I like the change in the store, and PS+ might be sign of something interesting to come.

Liqu1d3288d ago

How? It's literally just a slightly redesigned logo.

Or they just wanted to polish stuff up.

letsa_go3288d ago

I am kinda curious....in your mind, what is this "something interesting" that is coming, based on the redesigned logo?

BioDead3288d ago

Seems like Sony is going the same path as... lets say Google, Apple... I liked when Sony/Playstation was original, this is just a huge shame.

PlayStation said on Twitter that there are some new tournament features added in the update. I've not used the tournaments before but might have a look in to it when Tekken 7 arrives through my post box in a fee days!

You are indeed correct, not sure why you are getting disagrees!

XisThatKid3288d ago

Not because I if the comment. It's they didn't like the update. Our something if that nature. Up/downvote doesn't have to be directly respondent to the content itself but the subject at hand. Some people are just asses like that too.

so, sony decides to bring out a random update on same day that dlc for mafia3 and GR:wildlands comes out??? real smart, sony. smh

holdmyown833288d ago

Games nobody are even playing

MAULxx3288d ago

I'm still playing GR WL. Got 119 hours in it.

Aenea3288d ago

Every single day there are updates to games, new releases, DLC releasing, etc., etc.

Idiotic post is idiotic *shakes head*

TheUndertaker853288d ago

Ugh. It's awkward to watch fanboys jump on what they think is a kill only to see their shots veer far left.

Today is May 30th. That places today nearer to the end of the month than anything. There are still internet providers in the world that have caps and some monsterously low caps.

300MB with a connection with no caps, sure isn't a big deal but most of those don't have bandwidth issues either. 300MB at the end of the month with a connection with caps can be extremely costly. Particularly when the biggest "features" of this update are altering names/slightly altering icons plus "system stability".

Further the Mafia 3 DLC requires an update to Mafia 3 then 2.8GB more for the DLC.

Just wait 2 days for new month to begin and download it, problem solved :)

deathtok3288d ago

"Today is May 30th. That places today nearer to the end of the month than anything."

May 31st is sad you forgot about her big day :(

TheUndertaker853287d ago

You quoted me then misinterpreted the quote. Directly.

Nearer to the end of the month is not the same as stating the end of the month. Further not all billing cycles end on the last day of the month or the first day of the month.

Then that's still eliminating content that same user downloads throughout the month. Game updates, downloading new content, and multiplayer all also play a role with consoles for individuals with caps.

Further if it is a required update you WILL lose functionality until the software update is installed.

My cap doesn't cycle until the 9th of every month. Game updates tend to run anywhere from a few hundred MB much like this update to 10+GB. Further there's game downloads out there ranging from a few hundred MB to 60+GB. Even signing into online services takes data.

My cap is 350GB a month. Sadly when it comes to capped providers most offer much less. Before someone jumps on the "better provider" bandwagon be aware that in my area I do have the best possible provider by price, cap limit, and speeds. "Rural areas" in particular don't get options.

rainslacker3288d ago

Updates come out on Tuesdays. Can't help it if other games also release on Tuesday.

Xavi4K3288d ago

are you for real?

if you have big library well not so big... you will expect an update for this or that every other day also the update was ~400mb so with average connection I don't beleive anyone will face any issues.

The icons didn't really change that much. Most just dropped PlayStation from their names. 🙄

Thought this'd be something interesting. Far from it.

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

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

Cacabunga33d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot32d 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…

HectixRose33d 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.

JEECE33d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername32d 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.

Soy33d ago

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

DarXyde32d 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.

Ashunderfire8632d 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.

Ashunderfire8632d ago (Edited 32d 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.

pwnmaster300033d 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.

solideagle32d 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

Relientk7732d ago

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