I'm no expert, but how would suspend and resume, or anything for that matter, work with the system turned off. I would imagine that there has to be some kind of power/functionality for it to work.

PCs hibernate by writing RAM to the drive and then turning off. The extra time that'd probably take when waking back up on the PS4 would negate the usefulness in this case though.

Ahh, got it. Didn't know that when PCs hibernate they don't consume any electricity.

 

[c0de]

Ehm, they do. Just less than STR (Suspend to RAM, S3).

 

[benny_a]

The only reason I can see why a turned off PC with hibernation would use electricity is if it had Wake-On-LAN enabled.

 

[InsaneTiger]

It was for me.

 

[c0de]

Oh, there are indeed a lot of reasons. Shitty power supply, remote control boards (not necessarily wol, Intel's vPro for example or things that actually implements lights-out-management), lights on your board indicating $something, enabled power for a dedicated USB-port and so on. The EuP guideline is also available on my mainboard which, when enabled, is indeed below 1W usage while it is ~3W when not enabled (but of course no details are given to what it actually additionally shuts off).
If you really want to want to not use any power, turn off the power supply.

 

[Ricky_R]

So which is it? Can electronics do anything while COMPLETELY turned off or not?

Not trying to start anything, btw. I'm genuinely curious.

 

[c0de]

Electronics can't do anything while shut off completely (at least what we are talking about here).
Thing is even if you unplug your computer and it did STD (Suspend to Disk, S4) you can restart your computer (after plugging in the power cord to the power supply) as if it was "only" in S5 (Soft-off-mode. System is down but there is still the cord in the power supply).

Alright, thanks.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Me too.

. But I also unchecked and rechecked it just in case.

 

[The Elite]

It was on for me.

 

[cooperma]

it was for me too...maybe it depends on your old resume settings you had ?

 

[Deft Beck]

Mine was on by default.

 

[red731]

Got it...

US - ON
EU - OFF (because some laws)

Off for me in the EU. Not seeing a pattern here.

Haha, yeah.

 

[Saint of Killers]

Was off by default for me. Turned it on and it works like a charm. No problems fully powering console down and back up either.

edit: EU here too.

 

[Kowalski]

Whew, resume mode, it's about time. Hated losing my place in a game.

 

[BigTnaples]

Super pumped to try this out when I get home.


Keep the greatness coming Sony.

 

[DTU]

Was also on by default for me. Perhaps it depends on your pre-upgrade settings?

 

[TheCanisDirus]

So how exactly is this handled in a game like BloodBorne when playing in online mode? It can't possibly work... Can it?

 

[BahamutPT]

I had all Rest Mode settings On, and it was defaulted as Off for me. (EU here)

I did get a "Discover" notification directing me to enable it though.

 

[jediyoshi]

No. The game would act like it would if you were to just disconnect your internet.

 

[TP-DK]

If I turn it on, will I still have the option to shut my ps4 down?

 

[HardRojo]

It was for me. US account on US PS4 (on Peruvian grounds).

Yes, you can turn your PS4 off completely even if you enable Suspend and Resume.

 

[PreFire]

It actually was for me.

Same here. Weird some people have to enable it

 

[c0de]

Same here. Weird some people have to enable it

Again, this is probably due to an EU power guideline for electronic devices.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Wasn't turned on by default for me.
Europe here.

 

[BokehKing]

Odd, it was set to suspend/resume for me automatically after the install, my friends was not though

Perfect. I wont have any reason to leave it in suspend if I know I wont be using it for the next 12 hours or more.

 

[batman2million]

Go into Power-save settings and enable Suspend under Rest Mode.

Otherwise you'll turn your game off and lose progress if you try and Suspend/Resume.

It'll be hilarious to see people raging about this.

 

[MercuryLS]

Is it true that Bloodborne only suspends properly when you play offline? I read that it kicks you back to the title screen when you resume again if you're online.

 

[Certinty]

Thanks for this, wasn't enabled for me weirdly.

 

[Wreav]

Any online game (every EA game) will behave that way.

 

[benny_a]

It does seem to do that for some people.

It doesn't do that for me nor has it done that for some other people. Bit strange at the moment.

 

[bananafactory]

It does work flawlessly I just tried it

Resumed and it had not kicked me to the menu I'm still in the game

Interesting, will try today, hopefully it doesn't disconnect for me.

Maybe there's a time limit on how long?

 

[Skynet87]

Was for me

 

[Stereogatari]

It's normal for the PS4 to be making noise while in this state right? It's the same kind of quiet noise as when downloading in Sleep mode? Hope it's not just me lol.

Do you mean when you put it in to rest mode or when it's been in rest mode for a while?

The fans have always run for a bit to cool the system down when entering rest mode, then they switch off when the temperature is low enough.

Yes while in Rest Mode. It's not stopping though, it's been a few hours, I guess because it still has the game open it won't truly rest?
