korifugi Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Okay - now PSN 3.0 has been released (mine updated last night), there's a few changes to the PS4's interface. There's.... A dedicated PSN Plus section: Detailing what's currently free, current discounts, your psn plus library and account management. Events: Double xp in x game, online tournament in y. Streaming to Youtube: What it says on the tin Better 'screenshot' formats: Now able to save as .png "Stickers": For messaging Video Clips to Twitter: As it says. Favourites: For people you often play alongside / against so you can find them easier. and Communities: Online 'groups' to see who's online of a particular group - useful for gaming clans, groups of friends or 'looking for group' players. Now, this last one... Communities. Currently - there isn't an Edugeek one (that I've found) but I think it'll be a good idea (don't worry - you can be a member of multiple communities). I'm happy to set one up, unless one of the Mods wants to, rather than ending up with half a dozen different ones. I can go through the 'geek PSN threads and chuck out invites - but it won't be until I can get home tonight. Everyone up for this?
Grey-gear Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks for the info, I'll look into updating tonight
X-13 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Okay - now PSN 3.0 has been released (mine updated last night), there's a few changes to the PS4's interface. There's.... A dedicated PSN Plus section: Detailing what's currently free, current discounts, your psn plus library and account management. Meh Events: Double xp in x game, online tournament in y. Meh Streaming to Youtube: What it says on the tin Need to test this... For reasons. Better 'screenshot' formats: Now able to save as .png M_Bison_Yes.avi "Stickers": For messaging Meh Video Clips to Twitter: As it says. 10 second max time... So annoying. Favourites: For people you often play alongside / against so you can find them easier. Cool, but meh. and Communities: Online 'groups' to see who's online of a particular group - useful for gaming clans, groups of friends or 'looking for group' players. I thought there would be official ones as well...
korifugi Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 @X-13 I feel the same way about most of it - not too bothered about streaming (as it's not something I currently do), but the 'communities' and 'PSN' sections have my interest. The events could be cool too.
X-13 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) @X-13 I feel the same way about most of it - not too bothered about streaming (as it's not something I currently do), but the 'communities' and 'PSN' sections have my interest. The events could be cool too. I've done a bit of streaming, but not with PS4. I lack the tech to do it... 3.0 gives me options. Communities could be interesting, but I'm sure it'll be try-hard FPS clans.

korifugi Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised it took that long - give tools like that to your generic knuckle-dragger that only knows the games "COD" and "FEEFAAA"* and they'll use it to try and share pics. Doesn't stop those that actually want to be sensible with it though. *this is not to say all players of COD and Fifa are knuckledraggers - just using it as an example of the mentality of some players Edited October 1, 2015 by korifugi
Tesla Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I'll give it a whirl tonight too... add me up... crazyginger19 ...
korifugi Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) With all this - I also realise I've missed something off... Storage: PSN Storage is now up to 10GB (from 1GB) Edited October 1, 2015 by korifugi
korifugi Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Not sure - I suspect so though, as your storage is linked to the account, and not the device. I'll fire my PS3 up later on when I get back as well to see if that's changed any. (and see if there's an update to the Vita)
korifugi Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Right, I've set up the group and sent out all the invites I can. If anyone has any other members to add, you can do so through the group. Failing that - message me on PSN and I'll sort it. Group Name: Edugeek My PSN: k-fugi
korifugi Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Looks like the invites haven't worked for some reason... Darn
korifugi Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 There must be a few hours delay between an invite being sent & received - I saw 6 in the group this morning
korifugi Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 Does that include storage on ps3??? After checking - it appears they're separate (contrary to what I thought), so the PS3 storage is still 1GB I Still haven't had anything Checking the various forums last night - it appears that the community 'invite' process is very flaky, not sure if this is down to the sheer load being placed on it, or that it's simply bad. You can however, join a friend's community by viewing that friend's communities and going from there.
