Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony sneaks in extra features in firmware 3.5 (4TB support, USB music player, more)

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4-fans-discover-350-update-does-more-than-advert/1100-6438645/

https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/4dl1zr/ps4_firmware_350_megathread_20160406/

Accidentally stumbled across this while doing some research. The articles are all within a few hours old so I'm assuming this thread is original to the site.

 

Not included in this Reddit thread, but reported everywhere else is the fact that the PS4 now supports up to 4TB of internal HDD memory

 


Detailed Tweaks

(1-14 by /u/halpmeplz01 in this post)

  1. User Scheduled/Created Events 

  2. Play Together button - easily invite people in your party to the same game 

  3. Friend online notifications can be turned on or off on a person to person basis 

  4. Appear offline. 

  5. Remote play on PC/Mac 

  6. Dailymotion Live Support for streaming etc. 

  7. Teens (13-17) can now create their own accounts with limited access to play offline games, rather than having to use a sub account. 

  8. Easier to search for communities by text, language, time zone 

  9. You can now share OTHER people’s activities so your friend’s can see it too. 

  10. Tweeks to messaging - you can see short replies to messages without jumping to a different screen 

  11. You can TAG other players when sharing video and screenshots (if you have your fb/twitter permissions enabled, the tags will carry over to the sharing on those sites). 

  12. You can check the status of PSN (this is a feature? just use the website...) 

  13. USB music player is back.

  14. Improvements to PS+ (improvements to managing online storage and ability to see friends who play the same games as you). 

    Unannounced Tweaks:

  15. You can disable the screenshot on-screen notification (in Settings under Notifications) allowing you to take multiple screenshots in a row without the screenshot taken popup. The sound indicating the screenshot was taken still functions as normal.

  16. Life From PlayStation Improvements:

    - There's a search field on the game list now. Previously you had to use the "global" search, that'd return matches for everything (pre-recorded, videos, screenshots) and not just live streams.

    - You can pin up to three games that will stay on the top of the list. I watch Bloodborne and DS2 streams all the time, now I don't have to scroll down every time to find them.

  17. You can set a party member limit now. From 2-8 people.

The USB player is great, but for me personally it's not relevent anymore with being able to multitask Spotify and gaming. Unless, of course, it will allow us to triple task gameplay, with broadcasting, while playing music via USB. I'll test when I get home if no one else has by then.



Can it play Audio CD's yet?

Why doesn't "Improvements to PS+" include better games? So sick of all this Indy crap.



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Haven't we been able to listen to music from the USB before this update(I know I've been doing it)? Or am I understanding this the wrong way?

I'm honestly not sure since I use Spotify lol. But there are multiple places reporting it, so it's possible that in some capacity something has changed.

 

Amazing that Sony covertly adds in features and all you people do is complain d: (not directed at you, Sunstrider)

Have you ever updated it? Because when it launched it had USB playback but was later removed via a patch

Well after I got the PS4, I just updated it once that's it, can't remember what version it was though.

Edit: I got the PS4 last February btw.

4TB? No 2.5 exists.
