PS4 'Yukimura' 2.50 Update Apparently Has Another Hidden Gem

Of course the suspend and resume function is the biggest new feature introduced with the 2.50 'Yukimura' update but it would seem another undetailed feature has been introduced with the patch.

Feature seems to work pretty well, finally I can have my headset on while hearing my friends from my home cinema set.

FITgamer4069d ago

Just curious. Why would you want the chat audio to pass through your speaker system while wearing a headset?

HatsuneMikuDes4069d ago

Because you only use the headset for its mic?

Clown_Syndr0me4069d ago

It's a good feature for when youre with other people.
example, me and two friends took turns on an online game, using the headset to talk with other gamers. Bit of banter, trash talk etc. But without this feature the two not playing could only hear half the conversations.
Basically it's just more social and involving for others in the room.

FITgamer4069d ago

@clown_Syndr0me Ok, didn't think of that scenario, maakes sense.

DLConspiracy4068d ago (Edited 4068d ago )

I am pretty sure this is done for people who want to stream games through a hardware capture device connected to their computer. As you cannot hear the party or lobby chat while playing with online players before this update. You could only hear them in the headset which means your viewers could not. In fact this may also mean the software twitch app would also pick up the chat audio now too although I have not tried.

aCasualGamer4068d ago

Can someone please tell me why Resume/play doesn't work for me?

I've done every setting correctly in "energy save settings" but it doesn't work.

It just turns off my PS4. and when i turn it back on it starts from the PS Logo and then boots the system and i have to login again.

thorstein4068d ago

Any split screen online game can feature chat now, where all players are included. You can just set up a mic now.

Jubez1874068d ago

When you have more than 1 person at your house.

I have even paused and resumde BloodBorne when going to pee just to see that beauty booting up in 7 secs.

This appears to brick the PS4 where Sony is charging you $150 to fix the brick...

#4theplayers .... ya right.

Such a foolish comment. Under the bridge you go troll!

RealityModeler4068d ago (Edited 4068d ago )

@ManOfTheYear1, I agree, and it amazes me how Sony fans blindly defend Sony, as if everyone is pathetic, foolish, and trolling for pointing out an article on a PS4 SITE about this firmware (OT). These sort of articles appear to be as much of a trend as the blind disagreements with anything that doesn't glorify Sony. MS clearly wins as far as customer service, and for those wondering how MS fans can be loyal, that is one of many reasons why.

Didn't brick mine or millions of others. hard luck

waiting for game audio to both TV and headset simultaneously! sucks when I use my headset that the game goes silent to anyone in the room.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4068d ago

You can already do that. The chat audio will be lowered though so you'll barely be able hear your friends. I was doing this in Bloodborne. Just have to turn down the game audio in the settings and boost the volume on the headset.

BoriboyShoGUN4067d ago (Edited 4067d ago )

i'll check it out thanks!

Why does Sony always hide things? we wanna know everything about the update.

JoGam4069d ago (Edited 4069d ago )

Because even the Updates are games. See who can find the hidden features. LOL.

Jokes aside, I thought the same thing. Sony should just list everything.

Forbidden_Darkness4069d ago

It's a good way to spread word about the update itself and Playstation 4 in general. It's kinda like easter eggs, rare items and such in video games... It's gets people talking about their products.

TheTwelve4068d ago

It's fun and all secrets are found within 24 hours anyway. You know people.

Clown_Syndr0me4069d ago

This and the new trophy features are more important to be than suspend and resume. I'll never use that as I always power my console down completely.

KwietStorm_BLM4069d ago

Always? Between charging my controller and headset, and downloading updates in the background, rest mode is invaluable for me.

XisThatKid4069d ago

Not I, and millions of others Rest mode all day.

himdeel4068d ago

Yep mine stays in rest mode. And remote play via vita has almost no noticeable lag now. Very impressed by boyh updates.

solid_snake36564069d ago

You should only power down if you won't be playing for a while, or if you're planning on unplugging your console. Completely powering on and off will put a lot of wear and tear on your console.

GordonKnight4068d ago

A lot of wear and tear on the power supply.

NobleRed4069d ago (Edited 4069d ago )

The news/title is misleading. Before the 2.5 update you had to use a trick to get the voice chat running.

I'm talking about sound from optical and voice chat via usb without using the Astro mixamp.

Now you just select TV or AV Amplifier and you can get the audio from optical and voice chat via usb.

You just need a cheap usb sound card and voila you don't need to waste your money and buy an astro mixamp.

destroyerz14069d ago

When i connect my USB headset on the PS4, the HDMI audio is muted. How to fix this problem? I want the audio out (game) in HDMI and headset at the same time. :/

JAM_brz4069d ago

Someone answer me, please.

My PS4 cooler keep working hard and with high noise when in Rest Mode now.

Is it because of the Suspend/Resume feature with an aplicattion opened? Or is it just mine?

Thanks!

KwietStorm_BLM4069d ago

Are you saying your fan is loud in rest mode? If so, then I couldn't tell you why that is. Is it constant? Does it do it every time now?

Rimeskeem4068d ago

It happens to mine for a second or so but then stops.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot17d 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…

HectixRose18d 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.

JEECE18d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername17d 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.

Soy18d ago

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

DarXyde18d 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.

Ashunderfire8617d 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.

Ashunderfire8617d ago (Edited 17d 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.

pwnmaster300018d 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.

solideagle18d 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

Relientk7718d ago

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