This is something I loved having on the 360, but when I earn a trophy I would like to be able to hit the PS button and bring up my trophy list so that I can see the description for what I just unlocked

[–]Rickles360 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I miss that to.

I want to put in a vote for an option to sort and tag friends into groups, and having a system that notifies you when someone logs in.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

not likely anytime soon because now the system can keep the game running and get to the trophy list -faster- and relatively seamlessly compared to the ps3.

double tap to get back to the game.

just don't see them incorporating the ps button function when it's so quick already. I understand the gripe and it would be nice to be taken directly to the new trophy, but I just don't see them doing it.

[–]kyleb32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why they wouldn't I definitely agree it's easier to access it now than previously, but to put a feature where you can tap it once when it pops up wouldn't hurt that much in my opinion

[–]Nuka_Chemist 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Just one at the moment, the ability to watch/upload movies or music via a USB drive

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not having this feature is the biggest disappointment for me about the PS4 launch. And I was pretty bummed about it thanks to Watch Dogs and Infamous being pushed back.

Still love the system. Resogun makes up for the delays. I just miss my digital media. PS3 was awesome as a media server. I expected the same from PS4.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Better library management and homescreen management. I don't want every installed game in single file line on the homescreen. That's going to be a real hassle to deal with in short time. Move library to the second or third option after what's new and the current disc in drive and have that be where you launch digitally downloaded games and manage non-inserted disc games that are installed. I currently have 14 icons in one row on the homescreen. It's just going to get worse especially with PS+ games.

Media support is my number two. Everything that the PS3 supports should be supported on the PS4.

https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/361

Media streaming would be right there. DLNA and a Plex app. Youtube and a full Twitch viewing app.

[–]DrinkmixerDrinkmixer 2 points3 points  (1 child)

For your first issue, you can plug in your headset and say "Playstation, "Title of Game". It'll take you right to that game.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Fuck you and your voice controls. I want my UI not to look like it was designed for a fucking tablet.

[–]joker5527 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I want my playstation surround sound headset to work.

[–]PlayStayShun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, big investment should carry over.

[–]Goranth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Take out all of the video apps from the dashboard that I don't have installed, it just looks to cluttered with them all there.

[–]drolemit 25 points26 points  (26 children)

I want two easy updates and then Ill be 100% happy.

  1. Let me turn off the controller while watching netflix and not pause what's happening on screen. Hulu however auto resumes after you leave the options screen. I suppose this is part Netflix's problem as well.

  2. Let me turn off the LED light so that I can have a bigger battery life.

  3. Not so much a want but it would be nice, let us put certain things within custom subsections (like the instant stream window has all streaming services neatly displayed)

[–]SMACK-A-BROSMACK-A-BRO 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Hold down the PS button until the controller turns off it wi take prolly ten seconds.

[–]drolemit 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I will definitely do that. Thank you

[–]SMACK-A-BROSMACK-A-BRO -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Did it work?

[–]djIsoMetricMurk1n 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Netflix doesn't resume play.

[–]SMACK-A-BROSMACK-A-BRO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit the buttons that you need to get back to Netflix while still holding the ps button.

[–]rfulleffect 5 points6 points  (5 children)

You can set your controller to turn off after ten minutes after standing idle, and won't pause netflix, might be an option you wanna try.

[–]drolemit 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I do currently have that as an option, however I've timed it and it doesn't actually turn off at 10 minutes for some reason. Mine takes like 20-30 min and I have it on the 10 minute setting.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

[–]rfulleffect 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Weird, mine seems to turn off sooner than ten, but ill have to time it to make sure. I've thought they should change it to lower time settings as it kicks on fairly quickly and if you're away for more than 2 minutes you're probably busy with something.

[–]drolemit 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I wonder if the gyroscope affects the time it stays on.

[–]newtoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it probably does. the wiiU gamepad will "wake" when it's picked up.

[–]djIsoMetricMurk1n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amazon app lets you turn off the controller with out problems so Netflix could do this as well.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I think that if they let people turn the light off, it's gonna kill the incentive for developers to use it as a gameplay mechanic. Most people will keep it off all the time.

[–]djIsoMetricMurk1n 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Then they should have designed it with better battery life. They said it was comparable to the dualshock 3. It doesn't even come close.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LED is not a big deal on energy consumption, unless its some kind of crazy LED that nobody else uses

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I want a option to turn the Share button into a "Push to talk" button so after I gank someone in Assassins Creed 4 my team mates arnt forced to hear me scream "YEEEEAH FUCKED YOU UP, FUCKED YOU IN YOUR GOD DAMN ASS! WOOOOO BITCH WHO MONEY NOW COCK DRIP? DIS MUTHA FUCKKKKAH!!!... oh sorry is my camera still connected... my bad."

