Two Assassin's Creeds? Despite me being skeptical about releasing two games from the same friggen series, I'll be buying both (despite me not having a PS4).
Really hyped to see if it's Unity is really a Next-Gen experience.
@get2sammyb Yes, stock, especially in UK and US need to be kept as high as possible, lest people think Sony is being lazy or that they won't see stock until 2015.
I only have two reasons to get PS4 though at this point: ACIV and inFamous. And surely there are still bugs to work out most likely.
They better show us hard-hitters- like Silverback said, we need less indies. In place of Indies, awesome games that beef up the library so it is more appetizing to fork over the 400 bucks to get PS4 (that was the major complaint even by people who have the PS4- lack of AAA's and stuff).
1. Looking forward to an Assassin's Creed game that is exclusive to next-gen consoles, as well! I want to see what both the X1 and PS4 can make out of ACV. Though I'm afraid due to X1 not being as powerful, Sony's version will have to be brought down to X1's level. sadface.jpg
2. I'm hoping for more news and images/trailers for Mass Effect 4. Along the same lines, hoping for EA to tell us if they're continuing the Dead Space series, as they said that Visceral is working on a non-DS game.
3. Hopefully Second Son is as awesome to play as it is to watch and look at!
Ugh, this is the kind of thing that makes me fearful for Sony. I have been a faithful customer since PS1. I hope that Sony can turn this around. I hope PS4 isn't the last console we see out of them, their consoles are always amazing.
I have been on a roll lately getting things done. I have 0 games right now minus ACIV which I'm getting for PS4, I'll probably have 5-10 PS4 games on my backlog before I get a PS4.
ACIV:BF is the only thing that entices me from the whole list. Not huge into indie games or FPSes. Won't be picking up ACIV:BF until a price cut though, and won't get a PS4 this year or even next- nevertheless, judging from what's in the pipeline for 2014, PS4 is going to have a strong start in my library.
For me, it's more about games, though it doesn't hurt that PS4 is more powerful. I also like Sony's take on partnering up with newer gaming franchises instead of getting exclusive content from COD and such, it's forward-thinking.
Also, the whole DRM mess doesn't help Microsoft's case, AT ALL. Nintendo and Sony for me.
The only games I really get addicted to with Nintendo are Zelda and Metroid- neither have an entry on Wii U. I'll be addicted to the 3DS with the new Zelda.
Sony has so many great things going for it game-wise. Sucker Punch's inFamous being the one I'm really looking forward to. And of course you can count on me being addicted to ACIV once I get my PS4.
Once games like Mass Effect 4 and Dead Space 4 (you know it'll happen) come out, those will probably obliterate anything I could find on the Wii U.
I'm not huge into FPS games, but Destiny looks similar to Halo, all things considered. I can literally call some enemies that come out of the drop ships "Elite 2.0" or whatnot. I'm not saying a shite game, but the storyline looks like where it will divide Destiny from Halo.
PS4 for sure. But not launch day, waiting for more titles that appeal to me (at the moment really interested in inFamous: Second Son and ACIV: Black Flag; with Mass Effect 4 coming out, I'm really psyched). Even if PS4 was slightly less powerful, I'm a sort of turning into a Sony fanboy.
Won't be getting it at launch, but I'm hyped beyond belief. I thought a 2013 PS4 would be too soon, and still kind of do. But hey, Sony hopefully still knows how to make an awesome system.
I'll be waiting until I get PS4 to get Sony games, so my PS3 will only be turned on every once in a blue moon.
Don't disappoint Sony, or I'll have to beat my head against a wall!
Say PS4 comes out in 2014, and the same is true between PS4 and PS5, nearly 10 year leaps in technology, I think it's wise to have a 4K-ready console if you're going for another timeline like that.
I'm hoping they don't rush this. They need to perfect the system. And it damn well better be around an AMD chip (Kaveri or Steamroller anyone?), I'm tired of how third party devs are sick of Sony's decision to stick with Cell.
Late 2014 would be fine with me, I still probably won't have the Wii U by that time anyway, and PS4 will probably be above what the Wii U was at launch.
Yeah, the Mako is the reason I won't do a 100% run. Absolutely poo controls, I don't know who programmed it, but I would like to see their drug screening results.
Anyway, personally, I would give it an 8/10, I played it twice back-to-back pretty much. ME2 and ME3 I consider perfect 10's (yes, even the ending). It hasn't aged well, but you need to control for the fact that this was an early release for the original system.
I'm looking forward to DmC and Dead Space 3 the most from what I've seen.
I don't think we need a PS4 yet. I once did, but would rather wait till late 2014-early 2015. Though, in any case I'm waiting awhile until I get my PS4.
I've been anticipating the PS4, but with them being BB-, they may want to wait until price of equipment goes down. What really killed PS3 for me buying it any time soon after its launch was the price- and it's still a $249.99 system last I checked.
PS3 is a great system, but they really need to be innovative with features (for the consumer) and specs (for the devs), at least that would be the perfect system I'd buy.

