Xel Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) New Social Features Appear Offline On your Profile tab, we’ve added a new option called ‘Online Status.’ From here, you can choose to ‘Appear Offline.’ This could be useful if you want to play games or watch movies without your friends knowing you’re online. You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile, or by holding down the PS Button on DualShock 4 to bring up the Quick Menu. Friend Online Notification Now you can choose to get notified when your friends come online. To receive notifications, select a player on your friends list, press Options, and select ‘Notify When Online.’ User Scheduled Event On the Events tab, we’re adding the ability to schedule gameplay sessions with your friends. Just select ‘Create Event,’ and you’ll be able to make an invitation for an upcoming gameplay session. Choose the day, time, game, and send it off to your friends. When your event starts, users who registered will automatically be added to a party so you can start playing right away. You can also share an event to a group, or a community that you’re a member of. Once shared, the event will be sent as a message, or posted to a community wall, and members can register from there Play Together This feature allows all members of a Party to see what each person is playing so that you can easily join a friend’s game, or start a new game together. Other New System Features Remote Play (PC/Mac) With this update, we’re expanding PS4’s Remote Play capabilities to work with Windows PC and Mac. Remote Play on PC / Mac is compatible with the following system software: Windows 8.1 Windows 10 or later OS X 10.10 OS X 10.11 You’ll be able to select from the following resolution and frame rate options, depending on your Internet bandwidth.

Along with PS4’s 3.50 system software update, PlayStation App version 3.50 is out tomorrow as well. The main new features of this update are as follows: User Scheduled Event Users can schedule gameplay sessions with friends Dailymotion has been added to Live from PlayStation Other players’ shared activities appear in your activities That’s a look at some of the big additions in this update.

Sir_Bee Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Nice, more anti-social tools at my disposal! Although, I probably couldn't be ass to set it each time.. "You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in" you wont have to, you can set it to default offline. There are some interesting features in this update.

xWinson Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Disappointing that PC Remote Play isn't compatible with Windows 7, was hoping to ditch the unofficial version this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) When will it go live though? I can't download it yet. Only thing I am interested in is the friend notifications when someone comes online, other than that the others don't matter to me. I still wish we could put our trophy list in Alphabetical order like on Ps3. Nevermind, I went to the official blog and it says it is out tomorrow.

DaivRules Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Remote play on PC/Mac looks interesting. I'll be testing it out on my Mac with a wired connection and maybe I'll give it a shot on my 8" Windows tablet, just for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaTrash Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Still no "see trophies while offline" feature. Disappointing. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the sign in notification for friends. Appear offline feature won't be used by me... i actually love the attention I get when online. You wouldn't believe the how many cute dudes ask me for nudes every time I sign in. I'm sure all the pretty ladies on psnp can relate... I'm sure they both suffer with the same social affliction. It's so tough being cool and beautiful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcrunch061 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) they don't add those features = people complains they add those features = people complains too I get so sick of reading these comments. Obviously, some people will have opinions one way, and some will have them the other. I don't think the same person is complaining that a feature is absent, and then complaining that a feature is present. Anyway, getting back to the thread, I could care less about these new features, but not much. Mostly, I'm happy that the notification of friends going online is optional.
