Tbh I don't miss that one bit.
You can already turn off notifications for trophies, so it'd be nonsensical to re-add an intrusive feature like that without the option to turn it off.

Nobunaga needs to be reserved for the best of the best! The update to kill all other updates. There's no going back from that.
Unless 3.5 was Samonosuke =P
Japan is celebrating the 400th anniversary of the end of the Siege of Osaka, and Sanada Yukimura is well known as one of the heroic generals on the losing side in that battle. He's been in the news a lot recently so probably someone at Sony wanted to make the connection to the anniversary.
I don't have a wattmeter so I can't get a precise measurement but I do have a UPS that has a Master port (measures power consumption and will turn on/off 2 control ports when a threshold is reached) that I typically have my TV plugged into (so I don't have to turn off my speakers separately)
I decided to use that to get a ballpark measurement of the energy draw with the added load of keeping a game running in a lower powered state
My findings are as follows:
*The PS4 does a bit of syncing/uploading/processing/downloading/installing of any queued up task before actually entering the "true" Rest Mode
Again these measurements are based on my UPS measuring the outlets power consumption and toggling power to the controlled ports as I changed the threshold of power consumption to find a approximation on power usage.
Basing my initial findings, it seems the added suspended load adds a few watts compared to the original behavior of Rest Mode

- Full Rest Mode - 14-17W

I like this. I hope the screenshot is saved on their servers as well.
That is pretty sleek looking. Sure we'll get a good amount of trophies that are screenshots of menus or of the ground or something, but it's still pretty cool.
Plex has a generic "DLNA Server" option that allows for various non-Plex apps and clients that support "DLNA" in general to see the contents. Browsing this way looks like a folder browser, only the folders themselves are created based off Plex's scraped interpretation of your library.
So while Plex apps themselves will always have the fancy interface, other apps that can access Plex stuff only have the folder interface, so I don't think it is too much to ask to get a simple 1:1 interface from Plex's side. Sounds like using "Home Movies" as the library type is the solution.

Should take a picture of the player if you have a camera plugged in.
Can't wait for the trophy unlocks from Senran Kagura!
Damn you. You just added a wanted feature to the list.
But nothing compared to last gen. GTA5 on PS3 was really annoying or Skyrim for example. On PS4 I found the load times much quicker. Under a minute from start to play in SP for me. I wouldn't call that horrible

Best part of the update for me.
Uploading a clip and only being able to hear your own voice on it sucks. Everyone needs to allow this!

Oh man nice.
It's annoying to have to change that every time you join a new party or start streaming again, always allow is welcome
Edit: Btw That feature is already there, it just resets to do not allow when you leave a party

Currently you can only hear your voice in your own recordings and the voices of your friends will be muted (and vice versa). This changes that.

Nope. There's no exact date just yet, but I think April tops.
In Madden on PS4 it can take upwards of 2 minutes to get from UI into a game. If I can cut out 1:45 of that, I'm happy.
It's in the "accessibility" section so it's in the OS. It will be cross-game, universal.

The question I was answering was about why Sony wasn't rolling out more support for bluetooth headsets or for that matter, newer BT standards. Hence why I linked to that article about the patent troll as one possible reason.

What.. is this so your party voices can be heard in the recorded videos?Best part of the update for me.

PS store on the row section? Why? It was fine at the top left. Will it fall into your library if you don't use it?
No, it's pinned.
Ugh. Japan really has no idea what to do with UI and software. Like they just add and move things just because. The store icon was fine at the top.
That's one thing i always fear with updates. That something is going to be screwed up.

They wouldn't even need to design anything if they would just offer the option to customize that stuff.

Well, currently you can hear everyone's voices in streams and broadcasts, though I haven't tested local video recordings that you capture with share button.
How do you figure they fixed that from the screenshot? The wording is still the same as it is on the current firmware "your voice will be included in other players broadcasts and video clips"
Backup is not confirmed in this update... we had a screen leaked, but this is a quote from the PS blog:

Yes! Before, you would have to start livestreaming for the option to appear. I have been wanting this feature for so long!

So we have an ETA on this, or just the usual Soony?
No eta. It just went into beta so a couple weeks at least.

Right now the option is greyed out unless you're streaming and will only appear clickable once the twitch app is running. It sucks.
