And I really don't see how it tempts people towards an Xbox One instead. Games should be the reason you want a console, not because it can hibernate mid-game.
It's probably easier to suspend and resume 720p then 1080p. Easily explained.
I really don't understand why people are contemplating cancelling their preorder because of this, if they're actually serious that is. Sure, it's slightly disappointing, but it's not a massive deal breaker. Come on...

The feature is coming. Just enjoy the games and other features and wait for it.

We've known about this feature for going on 8 months, and not 10 seconds ago. No need to apologise though.
So you haven't been playing any console games ever?For me, being able to play a game within a few seconds, or having to wait 3 minutes and clicking through all menus and screens, is a deciding factor in whether I'm playing any games at all.
I agree. This seems like a dealbreaker for people who really needed a dealbreaker.I'm pissed it's not there at launch, but the idea of something like this not being there day one being some sort of deal breaker on the console itself is lolworthy.
Hardly the Driveclub nutshot all told. I know I can live with this one.
That said... get it ready A fucking SAP Sony!
My current Gold subscription is valid till December 2014. And as you can freely switch between XBL regions on the Xbox One, I doubt that XBL is going to be problem.Do you have a UK payment method too? Otherwise no Live for you.
And when the PS4 gets that same feature a month or two down the line, you'll be stuck with a more expensive, less powerful gaming device.
LOL Sony eat your heart out!!
1-0 for Ballmer, pop those champagne bottles gentlemen we're going to party. All. Night. Long.

I want this feature for RPGs but there aren't any available on PS4 2013.
Since the PS4 reveal in february till now.... it's 74545454:2 in favour for Sony ;P2-0. Driveclub delay would've been an orgasmic moment compared to hibernating a console!
I'd say that Sony's score is higher than "0" Besides are we really going to make a console war thread out of features that both consoles are (going to) support(ing).2-0. Driveclub delay would've been an orgasmic moment compared to hibernating a console!

Different people want different things.
This feature will definitely come in handy for single player games as well as sports games during situations in which you can't finish but don't want to start over.
There are sports games (such as Madden) that don't give users the ability to make a save point in-game. If they have to shut the console off while they're in a game (say in franchise mode), then they'll have to play that game over again.
Yeah... that's it. Sure.
Someone could make a dozen different threads like this for various features favoring all three consoles in different light. How is a thread like this even justified?
A feature like this is actually very much part of "next gen goodness" for me. I want more than just a more powerful consoleEh ? I don't get this thread
Surely the quality of the game and its performance is more important than how quickly a resume feature when turning back on rolls out ?
Sony, focus on your drivers and next gen goodness please...its the reason we are upgrading...
LOL Sony eat your heart out!!

Dang, I thought we were only counting the last 10 days!
I'm more talking to the knowledge of it more than the length of time. I suppose because it was a boasted feature is what made you anticipate it, but what I don't understand is how important such a feature could be that it'd be a detriment to the console overall or Sony's philosophy.

Last 10 days was more like 72(0p) : 2
This is true. Going back a bit further I have the scores at 720 and 1080 in Sony's favour.
It doesn't - when did I say that? I said it not being there seems like the sort of thing that would have happened by Sony the start of this gen.
.
While CoD probably more 'social media publicity' in the past days than it did throughout the year. ( man, the hype for Ghost seems to be an all-time low )
Oh no. Will just have to cope with the better versions of multiplats until this is patched in.
If I was MS I would focus on getting the games running properly and less on the apps.
Seems to me they got their priorities seriously mixed up somewhere...
which feature would any rational person pick - game runs at half resolution OR game resumes more quickly ...
