Can’t wait for kernel exploit 5.50 to finally be released.

nucky642807d ago

it's kind of sad that's the sort of thing you look forward to.

PirosThe4th2807d ago

True now that 6.00 got release.
5.55 will be hacked!!

FallenAngel19842807d ago

I hope this being a whole number update that it’d come with a lot of substantial stuff

On a side note it’s interesting to see that PS4 received update 6.00 today and Switch will receive update 6.0.0 next week

"I hope this being a whole number update that it’d come with a lot of substantial stuff"

it doesn't, sadly. it comes with a whole lot of nothing.

chris2352806d ago

your hope is going to be so scattered :P

vicheous2807d ago

Better search function on the PSN store is in this update!

zivtheawesome2807d ago

that is not part of the update, i had that with a 5.5 version. it was an update to their store not the OS.

ziggurcat2807d ago

That was available for anyone, it was not a 6.00 feature. They update the store independently of the FW.

zivtheawesome2807d ago

so far... i don't see anything changed. hopefully, sony are waiting for increased adoption of the system update to enable name change.

Master of Unlocking2807d ago

Stop being deluded, "increased adoption of the system update"...LOL. They're never going to add it, they won't, they can't, It's probably a bit of both, the people at Sony in charge of developping these FW updates are incompetent slackers, I have dowloaded FW update 6.0, it's been on my PS4 Pro for over an hour, there's NOTHiNG new, no BC with PS1 titles, no PSN handle change, no support for HEVC/H.265, no nothing people want, Sony's FW updates are a joke, they should let their devs like Naughty Dog or Guerilla Games handle them, but nooo, somewhere (probably in Japan) you have a tiny team of broken arms that insists to try and show that they can, but we all know they don't have a clue, and simply obey Sony that tell them to just implement counter-piracy measures in these trash FW updates and not bother with anything else and just type the same old "improves system stability" drivel, because hey, why not? We're so far ahead of the competition this gen, right? Who cares what the users of our product want when we've sold over double the amount of systems our main comp'?
Well let me say this: I hope next gen Sony take a beating and are stuck in 2nd or 3rd position. THEN we'll get stuff we'll ask for in our FW updates, mark my words. Well, not that I'll care because I'm so fed up with that sh!t company's incomprehensible whims that I'll probably have moved on to PC, because I'm not going to keep supporting a company that openly expresses disdain for their consumers when they should be kissing their feet.

generic-user-name2807d ago

Shawn Layden heavily implied it's being worked on at last PSX and when he was asked on stage he said something along the lines of 'let's put it this way, I'm hoping you won't need to ask me the same question this time next year'.

zivtheawesome2807d ago

i'm pretty sure someone who decompiled the previous system update found in their that the user id was already changed internally to numbers instead of a name, not impossible to imagine that they added the option to actually change the name id with this update once adoption rate increases.

crazyCoconuts2807d ago

Lol, can't I'm as angry as you are about it, but I don't understand why they wouldn't at least have a few developers constantly enhancing the firmware. They were good earlier in the PS4 lifecycle with adding features but seems like they're nearing completion now. Maybe those guys are already working on the firmware for the next PlayStation?

chrisco84au2807d ago

Triggered?
That was a bit of an excessive rant do we not think?

Vizigoth042807d ago

You probably don't play any PS4 videogames on top of all that rant do you?

yeahokwhatever2806d ago

its as if you dont understand what a firmware update is...

Sm30002806d ago

Master of unlocking, you may have come off a little rough around the edges, but you're not off the mark. True words sometime hurt. But of course, the Sony stans here will not have that, hence the downvotes.
Witty replies sure to follow. (Btw, I love sony since the 90s)

I was in the beta, they didn’t add a damned thing. Absolutely terrrible.

Liqu1d2807d ago

That makes no sense. If name changes were part of 6.00 then it would be there from day 1.

chris2352807d ago (Edited 2807d ago )

i don‘t have even turned on notifications of dudes going on- or offline. the only functions i am using on my ps4 is youtube, netflix and games. to me personally the psn gets worse with every update. so much unnecessary stuff, what do i care about what other dudes are playing or doing or not doing. so much potential for a great user experience wasted. good thing the ps4 is delivering on its core business: great games.

ApocalypseShadow2807d ago (Edited 2807d ago )

You must not have relatives or friends.

But, it is your choice after all.

Hopefully there is some good improvements. My dash slows down sometimes. And I get booted out of the store when I'm browsing too long. Unless it's crashing for no reason.

Deathdeliverer2807d ago

I like seeing what others are doing/ have done because it helps me see potential invites for games we are both currently playing. Also, for example, I got 4 blackout beta codes and I don’t need any of them cause I’m already in. I look at my friends activities and see who plays shooters but has not played the beta yet. Then I send them a code. I use my custom friends list to put the people I play with most in so I can quickly see when they are online or send them messages or invites. To each their own but each update has given me something I have used at one point or another. Admittedly you won’t use everything everyday but when you need that hammer you’re glad you have it.

SilverDemon2807d ago

Ok. How about actually give an Idea of how to enhance the user experience?
For me, friends notification, share play, using real name, communities etc are all great additions
Thry might seem "unnecessary stuff" to you but to others they are great features

Simply because YOU don't care , doesn't mean they are unnecessary or wasted potential

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot21d 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…

HectixRose22d 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.

JEECE22d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername21d 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.

Soy22d ago

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

DarXyde22d 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.

Ashunderfire8622d 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.

Ashunderfire8622d ago (Edited 22d 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.

pwnmaster300022d 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.

solideagle22d 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

Relientk7722d ago

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