Naughty Dog: PS4 Multiplayer Updates & Uncharted 4 Survival Mode
Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4 now features new PlayStation 4 multiplayer updates and a Survival Mode with a PS4 video trailer and all the details below! 
To quote from Vinit Agarwal on the PlayStation Blog: Survival isn’t all you’ll find in our latest patch—we’re also adding a ton of new content for Uncharted 4 Multiplayer, including two new maps, five flashback weapons, new vanity items and color variant options, as well as an all-new mode: King of the Hill.
We’re also introducing Relic Boosters that give you a 300% increase in Relics earned for completing matches and also include a stackable bonus for all other players on your team. Anyone who purchases or has purchased Uncharted Points in the past will also earn VIP Status, which includes a permanent 20% bonus to all Relics earned from Challenges.
Check out our patch notes page for a full list of the Economy 2.0 changes.

PS4 1.76 Game Decryption / Homebrew Kernel Console IDPS Address
Previously we reported on a PS4 1.76 Kernel ELF followed by PS4 Kernel ELF Loading and Hooking which brings us to a UniversalFlash App WIP from earlier this week, and now HybridComputers shared a gift with the community! 
To quote from the English translation via @juansbeck in the forum HERE:
Hello vultraid, I admire your job
This is the address of idps in the kernel 1.76 to decrypt what you want in terms of games or apply to homebrew
Offset 0XFFFFFFFF833242F8 console id
ipdsfullkernel1.76universalflash.jpeg
This is the command:
This is the complete kernel in case you want to see yourselves
kernelfulluniversalflash1.76.rar
Greetings and I hope this helps in the advance of the scene.
While it'd be simply festivus if this localized PS4 Console ID aided in a PS4 Spoofer, according to @xxmcvapourxx this is from the old 1.76 kernel and thus nothing to get overly excited about at the moment.
Cheers to @juansbeck, @spyro2670, @TheOneAngel and @VultraAID in the PSXHAX Shoutbox for their contributions to this update.

LudicrousBeach's PS4 GTA V 1.76 Mod Remote Procedure Calling Tool
We've seen PS4 GTA V with Native Code, Real-Time Demo 2 and a GTAV PS4 Mod Menu and today LudicrousBeach shared a PS4 GTA V modding 1.76 Remote Procedure Calling Tool demonstration video with details below! 
He notes in the video's caption that this is just an insight on development progress for the PS4 and is not currently possible to mod online.
To quote from Ludicrous Beach on NGU: Brief Summary
After a few weeks of research and development on my PS4, I've created a small tool to show the possibilities on the PS4. This is very similar to what Bad ChoicesZ has done (Created an API, to allow reading / writing to process memory, then creating an RPC in assembly for GTA).
Note the same thing can be done for any game on the PS4, i just started with GTA as i'm familiar with a lot of it from PS3. Before you ask, no you can't get online, at least not yet.
Side Note
I was thinking of creating an EBOOK on Computing, which will cover all concepts related to modding on PS3 and PS4. This will take a while as im currently at University studying a Computer Science degree. I just wanted to know if people were interested in such a thing and if people wanted to learn.
This is a quick initial thought and breakdown of headings to be covered, if you want any others covering be sure to tell me be in the comments below;
