    Honestly though, If you present your opinion in a matter that promotes discussion then no one here will jump down your throat. Unfortunately I had to learn that the hard way and I know better now

      You guys continue to hash it out by guessing.

        Honestly I disagree with everything you just said Knight, and you know that I usually agree with you 100%. Basically the way I see it is that the current code is written in a way so that it takes full advantage of the PS3 and its "uniqueness". All of the tricks and shortcuts devs had to use will not longer be necessary. It would be one thing if the PS4 was just a PS3 with better specs but its not, its a completely different architecture that's main selling point is its ease of use. What might've taken years to build up on the PS3 could take months on PS4, there are articles out there mentioning devs getting builds up and running in a few weeks(!). And to me that is one of the more standout features of the hardware, less time spent fiddling around with the graphics engine means more time spent on the meat and potatoes, aka A.I. and physics.

        Also, you might say otherwise but there is absolutely no way the dev team has only spent one cycle on the PS4 version. According to Cerny the hardware was finalized two years ago, and I'd find it hard to believe the devs wouldn't have at least started tinkering around with some new ideas at that point.

        Maybe complete overhaul was the wrong choice of words, but anything less than major would be a little disappointing to me... The start of a new generation is the perfect time to make a big splash, otherwise if not now, when?



        This right here is what I was trying to get at, and one of my main points of contention is that piling on more code might be an acceptable short term fix, but in the long run it turns into a cluttered mess. How many times have we heard "Its not as simple as adding/removing X, it will break the game." How many times has Russell mentioned "we just ripped out X and started from scratch." SCEA SD has very talented programmers, why wouldn't they rip out giant blocks of complex code and streamline them to take advantage of the new hardware? Seems like a no-brainer to me. Of course keep the stuff that works, just redo the stuff that's covered in band-aids (Franchise mode, cough cough).

        Sean....

        They haven't had the dev kits for much longer than 1 cycle.....
        Also...don't forget, the devs are writing for the4...PS3 and Vita all at once.
        So saying that it takes less time to write for PS4 isn't really the whole picture.
        I believe that we will absolutely see The Show utilizing the PS4 arch to it's full limit....but I don't know if that means that everything has to be ripped out and redone. Maybe it does? I don't program, so I don't know that for sure.

          Finally found a PS4 at a Game Stop in the mall tonight. MLB 14 is also pre-ordered. Looking forward to many fun hours on the new system with MLB 14. Not planning on getting any other games for it until then so it'll just have to sit pretty in the box.

            Same here, only I also picked up Madden & NBA2k to give it a test run but it wasn't long till I was back on the ps3 & show 13.
            When show 14 drops for ps4, then I'll probably burn a hole in the floor running the ps4

              I may see if RedBox has any PS4 games to rent or something. Maybe check out Need for Speed Rivals. If not, then I'm fine waiting for MLB 14. I still play the hell out of my PS3.

                You don't even have to buy anything you can download some free ps+ games: Resogun,Don't Starve, Zen pinball. Just to try out the system so to speak.

                    I agree. And there's not much for me to argue against.

                      Fair enough, you're right about them having to juggle three different platforms so time constraints are an issue. I never played the PS2 or PSP versions so I don't know - do you remember when SCEA stopped trying for feature parity across systems? I remember '09 being a major leap in the series, maybe it was then?

                        I'm not certain...but it probably wasn't too far after just Year 1.

                          The first thing you need to know, NBA 2K14 is not a port. It has been built from the ground up for the new hardware with a new engine called "Eco Motion."

                            If you owned a copy of 14 the show for PS4 and you owned a vita why would you buy a copy of the show for the vita? You can just play your PS4 copy over a wifi connection
