@Superconsole@get2sammyb You dont know how my heart lept when I saw them entering White Chapel. I love the BBC series and I hope this is a reflection of the plot and storytelling.
Not interested. Im not a FPS fan to start with. And not big into MP either. Couple that with MS recent statement and I cant see why ANYONE would buy this console.
"With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies"
Its so funny, sooo many people complained the remote play was wasted cause only a few games took advantage of it and Sony should have pudhed it more. Now that they have done just that people here and on other sites are saying they shouldn't have mandated it and the poor poor devs are gonna have to do extra work. SIGH
And as for all the "Wiiu can do that too" people: Remote play works over wifi from ANY location.
If Sony was going down this used games road they should be undoing right now if they're smart. They can pull out and it should have too many repercussions. Ea might think they can survive without WiiU support but they cant make it without Nintendo AND Sony, and if XB1 is the only console with this used game fee then it wont sell as much and EA will have to come crawling back to WiiU and PS4
This sounds amazing! Playing co op with my girlfriend ( she just got a Vita, yay ) would be awesome and the Japanese style art design and story will appeal to us both, Thanks Sony!
And I remember when we thought online passes were the worst we would ever see. Paying to access online features sure is better than locking the whole game behind a pay wall.
To me the cable and NFL stuff is a gimmick. It all looks cool but realisticly that wont work in most of the world. And since they didnt even mention satellite providers its even more closed of from the world out side of America. And the 8 Gb of ram are DDR3 per IGN.
#PS4 is STILL the at the top of the trending list on Twitter in NA. Has this one fact won next gen for Sony? No. But is it impressive and will it help. You bet.
“We actually do have a PlayStation 4 version in mind, but for this holiday season, we thought it would be best for users to release on PS3 for now.”http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/15/gran-turismo-6-in-mind-for-ps4
Its weird but we probably should have seen this coming. There is always 2 GT games on each system, GT 1&2 on PS1, GT 3&4 on PS2 and now 5&6 on PS3. So yeah Versus 13......lol
@Gamer83 I thought it had too but I heard recently on GameTrailers that 360 was still ahead by 2 mill or so. Yeah I guess PS may always be #2. Thats ok i guess, it wont make me enjoy their games any less.
@Gamer83 Its hard to think that this one game was going make or break PS4 but it shows a disturbing trend. It looks like PS4 wont get a GT for atleast 3-4 yrs now. Its stupid not go have it be a launch title, having GT6 and PS4 logos together would save on advertising. Now they have to promo GT6 AND Ps4 separately. And where is the Vita version? Even a port of GT5 on the Blupoing engine would have been ok. This wont affect me personally since I dont really play GT but the rest of the world does.
I guess Sony is still in the 360 vs PS3 battle and are hoping to make back some of the money they will loose on PS4. With PS3s lineup it can definitely pull ahead of the 360 worldwide. Still seems like a weird strategy to me.
Well this makes no sense. I dont know what Sony is doing. Didn't Shuhei Yoshida say that ALL Sony 1st party studios were working on Ps4 titles? I am confused.
I still have my 4Gb that came with the First edition bundle and i will not buy another. Their too expensive right now and 32GB still wouldnt be enough. Im holding out untill we get at least a 64gb card, but im hoping for a 100 + Gb card. Atleast then if you spend alot of money on it you wont run out of space for a long time.
For me personally the exclusive FF ang TLG are the biggest deal followed very closely by U4. But like the others have stated, to steal MS's thunder GTAbis a must. Dont forget that Sony was supposed to get that exclusive Rockstar game Agent years ago but we havent heard anything since E3 2009, just like TLG.
@rastamadeus Consider a game like Star Wars The Force Unleashed. It launched on previous gen ( PS2 Wii? ) and next gen ( for the time, 2008 ) PC PS3 and 360. The content on the ps2 and wii versions were mostly the same as the other versions ( though the wii had an exclusive versus mode ) butbthe pc ps3 and 460 version had dramatically better graphics, larger environments, better physics, and the Digital Molecular Matter technology that the previous gen versions couldn't run. Right now we don't know what the exact difference is between the ps3 and PS4 versions will be. Why presume that there is no significant difference? Dont judge everything by the Wiiu, nintendo has always had trouble will 3rd party support, doesn't necessarily mean PS4 and Xbox 729 will as well.
