Customizable themes. Folders. That's all I ask.

Sony always delivers unlike the other guys. That's why I'm Playstation proud.
Long Live Play

If this were MS they would be getting ripped. Sony needs to face the music. This is unacceptable.

The mind boggles at how they forgot or deliberately did not implement the ability to pause downloads!!!

Features I want.. Mp3, DLNA, pause downloads and FOLDERS. Just give me that and I'll leave you alone until I think of something else I'd like added.

It's nice to be excited about indies coming out every week, but most those indies have been on PC/Steam for a while already, or are releasing simultaneously on PC or whatever other platform. If you're gonna go crazy over indies, atleast let it be something amazing and that I can only play on PS4. Otherwise, why have a PS4 if I'm gonna be playing indies on it that I can play on my mid/low-range PC already? I don't like that answer to the question asking where the AAA exclusives are.

Well, when my beloved ps4 gets sent back from sony (hopefully fixed) I will look forward to these. I quite like the idea of putting my console/game on sleep and taking off again without the crazy load time (watch dogs).

Lucky .04%

I really want flash support for the browser.

"We've been saying that the number of AAAs might be getting smaller because the cost of development for AAAs is getting higher," - Shuhei Yoshida

I got bombarded with disagrees when I mentioned this is why I believed the PS4 would have less AAA games than XB1 in the long run. In comparison I mentioned how Microsoft spent $1 billion dollars on games, while Sony have been aggressively supporting Indie developers onto creating PS4 and VITA games. I stated this months ago on N4G, and Sony fanboys let me have it. Some gamers have been criticizing the PS4 abundance of Indie games by labeling the console "Indiestation4". Well, trolls I should call them lol.

Anyhow, I derived at this conclusion because Sony isn't in the financial position to pay their first party studios for AAA games to be developed. Gamers want photorealistic images! and that takes time and money. Eventually once Sony gets their finances in order, then they will began backing their first party studios again to pump out AAA content. As of now, we just have to enjoy what's being developed and not what's been teased.

All I want to know is where's the DLNA support for the PS4? That's the feature I'm most interested in.

Sony didn't want to give Microsoft that 1 year head start again. Sony just advertise PS4 as a gaming machine. They just wanted to make sure the gaming features was iron out and bug free, and add in the missing features in big updates down the road.

While we are at it, what about ability to PSN names?

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
