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

AlfredoTurkey on 10 February 2015

All I want if game suspensions. Remember that guys? Where Sony said (WAY before launch) that you'd be able to suspend a game, turn off the system and then come back to it right in the same spot you were before turning the system off?

Where is THAT? I think it's about time to give us something they promised. Other than that, I'm good lol

I have been saying this for a while now. Yes I feel the PS4 is slow with the updates but in a way I also understand why they aren't rushing them out.

None of the features lacking right now are things that would make someone not buy a ps4. And while its easy to list out things that the XB1 has or now has, there are a lot of things that are way more important to gamers that the PS4 always/now has that still haven't come to the XB1.

I really would wish that the PS4 gets more and more features thrown in, I've just stopped expecting miracles to happen. Or accept that most of the things we would want aren't integral to making the best gaming console possible. Which is clearly where Sony's focus is. 

as for features, funny thing is that the PS4 already does almost everything I want it to do. all I need now is video playback support from internal/external HDD. that's it.

Very well said.  +1

I don't even know which features PS4 has or which it is missing.
I turn it on, play a game, turn it off. It does those three things, I don't need anything else.

Many of the updates Xbox One were getting was already on PS4. This is why it seems PS4 is getting slow updates.

I think it does its main feature reasonably well enough. They gotta work on the OS but why rush when they got a whole gen.

Only thing i want is suspend resume games like the vita. Other than that its all things that can come and it will be welcome but I'm not bothered by not having them.

Suspend, resume is something they should have by now. Although I'm not sure how fast it can be.

Actually, with the likes of playstation vue, looks like Sony's strategy with the ps4 has changed. They went hard-line on gaming at launch, now they realise the smart-tv-box is where the big money is if they can get it right. This will require a lot of features that are currently missing, and has probably resulted in the scrapping of some old features that were in progress.

Multimedia features are nice and all. But for a games console, I want game-related features. I don't care if my console has Skype or Youtube when I can do those things more easily on my PC or smartphone. Heck, even the Vita can do some of that stuff more practically than a home console could.

The PS4 has a good number of game-related features. I've been pretty happy with the some of the "Share" functionality by saving screenshots and video clips. Shareplay and Remote Play are also nice features.
