Never made the move to PS5.
My original PS4 is in the bedroom and my PS4 Pro is still rocking in the living room - both see regular use.
With a substantive backlog, I've not seen a reason to "upgrade"

What would be mind-blowingly awesome would be if the PS Collection announced for PS5 hit PS4 Plus in the "final" month of this gen, as a "thanks for playing" kind of send off for PS4. Can't see that happening at all, but can dream...

Having just bought the PSVR Mega Pack for my birthday a few weeks back, I splashed out on a number of VR games, including Super Hot, Déraciné, In Death and Tetris Effect.
All awesome - really enjoying In Death at the moment...

Never got round to picking this game up first time, so may be investing in Maxima very soon...

Been splitting my time between Spider-Man and Monster Hunter World. Also need to try out the Gambit mode on Destiny 2 whilst it's on its second free trial, decide if it's worth spending £30+ on the Forsaken expansion...

I really enjoy playing Cities: Skylines and find myself losing hours when I decide to have a session on it.
In terms of the DLC, I picked up the Deluxe Edition a while back in a PSN sale, which at the time worked out cheaper than the standard edition at retail, so I lucked in.

@Dange If they did a Saturn or Dreamcast collection that would be an instant pre-order!!

Really enjoyed the Megadrive Collection on the PS3. However, think the omission of Revenge of Shinobi (my favourite of the Shinobi games), Eternal Champions (which is by far a better beat 'em up than the Megadrive version of Virtua Fighter 2, IMO), as well as the games omitted from the PS3 version is probably enough to put me off purchasing this immediately.
Think I'll wait for this to drop in a PSN Sale.

I've got this for both PS3 and PSVITA. Still pre-ordered it on PS4. Such a great game.

ICO and SOTC were amazing back on PS2. Despite still owning the Remaster on PS3 I'm still very tempted to buy this...

@DrClayman I hit a similar problem. Think it's a great game but it has a fiendish difficulty spike. Still have it for my PS3 so definitely going to give it another go before it releases next year. May get it for my PSVITA rather than my PS4.

Currently trying for the Platinum Trophy on Until Dawn, hopefully will have that sorted this weekend. Been getting really into MLB The Show 17 again, particularly the Diamond Dynasty mode, so will be playing some of that this weekend. Also need to crack on with Persona 5 and could do with picking up Destiny 2 again.

Last WWE 2K game I owned was 2K14 on PS3 and I thought that was awesome. Have always been a fan of WWE games since the PSOne era (when they were still WWF) so I am tempted to purchase this one...

Been playing No Man's Sky pretty much non-stop since it released - while I admit it's not perfect by a long chalk, I can't seem to tear myself away from playing it.
No regrets purchasing this game.

NMS was always going to be one of those games that polarised opinions.
I pre-ordered the game and was hyped for it - hell, NMS was one of the reasons I decided to upgrade to a PS4 in the first place.
I'm absolutely loving this game - I have no regrets about purchasing it and one I can see myself putting many hours into.
Hats off to Hello Games for having a vision and seeing it through.
I can understand how some people have an issue with the price at launch - I personally do not, but then again I personally take issue with paying £40-50 for a game which then expects me to pay an additional £40 for a "Season Pass" - I just hope that Hello Games stay true to their plan to add additional features via patch updates and not look to premium DLC...

Never heard of 65dos until today, but wow... Listened to the whole thing and I'm even tempted to go out and purchase the soundtrack itself.
Track 7 Escape Velocity (29:45 in on their YouTube video) is haunting...

I never bothered with PS Plus while I had my PS3 and Vita - only subscribing to it since getting a PS4. I still have both my PS3 and Vita and I have certainly taken advantage of the PS Plus discounts and some of the free monthly games.
I'm personally not that bothered if PS Plus support is dropped for PS3 and Vita - my concern echoes others on this comment thread in Sony dropping network support for these consoles - I have over 20 games downloaded from PSN on my Vita and over 50 games downloaded from PSN on my PS3 HDD (I put a 1TB in it 3 years ago). To lose access to these games after years of supporting PS3 and Vita would be a kick in the teeth...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution was one of my all time favourite games on last gen, so the sequel certainly has me interested.
Slight downside is I've already pre-ordered No Man's Sky, so with this and the other games I have sat in my backlog, I'm a little reluctant to go out and get Mankind Divided day one.
I might wait and see if they release a "Director's Cut" down the line and get it then - plus gives me time to replay Human Revolution.

