Support NeoGAF

[IndoAssassin]

Should also add the ability to make sub accounts master as a friend of mine called to complain about it and the rep said the feature will be coming with 2.0. They just haven't announced all the features as some things are still left under wraps.

Hmm if this is true and Sony does add a ton of requested features in this update, does this mean Sony is doing what MS did with the 360. Doing a major overhaul of the UI every year in the fall?

But I'm probably just fooling myself lol.

It may just be that. Sony did get alot of complaints about their frequent firmware updates. If Sony do follow the 360 approach of a large fall update then Microsoft and Sony have swapped approaches to game consoles for this generation.

 

[Traffcore]

Is it so hard to implement so that you can watch all of the Twitch streams instead of making a limit to only PS4 streams?

 

[Dingy]

Is there a date for 2.0?

 

[coolasj19]

Is there a date for 2.0?

Someone would have bumped the thread if there was one.

 

[SpiritSlayer]

Does YouTube support mean that there will be an app similar to the 360 or just the ability to upload to YouTube directly?

Both.

 

[NeoRausch]

Is there a date for 2.0?

I wondered exactly the same when you bumped this thread.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Yesssssssss
Edit: wait, this is an old thread, how did I not know about this before?!?

 

[hagege_s]

For the people asking yes they did say 2.0 will launch September 26.

Any news about that ? Releasing a firmware update a friday is unusual.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Themes are most welcome

I used to love making them for PS3

 

[Gillian Seed]

So Friday huh?

 

[FullMetaltech]

So Friday huh?

Not even sure. Hopefully there'll be a blog update today for it announcing when itll drop.

 

[Lionheart]

I really wouldn't expect it Friday. Didn't they say on the blog that they'd disclose more new features in the coming months or so? Anyway, I'd expect a blog post first detailing more features and then it'll come a week or two later.

 

[Rosur]

So Friday huh?

I'm doubting Friday for the patch (maybe the announcement is Friday) patch following Tuesday.

 

[androvsky]

I've heard a couple solid rumors that it's coming in November, I have no idea where September 26 came from.

 

[darkwing]

no way it will be a Friday, it's a weekend

 

[FullMetaltech]

I remember when they announced it they said Fall. Which could probaby be anytime from now til early December. But during TGS they had shown a date but not sure if it was for 2.0

 

[Solid Samus]

no you wont be.

what about colors?

because if my only option is themes available on the ps store

then this is entirely fuckin pointless

 

[IAmRandom31]

This needs to hit soon!

Can't wait to just send my vids directly to youtube and not worry about copying to USB, then putting on comp, then uploading to youtube.

Themes will be great too. They need a Bloodborne theme

Doesn't 2.0 also include the SharePlay stuff? Where you can try out friends games for an hour at a time? Or take control as they play? Stuff like that?

 

[DWinn7]

Yeah we need some more information on 2.0

For some reason, I feel like it's going to drop around November.

 

[Spineker]

I hate this bump. The blue is really starting to get old and I thought I was about to see the end of it. Nope.

 

[liquidtmd]

November for a major update seems a tad bold considering it's probably the month PSN will be under the most stress anyway with the big hitters...errm, hitting (COD et al)

Next week Sony plz

 

[Mengetsu]

Fuck this bump got me hype! I doubt it's this week

 

[FullMetaltech]

I've heard a couple solid rumors that it's coming in November, I have no idea where September 26 came from.

I had to rewatch that part of it again. It just mention Torne and Namse on 25th. Not sure if thats what they meant.

 

[AlucardGV]

bleh, who cares about themes that you even have to pay. give me psone compatibility at least

 

[kruis]

I can't believe what a total failure Sony has been in regards to PS4 firmware updates. In the ten months since the launch of the PS4 we've seen just two notable PS4 firmware improvements: an editor for video captures and Blu-Ray 3D support. Everything else is MIA.

