did the PS3 OS have music before? it would be awesome if we could put our own music that would be sick this would be mine http://www.youtube.com/watc... do it Sony.

TrevorPhillips3831d ago

The start-up yes, but the OS nope. It's mad though :)

Wtf are they thinking with this no MP3s BS O.o
I wonder what they're gonna give as a reason or if it'll be enabled later. Does it/will it even play digital titles (videos) from an external HDD or USB anymore?

That's really annoying.

FriedGoat3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

How is me talking about an OS function off topic? Just because it's not in the article it's still relevant to the discussion. Sort your damn moderators out N4G. I lost a bubble for that?

RobbyGrob3831d ago

@familyguy MP3 is actually a very old and inefficient format now that indeed should be forgotten so people will adapt to the new, because you can get way better sound from way smaller files nowadays with other formats.

@familyguy

"Does it/will it even play digital titles (videos) from an external HDD or USB anymore? "

They announced that external hard drives won't work on our PS4's. Which is a bummer as I keep my 500GB WD external HD plugged into my PS3 just for playing back media (mp3s and movies). Hopefully there will be a patch later on, but I doubt it. Just seems like a business move to ensure we use services such as sony music unlimited etc...

@ FriedGoat

I know they stated that there wont be support for Music CD's however you could still upload your music MP3 via thumb drive or external HDD.

Where did you see that it wont support MP3 either?

zeee3830d ago (Edited 3830d ago )

I personally don't really care for mp3 support but I do want to use my Sony wireless stereo headset for chatting and what not. I guess for some it could be the other way around. I just hope they add the support for their official products as soon as possible. and I'm talking days or a few weeks and not months. Please Sony please... make it happen.

i'm guessing it's like the OS music on Vita. just a tune that plays while you're there... would be amazing if they allowed you an option to just fire up a Music Unlimited mood station in the background right when you turn it on as well...

LakerGamerEnthusiast3831d ago

JESUS CHRIST. That sounds heavenly. lol *__*

Xsilver3831d ago

are you referring to the song i posted

ZombieKiller3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

I like how you can adjust the safe zone in the console instead of individual game. I wish they added controller mapping to that list too. I'd like it to be a system feature to customize controls....and PLEASE Sony, don't leave it up to the devs for custom soundtracks for games. PLEASE! I want custom soundtracks on EVERY game I choose.
Ok edit: I wrote that before I read the full article.
Arkham City's free roam made me create a soundtrack for it. A Batman soundtrack. It fit perfectly and I was looking forward to that in Origins. Yet they took that feature out. Arrrggggg!!!

here's a video of it, this is brand new information, first I heard of this UI music.

PS3 just had the sound when you click through the interface (custom sounds with some themes), no music.

Aghashie3831d ago

the ps vita already have this option on the menu. u can turn on/off the os music for the home screen.

now, user custom music for the home screen? that I don't know. never tried on my vita.

This is a much better subject for a change no Xb 1 bashing just everything about the Ps4 now the launch is getting closer this is what I like to comment about the Ps4 great in it .

Spontogical3831d ago

Dayum, from a media perspective - the PS4 has less features than the PS3 :/

kwiksilver993830d ago

it does doesnt it.i can understand if they dont want to add anything new but to actually remove features that the ps3 could do???
i use the dlna functionalilty a lot and also plug in an external hdd to watch stuff.

i dont like this one bit.hope they can bring it back with a patch.and that they do:(

xtremeimport3831d ago

Shit, I want some of it to be a surprise when I take it out of the box. I dont really wanna know EVERYTHING about it.

kwiksilver993830d ago

just cover your ears and blindfold yourself for the next 2 weeks:)
and just to be safe keep saying lalalala 24/7

The little details are what seem to make it. The idea of being able to adjust the short key for the share button to better suit yourself and having the safe zone adjusted in the OS to prevent the need to do it again when playing games.

JimmyLmao3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

here is what the music in the PS4's OS sounds like, for anyone who is curious.
http://youtu.be/oaVLdo9-hIY...

i think it sounds nice and relaxing =)

you have the option to toggle it on or off

LOL_WUT3831d ago

Wow sounds really good unlike the WiiU's background music which gets pretty loud. So the option to turn it off the PS4's OS music makes it all that makes better. ;)

assdan3831d ago

I wouldn't say this is amazing news by any means, but they're nice conveniences.

r213831d ago

Alright, thats how I like my UI, plenty of options available :D

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows9039m ago(Edited 38m ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno21m ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak4m ago

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one, this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't !
