I never got the hype for this game.

Killzone/Knack/BF4/Warframe will be the launch PS4 games I'll be playing until Infamous. Might pick up Ass Creed 4 for cheap.

i heard it's just the arcade mode? good luck getting a girlfriend without being able to show off your fuel mixture skills.

i actually set my dad up with this on my computer when he was around in the summer, he was down to the point that he even bought himself a piece of shit $15 joystick which didn't work. now he's talking about getting a new computer.

it's a luke/vader thing. when i was a kid he was all about flight sims, tie fighter and rollercoaster tycoon. then he got old and became a bloated IAP whale, stabbing at his ipad with joyless abandon. he lost a few pounds recently so i'm hoping to use his self improvement kick to turn him back from the dark side.

Well, just BF4 for me, then. I keep reading and hearing good things about that pirate AssCreed, but I don't want to break my tradition of buying those games at $15 or less before I never play them.

it makes sense to value them at about the same price as a cinema ticket.

Yep. I learned my lesson from Ass Creed 3. The more I saw of Watch Dogs the more I realized that Ubisoft hasn't really changed its tired ass formula for sandbox games.

Yeah same here -- traded in a buncha stuff at Gamestop when they were doing that crazy summer deal (I traded in my 360 for $280 which was insane!) so no regrets, although that launch lineup is looking pretty damn dry.

Quote

The Paris based publisher initially expected to make $1.94 billion by the end of the fiscal year in April 2014, but now believes that figure will arrive at $1.38 billion. This means that both delays have pulled revenue expectations by $560 million.

Further dismay was triggered among investors when the corporation issued a warning that it no longer believes it will be profitable this financial year. It previously expected a 12-month profit of about $236 million, and on Tuesday told investors it will actually lose about $88 million.

For real though, what's there to play at launch for either console? I haven't been paying attention. Don't say Killzone because I will laugh at you

MCD · « **Reply #29 on:** October 15, 2013, 01:41:08 PM »

Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, Flopza 5, Call of Duty Ghost, BF4, AC4 and Lyse.

Plus Free Cloud servers for all.

cool breeze · « **Reply #30 on:** October 15, 2013, 01:41:17 PM »

ps4: resogun, driveclub (if it's as PGR as people claim)
xbox one: dead rising 3, crimson dragon (panzer dragoon)

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #31 on:** October 15, 2013, 01:42:02 PM »

Apparently they're trying to get the PS4 version scaled to 1080p but it's taking longer than anticipated.

Raban · « **Reply #32 on:** October 15, 2013, 01:42:09 PM »

Xbox One has Dead Rising 3, Crimson Dragon, Forza 5, Killer Instinct, LocoCycle... those are basically the big exclusives.

PS4 has DriveClub, Knack, Killzone and a bunch of indie games that have been available on other consoles for quite a while.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #33 on:** October 15, 2013, 01:44:15 PM »

Looks like cancelling my PS4 pre-order was the right decision.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #34 on:** October 15, 2013, 01:44:58 PM »

If you're buying a console at launch you should expect it to be pretty light.

Gotta get dat Resogun tho

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #35 on:** October 15, 2013, 01:46:34 PM »

Honestly, I can only play one or two games at a time so huge launch lineups don't really mean a lot to me, but that is one of the two games I was getting

Himu · « **Reply #36 on:** October 15, 2013, 01:47:56 PM »

PS4 got dat Drive Club, Resogun, and Rime.

This is the only reason I am even remotely interested in the xbox 1. I would love to support the man behind Panzer Dragoon Orta and Phantom Dust but I just can't justify spending $535 to have the privelage of buying one game.

I don't see what the difference is, really. They ain't coming off the price in 6 months, or even a year from now. You can pay your $400 now, and play a few games over the next few months until the library builds up, or you can pay your $400 next Fall and also have to come up with the money for several games on top of that.

There's always the possibility of future bundles or other deals. I mean, if I had slightly more self-control, I would've saved ~$100 on my Wii U purchase between the $50 price drop and Wind Waker pack in. Although that's a case where the system had nothing for 10 months following launch. But ultimately I agree (unless you're planning on buying both consoles at launch).

That's another non-issue. We have 2 or 3 years warranty on electronics.

Edit: I just read up on the law and apparently we have a 1 year regular warranty, plus another law protecting against manufacturing issues for the first 3 years.

Mupepe · « **Reply #56 on:** October 15, 2013, 04:49:24 PM »

Does Sam's Club still honor lifetime guarantees on consoles? I remember with the RROD fiasco people saying that thanks to having a sams club membership they could just go exchange it when it broke.

To soften the blow of this delay Ubisoft has just announced Watch Frogs. A stunning new PS mini title where you have to collect as many gold watches as you can for these frogs who seem to go craaazy over them!

there's something about eel's longing to make that new console feeling happen again that suspends any desire i have to recommend rational thinking.

it's like watching a guy wrap his own presents and then get up in the middle of the night to pour away the milk and eat half the carrot just so christmas morning is just like he always remembered.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #59 on:** October 16, 2013, 11:31:17 AM »

Nah, it's just a new tech toy to me, I'd get the same little rush opening any piece of electronics. I wouldn't even be getting one if I'd had to lay out money from my pocket. I have no real...longing? I just like new sparkly shit that makes noise, and I especially like it when I can weasel up some way of getting it without spending f'real money, like trading in stuff or selling shit on ebay.
