External HDD Support for PS4 confirmed!!!! up to 8TB!!!! games/applications and all.. the whole shebang!

Crazyglues3387d ago (Edited 3387d ago )

Just Wow, I'm speechless.... :) /and finally custom wallpapers.... OMG! too excited right now..

Kingthrash3603387d ago (Edited 3387d ago )

Well that is just awsome! Took a while but finally they added it. What's boost mode though (for the pro)

Edit: just saw genuine-user post.....dammmmm that's just killer. They pull that off and it's a pretty big thing to have all your games boosted...man time to replay tons of games. If some hit 60fps that would be huge for me. I could care less for 4k...but boosted frame rate is where it's at!

darthv723387d ago

External hdd supprt.... YES!!!!!

MVGeneral3387d ago (Edited 3387d ago )

Sony is really taking 2017 by storm.

Ashlen3386d ago (Edited 3386d ago )

Cool, great update, in fact all the big updates have featured things that were requested, Sony has been listening.

External hard drives is excellent. And the quick menu has been one of my favorite features so far. And the Pro Speed Boost is fantastic.

3386d ago
starchild3386d ago

Sony is really firing on all cylinders. I'm truly impressed. This update is one of the best ever. Nah, scratch that. If it has the boost mode (has that been confirmed?) it is for sure the best PS4 update ever.

morganfell3386d ago

I got my invite for the beta today. DL the software on PSN by redeeming the code they send via email. Booted up perfectly. You do have to re-pair your controllers the first time and after that Boom. The Boost Mode is under the System Settings. Just check the box and that's it. There is a caption that says to disable it if you notice any unusual behavior in games. But everything so far works great.

sackboyhappy3386d ago

Soon we'll have all the features back from the PS3, slowly but surely, one by one, ha
it's puzzling why they took away so many features that we had on the PS3 in the first place

PS4 Pro boost mode:

I hope this is real.

UCForce3387d ago

Wow ! That's a freaking amazing.

thekhurg3387d ago

Me too. I was under the impression that many games are programmed for 30fps though. Like it's hard coded in. I wonder how this boost mode will impact those games.

ninsigma3387d ago

Oooohhhh that would be cool!

Fishy Fingers3387d ago

Some maybe locked to 30/60fps but we've heard that about PC games before, yet some dude at home manages to crack and unlock within hours of release.

Pretty sure it wouldn't pose a massive problem that Sonys dev team couldnt overcome.

TitanUp3387d ago (Edited 3387d ago )

This will probably have games running at their intended frame rate should make most games stable.

If a game is hitting 26 instead of 30 or 55 instead of 60 probably the best people can hope for.

butchertroll3387d ago

Curious to see Just Cause 3. That game is a mess on PS4/Xbone. How this game will run with Boost mode. We'll see

ONESHOTV23387d ago

Genuine-User---what's the point in that feature if i cant play my old PS3 exclusives at a higher frame and better res ? if i wanted to play recent games at a higher frames with maxed setting then i would go to my PC for that. if only sony could just give us a chance to play those older games then i wouldnt be complaining about the system so much and before anyone start being a smart ass with oh i didnt buy a console to play old games, then that's good for you becuase i'm not stupid enough to say that games come with expiration dates and they shouldn't be played because they are old. then those same people would say oh yes PS NOW is a good plan or buying remasters when most of us already own the games, so why not let us play them for free.

DogJosha3387d ago

@thekhurg

Look at Bloodborne as an example. It may possibly be limited to 30 fps, but it is often running as low as 15 fps. When the Pro was announced, I was excited thinking that games like BB will finally be playable without these huge fps drops. Other games have this problem too. Allowing the Pro to beef up fps in older games is definitely the right move, and should have been done since the beginning.

G20WLY3387d ago

^@ONESHOTV2, are you done arguing with yourself? Lmao, get help NOW!

yippiechicken3387d ago

Just keeps getting better and better.

Vystrel3387d ago (Edited 3386d ago )

My biggest complaint of my PS4 Pro was seeing zero difference in non-pro enhanced games. I hope this means 60fps GTA V! Or at least completely solid 30fps.

starchild3386d ago

Yeah, I saw this in another article here. If it's real it will vastly increase the value of the Pro. Being able to hit a consistent 30fps or 60fps in all or nearly all previously released games will be incredible.

GoodnessGreatness3386d ago

Thank goodness I bought a PS4 Pro

I do preferer internal hdd, but it is a nice feature

RosweeSon3386d ago

100% internal all the way, these companies do everything they can to make small consoles and then release smaller versions of existing consoles that people lap up and then are happy with an external drive however small you want to imagine it dangling stacked on the console more cables... no thanks either bump up the standard hard drives or as it's so ridiculously easy just swap the drives over did mine when I got it 2TB sorted... still bit squeezed for space tho ;)

The_KELRaTH3386d ago

For the Xbox the main advantage comes if you wanted to upgrade your console as you dont need to create a backup etc. , just unplug ext drive and plug into new console and continue as normal.
Ive got a 2tb drive internal half filled in PS4 and it would be a pain to switch to PS4 Pro but if the ext works like Xbox it will be less time consuming. ie. take 2tb out and put it back into ext case and plug into
PS4 pro or copy to a new ext hd and plug that into PS4 Pro.

ZeroX98763387d ago

Already got my 4 TB ready :)

ZaWarudo3387d ago

NIIIIICE! i was too lazy to pop open the PS4 and do all the shenanigans with downloading updates on a separate usb blah blah.

DaMist3387d ago

Hell Yes! I've been asking for this for what feels like such a long time now, I'm excited.

RosweeSon3386d ago

Woohoo that'll shut a few people up who can't use a screwdriver.

MRMagoo1233386d ago

so it's adding pretty much everything anyone ever asked for in the one patch, yet unfortunately there will still be people that complain, I'm getting a ps4 pro in about 12 days I'm looking forward to all this new stuff 😊

MatrixxGT3386d ago

And I'm sitting over here like...custom wallpapers! Finally!

bangoskank3386d ago

Awesome! Way to go Sony! That's how you make your user base happy.

Muzikguy3386d ago

Wow this will be one of the better updates so far! (IMO) I can't wait to finally be able to change my wallpaper to something more personal and download all my games to keep on the hard drive instead of constantly deleting. Come to think of it, I new a bigger external. I'd better go get one

Cacabunga15d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot14d 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…

HectixRose15d 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.

JEECE15d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername14d 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.

Soy15d ago

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

DarXyde15d 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.

Ashunderfire8615d 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.

Ashunderfire8615d ago (Edited 15d 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.

pwnmaster300015d 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.

solideagle15d 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

Relientk7715d ago

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