Title: Is anyone still buying a PS4/Xbone this year?
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on August 20, 2013, 04:57:56 PM
Or is everyone gaming on PC then picking one up in one or two years?

So far next gen really looks weak exclusive wise, basically no reason to get any of them.

I have about 8 long boxes of comics left in storage. I've sold all my Golden/Silver Age comics off over the years, so this is all more recent (90s through 2004, when I quit collecting) stuff I didn't really think was worth the hassle of piecing off. The other day when I told a collector friend of mine some of the titles I had, he said I could get a decent bit of money putting together bundles on ebay, and offered to sell them for me if I gave him a cut. So if that stuff pays for a PS4 and a game or two, I'll get one. I definitely can't afford (and wouldn't pay for even if I could) either system out of pocket.

I tend to treat my hobbies like this:

Going back and forth on it.  I want a PS4 for Infamous in early 2014.  If I get it a few months early, I can mess with PS Plus games and it'll be my new blu-ray player.  But I don't want or need it this year.

I mean the system sellers that so many people seem to think will be there.

Both have plenty of games - games that I have to get on PS4 and not on pc due to not wanting to double dip because my of my son and daughter.

Nope, no real interest with any of the announced launch games. Got enough of a backlog from this gen to deal with before I start worrying about next gen... plus I really need a new car and my old employer is trying to fuck me out of some money (long story) so money is tight. And time is too, my new job is gonna apparently go in crunch mode come the holiday season to get their product out on the marketplace.

I am definitely not buying any of the next gen at launch.  I hate the fact that both the ps4 and xb1 are really weak with xb1 being weaker.  I am also concerned that the GDDR5 RAM in the ps4 would be a detriment for MMO's and RPG's as we havent seen any being announced or the ps4 except capcoms MMO which looks mediocre graphically.

If I get one at launch it will probably be Xbone since I have a group of friends I play Forza with regularly. But probably will sit out both for now, would prefer to get a Vita instead if I was buying a new console.

But for a few hundred dollars I think a 27" Korean 120hz monitor for my PC would be a better choice.

The doubt thread of PC gaming losing its appeal #1 

At the light of the next launch of two next-gen console and considering that basically every important indie game is now heading towards PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, don't you think that PC gaming suffered quite an hard hit in terms of appeal?

 Diablo is coming to PC too, basically every AAA title is available on consoles and so on.

 Also, lots and lots of people which played on PC with casual games such as The Sims has migrated towards mobile platforms.

 I see PC gaming in a much worst position in comparison to - let's say - a year or two ago.

 Your thoughts?

I'm still getting a PS4, but only because it's already paid for with trade-in credit.  Not excited for it in the slightest, but hey!  Maybe one of the launch games will surprise me. 

Current-gen/PC is where it's at.

Walk me through this logic.

Well GDDR5 RAM is high latency fast speed because of memory controllers, it is the memory controller that makes the definition from GDDR5 and DDR3.  It is good for graphics because latency makes no difference to it, but no one ever uses it for CPU RAM because of the high latency.  Fun fact the G in GDDR5 stands for Graphics.  I go no idea exactly how much it would affect CPU performance but it would affect CPU performance.  Highly complex programs like those found in MMO's and RPG's would be affected by CPU latency from the RAM.  Could possibly cause a lot of dips in performance in those types of games.  And before anyone brings up that there is no difference between GDDR5 and DDR3 Memory and that Sony could have custom memory controllers, then it would cease to be GDDR5 memory and be custom DDR3 memory.

Also I suck less in FPS on consoles so I would get more fun out of competitive shooters   :-[

I'll probably get Xbone thanks to DEAD RISING 3 and PEGGLE 2

Also because I am a disgusting Microsoft fanboy

Typical. You also only had a gamecube instead of a PS2 right? :holeup  :heh

I will see how much I get trading in all my xbox wares once I'm done with them, I imaigne will be enough for a PS4 and a game or two. Though I stupidly bought a 12 month live subscription when drunk a few weeks back... So I'll likely be holding onto it for a while and there's a lot I'm yet to play

My PS2 broke so I bought the superior console. The highs on the Cube piss all over PS2:

- Baten Kaitos games are better than any JRPG on PS2
- F-Zero GX is better than any racer on PS2
- Definitive version of Killer 7
- Had RE4 first and superior version

Beside the point... I doubt on a redo you would ever take that console on its own. It will be the same for Xbone. It will be dead outside of the States in months if not dead in the States as well. PS4 is cheaper, no region locking, no kinect requirement, better hardware, cheaper, japanese games (xbone isn't even getting a japanese release initially) the rest is up in the air. I have no love for Sony 1st party, and the self published indie stuff is whatever, but still nice as an alternative to Steam. Will MS pay for a Platinum game exclusive? Maybe. Will it be a token effort? yup, and I imagine we'll hear of a couple projects like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_Megami_Tensei:_NINE

MS is counting on vendor lock in (old whores addicted to the cheevs), families who dig kinect and patriotic americans. Nobody else should be interested

I'm going to be picking up a PS4 at launch because I don't want to invest money into a PC.  I've got a laptop that meets all of my internet needs just fine.  Plus, I work at Gamestop, so I get a discount on everything but brand-new consoles.  And I can check out any game I want to for free and play it for up to four days. 

