The update 2.0 finally arrived and the gap (alredy favorable to PS4) in gaming OS features  in increasing. After a great launch with a more solid, roubust and fast OS the PS4 system growedin beaultiful way.

The core system, the heart or base, continue great showing that the initial feature better or not present in the closest rivial is yet there:

  • Play Go / Intall System are amazing better... most games takes less than 1 minute to start to play while the others guys are yet facing 20, 30, 40, 60 minutes of boring waiting times.
  • Patch System initially was bad when the game updates were cumulative and BF4 patch reached 4GB but today it is good... patch didn't get bigger than 1GB anymore (in most cases is way less than that like 200-300MB)... in the green side they faces 10, 12, 16, 20GB patches.
  • OS Response is crazy fast... apps open in 1 second and shift between app and game is instantaneos... same for messages, friends, etc... it is amazingballs fast. Well the rivals yet have an OS that lags to open apps (4-5 seconds) and the navigations is really more well slow than PS4... even key apps like message and friend list takes some time to open.
  • Share is just what sold PS4 at begin... it have issues at start but it was aways better than the rivals feature... you can even take screenshots (a super advanced feature that the green side counld't implement yet)
  • Remote Play absolutelly works... it is a new way to play when you are not close to your PS4... you can play even in another city or state... it is amazing.

There are more core features better then the oppsite side but more happened and more features were added:

  • PlayStation Now that brings BC for popular PS3 games
  • Share Factory 
  • Twitch HD with Archive
  • Enhancements in Share, Share Factory, etc

And then they did the update 2.0 that finally put the OS featrues in a new level of gaming experience:

  • The OS is even faster (you can't believe how they increased the performance)
  • YouTube support
  • Music Player
  • SharePlay, you need to use to see how amazing it is.
  • Themes
  • Enhancements in Message, Party, etc.

That is guys the gap in OS gaming features and user experience is growing... one year and Sony managed to widen this gap that at first looked the opposite because you know MS is the company that created the Windows.

Congrats Sony for the amazing work you are doing with this console. Yeap it is not only the sales gap that is increasing.

PS. I touched only some keys features... the post could get way bigger if I get more into the subject

 

 

 

/thread. You're goddam right. Haters gonna hate.

To bad u can't suspended/resume on it

It can... It can't enter in Standby (Rest Mode) with suspend... if you are playing a game and change to Netflix your game will be suspended (it won't be using CPU or GPU... only memory).


Sry guess I got confused since Sony themselves said its not cancelled yesterday so I didnt think it was out

I can't wait to get mine...but It's going to have to wait until after I get my WiiU. You know, Smash Bros. and all.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I think the suspend/resume feature Sony wants is not implemented on Xbone too... the difference today is that Xbone can get into StandBy but PS4 not.

Both didn't allow you to change game or turn off the console... I guess will come with something that will works for all... it is the challenge.

It´s getting easier and easier to guess the autor of some threads...

However this thread deserves the price of the most deslusional ever.

You guy realy have some self-assurance issues. Put some more effort to it, may be with other self delusional posts on Neogaf. It´s not that hard.

The messaging system and friends list on PS4 is terrible. The loading of your friends has got better since the patch but sometimes before the patch i couldn't even load my friends list along with my notifications, and the messages take me 15 seconds to load (its used to take 5 seconds before patch), and a lot of people say it takes close to a minute to load theirs.

Well some of this is bull crap. Faster os? so what! Microsoft still a OS that is easier to navigate around with. It's slower, but instead of clicking on 10 different things to get to one thing, you're there in one or two clicks. You also forgot to mention that. Also Xbox gets monthly updates to its OS, you forgot THAT as well! Don't get me wrong the PS4 has a faster OS, but faster isn't ALWAYS better.

The music player is still disappointing and seems half assed. Why can't we just load files onto the console. This is crucial for features like sound of the show in MLB.

You are using the word delusional incorrectly.

Delusional describes someone who is partaking in a delusion. A delusion is a false reality. The growth in PS4 features is fact. Prior to 2.0, such as launch, it did not have these features, but now it does. So it is truth.

Hence not a delusion.

The more you know.