Re: BioWare Is Thinking About Bringing the Mass Effect Trilogy to PS4
Second favorite series of last-gen, first would be Assassin's Creed, but ME2 and ME3 are masterpieces, and ME1 was pretty good.
Either way, wouldn't invest in this, have the trilogy for PS3.

Re: Talking Point: Do the December NPD Results Flag a Flaw in PS4's Strategy?
They've played it perfectly in my opinion. Now is time to focus on Japan's release.
I don't see X1 being budged no matter how many PS4's are available here in America.
Re: You Can Substantially Speed Up Your PS4 by Swapping in a New Hard Drive
Waiting for either Black 2 by WD to come in at least 2TB or an SSHD with 2TB (Seagate has the latter, but it's still a little expensive).
Re: Review: Knack (PlayStation 4)
@SuperSilverback
"Because" is one of those awesome valid reasons, too.

Re: PlayStation 4 May Well Be Make or Break for Struggling Sony

Re: Poll: How Many PS3 Games Do You Hope to Finish Before Fully Focusing on PS4?

Re: Current Sales of Assassin's Creed IV and Battlefield 4 Are Dead in the Water
Waiting to get ACIV later for the PS4.
Re: This Is What the PS4's Launch Lineup Looks Like Right Now
ACIV:BF is the only thing that entices me from the whole list. Not huge into indie games or FPSes.

Re: Not Pumped for PS4 Yet? Maybe a Bit of Bass Will Help
Nice to see Sony isn't blowing their load all at once with those 180 games.
Excited as possible about PS4's future, Sony has outdone themselves with creating hype.
Re: This is the Only Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Trailer You'll Ever Need
Seeing as Assassin's Creed is my favorite series of all time, definitely getting this... For PS4.
Regarding the Naval part, it looks like they fixed the problems I had with ACIII's Naval missions.
Re: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Director Sphinx Ancient Egypt Would Make a Great Setting
I think Egypt would be pretty darn awesome. Definitely interested in Black Flag, despite the reliance on sailing (hello, worst parts of ACIII).
Re: Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime Not Very Impressed with the PS4's Launch Lineup
The only games I really get addicted to with Nintendo are Zelda and Metroid- neither have an entry on Wii U. I'll be addicted to the 3DS with the new Zelda.

Re: Sony Prefers to Partner with Third-Party Titles That Are 'New and Fresh'
I'm not huge into FPS games, but Destiny looks similar to Halo, all things considered. I can literally call some enemies that come out of the drop ships "Elite 2.0" or whatnot. I'm not saying a shite game, but the storyline looks like where it will divide Destiny from Halo.
Overall: May try, will see reviews first though.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a $500 PS4 and Vita Bundle?
Don't see the appeal really. Vita is alright I suppose, but I don't find it appealing as something to buy right now. PS4 on the other hand = GIMME.
Re: FAQ: What Are the Differences Between the PS4 and Xbox One?
PS4 for sure. But not launch day, waiting for more titles that appeal to me (at the moment really interested in inFamous: Second Son and ACIV: Black Flag; with Mass Effect 4 coming out, I'm really psyched). Even if PS4 was slightly less powerful, I'm a sort of turning into a Sony fanboy.
Re: E3 2013: PlayStation 4 Will Cost You Just $399 When It Launches
Sony planned this out well. 100 dollars less than One. Can't wait!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Two
Replaying Dead Space 3 (Plus Awakening DLC). Trying to beat my time of 11 hours for doing both.
Re: First Impressions: Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC Is One Party That You Shouldn't Skip
I liked Omega and Leviathan significantly more, but Citadel's ending had me teary-eyed.
Re: Preview: Sailing the Seven Seas in the Seamless Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
The overhauled ship battles sound damn fine.
Re: EA Is Very Excited About PS4, But May Be Aligning with Microsoft
@ShogunRok TAKE MASS EFFECT 4 AND I'LL GO NUTS.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Departs on 29th October
Definite PS4 pick-up for me.
Re: PlayStation 4 Specifications Harness Extraordinary Power
So. Much. Power. Wonder how the 720 will compare.
Re: Sucker Punch's inFamous: Second Son Electrifies PlayStation 4
Must have.
Re: Sony Officially Reveals the PlayStation 4, Launching Holiday 2013
InFamous is the only game that really interests me right now. Not worth getting it day 1, but damn the PS4 is going to be BEAST!
Re: Yes, Sony Will Announce the PlayStation 4 on 20th February
Crazy!
Won't be getting it at launch, but I'm hyped beyond belief. I thought a 2013 PS4 would be too soon, and still kind of do. But hey, Sony hopefully still knows how to make an awesome system.
I'll be waiting until I get PS4 to get Sony games, so my PS3 will only be turned on every once in a blue moon.

