It would be nice if someone translated thes pics, looks great tbh i love the youtube steaming,10gb storage and communities cant wait to make my own group with my youtube subs. PSN is as social as ever. No longer will xbox have that advantage like in the 360 days. I wanna have a big UC4 MP community!! CLAN WARS!!! Still need favorite friends, friend is online notifications and PSN name change tho

WowSoChill3923d ago (Edited 3923d ago )

360 invented most of the things PS4 has today, achievements, party chat, messaging

Xbox One is still doing a couple things that PS4 isn't, but the community thing sounds cool, lets see how well its implemented first though

RosweeSon3923d ago

360 invented? Maybe you mean the Dreamcast. But yeah Xbox does a few things that ps4 doesn't mainly sit on the shelves gathering dust ;)

RobLoPR3923d ago

Funny causevin my house the one gathering dust is my PS4 with its weak PS+ games lineup. Who cares if games look better... give me more great games PS+... otherwise this is your last 3 months.

DarXyde3923d ago (Edited 3923d ago )

Achievements are something taken from specific games that predates Xbox 360 and made global. I'd hardly say Microsoft invented it, but I am sure Sony drew inspiration from that move.

Same goes for party chat and messaging. Both of those predate even Xbox. Achievements I'll give you, but the other two seem more like the natural evolution of an online infrastructure.

And for what it is worth, PlayStation 4 is still doing a few things Xbox One is not as well. That is literally the point of buying both.

Shazz3924d ago

says in u.s blog this wasnt all features just the ones they are excited about so im hopeful friends notifications are in there just so the machine feels fully online, im weird but i ejoy seeing whos coming on and offline

Aenea3923d ago

But I do hope they allow us to select which notifications it sends per friend (and with the new group features per Groups of Friends) otherwise I will simply turn it off with my 400+ 'friends'...

Something tells me they wanted to implement Communities and Friend Groups first...

Zombiesfeelpain3924d ago

Let's hope folders, friend offline and online notifications are not to far behind. :D

Peace_Love_and_FPS3924d ago

Something tells me you're 12.5% against what he said there

BitbyDeath3924d ago

Yes, we get to group friends into folders with this update but no mention of groups for games and apps...

Aceman183923d ago

I'm the exact opposite I have majority of my notifications turned off because I constantly get annoyed seeing that little box popping up on my screen lol.

I keep them active on the phone app though, but I generally have to remember to look at it to see if I got any lol.

Generally I just click the friends list to see who's on or not since it's not a big deal to me.

0to1003924d ago

wow

still can't see if your friends are online.

just wow sony, wow.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga32d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot31d 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…

HectixRose32d 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.

JEECE32d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername31d 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.

Soy32d ago

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

DarXyde31d 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.

Ashunderfire8631d 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.

Ashunderfire8631d ago (Edited 31d 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.

pwnmaster300032d 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.

solideagle31d 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

Relientk7731d ago

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