Think I'll keep one eye on this... Might pick it up if price is right and a decent quality port...

Konami were behind some of the games that were an influential part of my childhood and young adulthood... Personally, I'm gutted at this news.

Looks like EA end up winning the football franchise contest by default... and just as Konami were finally getting it right with PES.

Looks like the only other thing I can say on the subject is this...

"Sayōnara Konami - Thanks for the memories."

"p.s. I won't wish you the best for the future - doubt there'll be much of one for you..."

Well... Erm... Be some interesting #PS4share tweets when this releases.

In all honesty, Bloodborne is the first game on PS4 that has tempted me to throw down money and make the upgrade from my PS3.

I'm going to wait a while though, before making the move to PS4. In my opinion the PS4 needs some more interesting and unique games released on it and not just more HD remasters.

I've owned a PS3 since it launched in the UK, and the last 8 years have been great.

I've been gaming on Sony consoles since the original PlayStation - in terms of the home consoles, I've been gaming on each for the following length of time:
PSOne - 4 years
PS2 - 5 years
PS3 - 8 years

I am resigned to the fact that the PS3 is in its twilight years, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Getting 8 years of great gaming out of the console is impressive in itself, when compared to the previous two home consoles...

Will I buy a PS4? At the moment... No.

There just aren't enough games peaking my interest enough for me to drop £300 - £400 on the PS4...

A lot of the games I'm interested in that released on PS4 have been released on PS3 also, so no incentive to move generations...

I'm going to watch what happens over the next 12 months with the PS4, both in terms of games and price, before I commit to a purchase. Remastered re-releases of games only a couple of years old on PS3 are not enough to sway me to go next-gen with Sony's console, especially when the asking price of such games is £40-£50, Metro Redux being the exception price-wise.

In the meantime, I've got a huge backlog of great PS3 games to play, and a Wii U with some potentially huge games releasing later this year, and an already impressive (albeit smaller) collection of games...

I think it purely depends on the game.

I bought Civilization Revolution for PS3 on launch for £40, a game of which you can finish in around 4 hours, but the replay-ability of the game is huge, and one I still pick up and play today!!

I enjoyed Alien: Isolation, but the length of the campaign almost ruined the experience for me, with some sections that infuriated me due to it's repetition of tasks, or deciding to go off on an unnecessary tangent.

I have countless RPG's and open-world games sat in my backlog, whilst I will eventually get round to playing them, huge games can be a bind and difficult to stick with, unless they have a deeply involving story, or a fun pick up & play style.

Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls games, in my opinion, are classic examples of games that get the balance right. You can tank along the main story over several hours - to replay again at a later date, or you can spend weeks to months exploring off the beaten track to see what you can discover.

I remember Dishonored causing a similar uproar to The Order: 1886 on its release, with reports that the game could be finished in around 6 hours. Yet as people started playing the game more, discovering its intricacies and its "playground" play-style (just search for Dishonored creative kills on Youtube for examples), it became more than about just a short game length, and on this basis I chose to buy it shortly after launch.

I guess time will tell with The Order, but I can understand why some people are a bit upset about paying out a considerable amount of money for a game that is short in length, especially if there's little replay-ability in it.

FF15 does look amazing, but for me it's an easier decision to make... By default I'll be picking up Persona 5, as out of the two games that's the one releasing on PS3.

My PS3 & Vita games backlog is too large to consider complicating it further with the purchase of a PS4 (plus the Wii U has some really promising releases this year that will likely take up my time).

While I wait for Persona 5 to release on PS3, I've got Persona 4 Golden, FF VII through X-2 & FF XIII trilogy to keep me busy...

Going to be concentrating on Alien: Isolation (PS3) this weekend, really enjoying the game.
If I need to take a break from all the tension may play some Senran Kagura SV on PS Vita or Hyrule Warriors on Wii U.
Still waiting for my pre-ordered copy of Bayonetta 1&2 Special Edition, only despatched yesterday.

My plans for gaming this weekend:

PS3 - Diablo III Reaper of Souls: Ultimate Evil Edition.

