I used to be able to boot up my PS4 pro, click on party, scroll down my friends list & invite multiple people at ONCE! No uninvited players would join and spoil your livestream. There was already a way to record your voice over gameplay and if you're on a games console thats the only time you should need or want to hear your own voice. It would just be there to help people spend money. Why is the Economist model so sure Trump is going to lose compared to other models? Their little "By joining, you agree to be recorded"" would be laughed away in court. Because of this, the PS4 subreddit has been on fire for the past couple of hours, asking Sony to revert the system back to what it once was. I only use the store via a browser so this is SO welcome! @Jungkook Apologies, I had the wrong url for PSPrices. That is beyond stupid. There's already a beta available but you have to install it manually so I rather not link it on here but you can google it. You would have to create yet another message group purely to send them an invite, when before you could simply list the party as public and they'd be able to join by themselves. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered: All Suits and How to Unlo... Join 347,561 people following Push Square: © 2020 Nlife Media, partner of Gamer Network. ...indie titles tend to have good sales all year round btw. @LiliumCobra I don't know about you but this doesn't sit right with me at all. @MistressTonberry @get2sammyb Yeah, I thought the PSN store was probably the best way. For those that still can't see it on the website, just sign out and sign back in. I was 1 of the people who received the beta but I didn't go for it, the reason being is because I would have had no way to talk with my friends during the beta. Of course a big company like Sony probably knows something I don't, since apparently this has been going on since the PS4 era. I can't think of another explanation. It's just straight up awful. Titles such as Death Stranding, Persona 4 Golden and Horizon Zero Dawn have all topped the Steam charts upon release. Who tested this and thought it was okay? By the way, you could always record audio, but there was a way to opt out. Sony, unlike Microsoft, has been leaving a considerable space of time in-between the releases of their PlayStation exclusives and PC ports. Wow, I have wanted this for a long time. @UnlimitedSevens Playstation is an American subsidiary of Sony since they moved their main office to California. sorry im new im just trying to get the point of a wishlist but it would be cool if it does what u r saying. There's usually new sales on the PS Store every week. I'm amazed this isn't a feature yet. also the baskets on the web store and console store are different. The page also doesn't look like that for me, and there's no button to add something to my wishlist. @AdamNovice To put it simply, players were locked out of being able to participate in their friends parties during the beta. To learn more, see our tips on writing great answers. This is the worst I've ever known it. Honestly i never liked the private party feature. There are ones where I can get cheaper indie titles than on the store? I now know why all day I have been getting notifications about a party getting started by a friend in our clan message group this is a stupid update. Sony have, however, showed willingness to bring more PlayStation exclusives to Steam in the future - following the success of ports released so far. Why are the accidentals here written in a rather complex way, when there exists simpler notation? Also, if you buy something from your wishlist that item should disappear automatically. Yeah a lot of stuff I put on my wishlist is stuff I will look into purchasing after a price drop so an email letting me know an item on my wishlist is in a sale would be very helpful. I don't think that's too much to ask. But basically if you play with same people one group will do the job and never need to invite anyone again. I'm indifferent to gifting, though - the one time I've needed the function myself so far (on GOG), the game in question turned out to be an exception. Just to send chat invites? Also if you wanna talk about anything really private I suggest you use your phone or something that isn't in the Playstation eco system cause something tells me your non game related actions could effect your account if they're now actively listening to you and allowing recordings to be taken. Yes, I agree as I wish I can add more titles to my wish -list. Is Lithium considered a metal in astronomy? @scarecrowknife That message has been around since the PS4 came out, it’s just being resurfaced again as part of the update. @AdamNovice I beg to differ, I removed the beta and gave Sony my clear feedback that it was a terrible user experience. Might as well. Thanks, will-dearborn! You better believe a detective will confiscate your console and apply for a warrant to search it if the conditions are met. Edit: PSN has some epic sales too - I get lots of stuff from there when it's dropped enough, but sometimes I want a hardcopy. How practical are clipless pedal shoes on a long bike tour? Weird. Like I said, if you have any plans to murder anyone, do not discuss it on a PSN chat and you will be fine. Warzone is an example that was mentioned, and Dead by Daylight (there is no voice chat in the game, so you NEED to be in a party) is also going to be a huge inconvenience to set-up parties, and manage new people that are coming and going. But now this record has been broken, with an upcoming PS4 exclusive launching on Steam just weeks after its initial PlayStation launch later this month. You, probably the most die-hard PlayStation fan who usually defends Sony to death and seem they can’t do no wrong (even when they are in the wrong), saying Sony’s on bad form Never did I expect to ever see the day you criticising Sony, even if was as little as saying bad form on their part. As it does it it will bring up the notification saying: "Voice Chats may be recorded for moderation. The developer of the psdeals app said that they will be releasing the android counterpart pretty soon. @Rob_230 We knew during it people were going to dislike it. So is there no such thing as private party anymore? I think just by looking at the fact that I didn't sign up due to that reason we can gauge that a lot of people offered the beta didn't go for it and the reason for that is the above. It's weird, but it's who we are culturally - we are very sensitive about it for some reason. I'll tell you one thing (I know a lot of you are in the UK) one thing that riles up Americans quicker than stealing their hamburger are privacy issues, even in the internet age where everything is more or less recorded in some way. They dont even have a wishlist, you can't have all items in one cart.By the way: sony wishlist is l8mited to 100 items! Basically their only product is Playstation though. Also buying games from a friend wishlist... it seems like a logical thing to do if you want to give them something.Plus it'll help Sony take more money out of my pockets.Agree with all the ideas mentioned so far. @Henlak- next time I'm in a party I'm gonna test this out. "The walls are shifting once again...!" It's really irritating to navigate, it wastes a lot of time, it lags the PS4 when you're trying to do this in some games, it's just all around terrible. It would be nice to have the wish list that you can put on the ps app moved to your Console! Has the Star Trek away team ever beamed down to a planet with significantly higher or lower gravity than Earth? Im fine with this update. It didn't need fixing people. @LiamCroft Kudos for having the right background. I always read stuff like this with mild bemusement. I'm extremely disappointed with this update. Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience. From what I have been reading it sounds awful.
