PS4 Update 1.76 to 1.80 highly requested features

PRW: "We were one of the first to break the news on the PS4 1.75 update going live earlier this week. As expected, Sony finally gave users 3D Blu-Ray support and in-turn, managed to get the feature out before Microsoft who are still putting the final touches on the Xbox One August 2014 update which will also introduce the same feature.

While it’s great to be able to watch our 3D Blu-Ray collection on our PS4 at last, we can still see that there are a number of missing PS4 features that users are still begging Sony for."

There is a folder on the PS4 UI its called Library. We need Sony to do a Pin feature so we can post games & apps of our choice on dashboard and limit it to say 20 items. The library then needs filters to sort games by type.

colonel1793557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

I was thinking the exact same thing. We should be able to control what's on the dashboard, and then have everything else on the library. Once you choose library, you can then sort by name, type, etc. and have folders.

We should also be able to sort things in the dashboard. I hate that things move by recent, when I want them to stay where they are.

NukaCola3557d ago

I want to remove the icons for apps I won't use. I don't like having an NBA or MLB app stuck to my screen when all I want is hulu and Netflix etc etc

Zenith4k3557d ago

Great idea by this time next year I'll be navigating a dashboard for 20 min ;)

C-H-E-F3557d ago

Uhm saying playstation... Blah blah always gets me to where I need to be but this would make the UI better.

mark3214uk3557d ago

this feature has to come as some point surely

Conzul3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

Careful though, someone decided that the library is inaccessible when your internet connection is out. Don't wanna put ALL your games in there.

Try it. Disable your internet connection and try to open your library folder. lawl amirite? FIXIT SONY!
Also offline trophy view FFS!!!!!

Also a timer by each game so we can see how long played...

Also make the browser preserve logins so I don't have to log in to my sites every damn time I open it...

Also remove confirmation notifications from voice-command screenshots. Every voice-command screenshot I take has that damn "Say A Command" notice watermarked on it...

Also fix the SHARE Video function it's still broken...

Also while watching a person broadcast let me switch their PSCamera feed and their gameplay feed so I can chose which one I wanna focus on...

Oh, and for the love of God, media libraries like PS3 had.

opoikl3556d ago

Yes to having a timer record your playtime for each game! That's something I've wanted since the early PS3 days.

My list of things Sony has to fix
1. DLNA and MP3 Support
2. Playstation Now Prices
3. Notification of Friends Online
4. The ability to share ONLY to your Playstation friends and not just Facebook and Twitter

New Features they need to add
1. More customization for our profile
2. The ability to "follow" people like famous people and youtube/livestream stars
3. Customizeable UI background and Icons

Sparticus_13557d ago

Follow famous people from a ps4? You arent serious are ya? That is by far the most outrageous feature Ive seen asked for. LMAO

Couldntfindasn3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

Its a feature available on Xbox one, for example this would've been nice(for me) a couple years ago when Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson played COD and would post his GT on twitter/FB for people to play with, we couldn't add him but "following" him would be cool to see when hes playing a maybe joining his match. Not a outrageous feature lol

Christopher3557d ago

What I want right now:

1. The ability to have a 'games' folder instead of a huge bar of games I played in the last 9 months. I know I can delete them, but some of them I want to stay around, just not in that manner.

2. The ability to either hide apps I don't have or want installed or at least an option to go between two category tabs for 'installed' and 'not installed' apps (navigate between the tabs using R1/R2 or the like). This is specifically aimed at the TV/Movies category where I have to constantly see all the options there rather than the 3 I use on a regular basis (Hulu, Amazon, Netflix). I have no need for NHL, Crackle, and similar items. Why do I have to see them and why do some of them push down the items I do use regularly?

What I want in the near future:

1. DLNA/Media Server recognition/capability w/a wide array of format support.

2. True 1080p screenshots rather than 720p or less depending on the service to which I am sharing the images.

3. G+/YouTube integration for posting pictures/videos to specific circles. This is where the majority of the people I game/talk games with reside and having to post to facebook where only I can see it, save it, and re-upload to G+ is a pain in the butt.

4. Trophies that auto-synchronize as soon as they are earned rather than daily or manual updates.

OpenGL3556d ago

Use the USB export feature for true 1080p screenshots and then upload them to the website of your choice. It's a much better choice as the jpeg compression quality is pretty good.

Christopher3556d ago

@OpenGL: Still a pain and we shouldn't be dealing with the upload compression at all. But, yeah, I could do that.

bez873557d ago

Fully agree, I have over 10 retail games and all the PS+ games on there, it's getting a little harder to find games and with the app folders just shoved between them it's all looking a mess, great idea, always thought what is the point of having a Library App if everything you have anyway is shoved on the dash. good idea ya should work for sony get things moving quicker, it's the actual one feature i really want more than any other.

Zenith4k3557d ago

Can anyone answer me this please, I don't have a 3d TV and even if I did I can't see 3d (iv got one shitty eye) so instea of it taking up space on my hard drive can I just delete it, and also do newer updates delete older ones or are they all needed to keep a constant "stability" for the ps 4 thanks in advance

KwietStorm_BLM3557d ago

Can you delete what? The firmware? It just overwrites itself. It's not taking up any space.

Zenith4k3557d ago

Okay thanks for that wasn't sure cheers

BitbyDeath3557d ago

Firmware is the operating system, it isn't an application.

Christopher3556d ago

Zenith4k,

Just to be clear, you cannot delete portions of firmware. But, unlike what others have said, it does take up space but it's space that's automatically allocated to the firmware (aka OS) already. So, say there's 5GB of firmware space allocated, you may only be using 3GB of it now and the other 2GB is reserved for future updates but unused at this time.

Steptoe3557d ago

I think they'll have to do the pin feature or something similar. Soon, as more games come it's gonna be an endless scroll. It wouldn't suprise me if the Ui gets a total overhaul.

stavrami-mk23557d ago

Dualshock use with remote play on one account would be appreciated

tenacious_b3557d ago

All I want is ps4 media server so I can get out of last gen purgatory with my ps3. Oh and youtube app and we're done.

BitbyDeath3557d ago

App is said to be coming for Youtube but in the meantime if you goto youtube.com/tv you will see the exact same layout that came with the PS3 youtube app.

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

Crows906h ago(Edited 6h 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

-Foxtrot4h ago(Edited 4h 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 they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0074h ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel19894h ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw6h 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.

Inverno5h 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.

phatak5h ago(Edited 5h 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.

andy855h ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
