I have to admit, suspend is cool and all but I don't see why people were making a big deal about it. I simply don't get the importance. Most games autosave anyway. This isn't a replacement for those situations where you needed a memory card and didn't have one and so you just keep the game on pause. lol... I'm telling my age :)

Good for times when you haven't reached a save point, and have to go. Recently I played an rpg that had two dungeons where it took me three hours in between save points, even though I was rushing to get to it during the last hour. That's just bad design though, but as for "Most games autosave anyway", besides the fact that those auto-saves occur during certain checkpoints, and you may not want to go back to it again if you have to quit, in my experience most games do not even have the auto-save feature.


Looking at my own physical games, it'll be faster to list the games that support an auto-save feature during gameplay rather than the ones that don't.

Lightning Returns
Final Fantasy XIII-2
..... and I believe that's it.

That said, many games allow you to save often, while many games also don't. So it's a nice feature to have.

Well that a rational and reasonable explaination so thanks.

I've been waiting for the trophy delete feature for a long time.

Oh, I didn't know the PS4 didn't have it. Its a nice feature but its not that great. The quick X1 start up is really good though.

I thought it was more sad because screen shots is better than the suspend/resume. That makes a lot more sense. And yeah i came here right now to say that obviously if you value screenshots more, then thats your opinion and i should respect that. So sorry for the agressiveness! btw i love fairy tail haha

Screenshots >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> suspend/resume.

Suspend/resume is a feature that neither 10% of the gamers will use... Screenshots everybody uses or at least over 90%.

There is no comparision here... it is just a feature more used than other... so I like how Sony priorize the most used features first.

Where are you getting your stats from? 90% of gamers don't take screenshots daily, and I'm pretty sure more than 10% are using the suspend and resume feature...

Hell yeah! Now I can continue Shadow Of Mordor without saving!



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

I like the idea of being able to delete trophies.