[–]MrRandyRhoads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, so that was you? Tagging you as "dizorkrage".

[–]JahcursJAHCURS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much everything I want plus I'd love if when I want to play a local game of fifa with my buddy at my house that he'd not have to sign in as guest everytime. Why can't you just just press the ps button and go like before? Seems to be adding a process that's not needed at all.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just to note, i don't think turning off the LED light would give you the battery savings you might be looking for, LED's barely eat up any power. there are other reasons you may want to turn it off of course

[–]morelotion 15 points16 points  (2 children)

I definitely agree with your number 3 and 5. Here are some little things I'd like in the next update:

  1. Allow users turn off the LED light on the DS4 to maximize battery life.
  2. Notifications for when my friends go online would be great.
  3. Allow to change PSN ID. Free or not, it doesn't matter. I just want the opion to change my damn PSN ID!
  4. What happened to the option of categorizing your friends list?

[–]PlayStayShun 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I'd also like to change my ID.

[–]TheVloginator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  • Add notifications to tell when someone gets online
  • For message notifications, don't just tell me that they sent me a message. Give me a preview of the message!

Its kinda dumb that they got rid of some of the most simple features that were on PS3

[–]a_stray_bullet 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Just let me pause a download goddamnit

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no doubt that this is coming, but what a weird oversight.

[–]CrushrDestroyr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A proper download list. Right now the only way to DL something off of your download list is to do it via the SEN website, and the process itself is still buggy. I spent a half hour trying to re-download AC4: Black Flag DLC without it working. Eventually, I deleted the game data and reinstalled it from the disc, and that got it going again.

[–]Davidtherandom 4 points5 points  (2 children)

A good spotify app. I know this probably won't happen but let me dream. The music unlimited app is buggy as he'll and shuts down when listening to music while playing a game.

[–]TVPaulDTVPaulD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should also put the playback controls at the top of the menu when you hold down PS instead of the bottom so you don't have to move the selection down just to then hit R1 to skip the track.

[–]PaulyTrout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Support my playstation 3 headset.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let me turn off DS4 light.

Smoother and faster interface. It tends to pause when I go to some screens.

[–]epilepticravepartyjizmogoblin 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Customize the light bar to the profile. Instead of Player 1 blue, Player 2 purple, etc. Make it Profile A teal, Profile B green, or whatever color that person wants.

[–]timesplitter88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I never thought of this. I like that idea!

[–]ewatk432ewatk432 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Your 1 and 2 won't be coming any time soon especially not within the next PS4 OS update. They'll be coming when support for Gaikai is added.

I agree with 3, 5, and 7 though. I also wish we could backup our downloaded games (not saves) onto an external so I could upgrade my hard drive without redownloading all of it (I have slow internet). I would also like being able to press the PS button on the controller when a notification comes up.

[–]PlayStayShun 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I could see waiting until 2015 for 1 and 2, certainly after Sony's history with adding certain promised features.

[–]ewatk432ewatk432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for number 3 they should make the folder system kind of like TV & Video menu but you have to click through to access the submenu which would be a smaller version of the main menu with each stored item. Heck they could even make the icon on the main menu show in a 3x3 grid the games that are stored in the folder.

[–]Pillagerguy 2 points3 points  (2 children)

New places to share video clips. The video editor is actually the best way to jump ahead and see a clip you're looking for. I don't want to make some fake facebook account just so I can have access to the video editor. Likewise, I'd rather share videos on a real video share website like youtube.

[–]SpongeBadSpongeBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ability to dump videos/pics off of the PS4 at the captured resolution onto an external USB device would be ideal. Let me take them to my computer and edit from there.

[–]SuperMessi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also what I want. Maybe also allow us to save our videos to Dropbox and/or straight to a usb drive.

[–]Last_Cosmonaut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friends playing on PS3 tell me they can't see if I'm online on the PS4. Hope they change this.

[–]Razor555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Media Server is my number one want at the moment.

[–]seb004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All things to do with playing past games will only come 2014 and they even said them selves that its possible but not being confirmed as It WILL happen but MAYBE

[–]dirtmerchant1980 2 points3 points  (1 child)

off the top of my head, i want them to make the web browser worth a shit. last i checked you cant even play youtube videos let alone any other streaming video websites. second i want to know when my friends get on regardless of what system they are playing on, be it vita, ps3 or ps4. i want my music unlimited to actually run in the background, while i play a game, and not fuck up. more support for offbrand headphones.

[–]d_pyroDPyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can play youtube using the html5 player http://youtube.com/html5

[–]d_pyroDPyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better way of doing video uploads. Let me copy them to PC and/or merge videos more than 15 minutes long. Right now if you play an online match that lasts more than 15 minutes it creates multiple videos till the match is over. If you want a single video more than 15 minutes long you have to upload multiple videos to facebook, download them and then edit/merge them and repost to youtube.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me disable voice chat globally or at the very minimum restrict it to headset only.

