My Ps3 is updating right now 17%. Flash wallpapers are cool and all, but i really hope there's more to this update. I won't get my hopes up too high though.

Well, it finished installing and i noticed that when you start the ps3, you now have to log into an account to access anything else.

I would check for more stuff but, maybe later. I'm going to play some warhawk.

Ikanago6826d ago

I don't see vidcaps in the videos section on the new update. Is there some new option you have to turn on?

reaferfore206826d ago

is an updated flash player. I can't watch anything from gametrailers.com :(

Super Stardust and Blast factor just loaded up faster then ever. It's like they optimized the hard drive in some form.

I'm going to test Warhawk to remark changes for both loading and ease of connectivity.

Edit: Miniclips (thumbnails) in the videos section, and game clips in the games folder all load up synchronized now. This is purely an aesthetic change from the way I see it.

D R Fz6826d ago

No in fact that's really good news. Decreasing load times on anything is a plus in my book. The update is looking good so far but I'm still looking forward to the Big 2.0 and home.

BIadestarX6826d ago

Any body care to confirm if any game related features were added?

DrPirate6826d ago

I'm experimenting, as far as game features, related to in-game access to the cross media bar, or voice chatting in game, no changes.

However, people everywhere are confirming that people are able to join a game first attempt in Warhawk, however, that may be a fluke considering it's midnight and people work/ go to school tomorrow.

When i spot/read something, I will update the story description.

Kleptic6826d ago

before 1.92 I pretty much couldn't even login in to Warhawk anymore...the game went from absolutely no bugs on my end from Wednesday of last week, to friday afternoon...then started having the stat problems, and a few network issues...then yesterday couldn't even login into Warhawk for online play because of the now infamous "network timed out" error...

downloaded v1.92 last night around midnight...have not had a single problem with warhawk since...it was rumored that this firmware update was going to address a lot of the network issues that were causing problems with Warhawk...or maybe it is just a coincidence...still have the stat problems though, not suprisingly...that is most likely a servcer side problem, not a firmware issue...

Fisher3396826d ago (Edited 6826d ago )

is a flash background, one that will, like move and stuff? I.e. animations

D R Fz6826d ago (Edited 6826d ago )

here's an example http://www.flashdesignerzon...

and another one is the default background (the wave) on the ps3 (when it's in motion).

@Dr.Pirate: that sounds promising. Hopefully when you say a gift, it means Sony will give it to us for free, which i doubt. Maybe some free samples.

DrPirate6826d ago (Edited 6826d ago )

Correct:

Rumour has it that Sony is giving us a "gift" in the Playstation Store soon enough.

I prefer not to get my hopes up, but my beliefs (and instincts) lead me to believe that this gift will be a new bevy of flash animated wallpapers.

Edit: @ Feacherz: According to the kindly lady on the telephone, they'll offer it to us for free for being so "patient" with them. I have 2 guesses: Free animated wallpapers, free update/downloadable content for Warhawk announced.

Edit @ 4.4: Common sense and instincts will lead me to speculate that such animated wallapapers will be available to download from the Playstation store, similarly to the way you download wallpapers from it now. I wouldn't be surprised if you begin to see a couple of nice user created wallpapers spring up on forums either.

MikeGdaGod6826d ago

where do we get flash wallpaper from?

Skater_Ricky6826d ago

Hopefully they added some new Features to the Internet Browser.. anyone confirm this yet... it will take me all night on my slow connections tonight.. aka Free wireless hints Naboors.. haha im a moucher tell i get a good paying job and hold it long enought to get my own blazing speed net.

LPpatriot456826d ago

Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me, or my network is extra efficient today, but it seems like the web browser loads faster for me. I think it's just my network tho, so don't get your hopes up...

Ri0tSquad6826d ago (Edited 6826d ago )

I just really wish sony would tell us.

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.

solideagle13d 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

Relientk7713d ago

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

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde20d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy21d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7722d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga22d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199221d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga21d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman21d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger21d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box22d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion21d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7222d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7522d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit21d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14922d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7722d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
