The suspend feature kinda been around since 2004. DS and PSP. You could put both to sleep, wake them up, and be back in the game where you left off. I have the PS4 reveal on HDD and Cerny did indeed announce it before they showed the system. Now even Switch uses it. So a pretty standard feature now that we got 16 years ago.

I thought it was inspired on iPhone and similars having multifunction and suspending your play.

Hard to be inspired by Apple if you already did it before yourself. Not like Apple ever invented anything. They took existing ideas and made it sleeker,more expensive and nice marketing. iPhone wasn't a thing until 2007 and Smartphones been on the market since 1994. LG Prada in 2006 looked basically the foundation for how Smartphones look today. Also was the first with capacitive touchscreen. Maybe Cerny said it I dunno but Sony was using the feature on both PSP and Vita before PS4.

Hey I guess I said it wrong way.

I thought it was inspired by Apple/tablets/smartphones, meaning I was wrong on not knowing it was done before by themselves.

Didn't PS4 have quick resume? Or is that suspend? I never used it anyway. Load times should be faster at least and it might come later. I wonder how much disk space it will use, I guess it needs to dump the active memory to disk for quick resume.

I'm not aware of any tvs that support 1440p? Never seen one. Sony makes consoles for tvs, not monitors, they never have. But I guess it can be patched in later, though probably not.

Indeed very odd ps5 games can't be copied. Perhaps that's also not ready yet, just like you can't connect any internal SSD drive yet. VRR will come as well.


The launch for both seems too early, no new games on one side, features not ready on the other. Hopefully all that there is works well unlike FS2020 which is still in beta lol. (Playing right now, so many streaming issues lately)

Yea I never used suspend/resume on PS4 either, because the sleep mode consumes a lot of energy. My PC has a sleep mode with under 1W consumption that dumps the ram onto the HDD and resumes from there - I use that all the time as it's super convenient and I hope the new consoles have this aswell.

Tons of TVs have 1440p support these days, as it's part of the HDMI 1.3 feature set (and required since 1.4 afaik). I haven't seen a TV that has a native display res of 1440p, but the ones I've used scale it quite well for 4k. As I mentioned it'd be great for 120Hz modes that render above 1080p (admittedly that will probably be rare outside of pixel games), because many TVs already support 120Hz input up to 1440p and just a few do 4k120.
