lol really? They've been detailing this firmware for months.

donthate4273d ago (Edited 4273d ago )

It's kind of ironic though. Sony has been talking about releasing an update for months, in the meanwhile MS released several major updates in between.

I suppose I should be happy a feature filled updates instead of a meaningless featureless one that just takes up my time is releasing.

Yay! :D

Flamingweazel4273d ago

@donthate.....this update has more in it then 3 MS updates.......so irrelevant.

KwietStorm_BLM4273d ago

28 disagrees? So Sony hasn't been talking about it for months? I swear..this site is asinine.

frezhblunts4273d ago

Yeah they have, shouldn't be a surprise, people hate on this site badly

JDabney244273d ago

@kwietstorm The problem with the agree/disagrees on this site is that they aren't helpful at any level. People should only be able to agree or disagree with someone with an explanation as to why they agreed or disagreed with a persons statement, opinion, and/or fact. Without an explanation they do little to help add to the discussion. Just a trolls paradise.

Xb1ps44273d ago

What will the update have? And what's USB music? I hope it's not more back end stuff!

Saigon4273d ago

@KwietStorm

While I agree with what you are saying, how you said it why you are getting disagrees. Honestly no one knew they were going to announce it for October, honestly most thought it was going to happen in November.

PONTIAC08G8GT4273d ago

@flamingweazel

X1 has been doing monthly updates since the launch and another one is coming in November. Take all the MS updates and this PS one still doesn't come close, A+ for effort though.

On topic, this is an excellent update for PS owners. The game share feature is such a great update. I could careless about being able to play my own music during a game, thats why I have a stereo system, but the game sharing is #1. Nice job Sony.

UnwanteDreamz4272d ago

Wait hold on the PSBlog they said they will be more features announced for the update hmmmmmmm I wonder what they are.

Salooh4273d ago

Last comment for me here at N4G , i think they will add arabic language to the system but it's only important for the people that know it. That one thing that doesn't show up in the description ..

Jumper094273d ago

Sony said the same in April when they released the Sharefactory thingy... there is not more...

Probably stability, thats it

Clover9044273d ago

Hope it releases in the North American store as well.

C-H-E-F4273d ago

well it had to come out before Far Cry did... (since they are implementing the tech with "KEYS") c'mon guys/gals.

inmusicutrust4273d ago

That's in farcry, this is a completely separate system from what I understand. This is essentially remote play, the farcry links you through their own servers. It works on ps3 and you get 10 2 hour keys. Pretty sure it's totally different tech but I could be wrong

spacedelete4273d ago

i knew this update would come one year exactly on the anniversary or am i wrong on that ? did Ps4 release on 28th last year?

Eonjay4273d ago

November 15th in NA. November 22nd elsewhere.

Rock-Lee4273d ago

November 29th in Europe

jjonez184273d ago (Edited 4273d ago )

The last major firmware update was back in March, when Infamous Second Son launched... "Sooner than expected" wouldn't be the phrase I would use. This update is more than overdue. Better late than never, I suppose.

donthate4273d ago

Actually on the PS4, the phrase is "better features than none", I suppose!

:D

jjonez184273d ago (Edited 4273d ago )

@Donthat
This update is great. Sony delivers, just not in a timely fashion. Background music, Themes/wallpapers, Youtube, and SharePlay all should have been available day1.

I'm pretty excited !! Time to share...

AC2020x4273d ago

Now the question is... What secrets will the update include for us!
Can't wait!

Ron_Danger4273d ago

One secret will be 3 people having their consoles get bricked from it, them being very vocal about it online, which will result in 100 articles about a widespread bricking epidemic from 2.0.

I wish I was being sarcastic but it seems like this happens any time Sony releases a new major update. The media blows small problems way out of proportion

Palitera4273d ago

And also doesn't report the gigantic problems the PS4 has, build quality wise. Big loss on both sides.

Palitera4273d ago

Auto eject infinite loop.
Games disappearing.
Messages take 4 minutes to appear.
Friends list does not load.
Console does not reset properly.
DS4 rubber torn apart in one month.
DS4 random left stick directions.

Those are the "insignificant" issues I remember from the top of my head. Seriously, I am a mainly PS gamer from the beginning, but I'm not blind as a fanboy. Your sheep behavior is what makes it not get fixed.

rainslacker4273d ago

PS4 has a safe mode which can restore the firmware to factory default to prevent bricking. If we see people complaining about it, and the subsequent articles, we can just tell them to go read the owners manual.

Jumper094273d ago

There wont be any Secret Features... Sony said the same with the March Update etc...

That list you got, is was you will see.

Im already have all this on Xbone and more.

SharePlay? Yeah enjoy playing games with a lot of Input lag...

Akuma2K4273d ago

Very cool news, can hardly wait.

DeadlyOreo4273d ago (Edited 4273d ago )

So hyped for this. Never thought I'd be this excited for an update.

solid_snake36564272d ago

Last time is was this excited for an update is when the in game xmb came out for ps3

WickedLester4272d ago

Exactly. People who complain about PS4's lack of updates tend to forget how bare bones the PS3 was when it first came out.

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.

Cacabunga68d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot67d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose68d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE68d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername67d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy68d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde67d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8667d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8667d ago (Edited 67d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300068d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle68d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7767d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