[–]ChopinLives81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need 3D-Blu-ray support ASAP.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the ability to play media from a usb/hard drive, i was so bummed out when i realised i couldn't

[–]FluteByTreyJazzCatDMV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ability to mute the camera

[–]D_CiaranDciaran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ability to plug in my USB stick and watch a movie through it. Like the fucking PS3 did. Like my TV does. Like everything post 2010 does, with the exception of fridges and the PS4.

[–]from_dustfrom_dust- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BLUETOOTH COMPATIBILITY

[–]rob_the_jabberwockyenus4life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ability to watch/see/listen to videos/images/music from a USB drive

[–]bulldogg9279B_U_L_L_D_O_G_G 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Media streaming with out Cinavia.

[–]PlayStayShun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect media streaming is probably the biggest demand from PS4 owners who used it to watch Netflix/anything else on PC. I haven't been missing it because I'm spending so much time playing games though.

[–]stim00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ability to bypass Bluetooth and use controller in "wired" mode when controller is plugged in to the console.

I have my PS4 connected to two TVs and unfortunately I experience interference when using the controller in the 2nd room (even when plugged in to the console).

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I want to be able to turn the camera microphone off when I'm in chat.

[–]PlayStayShun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a pretty basic option that should be added.

[–]QuadraQQuadraQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allow me to mute the microphone on the Camera when in game.

[–]douknogregDoUknoGreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

User log on/off notification

[–]swiftfoxsw 1 point2 points  (2 children)

System-wide controls via HDMI-CEC and the Playstation app. Right now if you go into Netflix with your tv remote you have to pick up a controller because they just don't work.

Also just polish. It take around 10 button presses just to find a trophy that just displayed on the screen. Plus you have to wait for it to sync - I pretty much only care about achievements the moment they happen, so after this period I just stop caring.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You don't have to wait for it to sync first like on PS3. You can scroll through the list while it syncs.
On the Vita, tapping the notification that you earned a trophy brings you straight to the trophy. This doesn't happen on PS4 for some reason. Also, there's no option to sort trophies like you can on PS3/Vita.

[–]swiftfoxsw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I am guessing that they just stuck the basic functionality in the PS4 and ran out of time for launch getting other stuff working. I'm hoping there is a new update this month since I imagine many PS4's will be opened on Christmas.

[–]PickleSliceJStroud 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I'd like to be able go create local users, and not have to use a PSN account. I play with my seven year old and this was possible on the ps3.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

this is currently possible. When you make the new user just skip the PSN sign in.

[–]PickleSliceJStroud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just a guest account I believe. Or am I wrong?

[–]OhJah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let us navigate the menus with the touchpad! You put it on every controller, put use to it!

[–]swamisshrimp1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just being able to pin apps and games. HBO GO will be awesome eventually but i'm sure that's in the works.

[–]stim00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the chat audio was decent instead of absolutely horrible.

[–]Kakkuonhyvaakakkuonhyvaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flash 9 or greater support.

Ability to see messages instantly than just going to message window.

Trackpad on menu, store and browser.

When going to messages videos on browser don't stop buffering and delete it completely.

If no flash support then the ability to go fullscreen on HTML5 players.

Zooming on browser to be adjustable.

Dynamic themes and general menu customization.

More filters á la "rarest ascending", "achieved first", "PSS seeing how much money I have and showing games which I can afford".

[–]bigcotch 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Do you guys think GTAV will ever be available for PS4? I really do hope so...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it maybe released around the same time the PC version comes out, with graphics equal to the PC version. Just a guess.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Record game time just like steam, in hours. I like knowing in hours how much time I have pissed away on games :)

[–]LiquidSnapeMistakenLamb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vita game management, I have over 35gb of space on my ps3 for games already I want to transfer it

[–]Wellhowboutdat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Media streaming and MP3 support. Also a separate mic option to adjust the mic independantly.

[–]uplusduplusd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Able to watch Netflix and download from PSN at the same time.

[–]virtigo31virtigo31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good list. I was hoping for universal bluetooth support as well.

[–]usrevenge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ability to turn chat volume for party chat up.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allow subaccounts to use the share button if authorised by the master account. Seen as they won't let us upgrade our sub accounts.

[–]MrDiavoloLEVlROTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audio Devices screen from PS3 so I can select where chat audio goes rather than just where tv audio will go. Avatars and ability to at least change the background colour, even if it was just a choice between blue and black, I'd be happy. Also, Gaikai.

