Sony Puts PS4's Suspend Feature on Hold Until After Launch

Seems the PS4 may have been a bit rushed.

So.....whats the big deal about it, it doesn't sounds like it was a important feature anyways.

I'd rather not have it, than it be faulty, I'd hate to take a break and come back to an hours worth of game gone.

@Daryusp Xbone is rushed! Their own sofware team leader doesn't know if their games run in 1080p native. Until now it's only forsa

@Sanquine It's worse than that the xbone can't even let you put your own background art (Anime Pictures) in the UI but they let you "change your color or your menu tiles though" LOL and for the controllers they still use batteries WTF. Microsoft stated that you cannot use your original 360 controller nor use your charge up kit for the xbone controller because how it was developed so if that isn't rushed you tell me.

@D3athBr1ng3r187 I want my background filled with Infinite stratos pics !

@Sanquine LOL I wanted my background with Gundam pics but it's looks like it isn't going to work with xbone eternal sadness.......but I preordered a PS4 so i'm good.

@D3athBr1ng3r187 Haha, some Xbone hate? I'm also tired of the M brand. 5 Times RROD and all those damn batteries and no exclusives that could match Playstation 3 resulted in my decision to not buy it ( maybe later down the line but Microsoft already made a decision for me for not giving my country a release date = 2014)

@Sanquine Nah just business should been better with the console the hate comes with all those 7 RROD systems I been buying for years and horrible xbone draconian plans. I'm not a console fanboy at all just I have my favorite system which is the Playstation and for microsoft I'll buy they system down the line for now. But i'm ready to IMPORT me some PS4 japanese titles.

All part of the joy of getting a console at launch. Always a few things that need ironing out. It will get sorted.

The suspend of the handheld was my favourite PSPgo feature. You could pause whatever game anytime, browse the net, listen to .mp3, watch videos or even play another game and continue your suspended game later.

@Ginkgo Indeed.

Mildly disappointed, but it's no big deal. Just hope it's fully thought out. Slightly concerned that by not being available at launch, it may cause problems with early games when it's finally activated.

I hope it will be ready B4 2014, but if not its still all good! =)

@D3athBr1ng3r187 lol .. Gundam Pics do make the Best Wallpapers!!! XD

@Daryusp
I don't see this as being an issue. Having said that, like Daryusp, I suspect that ps4 was indeed rushed because of the lack of exclusives. I bought my all my previous playstations at launch for exclusive games (except ps1 which I didn't get at launch) but this time round I only see concentration on ps3 games instead. But no matter, those exclusives will come in time and be sweet.

Now all the PS4 bad news is trickling in at the end here. This is upsetting. We lost Watch Dogs and Drive Club, lost the suspend feature, lost the headset support. Wow.

@ScreamAimFire99

The games are the bigger deal but it reeks of laziness no question. I don't care what anyone says, there's no excuse not to have this stuff done by launch. It's a shame that Sony has stumbled so terribly here at the end.

Meanwhile working-class families in the UK live in poverty......

The amusing thing is, as far as I can recall, the suspend feature was never promised at launch by Sony? Only as a feature of the console. It's like the rest of the feature list is suddenly void & non viable due to one feature being activated at a later date. Seriously people put ya dummy back in

Hope you still will be able to go to Live Area to answer a PSN message without need to close the game.

I completely forgot it could even do this until I read that post about the patch. So no, it doesn't bother me too much.

@Sanquine i got only 1 RRoD and then i sent it in then got it back a week later i got it back it wouldnt turn on. i bought the Xbox 360 slim and it had some problems too, deleted things on my hard drive and it even wiped it self once. im sick of the Microsoft Brand when it comes to gaming. only 3 games i like from microsoft at least 2 are for PC. and thats the first 3 Halo games. thats it. wish Halo 3 came out for PC tho.... but with that said i dont much care for the rest of the Halo Games, even reach.

Now for the PS4 as long as it comes in an update instead of a promised feature than never comes then im fine with it. ratyher have it work than become faulty

@Sanquine This post is about the ps4, not the xb1...

@get2sammyb Only one game (Killzone) worth getting at launch seems a bit rushed to me. Cloud service won't be available until next year sometime. Won't be able to record through HDMI until next year some time. All the GREAT exclusives are releasing in 2014. Seems to me the only reason they're releasing now is because they don't want Microsoft to get a headstart again.

@Daryusp There's more than just game worth getting at launch than just Killzone and with the PS4 coming out only a few months before some of its more exciting features in no way means that it's rushed. There's actually more evidence pointing to the Xbone being rushed to market than their is evidence of the PS4 being rushed out, so maybe you would have a better time making a big deal out of that.
