This. I can't imagine this feature being AWOL for too long.

Xbox One supports Suspend/Resume at launch, PS4 doesn't
- Thread starter driver116
- Start date
And with this feature, your game would be ready for you when you turn the console back on.
Seems like a good thing to me.
You can still do that.
Guess what? If they have suspend mode, you can still do it your way.

Aside from a great launch line-up you mean? Surprised you didn't chuck an "M$" in there.

This doesn't seem like a good idea.

One of those little features I give a lot of value. Good on them for having this at launch.

Xbots? It wasnt nice knowing you. Go back to whatever cave you crawled out from.
You will not be missed.
My thoughts exactly. It's getting to the point where it's just a hair-splitting contest.

Am I the only one that thinks banning the spamming of the "preorder cancelled" meme needs to be considered? At this point it's basically being used to say "this is bad news but I don't care". It hurts discussion to respond to every negative thing with "but we have good things Y and Z so bad thing X doesn't matter".
And it shouldn't be forgotten by many in this thread that every time we get a thread about things concerning the Xbox One not being available at launch, many of which were smaller than this, we would get a stream of "not ready", "rushed", "more 180s" often whether the feature was confirmed for launch or not, etc. I don't like such unequal treatment of similar news by those quick to categorize information into a narrative based on which console it's about. It goes both ways of course but when I see stuff like this I like to point it out.

"Xbots"? Are you kidding? Come on, man.

This feature is absolutely amazing on the Vita. I hope the PS4 is updated soon after launch to support this feature.
Also, suspend/resume is not the same as multitasking or dl'ing a game from sleep mode. The PS4 supports these features at launch.

Oh yeah, well, the jerk store called...

I wish Sony would just tell us when we can expect it. I am confident it won't be a long wait, but I'd still like to know when.
Because Microsoft's OS will totally be feature complete on Nov. 22nd, right?
I hate that fucking term.

While I agree the "preorder canceled" joke is a bit overdone, to complain that Microsoft is bashed more often than Sony is not controllable and shouldn't be controlled, we'll, because, you know, those are the opinions people maintain. Neogaf just seems to like Sony more.

isn't the title a bit misleading?
Will Microsoft's console lack something as simple as suspend/resume, a feature every modern device has?
edit: This isn't rhetorical.
seems a bit foreshadowing... removing the feature at launch would remove the bug. unless there is something bigger going on that I am not aware of.
Pay 100 dollars to get the Xbone if that feature is worth it for you at launch. Seriously.

do people still not know what the suspend/resume function is?
with PS4 firmware 1.5 you WILL BE ABLE TO:
-switch between your game and other apps (ie: multitasking)
-allow the PS4 to download things while it's asleep (much like PS+ users have been doing on PS3 for a long time)
-wake up your PS4 remotely via Vita or the PS App on a smartphone
with PS4 firmware 1.5 you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO:
-pause your game, put the PS4 to sleep, and then come back later and turn it on, bringing the game up immediately right where you left off.
so that's what's missing until they add it in via 1.6 or whatever. then it will be just like Vita when you hit the power button while in a game/app. THAT'S ALL. simply the ability for the PS4 to freeze the RAM state while an app is active. they probably have some issues with it they are ironing out, as they have it working perfectly on Vita. i've even had my Vita refuse to turn on because of low battery while it was suspended, and once i charged it, i turned it on and it brought me right back to where my game was. magic.

It's essentially like saying, "Kinect included in XB1. Oh god. Reminds me of the 'old Microsoft" trying to force the Kinect again."
It's not a necessary comment.
You are complaining about a delayed feature is ignoring all the *new* features that the PS4's XMB/System Software will be adding...those of which were impossible on the PS3 due to hardware limitations (RAM). Look at the big picture, then claim "old Sony."
Watch what you say since the first report of *any* failed XB1's will result in a "RROD Part 2" deluge. "Old Microsoft, here we go again..."
????
No kidding. That's why the subject header says Suspend/Resume. That's why it sucks. The ability to pause a game, suspend the console, and the come right back later to exactly where you were quickly is the feature Sony touted back in Feb. That's what people like myself were expecting. It'll eventually be there. Can't blame people for being upset that it's not there day 1.
What is an xbot?
Yes I mean Penello.
So people are jumping to conclusions? Penello needs to clarify. It can be taken to mean multitasking (which the PS4 will do at launch), or suspend (a game) to sleep mode, (which the PS4 will not do at launch).

yeah it's fine to be upset if you know what it is, but there are still tons of people in the thread that, even after it's been explained several times, still think that it means they can't download things in the background or switch between apps.
Go on ...
