We’ve already shared some of the key features last month, like external HDD support and custom wallpapers, but that wasn’t all this update has to offer. Here’s a look at some additional features heading to your system soon" .

Custom wallpapers, nice! And boost mode is of course great for those who own a PS4 Pro.

No pro for me but i do like that I can put my old 3.5" 500gb seagate to good use. I was going to use it on the wiiu but that one has a 320gb and is fine the way it is.

So with this update, all 3 of my 8th gen systems will have expanded storage. Wiiu with 8gb internal / 320gb external, xb1 with 500gb internal / 500gb external and ps4 with 750gb internal / 500gb external.

External HDD support, boost mode for pro and custom wallpapers!!! F#@KING awesome!

Eventually cupofjoe... eventually. I'm just using what i have now before i go out and get something else. That 500gb will yield me another 10-12 games worth of installs (depending on game size). It's better than nothing.

my only question is the PS4 Pro Boost mode.

I mean can I just go to the settings and turn it on and leave it be.

I mean I could play a game that has a PS4 Pro patch like BF1 for a few hours and then turnaround and start playing Bloodborne or something.

So I guess my question is.. can I just set the PS4 Pro Boost Mode to ON just one time. or do I have to make the conscious effort to remember if the game has PS4 Pro support or not and only go into the settings and turn it on when I'm playing a non-Pro patched game.

I know the Boost Mode doesn't further benefit games that already have the PS4 Pro Patch. but could playing a game that has a Pro Patch while Boost Mode is turned on cause any problems?

ziggurcat3400d ago (Edited 3400d ago )

@sweet:

boost mode doesn't affect/isn't applied to any game that already has a pro patch. there'd be no reason to turn off the feature, but you are able to in the system settings.

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

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot61d 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…

HectixRose62d 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.

JEECE62d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername61d 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.

Soy62d ago

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

DarXyde62d 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.

Ashunderfire8662d 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.

Ashunderfire8662d ago (Edited 62d 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.

pwnmaster300062d 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.

solideagle62d 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

Relientk7762d ago

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