Rumor: PS4 System Software 3.5’s Beta Test Starting on March 3rd

Yesterday Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the testing of its 3.5 system software update, mentioning that it would start in “early March.” Today, a further tidbit of information was provided by industry insider Tidux, who correctly leaked system software release dates before.

Brought to you by the guy who was wrong yet knew everything that was going to happen on the PlayStation Experience 2016

And that correctly leaked the release date of at least two major PS4 firmware updates.

ShinMaster3780d ago

Aren't major updates on x.00 firmware releases? Not x.50?

Griever3780d ago

@Shin

The 0.5 and the .00 updates are both considered major because they represent significant upgrade/progress. The inbetween ones are minor.

Mr Pumblechook3780d ago (Edited 3780d ago )

Tidux doesn't know chicken-poop. He never reveals any news, he just waits until news has broken then makes a series of educated guesses, of which I could do. Up until Project Morpheus was revealed he knew NOTHING. Then after it was revealed he shared all his 'insider' information about the games Sony is developing for it.

Now with the new firmware beta did he break the news? No. AFTER it was revealed he gave the month it was releasing in. Now if this beta sign-up follows the time frame of the last one it will obviously be March. It's hardly going to drop in April.

And his lie about PSN ID name changes being revealed at PSX, he even had Colin & Greg believing him!

Not me. If you think I'm being cynical remember this bit of advice: TIDUX DOESN'T BREAK NEWS, HE ONLY EVER ADDS 'INFO' TO NEWS THAT HAS ALREADY BROKEN.

Good day to you all. :)

I so hope its got folders, external HDD, friend notifications, custom themes and backgrounds, autosync (on trophies) and appear offline. I'd also like to see a trophy tracker like on X1 and the trophies give the description of what unlocked it (also like on the X1).

Also, lower the memory footprint of game saves as 10.5MB or even 3.15MB is to much. Also, let us upload all our screenshots and videos to the cloud.

Mr Pumblechook3780d ago

I'm guessing this will definitely be the update that brings compatibility with the Windows 10 version of Quantum Break...

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

Cacabunga58d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot56d 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…

HectixRose58d 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.

JEECE58d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername57d 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.

Soy58d ago

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

DarXyde57d 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.

Ashunderfire8657d 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.

Ashunderfire8657d ago (Edited 57d 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.

pwnmaster300057d 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.

solideagle57d 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

Relientk7757d ago

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