Playstation 3 Patch 4.1

PlayStation 4’s next major system software update, version 4.00 (codenamed Shingen), will be available tomorrow. This update brings a refreshed system UI, Folders, a new Quick Menu and Share Menu, Library improvements, and much more Refreshed UIThroughout the update, the overall look and feel of PS4’s main user interface has been improved. We’ve added new system backgrounds, updated system icons and revised pop up notifications and drop down menus to make these clearer. All of these features come together to offer a more refined and accessible experience.

Quick MenuThe Quick Menu has been redesigned to now cover only a portion of the screen which means you never have to leave your game – and you can customize it to access your most used features.We’ve added a range of shortcuts to the most commonly used settings, allowing you to do things like invite friends to a party, or check out which of your friends are currently online and see what games they’re playing – all without leaving your current play session. One new addition to the Quick Menu that wasn’t featured in the beta program is an enhanced Music section to allow you to discover, play, and control Spotify or the USB Music Player without needing to open the Spotify app so you’ll now be able to play, pause, skip, shuffle, repeat and save songs whilst still in the game.We’ve made the Quick Menu smarter, so that it offers you options most relevant to what you’re currently doing. If you’re broadcasting your game online, for example, it’ll automatically place the options you’re most likely to need – adjusting audio levels or checking comments – on the Quick Menu for you.

It’ll adjust the options accordingly in other scenarios too, such as regular gameplay or when using Share Play.Folders and LibraryYou can now easily keep tabs on your ever-expanding games and apps collection with custom folders. These can be added to both the main home-screen and your library and will store as many games and apps as you wish. You’re free to edit, sort or remove them at any time. To create a folder from your home screen hit ‘Options’ on a selected game or app and select “Add to new folder”. You can then name your folders whatever you like and fill them up with games and apps from your home screen or Library, and go back in at a later date to rename the folder and add more content to it.

To create a folder from your Library, navigate to the Folders icon and choose “Create New”. As above, you can rename the folder, then choose “Select” to add any games and apps to it.It’s now easier to find the content you want in your Library with the new Search function via text input. You can also sort content by purchase date or install status, while the ‘All’ tab will show you the content you have currently installed. The ‘Purchased Content’ tab will show you all your downloaded and deleted content, including betas and demos. Content Info ScreenWe’ve given a similar redesign to the Content Info Screen, which you can access by pressing down on a game tile while on the home screen. You’ll be able to easily select from a variety of options to view a game’s Overview, Trending media, Friends and Communities, Activities and related PlayStation Store content.ProfileYours and your friends’ profiles have been revised and updated to provide more relevant information and comparisons about the games you’ve been playing, the trophies you’ve earned and the communities you’re active in.

You can also personalize your profile with a cover image.CommunitiesYou can now find and interact even more like-minded players in Communities as each community size limit has been increased to 100,000 and you now have the ability to reply to Community wall comments. You can also share your best screenshots directly to a Community wall via the Share menu. Data Transfer to new PS4In order to make it easier to get all of your data from one PS4 to another, especially useful if you’ve upgraded your system to PS4 Pro, we’ve added the ability to transfer data over a wired LAN connection.

You can transfer games, user info, and saved data. Of course, you can re-download content and transfer saves through the cloud, but the LAN transfer should be much faster and easier. High Dynamic RangeWe’re really excited that 4.00 will allow all PS4 consoles, including the new slimmer PS4 and PlayStation®4 Pro to support High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging technology. HDR enables the reproduction of brightness and darkness while realizing a much wider range of colours.

Users who own an HDR-compatible TV will be able to enjoy supported games and other entertainment content with visuals that are more realistic, strikingly vivid and truer to the way the human eye sees the real world. Two step verificationWhile not technically part of the 4.00 update, it’s worth noting that Two-step verification has recently been added to give and extra layer of security to your PlayStation Network account when you sign in. You can find out more about this feature and activate it on your account here: That’s not allThese are the main features of the 4.00 update, but we’ve made several other tweaks and improvements that you’ll notice. Sharing videos to Twitter gives you up to 140 seconds of playback time. In the PlayStation Plus hub, there’s now a percentage meter to show how much online storage you’ve used. We’ve enhanced the messaging app so you can communicate with PSN friends in new ways, and you can now check your trophies and compare your collection whilst offline.

In addition, we’ve also updated the Rare trophy icon so you can show off your achievements more clearly. It all adds up to lots more ways to stay connected to your friends and your gaming worlds.That’s all for now – we hope you enjoy the new features! Technically, the transfer is to copy your data to a new system if you’re upgrading, but I took advantage of this.I had my PS4 and my boyfriend’s which he never used so the HDD was practically empty.You attach the two together via an Ethernet/LAN cable, access the feature in the menus. You can choose what to copy over by catagory.Users dataGame data/updatesCapture dataSave dataTheme dataIt will not delete from your current HDD nor the one you’re copying to.I connected the systems, initiated it.

