PS4 is getting new features very slow. What do you think?

... go back to pre-release PS4 and look at what they promised, we should be there now and they should be expanding on that. Instead we arent even close to it yet and it doesnt look any closer than we did at launch.

Errrr, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

pre release this is what we were promised.

 

• game DVR
• share for videos and pictures 
• share play (allow your friend take the controller)
• BC support via gakai (PlayStation now)
• cross party chat
• instant game resume

now what we have is

• everything on that list except instant game resume
• PlayStation vue (currently in closed beta)
• dynamic themes

so I really don't know what you mean. could you kindly tell us all these features that were promised that they have not come close to giving?

 

playGo was promised and delivered.

digital pre-loading wasn't promised and delivered.

i forget if remote play was promised or not.  i feel like it was and it was also delivered and a far better experiense than anyone expected.

spotify is bringing with it background music and should be here shortly (yes, free too).

plex brings in DNLA capabilities too (yes, a free base user as well).

 

xbox's OS was just way behind ps4 when it launch.  maybe it will surpase it someday but to date ps4 is very competitive at market.   how anyone can say ps4 is behind xbox becasue it is getting "more frequent updates" is beyond me.   xbox still can't take a simple screenshot yet...  

 

edit: and i'm not entirely sure i get the critisim of "instant game resume".  games suspend while i'm on the ps4 and i can go watch some netflix or browse the web.   that is the important suspend mode not the turn the system off suspend mode.  yeah, i'll take it but it soo much more important to me that i can suspend a game to start a party chat or look up some cheat on gamefaqs or just watch an episode of whatever and then come back.
