This was one of the most interesting features about the PS4 which I was generally looking forward to using, seeing how well it works on the Vita. It was also a feature that Mark Cerny boasted at the PS Meeting in February. This seems typical old Sony of past years. I'm knobbed off about it.

Edit - to all those throwing the 'agenda' comment - check post history.

TheRealTalker · Oct 26, 2013

Interesting.... Wonder when Sony will patch it in

LevityNYC · Oct 26, 2013

preorder canceled.

Now you know what this thread is about, guys!

When did Sony say PS4 didn't?

lowhighkang_LHK · Oct 26, 2013

*Cancels ps4 pre-order. But then thinks about all the ways PS4 is the awesome sauce and decides not to.*

Septimus · Oct 26, 2013

Yeah this freakin' sucks. Hopefully they patch that in soon. Vita has spoiled me.

Portugeezer · Oct 26, 2013

Strange that they talked about it since February but didn't manage to implement it in the day one update.

How hard can suspending everything in the RAM be?

In the FW1.5 patch notes, at the bottom.

No agenda here.

Backfoggen · Oct 26, 2013

I find it very weird that PS4 doesn't ship with this feature. Did they run into last minute troubles? At their Gamescom press conference Killzone booted up so fast it had to be suspended.

Ocelott · Oct 26, 2013

Pre-Ordered Cancelled x2

reptilescorpio · Oct 26, 2013

Wait, when did they say the PS4 wouldn't have suspend?

RaikuHebi · Oct 26, 2013

It does support it at launch. The update will be available at launch.

DBT85 · Oct 26, 2013

Would be nice to have but I'm sure it won't take them long.

Frillen · Oct 26, 2013

That settles it.

Preorder status: Cancelled

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Oct 26, 2013

Canceling all 8 Preorders.

bidguy · Oct 26, 2013

suspend/resume is probably the best feature on these consoles

weird that sony cant get it working on launch.

Gemüsepizza · Oct 26, 2013

Preorder cancelled.

I'm pretty sure they are working hard on this, nothing to worry imo - it will come.

No it doesn't. It's not in the patch.

zinder · Oct 26, 2013

RaikuHebi said:

False. The update clearly states that it's unavailable at launch and will be added at a later day.

With that being said, preorder cancelled.

CrunchinJelly · Oct 26, 2013

This thing really wasn't supposed to launch until 2014, was it?

Unrelated, but why is it that when I click your link, I get this:

From the firmware 1.5 notes:

US PS Blog said:
Some features will not be available at launch, such as “suspend/resume mode” which is a feature that keeps the PS4 system in a low power state and promptly takes users back to their game. We will provide additional information about system software update version 1.50 and features available at the PS4 system’s North America launch, and features that will be available after launch, in the near future.

The Mana Legend · Oct 26, 2013

Yeah, Xbone is looking more and more appetizing than the PS4 at launch, that's for sure. I don't plan on getting it until Titanfall, but if I'm in the position to get one this holiday (possibly from a bonus check or something), I certainly would think about it.

Tourmeta · Oct 26, 2013

That's kinda bad, they've mentioned that feature quite a bit and I would have expected it to be there at launch, hopefully it's not too far away.

Won't affect me at least since I'm waiting until early next year. That is unless they're really slow on it.

Mihael Mello Keehl · Oct 26, 2013

Everything has to be a war huh?

Remote play is the best feature of any of these new consoles, and Sony has that working on day 1.

6.8 · Oct 26, 2013

Microsoft gives us new features since the announcement. Sony takes them away. The more things change....

SJRB · Oct 26, 2013

I don't fully understand the significance of this feature if it gets people to cancel pre-orders about it and whatnot.

RaikuHebi · Oct 26, 2013

My mistake.

Tobor said:

Exactly.

ThoughtsOfSpeaking · Oct 26, 2013

I really dont understand why this is a big deal. It takes less than 30 seconds for a PS3/360 to boot up and another seconds to get into a game. Once the game is booted you can switch between Games and apps just like the Vita.

This and the crying over instant switching of games that xbox one defenders did just after the reversal make me wonder What level of OCD do you need to have for these things to be an issue?

Jesus....

Huddy · Oct 26, 2013

There is already a thread on Firmware 1.50 that you even posted in mentioning about suspend/resume.

A feature with a $200 price tag.

Y2Kev · Oct 26, 2013

Has anyone tweeted yosp to ask when it will be there?

Oh wow that seems odd if it's only for the low power mode, I wonder what the issue is.

It really doesn't, with all the multiplatform news Microsoft is having a worse and worse time.

Doctor Ninja · Oct 26, 2013

It doesn't really affect me personally but it does suck if this feature wasn't available at launch for consumers.

Chinner · Oct 26, 2013

don't buy a product if it doesnt offer the features or games you want.

FeiRR · Oct 26, 2013

Let the feature wars commence! PS4 supports real names at start and X1 doesn't.

Vashetti · Oct 26, 2013

Now let's list all the features that are coming for the Xbox One after launch.

I've already bought a Vita. Do I need to buy another Vita again?

Agreed. I don't get why people are cancelling their PS4 preorders over such a little thing.
