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

UltraNova3559d ago

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

heisenberguk3559d ago

Tested it for a few mins and it works great!

choujij3558d ago (Edited 3558d 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.

showtimefolks3558d 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 CELL3559d ago

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

Ares84HU3559d 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 7213559d 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

Ares84HU3559d 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.

wsoutlaw873558d ago

thats very strange. I wonder why.

english_learner3559d 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-Tigrex3559d 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.

TM3333559d ago

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

BG115793559d 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.

k3rn3ll3559d 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

spacedelete3559d 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.

Magnes3559d 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.

Revengeance3559d ago

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

KwietStorm_BLM3559d ago

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

Utalkin2me3559d ago

@Magnes

Then just sign out before playing your movie

Gamble203559d 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?

GhostTurtle3559d ago (Edited 3559d ago )

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

MoonConquistador3559d 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_One3559d 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.....

jwm23559d 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_snake36563559d 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

Pekka3559d 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.

k3rn3ll3559d 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

wsoutlaw873558d 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.

showtimefolks3558d ago

gamble

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

UnHoly_One3559d 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.

k3rn3ll3559d ago

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

wsoutlaw873558d ago

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

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

SniperControl3559d ago

@emptyskyform

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

mmcglasson3559d ago (Edited 3559d 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?

jwm23559d 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.

user95589033559d ago

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

Good-Smurf3559d 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.

Deadpoolio3559d 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

spacedelete3559d 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.

jwm23559d ago

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

Pekka3559d 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.

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

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h 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

-Foxtrot0m ago

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how the cherry pick who to give the benefits of the doubts to.

Leeroyw1h ago

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.

Inverno1h 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.

phatak52m ago(Edited 43m 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,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but 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.
