PlayStation 4 - General Discussion Thread

Once again you need to learn to read. 2.0 is coming this fall unless you wanted a specific date then were just getting into petty semantics here.
"This Fall" isn't good enough. Some of the features in 2.0 were supposed to come "At Launch".....want me to tell you how that ended up?

I laughed when the Ubisoft rep mentioned the "Keys to Kyrat" and said "Here's a trailer" and walked away. I wouldn't have wanted to be on stage either when a feature you previously led people to believe was full game access is revealed to be a trial.

 
Also find it hilarious people are saying Microsoft is using deception with Tomb Raider exclusivity. I'm honesty shocked and hugely disappointed at how Sony and Ubisoft chose to completely mislead people with that Far Cry 4 Co-op mode. At E3 people in this forum hyped that up as being a killer feature against Microsoft and I agreed because I preordered the game with that big bonus in mind and it's now clear they both planned it from the start and left information out on purpose.
The reason people are calling Microsoft deceptive is because Microsoft wants people to believe you can only play Tomb Raider on the Xbox One which may or may not be true and the fact that we don't know means just more confusion and bad PR surrounding Microsoft. I do agree that the FarCry 4 Key thing is kind of lame, but if 2 hours of online co-op convinces your buddy to buy a copy and play longer with you then it did it's job I suppose. Some people are saying SharePlay (awesome feature btw) nullifies the keys, but unless you can split screen co-op it really doesn't.


Not really sure how you can admit being biased and then wonder how I picked up on your bias through some postings. :|
Well because you've read this thread also where I have been biased.

They don't want you to believe anything. Hell some Marketing person from Square Enix specifically said it's a 100% Xbox Exclusive, not to mention their official blog and several other statements, it's only as confusing as you want to be making it to be.

Yeah me and one of my brothers had the whole thing planned out and excited to go. I'll likely cancel preorder now and maybe get it on PC instead. SharePlay sounds awesome but I need to see it in practice before getting excited.

The irony. Yet somehow insiders have said this is only timed.

this is crazy, up to 10 players for coop in far cry 4, even if you friends do not own the game for ps4

Nothing more than a trial. Given how massive Far Cry 4 will be you won't likely get a lot done and I wouldn't be surprised if the keys are limited to one per account (So you can't give one friend all 10).

Holy crap Sony Camera/Audio guys. The video is cutting out and I'm getting shooting audio sounds. It's storming here so I thought my computer just hit the fan.

 
im a ea sports insider and can tell you nba live will be best basketball game this year....... see it's the internet i can type anything
-sigh- you really are special and i didn't even need to be an insider to know that go figure.

Nearly 99% sure you did. Fortunately for you I didn't quote you before you hid your posts so lets not sound like it never happened.
Um, no dude, you are talking out of your ass. ive read the Xbox One thread today but have not made any posts in there at all. I don't hide my posts either. If you'd like we can get a mod to settle this. No idea why you are trying to pick a fight with me when i havent said shit about Microsoft or Xbox all day lol.

 
Finished watching. Those audio/video problems were a huge disappointment and I can't help but laugh since a tweet from Yoshida made it sound like that would be covered.

I'm going to watch Microsoft's now before I pass judgement but Bloodborne trailer and MGS 5 Gameplay were the only things that stood out to me. 

Side note would be is I felt Tearaway got a lot of screen time for just being a ported vita game.

 
are you also playing in the dark? lol
I had the window blinds closed but the sun was still up. So my living room wasn't pitch dark.

I still have Tearaway sealed for the Vita in my backlog but I think tearaway for PS4 is called "Tearaway Unfolded". I have heard it is sort of a sequel to the Vita version.

Not just a straight port but it will actually feature new areas. It looks beautiful on the ps4, 1080p/60fps. I plan on double dipping, it was a great game and it sucks that it sold so poorly on the Vita. Hopefully it can get new life on the ps4.

If it was 100% exclusive MS would've shouted it from the rooftops, instead we're getting the "Timed Holiday 2015" response over and over. A lot can change from here on out but I believe as of right now its timed.

Honestly it just doesn't make sense for SE to let it stay exclusive. They said the last one undersold for them and it still sold 3.4 million and was the best selling Tomb Raider to date. its now sold over 6 million with the port and Tomb Raider as a whole sold a lot better on PS3/PS4.

