[mreddie]

Dat stability-quality

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Literally in the OP.

I see. I didn't see them before. Well. It seems this update brought hidden features like every update. I wodner what are the otehr hidden features.

 

[Imbarkus]

Oh nice, backwards compatibility is included for PS1 and PS2 games. Cheers for that.

You are an Icon.

[BinaryBear07]

[sabertoothzombie]

Love those new icons

 

[JackEtc]

This shit has totally been fucking up my PS4. Turned it on today to only see the blue waves for about 10 minutes. Held the power button, nothing happened. Had to pull the power to get it to shut down.

Turned it back on, did the checking status stuff, then went back to the blue waves, gave me a notice about using a disk version of an application vs a digitally downloaded one? That went away, then I got a notification that simply said "Update the system software".

Ugh. WTF

EDIT: Starting with ethernet cable unplugged got it to boot. Deleted update download, plugged back in, let it restart the download. Hopefully everything will be okay then.

 

[Aenima]

Thank God for Safe Mode....

PS4 is back to normal... sort've.

The notifications kept complaining that I didn't download the update even though my PS4 says it did...

Everything is fine though. Might do a Rebuild Database sometime in the near future. Actually... I'm gonna totally buy a PS4 Pro after E3.

Just do a database rebuit from time to time, it dosent unistall nothing, and keeps the machine running properly.

 

[Electret]

Let me guess, no system-level downsampling for Pro?

 

[MaximumSpider]

I forgot I had The Silver Case on suspend. :/

 

[Goodacre0081]

not sure why Sony doesn't just ad the media player as a system level deal like the other apps. it continues to look the same as it did on the day it was released.

 

[TGO]

They changed the PSnow app, looks different
Then again it's been a while since I booted it up

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Seems like GTA V story mode is taking twice as long to load now. That's the only game I've started since the update though.

 

[Bluekaveli]

No stability? Gif anyway

I just noticed the ps4 there lmao

 

[Lagamorph]

For some reason my first thought on seeing the new icons was Windows 10.

 

[FlammableD]

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Capcom over here casting Ultima on PSN for 9999 HP damage to stop Sony from summoning 4.70

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Logo change = Quality

 

[Spine_Ripper]

At the Playstation Expo in December, everyone got a free tote bag the was literally the PS Store bag, but IRL. Now it's obsolete. Goddamn it, Sony.

UWA HA HA HA HA

 

[Insane Metal]

Gotta say, the icons look much better.

 

[Ahasverus]

Who cares about Pro Supersampling. Give me those icons!

 

[Psychoward]

So yet another update of not fixing that awful Notifications change.

.

 

[Quick]

I like the new icons. They should make it consistent systemwide and do it for the rest of the menu items.

 

[bitbydeath]

The store now also displays your 'wallet balance' in the top right corner.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Came for the stability gifs.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Nice removal of some dated skeuomorphism there.

 

[BigEmil]

It did that since 4.5, UK here

 

[Vashetti]

not sure why Sony doesn't just ad the media player as a system level deal like the other apps. it continues to look the same as it did on the day it was released.

Just a theory - I have no real basis for this:

But, could it be because Sony has to pay license fees for (some of) the formats the Media Player supports?

So they force you to download it yourself rather than give to everyone by default to reduce their fees?

 

[EmilioLargo]

Nice removal of some dated skeuomorphism there.

This.

 

[FusedAtoms]

Whoa whoa whoa. What's this about tournaments?

Shows different upcoming Tournaments from various locations. As well as ones that have already happened.

And then when you click on an upcoming event you can see the time its at and go to the website for the tourney as well as see rules and requirements and then you can register.

And for past tournaments you can see the Top 3 winners as well as look at everyone who entered and then the final overall standings. and judging by that greyed out icon when one goes live there's a button that will take you straight to the stream of the tourney.

Seems like a pretty cool feature tbh.

 

[BigBri1]

My Vue icon is still the old one...anyone else's not update? Now, Music, Video, and the Store have all changed. But agree the other icons need to be changed as well for consistency

 

[RedAssedApe]

Gotta say, the icons look much better.

Too bad they didn't update all their ps apps so half are still the old style

I'm having the exact same experience. Currently waiting on this weird download version message.

 

[SalientChief]

Quoted for an awesome reference.

The Ps4 Icons are somebody!

Lol. Icons! Stay away from the icons!!!

 

[muteki]

Because it was an afterthought since day 1.

 

[Salarians]

Weird. It installed fine for me but after looking through the store, I got some lag returning to the main PS4 menu. Then as I was playing Horizon, I went to check a trophy notification and got some serious menu lag. Shut down the PS4 and did a database rebuild and now it seems to be back to normal. :/

 

[Iacobellis]

After updating my physical copy of THPS5 was deemed corrupted. Weird.

 

[Jombie]

I wish you could create shortcuts for tv and video apps, or delete apps off the display that you don't want.

 

[randomusername]

After updating my physical copy of THPS5 was deemed corrupted. Weird.

Yeah the game I had in had a corrupted version too. Ejecting the disc seemed to have fixed it

 

[DarkConfidant]

Yay for minimalism!

Y'all got any minimalist gifs?

 

[respawnIN10]

Is it possible to get the icons in cornflower blue?

 

[Memnoch]

I hope this update corrects my external ssd from disconnecting when it's not being used. Very annoying.

Super useful addition if you enjoy tournies. It'll probably push me to watch more due to the accessibility.

Why can't we pin favorite games yet?

not sure why Sony doesn't just ad the media player as a system level deal like the other apps. it continues to look the same as it did on the day it was released.

Because in a perfect world they could update it without having to release a full system update. It's kind of like how Google has decoupled System Apps from Android and are now update-able in the Play Store, except they actually update them.

The Media Player is a separate app and receives separate updates to system updates.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

I know "stability" is a long-running GAF meme, but I sure hope this update fixes all of the random freezes that I've been seeing since 4.50.
