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.

colonel1793553d ago (Edited 3553d 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.

NukaCola3553d 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

Zenith4k3553d ago

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

C-H-E-F3553d ago

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

mark3214uk3553d ago

this feature has to come as some point surely

Conzul3553d ago (Edited 3553d 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.

opoikl3553d ago

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

TheFanboySlayer3553d ago

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_13553d 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

Couldntfindasn3553d ago (Edited 3553d 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

Christopher3553d 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.

OpenGL3553d 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.

http://i3.minus.com/ibzav6n...

Christopher3553d ago

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

bez873553d 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.

Zenith4k3553d 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_BLM3553d ago

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

Zenith4k3553d ago

Okay thanks for that wasn't sure cheers

BitbyDeath3553d ago

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

Christopher3553d 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.

Steptoe3553d 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-mk23553d ago

Dualshock use with remote play on one account would be appreciated

tenacious_b3553d 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.

BitbyDeath3553d 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.

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos5h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos3h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje3h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum6h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum2h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola1h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum1h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola57m ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum22m ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad3h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola1h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos1h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai2h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK2h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.
