Well, how about this:

I'm buying it because I wanted it, and I came up with the money. Why do I need an excuse? I don't, and I also don't feel the need to justify it to any cockslap on the internet giving me shit, either. Thing is, I can click and read that "what did you buy?" thread just as well as anyone else, so I've seen with my own two eyes what kind of absolute trash everyone on this board throws money at on a weekly basis. Not a single goddamned person here  has aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany room to talk.
Well yeah, everyone here has regretted purchases before

do you need a preexisting twitch account?

I read that, for now, you can only upload video to facebook and twitch streams aren't archived and whatever happened to ustream?

You will need a Twitch account to stream to Twitch. I assume you haven't heard anything about UStream because lol ustream.

And I've read it doesnt archive the Twitch streams automatically... which I don't understand. I don't get how it would be any different from any regular stream via Twitch and my Twitch streams archive.

Gotta say, the reactions to this launch really strike me as forced nostalgia. These day one purchase folks can't seem to articulate why they need the console DAY ONE. The launch games suck, the consoles are expensive, there really aren't any great games on the horizon until March/April 2014...so what's the rush other than re-creating past memories.

The PS4 fanboys especially. There are no games. Congrats, the PS4 is better than arguably the most anti-consumer console of all time, but is that truly worth celebrating as if it comes with free healthcare and a one month mortgage payment?

Are there really no games?  Exclusives?  Sure there isn't much.  But if you're going to get a 3rd party game there's plenty to play for a while.  Between AC4's 30 hour+ single player, hopefully a good NFS campaign, BF4's MP, NBA2K14 Career mode and online, Resogun, Contrast (no reviews on this one yet?  At least it's free), that's some decent gaming.

I mean for a normal person who plays an hour or two of games a day, there's enough games to last for at least a month or two. 


Compared to most launches (PS3, 3DS, PSP) it actually seems to defy the "no games" meme.


:what

PSP had one of the best launches ever. Lumines, Metal Gear Acid, Ridge Racers, Wipeout Pure, Hot Shots Golf, Mercury.

:what

The only system I think has a better launch lineup is Dreamcast.

Too bad the launch PSP hardware had lots of problems with stuck pixels.  I gave up after exchanging two of them and waited almost two years before buying it again.

A good reason for people to just let next gen cool off a bit is psp vs ds. Two systems launching around the same time (at least in Japan). One had an amazing launch (psp) and the other had a remake of an almost 10 year old game at that point. One had issues with software for most people for a few years despite its amazing software launch, the other went on to become one of the greatest and varied software lineups of all time.

Wait a year or something, then choose.

That said I've already chosen. :teehee

I think even the Wii U had a better launch lineup than either the PS4 and Xbone.  Sure, most of the games were ports but if you were a Nintard who only played games on Nintendo systems, it was a pretty good deal.

Having paid attention to console launches since the 32/64 bit era, this generation's launch lineup is the worst by far.

Also the PSP launch was fucking amazing.

It's definitely the worst launch I've witnessed as a gamer. The only game that tickles my fun bone is Crimson Dragon. Sucks because I think Drive Club looks pretty rad if you're a liker of PGR.

It's definitely the worst launch I've witnessed as a gamer. The only game that tickles my fun bone is Crimson Dragon.

How is it worse than the PS3?  This was the US launch list:

Title   Publisher
Call of Duty 3   Activision
Genji: Days of the Blade   Sony Computer Entertainment
Madden NFL 07   EA Sports
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance   Activision
Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire   Namco Bandai
NBA 07   Sony Computer Entertainment
NBA 2K7   2K Sports
Need for Speed: Carbon   Electronic Arts
NHL 2K7   2K Sports
Resistance: Fall of Man   Sony Computer Entertainment
Ridge Racer 7   Namco Bandai
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07   EA Sports
Tony Hawk's Project 8   Activision
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom   Sony Online Entertainment


Genji was total shit on par with the Knack reviews.  Tony Hawk 8 ran at like 15fps.  The Gundam game ran at half that framerate.  The only good games were Resistance (an ok FPS) and RR7 (director's cut of RR6 from the year before repackaged).  Even Hot Shots Golf 5 came months after launch.



Also this is one of the first times that the US launch of a system has come way before the JPN launch.  So those Ridge Racers, Gundams and Genjis aren't there to help cushion the western software.  If PS4 launched at the same time as Japan you'd also have Yakuza Isshin and Dynasty Warriors + whatever else gets announced for the JPN launch.  They probably should've waited until their Japan software & Infamous & Driveclub was ready, but oh well.  You can play some stuff now and then some in Feb.

Out of the current ps4 lineup, I am not interested in ANY of the retail titles. Only dd interests me. Drive Club is pushed back, Infamous is 2014. At least with ps3, I'd like to play Ridge Racer 7. That said, ps4 does have an edge and that's in the dd titles.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Isshin looks badass btw. SHINSEN GUMI.

