PlayStation 4 Discussion - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

As seen with the PS2 Star Wars titles, more PS2 emulated games are coming to PS4.

Those of you that upgraded to the Seagate hybrid drive, is it still working well for you? I think I'm finally about to pull the trigger on one.

I haven't touched my PS4 after Madden, 2K, etc dropped, but I cant let it go. I think I have over 20 games on it that I haven't finished.

Apart from The Witcher 3 I've played my PS3 a lot more this year. I finally went through Yakuza, the Metal Gear Solid Legacy set, replayed the Batman games, and random stints with LA Noire, Legos, and Brutal Legend. Not to mention all the PSN games I downloaded.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Why would you play a PS3 when you have a PS4 which is superior in every way to a PS3? I know folks do but I just don't get it. I'm not going backwards in graphics and sound voluntarily. No way!

The only reason I can think is to maybe play old games that aren't on next gen?

And I'm not going backward in quality of games just for upgraded graphics and debatable sound quality voluntarily. No way!

He wants to? Nothing wrong with gaming on whatever console/handheld makes you happy. I've been on a 360, PS2 and GBA kick lately. Still play my PS4, but I still enjoy revisiting the older systems.

Because Xbox 360 and PS3 both have a far superior game library, XBLA is far superior to PSN but PS3 has free online multi-player. Plus, while Xbox One has backwards compatibility, playing games via emulation compared to the actual disc or digital download isn't the same thing.

I had around 20 or so games in my Xbox 360/PS3 backlog when I traded both of them in. I knew I wasn't going to catch up so I said screw it, time to move on. While both PS4 and Xbox One are lacking overall, both are easily better two years in compared to Xbox 360 and PS3 were two years in.

For me, it was just time to get current and move on from the seventh generation simply because I knew I was never going to catch up to my backlog and figured that I would much rather minimize my backlog during the eighth generation as opposed to trying to catch up with the last generation which at the same time would just give me a backlog to the current generation.

I do miss my Xbox 360 and to a lesser extent, my PS3 but not enough to ever buy either again. With that said, I wish some games that were console exclusives like Splinter Cell Conviction (Xbox 360), Dragon's Crown (PS3) and 3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3) would get the re-mastered treatment to Xbox One and PS4 respectively. Multi-platform wise, I wish WB would re-master the entire Batman trilogy for Xbox One/PS4. Oh well.

With that all said, I'll stay with my PS4 and Xbox One simply because there's games that I want to play that won't ever be available (or as good) for last gen consoles.

Others have said pretty much the reason.
Newer/Better system does not equal better games and experience.
ie..better graphics does NOT trump better gameplay.

Reason I still have a Gamecube and PS2 at the ready and a 360 in daughters room if I need it lol
