Inverted colors is neat on the menu ,however I am not going to play my games inverted lol
It would've been nice to switch to normal once you start an app/game

Just tried resuming GTA V using a disc copy and the stock HDD and it took 10 seconds from me pressing the PS button to returning to the game, with having to log into my account during the process.
Very good.

it seems that suspend /resume works better with digital games than those that need a disc ( from what i've tried) , but regardless it works , and it's quite fast and that's what i wanted.
Not a fan of the playstation store on the main menu , but at least it'zs not an annoying singstar app.

Just like with USB charging enabled, it will have that power consumption regardless of if it is necessary or not.
What behavior are you seeing with digital vs. disc based?
I just tried a few different games and they all seem to work the same.
I'm talking purely PS4 system level wise. The various games handle losing network connectivity differently.

So any console-breaking problems yet? Sony always seem to have major issues with their major X.X0 releases.
Yep. But this time the update was already in beta testing.

30fps games also enjoy lower input lag.

Holy shit 7 hours?! How much data are you saving mine is about 400GB filled at the moment. I could delete old disc installs I guess.... would this also delete patch data though?
7 HOURS!?
*edit*
I am using a USB 3.0 external HD though.... so maybe a bit faster I would hope...

Anyone have a link to download the update onto a usb? I have a new hard drive coming in today and need to do a fresh install
They will still appear on PS3 and Vita.
We better be able to do this.
I saw some people doing a trick with a 2TB drive. Is that just for the extra space, or is it faster with the RPMs over 5400?
What drive did you get? I am trying to decide on which I should get!

thank you! Hopefully the new sshd drive cuts down on Bloodborne load times
Same one you linked. My friend bought that drive for his ps4 in november and has had no problems, he was getting 15-20 second load times max with bloodborne where as i was getting 30-45 on the long ones. Decided to go with his suggestion, and $77 for 1tb is pretty damn good deal

I've got a feeling they won't, but I'll report back in a sec. Trophy sync is up to 83%.

Great update so far. I think my personal standout, as small as it is, is the fact that there is a separate option to restart your system. No more turning off then turning back on just to restart the system when the PS store starts acting up. That's my biggest take away.
Also, maybe it's me but was Playstation Now always a permanent tile?

Source: I've been on the beta and already tried it out.
Also, the new PS Store icon matches the new Playstation Video icon. One of the reasons they've moved must be to do with matching branding.

More bullshit apps to clutter up the PS4 UI. That's exactly what I fucking needed. Thanks, Sony. Can't believe they moved the store off of the top menu so that it can clutter up the main line. Whose bright idea was that shit?
All that said, application suspend seems to work fine so it's really nice to finally have that. Incredibly convenient.

Just tried Resogun in remote play on direct connection and it held up very well, though I sucked from having not played for so long. Some minor stutters but those might be ironed out for people with better wifi setups.

More visibility for their store? That was actually a bright idea.

Making their terrible UI even worse. Yeah, brilliant.

Can you still use your ps4 while it is creating an external back-up?
Also, installing a new hdd using this method requires two new hdd's? One you do the back-up to, and one you then swop into the PS4. Just want to make sure I have everything on hand to do this properly.

Its the SSD cache it has, it stores the most frequently accessed files in there so some bloodborne files would get moved in to it for example with it having to loading the same place after each death.
Also I think the bigger the drive the faster it is (1TB 5400RPM will be faster than 500GB 5400RPM drive).
It's permanent? I thought it was just an app
I think it's better there. D-Pad up is the only shit I'm interested in.
So is the SSHD a better choice (I know that is relative) than the faster 2TB, or the one that is from the external casing (removed) and put into the PS4?
It made 0 sense to me to have the store in the settings area in the first place. This is a lot better.
The iOS and Android PlayStation App was also updated. Changelog:
- [Accessibility] has been added to [Settings].
- TalkBack for Android is now supported.
- You can now delete trophies with 0% achievement progress.
- [Earned Date], [Not Earned], and [Grade] have been added as sorting options for trophies.
- You can now sort content in [Live from PlayStation].
- [Privacy Settings] has been added to [Profile].

Licorice-flavoured booze?
Having the store icon moved is a pain in the ass, it doesn't even take advantage of showing new content under it.
I think the "What's New" icon and the "Store" icon should be combined into one, it makes sense as games people have been playing have a link to the store anyway.

I suppose it would depend on the circumstances.
If your loading a game for the first time then the 2TB would probably be faster because none of the files would have been moved to the cache.
However if your playing the same game most of the time then more of the files would get moved to the cache which would result in faster loading times.
