10 Crucial PS4 Features Sony Must Implement In 2015
3. Run Video Content From USB
Although you're free to transfer saves and photos you've taken in-game to USB, you can't do the same in reverse when it comes to movies, although Sony finally added music playback in the last major update. Again this ties into the DLNA point as it seems Sony would prefer you use their first-party services, but the problem remains that their Unlimited app isn't anywhere near streamlined or recognised as preferable over pretty much any alternative. New app Plex is achingly close to what needs to be implemented in an official capacity, but even that is relegated to streaming TV shows and movies, as oppose to letting you pull your picture library into the console's dash, or doing something more game-specific like for example, assigning a songs to a wrestler's entrances in WWE 2K15. Little Big Planet 3 is something that looks to be perfect for media synchronisation too, and would surely take off in a much bigger way if Sony could shake hands with other devices like they did in the past. Right now, for all the talk of the newer systems being hubs for 'all your entertainment', this is one hell of a roadblock on an otherwise easily-attained goal.