Unless Microsoft paid a shit ton to lock this up, its going to be timed.

 
tearaway looks awsome day one buy for me for sure. admit i never even heard of it on vita until they said it was a vita game .

i see no issue, it is basically the xbox one version of uncharted, if it is not a timed exclusive

 
Wow, lots of mud slinging going on in the thread. :lol:

I wanna get involved so badly but I'm going to exhibit some constraint as it will only end badly and aggravate me even more.

Good showing by Sony I thought, all of you may not be impressed but if UC4 or Bloodborne are the only games that interest you then maybe you shouldn't own or consider owning a PS4.  As someone who really enjoys all types of games I can honestly say that I'm excited about everything that is in the pipeline that was showed today.

I'm a bit sad over the news about Tomb Raider and I would really like to play Sunset Overdrive and a few of the other launch games... So maybe an XB1 will be in the cards for me sometime within the next year or so, unless further information is given regarding TR. We shall see.

I think most people are taking offense with the fact that MS is paying large publishers money to "buy" themselves exclusives. Yes, it seems like a smart thing to do if they have the money to throw around but it just comes across as an extremely douchey move.

I don't think people would be upset if MS were spending more time developing their own new IP/sequels rather than using what seems like half of their resources buying them from 3rd parties that would normally publish the games as multiplats.

Wow, I wonder how this thread is going to look like on Thursday when NPD numbers are out. It won't look pretty at all based on what is happening so far.

Nothing different but you know that there will be a few people who get over emotional about it.
At this point there really shouldnt be any shock unless the Xbox One really outsells the PS4 in a month.

Hell going by VGchartz (not reliable i know) the Wii U is now out selling the Xbox One (might just be globally though, prob not in the US)

I was just thinking if the wii u had crept up on the xbone. Smash hasnt even released yet

Given Square Enix's financial troubles I wanted be surprised if the conversation went something like "Hey we want this as an exclusive and will pay for development...YES YES IT'S EXCLUSIVE NOW."

Still seems like an odd decision given the fact as it's been pointed out it sold better on the PS4.

I think my alter ego would at least like my posts back?
So....Irony?

10+ Million PS4's is a massive milestone for not even being out a full year.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2008/may08/05-14360first10pr.aspx

Wonder if Microsoft's works bite them in the ass now?

“History has shown us that the first company to reach 10 million in console sales wins the generation battle. We are uniquely positioned to set a new benchmark for the industry.”

Although that is a quote from Don "Brainless" Mattrick.

 
yeah but in the end the PS3 has sold around the same amount as 360 and was out a year less so its not impossible for Xbox One to catch up in sales when its all said and done.

 
"I have no comeback so I will hurl insults."

<yawn>
Comeback? comeback for what. If you're to blind or stupid (your choice) to see that ps4 is way more than herp derp "Indiestation 4" then there nothing to talk about. Never mind the fact that indies made up only like 15 mins of the show.

Despite me calling it a port I'm excited to play the new Tearaway since I sold my Vita so I never played the original.

I'm not going to lie...it's kind of nice not having gotten to play a lot of PS3/PSV games and getting to play "Remastered" arguably much improved versions of some of their greatest games. I have no doubt we'll also see an Uncharted Collection before long.

Here's the Tearaway trailer if there's anybody wanting to rewatch it. Just bear in mind Youtube doesn't do 60FPS fwiw.

The Order 1886 looks pretty good gameplay wise, and amazing visually. Honesty I don't mind those black bars they kind of give it a "Cinematic" look at least to myself. Gameplay trailer is below for any watchers.

DayZ didn't get me excited. Honestly the game is still a pretty big mess on the PC, and Dean Hall not only took a REALLY long vacation after the early access sold so well but he later indicated that he was retiring and leaving the project to his studio to figure out. Now it sounds like he's back in it for the money again.

Overall I'm very excited for the systems future, and I think 2015 will be when it really shines. Holiday wise I think the only PS4 game I'll be getting is Drive Club, because Little Big Planet 3 is really a party game and I can't afford to buy 3 other controllers for my friends plus the game itself. Multiplatform wise Call of Duty will likely see better Xbox support, and I'll be getting FC4 on PC after the coop dud.

Biggest disappointment with the system as I've already said is system software and updates. I don't think the Sony Engineer's are working hard enough to get the important features out the door.
