PS4 sleep mode, friend takeover features still coming
"Our team has been working on it," Yoshida said. "There are some things that we announced in February of last year that were not planned for the launch timeframe."
Yoshida didn't provide a timeline for the new features, but said he's asking his tech team "every other week" when they'll be ready.
During its PS4 reveal show in February 2013, Sony Lead System Architect Mark Cerny described sleep mode as a suspend/resume process that allows you to power down and boot up the PS4 from the same spot at the press of a button. In October, we learned that feature wouldn't be ready on day one.

-LOST- That is a pretty cool idea but I wouldn't want someone getting a trophy for me. Part of the challenge in a trophy is getting it yourself.
Some people may not use it for they reason. I'll mainly be using it to help my friend in DCUO, with finding things in his options, and similar things to that.

Watch_Dogs360MoTioN I like it that Microsoft and Sony are implementing new features into their consoles.
I like how Sony are coping Microsoft, "Sleep Mode" it seems to be a different name for "Instant-On" from the Xbox One..
I like how Microsoft Copied Sony with the 2 free games each month, and yet still haven't come through on the Xbox one.

FibreOp Funny, I tweeted PlayStation about this a few days ago. Happy they responded back this quick. This feature will be awesome to have as I have some friends that aren't good at some games and could guide them through some missions and show a pro at work lol
It's like Team Viewer but for consoles lol
I really do think that this could be a cool thing to mess around with, but it would need some proper security measures and what not.

I could see the sleep mode being very annoying but hopefully you will be able to turn it off.

MissMaggardoJoveticMiss Don't really understand what they mean by "take over" your game. Can anyone explain?
I think this is what they planned to do with the share button. The thing where you send an invite or similar to your friend and they can control your game. It would be the same as passing the controller off to someone I believe.
That's pretty cool. I would've never thought they would bring out a feature like that!
Now to me, that sounds pretty stupid. I don't see why that would be needed at all. I hope that's not what it is.
Say your having trouble during a mission. You can share it with a friend and they can do it for you, show you how, etc. I think its a good idea. Or maybe if you just need to go and take a **** and you wanna keep your KD up, your buddy can play for you until you return. :D i like the idea of being able to use the sleep mode, id use that.
