Playstation 4 Discussion Thread

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Before this topic turns into a political topic I'll get it back on subject.

My brother in law made a comment to me recently that with all the recent delays he thinks that Xbox One has the better launch lineup not counting third party titles, me personally for games I'm interested in PS4 and XOne are tied. PS4 has Knack and Killzone where as Xbox has Ryse and DR3 and DR3 is a big maybe since I'm kind of burnt out on zombies as a whole.

I don't see any appeal in Ryse at all. If I wanted to play a QTE fest, I can replay Resident Bayvil 6.

Knack looks cute and creative and Dead Rising 3 is just another zombie game. Plus, I wonder how much of the game Ca$hcom will actually give you before you have to pay for the rest of it as DLC.

Alright peeps, I need some suggestions here...

I am considering getting either and PS4 or XBOX. I haven't really been in the gaming world outside of my PC for the past few years. I have a 360 already, but no Blu Ray player yet. I'm trying to think of this purchase in terms of which system has more to offer overall. I currently lean towards a PS4.

[Hybrid Gojira]

Thanks man, I appreciate the info.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

It's really up to what games you want to play; both systems are equal in terms of power IMO and each has a set of exclusives that will make them must own. Personally I'm going with a Xbox One first then getting the PS4. Also I'd take Kain's post with a grain of salt he's shown quite a bit of biased toward Sony as evident in that last post.

If I where you Hybrid Gojira I'd research what each system has to offer then make your decision from there. Yes MS had a bunch of crappy policies in place originally but they've changed that quite a bit since the system was annouced.

[Hybrid Gojira]

^Oh I will, just wanted some other input.

[Dr Kain]

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

I agree it was bad move treating the Xbox One like a PC but at least they reveresed the policies. Plus Sony has done some pretty bad stuff too. When the PS3 launched and it's price was annouced the CEO people to get a second job because people where complaining about how expensive it was.

The point I'm getting at is every company has made mistakes and has said or will say something to piss off it's customers.

[Dr Kain]

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Well apparently a lot of people did get sold on it once the policy reversal started because preorders are sold out but lets not drag this into a PS4 vs X1 topic.

[XvGojira]

All I know is that unless I get one of the new consoles free, I'm not picking either one up for at least a year. I'm letting both sides shake out their bugs and hopefully get a decent line up of exclusively next gen games.

I'm getting both consoles. I want to play Infamous Second Son on PS4 and Dead Rising 3 on the Xbone. I'll get the extended warranties on them to cover any issues and call it a day.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Sony confirmed that the PS4 won't that's WON'T support audio CDs, MP3s and DNLA streaming. DNLA streaming is the ability to stream something off your PC to a compatiable device. Basically what the PS3 can do now.

However they (Sony) said that they may look into a soultion for this at a future date. Also the PS4 won't support external Hard Drives.

[Dr Kain]

I'm not surprised since the PS3 doesn't do any of those either.

Or wait, the streaming thing might actually be what my friend uses to go from his computer hard drive with all of his anime downloads and watch them on the PS3 on the tv. If that is the case, the freaking sucks. Why would they get rid of that?

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

The PS3 does ALL those things now. Hell you've even talked about streaming stuff to your PS3 Kain.

I have no idea why Sony got rid of the feature hopefully they add it back in in an update.

[Dr Kain]

[canofhumdingers]

the PS3 absolutely does play CDs. I did it just a few days ago.

A with less than a week to go, I'm still on the fence about getting this. My Amazon Prime will inform me as soon as they're available to order, but I'm wondering if I should just wait until at least next Spring.

[Dr Kain]

I just told the manager at my Gamestop that I will be passing on this round for the console, but am going to keep my payment in the system so I don't have to worry about it later. If it could play GTAV, I probably would still have gotten it now instead of Feb.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

We got our PS4s in today at Walmart and the box looks kind of nice. They're in the management office until Thursday at midnight.

The box looks like a larger Vita box.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Sony has confirmed that the PS4 will get MP3, CD and DLNA streaming support post launch in a patch but they also confirmed that the system doesn't support 3D Blu-rays which is odd considering the PS3 did that. I know it only affects a small number of people but still kind of upsetting.
