So...

Anyone think that Ps4 is worth getting yet?

I'm not overly impressed so far, just seems like another console with high-graphics and stuff.

Also, how come blizzard wants to release Diablo 3 for ps3 and 4? Just feels... wrong.

[oooog]

I was curious that this topic never made rounds around the forum.  I suppose that in itself is a testament to the opinions of the masses.

I am impressed by the potential, but I've said the same thing about almost all of the systems as of late.  The Nintendo 3DS was weak to start, but it is ever at my side these days, whereas the Vita sits collecting dust once more after conquering Persona 4.  All in all I do believe this is another case of buying the system halfway through it's lifespan.  While there is great potential, there is nobody taking advantage of what's there.

Now let's explore what actually happened with the presentation.  No price point was given, but I think we can all safely assume that $250 would be ideal, $299 is what people hope to have at least, $350 is what will probably be available for a standard issue one, and somewhere around $450 is where the actually useful bundle will be (i.e. console + controllers + game - see Wii U Bundle.)  As for the presenters, the only things that caught my interest were Watch Dogs, as it did with E3 last year, and Deep Down, rumored Dragon's Dogma 2.  Watch Dogs will more than likely be out I'm calling halfway through 2014, whereas Deep Down will more than likely be a 2015 launch, if it launches at all as is.  Perhaps it was a mere engine demonstration, who knows.

So there we have a powerful system available that Sony will inevitably botch at launch and than miraculously salvage it 2 or 3 years down it's life to become acceptable.  I love my PS3, but I only got it December of 2011, and I expect much the same delay for the PS4.  You know, unless they announce something along the lines of Shin Megami Tensei anything, Shadow of the Colossus 2 (or even the Last Guardian at this point), Kingdom Hearts 3, or a Naughty Dog reboot of Crash Bandicoot.  That's a tall order of empty promises and broken dreams though.

Looks like ****. Slightly better graphics, whoo. Change from ps2 to ps3 was far more noticeable.

Graphics can only get SO much better.  Graphics have never been that important to me so yeah haha.

[Felix-0]

More graphics =/= gaems.

This.
I'll be impressed when they can make console gaming affordable.

Well it could be worth getting if they are arsed to make it backwards compatible which the PS3 wasn't in Europe.

Just feels kinda odd that Square shows their Lightning returns project for the ps3, release some new pictures of the FFX remaster and are still silently working on FFXIII VS while Sony is busting out a new console.

[fruckert]

Nah.

[daoman89]

I've said this plenty of times before.  THEY DON'T NEED TO REMAKE FINAL FANTASY X!!!!!  MY GOD IF YOU'RE GONNA REMAKE ONE, MAKE IT... IDK.... SEVEN!?!?!?!?

I am a big fan of the Gamepad Nintendo has for the Wii U.  When I play zombie you, it makes this easy to organize and it's fun to use.  Plus aiming with it when using a sniper or something feels really well too.  But yea, give the ps4 a few years to put on some good games.

[Meiscool]

Personally, only remakes I would buy would be X or IX.

OR IF THEY REMADE FF1 AGAIN OMG THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME.

[Archem]

ESPECIALLY IF THEY BUNDLED IT WITH FF2 GUYS.

[daoman89]

BUT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY NOT TWICE!

[Moosetroop11]

BWAAAAA

I don't care about the PS4 right now. I can only think of one console at once and I still haven't got my 3DS yet.  But in all likelihood I won't get one when it comes out. I do have a job now though, so I guess if Fianl fantasy is exclusive when the time comes or somethign ridiculous...?

So far, it looks like I'll wait for a price drop. Pretty visuals, but how much of a difference will the extra power make on gameplay? The difference between the console generations has always been more than just graphics, after all. If this jump can't make a difference other than looking about as good as a high-end PC title, I'm not sure how much it will be worth. I only recently got a PS3, so I'm not too excited to make a jump to the next one yet, especially since they're abandoning backwards compatibility again.

The current generation's obsession with social networking is irking me, as well.
I mean, seriously, a dedicated "share" button on the controller?
Just...no. Not necessary. Focus on games, if I want a machine that can do all I'll buy a ****ing computer.
