Features include:

  • Friend Online Notification Should've been there since the beginning.
  • Appear Offline Great, but should probably have been there since the beginning.
  • User Scheduled Event No idea what this is, probably great for some users but not for me
  • Remote Play (PC/Mac) Great!
  • Dailymotion, new service partner in Share feature Probably not a big deal but having more choice is always good.

Reactions in bold. Anyway, Sony's version numbering seems a bit funny (unusual). Or rather, it seems like something that was common 10+ years ago.

weird version numbering?

.1 increments denote an addition in features or an addition to the OS. .01 increments denotes stability or bug updates. 

How much simpler can an update numbering system be? what would you have it be? something like say..... update 1422? 

 

anyways to OP. Not interested in any of these. I just want folders and better external HDD support. but I can imagine these features means a lot to some people.

It's simple but these days it seems to be more common to use the following:

  • .1 increments for major changes
  • .x.1 increments for minor changes
  • etc.

That is, while Sony's current system 3.50 comes after 3.4x, in the more common system 3.50 comes after 3.49 (or 3.49.x). Sony's system has issues with version numbers like 1.09, where they're kind of forced to make the next version number 1.10 no matter what the change is. Or in more extreme cases, 1.9 will have to become 2.0 no matter what. There's ways to get around that but then it's not so simple anymore. In the other method, 1.09 isn't a version number. Instead, there's either 1.9 or 1.0.9 depending on what it's supposed to mean. The first becomes 1.10 and the latter becomes 1.0.10 (if it's a change on the 'same level' as the latest version), and that's it.

Anyway, I'm not saying there is a right way to do version numbers because there probably isn't. Sony's numbering works well as long as there aren't too many minor updates, but it's not as flexible and general as the other way. I just thought it was interesting because I'm used to seeing the other method these days.



Oh friend online notifications, now I need to find where to turn that off or delete my friends :)

Rip Elite Dangerous, my go to game on my laptop while the kids have the tv. (and I can't leave the room)
I'll be giving remote play a try on my laptop, ie when my kids aren't playing PvZ GW or Minecraft on ps4 :/



Well, better late than never I suppose. My list of "wants" are now reduced to: folders, PSN user rename, deletion of betas/demos from library, deletion of titles from trophy list at 5% or less, external HDD support, an update to ShareFactory that makes all themes optional and lets you mix & match theme clips.



Hopefully remote play to PC and Mac will support 1080p/60fps. Also, does this mean the dualshock 4 will have native driver support from Sony? Or will it just work with the remote play client?
