PS4 1.70 patch notes
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
It's not a weak update just cause it doesn't necessarily have what you want.
Also as far as the patch fix I'm not even sure it'd be announced if it was in here. As it's more of a dev feature along the lines of freeing up more RAM from the OS on the PS3 that was never officially announced then a consumer feature.

They should just release it in a broken state. That would be better.
And if that's your reason for buying the console, you probably should have waited.
I think you bought and paid for a console, the PS4.
So we shouldn't get what we paid for? What cho' talking about willis?

Or they could just have it ready to go as promised over a year ago. That's always another option.
Please provide some examples with sources to back up your claims.

You paid for a 'gaming' console with the extra fruit to come
you knew what you were getting into, they were very upfront about suspend/resume not making it for launch, and they never gave a solid date for when it would come either
you paid for a PS4 and thats what you got

Sweet update! For the next one, I really want them to prioritize friend notifications and being able to mark friends as 'favorites'. I really want both of those features in place before the Destiny beta hits. Hmm, I wonder if Destiny will have an active roster like Reach had. That'd really help, regardless.
Yeah, I'd be very surprised if the patch size fix isn't in there. It's actually costing Sony money as it's preventing War Thunder from releasing in the U.S., and making a mess of DCUO updates on the system.
As for DLNA and mp3 support, I'd actually expect that to come in the form of an app. All the OS needs to do is provide is network support for the DLNA libraries and probably USB drive reading, which we know 1.7 has thanks to ShareFactory.
Perhaps you should write a strongly worded letter to Sony. Let them know just how disappointed you are.

Maybe Sony should use that as a slogan instead of "greatness awaits".
I don't see why people are getting on BruiserBear's case. Yeah, no date was stated for suspend/resume, so that makes it perfectly OK for it to be delayed how long exactly? I just want to know exactly what the defining line of reasonable is here.

Both mean basically the same thing.
Google probably prioritized the Xbox One app based on the media center push it had along with the fact PS4 would have a free browser that could access YouTube leanback without any issues whatsoever on day one, too.
it's certainly fine to be annoyed with it being delayed, but the whole "getting what we paid for" thing is a bit of a stretch
You're on a rampage, aren't ya.
Yeah I know its just frustrating when you were looking forward to something and you don't get what you were hoping for. With my up to 8 meg broadband speed its annoying.
Hey, man, you're not the only one. I feel the same way.
Imagine if this update would allow you to play PlayStation 3 discs with improvements in visual fidelity. I think I would faint. (Who wouldn't?) Now, *THAT* would be a (system-selling) update.

It will be interesting if the new dimming features for the blue light do nothing to extend battery life.
Or how about enabling the menu music that plays when Remote Play or second screen is active. It's much more subtle.

Preloading is a huge plus for Playstation when it comes to multiplats. Unlock the game at midnight(hopefully your local timezone) the day of release? Yes please!
It doesn't.

It's a decent update but I hope they are already working on suspend/resume at the absolute least. Isn't this a feature they talked about during the reveal over 14 months ago? Or maybe they didn't say anything about that until later but regardless they have to get that in.
And of course all the other basic features everyone is actually asking for.
I'm interested in the battery life difference between the light bar at high vs low settings. We had the "test" thread that showed it being quite a difference with it on vs off but I think Yosp said it made very little difference. Someone is wrong.

If this happens it is time to set my PS4 to EST.
Then I'll just gnash my teeth instead.
I'm sure they're IP filtering. That's how Steam does it.

What's draining the battery so quickly then?
It's funny because there is actually people that have said it is as easy as copying the PS3 code to PS4... I just don't even know what to say to those people.
What exactly did you pay for again?

It's only 1000mAh battery in DS4

He obviously went to the store and bought a suspend/resume otherwise the anger and outrage would make no sense.

A 400$ MP3 player didn't you know?
Only reason I got the Ps4 was because it said right there on the back, " suspend/resume your music while listening to your favorite MP3s! "
As I said I'm not angry just frustrated.
Sony uses the internal clock on the system, it's the same time for everyone (PST for the NA store).

Except that it isn't. Because logistics. If it was ready, we would have it.

As a software developer myself if I was to stand on stage a year ago and sell the world on a feature I sure as hell wouldn't begrudge customers wondering just where the fuck that feature was five and a half months after launch.
Yes, software development isn't easy, and it takes time, but setting the proper expectations isn't some kind of impossible black magic either.
Its reasonable to wonder when this feature will arrive or if we should expect a much longer wait.
Apologies if posted already.
Version 1.7 of the PS4 iPhone app is live on the App Store now. Well in the UK anyway.

Not every update (like not every PS+ month) will have what you, specifically, are hoping for. In NO WAY does that make the update bad or worthless. You, personally, may not find value in it, but there are others that will. No one can appease everyone all the time. This whole entitlement mindset is really aggravating. Personally, I'm waiting on the DLNA functionality and a YouTube app. But that's just me. And I fully appreciate that this update will fill the needs of other people. I'm fine with that. And you won't see me complaining at all about it. If there's nothing in this update for you, just be happy that Sony is doing updates that someone else will find useful. All the complaining about this kind of stuff is getting old.
