Support NeoGAF

[The Interrobanger]

Is there an official Blu Ray remote coming anytime soon? Or an update so I can use my old official PS3 one?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Well, that certainly is a crappy update.

 

[KalBalboa]

Some of the posts in this thread... you'd think they were downgrading the console or something.

 

[iamjohn]

out tonight or tomorrow?

Sounds like tonight for U.S. and tomorrow for EU. That's how I'm reading things.

Is the pulse headset worth it?

If you're picky about comfort I'd might tell you to wait till that new set is released and try them instead.

 

[BadHand]

I'm actually excited for stability.

 

[Hidden One]

What about my damn tritton headset support!?

 

[Carl]

Richard Ho has replied to a few questions on the PS Blog, maybe they should be added to OP.

Sorry, been at work. Added

 

[Oppo]

When a trophy pops up is there a button I can push that goes straight to that trophy and tells me what it was?

I found a hacky way to do this. If you navigate to the trophy list while in-game, you can then double-tap PS button to toggle between the trophy list and game again.

 

[Hoje0308]

No sign of CD or MP3 support?

This and the inability to properly manage downloads are confusing me. My PS3 can do these things, why not its successor?

Spoiler

Hasn't stopped me from sinking 140 hours into Shadow Fall.

 

[VanWinkle]

Man. Really disappointing update, thinking more about it. I was really hoping this would be a bigger one.

Bingo. Usually come out at around 4am in the UK, which is still the previous day for US.

I don't have the camera or the headset. So for my PS4, I am looking forward to the vague "general stability improvements".

Grace Chen Time?

Why would you dedicate an entire button on a control scheme just to do that? You can't make it context sensitive either, imagine you're half way through beating a boss when a trophy pops and the button you use to cast a spell suddenly takes you to the trophy screen.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

You've got my vote.

Same here.

 

[omonimo]

Wait to see if hdmi finally will work on my 2 tv monitor. lol ps3 slimmer has never supported both, I'm so invisible for sony

 

[RedAssedApe]

contextual i'm assuming. i think xbone ui might do something like this?

i forget...in the ps4 dmb...if you go look under notifications and there is a trophy notification does it take you directly there?

 

[alr1ght]

Can I finally use a headset (voice) + headphones? I want the voices coming out of my headphones while still having a mic plugged in, without the need to put the earpiece in.

PS button?

 

[Arnie]

After the update will this headset be usable on PS4?

 

[boredandlazy]

PS button?

That would make a bit more sense. Still, that would very much be a 'nice to have' rather than something to complain about.

I don't know if you've ever played anything on an Xbox 360 but it had an elegant solution. If you pressed the guide button as soon as an achievement popped up, it would take you straight to that achievement with a description and how many points it was. If you pressed the guide button any other time, it would bring up the 360 guide.

I don't see any reason they couldn't do the same thing with the PS button.

I found a hacky way to do this. If you navigate to the trophy list while in-game, you can then double-tap PS button to toggle between the trophy list and game again.

That's clever, but don't you still have to hunt for the trophy? Or do the most recent ones pop to the top or something?

That would make a bit more sense. Still, that would very much be a 'nice to have' rather than something to complain about.

I didn't realize I was complaining, I was just asking a question. Jeez louise!

 

[Pimpwerx]

For the trophies thing, that should actually be a general function to snap to notification. Whatever new notification comes in, tapping the PS button should take you to it. PEACE.

 

[schwabdizzle]

The mute Camera will be nice. I am hoping there is an option to mute by default then playing video services or Blurays. I was watching Captain Phillips Saturday night and it must of prompted 3-4 times during the movie. I am thinking to myself "it didn't say Playstation."

I really want back ground color change too. I want a green background instead of blue.

 

[NullPointer]

Basically the PS4 needs to copy everything the 360 did right. In the case of system messages you could always hit the Xbox button to get more information about the latest notification. That's really how it should be, and for all notifications, not just trophies.

