Support NeoGAF

[Drencrom]

FW 4.0 and iOS 10 tomorrow?

Cool.

 

[LAM09]

Good news. Been enjoying the additions in the beta.

 

[DorkyMohr]

There's a video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2kvMCXdqjM

Looks pretty sleek.

 

[bombshell]

Can all the non-gaming tiles be thrown into a folder?

It sucks that the TV, browser, etc. tiles are bumped to the front whenever a new app is released. So throwing all that into media folder would be great.

Not those in the TV/video tile, but every other app can.

lol...don't get too excited about folders. its nice but its still somewhat limited

I think it's been a game changer in the beta for keeping my home screen line of tiles organized.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Yep. I have the capture gallery, web browser, etc all thrown into a folder and organized the way I want. You cannot, however, put things like YouTube or Netflix into a folder. The Tv & Video tile still exists and can't be changed.

Did the TV "folder" get any sort of update? It's kind of a mess atm.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Man, I wish TV makers decoupled HDR from 4K. I'd get a small 1080p HDR tv for my room just for this update if it was found to be significant.

 

[Wil348]

The quick menu Spotify tab...

[helium121]

Happy for the folders but I still wish they would add external HD support. Let me delete stuff from my library too.

thx, added to OP

 

[Justified]

Oh yea!

When stabilty, and new features meet:

 

[theDeeDubs]

Awesome. I really like the quick menu button they added. Honestly, every thing about this update is awesome. Well done, Sony.

About the only thing I could want now is for them to work on the friends list a little. It needs an overhaul/facelift I think.

 

[fernoca]

Oh! That was one of the tiles I wanted to throw into a folder. XD

Thanks.

 

[DryvBy]

Who to believe? : (

It's limited because you can only put one game per folder. Maybe there's something else but I like it a lot more.

edit: Worded this poorly. I meant you can't have one game in multiple folders.

 

[AuthenticM]

That will never happen.

It will probably happen when Sony shuts down support for the PS3. If the original Xbox could limit the number of friends your Live account could have, I'm sure the PS3 can hamper a menial feature such as changing your ID.

 

[Steve McQueen]

Guess HDR will be patched in for some games?

 

[super-famicom]

More stability!

Spoiler

folders, aww yiss

 

[Mesharey]

I guess there's no game supports HDR yet?

 

[Figboy79]

Sounds very good! I'm really excited for folders. I'll probably tinker around with the HDR settings, but the folders are super important. I have over 100 something PS4 games that I'd love to organize into various categories (mainly, shit I'm playing, shit I'm not playing, and shit I'm not playing yet).

 

[Kyoufu]

Good stuff. The snappier and sleeker Quick/Share menus as well as the folders have been great.

 

[Fliesen]

haha, the clips from No Man's Sky look so dull. it's like a satirical re-edit.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Wait maybe I'm not understanding you correctly but that's not true at all. You can put any number of games in a folder.

 

[Karspankey]

Did the TV "folder" get any sort of update? It's kind of a mess atm.

Nope, not at all.

Oh! That was one of the tiles I wanted to throw into a folder. XD

Thanks.

Yeah, the TV and Video is basically a pre-made folder that you can't edit sames as it's always been though.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Who to believe? : (

Don't get me wrong. I like it. Its definitely decluttered things since I just have one folder with all the playstation apps (vue, live, spotify, media player, image viewer, etc.). There are limitations though:

- you can't have a game/app in more than one folder
- you can't have media apps (outside of the sony ones) in a folder)
- you have to manually sort your folders
- you can't pin folders to the front of the DMB

Did the TV "folder" get any sort of update? It's kind of a mess atm.

Its better now. If you delete a media app off your HD it won't show up here now. The one caveat is if its one of the promoted apps/ads in the first few rows. Those are still there.

 

[icespide]

Wait maybe I'm not understanding you correctly but that's not true at all. You can put any number of games in a folder.

I think he means you can't put the same game in multiple folders

 

[JohngPR]

I remember seeing that NBA2K will have HDR on Xbox One, wonder if it will on PS4 as well.

 

[stargateheaven]

It's limited because you can only put one game per folder. Maybe there's something else but I like it a lot more.

what? you can put multiple games in folders.

 

[Justified]

One game per folder? What would be the point then lol

 

[Veritigo_X]

Nope, not at all.

Bleh. I can't imagine how anyone can look at that and think "looks good".

 

[LordOfChaos]

In order to make it easier to get all of your data from one PS4 to another, especially if you upgrade to PS4 Pro, we’ve added the ability to transfer data over a wired LAN connection. You can transfer games, user info, and saved data. Of course, you can re-download content and transfer saves through the cloud, but the LAN transfer should be much faster and easier.

Sweet

 

[MegaSackman]

Latam blog doesn't mention the "share" upgrade for Pro and, of course, they still don't mention the PS4 Pro at all. Guess they haven't the slightiest idea of what they're gonna do with the console yet.

 

[Kyoufu]

I remember seeing that NBA2K will have HDR on Xbox One, wonder if it will on PS4 as well.

A patch after the game has launched.

 

[RoboPlato]

Been in the beta for a while now and it's really great.

System feels much more responsive and looks nicer.

 

[Strangelove77]

I hope they let you change the folder icon color. Bright blue is an eyesore.

 

[CouchMaster]

Data transfer over LAN is huge.

 

[bobawesome]

Just in time for Psycho Pass.

 

[Sjefen]

FOLDERS

Well that was an announced feature for the console, so why would they announce that they "added it" in this blog post?

 

[Exteromate]

Anybody have any idea how we can test the HDR?

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

Psyched, but I need to know that this will fix my Whats New section updating, it hasn't updated since June.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Anybody have any idea how we can test the HDR?

assuming netflix and youtube apps will need to be updated?

I see. Sorting folder manually seems to be the only one very annoying to me. I don't see the point on having a game on multiple folders and never care much for pinning folders.

what? you can put multiple games in folders.

One game per folder? What would be the point then lol

I think he meant that one game can't be on multiple folders at the same time; not that a folder can only hold 1 game.

 

[Thorzilla]

Great system update IMO. Much needed refinement to the UI, although it still needs some work.

Vey excited for the data transfer too!

 

[Tallshortman]

Folder hype

 

[kaskade]

its nice that hdr is coming to the original PS4 too. Do games need to be patched or could some of them display the hdr already? I thought I remember reading that when assets are made they can be made with a higher range of colors they just don't get displayed.

 

[J-Skee]

Looks like everyone who still has PT can safely transfer it over to another PS4 & get rid of the other one if they desire.

 

[BigEmil]

Best update yet imo also as a huge Spotify PS4 user those improved music controls in quick menu too is bliss

^ This exactly, word for word ^

Goddamit.

 

[ajb1888]

Exciting times!

 

[GribbleGrunger]

This is the first time I've been excited for a firmware update.
