Horizon seems cool but I'm a pass... as I'm getting older more washed I have a short attention span to play single player games....I still haven't open uncharted 3 or 4 both of which I got for 20 bucks lol... I prolly won't have time to finish it before Gran Turismo anyway...

the only single player games I can finish are like red dead or GTA
 
New Beta rolling out tomorrow for both PS4 & PS5
Our second PS5 system software beta is kicking off tomorrow with new ways to personalize your console experience across party chat, Game Base and accessibility settings. We're also rolling out a PS4 system software beta tomorrow for players to try out the community-requested Open Parties feature, which is also coming in the PS5 beta.

In addition, for PS5 beta participants in the U.S. and U.K, we're previewing a feature that enables voice commands for finding and opening games and apps, as well as controlling media playback (English language setting only).

New Party Chat Options​

In response to community feedback, we've made some updates to the Parties system:

  • Open and Closed Parties (PS5 and PS4 betas)
    • When you start a party, you can now select either an open party or a closed party:
      • An open party lets your friends see and join the party without an invite. Friends of party members can also join.
      • A closed party is only for players you invite.
    • Note: in Game Base on PS5 and Party on PS4, if you select [Open Party] when starting a party, only players using the beta version of the PS5 or PS4 system software will be able to join. To start a party that players who aren't using the beta version can also join, select [Closed Party].

  • Voice chat reporting feature update (PS5 beta)
    • If you want to report something that someone in a party said, there are now visual indicators for you to identify who was speaking. This will help PlayStation Safety take appropriate action based on your report. You can learn more about this feature here.
  • Share Play update (PS5 beta)
    • Start Share Play directly from the voice chat card. You no longer need to start Share Screen first to use Share Play.

PS5 Game Base Enhancements​

  • Voice chats are now called parties. For easier access, we've divided the Game Base menu into three tabs: Friends, Parties and Messages.

  • From the Game Base control menu and cards, you can now:
    • View all your friends under the [Friends] tab in the control menu, or access the player search feature and friend requests through links on this tab.
    • Add a player to a group or create a new group directly from Game Base in the Control Center. You can also send text messages, quick messages, images, video clips, and view a group's shared media from this card.
    • When someone in a party is sharing their screen, you'll now see the (on air) icon.
    • We've made it easier to decline friend requests by adding a [Decline] button to your friend request list.

New PS5 UI Features​

  • Filter by genre
    • We've added an option to filter your game collection by genre, letting you quickly find specific types of game experiences.
  • Keep in Home
    • You can now keep the games or apps you choose on your home screen by selecting "Keep in Home" with the (options) button.
    • You can keep a maximum of five games and apps on each home screen with this feature.

  • Increased apps on the home screen
    • You can now have a total of 14 games and apps appear on your home screen.
  • Trophies UI update
    • We've updated the visual design of trophy cards and the trophy list. You can also see suggestions for which trophies to earn on the trophy tracker and access it from the Control Center whenever you're playing a game.

  • Start Share Screen from the Create menu
    • From the Create menu, you can now start a Share Screen and stream your gameplay to an open party.

New Accessibility Features​

  • More Screen Reader languages
    • Screen Reader, which reads aloud on-screen text and provides spoken guidance for operating the console, is now supported in six additional languages: Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, and Korean.
    • This expands Screen Reader support to 15 languages, including the current ones (United States English, United Kingdom English, Japanese, Italian, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French and Canadian French).
  • Mono audio for headphones
    • You can now enable mono audio for headphones so the same audio is played from both the left and right headphones, instead of a stereo or 3D audio sound mix. This feature provides an added option to enhance the PS5 audio experience, particularly for players with unilateral hearing loss.**

  • Check marks for enabled settings
    • You can now show a check mark on enabled settings so you can easily see that they're turned on.

Voice Command (Preview): U.S. and U.K. limited release​

  • We're also testing a feature that enables voice commands for finding and opening games, apps, and settings, as well as controlling media playback on the PS5 console.
  • This feature is currently available in English for beta participants with accounts registered to the U.S. and U.K.
  • To get started, enable Voice Command (Preview) from the Settings menu. Then, call out "Hey, PlayStation!" and ask your PS5 console to find a game, open an app or setting, or control playback while enjoying a movie, TV show or song.

  • You can help us improve the feature through our feedback program, which will sometimes record your voice commands (in accordance with our Privacy Policy) and let you provide instant feedback from time to time. You can turn this feature off at any time within system settings (see above). This feature never records audio for child accounts.
  • We're in an early testing phase for this feature and will be closely assessing it and listening to your feedback throughout the beta. For more details, check out this page.

As far as I can remember... starting on the PS1, the Circle button was "OK/YES", while the X button was "NO"... and it's been like that for all my PlayStations... up until PS5, where they swapped X and Circle in the System Menu. Now it's messing me up... but for the games, it's back to "normal" for me. I hope they'll eventually give us the option in the System Software to swap this. 😕

You’re in JP, right? I believe it’s been this way for us here in NA since PS2/3.
 
I only skimmed it, but does that update mention the abililty to mute your headset with the button on the dualsense.

Because that should've been day 0 functionality.
 
Be careful y’all. Apparently there is a big Horizon Forbidden West spoiler that leaked.
 
Just read that "spoiler" which to me isn't a spoiler really. I would be shocked if it isn't in the launch day trailer and all the reviews.

Man this was already my most hyped game of this gen. So I'm not really sure how much more hyped they can get me.
Hoping they nail the story.

Yes Sir.

The lack of VR updates during the State of Play is festering with me... competitive VR was probably the biggest thing I'd been waiting for with the new game - but patience is a virtue.

Depending on when everything gets here, I should have some mid-tier wheel impressions to share.

Driving impressions will be based on GT7, Forza 7, AC, Project Cars 1/2 & F1 2021 gameplay.

They won’t announce any VR support until they unveil PSVR 2.
 
Great news. Microsoft will not only make a ton of cash, this will be some decent consumer goodwill moving forward.

Next step down that road would be making strides in improving the work environment at Activision.
