New PS4 firmware 1.70 to be released next week!
Some weeks ago, we reported that a new PS4 firmware was announced, which will add some new features like dimming the light bar at the Dualshock 4 controller and some more things.
Today information was made public, that said a new PS4 firmware update will be shipped as firmware 1.70 in approx. 7 days.
If we take a closer look at our previous Blog article, we will see that they want to add a rich video editor, which should be easy to use for personalizing video clips, so they can become your very own masterpieces. Additionally to this new editor it will be possible to export and save your media files to an USB drive, which is currently not possible.
Another new feature of this new firmware will be that you will be able to turn off the HDCP protection for capturing gameplay via HDMI, something that Sony promised at the launch of the Playstation 4, but was not yet able to implement.
Stay tuned for more!

And the ability to play videos/music/photos from a USB drive? What about this small but important feature?
THIS should lead to a work around for the video via USB issue…. MABEY some lengthy formatting files to fit specs, but since I don’t have showtime anymore and wiimc cant seem to play anything but 480p correctly, I’m satisfied at the moment. It makes since for sony to push the unlimited services since microsoft hasnt gone willy nilly on media playback…. first to budge will make the other move…. Maneuver a well thought out marketing campaign on both sides.
Well that’s some good features. Especially the image quality of twitch and uStream videos needs to be improved and the ordering of apps is necessary.
What I would like for the future are apps to play music, view images and view movies from discs, USB-storages, HDD or media servers… There is already a player for Bluray and DVD playback, that could be advanced into such an app.
I don’t see a tweet on his timeline confirming about next week?
Where is the feature of allowing the use of your ps vita and ps3 games?
PS3 games not gonna happen without PS Now or specifically designed ports. The architecture is not compatible. Completely different designs. Why would they put VITA games on the PS4 and kill VITA sales. That makes no sense.
how about downloading ps vita games and transfer them to the vita, like the ps3 can? 🙂
I’m surprised that the ps4 cannot already do this.
I would say its more about organizing the store than the system.
It seems to me that both of the next gen systems seem to be lacking in simple things to make the over all user exp more fun. I still remember the joy I felt playing a CD in my PS1 or a DVD in my PS2 even though both are video game systems. I do like to do more with my system.
they should make a youtube app or atleast fix the browser for video playback
Wondering why my coment was erased… pm me @ zoraktorok please
Nevermind.. awaiting moderation, didnt show it to me untill I posted that last message.
A little step for ps4 , and a little step 4 the players too, for sure this update can’t win the best firmware of the year prize (if there is one).
Supposedly the VITA TV is getting an update in Japan for PS4 remote play as well. Worth noting, cause that is a purchasing reason for some people. And I will admit, it would be pretty nice to stream a game like Towerfall to another room of my house. Both on Ethernet, the lag would probably be minimal. Can’t wait to test it. The only thing halting my purchase is confirmation, and that darn U.S. store support. Please Sony Please…
ver1.70 can upload video to niconico!
I’d like to know how long video recording could we do now?
