Wow. Tonight was a great night. First TLOU LIVE, Then the release of the game and now 3d playback for movies.

UltraNova3578d ago

Good, now feedback people try it and let us know how the ps4 performs (I cant wait to get home in 8 hrs...)

heisenberguk3578d ago

Tested it for a few mins and it works great!

choujij3577d ago (Edited 3577d ago )

I was wondering what 1.75 featured. I too was prompted upon booting up to play TLOU. I'm glad they added it, cause I've got a 3D TV which needs some more 3D love.

Btw, TLOU in 60fps is oh so sweet. I was curious about the 30fps lock and switched once to try it... Heeeeelll no. I switched right back to 60.

showtimefolks3577d ago

sony i want to be able to use my external hard drive on ps4 to watch videos and stuff, we had it on ps3. why is it taking so damn long on ps4

THC CELL3578d ago

great update happy, as much is i game on my console i dont mind kicking back and watching a movie now and again

Ares84HU3578d ago

Same here. I do actually watch 3D movies a lot. In fact, I only buy movies if they are 3D now. It comes with regular 2D version anyway so.

Now, all we need is audio file playback and all video playback and to see when friends sign on and off.

Minute Man 7213577d ago

What do you think about Noah releasing in 3D worldwide today except here in America? Disney has Ratatouille 3D out in Europe http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rat...

But not in the States, that's wack

Ares84HU3577d ago

I think it's a bad business decision. I will import it from Europe in that case. I got a few movies from Europe anyway so it's not a big deal.

wsoutlaw873577d ago

thats very strange. I wonder why.

english_learner3578d ago

Better than nothing.
But It still sucks, in 2014 there are no friends notification.
I dont know when the last time my friends were online.

0P-Tigrex3578d ago

If anything, make it possible to select which friends you want notifications to appear. The last thing I wold want is countless notifications of all of my friends going on and offline.

TM3333578d ago

No doubt. It always would interrupt watching movies and shows with the family. It takes away from the immersion.

BG115793578d ago

That's actually on the spot.
A notification that would be able to configure would be awesome.
Which groupe of persons, playing the same as you, or not at all when you're watching a movie.
That would be pretty sweet.

k3rn3ll3577d ago

Honest to god im not trying to troll. But Sony could duplicate Xbox version of notifications and Id be good with that. Especially the on off switch

spacedelete3578d ago

i hope they never bring in friends notifications as its just annoying and i don't like the feeling i'm being noticed of going online by my friends. i don't want to seen as a game addict.

Magnes3578d ago

I don't mind if they put friend notification in as long as I can turn it off. I don't want to know when my friends are popping on and off while I'm watching a Movie.

Revengeance3578d ago

You do know you can sign out of your PSN account and play offline right?

KwietStorm_BLM3578d ago

They're doing the same thing as you, at the same time..

Utalkin2me3577d ago

@Magnes

Then just sign out before playing your movie

Gamble203578d ago

You know every single time Sony updates the PS4 firmware there is someone saying "I don't need this. I want X feature..." And then a bunch of people pile on asking for that feature. Later, after Sony releases a new firmware that adds the feature, the comments here are "Okay but what I really want is Y". Sony can never win in the firmware game. Someone will always want something it doesn't yet have. We all know it will eventually get friend notifications and media features and it is good that as fans we apply pressure but for once can we actually be happy when they do add these features rather than immediately slam them because they didn't add the one you perceived to have priority?

GhostTurtle3578d ago (Edited 3578d ago )

I don't see anyone complaining here. Friends notification has been something folks have been asking for since Day 1.

MoonConquistador3578d ago

Well said Gamble. It's a human trait to take your eyes off what you get, or what you've already got as your focus is entirely on what's missing or what you should have got.

@Ghost - maybe you should look harder. English_learner complained that Sony hadn't already implemented friends notifications. Which in turn sparked a debate on wether they were good or bad (split opinions on that too)

So in summary, Gambles observation was entirely correct, at every single firmware upgrade. I'm just unsure why Ghost decided to add his tuppence worth when it's clear from the comments that not everyone has been waiting on friend notifications

UnHoly_One3578d ago

That's typical of anything like this.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all the time.....

jwm23578d ago

Remember back in the day when you bought a console and what you got was as good as it was ever going to get? I don't recall ever hearing any complaints about features it didn't have. You just played your games and that's all that was expected. Now people complain if it won't play all of their media in the exact way they want it. As a general media device these things are great. You can still buy a BluRay player to play movies in 3D, you don't have to use your console to watch them.

solid_snake36563578d ago

Well here's the thing, certain features should have been their day 1. Like dlna, wallpapers/dynamic themes, folders, notifications, 3d movie playback. All these things are on the ps3

Pekka3578d ago

@jwm2: People complain because for example as a media player PS3 is much better than PS4. Even after this update it is still so. People complain because a lot of people used PS3 as media player and PS4 is still completely worthless as media player. Heck, for a lot of people PS3 is still a lot better than PS4. So I understand completely those complaints.

