System Update 2.0 for PlayStation 4 Released

Yesterday, a system update of version 2.0 for the Sony PlayStation 4 game console, which was given the codename Masamune, was made available to developers. Update is worthy of a separate mention due to a lot of interesting functions that it will bring to the life of gamers.

It's worth starting with the most interesting. Finally, the owners of PS4 will be able to use the cloud SharePlay function, thanks to which players will be able to interact with each other in three new ways.

The "Shared Screen" mode allows you to divide your TV screen with a friend or a friend, allowing him to monitor your game. A friend will be able to give you valuable advice on the passage of certain points, as well as simply comment on your game or cheer for you. This mode is available to all owners of the PlayStation 4 without any restrictions.

The "Transfer Controller" mode is an even more unusual way of interacting with friends. You can virtually transfer control of your game to a friend so that he can go straight from your house right from your house or knock out a particularly clever hatch, for which you do not have the patience or skills. The owner of the game for this mode will need a paid subscription PS Plus, and a remote assistant does not need such a subscription.

The third mode "Connecting Another Controller" allows you to play together in games that support local multiplayer (that is, both or more players must sit in front of one TV), remotely when your friend is sitting at home and gets the virtual controller from your hands console. For this mode, a paid subscription of PS Plus will be needed for both players.

The next pleasant news was the support of the Russian language in the voice control of the PS4. Henceforth, the game console understands a number of commands on the great and mighty, although there are times when you have to repeat them several times. I have already personally tested almost all the new features. In order for you to control the console with your voice, you will need either a PlayStation Camera or a headset with a microphone connected to the game controller.

Finally, it was possible to publish video games to your YouTube channel by pressing the Share button on the controller. I remind you that you can also edit your videos in a special video editor, which is provided to all PS4 owners for free.

There was also a USB-player for your music. Now you can stick a flash drive with a music collection into the console and play it in the background if you are not satisfied with the soundtrack of any video game. The following formats are supported: MP3, MP4, M4A and 3GP.

From now on, you can change the standard blue background of the console's system menu bored. At your choice there are several different color themes, from which everyone will be able to pick something to their liking. In the near future, there will also be special themes with background images and unique icons.

Changes have also affected the functions of LiveFromPlayStation. Now you can subscribe to the channels of the players that you liked. Also there appeared filters for convenient search of certain broadcasts. Support was added for viewing archived broadcasts.

I was very annoyed by the fact that in past firmware it was necessary to download games distributed free of charge to subscribers of PlayStation Plus. Now in the store you can simply add them to your game library with a separate button, and then, if necessary, download. These games will not disappear anywhere, even after the end of PS Plus, and will always be at hand.

And on USB-media now it is possible to write down a backup of the important system data of the console: to throw off all the records from favorite games, settings of a prefix and other important information. In the event of a breakdown of the console or changing it to a new model, it will be easy to transfer data.

Update not only received the PS4 console. A new firmware has also been released for the PlayStation Vita. In the software version 3.35, a function was added for a remote game of four. Also on Vita appeared application LiveFromPlayStation, thanks to which it will be possible to watch the broadcast of gameplay from PS4 systems.

Of course, could not do without errors in the software. Some users noticed a rather unpleasant bug after the software update. The console after its transfer to sleep mode can not get out of it. To turn it on, you have to completely turn it off from the network, and then turn it on again. I think that this annoying mistake will be corrected in the very near future with the help of a small patch.
