Support NeoGAF

[Vashetti]

Downloading now, no idea what it does

 

[OnionPowder]

Preparing for stability and nothing major.

 

[RealityPales]

Probably nothing.

When the PS3 had firmware updates all the time, people complained.

The PS4 NEVER has worthwhile firmware updates, and now I'm complaining.

Can't please everyone, I suppose!

 

[NIN90]

clock fix?

 

[DeviantBoi]

Adds stability, probably.

 

[btkadams]

it's obviously custom soundtracks stability.

 

[dallow_bg]

Just a stability fix.

I do hope a major release is coming soon.

 

[ahm998]

+ Size more than 300mb?
+ System stability

 

[Raist]

VR support. Believe.

Spoiler

MOAR STABILITY

 

[~~Hasan~~]

imagine if its a stability fix lol.

i will be laughing hard if its, MS is rolling good updates and we are getting stability fixs lol

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Removes the Battlefield lag.

 

[Bowler]

It's stabilizing the stability

 

[kinoki]

Hopefully it'll fix the printer settings. Finally I can hook it up to my printer!

 

[BlackCloud7]

“Operation quality during use of some PlayStation 4 software has been improved.”

Yeah it's offcial, the big update(with custom music in game and streaming from pc videos and all that shit) will probably come at E3 so they showcase it off.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I read it was a stability fix. I'd suspect as much from a point release. We'll probably have to wait until 2.0+ to get any major new features.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

imagine if its a stability fix lol.

i will be laughing hard if its, MS is rolling good updates and we are getting stability fixs lol

Anything of note that MS rolled out so far?

 

[RedNumberFive]

Come on printer support...

Seriously though, all I want is support for the PS3 Harmony adapter.

 

[~~Hasan~~]

It does......

Yeah it's offcial, the big update(with custom music in game and streaming from pc videos and all that shit) will probably come at E3 so they showcase it off.

thats what i believe too. they will be like " today, you can download our new update that has the resume function etc.. "

[Vashetti]

I am getting more and more frustrated with Sony regarding firmware.

Fairplay to MS, their updates come monthly, they tell their customers in advance and even let them beta test them.

 

[~~Hasan~~]

Anything of note that MS rolled out so far?

yeah they are improving their services ( friends notification, party chat ) etc.

 

[The Llama]

Oh man I had forgotten they had even promised suspend/resume function. Now you just made me excited again for it. Really can't wait for the big (2.0?) update.

 

[NekoFever]

Removes the Battlefield lag.

Sony is concentrating on the easy jobs like DLNA support and PS3 backwards compatibility first.

 

[EktorPR]

Really hoping the one with friend notifications, background customization and download queue management comes our way soon.

Their next update

What to expect in this update preview

For those of you that participated in last month’s (1403) update preview, this preview wave will be a little different:

The 1404 update preview will run a bit longer than the 1403 preview. As a result, not all of the features listed below will be available in the first 1404 update. Some features will be enabled in 1404 updates that are rolled out later in the preview.

Some of the features listed below will be enabled outside of a console update. Keep an eye on the forums for announcements and information on when new features are made available.

What’s new in this release?

• Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.
• Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This actually was one of the most frequently requested features from the first preview wave and we made it a priority to include it in the April update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list. We’ll also add the ability to view friends’ most popular apps.
• Blu-ray 50 Hz video output support for content recorded at 50 Hz will resolve video playback issues some Xbox Live members in Europe are experiencing.
• Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to fine tune the quality and reliability of Xbox One commands.
• Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.
• Updates to Xbox One device management to address issues controlling TVs, set top boxes, and receivers that our customers have reported.
• New audio settings to tune how much volume is lowered when Kinect is used in communications.

[dreamer3kx]

Dat stable.

 

[teiresias]

It's about time to start bombarding @yosp about the lack of feature updates. This crap is ridiculous.

Anyone want to start a betting pool on whether we'll see feature updates or Driveclub first?

 

[Cheech]

I am getting more and more frustrated with Sony regarding firmware.

Fairplay to MS, their updates come monthly, they tell their customers in advance and even let them beta test them.

To be fair though, the Xbone's OS needed a LOT more work at launch, so I'd expect more frequent and more meaningful updates. IDK if you used a launch Xbone, but it was horrific. PS4 was far, far smoother.

 

[bombshell]

yeah they are improving their services ( friends notification, party chat ) etc.

That's not what I would call noteworthy new features, that's just optimizations of things which should have been like that at launch. Same with Twitch, should have been there at launch.

 

[CorrisD]

Part of me hopes improving operation quality means fixing the share button so it records stuff properly, or you know, fixes anything worth noting.

 

[Andrefpvs]

After all this time, a 0.01 update. I know they're working on stuff, but this is slightly worrying.

 

[~~Hasan~~]

say that to Sony, where is our "optimizations" that we were promised since Launch ?

 

[ScribbleD]

Still no HDCP patch? Wtf?

 

[zackmorris]

Fairplay to MS, their updates come monthly, they tell their customers in advance and even let them beta test them.

Yeah but that's because it launched with a ton of missing or faulty features. I feel like if people started complaining to Sony those updates would come quicker. They did have the one update to add Pulse support

 

[RedRooster]

It seems to me that Sony either doesn't care as much or don't have as many people/skills to work on constant firmware updates as MS.
I will definitely give MS credit, they're trying their balls off to get the XB1 on par with 360 firmware as quick as they can.
This is another disappointment for a PS4 owner. Not crushing obviously, it's still a stellar system as is, but the constant trickle would be nice.

 

[Brianimaniac]

Probably nothing.

The PS4 NEVER has worthwhile firmware updates, and now I'm complaining.

Can't please everyone, I suppose!

I would be complaining if I was turning the system on to play a game and it interrupted me, but there isn't anything to play, so I'm just turning it on specifically to get firmware when I hear there's a new version.

It's my Blu-rayStation 4.

 

[Oni Jazar]

These firmware updates are shameful and one area where Microsoft is kicking Sony's ass.

Still waiting on that "suspend" feature announced over 12 months ago..

 

[Daffy Duck]

LOL, ignore me.

 

[MercuryLS]

Sony had always sucked at getting os improvements out in a timely manner. Looks like that hadn't changed.

 

[zackmorris]

Isn't the bluray playback poor?

 

[hodgy100]

OH MAN STABILITY!

 

[Dead Prince]

yall should know by now how their update numbers go.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

 

[Brianimaniac]

Isn't the bluray playback poor?

I've heard that, but I haven't had any trouble with any of the discs I've tried. Maybe I've been lucky.

 

[ron_bato]

Removes the Battlefield lag.

I know you were just kidding, but I'm playing BF 4 Conquest right now and I swear, the rubber banding is the worst it has ever been for me.

Anyway, yeah, I can't say I've noticed anything pretty significant with this new update.

 

[quickwhips]

PS4 in Standby means it should have downloaded when I get home correct?

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Their next update

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=104795418&postcount=1

That list is a glorified "bug and stability fixes" list for the most part. There is no real functionality being added.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

It's only been 4 months give it a rest, harassing Shu on twitter wont make things go any faster, he is head of WWS not the Firmware team.

 

[SolidusDave]

4+ months of fucking nothing

 

[family_guy]

I've heard that, but I haven't had any trouble with any of the discs I've tried. Maybe I've been lucky.

Doesn't play 3D bluray.PS3 does.
