Support NeoGAF

[Haeralis The BRave]

Can someone explain suspend / resume? It seems like you can already press the PS button to exit to the menu screen. Does this just allow you to go into rest mode when you do that?

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

To be fair: Folders are not a very modern concept.

It would be better if it was handled by filters and sorting options and so on.

nope

 

[Vashetti]

Colorblind support on the OS level?

The new Accessibility settings don't affect me at all, but I had a little tinker in the beta and I think they are going to please a lot of people with all these quirky little settings.

 

[NullPointer]

I'm personally happy with no friend online notifications as I find them annoying, but I agree the option should be there.

It'd have to come along with a system to organize friends into groups or mark certain friends as favorites otherwise it'd be just way too much.

Curious what the colorblind support actually amounts to. Is it just for the dash stuff? Or is it a setting read in by games to enable their own colorblind settings?

 

[The Last Wizard]

I see what you did there

You got it. You turn the PS4 into rest mode and the game doesn't close.

Upon resuming from rest mode the game will still be loaded from before and you can continue straight away.

Remaping the blood born
Attack should always be set to square.

 

[AndyD]

Yeah it can get annoying a fuck.Moreover, its hell on the Vita.

It was one of my hated things on PS3. If they allow full notifications, they better also allow friend groups at the same time, with options to allow notifications by group. Those with 200+ friends would get non stop notifications otherwise.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

I don't see why it would. Or do you mean suspending a game in rest mode will be a higher Watt cost? That I don't know, but I doubt it.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Hopefully, it doesn't draw more power while suspending a game but we need to see proof of it first.

 

[benny_a]

I'll post here what it draws and if it draws more power. I have a pretty accurate electricity usage monitor.

 

[nemisis0]

Anyone know when firmware updates mainly go live in the UK?

 

[TMC]

Thanks for this. Also wondering the same thing.

 

[Khaos_Knight]

Why the hell are PS updates still being being made in Japan?

Wtf Sony give that shit to a western branch. :|

 

[Ogawa-san]

I never had issues with standby on Vita, but it's hard to trust it on a console when any power blink would make it go away. Still, it'll be great to keep a game running to get past the initial loading and logo parade.

Any word on recorded videos being bumped to 60fps like share/remote play?

 

[Vashetti]

Anyone know when firmware updates mainly go live in the UK?

9-10am in my experience.

 

[Pachimari]

I just want to be able to sort my friends into categories, will this ever be added?

I want to sort people into GAF, friends, etc. Because most people on my PSN list I don't even remember.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

I hope I don't miss it! Thank you very much.

Thats a valid concern, how does the X1 handle it?

 

[jediyoshi]

It's allowing the system to go into rest while a game is still running. Like when you put your phone to sleep while a game is running.

Any update on being able to delete 0% ps3 and VITA Games from the trophy list??

 

[texasairhead101]

So can the backed up data on an external HDD be played off it?

 

[Got the Shakes]

Any update on being able to delete 0% ps3 and VITA Games from the trophy list??

I wasn't in the beta, but I thought I remembered reading a few weeks ago that you can delete any 0% game regardless of which system it was.

 

[Vashetti]

You can delete games from any platform, but you have to be on a PS4, or the latest version of the PS App (from tomorrow), to delete them.

And they will still appear on PS3 and Vita.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

How big is the update?

 

[Card Boy]

Wish i could delete stuff under 10%. Sometimes you get a bit into a game before realizing it's shit and you will never played it again.

 

[androvsky]

Oh no. I've accidentally started a couple games on my wife's account, was hoping the ability to delete trophies was cross-platform. I'm hoping it's just an issue with the syncing on the other systems not recognizing deletes and the new Vita firmware (and hopefully soon PS3) will fix it.

This. I need that too.

 

[Pachimari]

Also agree with this.

Wish we could just hide games on our trophylist really.

Easiest way to explain it is through video:

That and some games will award a trophy pretty much as soon as you start it up.

Why would geographical location make any difference?

Or are you saying something about groups of people, rather than location?