No Suspend/Resume
No PS1/PS2 emulation
No DLNA
No Folders
No suspend/resume download function
No media play support (JPGs, MP3, CD, MP4, MKV, AVI, etc)
No ingame custom music

At least we get support for themes and support for SharePlay and Playstation Now in 2.0, but those aren't features that interest me that much. I want suspend/resume plus support for various audio/video formats.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Yeah, this patch better be fucking huge. And I'm not talking about that shareplay shit.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Don't worry guys we should be getting another stability update soon

 

[goombatommy]

Don't worry guys we should be getting another stability update soon

lol. Dem stability updates.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Yeah, this patch better be fucking huge. And I'm not talking about that shareplay shit.

that shareplay shit IS fucking huge.

Unless I'm missing something.

Going to be awesome to be able to play various games on my friends list to try out. I'll be able to try out Dragons Age 3 for example. Or a different region of DriveClub or whatever.

I know I'll be helping out friends a lot in Bloodborne lol. God knows how many would come over to the house to watch me play through a section of Demons Souls.

SharePlay is going to be badass.

 

[Jamie OD]

Don't worry guys we should be getting another stability update soon

More stable than the new iPhone.

 

[Spineker]

More stable than the new iPhone.

Well you know, just make sure you don't get too bent out of shape about it.

 

[Åesop]

why do they keep those ugly Vita bubbles (ง ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)ง

 

[driver116]

SCE really need to engage the community more, especially with updates. It's like they're trapped 20 years in the past.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

More stable than the new iPhone.

Hehehe the new iPhone definitely needs some stability!

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

why do they keep those ugly Vita bubbles (ง ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)ง

The bubbles are fine on the touchscreen of the Vita but it's not really ideal on the Playstation TV. I wouldn't be surprised if they did revamp it to make it better, but i would also be surprised if Sony actually tried when it comes to anything Vita related.

 

[KillGore]

why do they keep those ugly Vita bubbles (ง ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)ง

They work great. It could be a lot worse, it could be metro style.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

People complained about the constant firmware updates on the PS3 so Sony obliged with the PS4. Suddenly monthly updates are all the rage. There are many things that have flipped this generation to suit a certain demographic.

 

[5amshift]

Oh, fuck that Toro theme is mine.

 

[hagege_s]

There were complaints because these updates were useless.

 

[driver116]

People complained about the constant firmware updates on the PS3 so Sony obliged with the PS4. Suddenly monthly updates are all the rage.

But we still get stability updates, probably more than on PS3. All they need to do is dedicate part of the ps.blog to feedback (not the blog share) which shows the status of upcoming features or at least acknowledges that they're in development or not. And can talk about bugs/wanted features with the PS team. Instead they leave us wondering and uninformed with the whole "well it plays games don't it?" mentality being referenced. They simply don't give a shit about these types of gamers making the whole "for the gamers" slogan even more unbearable to digest.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Can i change the background color on PS4? has there been any info about this? Or is it just themes?

 

[driver116]

No you can't, and no mention either. Crazy, such a simple feature to implement too (like literally a change of RGB values).

 

[markhimself46]

Yeah, themes are cool and everything. But stability updates are where it's at.

Also, does anyone know if Share Play will allow you to earn trophies if you don't have the game?

 

[TP-DK]

Hopefully this update will fix the messages first showing 3 minutes after you get Them. So damn annoying.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Four Vita theme pics here.

http://scei.co.jp/corporate/release/140901b.html

I want that Danganronpa theme.

Edit: And from this thread I found out that the 3DS is getting background themes as well.

 

[Bluenova]

I missed this news! this is sick ! awesome. Driveclub theme!

for me next feature update id appreciate is custom mp3 playback. Destiny would be 2 or 3 times more fun shooting aliens to my hype tracks

 

[IAmRandom31]

0% chance of that happening

cry me a fucking river. ps1 and ps2 emulation? the ps4 plays ps4 games god damn fine.

and regards to DLNA and media support, big deal. 4 year old TVS can do all that, I bought the ps4 to play games by myself and with friends, it is a dedicated gaming device afterall, not a media box.

some people just have to bitch about the same thing and how said company is the worse thing ever because of it, even worse are the people who say they won't buy said device because it is missing these kind of features. Why even buy a ps4 if you're so bothered about these extra tiny things.