Seriously sony? There’s hundreds of feedback posts in the beta forums with surely over 95% people bashing the new “what’s new” yet you’ll launch it exactly like that, dysfunctional and ugly.sigh. same thing goes for the horrible folders and the stupid icon in it.-‘You clearly showed you don’y give a F for the testers/consumers/gamers you simply do what you want and that’s it.

I don’t even know what the heck you launch a beta for that matter.I really do hope the white notifications are gone for good and you went back with the previous colors otherwise I’ll have to keep ’em disabled because it’s unbearable. So basically no different to the beta?! All the issues and stuff we told you about you acknowledged and changed absolutely NOTHING! This is just proof that sony really don’t care and are extremely lazy. The new What’s New is terrible and doesn’t even work for lots of people.

Sony ignoring it. Can’t download anything while playing a game or spotify because as soon as you do the download goes from 100mb to 400kb and 3.50 was when the issue started Sony ignoring it. Lots of people asked for simple changes in the beta like a clock in the quick menu, been able to add more things because you can add hardly anything useful to it but as usual Sony ignoring us. The 4.00 is a hell of a lot slower everything has an annoying please wait screen, you can no longer easily pause and resume a download to try get the speed going again, you can no longer quickly log out, turn the system off, switch user or contol spotify like before. Great work sony. The PS4 gets worse with every update. So basically no different to the beta?!

What’s funny is the PS3 has had all the main features in these updates for years Features the PS4 should of had day 1 PS4 has felt like a 3 year beta for the Pro. I’m one of few who had the pleasure to try out the Beta 4.0.

I’m still impressed how stable it runs, had never a single freeze or black-screen. I’m one of few who had the pleasure to try out the Beta 4.0. I’m still impressed how stable it runs, had never a single freeze or black-screen. It is nice to add the feature of LAN transfer of games between PS4 and PS4 pro.

It helps customers moving more easily to the new platform. Put their hand in the pocket more easily and buy the system – if you know what i mean. It helps sales. But what about making life easier for your existing customers?:What about adding the capability of storing e.g. A 50GB game, which we do not plan to replay soon, to the external HDD we already have? So to avoid waiting to re-download all the data again. Moving old games to external storage would save considerable space in our system for new games, which helps avoid buying a bigger HDD.

Just saying.PS: The feature of adding folders in our libraries was a nice addition. Encoding properly the hardware id of the console along with the owner details into the image file would secure enough the image so that it would fail to be restored in a system that the owner has no rights to access the particular game. We have to do with a big company here, this task to do is trivial for them.

They have security experts and know their job.Also when i said that the game should be able to be moved to the external drive, i meant in no way to be in playable state from the external drive. I meant that the external drive would play the role of just a storage option to relieve considerable space from the internal HDD of the PS4. When the player would like to revisit the old game that had been stored in the image, he would plug it in the PS4, perform a restore of the particular game, and enjoy the game after some minutes, utilizing USB 3.0 transfer speeds; much better than having to redownload the game, and wait for hours, and also consume bandwidth, a good that is valua.

Customisable Quick menu is the only thing of value for me here. My quick menu will finally be limited to only the ‘Power’ section for quick shutdown:p The other stuff in there is completely useless for me so I’m glad I won’t have to browse through that anymore. Folders I don’t need in general, although it will be nice to finally ‘hide’ those non-gaming apps that are just there for no reason if you never use them.

Might mess around with the Profile picture thing from time to time as well, although I stopped taking pictures in general after Destiny.I know this probably doesn’t get asked for a lot and doubt if anyone from Sony is reading this, but PLEASE consider an option to get rid of games in the trophy list permanently (not just 0%) in a future update, or at the very least a way to hide them from the actual user as well. I want my trophy list to be ‘my own’ again, I get really OCB over such things and it gnaws at me -.

Also consider bringing customisation to the What’s New section. I don’t like it at all and from what I read it’s gotten even worse. I don’t need an update on every trophy my brother unlocks, even if he decides to share that with his friends Give us some control over what we see popping up in there;)Same goes for the ‘Overview’ of games, while I’ve loved the idea of having installed and available DLC showing up in there from the start, I hate the Live streams, community and recent activities sections being in there. It even seems to slow down the interface frequently as it seems much smoother on those rare occasions I’m offline and all that clutter isn’t there. More customisation is always very welcome.Thanks in advance.

Why is it your library of games is still at the very end of the listWhy is it so difficult to understand that the list of games should be easily accessibleHow about instead of wasting your time adding cover photos that no one cares about, just because you want to turn into Facebook, you focus on important thingsHow about you move the library to the left near the storeOr how about you replace the store with the library icon, wow what an insane ideaThere’s many things you need to change. This is just one of them. Get a brain playstation. I’m fed up with your rubbish.
