the thing is this is what Sony should be doing,they have an amazing photo mode in many games and obcviously the screen shot mode yet on ps4 i can only get the 5 crap ones available in uk.

take note sony

hello123888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

I was unsure how do do this earlier and i watched a video and one guy was saying if you get an achievement you can set that as your background if you want really?.

Tried it and it works. Every achievement for any game you get a picture with it, awesome update if you ask me.

Jaqen_Hghar3888d ago

Sony has awesome themes and custom background already. A man is sure they'll let you use photos for backgrounds in a future update but not a big deal. Having shareplay is incomparable to putting a photo in the background tbh.

Yetter3888d ago

a future update next year in November?

Jaqen_Hghar3888d ago

@Yetter
A man honestly wouldn't even notice lol

Now of course a man would expect it before then and hopes it's there for all those who do value it but he just cares more about gaming features like shareplay than stuff like backgrounds.

@Jaqen_Hghar ,

What the heck does this have to do with Sony, PS4 or shareplay? Don't tell me you are another troll that leech on any good xbox news with the usual Sony popaganda. We already have too many of those people here. But I have a feeling you will be back. LOL

SniperControl3888d ago

Just checked, i still haven't received any update here in the UK.

I am not subscribing to gold, would that make a difference.

KingWookiee3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

They do it in waves and make sure it didn't auto do it while idle.

SideNote3888d ago

Check your console settings update. I had too.

Immorals3888d ago

masterfox3888d ago

hello win8/ windows phone lol

how do people find that ui so great?? my laptop reverts back to desktop mode and im going nowhere near a windows phones (same goes for many other phone users lool)

hell the Theme is hidden behind all the tiles lol

when it comes to software i think google an iso are kicking there arse lol

Immorals3888d ago

I hated it on my pc, yet it's great with a console. Even better with kinect (laziness catered for!)

Dgander3888d ago

Forget how it looks, if you ever get a chance to try it out yourself you will understand. The live tiles work great with achievments, friend list, media and snap features.
Xbox One UI > PS4 UI but its Microsoft and they specialize in software so it only makes sense.

Kane223888d ago

the ps4 UI is fine. its nothing special just like the xbox one. i get on the systems to play games not look at the UI which apparently some of you guys rather do....

captain_slow823888d ago

i have tried it win8/360/phone and im honest here its not worked out for me and the same goes for millions of users

Dgander3888d ago

@Kane22 I never said the PS4 UI sucked, its just not better than Xbox One UI. I was just stating the obvious that its better and Microsoft used it to its advantage with their features. Microsoft's bread and butter is software and Operating Systems so it makes sense why the Xbox One UI is so good.

smellslikeralph3888d ago

I have windows 8.1 on my pc and i hate the ui but its different on my tablet and x1. The ui was not designed with pc in mind but works amazingly on tablets and or x1 imo

Bigpappy3888d ago

Too bad. Win Phone8 is actually a lot cleaner, faster and more secure than android. I had a Droid and now have a Nokia Lumina 1020. Everything about the phone and interface oozes quality. It is so must faster and live tiles are very handy and informative. Updates are handled much better. With Android, I always felt like I was being spammed.

Another awesome, and very welcomed update...

carlosjrix3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

Its incredible how fanboys cant accept the obvious. Xbox one ui and features > ps4 ui and features. It is what it is, not what you want it to be.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Pre-Load Now Available, Nearly Twice The Download Size Of 1 + 2

I wish they’d do a proper switch 2 update for Tony Hawk 1+2 me and my 7 year old daughter love playing it in split screen and it plays great but it looks absolutely terrible. I would say it looks like the resolution drops down to about 540p in order to keep the framerate up.

LucasRuinedChildhood1h ago

If they don't, Pro Skater 1+2 is pretty cheap these days on PS5 and Series X if you have on of them. Switch version was only 30fps as well.

Pro Skater 3+4 will definitely be a huge upgrade from that on Switch 2.

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.

...the VR aspect in 7 IS the redeeming quality.

Abriael1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

what a dumb take.

Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.

TheColbertinator19h ago

I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly

PapaBop10h ago

^^^ I'm guessing you've never actually tried it in VR then? VR elevates games like this way beyond just a gimmick, just ask any GT fan who owns a PSVR 2. You may not need VR to have a good time but it's an absolute game changer and something that shouldn't be dismissed as a gimmick.

S2Killinit10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

@Abriael
Spoken like someone who never played it. But who are we kidding. We know why VR hate. No one is fooled here.

Abriael9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

@PapaBop: I tried it in VR before any of you ever did, since the game wasn't even out yet. It's a gimmick, disjointed from the AC7's main gameplay and far removed from its best parts.

It's nothing more than a limiting factor, as Ace Combat's most complex missions require hardware power to be focused on other things. That's why the VR missions are very basic.

If you think Ace Combat's strengths are even close to the platform it's on, VR or non-VR, you obviously aren't an Ace Combat fan.

In any case, I suggest you folks prepare yourself for disappointment. There's a reason why the VR gimmick was never expanded, and it's that, besides a few fanatics who care for evangelizing their VR fad more than they care for the franchise, no one gave a flying F.

The developers are going to use the resources to make the whole game better for everyone instead.

VR was the best thing that happened to Ace Combat. You kidding?

yeastori8h ago

VR is perfect for this type of game wdym

Abriael7h ago

It's a perfect way to limit this type of game.

Look, I’m a simple man. I see Ace Combat and say, “Yes!”

Abnor_Mal1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.

yeastori8h ago

I just want them to remaster AC4 and AC5, a new AC with better more realistic looking world and planes would be great too
