PS4 System Software Update 4.50 Features Detailed

Gave this a very quick test.

Cinema mode.
Not sure what you mean wrt using the camera for tracking.
3D effect seems fine and convincing, although no settings/sliders I could find.

Other notes:

Image and sound ONLY output to the PSVR and its audio out. The TV screen stays black and mute.

Thanks for this.


As for the drift, right now, cinema mode doesn't use the camera at all. So the lights on the helmet are turned off, and the camera doesn't track it. However, many people experience the screen starting to slant/turn to the side while they are watching in cinema mode. There was a thinking that using the camera could help stabilize that. Seems that isn't something Sony did.



Would you say the 3D effect is basically like watching at the movies then?

Was this added in a previous update, when I've redownloaded a game when I press options in it I now have upload/download saved data at the top so I don't have to dig into the settings to redownload my save pretty cool. Not sure if it's new or that I never noticed it before

Is there a way to manage content between external vs. internal?

I have a 500GB SSD that's not being used right now. If i could put it in my pro and pull over whatever game I have active at the time that would be amazing.

It sort-of looks that way although I only had literally a few seconds to test, will try to watch a proper movie this afternoon/evening.

I'm pretty sure all the tracking lights were on.

There was also a 2.40 PSVR update, so maybe one of the thing it fixes is that tracking thing?

So, who's going to start the PS4 community whose sole goal it is to share awesome pictures to use as backgrounds?

Because I need this. I want my flat, clean, minimal backgrounds god damnit.

Yes, you can select which drive you want things installed too

I'm actually the most pumped about 3D Bluray in VR. I've been keeping an old Playstation 27" TV to watch my 3D stuff, this is awesome news.

External drive is great too, I have a 4TB drive sitting around doing nothing.

How's that? I just checked and my PS4 says PSVR software is still at v2.00 and reports no update is available. Where did you get v2.40?

Cool, it's a nice way to upload download your game save quickly from the dash, you don't have to dig into the settings now and scroll a list to find your save you won't this finds them quickly.

Exactly. I had to do this recently and it's a tedious process with all the sub menus it had too.

External hard drive questions?

Will rest mode work with it?

Does this open up the possibility of sony putting its 4k movie store on ps4 pro?

Not as ideal as automatic cloud uploading/downloading but it's a step forward.

You do some great work, m0dus. But I mean like flat flat.

I don't want shit moving, I don't want 3D objects with shitty shimmering edges or colour banding. Visibility always suffers. Like in your second video, the text isn't even readable.

Give me just a flat colour, subtle texture or a static smooth blur gradient or something. Those are my jam, and i'd LOVE to have these on my PS4.

Hypothetical: You install all your games on the External HDD. Can you use that same drive on 2 PS4s that have your account?

Do you think it will be easy to patch the games that are installed in the Ext Hdd?

The same as usual. When you have the external plugged in the games show up on the XMB as normal, and can be updated or whatever. When done, it's patched, and doesn't have to be patched again if you plug it in on another PS4.

So if I'm able to see the EU Beta forums, does that mean I got in?

If that's the case, anyone else in that got in via an EU account not received their codes yet?
