No problems with my 1tb original fat 60 model. There is a benevolent, caring creator watching over us and his name is getting a GT5 patch instead of crashing.
Maybe kids will buy whatever's cheapest, but regular people will buy what they actually prefer... right? I'm getting PS4 if only in support of PS5 and Vita2.
@get2sammyb I guess I was more responding to the sheer volume of companies involved than insinuating good games are made only by big teams. (TES4 had a single dungeon designer!) Also, each dev could be working on multiple projects, some of which will be features/programs/applications for the OS, which is good to know. I simply thought: Were there even 500 PS3 games? Seems unmanageable, seeing as I own the only 10 PS3 discs I actually wanna keep. My house is gonna be overflowing with bluray cases this winter. Or external HDDs. But definitely credit card bills...
There are 505 currently functioning PS4 dev companies? I bet mostly 2 and 3 man operations making "indie" titles, but... "quantity over quality" is the saying, right?
If you have a Vita (or PSP to a lesser extent) AND a PS3/4, then Plus is worth it, especially if remote play is gonna be a Plus feature only (anybody know yet?). Sometimes the updates are like "wut..." but over the course of a year you'll get stuff you'll actually play. And that's their current policy, so I'd guess they're gonna add a lot to the PS4 incarnation, based on how much they want us to like and buy their whole entire pitch. Everybody should get 6 months or something for buying a console anyways. They'd only be out $25 each system, and it'd boost initial sales. Btw, I can have PS3 trophies on my non-BC console? Uh, okay. Why?
heh that is indeed a paradox. Waiting makes it way cheaper, but then you're missing out. I'm sure the two versions will have differences acting as incentive, and stores will probably help us out with a trade-in deal, idk. At least get the PS3 one and just enjoy the loveliness of a nearly next gen experience on your comfortable old beast (like how Kingdom Hearts 2 looks way better than what we thought PS2 was capable of)
Yeah, Gears of War is almost as bad an idea as GOD of War. Nobody even misses it either. I mean, the first one came out in 07 with Mass Effect cause 360 =ed 3rd p shooters with military/science themes... time for some new ideas!!
Heh I've only returned one game to buy it new and get the pass: Far Cry 3, and it also came with the new ghost recon for free, so go figure. Idk why they ever started doing the pass separately, (yes I do, money) but its cool they wanna stop charging us more. Hell, I was reminiscing over the days when the strategy guide would come with every game for free. Sob...
You accept any contract or situation by buying the product or taking the action. Legally, you agree tacitly as soon as you buy the system AND explicitly by signing EULA when making a psn account etc.. Nobody forced you twice, so just don't buy anything if it isn't up to your standards. There's also a myriad of 3rd party consoles coming out btw, so sheesh. I'm buying a PS4 but im also keeping my Vita, PC, ds, tv, and gf within reach. it'll be okay, you guys! Have faith in Sony's ability to spy on us and give us what we don't even know we want
lol PS <3 Devs is golden. They need to sell those online or include them with the console or something. (Remember those silver Atari jackets? Me neither, but...)
Holy... What a weird but sane choice. He's got a great film repertoire (haven't even seen 24). I'm impressed they picked him, honestly. Good for him. Good for them. Good for us. : ) what a good year
@Sony_70 idk, man... It's a distinct possibility that I'm mental. Dude said Sony's better at managing their indie game portfolio, and GameInformer said the update would cost $30, though, so... yeah.
Okay, so MS is jealous of Journey. I'm jealous of it too; I wish I came up with and produced a high-selling indie game and got money for it. But I didn't and that's why I let Sony do it and don't try to make a better/alternative console myself. (Y'all hear about the NON-FREE windows 8 start button update? I hate Microsoft.)
