Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
PS4 features you want Sony to fix/add?

Because the PS4 (and PS3) do not have an IR receiver they will never work with any remote. The only solution is an external IR USB receiver that works with the PS4. It is ridiculous after the PS3 that they didn't include IR in the PS4.

Fix everything. Don't add anything until it's fixed. Lol
PS3 supports both disc based PS1(and PS2 for early models) games and PSN Classics. PS Now doesn't support older titles.
Honestly, I don't think the used market is all that big a threat to PSN classics since I've personally double dipped on select PS1 games in order to play them across devices. For titles I don't already own, I can't see myself buying a used copy over the digital version.
I just think Sony should do it because it reinforces the continuity of the PS brand, and it'll generate massive amounts of goodwill. Capitalizing on that just seems like the kind of move Sony is inclined to make these days.

Yep. That's my one hesitation with Persona 5. I loved P4G, but never would have got through it without suspend/resume. Saves are too far apart at times. Same for stuff like MGS with super long cut scenes that I may need to quit playing before they finish.
Other than that, just folders to make the library more usable, and an "appear offline" status option.

- friend notifications
- party invite + game notification all in one like on xbox 360. current process is annoying where you have to send your friends two different requests.
- DLNA for video and audio streaming from a media server
- More DMB customization options (pinning, hiding stuff, etc.)

Most of the newer Harmony remotes come with a bluetooth hub that is able to communicate the commands. This worked perfectly with my PS3. I'm sure this can be supported in the same way for PS4.
PS4 already supports bluetooth connectivity with certain keyboards and mice. Their support manual seems to indicate that the console also technically has the ability to provide broader support for bluetooth devices (printer? wtf haha):

Makes no sense. At the very least if they are trying to lock the system down...they should release a separate remote especially with Playstation Vue/ iptv coming into play. It would sure help prolong my DS4 battery life...

Easiest answer I can think of is a large part of the gaming community praised Sony for taking the games route instead of the media route this time around. So things like DLNA and local media playback took a backseat to the games.
PS4 is a product of its audience's desires.

I've become addicted to taking screenshots while playing.
I would love for some awesome hub where I can see other users uploads and rate.

DLNA support and how about instant messaging. I have timed how long it takes for a friend to receive a message and it takes several minutes. How is that even possible?

Folders, better notification system, instant resume, 4K output support at least in UI.

I would like the PSN network to know that I have PS+ when I go to the store. I don't need PS+ ads to be the first thing I see when going to the store when it's something I already have. Just show me the content.
I have an Xbox One now so I don't care about DLNA anymore, but I'd still love to see:
-PS1/PS2 support, I mean seriously what's the deal here? At the very least we should have been able to play the Classics available on PSN by now. Disc support is apparently an unreasonable pipe dream these days, but I want that too. It's depressing to see Sony (and Microsoft too) turn their backs on backward compatibility, I don't want rely on older hardware forever, and I have zero faith in their long term reliability.
-Suspend/Resume. Sony wants me to forget apparently, but I'm not going to shut up about it.
-Better UI and organization of games. The library is kind of messy, has a lot of stuff I don't want to see, can't figure out how to organize it if I even can.
-Local MP3 support.. They were so close too and just half-assed it.

PS3 supported the discs before the Now and Classics came along.
Now that PS Now and PSN are here, there's no way they are going to spend time and money on something that directly takes away money (less people buying PSN games)

External HDD support.

I have one minor one and its one the main reasons I stayed digital with my PS4. When you have a disc and you push down to the game's information, trophies, add-ons it still asks you to purchase the game. I wish they'd change it to "Visit Store Page" or some shit.
First one I can think of is fix the bug which makes you have to switch user in order to access the PS store, make custom themes available to public ala ps3 through browser,
I'd also like to be able to download videos through browser like ps3 and obviously by extension local video playback

Sony, take note:
-Sleep/resume
-PS1, PS2, PSP, Vita TV games local emulation in PS4
-Not sure if still happen or if it was only from a few early consoles, but to fix the eject issue and the destructible nubs.
-MP3 support
-Let me stream the video+audio of my PC desktop, and or the audio+video of my Vita (LAN is ok, I don't need to do it through Internet).

More cloud storage, DLNA, and an RGB option for Blu Ray playback would be nice.
Logitech already has a bluetooth hub for their Harmony remotes that works with the PS3. My Harmony works with my PS3. Logically the question is why not do the exact same thing for the PS4? We haven't gotten a clear answer for that, from Logitech or Sony.

Are you one of those people that thinks you can copy and paste code from PS3 to PS4? Rome wasn't built in a day, neither was the PS3 OS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d6yBHDvKUw

Fix the broken PSN.
So tired of "maintenance" during peak hours, and getting logged off or can't sign in or even play offline games.
Paying for this service is a joke.

I accidentally said the Harmony One when I have the Harmony Ultimate. As far as I can tell HDMI-CEC doesn't work between the hub and PS4. I had a Harmony 880 before this that worked fine as far as CEC but it doesn't seem to work with that specific remote.

-custom backgrounds
-media playback
-of the media playback, ability to play music in the background while playing games
-see when your friends were last on
-select a theme but still be able to use your own custom background. Ps3 had this feature
-perhaps be able to select a specific theme but use theme music from a different one.
-perhaps a recycle bin for the shit you've deleted. but I'm guessing this sorta thing would require more RAM use.

Full list:
* Suspend/Resume. (Sometime in my lifetime please Sony. Jesus fucking Christ).
* Show as Offline.
* Folders for games and apps and friends.
* Notifications when select friends go online.
* Notifications that simply show the message rather than requiring a user to dig through menus.
* Ability to remove/opt out of Sony Ads/services on the dash like Whats New, Sony Music, etc.
* Disable/Opt-out of "Friends you may know". I never asked for this.
* Increased cloud storage.
* Significantly improved battery life for the DualShocks.
* Much, much more PSN stability.

Have Sony commented on Suspend/Resume?
I think it's unfair to tout this as a feature 9 months before launch and then it just not appearing.

Fix basic crap a college student could figure out like PSN name changes. Also your video thumbnails are stupid. I have a 55 inch television. If I'm watching a game trailer it shouldn't be 1/8 the size of my screen with no option to go fullscreen.
