Let us mere mortals know what's going on!!

DragonDDark3714d ago

It's great, really. There's nothing new in this update though, or at least i didn't find anything new.

You want to know key features in the beta? here: http://blog.us.playstation....

okmrman3714d ago

"its great really, but theres nothing new"

lol

Blank3714d ago

Im mainly using it for the early access to the appear "offline" feature. It sucks because the remote play is disabled for the beta. All in all its neat but I am antsy for official release so I can remote play again. I just wanted more privacy like I did when I played PS3.

Papafynn3714d ago

Download speeds still abysmal under the 3.5 beta?

DragonDDark3714d ago

Never had issues with download speeds.

Audioflix3714d ago

I have a 50mb down speed and was only getting around 20-25 down on my ps4 before i updated to the beta, now im getting around 45 down, so they might have fixed that issue. I have a wired connection btw.

timmyp533714d ago

Mine improved by like 2x with the initial 3.5 fw.

KyRo3714d ago

It has been very slow as of late. Speed test on my laptop is hitting 50GB wireless yet get 4 on the PS4

Papafynn3714d ago

I had 50 down before the beta, that turned in 3 down when I tried downloading The Division. I uninstalled the beta and the issue was fixed. Will reinstall now, sounds like they fixed it.

Stability most likely. Might have fixed issue I had with messages always saying they were received yesterday. I'll report back.

Mr_Writer853714d ago

I got into the last FW beta yet not had any invites for 3.50

Do you have to apply for each FW update Beta?

Lasikiewicz3714d ago

Goto firmware update and choose beta

Skate-AK3714d ago

Yeah you have to apply to every firmware beta.

Mr_Writer853714d ago

@Skate

Ah cheers that will explain it.

AG66863714d ago

My PS4 runs bad using this firmware everything is slow and lagging. Little things like giving and out of friends list menu or profile is sluggish

Skate-AK3714d ago

That is why it is a Beta. They are working on optimizations. You should go to the forums and let them know because that is what you should do in a Beta.

shabz6663713d ago

has anyone tried the pc streaming functionality?

Liqu1d3713d ago

It's not available in the beta.

shabz6663713d ago

oh okay, i'm realy curious to see how well that will works.

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

Cacabunga19d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot18d 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…

HectixRose19d 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.

JEECE19d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername18d 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.

Soy19d 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.

Ashunderfire8618d 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.

Ashunderfire8618d ago (Edited 18d 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.

pwnmaster300019d 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