It is honestly more cost effective for me to buy a console.  Plus, I want to BF4 with my friends and most of them are migrating to PS4.

Well, between my friend selling some stuff for me on ebay over the weekend, and trading in a PSP Go and Memcard with a +50% coupon at Gamestop (they gave me more for the card than the system :lol), I am already $187 closer to getting this thing. Besides the comics I've got a 20" monitor to sell, and a handful of oddball comics-related stuff (artwork), so I'm thinking within a month I'll have enough for the PS4 and a game. I'll probably end up in the second or third wave of release. I'm actually getting a little excited. Nothing like that new console smell!

In the US it might be difficult. I don't know how fast they can push out a second shipment. Why don't you put down a pre-order on Amazon or any other place that doesn't force you to pay in advance? (Unless you have store credit somewhere.)

With Sony's Gakai stuff not happening anywhere until 2014, and Europe being later than NA, it wouldn't surprise me if game streaming from profiles drops with related issues. I'm curious to see how many promises Sony actually deliver on when day one comes, and how much was vapour - it wouldn't surprise me one iota if we were in an age of pre-baking / target-rendering OS level shit now.

Xbone releasing in the UK a week earlier than PS4 isn't much of an advantage for them here, but it was the right move if they want to do well here. Should be interesting to see the marketing assaults from both of them in a couple of months time.

We'll see.

I think they'll come out of the gates behind, purely because of the price alone, but as things settle into non-holiday sales - I could easily see Xbone being considered better value in some quarters. Depends if things like the pass-through DVR and other live features are received well and if consumers actually take the Kinect and FIFA14/Forza things into consideration.

Preorders on the PS4 are completely cut off until launch, according to what I have heard.  Xbone is (or was yesterday) taking preorders again at GS, probably for the last time as well.

HOWEVER, you might have luck getting a PS4 on launch night if you can get to a store in a smaller town.  My boss came back from conference last week and he's pretty convinced that we may have a couple extras that night.

I think it's a good commercial.  If the Xbone works as seamlessly as it does in that commercial, that could be a pretty good selling point for the NFL fegs.  Also football fegs drop all kinds of crazy money on stupid shit so it wouldn't be too unreasonable for them to spend $500 to talk shit to someone online.

By time the xbone comes out, the NFL season will be over half over. I'm pretty sure that you don't get live games on the xbone either. So they are advertising people watching HIGHLIGHTS of a game already over and talking trash about it. :heh

though to be fair he can import (which is more likely not out of the realm of possibility for someone like DC) since they are apparently region free

Newp, neither console is worth $400 to me at the moment. I'm going to wait until there is a price drop and a decent library as it's still too early to know how each console will differ as far as performance and exclusives.

The XB1 seems like it'll have better exclusives but what does it have over the PS4 as far as online infrastructure, hardware, or the actual OS if you don't care about recording gameplay or anything involving kinect?

I will miss not playing Battlefield 4 but obviously BF5 is going to be the one that really pushes the next-gen consoles and it'll be out soon enough. The game that will definitely make me pull the trigger will be Mirrors Edge 2.

Uplay, Ubisoft's digital platform, has been confirmed for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Uplay will be available on all the titles in Ubisoft's next-generation lineup, which includes Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, The Crew, The Division and Watch Dogs.

Also set for next-gen consoles are the recently announced Child of Light, Valiant Hearts and Trials Fusion.

Ubisoft said users will benefit from Uplay services and features using one unique profile when the PS4 and Xbox One go on sale this November.

We imagine Uplay on next-gen consoles will work similarly to how it does on current-gen consoles. On current-gen, Ubisoft games include an option in their main menus that, when selected, boots the Uplay application. This takes you out of the game, displaying a feed of social events and showing what you and your friends have done in-game, alongside the Uplay points you've been awarded. You can spend these Uplay points on in-game items, for example.

:oreilly

Sure you can play that Ubisoft game offline, just register and log into your ubisoft account first so they can verify ownership. :P

Uplay has been doing this for years already. Splinter Cell Conviction came out in 2010 and has all the Uplay app stuff.

I'm gonna be lining up at midnight for an Xbone I've decided. Someone needs to take one for the team

No ubi games next gen for me

Playstation Network also got hacked a few years ago. Does that mean you're getting a Xbox One instead?

Keep unique passwords for every site/service and a hack isn't such a big deal.

Ubisoft is far from my favorite publisher, but I'm looking forward to Child of Light, Might & Magic X: Legacy, Tom Clancy's The Division, Valiant Hearts: The Great War and the next Anno or Settlers game by BlueByte.

uhhh, sure you could.  buy an xbox one.

And play online with who? Americans? I'd rather play with my friends.

Xbox is dead here mate, you've seen the sales numbers in continental Europe. Everyone I know is getting a PS4 when/if they go to next gen. Except these two guys at work.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on September 11, 2013, 03:18:59 AM
The most important thing is to be able to play with my friends.

They will have PS4's.

Hence Xbox is not really an option.

We want to play Fifa, not Ass Creed.

Edit: I'm avoiding it because I can without being too bummed about what Im missing. Just how I didnt use Origin at all until the Humble Bundle.