 

[Kyoufu]

Updated OP with the US PS Blog post. They're saying it's tomorrow too so I wouldn't expect it to go live tonight.

Awesome. Alot of cool stuff added from the us blog post i didnt know before. Like the trophy sharing and party stuff.

 

[DrKelpo]

fuckin sweet, keep 'em coming

 

[bananafactory]

Lots of great stuff in this update.

 

[Boss Mog]

Will the Vita support 60fps Remote Play?

 

[Dynomutt]

So what's the main benefit of HDD back up? Isn't better to just install a bigger HDD?

 

[NotSmartEnough]

Yes update 2.50 comes out tomorrow.

 

[bananafactory]

It's for transferring. So if you get a new HDD, you can back up your old HDD to an external drive, swap, then restore from the external.

Otherwise you have to manually reconfigure all your game saves/settings etc

 

[Schrade]

Read the thread. It's in there. (In the original post)

 

[NotSmartEnough]

The backup utility is there to make installing a bigger HDD easier. You don't have to download everything again, just restore from a USB drive.

 

[NullPointer]

Yeah, I just upgraded to a 2TB HDD about a month ago, and the whole process was completely painless, EXCEPT for managing saves. You can't do anything in bulk, so you have to go into each game's individual save data to copy files. I would've appreciate this option at the time, even though it still wasn't nearly the hassle I thought it could be.

 

[jryi]

The horizontal UI is sorted by your most recently used 15 items. The Library folder can be sorted by date, last used, and game name. It takes no longer than 10 seconds to find any game on the system.

Actually you can do it faster. My godson was visiting a couple of weeks back, and I wanted to show him Need for Speed Rivals. I had no idea, when I had last played it, and didn't really feel like searching, so I just said "Playstation. Need for Speed." And the OS scrolled to Library, flashed it once to show that it's there, then scrolled down and placed the cursor on NFS icon.

The voice controls are remarkably good on PS4.

I'm personally happy with no friend online notifications as I find them annoying, but I agree the option should be there.

I think that this is one of those features that people thing they want, but if it actually was there, everybody with more than five friends in their friend list would turn it off. It would effectively be the same if you just put a piece of duct tape on the top left corner of your telly and wrote there "Somebody just logged in or out".

BTW, does anybody have any idea, how Suspend/Resume works with Destiny? Does it remember anything of the game state?

They could do something like setting "favorite" friends and only having specific notifications for those similar to what you can do on xbox one. I would want that more than a general notification.

 

[Tainted]

I'm assuming the way s/r works will be dependent of the game. An always online game such as Destiny may just kick you back to that outer space scene, which still saves that initial load

I may start using Rest mode a bit more now, I play FIFA 15 a fair bit and that initial load through all the logos, hospitality settings and all that annoys me to no end

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

I'll let you guys go first. Hopefully no bricks. Good stuff though.

 

[jryi]

For me it depends so much on what I am playing. I don't really care, if my brother logs in on his PS3 to play Diablo, if I am playing Destiny. And if I am playing The Order 1886, I don't really care, if anybody comes online, because I would not want to be bothered.

If somebody wants to play with me, they can invite me to a party. If I want to play with somebody, I will invite them to a party. There are extremely few cases when I would be interested in just knowing that any single person has started their Playstation (3/4/Vita). Or then the options would be hell to manage and explain. Rather than just putting in the option to glue a virtual piece of duct tape on the screen corner, I'd wish that Sony makes a feature that serves some purpose.

Yeah just have a list where you check off friends you want notifications for.

If the did put notifications on the ps4 I think they would limit it to people signing in on the ps4 specifically. I have some friends I like to play with that get on at weird times so it would be nice to know when they hop on and honestly the notifications don't take up that much of the screen come on now.

And they will still appear on PS3 and Vita.

so let me see if i understood it correctly :

if i delete lets say far cry 3 on a PS4 it will be deleted BUT if i log in on my PS3 the game will still show up there??

thats kinda weird and stupid to be honest...
