The latest PlayStation 4 update is out today (30 April 2014) and it comes with a whole lot of new features for the discerning gamer.
The highlight of the package is ShareFactory, which allows you to customise and share videos of your gameplay.
Here are the highlights of what Sony has bestowed on us lowly console gamers:
ShareFactory
ShareFactory allows you to customise your gameplay videos with special effects, video commentary with picture-in-picture capability through the PlayStation Camera, and custom soundtracks using the included audio tracks or your original music imported from a USB drive.
You can then share your videos on Facebook or export them to an external USB storage device.
Automatic pre-download
This allows you to get to your games faster by automatically downloading select pre-ordered games up to several days in advance of the release, so that it’s ready to play as soon as the game is released on launch day.
Option to disable HDCP for games
This feature will allow you to have the option to turn off HDCP for games so you can capture longer gameplay sessions directly from your HDMI output and export them elsewhere.
Live broadcasting in HD and archiving support
Host live broadcasts and watch games livestreamed in 720p HD. You can also archive your broadcasts on Twitch or Ustream and watch them again later.
New DualShock 4 options
New light bar settings have been added, allowing you to change it to bright, medium, or dim in the Settings menu. The touchpad has also been updated, allowing you to use it to navigate the on-screen keyboard.
