Support NeoGAF

[Arklite]

That is some mile high bullshit, get real over there. These walled off gardens keep coming up with more layers of garbage.

 

[fozzyhull]

Im a massive sony fan and ps fan but wow no mp3 is just silly

 

[HovaHovito]

Damn, theyre doing this to push their bs product

 

[AstroNut325]

Don't care about MP3s... just give me DNLA.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

I remember listening to Sony reps post E3 trumpet that Sony will not put services like Netflix, for instance, behind a paywall; you won't need to pay to access content you already own or have paid for.

 

[Xater]

MP3 support better gets patched in down the line. Sony needs to understand that no one wants to use their music service.

 

[Goldmund]

If you think people are suckers for listening to mp3s, you should go and find out what bit rate Music Unlimited uses. Hint: there's cutting irony to the second part of the name.

 

[Harlock]

Titanfall are looking better now.

 

[Rhindle]

Will PS4 support media servers or DLNA support in order to stream videos or movies from a home PC?

The PS4 system does not support client functionality for media servers.

Absolutely ridiculous. What kind of bullshit is this?

 

[UberTag]

When do we get the PS4 can't stream media thread? We're getting one of those too, right?

 

[Tratorn]

Everyone spam @yosp. Really, they can't be serious.
The PS3 is a better media center than its successor. That f'ing sucks, really.

 

[Froli]

Are users able to record, distribute or stream any gameplay video?
No. Users may not be able to record certain areas within the game. Developers can select the area of restriction, and what will be restricted will depend on game titles. In these cases, recording will be temporarily suspended during the scene.

Wth is this crap. And no mp3!

 

[IvorB]

You would have thought Sony corp would have learnt their lesson about trying to force music format preferences on people.

No MP3 playback is f**king LAME.

And here was I actually hoping for Spotify support. Luckily I phased my game console out of my living room music solution a while ago.

 

[Rock Gotti]

Meh I don't give a shit personally, but I do agree that it should be a bog standard feature.

 

[Hyunickel]

I've been using my PS3 as a media hub for so long! No DLNA, no external hardrive support, no MP3 running in the background. Sigh. Man this sucks :/

 

[Lambda Pie]

not that i would listen to MP3s on a console but damn, how fuckin stupid is that restriction?

 

[ILHASS]

No DLNA? Wtf? Just.....W T F? PS3 better media center than PS4, this is ridiculous

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I wouldn't necessarily use the feature, but that's still cray cray. Get real, Sony.

 

[OSHAN]

Looks like I'll be keeping my PS3 hooked up longer than I thought. Pretty lame, Sony.

 

[EmptySpace]

Sony does if they want the sales, and their best selling point is still "Holy shit, did Microsoft really just do that?" Microsoft has given me dozens of reasons to decide that I'm never buying an Xbox One, Sony still hasn't really stepped up and given me that many reasons why I should buy a PS4 unless I absolutely must have a new console.

there's been four major playstation conferences this year. if you didn't like the things they presented then don't buy it and quit whining.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Weak. Background music and/or custom soundtracks completely saves the racing genre (IMO). Those soundtracks are fucking awful, and it's great having the game/music be part of the same music stream. I don't know about your setups, but I can't stream the game's audio and my music audio through the same speakers. I would have to play my PC (behind me) and the game (speakers hooked up to receiver).

Plus, custom soundtracks while screwing around in open world games is great. I used it quite a lot on the 360 and the OG Xbox.

I'll whine all the fuck I want, thanks.

 

[Kintaro]

I don't understand. How can you not have the same basic features of your previous console on your next gen console?

 

[AlanzTalon]

Really strange. What kind of things would developers restrict? Maybe something with gore/nudity?

Hopefully story spoilers.

 

[Vorg]

No DLNA is just unbelievable these days. Especially coming from the PS3. So is the new slogan for the ps4 "It only does nothing but play games"?

 

[Tom Penny]

No DNLA too...guess I'm staying PC this gen or waiting at least a year for some heavy hitters to come out.

 

[fade_]

Don't care about MP3s... just give me DNLA.

This, who cares about MP3.

 

[HovaHovito]

lol @ the concern outrage. As for me I barely used that feature in wipeout, and before that gta san andreas on pc.

You're using that word freely. People here seem pretty genuine about this, dont be so dismissive

 

[Preemo]

wow. that is fucking draconian bullshit.

 

[jaru]

One more...

Will users be able to connect an external hard drive to expand storage on PS4?

No, this feature is not supported on PS4.

 

[BloodMoney]

Straight from the PS4 FAQ posted on blog.us.playstation.com

"Will PS4 support media servers or DLNA support in order to stream videos or movies from a home PC?
The PS4 system does not support client functionality for media servers."

FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! someone(s) w/ twitter seriously need to blow up yosp's account.

 

[arena08]

Solution: Turn down in-game music, turn up stereo.

 

[kinggroin]

No DLNA is the biggest offender. I know a lot of people here like to use the PlayStation 3 as a media streamer. Oh well, time for them to invest in a cheap wireless Blu ray player.

 

[Tucah]

This is pretty fucking dumb, even though it's a feature I'd never use.

 

[Toma]

Go spam yosp or whatever. Someone make Sony realize this is like the antithesis of PS4NODRM and they actually dont want that.

Again, this is vogelkacke.

 

[Slair]

This is horseshit, i was hoping i could stream music while playing multi and at the very least put some mp3 on there and do it that way.

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

Piss poor move. I've been lulled into a false sense of security with all the smily non-arrogant Sony of late.

 

[fallagin]

Well.. Fuck that.

 

[fozzyhull]

well i was hoping for proper MKV support but not very likely if they dont even allow MP3

 

[Perkel]

Grade A bullshit imo.

 

[paranoidfortean]

Sorry music pirates.

 

[UNCMark]

Sony was much better off when they were quiet and just let Microsoft do the talking. Now the bullshit comes out. Couldn't hide it forever.

 

[Goldmund]

Solution: Turn down in-game music, turn up stereo.

How elegant.

 

[silver.tongue]

Pre-order cancelled thread?

If anyone actually cancels their preorder over this, it's because he/she was just waiting for an excuse to do so.

 

[darkwing]

don't worry guys, with no MP3/DLNA we saved $99

 

[Imm0rt4l]

This right here is some bullshit

This also stood out to me:

we already knew that

 

[Raistlin]

Really strange. What kind of things would developers restrict? Maybe something with gore/nudity?

Cinema spoilers

 

[ymmv]

No CD, no SACD, no MP3, no DLNA ... The PS4 is going to be the most powerful games console, but it's turning out to become a very weak multi media machine. I'd expect it to improve on the PS3 (MKV/FLAC support) instead of losing features. Sony wants/expects all PS4 owners to listen to music/watch movies through streaming services instead of using their own media files? I hope it will play at least DVDs and Blu-Rays?

 

[Bedlam]

Did anyone actually use this feature on their PS3 / 360? I sure didn't. I've got way too many other music players to worry about putting music on my console.

All the time, seriously. I have my mp3 player always with me and when I'm home, I will often just plug it into my 360 or PS3.

 

[DBT85]

I would hope that with the twitter outrage that's already started, and this thread which I'm sure Adam Boyes will see, might at least get a "it's coming".

Though honestly something like this is a launch feature.

 

[Archaix]

You're adorable and hilarious, I just want you to know that.
