Playstation 4 Discussion Thread

So I picked up a second controller as I got sick of my controller dying in the middle of the day and having to hunch over to have it plugged in. I do not know why, but I am lucky to get a full day with these controllers whereas I can do 3-4 days before having a PS3 controller die on me. I was hoping to just wait until additional colors came out as I like to only have one color, but it isn't going to happen. For all I know, it could be next year before they do additional colors.

Broke down and bought a PS4 tonight because I probably won't be at my job in December when I get the huge discount and if I am I'd rather spend that on groceries and other things than a video game system. It should be in friday or monday. Also got inFamous Second Son with it.

PS4 came in today wasn't expecting it till Monday. Got it all set up but for some reason I can't download Outlast which I added to my cart online when the game was free on PSN for PS + subscribers.

[Dr Kain]

Outlast is free?

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

It was a few months ago so I thought I added it to my download list on the website.

I almost bought a PS4, but the inability to play older PS games really kills it for me. There aren't enough games out right now that I want to play.

Got a sexy white PS4. Any of my homeys here want my ID send a message.

PS4 has been pretty disappointing to be honest. I got it mainly because I didn't want to play Destiny alone on XB1 but aside from that as a system its pretty weak.
No 5ghz wifi capability but its not like that matters since the PS4 only uses a 1/4 of your connection speed when directly connected anyway.
Ps4 vs XB1


Can't disable notifications when watching netflix or blu rays like you can with xb1, the controller battery life is pretty terrible due to its useless giant battery sucking light bar.

Only real positives I'd give the system is its DTS HD MA 7.1 audio output, its a better blu ray player and the PS4 gold headset is godlike.

Everytime I think about geting a new system, I realize there just aren't baby games I want to play, except the new Final Fantasy and Zelda (whenever they're released). I also want to play DB Xenoverse if only because I miss that series but the games haven't been that great.

I'm starting to toy with the idea of buying a PS4. What prompted the thought is that there's 2 Dynasty Warriors games on it now that I'd like to have, and I know that's a pretty weak reason because they're not much upgraded from their last-gen versions apart from the XL content bundles. I'm a Warriors junky. Then there's the upcoming Batman game too. Also, I see that 3d support was finally added, so I can use it as a primary bluray player then. I never did buy many PS3 games. The only one I'd miss is Way of the Samurai 4.

So with that thought on the mind I went to look what was up with the backwards compatibility because I remember a whiles back they were talking about supporting the PS1 and PS2. Yes, I typed that correctly. I'm a little disappointed that it seems that whatever b/w compatibility this has, or any future console will have, is most likely going to be a streaming pay service. It seems like this may be where gaming in general is headed.

[XvGojira]

After hearing that MGSV will also be released for PC, my want for a PS4 heavily dwindled. I may pick one up eventually, if enough exclusives that interest me come out for it, but as it stands I'm fine being a PC/Nintendo guy.

As for the backwards compatibility/streaming thing, I think that could be a great thing but it needs to be priced right. Last I heard the beta testing was priced 2 or 4 bucks for an hour or two (or something of the like) with three or four more tiers. Which seems pretty high to me. I think an option to "purchase" the games would ease a lot of complaints, but that wouldn't give them as much money compared to only allowing people to rent them.

[Dr Kain]

Rap, you couldn't disable the notifications on the PS3 either, so I don't see that as a big deal.

Anyway, The Last of Us Remastered is amazing. Tomb Raider Definitive is amazing. GTAV Remastered is going to be amazing as well. Then next year we will have the big next gen stuff like Batman Arkham Knight, Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, Witcher III, The Order 1886, and who knows what else.

As for Metal Gear and Final Fantasy, honestly, I'm over those series. FF hasn't had a good game since 1999 and Metal Gear Solid was fine with being done with Peace Walker. Now Kojima is just rewriting his own history instead of making new games because Metal Gear is all he knows how to do. Why not do Zone of the Enders 3, another BOktai, or a new Policenauts?

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Right now my PS4 is collecting dust, probably won't get play time until Febuary when Bloodborne and The Order come out both of those look amazing to me.

This year belongs to the XboxOne for me and next year is shaping up to be the PS4. Speaking of PS4 when's that Deep Down game supposed to come out? That one looked really interesting.

Picked up a PS4 today. Is there a way to turn off the line of light on the console itself? Its currently the brightest device underneath my tv, and that kind of irks me.

[Ultraseven]

PS4: yes. Funny story, last year i got mine at launch because my car's insurance company was giving away PS4s plus Knack for a two-year full plan (competitive price btw). As i play with my PS3 more, the only games i have are Knack (duh!), The last of Us remastered and Onechanbara Z2 Chaos , now waiting for Ultra Street Fighter 4, Earth Defense Force 4.1 and Godzilla! And of course Street Fighter V and The Last Guardian (c'mon, let's pray is not a PS5 launch title)

[XvGojira]

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

PS4 is defiently going to be getting a lot more play next year from me. The Order in Febuary, Bloodborne in March, Godzilla in the summer, then there's Uncharted 4 and rumor has it we'll be getting another Uncharted Collection for the PS4 similar Halo Master Chief collection.

I really can't think of any Xbox One games coming out next year besides Evolve that I'll be getting.

Does the snow affect the driving in the game or is it purely an aesthetic feature?
