ANALYSIS: Sony gets its swagger back with PS4

It's about ps4 and how Sony is going in the right direction to get their momentum back, this article really paints the positive side of next gen without any fanboy bias.

Yes,i am buying it day 1 and going to the midnight release and can not wait for it!!!

Jaqen_Hghar4807d ago

A man will do this as well. A man has never camped out for anything gaming before, but a man will have his reserved and be there at midnight.

dc14807d ago

Reading Clash of Kings?... or just watched the second season of Game of Thrones?

Regardless, I'm with you. I will be hanging out at the local Gamestop with my cup of joe on launch night.
Pre-ordering it as soon as its available to do so. and taking off of work the following day.

Jaqen_Hghar4807d ago

a man has finished Storm of Swords. A man needed to get ahead of the show and plans to have A Dance with Dragons done by this Summer. A man likes it this way as the reverse order makes things boring to read. A man can watch a show that he knows what will happen because the spectacle is much better to see and a man loves the dialog the show adds.

I disagree, but only because I deplore what the word "swagger" has become.

Reborn4808d ago

I think they pretty much got it back midway through this gen. The way they've been launching products, Vita, phones etc. That all in some form, link into their next gen console. Whilst clearly not straying away from what gamers expect from Sony. Games, quality, and value for money.

I'm still interested to see what Microsoft got for next gen. But Sony have done well, and its good to see them continue on that path.

StrongMan4808d ago

Sony never lost it's swagger.

KwietStorm_BLM4807d ago

I don't think even you believe yourself with that one.

Ezz20134807d ago

you are right .."swagger" went to the WWE

WE THE PEOPLE.. WE THE PEOPLE... WE THE PEOPLE

Clarence4807d ago

I believe it. The PS3 came equipped right out the box.
Blu ray
wifi
internet
hdmi

Made M$ step their game up. Which is the reason that M$ is trying to turning its gaming console into and entertainment console.

PS3 7yrs 77m
360 8yrs 76m

Sony said slow and steady wins the race and that exactly what they are doing.

MysticStrummer4807d ago

Sony dominated two gens in a row, then launched PS3 a year after the competition at a much higher price and outsold them. If that doesn't give a company swagger I don't know what will.

MS gained market share this gen and started first in sales, but despite spending massive amounts of money on marketing and buying timed exclusives will end up in last place, which I'm sure wasn't their master plan. Market share doesn't carry over from gen to gen, so at the end of the year they start fresh.

Yes I'm ignoring Nintendo. The Wii was never in the same category of gaming devices as PS3 and 360. It's a casual gaming toy. There's nothing wrong with that, but trying to lump it in with PS3 and 360 is like entering a go kart into a NASCAR event. Unfortunately Nintendo got their NASCAR vehicle ready just in time for Sony and MS to switch to IndyCar.

While I'm at it, PC gaming is like building your own car from scratch. You can change out parts and make it technically better than the stock variety vehicles, but most people don't care to do it and the end result is still a vehicle that gets you from point A to point B, albeit with a custom paint job, tinted windows, fancy rims, and a horn that plays "Another One Bites The Dust".

@Clarence
PS3 didn't come with HDMI

tehnoob34807d ago (Edited 4807d ago )

@Dj7
Yes the Ps3 did come w/ HDMI on day one.

EDIT: I assume you mean port. It did not come with a cable.

My thoughts exactly. Sony has kept me incredibly entertained since PS1 and shows no signs of slowing down.

Oh_Yeah4807d ago

Sony doesn't need swagger when they've got class.

Lol, submitted by ICECREAM. Awesome user name. I know I'm off topic but that cracked me up.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot14d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose15d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE15d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername14d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy15d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde15d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8615d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8615d ago (Edited 15d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300015d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7715d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
