Another Uncharted by Naughty Dog after the upcoming standalone dlc is unlikely.

http://www.dualshockers.com/2017/03/07/another-uncharted-lost-legacy-unlikely-says-naughty-dog/

“I would say that Naughty Dog doing an Uncharted after this is unlikely. I would never say never, but we’ve got The Last of Us Part II on our plates and there’s so much other stuff that [we want to explore]. It’d be hard. If we magically had that two-team, three-team studio, sure – it’d be great to keep doing it. We really love the franchise, but the studio has limited resources and lots of other ideas. I’d say the likelihood is low.”

That sucks. I wanted to see a game with an older Cassie as the protagonist. Maybe Naughty Dog will pass on the IP to another Sony studio? 

Don't we have tomb raider for that!



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

€15.99 if you have PS+  and buy the game before release, otherwise it's €19.99



*waits for his Take Your Heart edition of Persona 5 to arrive*



 

The next PS4 update is tomorrow and brings the following new features.

External HDD

 

As we previously mentioned, 4.50 allows to download and store PS4 games and apps to an external HDD. Insert your USB 3.0 HDD into your console, and select it from ‘USB Storage Devices’ from ‘Devices’ in Settings to format it so it’s ready to use (note, any previously stored content will be wiped from the HDD).

 

Note: compatible HDDs need to be USB 3.0 or later, between 250GB (min) – 8TB (max).

 

The HDD will now be the default download location as long as it’s plugged in; you can select the PS4’s internal storage instead on the ‘Storage’ section in Settings. You can easily move your internally-stored games and apps across to the HDD by selecting ‘Applications’ in ‘Storage’, press the ‘Options’ button and select ‘Move to Extended Storage’. You’ll be able to choose which games and apps you want to move.

 

To safely remove the HDD, hold down the PS button on your controller and select ‘Sound/Devices’ and then ‘Stop Using Extended Storage’ from the Quick Menu.

 

There is no guarantee that all USB storage devices are compatible with your system.

 

Improved 2D Images on PS VR

 

If you’re playing a game in PS VR and you return to the PS4 home screen, you may notice that the resolution looks lower than normal on the TV Social Screen. Following this update, you’ll find that the resolution of the system screen displayed on your TV is significantly better when you’re out of VR mode.

 

Also, the resolution of Cinematic Mode on PS VR will improve — if your PS VR screen size is set to Small or Medium, the frame rate of content viewed in Cinematic Mode goes up from 90Hz to 120Hz with this update.

 

Voice Chat for Remote Play

 

We’re adding voice chat when using Remote Play on Windows PC, Mac or an Xperia device. This is especially useful if you’ve got a gaming session planned with your friends, but you’re away from your system. You can switch your mic on and off via the microphone icon on the Tool Bar of the Remote Play app.

 

Off Console Availability

 

We have a variety of off-console apps and features that make communication with other gamers easier, like the PlayStation App and PS Messages. We’re adding an icon, shaped like a smartphone, which indicates a player is logged into PSN but away from their system.

 

Custom Wallpaper and Profile Color

 

Ready for a much more personal PS4 home screen? Head to Settings, then select Theme. From here, choose ‘Custom’ and select any screenshot and set it as your new PS4 home screen wallpaper.

 

Also there’s a new option to better personalize your Profile page. If you’ve selected a custom cover image, your PS4 will generate a choice of supporting colors based on that image to change the page’s background color to.

 

Share Your Activity

 

You’ll now have more choice on what you want to include on your Activity Feed, letting you create custom stories with text, screenshots, player and game tags. Find the post tool on What’s New, your Profile or Content Info Screen.

 

Activity Feed Privacy

 

In addition, you can now change the privacy settings for individual posts. You can alter who sees your Activities via the same-named tab in the Sharing Your Experience section of Settings, while you can decide the level of privacy for videos, screenshots, broadcasts, PS Store and PS Music when you go to upload them. But worry not, you can also alter who gets to see that content after the post has been shared.

 

Save Data Shortcut

 

Hover over a game title icon and press the Options button. You’ll be given the choice to ‘Upload/Download Saved Data’ from the the PS4’s home screen that let you upload the saved data on your PS4 to PS Plus online storage and download the saved data from PS Plus online storage to your PS4 with ease.

 

From Capture Gallery to SHAREfactory

 

Select your chosen screenshot or video in Capture Gallery, and by pressing the Options button you’ll have the choice to go straight into SHAREfactory and start editing.

 

GIF Support

 

Get the GIF love in 4.50, as you can now share GIFs from SHAREfactory to your Activity Feeds.

 

Boost Mode (for PlayStation 4 Pro only)

 

PS4 Pro gets a new feature in this update called Boost Mode. This feature has been designed to provide better performance for select legacy titles that have not been patched to take advantage of the PS4 Pro’s faster CPU and its faster and double-sized GPU.

 

This can provide a noticeable frame rate boost to some games with variable frame rates, and can provide frame rate stability for games that are programmed to run at 30 Hz or 60 Hz. Depending on the game, the increased CPU speed may also result in shorter load times. You can turn on Boost Mode by going to Settings > System.

 

Keep in mind that Boost Mode is not guaranteed to work with all titles. Turning the setting off will allow the game to be played in a mode that replicates the standard PS4.

 

PS Messages and Communities app Updates

 

We’re also updating the PS Messages (Android/iOS) and PS Communities (Android/iOS) apps tomorrow with a few handy features.

 

When you receive a Party invitation from your friends on PS Messages, now you can respond with a quick reply, “I’ll join later” or “Sorry, I can’t join,” when you want to get back to them ASAP.On the Communities app, you can now easily check the PSN service status under Settings > View Status of PSN Services.Also on the Communities app, iOS users can tell at a glance if there are any new posts in their community by checking the badge app icon (the number in a red circle at the top-right corner of the app’s icon).

Vgc formatting is triggering me, now I know how ryuu feels



 

The Drive forms actually load instantly. I already have 2.5 (but not 1.5), but I might get this for the framerate and technical improvements.

That's cool, although I already have 1.5 and 2.5 on ps3, so I think I'll pass on this. Still need to get 2.8 as well.

With the external hdd support, the only thing the PS4 still needs are the PS1 classics (having all the PS2 classics would be great as well).
PS3 is my PS1 digital machine, but I want it everywhere xD

Indeed. I´d buy a bunch of those PS1 and PS2 classics if Sony put more effort in making them available in every Playstation.

The PS2 on PS4 thing is great. Games look pretty good and trophies are awesome but that should exist in addition to the regular version.

 

Hopefully it happens soon and Sony doesn´t start PS5 from scratch as they did with every system before.
