suspend and resume

Will the ps4 be able to suspend and resume games in the future through an update? Are there any hints, news, or rumors about this feature being implemented? I think it's great on the xone, would love to have it on my ps4 as well.

have heard any updates of it since october.. still in development so who knows when we will get it.

Well you can always hope because greatness awaits ya know.

Heh, eventually, probably right..?

Smh that features that were announced for launch are still not live..

@polishkid99: Unfortunately, I've had a few bad experiences on Xbone's Suspend and Resume. It only takes one time of not working (and losing progress) to put you off from suspending and resuming. It works but it's inconsistent. Of course, I've had my Xbone since launch 2013 so I understand if you have a new Xbone it may take awhile for you to run into the problems of suspend/resume compared to someone who's had the machine for over a year. The more games you have, the more chances you are taking that suspend/resume won't work. It's a game by game thing. I can tell you it seems to work great with some games and poorly with other games. It depends on the developer, the latest update, etc.

A feature like this though is very aggravating if it doesn't work right. It's one of those it has to work 100% of the time or not at all because losing game progress is a terrible feeling.

If Sony does do suspend/resume like they do on Vita, I hope it works well.

Although there are many threads, here's just three of many threads on Xbox.com talking about the saves and progress users lost on the Suspend and Resume feature being unreliable:

Quick game resume not working after last update (Jan 2015 thread title)

The suspend and resume feature is handled differently by different games (probably due to their resource requirements). Games like Forza 5 and Battlefield 4 seem to struggle with the suspend and resume feature but other games I have had resume the next day after using multiple other apps.

However it seems that games will close when loading apps.

Its very frustrating to lose hours of progress in DR3.

The feature does work inconsistently, so you should really be saving your progress when you exit the game.

I'm so cautious though, especially after all these headaches for what was supposed to be convenient.

I probably won't use the feature when they roll it out on PS4 either. I don't have a lot of time to game so when I do, I want to make sure all my save is intact. In a perfect world though, yeah, I'm all for the feature.

@polishkid99: i am sure it's going to be there in a new update soon

@SolidTy:

Ive been having problems with it already, but the concept is so appealing, i want to see it implemented better and accross the board

Definitely agree! :P

i am old, and just getting used to save and autosave feature... :P
