Sony PS4

[PepeLePew]

Any one else excited? I'm a big PS fan. I think the PS3 is the best bit of home tech ever. I use mine mainly for movies. One in the living room, one in the bedroom. Both linked to my PC via the wifi network I can watch my movie collection by streaming or downloading. BBCi player, itv and C4 player, netflix etc etc all available plus more. Ditto my music and photo collections. Built in blu ray player, constant updates, when I bought it 3D was in its infancy. One day I got an update and boom, I had a 3D DVD player.

 

That's not even mentioning games. I was a big COD fan but hardly ever play games now. Watch Dogs due for release on the PS4 looks interesting though.

 

If the PS4 is half as good as promised we are in for a treat.

Will be interesting to see the true power of it, sadly everything that has been shown so far is all run off high end PC's.

There are 2 groups when it comes gaming consoles.

Playstation guys or Xbox guys.

 

I'm in the Xbox camp myself...then again I don't play games much any more but I am looking forward to The Walking Dead game to finally gettin released in Australia...stupid ratings guys slowing down the release in Australia!

im more excited about all the thai girls im going to shag in 2015 than the release of this 

 

i still haven't unlocked my maps on GTA San Andreas on the PS2.

 

sorry pepe ill stop with my thread fuck now

 

although if there is a good UFC game i might buy one just for that

I have every ps console they came out with so far . I liked them when I was younger

 

I'm not sure if I am going to get a ps4 . Just no time for games anymore .

 

Maybe maybe not

Deuces - As far as I know the PS4 will be built with high end PC architecture inc 8Gbs of DDR5 ram so the previews should port over pretty much exactly. Their isn't a console to touch it and no way you could spec a decent PC for the cost of a console either. Best of both?

 

Nak - Oh there are lots of things I'm 'more' excited about, but the PS4 is the bit of tech that is making me rub my hands in anticipation at the moment. Closely followed by 4k!

 

999 - Xbox booo hisss 55. Hate them. No Blu Ray as standard, have to pay for online access! Will be interesting to see what MS bring out in competition though.

I'm excited as well.

 

I've been gaming since the late 70's so no reason why I should stop now.

 

I have a PS3 and am looking forward to the PS4. No rush though, I'm waiting for GTA V later this year.

 

To me it's always about the latest and most powerful gaming system.

 

Poor Nintendo, the Wii U was dead on arrival, probably the death knell of the once great gaming company.

PS4 is expensive, I think that i prefer a few more ST in my next trip than a sony ps4 

[PepeLePew]

I'm hoping to get both!

I hope it is a good as what they were showing but I doubt it unless they were not straining the PC they used.

 

It has a cpu+gpu(APU) combo that is used in laptops these days, It doesn't match my 3 yr old CPU  and 2 Year old GPU. So its already outdated on that front, before a console even hit stores its 6 months old in tech and goes down faster every 3 months. So yea on the day its released I could probably build a computer for 500 bucks that has the same stats.

 

Downside of PC's these days is developers port from ps and xbox to PC and they just plain suck because PC is more complicated not just push 8 buttons.

 

Some of the new games they are showing are going to be great looking forward to this coming out for sure.

For those people who are saying they are Xbox fans in the endless Xbox vs PS debate... The Creative Director at Microsoft Game Studios posted a few interesting tweets today that add some sort of weight to the omnipresent rumours about the new Xbox requiring an internet connection at all times in order to run an app or play a game.

 

 

I can't imagine they'd be stupid enough to make it online only and lose sales in all the areas with ropey internet service, on the flip-side perhaps they feel they will make those loses back in their cut of games sales by forcing you into terrible DRM.

 

edit: posted the first tweet pic twice by mistake

My PS3 just died and I had to buy a new one so not too happy with them at the moment. The launch systems always have the most problems so better to wait.

[MrLek]

Playstation v xbox i have never been remotely interested but my son is addicted to gaming and in his words. Microsoft can go fuck themselves Dad. If i buy a console and a game i shouldn't have to pay extra to use them. 

 

He is pretty excited about the ps4 and already has hit me up for it as a christmas present. 

[Digsy]

lol PS is better than xbox because it has bluray and free internetz!!!!11111

 

I thought both where games consoles rather than devices to watch movies on. 

 

As for free internet, you can get xbox live for as cheap as £27 fs whats that like £0,52 a week lol 

 

Xbox £0.52 per week

20 pack fags £8?

1 pint £3?

 

Or to make it more simpler 1 barfine of 300bt is about £6, that's roughly 6 weeks of xbox live payments. 5 Barfines is basically how much it costs for xbox live lol

 

Then you have the fact that xbox live has never been hacked once never mind twice  like playstation as.

 

The rumours about "always online" are exactly that, microsoft has already came out and rubbished them. Yes they probably are looking into the idea but as no official details have been released it can hardly be picked up as fact. Judging by the reaction, it'll probably be a non starter anyway.