@rastamadeus@Sanquine it's the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. We get to own firearms. And any children who might end up dead is better than nobody having the right, says the government. The idea is that we'll keep our spawn safe by instructing and educating them on the responsibility that goes with the right. But if the adults are imbeciles, then everybody dies, which is sadly true for any country. But we have so many gun murders that we make you wait a few days before you get the gun you bought. Anyhow,... E3, though, is absolutely exciting! Just don't watch of you're so bored of it. There's an entire great big world out there, guys. Expand your horizons and video game culture excitement will return to the place in your heart it deserves
@TheRealBatman it's pretty good on PC, there's just not a real large player-base in NA, at least, so you kinda just run around and randomly warp to firefights. Even if everyone gets a PS4, I foresee having the same or similar problem. It's a good game, but the maps are a little huge for how few people are in the server with you (me). It seems destined for a controller over mouse&keyboard
@BlueProxy sweet, man. I get what you mean about COD; MW1 looked and felt very superimposed, probably because it more-or-less was. I'm convinced. ty gl dd hf ka. MGS4's first-person takes the cake, though; I've played the whole game that way and its amazing. MGO needs to be resurrected as a stand-alone game (maybe even another Battlefield-type COD competitor - I think it's good enough)
Show me what Bethesda and BioWare have been working on for the next gen. I'm sure E3 will be crazy full of new stuff, cause we need games to play the same hour we receive our systems
@Sanquine lmao I agree with your sentiment completely. There's seriously no games I actively want to purchase; with Vita it's always "well, what's available to me? Oh, an old PSP game I own on disc... Maybe it'll be better with two sticks... Nope, I wasted my money again." And that's a sad thing to have keep happening to us. If there were a Mass Effect/KotOR style game or something normal, I'd be so happy! Touch/tilt stuff for minigames like theirs are obviously a perfect match too. Anyhow, moar Vita stuff!!!
$350 for the 12 gb equivalent maybe? "The cheap one" with no preloaded services and one controller, right? Then retailers can bundle it up to $400 easy by adding a single game. I'd love to know about the hdd upgradability before I buy anything. I didn't know you could upgrade ps3's to 2 tbs till recently for example. Screw paying for a dumb internal hdd I can get myself
Also, is this LAN only? or can we indeed leave our houses and still have remote play work? I can never get ICO, for example, to work outside of connecting to my PS3's network. @Jaz007 But how could something represented by so many pixels on TV and still look good with significantly less pixels to use? You'd get crazy flicker/shimmer/noise if there's, say, a chain link fence on-screen cause the finer lines would have to be down-res-ed. Remember the Big Shell's handrails from MGS2(non-HD)? Diagonal lines have always posed a problem, but PS4's weird active polygony magic hopefully circumvents the entire issue (This is forgoing any AA that PS4/Vita might have)
I have reservations regarding compressed graphics; wouldn't it more or less have to look good on either 1080p OR Vita res? And not both? Unless it magically or mathematically adds up so that the Vita version is still even worth playing. Or am I unfairly/unneedingly worrying about PS2 graphics issues happening on its beautiful new grandson? "You gotta baby it a little; you gotta love it" "I'll love it when it works" "It'll work when you love it; lemme do it"
@XCWarrior haven't you heard? We just sold our over-1.2-million-th unit! That means like one in 5 million people picked one up! Can you sense my tone? Sell your guitar; buy a Vita.
Pretty exciting. It'd make sense if they started distinguishing between Big Boss and Solid Snake, especially if they're ever gonna be in a game together. Maybe Naomi and Mei Ling will get their accents back, too.
Wouldn't it just make us give more money to studios so they can have financial freedom enough to create artwork that comes from the heart instead of every game being 100% hack cause the companies can't take risks?!!??!....???
Needz moar Animal Crossing. I'm getting that AC 3dsxl for the gf for sure. Sony has got some stiff competition, so they'd better get a dozen good games out soon. GT Vita would be so sweet, but they're just waiting for PS4's first installment to do Remote Play, I think. It'd be too good of an idea, which apparently is an option now (no MH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)
