This feature makes up a bit for the friend notifications thing for me, if it works well:
I mean, that's pretty much what you want. Hop on, see what's up. They ought to do regular notifications as well of course (that I would personally turn off, but it should be there).
That's just... saving. Resuming from suspend is like instant boot.

Sony are very cautious after their PS3 "random number" fail which enabled a total system takeover.

Yeah, but imagine that without having to go through splash screens and menus.

Basically, yeah. Online kicks you from the servers. You'll still be in the game but just sitting at a disconnect screen.
because I have kids, this feature isn't that useful to me. I have no way to know whether my son wants to play FIFA in between whatever I'm playing, so I can't safely suspend anything.
Looking forward to 60fps remote play though - assuming that comes to PSTV as well as Vita tomorrow?

I installed the same drive. Takes some work to remove the drive from its enclosure, but the drive is great and you can pop the 500GB in to the enclosure for a free external HDD.
Looks a little difficult, but shouldn't be too bad. Here's the video I will be following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqJm7la6JKI
Hmmm... I thought it wouldn't work for Bloodborne since you need to "log in" kind of like destiny I suppose?

Ok, this sounds pretty neat!

I hope the web browser is improved. Watching Plex on it gives me a memory error after awhile. Never had that problem watching on a Wii U.
I'm fairly certain past souls games would migrate you to an offline mode seamlessly if you lost connection.

"And more" probably doesn't include friend notifications or show as offline so I'm not as excited as most.

It's already been beta tested.
Possible there may be a nice surprise though I guess. I think last time it wasnt mentioned about the sorta "contextual notification" where when a trophy pops up for instance you can press the PS button and it'll tell you about the trophy instantly. Which I thought was a pretty awesome gesture for me really, definitely missed that from the 360 days
Sure its more snappy, it just seems odd to pick out this game though as it does everything else you get from suspend/resume. Its more appealing a feature to me for games with spaced out checkpoints whereas Souls games save progress constantly and let me quit whenever.
Online features might mean it doesn't work in Bloodborne anyway.
As long as it handles shutting down of suspended apps neatly when you're switching users, then it should be ok. Just not a big value add for me personally.
What happens if user 1 is logged in, suspends a game and goes to rest mode, then user two turns the PS4 on? Will it go to the user login page, or instantly back to user 1's dashboard? If it does that, then it'll probably get disabled on my PS4
hold the home button.

Z3 tablet or waiting for z4 tablet?
I like the auto screenshot function when getting a trophy
Funny cause I was spamming the share button when I got my platinum in Far Cry 4 yesterday haha. Would have been neat to have had this feature then.

Oh yes!! feels good to wake up to this..
I'm pretty sure I remember that being said as yes somewhere (not this thread)

So one feature that was rumoured was automatic, background trophy syncing - but it's not mentioned in the blog posts. Can anyone confirm if that's part of the update or not?

Yes! 60fps remote play!
That's good. Expected this, but needed confirmation.
Not really. Sony encrypts the whole drive anyway. There'd be no difference in security between internal and external.
I laughed way harder than I should have at this!
I don't think it was ever in. It was thuway that started that rumor on twitter, but he probably went into the trophy menu without having earned new trophies and thought the lack of sync process meant automatic syncing.

This is what I'm curious about as well.... I would imagine so. Is there any kind of indicator in-game that shows you whether you are connected online or not?

sorry but deleting 0% games beats anything else in this patch lol
They said on the 29th of march.

As an Xbox One owner, I can say this feature is awesome when it works. It's still too unpredictable, I hope MS sorts that out one day. Seemed to hold my session better with Sunset Overdrive, never did with Forza Horizon 2

Wow, that's cool. I'm guessing you lose the connection to the Bloodborne severs but that's a small price to pay for this.
Agreed with this. The feature fails far too often on Xbox One. I couldn't tell if it was the feature that was failing or just the fact that the OS is kinda shitty. More than Suspend-Resume causes the Xbox One to require a full reboot to fix.