Re: Talking Point: Does the PS4 Need 4K Resolution?
Say PS4 comes out in 2014, and the same is true between PS4 and PS5, nearly 10 year leaps in technology, I think it's wise to have a 4K-ready console if you're going for another timeline like that.
Re: Sony Bets the Bank on 4K Technology at CES
Will pass the 4K bandwagon, waiting for 8K to upgrade... I only got my first HD TV (1080p) last year.
Re: Kaz Hirai: PS Vita Sales Are on the Low End of Expectations
I would consider buying a Vita if:
1. They dropped the price to $149.99 (same price as 3DS).
2. Dropped memory card prices substantially.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PlayStation 3 Game of 2012
I'd say ACIII was my GOTY, ME3 would be runner-up for me.
Re: Talking Point: Is the PlayStation 2 the Greatest Games Console of All Time?
Playstation 1 is my favorite thus far. Gamecube and Sega Genesis would be tied for second. Playstation 2 and 3 are tied for third thus far imho.
Re: Talking Point: Could 2013 Be the PlayStation 3's Biggest Year Yet?
I think the PS3 will continue to sell well. As for titles I'm looking forward to, Dead Space 3 takes the cake, but also the new DmC.
Re: Is the PlayStation 4 Further Away Than We Think?
I'm hoping they don't rush this. They need to perfect the system. And it damn well better be around an AMD chip (Kaveri or Steamroller anyone?), I'm tired of how third party devs are sick of Sony's decision to stick with Cell.
Late 2014 would be fine with me, I still probably won't have the Wii U by that time anyway, and PS4 will probably be above what the Wii U was at launch.
Re: Review: Mass Effect (PlayStation 3)
Yeah, the Mako is the reason I won't do a 100% run. Absolutely poo controls, I don't know who programmed it, but I would like to see their drug screening results.
Anyway, personally, I would give it an 8/10, I played it twice back-to-back pretty much. ME2 and ME3 I consider perfect 10's (yes, even the ending). It hasn't aged well, but you need to control for the fact that this was an early release for the original system.
Re: Reaction: The Last of Us' Launch Date Points to the PlayStation 4's Imminent Arrival
I'm looking forward to DmC and Dead Space 3 the most from what I've seen.
I don't think we need a PS4 yet. I once did, but would rather wait till late 2014-early 2015. Though, in any case I'm waiting awhile until I get my PS4.
Re: Michael Pachter: PlayStation 4 Will Launch in 2013
I've been anticipating the PS4, but with them being BB-, they may want to wait until price of equipment goes down. What really killed PS3 for me buying it any time soon after its launch was the price- and it's still a $249.99 system last I checked.
PS3 is a great system, but they really need to be innovative with features (for the consumer) and specs (for the devs), at least that would be the perfect system I'd buy.
Re: Sony's Stocks Downgraded to 'Junk' By Credit Ratings Agency
This sucks so much. Sony, do something about this.
Re: Mass Effect 4 Will Be Fuelled By DICE's Frostbite 2 Engine
I love both ME2 and ME3 (shock, horror), and will be playing the first when the trilogy releases.
Contrasting to zezhyrule I have high expectations.
Re: Review: Assassin's Creed III (PlayStation 3)
Loved nearly everything about this game. One 100% run and two minimalist runs since I got it. Totally raped ME3's GOTY spot for me.
Re: Assassin's Creed III Sells 3.5 Million Units in a Week
Beat it twice already. Great game.
Re: BioWare Deploys Mass Effect Trilogy from 4th December
Finally, a date. I'm excited for this, though I already own 2 & 3 individually on PS3.
Re: Unsurprisingly, Assassin's Creed III Is the Most Pre-Ordered Title in Ubisoft's History
Go AC.
Pre-ordered a long time ago.
Re: Sony Is Slashing 2,000 Jobs in Japan
This is terrible news. With the holidays coming, bundles will probably be where Sony is going sales-wise, and -hopefully- a Vita price drop.
Come on Sony, get back to thy former glory.
Re: Analysts: PlayStation 3 Price-Cut Unlikely to Occur This Year
The PS3 price is fine, the Vita price on the other hand...
I'd rather the PS3 price get cut after PS4 which I'm hoping is preferably coming out next year.
Vita's library is only now starting to shine, and with ACIII: Liberation coming out this December, this holiday would be awesome for a Vita price cut.
