Support NeoGAF

[thuway]

Probably the weakest mainline update to date for PS4.

1. Where are folders?
2. Better/Streamlined media playback. The FAT32 restriction and the lack of support for file types such as FLAC are awful.
3. Uncompressed/High Quality capture uploads.
4. Support for external harddrives.

C'mon Sony :/.

 

[NastyBook]

- You can broadcast via Youtube

Damn, that was fast. Will use it when it goes up.

 

[dracula_x]

Here you go guys. I passed it through every language on google translate to make sure we didn't miss anything. I highlighted the important parts.

It's new in this beta, version 3.00, which is important,
...
Now you can connect your tub.
...
14:50 Son of the changes, announced a week after the law came two weeks, and I believe that the time may be long.

finally, lol

 

[Goodacre0081]

Guys keyword here is beta so not all features will be present in it

what extra features were left out of the last beta?

 

[ItsTheNew]

So, is there a way to get the update early by doing some port forwarding tricks on your router like last time?

 

[SteveO1683]

I was hoping YouTube broadcasting would be there when their gaming stuff launched.

 

[Jabba]

I like that we can finally comment on things in the "What's New" section.

I'd like to be able to turn the "What's New" stream off.

 

[DamnBoxes]

RIP friend log-on notifications.

Have they ever explained why friend log-on notifications aren't there? Are they "working on it"?

 

[Lionheart1827]

finally, lol

Hell yeah, just jump in an--

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

All I really want is PS1/PS2 Classics (and BC for those discs, I guess).

 

[see5harp]

I'd like to be able to turn the "What's New" stream off.

I wouldn't mind the section if it was actually good and worked. Anytime I come back from rest mode it's just "cannot load."

 

[Goteki_45]

there's gotta be more to the update than this right?

Spoiler

Maybe friends pop up notification and folders perhaps?

 

[Kuraudo]

Youtube broadcasting is good.


Seriously need folders, or at least more customisation options in the library.

 

[31GhostsIV]

All I really want is folders, with pin-able items so I better control over what's visible on my home screen (and the items I use aren't constantly pushed out of the way by updated games and apps). Just more customisation in general, like being able to use my own photos as the background instead of the crap themes on offer. Basic stuff really.

Maybe i'm getting too old but I couldn't care less about the social feed stuff.

 

[Nesther]

Another update, and still no increase in the 1g cloud storage. We're never getting the upgrade, huh?

Also besides the Community feature this doesn't seem to be a significant enough patch to warrant the big 3.0. Unless the Community feature is as life-altering good as say Miiverse or Steam.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Can we turn off automatic trophy screenshots?
Can we change our PSN IDs?
Can we edit our PSN avatars on PS4?
Can we we upload more than a handful of game saves to the cloud?

No? No? No? No?

Oh. Good update, though, I guess?

 

[Metfanant]

is it really that hard to get a notification when a friend signs on?...damn...even if you're worried about constant notifications for those with lots of friends its an easy fix. Allow us to set "favorite" friends...and only get notifications about them signing on...or even default it to off, and we have to go in and manually check which friends we want notifications from...

oh, and seriously...actual external drive support would be awesome...

 

[Steel]

Still no ability to appear offline, eh?

 

[Deku Tree]

Those are some nice features. Can't wait. Hopefully this fall.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

I feel your pain. Guess I'm stuck being an asshole and ignoring my friends while I'm watching Netflix/HBO/single player game until the next major firmware update

It boggles my mind that we are approaching 2 years of the PS4 being out in the wild and we still don't have friend signed on notifications or appear offline. Maybe they will get it done before the 2 year mark.

Pretty much this.

Toss in PSN store support for some of those PS1 classics too, while they're at it. Or PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility.

I'm beyond ready for a new UI layout too...

 

[atomsk]

Considering my YT subs is at 18k compared to 91 twitch subs... this is great news.

Except they haven't rolled out the livestreaming beta to my YT account yet. (I've got some friends with less subs who have it, seems to be a bit random)

Thanks, PocketNews.

This so much bullshit. Since when the fuck was a gaming console turned into some effing PlayStation variation of twitter? Ooh friends here, community there yada fucking yada. Fuck friends, fuck people and fuck random people an extra time. Nah give me PS1/2 BC.

Only good thing was the accessibility settings for those that need that and again fuck everything else here.

It seems like they are adding favorite to friends. I do want friends notifications but only for favorites.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Youtube broadcasting is very interesting since The Verge recently published an article about Youtube doing better at livestreaming than Twitch.

I hope that is not all for v3.0. Folders and custom backgrounds would be nice, too.

 

[brandonh83]

Let us change our fucking ID's already ffs

 

[sturgboski]

I'd like to be able to turn the "What's New" stream off.

I imagine that won't happen as they are probably generating ad revenue from the stream. If they aren't I am surprised they haven't leveraged what's new as an ad platform like Facebook feeds. I'm also disappointed they haven't leveraged ads in What's New to support the Vita, but that's another story.

 

[driver116]

I don't think these updates warrant a major version number change. Seems minor 2.6 or something.

 

[Glorious Ownage]

PNG captures pleasee.

Seriously this seems like a no brainier for Sony. Xbox screen shots are seriously outclassing ps4 grabs making it look like the weaker console.

Oh also friend online notifications PLEASE

 

[Nesther]

Let us change our fucking ID's already ffs

At this point I don't think it's ever going to happen. Maybe it's time to let go.

 

[Jabba]

I wouldn't mind the section if it was actually good and worked. Anytime I come back from rest mode it's just "cannot load."

Yeah, I can definately see how it stinks, if you have a possibility to enjoy a feature and it doesn't work.

 

[Schryver]

Is there still no dedicated Twitch app? Cause that's pretty ridiculous if so

 

[Spukc]

first thing i did was disable all notifications..
did it improve yet ?

 

[jimbobsmells]

This can't be it... For a 3.0 release?

 

[Artex]

Community sounds great. I can categorize all the people who friend me for being elite in TLOU from my IRL peeps.

 

[driver116]

first thing i did was disable all notifications..
did it improve yet ?

The endlessly looping 'discover - power options' notification is an amazing feature.

 

[SwiftDeath]

That seems fairly tame for a whole number update like that

Hope there's more interesting features not yet revealed

 

[Spukc]

Is there still no dedicated Twitch app? Cause that's pretty ridiculous if so

twitch is dead
hello youtube!

 

[manzo]

No external drive support. No 16 player party chat support. Useless.

 

[baconcow]

Folders? Come on, they're basic!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Is there still no dedicated Twitch app? Cause that's pretty ridiculous if so

Assumption is that ms paid for exclusivity. Like ESPN and Netflix and HBO years back. That or they want you to be watching ps4 related content.

 

[pswii60]

Still no folders?

Surely I can't be the only one with 60+ games.

 

[Nerix]

PNG captures pleasee.

This. Is there an official way to send suggestions to Sony, or just the Playstation forums...

 

[Spukc]

The endlessly looping 'discover - power options' notification is an amazing feature.

haha nice one i will wait a little longer then

 

[Symphonia]

ok, I didn't sit there with a watch, but yes, the store takes a very long time to load. no it is not my internet.

I think it is your internet. My store has never taken that long to load.

 

[GreyOcelot]

Really, really hope that's not a complete list of new features

 

[Andrefpvs]

Here you go guys. I passed it through every language on google translate to make sure we didn't miss anything. I highlighted the important parts.

I'm getting flashbacks to Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal

 

[Artex]

No in-game XMB? Wait, what year is it?

 

[kruis]

What a bullshit update ...

 

[Summer Haze]

I just want PNG support.
