Can you play journey with a friend multiplayer

I don't believe it'd be easily possible. I guess it's a bit like No Man's Sky in a way.

Basically the implementation of others in your game is that you'll see someone else pretty much phase in and out of your world as they play the game. You never see a PSN ID or anything until the end of the game and your only form of communication is a 'ping' which you can spam or hold for longer ping noises.

I'd say it'd be fairly hard to join someone else deliberately.

The Last Guardian delayed. Lol

 

[The Big Sauce]

That and FFXV are never coming out

It needs a codename?

They should have killed it years ago. What a ******* mess.

It's coming out in December, surely this is accurate!

 

[Firestarter]

Just to check, this is TLG?

 

[aussiedude]

new firmware is live

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Comes with a new shade of blue

 

[HBK619]

Folders!

 

[Igloo]

New quick menu is really good.

 

[Smoooothy]

In love with the motion keyboard!!

 

[SugarShane]

Only thing I wanted to do with folders/organization still isn't possible (move the Netflix and WWE Network shortcuts to a folder/the main ribbon).

 

[King_Steele]

Looks different.

 

[dwwaino]

Was hoping the folders thing would be in the library to organise it a bit better with all my demos, betas and PS+ games I played for about 5 mins. I only stuffed around with it for a few minutes before bed last night so I might have just missed finding it

 

[Klim]

My layout is much cleaner with the folders. Also love the new last online feature.

Spotify is now integrated into the menu and doesnt need to launch anymore, also shows the song and band in the top left corner when a new song starts. its just like anyother notification.

the PS4 Pro seems like the equivalent of Nintendo putting out a Nintendo 64 Pro which just has the expansion pak upgrade built in. but I'm glad it exists as it means the Slim won't be as expensive as if it was the only new PS4 coming out. the Slim looks like a decent upgrade, hopefully it's stable!

******* hell really? I've been using it since the beta and never noticed. Thats good a good addition.

It sounds like the PS4 Pro could read 4K UDH Blu-ray from a firmware update just like the PS3/PS4 did with 3D. and sony are not launching it with 4K because they want to sell the upcoming 4K Blu ray players they have.

The Blu-ray drive in the PS4 pro reads data faster then a 4K drive need to.

it was apart of the new patch for spotify 2.00 that went live the same time as the new firmware.

Makes it faster with the new menu only taking up half the screen to pick a song/playlist

 

[Quivorir]

That explains how I missed it then

Looking forward to it.

Interesting. Thought it had been confirmed elsewhere that an upgrade to UHD disc support via firmware wasn't possible.
