New updates are awesome...

A couple more things I believe will improve things.

1. Folders to organize your games, apps, etc.

2. The ability to turn on your TV, your surround sound system, and your PS4 (from rest mode) all at the same time by clicking the "PS" button on your Dualshock 4.

 

[Jack Scofield]

I would really love more theme color options. There's not even a green. Or have one like the PS3, which changed colors depending on the day/time of year. I want to be surprised each time I turn on the console.

My tv already comes on from the ps button but surround sound would be nice.

Voting, you X a choice in a ballot box.

Uh. Well, that's nothing like any ballot I've ever seen. Since ballots are read electronically they use bubbles that need to be filled completely, like an exam, since they are read and counted by the same technology.

I've never seen a ballot that didn't use bubble-filling.

good job sony

How? Is that something in the PS4 settings?

 

[Patapwn]

Have stability jokes been made yet?

 

[USC-fan]

Great way to troll people. Switch the buttons and dont tell them.

 

[mazpratim]

This is amazing

Oh no, not this! I always seem to end up with a fooking ugly ass brown or some washed out pink when I turn my PS3 on rather than the actual background colour I had chosen, so no none of this random nonsense for me!

 

[3rdamention]

Almost. 76.4 according to maths.

Lol, excellent. I was trying to figure it out considering you whipped that up in 6 minutes. Thanks again brother.

 

[televator]

Wait... Are you telling me that in games that don't have an inverted look option, I can just... Remap the stick?

Is Beyond Good & Evil on PS4 in some form? PS Now?

 

[ZeroX03]

This is great. Makes up for devs who don't add the ability to switch aim and fire to L1 and R1. Never shooting with R2 ever again!

 

[antibolo]

You guys saying "I'll swap X and O so I can have Japanese style confirm/cancel" do realize that it will swap all behavior of these buttons, not just which one is confirm and which one is cancel, right? That's probably not something you'll want in most games.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

In the settings it's something to do with HDMI I forget what it's called though. I'll look when I get home.

 

[Bishop89]

Never got the big deal. Devs usually map the right buttons anyways. Cool for those that care in guess

 

[Stallion Dan]

Remote play on Vita needs button remapping so badly.

So many shooter games that use L2/R2 to ADS and shoot, then you remote play and it is set to (what i assume is) default layout with L2/R2 being the touchscreen. Unplayable.

 

[The_Dama]

There have only been a small number of game where I wish I had the option to do this. Maybe 2 or 3. The default controls usually work for each game. Good feature.

thats my argument the jump button etc would be circle now thats weird

 

[Paz]

You likely have a very typical set of physical attributes that are games commonly assume their player base has, remapping is for people with different physical attributes or distinct preferences, for someone with muscle issues in their hands it can be a game changer to use a face button instead of a trigger for the action they are constantly performing.

I really want to know what the implications of 60fps shareplay will be on video capture and remote play.

 

[WordsintheWater]

I probably won't use it, but very cool for those who are left handed and those who will use it for other reasons.

 

[antibolo]

Yeah, exactly. Those people haven't thought it through.

I've never seen a ballot that didn't use bubble-filling.

Well, I've never seen a bubble filling ballot. Tests in school? Yeah. An official election ballot? Not even once. I've seen punch cards, complete the arrow, and X the box. I certainly can't claim what is or is not universal, and I claim no expertise in ballot design.

I do believe however that X is among the most prolific and frequently occurring symbols in the world. It can mean negative or affirmative or something completely unrelated like variable or multiplication.

But can't we argue over something more meaningful? Like how it's properly pronounced ecks and calling it cross is akin to child murder?

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Yes, it's Suspend/Resume functionality.

Thanks. I figured as much but didn't want to get my hopes up only to have them crushed. I don't even know for sure that I'll regularly use the feature, it's just the point that it was announced as a feature over 2 years ago so I'm glad it's finally (apparently) coming.

 

[Yoday]

How? Is that something in the PS4 settings?

HDMI Device Link in the system settings. It basically turns on HDMI CEC. You will need the appropriate options enabled on your TV and sirround receiver as well.

 

[On Demand]

I hope people don't get too excited for this. Has anyone with th beta confirmed this remapping functionality works as people are hoping it does?

Is Bloodborne really a PS4 exclusive?

 

[ZeroX03]

Vita's Wi-Fi is pretty awful. I'm not sure it'll be getting 60fps remote play.

 

[Tele_Viper]

I might give Rayman Legends another shot if I can re-map it to Super Mario run/jump controls.

 

[kpaadet]

I don't see anything about Spotify in those firmware notes, is that coming before that update?

 

[Ambition]

I don't see anything about Spotify in those firmware notes, is that coming before that update?

I sure hope so

 

[DryEyeRelief]

So 'x marks the spot' actually means, don't look here?

It might not be as universal as you think.

When a question is answered wrong on a test, you draw an X with red ink.

 

[pharmboy044]

Is Bloodborne really a PS4 exclusive?

 

[Portugeezer]

If true... that is some next gen shit

Hopefully there is a way to carry it over to Vita remote play too.

 

[SolidSnakex]

They probably already have hooks for Spotify built into a firmware update. It'll likely launch just like HBO Go did this week. Out of nowhere.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

This rumour pleases me.

 

[koutoru]

I'm hoping the incoming firmware update for Vita will allow for remote play button mapping, not just PS4 button mapping.
I can't believe devs still assign L2 and R2 to the rear touch pad. Nothing, should be assigned there in remote play.

 

[Unaha-Closp]

what I really want on PS4 is a global setting (like the 360 has and I assume the Xbox One has?) for inverted Y axis so I don't have to go into options in almost every single game before I start a new game to make sure the Y is inverted. Its a first world problem I know but I would really appreciate it.

 

[RdN]

That's pretty awesome.

Well, due to limitations some things have to be, but I would make sure it's stuff that really doesn't matter to however I play a certain game.

 

[sol_bad]

This is an absolute godsend for me!!!
I have always wanted fully customizable buttons for consoles being a one handed gamer. Many default control schemes have had me use my control pad in many awkward positions and this will make things easier.

 

[Vincent4756]

Really wish I could beta test the fw. Really excited to see how stable suspend/resume is. Anybody have any screens of the new trophy stuff? Also would this mean that remote play would use the swapped controls and such?

 

[Radec]

Megaton.

 

[Natureboy99]

Been waiting for this for years. Bravo

It is here it is revealed we are actually in the same side after all.

*firm handshake*

Running the risk of off topic, don't we already have a date for Spotify?

 

[balohna]

I wonder if devs will be able to make call outs dynamic based on your system control settings.

 

[lukeskymac]

So I will be able to keep R2 for shooting but go with L1 for ADS?

Yussss

 

[fertygo]

I want ability to mapping left analog to right analog :/

Its always my my dream since I'm just one-handed, always love using that feature on emulator.

Not gonna happen I guess.

Huh? You mean switching sticks?

Because you can.......

You mean I can map right stick for movement?

Don't do this to me bro, I can't if this just lie

 

[kittenbreath]

thats my argument the jump button etc would be circle now thats weird

It's not weird for people who play Nintendo systems! I know that when I've been playing my Wii U for extended periods it can take a bit to adjust back to a "Western" setup.

 

[Tidus_Great]

ps4 is the best console ever. once it gets games it will be unstoppable.
