Dude, I don't know. It just seems like a super useless thing for normal people. You don't want to play with someone? - Block them. You don't want to block that person? - K, then don't. I just don't see how all the 3 people on this planet who would work with your vision of this eloborate flag system would benefit so greatly from said thing.

Miles_Warren Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Actually, the one thing that I really wanted in this update doesn't seem like it will be implemented and that is keeping track of trophy progression. I hear X Box does a good job of this so why can't Sony? I would like to know how close I am to obtaining a trophy. That would definitely be a huge improvement. 6 minutes ago, ZachBoardyHD said: I'm so sick of 'change ID name' coming up... You knew it was a unique name and a one time thing, it's not their fault you picked a name you didn't like and when you realised this you should have created a new account with the preferences name. Pretty much this. Every update that gets announced this "Change PSN ID" thing crops up. It's not happening lads. Sorry. You're stuck with that username you thought was cool when you were 14 but no longer do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanimeGamer Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Until 5.0 is officially released and until SONY states everything that is in the update then we will just have to wait and see. I am not saying there are additional features that will be included in the final 5.0 but as of now it is only in Beta form. I am not bothered what Eurogamer are saying they have seen notes of, because after all, you can only see what you are shown.

CaptainMonkster Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Only thing I'm interested in is ps1 to ps4. Anything else is okay, but personally I think this is the worst update I can remember x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll eventually happen one day but like i said 1) they need to understand the consequences of the name change with old-gen saves 2) it's not something that requires a firmware to be installed on a hardware.

You'd likely need to copy the PS3 and Vita save files to the PS+ Online Storage, then you download them so they'd be linked to your new username. Only if this may occur, I don't know. It's not like it's impossible to be implemented. JP users were able to do it. While they kept the online ID kept being the same, the display ID changed.

Yeah, JP users... even PS3 games like Harmony of Despair let you change the display ID in the JP version, or when the system language was set to Japanese, i don't remember.

JapanimeGamer Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Eventually it will come, but as we know with SONY they like to take their time with basic things that should be possible straight out of the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undead Wolf Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Damn, it looks like the black notifications are still a step down from what they looked like at launch. Better than the white ones at least, but still... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down son, Jesus. On a seperate issue... I'm as much as a trophy hoar as the next person on the site, but I have to say I'm not really aware of trophy notifications being that different. Is it really that big a deal to put them back to the old way. Edited August 19, 2017 by captainskyhawk Merged without any spacing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdruA Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I got the beta, It's ok I guess, doesn't change that much for me cause I'm the single gamer here and don't have any kids I'm glad to be able to put friends in specific groups, and to turn off notifications if im watching netflix or youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
