Screenshots and Videos

 

[FHIZ]

Does this fix the glitch with the share feature?

That's what I want to know. This is all nice, but it doesn't mean shit if the share function keeps saving the wrong 15 minutes without the actual clip I want saved.

Play as Soon as the Game is Released
Providing you with immediate access to your games is a priority designed into PS4, and something we will always strive to make better. We’ve had a great response from PS4 fans about the Play as You Download feature, the snappy load times when launching and playing games, and the general speed and responsiveness of the UI. The 1.70 update adds features to build on this idea and make it faster to play the games you pre-order with an auto pre-download capability, which allows you to pre-download your select pre-ordered game up to several days prior to release. If you have the auto-download feature enabled, it will automatically pre-download your pre-ordered game so you can play as soon as the game is unlocked on release day.
As I mentioned earlier, some of these features were a direct result of the great feedback we’ve been getting from you, our dedicated gamer community.

Pre-loading! \0/