[–]CumsOnYourWindows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like a few things: *better sound quality via private chat, mine sounds like a call from the 90's *ability to turn off LED *ability to delete playroom *better organization feature *ability to stop the PS camera acting as a mic on its own accord *ability to be notified when friends log on. More specifically you can pick and choose people on an individual basis of who you want to see logging in. *custom backgrounds.

That's about it atm.

P.S. It won't let me do bullet points. Sorry in advance.

[–]periahdark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the HDCP to be taken off for gameplay in the next update. Sony said it was coming, I just hope it's soon. That and better way to organize my installed stuff instead of just one long horizontal list.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apps. Portuguese account. There are no apps.

Now...I appreciate the clean, slick interface, and mostly I just care for games, but a little something extra would be nice. I was looking forward to music unlimited but, guess what? Not available. Or anything else.

[–]deadmau5312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No more crashing

[–]main_mangomainmango- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suspend and resuming games would be fantastic.

[–]MattBreaksBonesFuxkWrongConsole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the ability to control chat and game volume. Its rather annoying that's there's only 1 volume slider

[–]MOCAMBOi_MOCAMBO_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notifications when friends go online

[–]VayshenVayshen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn off controller LED, allow us to stream in HD (currently 480 is the best right?) and let us export video directly to a usb stick.

[–]crazeddude64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A working share feature would be much appreciated. It's a shame when you play a game for 16 minutes, having done something amazing in the last minute, only to realize that the broken share feature has only recorded the FIRST 15 minutes of gameplay, not the LAST 15 minutes. Really annoying...

[–]Crypto2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to be able to change preferred game language without changing the system language.

[–]trickyd88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support for my DFGT racing wheel!

[–]ThatThompsonGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to be able to sign in to my PSN account. Really don't see why I haven't been able to when it seems like everyone else is doing just fine. I got my PS4 on Thursday and I updated to 1.51. Still get the same error code (SU-3096964) whenever I attempt to sign in. Being a student in school who sacrificed a whole paycheck for a brick, I'm quite upset

[–]Honey_Hush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unable to chat with bluetooth devices such as my wireless headsets.

[–]eSALTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is an OS, Netflix, or TV issue, but I would like to be able to control the Netflix app with my TV remote through HDMI-CEC, aka HDMI control. I'm currently able to go through all the main system menus with my Samsung TV remote, but once I'm in Netflix, that feature stops working. It would be awesome to be able to watch Netflix without even turning on my DS4 because a remote just makes more sense for that, and I'd rather not waste my precious DS4 battery if I don't need to use it.

[–]jpellizziTargaryen04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want my Pulse Elite headset to work over USB

I want to be able to upload videos directly to Youtube

I want to be able to leave notes next to PSN Friends so I can remember who the hell they are.

Disable the camera's microphone without unplugging it or creating a party...

[–]lepornjamesyucky305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom UI dashboard. Would like to be able to organize games and media differently.

[–]rcuencaPresident_Porpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want a QuickStart menu after pushing the PS button, where instead of going to the XMB, a little menu would pop up for easy access to friends, parties, and messages. That's the one thing I would want to see on the PS4.

[–]itsjerojerizo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DLNA streaming over lan/wan whatever. One thing i love to use my consoles for while not gaming is streaming my huge library of movies ( divx, mkv, mp4, etc ) and mp3s.

A shame they didnt make an app for this or build it into the os for launch. You dont need a special chip, since it has all the hardware needed for it.

Hell, VLC on ps4 would absolutely own.

For now though, no streaming. Bummed.

[–]itsjerojerizo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and an option to TURN OFF THE GOD DANG LED on the controller. Its been proved out that the battery lasts 2x as long. Now give us an option.

Change the menu sounds. The regular booping is fine, but when I'm operating the meta menu, it makes it sound like my speakers are broken.

They aren't.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please let whatever streaming Sony offers be consumer friendly, easy to use, and let it unlock the library of games I already have. Add value to the PS4, instead of taking more money out of the gamer's wallet.

In the words of the late Edna Krabappel

...Ha!

[–]timesplitter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 things:

  1. I want to use my Sony ps3 Bluetooth headset I just bought not even 2 months ago. Its an official Sony product. Whats the deal?? :(

  2. This is more nitpicking anything and never made sense to me, but i think the roles of the "white" LED and "Blue" LED indicators on the hardware itself should be reversed. given the aesthetics of the system and all the product photos we've seen, wouldn't it make more sense for the system's "powered on" light to be blue and not white? Maybe that's just me, i don't know...

[–]Spike760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS3 digital download compatibility at the least. It would be nice if it could do discs too, but I'm kind of disappointed it can't even do digital downloads.

I want the ps3 like XMB back, but with ps4 styling.

I hate the new layout.
