Sony: Next (major) PS4 Firmware Update is Not Too Far Out"
- Thread starter Vashetti
- Start date
No I meant don't waste anything on none gaming features. I want as much of cpu reserves to go to devs as possible.
Are they though? Phil Spencer himself said it won't effect xbox one as much a while back

It releases right alongside The Last Guardian.

maybe this is line up with gdc
I keep seeing a ton of requests for DLNA, but no mentions Plex. I get that not everyone wants it bad enough to pay for the beta subscription, but at some point I start to suspect there's a lot of people that don't know about it.

I just want the option to hide various icons, especially those video streaming services i will never use.
Yeah and then folders or atleast the option to rearrange the game icons. And friend notifications.
Otherwise i'm pretty ok with the UI/OS. Couldn't care less about DLNA or suspend and resume.

trophy sync.. is this really a big deal, I think not. it's way better than it was on PS3, who cares if it's up to the minute. i agree with the rest.
Also 4k will be added for playback, I'm certain; they can flash update existing units for that.
If I had one not-often-mentioned wish, I'd simply want the Library on the left, instead of the right side. That would be a small change that would feel like a big difference, IMO.
It's still 720p30 if you copy the video directly from the HDD, so I guess you're wrong.
It is true that devs have to make use of the API for games to have improvements. The problem is that people think that when they release DX12, that games are automatically coded for it and you get a better performing game for free. It's going to take time for DX12 to show it's "power" on XBO.
Yes. But we have 3 max leveled characters in Destiny and I don't blame him for not wanting to go through that again.
I just want to pop on and play alone or with my friends.
You can do it on ps3 and also on Xbox live. It would be great.
I've heard of Plex - infact, I was tweeting them just last night - but I refuse to pay to stream my own content.

Harmony Remote support or GTFO.

Of course but who doesn't?
The moment that Sony kills off those features to make a pure gaming machine is the day the PS4 dies. There is a reason these consoles don't exist as pure gaming machines. They are used a lot for streaming video and the like. Hell, one of the main reasons that PS2 became so dominant was because it was one of the first cheap DVD players.
Both MS and Sony want to make as much of the memory and CPU available as they can, but they aren't stupid. The moment you make the full reserve available is the moment you kill future opportunities.
There is a reason that you aren't running one of these divisions.

I really wish, as everyone else here it seems, that they added folders. I don't like how the games I have not played in a while "disappear". I wish they were more accessible.
While I agree with you, I don't know how useful they would be due to the current sizes of the games and the available HDD sizes.
On my PS3, I have hundreds of games installed on my 500GB HDD; PS1, PS Minis, PSN games, and digital retail games. Folders are pretty much a requirement for being able to find anything.
I've already maxed out my PS4's 500GB with a few AAA digital downloads and some smaller indy titles and PS+ stuff. I've probably got less than 30 games installed on the PS4 and I'm already having to dance around uninstalling games when I want to put something new on there.
Sure the PS3 is nearly maxed out as well but that's with probably an order of magnitude more games than what I've been able to fit on the PS4.
I would be willing to wait on folder support for some of the other things that have already been listed in this thread:
- suspend/resume
- better media support (DLNA, MP3 from the drive, etc.)
- avatars
- other cool stuff we don't know about yet

Apart from everything said, I hope remote play improves a bit.
This. Just give us a fucking bluetooth stack that can turn the power on and control the media/blu-ray apps.

I only want;
1. DLNA
2. 1080p Streaming (high bitrate)
3. 1080p PNG screenshots
4. 1080p Video capture (high bitrate)
Anything else is gravy to be honest.
Ohhh... Allow me to delete betas and demos from my library and give me a more comprehensive sort/search option for my library across PS4/PS3/VITA.

Probably still months away then
Not too far out = months
Soon = weeks
Very soon = days
Accurate.
I'll be surprised if this hits before April.

Suspend/resume is the only feature I can think of that I need and don't have.

Being vague about what's upcoming just raises expectations.
Just go ahead and plunge the stake into the heart of Suspend/Resume and let everyone stop hoping.

Same here. It works fine for my friends but for me it has to be the worst messaging system in existance. A friend of mine send me two pictures, which took around 24 hours for me to receive. If I'm lucky they will take around 30 minutes.
I don't care about what fancy features they'll add next, just give me a working messaging system.

I swear to God it better have HDD back-up or I'm gonna kill 68 kittens.
It's a difficult thing to get right, just ask Microsoft.

There needs to be a list of friends that you can see when they come online. Just have a menu where you can put checkmarks beside their name, not unlike how you delete multiple captures now. Anyone not in that group won't display they've joined a party.

People asking for DLNA I assume it's for watching movies?
Does your TV's not have USB ports in the back/side?

That's not the point.
PS3 could be a games and media machine without having to switch TV inputs or buy additional hardware. There's no reason PS4 can't be brought to do the same.
well, it will become free when it's... 'done'.

I do wonder sometimes if there's an unforeseen technical reason it'll never happen.
Theoretically it's a matter of keeping everything in RAM while the system is in Rest mode, right? Or would it write the contents of the RAM to the hard drive (like a Windows machine going into Hibernation mode)? I would think that would be too slow.
1.70 hit last year on April 30th, and was then followed by 2.0 on October 28th.
Those are the two large OS updates we got in 2014.
If we get around the same dates in 2015, I guess we're on a 2x a year update program (for susbtantive content).
The Blu Ray 3D update (July 29th, part of 1.75) seemed to be either "reactive" (done at the same time the 3D update was expected for XB1) ahead of 2.0, or perhaps late if it was supposed to be in 1.70. No actual data to back this up though, just a "feeling"
