5 PS4 Firmware Update Features We Need in 2018

Push Square: "Sony didn’t update the PlayStation 4 much in 2017 – it didn’t really need to. We finally got external hard drive support, ticking off one of the system’s most oft-requested features since launch. And the manufacturer also completely overhauled the platform’s parental controls feature set. Beyond that, though, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to determine areas where the device can be strengthened – as evidenced by this article. Nevertheless, here are five firmware update features we want on the PS4 in 2018."

Being able to categorize Trophies on PS4 would be nice

dantesparda2727d ago

Here's my list of "Things needed on PS4/Pro"
01. System Wide Downsampling and forced (at least) 8x AF on Pro
02. Boost mode uses all of the Pro's power (meaning all 36 CUs instead of just half)
03. Auto Trophy Sync [Update: It sort of seems to have auto trophy sync, at least to the trophy tracking sites]
04. Trophy Tracker
05. The ability to delete games but keep their "update"/patch data or the ability to delete the update/patch
08. Stat tracker
07. Auto save file syncing between PS4s with the same account
08. PSN ID change
09. PS1/PS2 emulation
10. Ability to pin game tiles
11. Ability to upload all our pics and videos to PSN
12. Option to turn off Pro support when developers fuck things up
13. Store Wishlist with discount notifications
14. Game Gifting
15. PSN Country change
16. Ability to hide and/or delete tiles we dont want/need

And for goodness sake, fix the external HDD stuttering, already!

I agree with all of this. There is plenty they can still update on PS4, but it's always the same thing when it gets brought you for discussion. "It has games so features don't matter."

ziggurcat2727d ago

Regarding #5 - When you download a game from PSN, it automatically comes with the latest patch if you've deleted it from your console. I do agree, though, that the ability to delete a patch in the event that it causes more problems that it fixes should be an option.
Regarding #7 - That would be impossible to do that locally. You can have it auto upload save files to the cloud, and then download the save file from the cloud onto your secondary PS4. So technically, that feature already exists.
Regarding #12 - To my knowledge there hasn't been very many titles that have seen any detrimental side effects from its Pro support... there were a few games maybe in the beginning, but I have yet to see any current games reported to have major problems with its Pro support.
Regarding #13 - I think that already exists, as far as the wishlist is concerned.
Regarding #15 - I'm pretty sure you can already do that?
Regarding #16 - there is an option to reduce the amount of tiles that are visible in the system's menu.

As far as PS1/PS2 CD media emulation goes. The PS4 can not read CD's so you would have to download the file and I can't see that happening unless you pay for said file.

With regard to PS2 games on DVD the PS4 can read DVD's so an emulator may be possible to get a certified PS2 emulator (hint Sony! 😎) but somehow I don't think this will happen since Sony is selling for digital download selected PS2 games. If you are not in a hurry to digitally downloaded PS2 games I have seen some on PSN for well under half price during the course of the year.

I am a little unsure what you mean by "Ability to pin game tiles" would it not be easier to create and maintain a directory/folder with a list of games you are currently playing? You can do this now.

As for "Store Wishlist with discount notifications" that would be a nice feature of the PSN store, not the PS4 (PSN can advertise on the PS4 already if you care to look). I actually get discount info sent from PSN to my email already.

I do agree that game gifting is a good idea (I think Microsoft allows that for the XB1).

chris2352727d ago (Edited 2727d ago )

i don‘t care anymore. the ps3 system was ok-ish, showed promise and then they went for the worse with this pseudo facebook stream no one ever wrote something to. all the other social functions of the ps4 are strange and annoying, too. so basically, i‘m using the ps4 for gaming. and that was it. the occasional youtube and netflix thrown in. completely ignoring that there is a buddy list. i don‘t think i have interacted with the 100+ peeps in m buddylist since the ps4 got released. this whole operating system from sony is beyond meh. and so counterproductive.

All i want is supersampling via firmware

boing12727d ago

Or upgrade your tv to 4k and HDR? A lot more gain and 4k tvs are getting cheaper.

TheKingKratos2727d ago (Edited 2727d ago )

I would love too but in egypt 4k tvs cost 30000$
I enjoy all pro benefits i get on my tv though

boing12727d ago

@TheKingKratos

Oh, that sucks then. Sorry.

PhantomS422727d ago

The only thing I really want is for them to fix our game library. Let me hide all the demos and betas I've downloaded so my list of purchases items is 1)My actual list of games that I own digitally and 2)Way less of a headache to navigate and search (maybe even put in a search bar). With over 300 titles on this list, it takes forever to load to find a specific game, even if I can hide a third of that would be so much better.

Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.

crazyCoconuts13h ago

When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.

Profchaos7h ago

Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.

If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.

Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more

victorMaje4h ago

Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.

Alos8814h ago

Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.

OtterX13h ago

*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.

Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!

andy8513h ago

Yup if you have a portal premium is the best tier for sure

jznrpg14h ago

Add some more classics with trophies. Vagrant Story first

OtterX13h ago

Nice choice. I agree!

Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!

Eonjay11h ago

I like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Grandia. Add Xenogears, digimon World 3, Classic GTA and ill be happy

jznrpg9h ago

Jeanne D’Arc was great!

@Eonjay there is a Grandia collection available for PS4, I’m not sure if it’s been on plus already or not

darthv7214h ago

cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

Obscure_Observer13h ago

If the consumers are happy, Sony is even happier.

It is what it is.
