Forums - Sony - PS4 Biggest Advantages in OS Gaming Features Over the Competition

@ethomaz - i appreciate what you are doing here. last gen ps3's OS and network was definitely subpar to xbox's. this gen things have completely taken a complete 180. playstation has bested xbox in almost every possible way you could compare them AND has awesome new features like shareplay that moves gaming forward.

still,.. many want to believe ms is still the gold standard. it will take a while for everyone's opinions to change. haters will always hate.  ..but the facts do not lie. playstation really leads the pack these days.

welp, this will never end.  I will come back to this thread when game streaming becomes relevant. For now, try to enjoy your 720p and 30fps games with input lag. I don't know how anyone possibly could. 

You should realize that remote control without even minor input lag, goes against speed of light data transfer rules.  The fact that they've created this sytem, and it's been reported that the input lag is very minimal, is impressive.

Discuss the topic at hand. Do not attack the OP. Do not attack eachother. If you disagree with ethomaz or he got something wrong, then point it out. Do not attack him or anyone else in the thread.



                            

Besides the obvious amazingly amazing, awesome, amazingballs features like Remote Play, Share Play and Playstation Now, I don't see the advantage over the competition I know of. Would anyone care to eloborate?

And indeed deserved sales, but if it truly was about OS features then the competition deserves more than they are currently doing now as well :)



Alright guys, let's all calm down in here. The mod team has decided that addressing the OP instead of the topic is something we're all against and will thus be moderated more harshly from here on out. So as examples from this thread:

"People like you make me not want to buy a PS4. It's like dealing with Apple iSheep few years back..." from Disolitude and the response to that from Kitler

and

"You are like the toastboy of the playstation brand lol. I salute you. But all of the listed items are just based on opinions obviously." from Sweettalia

will not be allowed. Keep this in mind if you want to post in a thread. The place to discuss someone's conduct in general is not in every thread they ever make. Address the content, not the poster, and if you have something you want to talk about with a poster about their conduct in general than keep that to walls and PMs.

Thanks for your attention and if you miss this reply and do the above anyway that's really your own fault for not reading.

Always like your topics ethomaz. Keep on informing people of the awesome features the PS4 has to offer. MY fav feature is remote play. I play PS4 games more on my vita then on my PS4, lol.



Good thread, it kills a myth



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Agreed with the mods here, the attacks on etho are uncalled for. He makes some great and perfectly valid points in the OP, all of which I agree with



Having only used the PS4 for 15-20 hours, but not owning one, I can say that it seems to be normal. By that I mean it didn't seem fast or slow. As for the new features, they sound good if you have interest in them. But, like ANY feature, it only matters to those that use it. I myself would Never use a cellphone or handheld to play my console games. I have big hands and can't stand either for that purpose. But, I could see my kids loving it. At some point, I will get a PS4 and will probably laugh at these debates over how many seconds between a click and activation.



It is near the end of the end....

Well I needed to rework my thread because you know mods... so here you go my new version.

-----

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 growed in beaultiful way.

The core system, the heart or base, continue to be great and improving:

  • Play Go / Intall System are amazing better... most games takes less than 1 minute to start to play
  • 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)...
  • 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
  • Share is just what sold PS4 at begin... you can even take screenshots (a super advanced feature)
  • 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.

More appened and more features were added:

  • PlayStation Now that brings BC for popular PS3 games
  • Share Factory I don't need to explain... if you use Share you needs that app
  • Twitch HD with Archive nice addictions for streaming
  • Enhancements in Share, UI, 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 finally
  • Music Player finally and you can play it in background playing in full screen (awesome)
  • SharePlay, you need to use to see how amazing it is.
  • Themes please try the Destiny's theme
  • Remote Play for Android's phones
  • Enhancements in Message, Party, etc.

The gap in OS gaming features and user experience is growing... close to one year and Sony managed to make the system even more desired for these that loves to game.

Congrats Sony for the amazing work you are doing with this console... deserved sales.

 

I won't close my eyes to you... if you keep the good work I will be happy but you need to improve even more and I expect more soon... if not I will blame and trash you due the incompetence.

 

Have a nice day guys.

Well it has the best spec to back up the OS so it's definitely the best.

But people will hate reality they will insist to defend their own console no mater how bad their console is even the fact like this is logicaly true and an undenible.

hope people will understand especially the hater that there is no benefit hating PS4 :D
