This is pretty disappointing for a new whole number update. There's still plenty of things that PS4 needs fixing

Needs more stability!! Lol

spreadlove3157d ago

Bugs. Major bugs. Like version 5.0 bugs.

Retroman3157d ago (Edited 3157d ago )

Need to be more Stable as Starman below mention .
my ps4 almost every 3 days now Automatically crash, shut down re-start asking me to report C-e00598 or whatever # it is to Sony every 3 days . Ps4 not a year old yet bought it in May.

This 5.00 update helped None

jc123157d ago

I'm having a boatload of issues with my Pro tonight. Upon startup it has frozen 3 times, forcing me to hold down the power button and reset it. When I finally got in, I got an update error. Friggin mess right now.

Crazyglues3157d ago

@ GT67

You have a hard-drive problem, this has nothing to do with the update, I would guess your hard-drive has a bad sector, this could have been caused by one or two things... a game you downloaded or a game updating and didn't update right... you need to delete this game and re-download.... this should take care of the problem / also do a restore of licenses after you re-download the game...

Knushwood Butt3157d ago

I have a Pro.

Installed 5.0 yesterday but no issues so far.

I don't understand why this update was code name Nabunaga. Why would Sony give it such a powerful name if this is all they had planned for FW 5.0

lol. This isn't a major version number. It's more like the minor version number. You know, bump it from 4.5.0 to 4.5.1.

Make sure you send in your personal list of requested features, we'll all do the same that way Sony wont "disappoint" anyone..

How is that a whole number update? It's lacking...a lot.

WePlayDirty3158d ago

Hello Foxtrot... what would YOU have liked to see for update v5.00?

-Foxtrot3158d ago

You know that long list of features you can find on like most comment sections and even places like Reddit...all of that

Changes people actually want tbh

Dragonscale3157d ago

@kwiet, PS4 has the option to create custom wallpapers, it came with the last update. I currently have a fantastic Horizon wallpaper along with a few others. Its a great feature tbh.

spreadlove3157d ago

System wide super sampling would be nice, and boost mode that works correctly instead of, you are on your own.

dantesparda3157d ago

@KwietStorm

5.00 does give more options on what to backup and restore its not all or nothing, go take a look and you'll see.

oof463157d ago

Maybe with a codename like Nobunaga, he was expecting something more ambitious.

AspiringProGenji3158d ago (Edited 3158d ago )

what else can Sony come up with? They have added tons of features in previous updates that have either been requested for so long or new stuff like shareplay. I don't think there's more they can add unless it is a new feature. I personally want more new share features

Master of Unlocking3158d ago (Edited 3158d ago )

What else can Sony come up with, let's see...

-Support in the PS4 Media Player for H265 a.k.a x265 for both full hd resolution (1920x1080) and Ultra HD resolution (3840x2160), in .mkv or any other container, support for dts, dts es, dts hd master audio, dts x, FLAC soundtracks, etc.
-add an option to change the soundtrack and the subtitle when you're watching a video, this kind of omission is cringeworthy
-option to sort your messages in that looooooo-------oooong conversation you can have with your friends. That FB-style page is really cool compared to the old messages on the PS3, until you try to find an old one accompanied by a photo a friend sent to ya, which brings me to...
-option to attach other things than just a photo or a screenshot to a message, like an mp3 or a video or a game save
-add support for GIFs, really, this time around, with pics/icons that actually move, in your messages
-add PS1 games BC and make it so you can download and play-for free-the ones you bought on the PS3
-add a sh!t-ton of other PS2 games
-make at least some PS3 digital games playable on the PS4 (After Burner Climax, Daytona USA, Peggle... can't be that difficult)
-add audio cd support and an option to copy it to the HDD to play our own selection of songs in games that allow it (like GT5 or Wipeout HD on the PS3)
-add copy/paste option in the web browser (can't even believe they forgot that one when it was there on the PS3)
-support for custom avatars
-go back to the old itemised system for notifications
-and I suppose an option to change your PSN handle, since apparently a lot of people want it...

Just a few suggestions. Yeah, there's quite a lot of things Sony still need to add...

WePlayDirty3158d ago

@Master

“Need” to add? ok....

KwietStorm_BLM3157d ago

There is a LOT they can add.

SurgicalMenace3157d ago

Wow you would swear you guys have done all that Sony has in the last 20 years how you're talking about what they should be doing. All this complaining as though they owe you something, gaming is a luxury not an entitlement. All these list that you all have made, without once coming to the conclusion that most of you perhaps have dead end jobs with the Playstation being your only example of achievement. Sony is doing a great job in supplying a source of entertainment to an ungrateful community of people, so if you don't like their system there are other options. Furthermore, you could also take the time to develop your own multi billion dollar company and show them how it is done, otherwise just be thankful you have the opportunity to even play.

Yeah, I’m sure for some people these features are welcome. I play with my best friend online, and that’s about as far as I go with these social features. I don’t use Facebook, I don’t have a Twitter account. I feel like these updates are for a much younger crowd.
It’s definitely underwhelming as a numbered update, no doubt.
Not that I don’t enjoy my PS4 for what o use it for. Not everything has to be to my liking when I get the games that I personally like.

Maybe because they base whole number iterations on their development and not your personal expectations.

I didn't see those in the update notes. Those are welcome.

Chaosdreams3158d ago

*Slow, confused clap*

I uh. Cheers?

They've certainly done work but it's on the smaller scale of small. Oh well. Always another update, and another.

SheenuTheLegend3158d ago

this is the most stupid update ever released. if you got a broken blu ray drive. this thing will semi brick your console and if somehow you manage to make it work once again, you will find that you are unable to update and sign in.

KwokXi3157d ago

Is that what the issue is????????? My PS4 disc drive doesn't work and I've been buying games digitally and I can't update, is it seriously the disc drive?? Please let me know if you can find a work around because I just bought Yakuza Kiwami yesterday and now I can't sign in to play it.

Gwiz3157d ago

@ SheenuTheLegend

Not sure if it's only a Bluray drive issue.I could tell that my external HDD was
under full load after the system updated.It seemed like there's something wrong with checking all attached partitions as well.So after a check comes up invalid it will lock you out of online services.

(Theory) pretty bad if you ask me.

jaycptza3157d ago

Actually I heard its because people that have replaced the Blu-ray dray with a third party suppliers' drive. It seems like it's a firmware "marrying" issue (probably security keys)

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot27d 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…

HectixRose28d 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.

JEECE28d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername27d 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.

Soy28d ago

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

DarXyde28d 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.

Ashunderfire8628d 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.

Ashunderfire8628d ago (Edited 28d 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.

pwnmaster300028d 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.

solideagle28d 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

Relientk7728d ago

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