PlayStation 4 Discussion

[Trapper700]

Now that MS has ditched their DRM and Log-In Policies, I'll likely pick up an X1 in the distant future. But it will definitely be the distant future as I have no interest in owning both straight out of the gate. The PS4 will be my console of choice. The X1 would be a purchase I made purely for their exclusives like Titanfall, Ryse and etc.

By the time you get an Xbone, Titanfall will probably already be available for the PS4. Reports and various interviews seem to suggest that it's a timed exclusive, not console exclusive.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

MS exclusives just do not appeal to me at all. Titanfall looks fun, but with BF4 I really don't need many other multiplayer options. Plus, if I get real interested I can still pick it up for 360. For me, The Order and Dark Sorcerer trailers made bigger impressions with me than anything MS has shown. Not to mention we haven't even heard/seen anything out of the first party stable of publishers for Sony.

MS just has not connected with me at all with the Xbox One. To me their vision is blurry as **** and I really have little trust or faith in them to "have my back" as a gamer.

Fresh don't you game on the PC?

If Titanfall interests you, you can always pick it up there.

I'll agree that flip-flopping their stance in chasing the buck is a bad idea and looks bad in the face of the GP.

This is what I said before the news: One on hand, I commend MS for sticking to their guns. On the other hand, they are ****ing stupid.

This is what I say now: On one hand, good job MS for listening to the gamer (or at least their dollars). On the other hand, you are still ****ing stupid and show no commitment to your vision and I don't want that from a company.

I'm still undecided on when I'm going to get a PS4. It may be a couple at launch just to have one for when the CFWs/etc. come out or I may just hold off until there's a good JRPG game that comes out that I simply must play.

I'm hoping that with the x86 architecture that both systems are using, we see more PC ports done because it should be quite easy to do for an easy revenue bump to the publishers.

Here's a decent article comparing XBone vs PS4 vs PC.

http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/15...-specs-compare

The only thing I disagree with is this part:

Ultimately, with both the Xbox One and PS4 having such similar hardware, real-world performance differences will probably come down to how well the consoles make use of those eight CPU cores, GPU offloading, and differences in the memory subsystem. It’s also important to bear in mind that a huge speed-up is available when developing games for a fixed platform with known performance/latency characteristics. Realistically, we wouldn’t be surprised if games on the Xbox 720 and PS4, just like the current generation, look very similar. Likewise, games will probably look better on consoles for a few years, and then PCs will probably pull back ahead.

The only reason I disagree with it is the way it's written. Games developed for one system will obviously look better than games written for the lowest common denominator, but he makes it sound as if the PCs power is holding it back. In the real world, games may look better on the XBone/PS4, but that's due to the developers focus and not due to any inherent flaw in the power of PC gaming.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I did it this gen. Wasn't entirely easy but learned to block our all PS3 related news/info and I was fine. For me it just became lack of time with 2 kids. So one system just worked easier.

Same thing with me, I have both PS2 and Xbox, played extensively on both. But because of increase responsibilities at work and at home, I stick to 360. This time around, I dont see much changes in my responsibilities, probably much bigger now than before, so I will just stick with one console and that is PS4.

It's hard to believe in a company that will compromise their own vision and plans just to increase sales.

Well, as one member posted, if MS could easily "remove" or should i say "delay" their vision to get the desire revenue they could still implement this by forcing you to download "updates" down the line.

What is important for MS right now is not to be swept away by PS4 sales and get back their consumers. In my case, Im sold out to PS4 on release date.

But what was their vision anyway? DRM and unexplained policies? I know people have short-term memory and in 5 months a lot of people will get both systems, but MS has botched it with me.

All the "features" that were seemingly taken away were just conjectures based on snippets of information. Its like MS gave us a whiteboard with a couple words on it and people filled in the major details.

My PC won't handle it. I built it about 5 years ago so I could use a new tower.

For those trying to kick that 2 console habit this time around, just remember Don with his %#*+eating grin feeding you a load of BS. That should help.






Truth is if Sony screws the pooch and MS drops the Kinect mandate, then I may return to the dark side, but I really hope Sony has learnt their lesson.

Yeah, lack of time makes it easy (for me too, I don't touch PS3 now).

I won't have a problem going to one system, but just want all the info.

There's still a lot Sony has to detail about PSN and everything. We really don't know anything different other than it costs money now. I've seen a leaked video about social, but no in depth facts.

Same with MS and Xbox One...

Just want to know all the exclusives, all the online differences, etc so I can make my decision later.

I'm leaning PS4 though since most people here are flipping, but I do like the Xbox Kinect entertainment features.

FYI, I'd be kinda wary of preordering at very busy Gamestop locations going forward, they are currently accepting "unlimited" preorders - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=599131

Can anyone explain to me the "touchpad" in the middle of the controller? Haven't really understood how it will work.

This part I don't think you will have a lot to worry about with Sony.

I somewhat trust them, but haven't really heard much as of yet. Nothing amazing to grab me like Uncharted or something.

Xbox has Dead Rising 3 and a few other exclusives that seem cool, whereas PS4 has Knack and some free driving game?

Just want to get more announcements...since I'm buying one system I at least want to consider exclusives. MS has made it a point to focus on exclusives now, I want to hear what Sony's doing.

I don't think they've really explained much of what it's going to be used for.

In one tech demo I was surprised to hear that it sounds like you can click it.

Yeah, they explained features in the tech demo (it's basically the equivalent of the mousepads built into the laptops it seems, in terms of what it can do) but I really fail to see how it adds to gaming in any way (on a console at least. Some of the things on the Vita seemed cool, but they're all so gimmicky.)

Nothing in terms of legitimate serious gaming have ever been shown I don't think.
