PS4

[i am a snail]

I didn't understand this bit. Did they say something about it might happen eventually?

they told us that you could play ps3 games, but you would have to re-buy them from the store

God I want this game so baaad

i've got over 50 games on my shelf plus whatever's on my hd,i'll keep my ps3 for that.
i'm just hoping they support psn,ps+,etc. on ps3 for some time in the future and don't shuffle it all to ps4

the whole play s1 2 3 games via g word service interests me...
obviously its not all games but how can sony determine what i want to play...

it said all this social dynamivc of knowing what you want to play before you queue it ect...
if all i have is skate related games..
could g word service offer classics like thrasher via g word service...


i just wanna play thrasher more...

M.seven - yes but you would be able to make edits from the ps4 and yes they will keep supporting ps3,ps+,psn because they made announcement on that
Snail- If you have a ps3 and and a Ps4 why care for backwards incompatibility /only reason you are mad at any of the ps4 is because you got a xbox and now your a fan boy but from what seems what xbox wont be released till 2014

i wanna see more on the editing video feature,see what it can actually do.didn't see the psn/+ details so glad they'll continue to support my broke ass

[Ayreon]

im stoked on the video uploading. No longer have to rely on ea servers


Snail is bitching about the controller but it looks awesome. Joysticks look better. I hear some bitching that they kept the same small controller design that some hate. But I think even more people would be pissed off if they changed it too much. They've had that since PS1 and people are used to it.


The touch thing will have little to do in game. I will be a small detail here and there

you forgetting about the light on the back of the controller. It acts like play station move.

You can watch friends play their games in real time. And even take over their controller if they let you and u can help them beat hard parts and stuff
they talked about using friend chat from the PS to the vita do phones and tablets.

We also have to understand there was no way they could reveal everything. Cant show all their tricks. Xbox hasent said shit yet. And Xbox is good at stealing ideas. Completely ripped off Nintendo Mii's lol.

I wonder if they're keeping PS Home.
The last one was a fail cause they released it far too early. There was nothing to it. Then people lost interest.

Like the psp, the ps4 does the thing where you turn it off,you can turn it back on and you will be at the exact same spot in ur game with no loading

No more demos. You can play games from the store with cloud gaming and try it that way. U play it immediately.
Everything can download in the background.

If you buy a game, you can play it almost right away. You dont have to wait for the entire thing to download. You cant start playing it as it is still downloading

theres some other cool shit mentioned i forget

From the odd posts I've read through on various sites, people seem stoked about this.

Doesn't this take away the reward and whole aim of playing a video game? I don't know anyone who plays a game that doesn't want to complete any of the actual game themselves. Whats the point?

Definitely a feature that won't even be looked at for me.

fucking lol not at all
ive been a sony fanboy since the beginning. i have owned every system they have put out since the ps1, including the vita, which was a christmas gift. the vita really isn't that great of a portable system at all, it's too large and cumbersome to fit into my pocket nicely and i'm not about to whip it out of a backpack to play persona 4 on the bus. the social network sharing seems like nothing more than free advertisement for other games, and frankly why should any of my facebook friends know when i'm playing a video game? and the "paying for online features" is mostly what kept me in sony's pocket for the longest time, since their online service was free as opposed to xbox live.

edit: in regards to the controller, it was more of a question of "why bother with the touch capabilities?" if you're going to keep the same small controller design, why put this massive block in the middle that doesn't really do anything other than be an awkward addition that takes up design space?

[m.seven]

every new console gen there's a ton of cool bells and whistles,some useful some just eye candy.
idk,my ps3 does everything i'd care to be able to do with a game system for the time being.
guess i could just care less about having the latest thing on the market anymore..old age has brought a sense of practicality

as far as the controller having touch screen and move functions..meh.i bought all that move stuff and used it maybe 5 times and sold it

before they just had the start select and home buttons. rarely used select. Not sure where the home button is. Your finger hardly went to that area. So its not taking up space in terms of play. and design space? Who gives a fuck what the controller looks like? What is this, fucking apple where everything they do is fancy dancy looking and overpriced. Your eyes will be to your TV. I know im going to like its feel. Same as PS3. Looks a bit more comfortable. Function > form

It will be used like the back of the vita. that touch pad is used for minute parts of games but its a cool addition to change the play up.

cause there was limited games for it
but now its standard. So almost every game will take advantage of it. And you dont need any extra stuff or specialized games. That why you barely played it. Just focused on other games. And again its not going to be pure move stuff. It's just something extra for developers to play with

Might not see if now, but if your a metal gear solid fan, you know Kojima is one of the most creative minds out there. And I look forward to see what he come up with these

[m.seven]

wasn't for lack of games,just couldn't get into it.just not my thing i guess.
i've heard talk of integrating it to the dualshock 4 so didnt come as a surprise.

i'm sure i'll eventually get one,just not gonna be soon.can't justify spending another $400-600 on a new system when the ps3 works just fine.

Is it that fucking hard to talk about consoles without it turning into a debate? I've yet to see it happen.