The 360 also handled music playback well - including streaming from a PC while playing games (except for no FF or Rewind).

Last bit, on the Xbox you could mark yourself as "offline". Until the PS4 notification system gets an overhaul I'd like to have that option at least. Man, notifications need a LOT of work.

That said, this update is a good thing for those who have waited all this time for headset support that was expected at launch. So that's positive.

 

[UpsideDownAce]

Your most recent trophy should be in the notification section

 

[DR2K]

Will it fix the Netflix freezing?

 

[SpokkX]

So wait..

With the new Pulse Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0

I will need to use an usb adapter on ps4?!!?

No? Cant be right??

 

[RedAssedApe]

Yes. There is that usb-sized wireless stick you need to plug in.

 

[UpsideDownAce]

No? Cant be right??

Yes the included usb adapter is required

Notifications and the guide button to respond features for both consoles absolutely sucks right now. It's like MS forgot why their strongest supporters last gen liked the UI and Sony just up and forget why their UI was so annoying.

I have noticed that pressing the guide button after you get a party invite will actually take you directly there. So obviously they understand how it's supposed to work. Why all messages and notifications don't work like that is infuriating.

 

[SpokkX]

And this plugged into the front of the ps4? Making the console "deeper"?

I can just about fit the ps4 right now behind my doors in my bench...

That's correct.

 

[Rewrite]

Yay, I can't wait to finally use my headset again! It should have been a launch thing, but whatever. Finally!

 

[Cess007]

Yep, i'm excited to finally use my headset while playing Battlefield 4. All that beautiful sound chaos right in my hears!

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

No DLNA server support in this updates makes me sad.

 

[RedRooster]

I would be cool if it was super small(like almost as small as a wireless mouse receiver), and not even extend out.

 

[Amir0x]

FUCK YES @ Pulse Support finally

 

[-griffy-]

Apparently the dongle for the new Gold headset is smaller, though I don't know in what capacity it is smaller.

 

[mugoldeneagle03]

I love my 5.1 system and BF4 on loud at all times, but my roomate/neighbors sure as hell don't. They thank Sony for finally releasing this update.

 

[vakarian32]

What about pausing downloads?

Such a silly thing to miss out.

Yep still waiting for that one too, these huge DCUO updates are a killer.

After the update will this headset be usable on PS4?

Would like to know this too, forgot I had one of those lying around.

 

[RedAssedApe]

So far they haven't announced support for any bluetooth headsets... :\

 

[Knoxcore]

- About me should allow for more characters
- Youtube app

- messages should be like PS3 (where the notification shows the message or a part of it)
- Videos should be editable without having to share it (to save space)
- Option to show friend LOGIN notification and option to display just real-life friend logins
- viewing a Profile the left side menu options: activity, trophies, about me (Dont do anything, they should go into the designated area when pressed)

Yay? This is going to take a while

If that's all this update contains then it will be a long road to perfection.

 

[mrklaw]

It was never likely this soon after launch. Especially DLNA which seems not to have been on their list until PS4 owners had a bit of a rant.

 

[Ellite25]

So is the Pulse Elite headset going to have more features than this new headset? So better to go with the Pulse Elite?

 

[Wotanik]

Well, that certainly is a crappy update.

The real update is coming with Japan launch.

 

[PrintedCrayon]

Is anyone in the UK even offering the Wireless Headset 2.0 for preorder yet? I've been waiting on those things for an age!

Still, slow and steady Sony. At this rate we should have 3D Blu-Ray support by the time the PS5 rolls around. Maybe even MP3/CD support!

 

[Quadratic]

With the new patch. Has anyone encountered less crashing while using Crunchyroll or the Netflix apps? Sometimes they would just freeze up and I would need to do a hard system reboot to get things working again.

Those instances would occur if I was streaming for a few hours. Then the app would become really sluggish then unresponsive.
