There are lots of rumblings in this thread of feature that may or may not emerge from this firmware. I'll list them from the ones I perceive to be most likely to least likely.

- In-game messaging
- Official trophy support
- In-game soundtracks
- In-game video messaging
- Universal record/upload to YouTube of games

I may have missed something too.

OMFG LEAK IT!!!!!!

how does MS custom soundtrack work? do you actually have to set something? or is it as simple as bringing up the blades and pressing play? im thinking the in game XMB will be this simple

Dude, I'm just going off what others are saying and adding my own speculation. :lol Like this:

When/if some kind of "custom soundtrack" function become available, it will obviously have to be patched into earlier games for it to work as intended.

As intended = stopping for cutscenes and such.

There's been a lot of Youtube wishing. Did the SDK update thread (was there a thread?) say it'd be an OS function that could be universally applied or was it a SDK (hint, hint) feature to be implemented on a per-game basis?

I'm pretty sure we should expect the latter. :(

Speculation, I would say, rather than credible 'rumblings' :p

I agree with your ordering. In-game messaging and soundtracks seems very likely. Trophies are possible. Video recording or in-game video messaging seems very unlikely.

It is 100% an optional thing.

It could later become universal, but I certainly wouldn't think that'd be in 2.4.

Without wishing to sound like a know-it-all... my thoughts exactly - hence the "hint, hint" which I'm sure everyone will ignore!

To most devs, this is pretty low priority stuff and there's also performance penalty (even if it's slight). I wouldn't hold your breath over it if I were you...
Click to expand...

I completely understand that there is a performance penalty to implement upscaling. What I'm hoping is for some way provide the upscaling without any kind of penalty, done in the OS without any dev implementation.

Well, you know, if PlayTV is ever to be a successful product...

We know Cambridge are working on it so a by-product of implementing it for Play-TV could have sexy results?

Will they have faster music fast-forward speeds in FW 2.4?

Actually, now that I think about it, it will probably be a stealth update.

OMG, this pisses me off so much when listening to podcasts. It's basically all or once or nada.

WOW Where's that hype train gif when you need one. I think expectations are probably waaaaayyyy out of line especially with the youtube thing.

Youtube uploading capability is there now. It just has to be implemented by the developer. At this point, it's the same as custom soundtracks in-game.

That right there inspired an idea inside me (this might already exist somewhere that I just don't know about):

Every time you put in a BluRay, it would give you the option to rip a video thumbnail from the disc and store it on your hard drive. That way, you could go to a BluRay folder in your XMB and see all the movies you own, browse your movies using video thumbnails, and play them from the HDD (i.e. clicking on a movie would bring up a prompt that would say, "Please insert movie X.")

Could I just look at my movie shelf? Sure, but this would be much cooler. It would also promote that whole idea of turning on your PlayStation without knowing exactly what you're going to do.

Patent that, then sell it to Sony asap

We need something like the xbox 360 has, but they have a advantage with MSN Live which Sony does NOT have :(

Honestly...the idea of being able to capture direct feed videos and upload them to YouTube blows away any firmware feature to date. If we could really do that (and if they let us layer in sound like we can in the PS EYE software), that would be un-fucking-believable!
Click to expand...

Yep. If they do this it I'll really be impressed.

Btw I don't wanna spoil everyones attention but we all know that Sony can be quite dissapointing. I just hope that it won't the case this time with the features.
