sat down and made a complete list of what I think each console is missing, surprised myself with how much I came up with, nothing too unrealistic I don't think, systems definitely capable of them.
One:
Default kinnect mic off when playing online. So painful that every player has the mic on and most are not using it, they cough etc and it bellows through my headset. I think most people do not even know it is on, make 'off' the default. Takes forever to mute every player.
Let me stream music and video off USB
Kinnect seems to get confused in games, a few times I have made a command in game and the One has heard it as 'record that clip' etc. Not sure on the fix but the kennect works alot better outside of gaming.
HDD managment. Will only effect a few but I want to be able to see what my HDD space is consiting of.
Allow voice messages!
Add a battery meter for the controller
Yes it will severely reduce the frame rate, but at least give me the option to run my system in 1080p.
Allow auto shut down if you dont use the system in x amount of minutes.
Allow me to get achievments when offline, I don't always want to be signed into live, but cannot got achievments if I am not?
I would like to bin the whole snap thing, but at least allow me to make it invisible, so if I want to be playing some music while I play FIFA I can without seeing the snap window on my game screen.
The whole kinnect system is a bit flawed in regards to voice commands IMO. Make it a bit simpler, for example I should not have the say 'xbox play forza motorsport 5', saying 'xbox play forza' should enough, it was on the 360. Same as the codes, 'xbox redeem a code' could easily be 'xbox use code'. Again maybe just me but almost every command could be better.
Get rid of the damed propietory headset jack, your headset is shit but I am forced to use it!
PS4:
I want to turn the light off my DS4, it is for PSeye, I do not intend to have one so I should be able to turn it off, it is using my battery for no reason.
Let me stream music and video off USB
Allow me to choose who I get notified about being online. I have about 300 people on my friends list, I do not care when some are online, I only want to know when my mates are on, let me do that!.
GET A YOUTUBE APP!
I would like to be able to customise my home page, I do not care about playroom or whatever the fuck it is, I do not want to see it.
If I want to upload a video clip to facebook, I hit share. The PS4 shits on the One in the social aspect but you will not tell me how long the video is or let me edit it. I do not want to upload 5 minutes gameplay for the awesome 8 seconds I want to show!
Allow corss bluetooth support, my PS3 headset will not recognise!
I want to be able to appear offline, I do not always want to play with mates but hate saying no, let me hide!
I want to pause and prioritise my downloads, last night there was an update for Fifa and AC, I wanted to play FIFA but had to wait 40 minutes as they were sharing bandwith, let me download the FIFA update then the AC one.
Again on the MP3's stop forcing me to use your system, I own thousands of songs, let me play them when I play a game!
Think that is it :P