It hasnt affected my excitement at all. Im not fool enough to believe that just because the PS3 will get the same game that the PS4 version will be the same. There will be a significant difference. The content will mostly be the same but the experience wont. Its like saying Sly Cooper TiT on vita is just as good as the PS3.
I just hope that improvement actually means improvement and not that some focus group member didnt like the control scheme so we're changing everything . Whats interesting to me is that using the to touch pad leaves R2 lpen to add another power to or weapon to. Sounds exciting!
I havent had hands on with the DS4 yet so I ask: Can you ( the gamer holding the controller ) see the color of the LED? Since its not facing you how would you be able to tell what color it is, especially during daytime or a well kit room?
@Kage_88 I see your point about the sales but it brings me back to my point. The highest rated and highest selling games on the Wii were 1st party Nintendo published titles. They wont get royalties from their own games. So in the long run (4-5 yrs from now) the Wii may not be bring in alot of money since most of the Wii revenue probably came from selling hardware. Not mention Sony and MS had the costs of maintaining a large online community and infrastructure. Nintendo had friend codes....
You can argue the creativity of the Wii because of the control scheme but considering the lack of creativity in the IPs I would have to disagree. Take Kirby's epic yarn for instance. It was orginally a new IP with anew character until some decided to shoe horn Kirby in there. There is little little creativity in slapping a mario lable on a soccer, tennis and god knows what other games they put him in. Nintendo gets by on the nostalgia factor in alot of cases, not innovation or creativity.
As for MS and Sony copying motion controls, yes they did. That tends to happen with FADS. Eveybody eventually hops on the bandwagon to try to get a piece of the pie. But thats all motion controls were, a fad. One that I think Move and Kinect proved is not a viable replacement control scheme. If it was we would still, be using Move and Kinect right now. Without it motion control gimmick the Wii would have been little more than an after though of last gen. And with the fickle casual market now enamored with their tablets and smart phones the WiiU will be what the Wii should have been, just another Nintendo system.
Take for example Final Fantasy and Resident Evil. They have both gone multiplatform but the majority still buy those titles on PlayStation because of the legacy of those franchises being on that console. At this point we have roughly 6 years of CoD being ' better ' on Xbox. Im not sure that will ever change in the minds of the masses.
@get2sammyb Thats true. But in that case ' the emperor has already won.' The average consumer is already used to associating CoD with the Xbox brand. A few exclusive dlc maps wont change that. And I dont see Sony being able to secure much more than that.
Its not the end of the world. After all we saw the first footage of Destiny at Sony's event but I don't get the feeling that its that big of a deal like it bodes badly for MS that Bungie showed it at the PlayStation meeting first. Its true that MS has an established relationship with Activision and the CoD franchise but im not loosing any sleep over it.
@Kage_88 The Wii was only a success in units sold and the minds of some fans. Software didnt sell on it well and in the long run thats where the money comes from. The biggest software success of last gen didnt come from 1st party devs but 3rd party publishers. And as long as 3rd party devs continue to ignore the WiiU it will be of little concern to MS and Sony.
Comments about this on other sites are are decidedly less positive than you would think. I expected them to be calling PS4 Doa but they are put off by the Multiplayer only premise. Rumor: Respawn's game to be Xbox-only and always-online http://disq.us/8cyqhb
I can definitely see MS doing this. But Sony will a few tricks up there sleeve too. Rumor has it the next FF will PS EXCLUSIVE and maybe a few other surprises. Andbit would bebtoo detrimental for franchises like AC, Gta, and certainly CoD to exclusive beven for a time. DLC is another matter. Either way im not buying an xbox.
@Sony_70 Honestly, I have heard of only 4 of those studios. What games have they made? 343 is thr new Halo, Lionhead is fable, Rare iv heard of and Twisted pixel but what about the others?
I think media hype will play a big role. Being here in NA and hearing xbox this and MS that, I cant tell you alot of ppl here ( unfortunately ) are greatly influenced by it. For example Bloomberg West has a quick piece on the Xbox event in may and said " Microsoft looks to maintain its lead ahead of Sony and Nintendo." Now anyone familiar with the facts knows that the 360 and PS3 are even, PS3 might even have a slight lead. And where intall base is concerned the Wii won hands down. But its sutble comments like that that people base their decisions on. Iv had friends over who only play 360 and they were shocked at what PS3 can do and what the games look like because all that they had "heard" about PS3 nothing close to true.