And probably some people say that Sony has promised those and those features for PS4. I don't trust big companies at all, no matter whether it is Sony or MS or Nintendo. Companies lie all the time so feature just doesn't exist on console until after it is released. If feature you really want doesn't exist, just don't buy the console.

k3rn3ll3577d ago

I would assume more people would want friend notifications first. Im not an avid 3d viewer, but I would imagine most that have a 3d tv already had a capable player before ps4. I understand there are some that might have just bouhht a new 3d tv since they got ps4 and are waiting to buy a player, but that is a very small percentage compared to those that would like and or us the notifications addition

wsoutlaw873577d ago

@Solid You can say you wanted them there day one but the really didnt need to be. It doesnt make any difference that the ps3 had them becuase they worked on the ps3 os for a long time. It didnt even have in game xmb when it launched. Its not like the ps4 is built off the ps3 os so its irrelevant. I dont think anyone would have wanted the ps4 delayed just for music. I dont need my playstation to play music.

showtimefolks3577d ago

gamble

but could we please get features that ps3 had for sop long on ps4? like external harddrive support for media files?

UnHoly_One3578d ago

Xbox One didn't have it for awhile either, but they finally have it right.

You only get the notification for the people you want, and you can set it up so you don't get them at all while watching video.

I would imagine Sony will implement something similar at some point soon.

k3rn3ll3577d ago

Id be fine if they just copied the xbox version of it.

wsoutlaw873577d ago

ya thats good because the 360s notifications were very annoying during movies.

Epic! Keep pouring on that gravy thick and sloppy SONY!!!!

SniperControl3578d ago

@emptyskyform

Basically, what he is saying is, that the PS4 is perfect as it is, anything extra is gravy.

mmcglasson3578d ago (Edited 3578d ago )

Why did he get so many disagrees? I'm assuming because of all the illiterate people that can't comprehend what he was insinuating?

jwm23578d ago

I can see why people might disagree. You might put gravy on things you don't like and the thicker it is the more covering up it does. Only the OP knows the real answer.

user95589033578d ago

I don't think there is any correlation between literacy and being able to understand somebody's made up sayings. Chode

Good-Smurf3578d ago

That's great news for people with 3D HDTV sets.
To me not much to get excited for except that they improve the sound quality at 1.5x playback speed.
I'm still waiting for media playback,you know anything that are not BR,DVD movies,I wanted FLAC and other high res audio format support but considering Sony took their sweet time releasing new update...well CD playback and MP3 is enough for the start...DLNA too.

Deadpoolio3578d ago

Guess you'll just have to keep watching your stolen movies on a PC/PS3 or 360.....They aren't stupid there is no rush to add DLNA because a retarded 5 year old knows it's only pirates in a huge hurry to get it

spacedelete3578d ago

i can tell for a fact the PS4 is already capable of watching pirated movies as i do it myself through the web browser. i'm actually surprised how easy it is.

jwm23578d ago

"Locks only stop the honest people from getting in", my grandma used to say.

Pekka3578d ago

A lot of people wanting all of these features are not pirates. You can buy legal digital movies or music on internet, you know? I have a lot MP3 music and digital movies (completely legal) and I would also want to play CD:s, DVD:s etc. Right now, PS4 is missing so much that it isn't worth buying to me. There aren't even that many games, and almost all of them ports, so there is no hurry buying PS4.

Ghost Of Tsushima's PSN May Be Online-Only, But People Still Can't Play It

Sucker Punch’s massive samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima has come under fire because of the PSN requirement. However, unlike Helldivers 2, things are a lot different and more logical this time.

thorstein13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

"Sony has made it clear long before its release that the PSN requirement is strictly for the online multi-player Legends mode in Ghost of Tsushima and the PlayStation overlay. Online connection or PSN is not applied to the single-player campaign, which is honestly what the game is all about."

Extermin8or3_4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Legends clearly was based around using the pan they hardly want to have to design a whole new account structure just to play it, that's alot of effort and work. Ultimately people kicked up a fuss despite there being workarounds in most of those territories that people with a ps console have used over there for literally like 15/16 years. This is the consequence of that, be careful what you wish for or demand because you don't necessarily get to pick the method by which you get it.

melmacj2h ago

This game is not Helldivers 2. Every game doesn’t need to be Call of Duty. I may or may not play one minute of the online component. I’m buying it solely for the story/campaign. Sony needs to integrate it better but Microsoft does the same with Xbox live account. It’s an ecosystem they will always want to tie into the console audience and frankly don’t know why this is such a big deal.

Seafort7m ago(Edited 7m ago)

It is because the PC isn't a console and shouldn't be tied to the same restrictions the console gamers are. If Sony wants PC gamers to buy their games they will need to learn what I and many others will accept.

Trying to harvest our personal details for any of their games on PC will not fly.

cthulhucultist17m ago

cant wait to play this masterpiece!

neutralgamer199214m ago

I want to play it for single player and if I want to try legends I am willing to log into my PSN account. What’s the big deal anyway? If I want to play a rockstar game from steam I still have to have a different launcher and account other that launcher and same goes for UBI. On PC we have so many store front anyway what’s another log in. BTW the way we the pc gamers reacted to HD2 will only mean Sony will make it clear before launch that their online is only available with PSN account