PSVita - Don't Starve, Sword Art Online: HF, Atelier Rorona Plus.

Never bothered with the Neptunia games on PS3, namely due to the mixed reviews the games received - I am tempted to get Re-birth 1 on Vita, but I am waiting for a price drop before I take the plunge...

The first Disgaea game I started with was Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention on my Vita - I also picked up Disgaea (PSP) when it was on sale on PSN, following a recommendation from a friend - I love the games but I haven't invested nearly enough time in them to warrant purchasing Disgaea 4 yet - think I'll wait for a price drop on PSN.

Speaking of price drops, @kensredemption Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention is currently on sale for the Vita on the EU PSN Store - might be a good place to start if you don't want to invest full price on a Disgaea game.

@CanisWolfred If you're looking for players to team up with on Diablo III UEE (PS3) could always add me ( PSN - Gahiberis_Kurs78 )...

@odd69 Cool... Which account is your PS3 one.?? I'll add you...

Playing Diablo III: Reaper of Souls UE on PS3 this weekend. Great game, even on PS3. Probably going to try and play some Gravity Rush on PS Vita too, really getting into that game.

@redd214 I installed a 1TB HDD in my PS3 last year, breathed new life into my machine, HDD only cost me £55 too.

Been playing some FMC2014 and P4G on PSVita. Also been trying to complete AC III story on PS3 over the weekend. Likely will be launching my first online franchise on MLB The Show 14 later this evening on PS3, alongside one of my friends - we're both new to the game but both really enjoying playing it.

After playing the beta, I was really looking forward to Destiny and was even considering pre-ordering... But not any more I'm afraid...

Looks like one game I can scratch off my wishlist...

Might try and get an hour or two in later, if I can prize myself away from Rogue Legacy...

@XFsWorld I agree with you, it would be a great game on Vita, but in all honesty I think the only way you'd be able to play this on Vita is via remote play. As a non-PS4 owner, I'd just be happy if they ported it to PS3...

Anyone know when this is due for release in the UK??

Been enjoying the Destiny Beta on PS3 this weekend. Picked up Demon Gaze on Friday and downloaded Soul Sacrifice Delta last night for my Vita, so think will be hitting those two when the Destiny Beta ends later...

@belmont The 64GB memory cards were available in the UK for a very short while after the Vita launched, but the price for one was absolutely rediculous.!!
These days, your options for getting a 64GB Vita memory card if you're in the UK/EU are limited, and most involve importing from overseas.

@odd69 Dragon's Crown - good choice, great game..!!

Started Assassin's Creed III this morning, been playing the games from AC I back to back. Also been spending some time playing MLB The Show 14 this afternoon - think I'm finally starting to get the hang of the game. Will be playing these two and on my Vita in between watching the World Cup.

Yay.!! With this and Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, that's my Xmas 2014 gaming sorted. Proof there's still life in the old PS3 Dog yet..!!

@3rdEyeMind Not bothered with a PS4 yet, got more than enough games on my PS3 to keep me busy.

Must admit though, its an exciting time to be a PSVita owner. All we need now is for Sega to localise Phantasy Star Online 2 to the west and I'll be very happy indeed..!!

With what has released so far and what is due out later this year, looks like 2014 is turning out to be the Vita's year..!!

This looks promising, lets hope a western release happens...

Picked up Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc for my Vita today - can't wait to start playing it later. Probably try to get some more time on Persona 4 Golden over the weekend also.

@Jaz007 Fair point - for me its an issue around having only limited shelving space under my TV, plus an advantage to make the next gen console backwards compatible would be I could play my existing PS3 games collection whilst waiting for more games to release on PS4. Also, if the PS4 sharpened up the graphics on the PS3 games like the PS2 did with PSOne games, all the better. I feel backwards compatability would have attracted more people who don't have a PS3 to the PS4, as there would already be a substantial lineup of great games for the console.

I think Sony's two biggest mistakes have been not making the PS3 backwards compatible with PS2 games (with the exception of the first wave of consoles that had limited PS2 game compatability - mine broke just out of warranty) and not making the PS4 backwards compatible with PS3 games. If Sony had made the PS4 able to play PS3 games, they would have encouraged a lot of existing PS3 players to make the upgrade to PS4, myself included.

Yeah, this game has definitely caught my interest...
