THIS IS 2012

Cool, it doesn't sync network wide trophies every time you check them out. Before, I could select local trophies without being bugged, but every time I would switch to the network wide trophies it would sync, even if I didn't leave the trophy app. Also, I had to redo all of my near settings. Even the unit selection was reset, haha.

There's a lot of stealth updates. Near Icons have been updated, the "general user" icons are smoother ^_^

Smoother as in anti-aliasing has been applied?

 

[dallow_bg]

Would have been a perfect night if they just updated PSX games the same way Japan and Europe did.

 

[whitehawk]

Is it just me or does the first screen in the party app seem different? I rarely use the app so I'm not sure.

 

[Iacobellis]

The Vita doesn't slow down when opening near anymore!

Yay!

Well, no... they're actually changed, bigger and rounded

Good on them. Near just doubled in usefulness, including the activity feed improvements.

Hey Gaf, how do you upload screenshots from Vita to Web? Imageshacks is banned, right? I tried imgur but it doesn't seems to allow me to upload images

Use the flickr app, or Twitter. If you really want you can transfer them over to your PC via Content Manager.

 

[Wario64]

New activations for PS Mobile

 

[kassatsu]

Private games in Near new?

 

[Takao]

Private games in Near new?

Just in case you don't want the world to know you imported a copy of Dream Club Zero Portable.

 

[Toki767]

Private games in Near new?

That plus when you're somewhere could be super useful together.

 

[whitehawk]

Under 'Network' in the settings, there is now a "Internet Connection Status" option.

You're right, thanks Takao

Nah, those are old. I have my social apps on private since day 1.

 

[kassatsu]

Private Zones too.

Oh really?

The way you edit Bubbles positions in the dashboard is now changed. Bubbles now don't change position automatically, they become transparent before you place them

 

[whitehawk]

Was there always traffic information in the maps app?

 

[Ran rp]

There still needs to be an automute update. The number of times I've accidently pulled my headphones out and music blasts through the speakers...

They should make 1 volume for speaker and another for headphones

 

[Ran rp]

This could work too.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Looks like some nice updates, downloading it now.

 

[Autofokus]

Was it always possible to pause/cancel downloads directly from the notification screen?

 

[kassatsu]

Was it always possible to pause/cancel downloads directly from the notification screen?

That is new and in the Japanese release notes.

 

[whitehawk]

Was it always possible to pause/cancel downloads directly from the notification screen?

Yes. Hopefully it's more responsive now, because it used to take like 10 seconds.

fake edit: Yup, it's a lot more responsive now. Awesome.

 

[KalBalboa]

Videos now automatically generate thumbnail images.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Oh man, you cant make music playlists on the vita itself?

 

[Sintoid]

Cool Live Area for Near now shows gifts and other stuff

By the way have you seen my travels?

Another stealth update: when you use the browser and you have to login (Example: flickr) you tap on the username and browser automatically zooms on the username/password area, cool!

 

[Autofokus]

That is new and in the Japanese release notes.

Ah, ok.
another (very small) thing: PSN avatars in the livearea are now "embossed".

 

[Proxy]

The Vita OS just feels more responsive now. Although, that may just be a placebo effect.

 

[TheMink]

I got my vita in new york then flew back home to nevada, i was pretty stoked that my vita remembered on near.

It says distance travled 2.4k miles

Going back to nyc soon, im looking forward to seeing that number multiply!


EDIT:

Also happened to notice that we can charge our vitas via usb now! thank god XD

 

[dc89]

So I've just updated the firmware but no PSOne games appear in the store on my Vita.
Can't download the games either from my download list.

Am I doing something wrong? :S

While it is on? You always have been able to if the Vita was turned off.

Near is definitely faster. PSN user icons pop up like rounds in a machine gun now.

Being able to map the L and R buttons to the right stick for psp titles is a godsend. There's no reason not to pick up Daxter and Vice City Stories now.

Fuck yes. Now I can finally play Daxter.
