To PS4 or Not?

ges-sa.co.za have decided to take a look at the positives of why you need to get a PS4 console but also some worries of why you should be hesitant.

When Sony announced the PS4 it was really exciting as they really took time to listen to the Gamers and the Developers. The great thing is that they actually brought in the companies to work with them on the PS4 and the result looks like it will be a monster of a console.

"Will Hard drive space be enough"

Bare in mind the Hard drive is fully upgradable like the PS3. That was immensely easy to do on the PS3. I bought a 640GB Hard drive for like £50ish. It hasn't failed once. Also game saved on the cloud have been done with PSN Plus which everyone needs this time around

Yea pikmin, wonderful 101 really don't do it for me. Only interesting one releasing this year is Mario Wii U, and maybe Sonic.

Even though I want a Wii u they're gonna have to been the price drop below 300 for me to buy one.

Maybe I could snatch one up during a black Friday sale.

Aceman184668d ago

Yea the hard drive isn't an issue in my book. Got mine preordered just waiting for it to launch.

Fr0zeBud4669d ago

I agree with you on the Hard drive being able to change it but a lot of people are still scared to perform thing like that. Will be great if you can attach externals as well.

dcj05244668d ago

But it's easy as hell. -_- seriously its about as easy as putting a game in a ps2

Transporter474668d ago

Maybe not as easy since you need to unscrew a screw or two. lol

Omegasyde4668d ago

I agree, and i "betcha" Sony will offer some kind of cloud service or the ability to download digital titles on the same system (not 2 mind you), as many times as you want.

Personally, when I have too much data on HDD..it "forces" me to try and play some of games I forgot to get my fill and then delete it.

D3m0nX-ZA4669d ago

Must say if they do bring out a PS4 + PS Vita bundle I will def have a look at that. Hope the rumors are thru.

D3m0nX-ZA4669d ago

For HDD I would prefer a "add-on" rather that swopping it out myself.

Ripsta7th4668d ago

They should do it the way the 360 slim was done, it was easy to swap drives

Transporter474668d ago

its really easy to swap hdd trust me, i done it a couple of times, take cover off there is one screw undo it pull replace and put back in.

Aleithian4668d ago

Really, on the issue of hard drive space, who's to say Sony won't give PS+ subscribers a few hundred GBs space as part of their subscription? Would make sense. Obviously it's just me speculating, but I'd say the odds lean in its favor. It simply makes economic sense as a means to compete with Microsoft.

Omegasyde4668d ago

I dislike MS but I do realize they do have "some" good ideas. If the PS4 was the only console on the market, why would Sony feel the need to innovate?

mcstorm4668d ago

I agree with you. I have said this for a long time. We need 3 company's in the market to keep us excited and have innervation in the market. Just look at what Sony did with the ps3 when it 1st came to the market. If Microsoft was not there with the 360 do people think sony would of added some of the fetchers to it that were missing when it came out? Its the same with online gaming to even though the Dreamcast started it, It was the xbox and the 360 that have made it part of every day gaming. Its the same with some of the things Sony have done and also Nintendo to.

It is now the same with the phone market if you look at the choices we have in devices there has not really been that many we have had the Iphone and Android but now Windows Phone is starting to gain market share it will make Apple and Google start looking at there OS and we will see them move on again.

For me im not getting a PS4 in the 1st 12 months due to not having as much time as ive had in the past to play games and I already have a WiiU which has a great lineup of games the back end of this year plus my 3DS will have Pokémon X and I have decided to pre order a Xbox one as I am a big Forza fan and I want 4 the most out of all the games shown but that said the PS3 still has games I want for it in GT6 and I have still not picked up UC3 and TLOU so this is more than enough to keep me going for the next 12 months then I will look at getting a PS4 to complete my collection.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga21d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot20d 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…

HectixRose21d 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.

JEECE21d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername20d 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.

Soy21d ago

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

DarXyde21d 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.

Ashunderfire8620d 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.

Ashunderfire8620d ago (Edited 20d 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.

pwnmaster300021d 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.

solideagle21d 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

Relientk7721d ago

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