I should still be able to get at least $400 for each of them when 800 comes around

For all its flaws, Resistance was a more interesting launch title than Killzone 4. 

Also, sfags getting hyped up about the windows physics in Resistance was  :neogaf

the GTX 800 series is supposed to be out in Q1 2014 so I would wager probably around mid-spring. I'm holding out for that because the Maxwell series is supposed to be the huge leap.

Yeah, Maxwell is supposed to be a brand new architecture

Drivers might be wonky for a few months though

I still think it's gonna come out closer to summer than spring.  Nvidia doesn't usually release such a high priced refresh if they were launching another product so quickly

Well, about to head out.  Hope it really does go smoothly and my stuff doesn't get jacked on the way out- they picked the absolute worst entrance in the area (dark, shady place near the dumpsters) to leave open for people!

:heh

bork, what games?

Cod Ghosts, Killzone, and Injustice at retail.  Not sure what I'm gonna download yet.  Frankly I'm more interested in messing around with the Asus T100 I got earlier tonight than anything on the PS4.

Well, since PSN is getting hammered and I can't actually DO anything with the system, might as well upload some pics. 

This was paused on the TV when I got home.   :lol


Everything I got for launch.


The PS4 itself is smaller than I expected it to be and is surprisingly very light. 


As for the Gamestop launch, it was pretty uneventful.  There were two weird European dudes laughing at something and trying to take pictures of everyone, but besides them there was only one crazy fanboy type raving about how amazing this was going to be and how remote play was going to be "amazing, son, amazing- imma play my PS4 all over town!  They got that VITA TV in Japan man it must cost like crazy money but yo imma cop it!"  Everyone else was pretty quiet.  One of the clerks was pretty enthusiastic about everything and was asking people what games they got and what they were going to do.  I think I made him feel bad when I responded with "go home, update the system, and go to sleep."

Man, there were some skeevy-looking motherfuckers at Wal-Mart. I mean, no more than usual, but it is unusual to see them all clustered together in a flock like that.  They had zipper bags and caribiner straps as some kind of launch bonus. The lady kept saying "I'm not gonna have enough of these to hand out!" but no one she tried to give them to wanted them :lol

They should have put God of War Ascension, Last of Us, Beyond and GT6 on PS4 re-rendered at 1080p/60fps with some additional effects if they cared about having amazing games at launch.

But from a business standpoint they probably saw that they could release anything at launch and still sell out the system and meanwhile releasing those games on PS3 would bring in $$$ with large userbase.  So, likely makes sense from business perspective even though it's worse for gamers.

Seeing the stuff about NFS struggling to keep 30fps on both systems and frame drops in other games and Infamous aiming for locked 30fps is a little depressing.

Last gen the made the systems just barely powerful enough to do 720p/30fps resulting in games struggling to hit that mark and 600p (CoD), 24fps (Castlevania), and lack of AA and other issues.  This gen it seems like they made the systems just barely powerful enough to do 1080p/30fps resulting in games struggling to hit that mark and we'll probably see a lot of 900p, 24fps, and lack of AA and other issues.


During the X360/PS3 gen, I was sort of hoping we'd hit a power wall next-gen where we have more power than the games really need at 1080p and that games will not struggle to do 1080p/60fps.  Now I'm hoping that PS5/Xbone2 will have enough power to do 1080p/60fps no problem in 5-7 years.  But then who knows, maybe they'll be silly and 4k TVs will be everywhere and suddenly the games will be trying to do 4k resolution/30fps and struggling to hit that mark and see a lot of games at 2k and 24fps.  I kind of wish we'd stop pushing the resolution and just make damn systems powerful enough to render what devs want them to render.


But who knows, maybe once they get used to the PS4/Xbone, games will all be running 1080/locked 30fps with 4x AA no problem.  Or maybe start doing 1080p/60fps.  That would be nice.

Closed box is the problem,not hardware power.Even if consoles had multiple titans you would still see 30fps.There are tons of CG movie techniques waiting to be exploited in real time.But it will take years for them to be implemented into game engines.

One more thing,I bet that tons of launch games were actually developed on PCs(even exclusives) and then shoehorned into consoles.

Quick development without worrying about incomplete OS/drivers.Time is money...

Yeah most devs will target 30 fps because it looks prettier.

We have to rely on devs like Platinum to deliver 60 fps.

In the end it looks like I'm going to do some BJJ at the gym, get a take & bake pizza, go home, then cook the shit out of it adding sausage, and drink red wine and play Saints Row 4 on my PC via living room TV and comfy couch :rock

sounds good

Too bad my oven is broken.  My toaster oven is pretty nice but way too small.
