New Vs Old Generation Consoles

It been almost a year since the new generation of Consoles (PS4 and Xbox One) was released to the public. They promised as everything we did not had before and even more… but did they deliver? Did you stop playing with your oldest consoles? Did you regret replacing them?Well we will try to answer all these questions.

I enjoyed the ps3/360 Gen better so far

NukaCola4236d ago

I guess we all have tho. There is a massive span of games and this gens systems only have a handful within its first short year.

TheWackyMan4236d ago

Cool, you have 6+ years of the console gen ahead of you, so let's wait and see if your opinion changes.

DualWielding4236d ago

of course you did, it always take time for a new generation to pick up..... but it amazes me how people seem to forgot that as bad as the start of this generation has been it was still much better than the start of the previous one.......

I remember when I played Resistance: Fall of Man for the first time, I absolutely loved that game, and it felt like a fresh experience. I was really impressed with Motorstorm also. This generation I just haven't seen anything that has wowed me so far, nothing feels new.

Bloodborne might be the first 'must have' game for the PS4, and I hope Uncharted turns out alright, but I'm worried about how they're going to use DLC with this installment, and I'm also worried about a potential massive amount of micro-transactions that we will see, based on Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us.

StrawberryDiesel4204235d ago

Dead Rising 3, TitanFall and Ryse have all wowed me. The amount of zombies on screen in Dead Rising 3 is insane, TitanFall is very fresh and fun and Ryse felt like Gladiator the game with beautiful visuals. Looking forward to being blown away by Sunset Overdrive next. Bloodborne and The Order in February.

I'm thinking about getting a gaming PC and was wondering if anyone know of a good website that teaches you how to build one for cheap. Like 600$?

smoothdude4236d ago

http://pcpartpicker.com/ this is a good site for building and pricing builds.

smoothdude4236d ago

Those are good builds. You shouldn't have problems playing games using those! Happy PC gaming!

Killzoner994236d ago

You'd be spending a lot less if you got a PS4 and the exclusives can't be beat. For $600 you'd get more bang for your buck with the PS4 and you wouldn't be sacrificing on horsepower . The PS4 is basically a souped up PC rig.

smoothdude4234d ago

Games are cheaper on PC. Sure you spend more money up front but once the initial purchase has been made everything else is just cheaper. No yearly fee to play online, steep discounts on new games, and emulators!!

I will concede though on two fronts. First Person Shooters has a larger online community on consoles (but I prefer single player), and sports games like NFL Football or NHL Hockey are missing.

As for exclusives, well I will be buying both an XBone and PS4 for Halo 5, Halo Master Chief collection, and Uncharted 4. Can't live without those games sorry PC, I'll be back once I'm done...I promise!

The Ps4 and Xbox One are not the only "Next-Gen" consoles. Why is everyone judging this off power alone? 3DS, Ps Vita, Wii U, Ps4 and Xbox One. That is the "next-gen" of consoles. I wish people would stop acting like only two consoles make up the "Next-Gen".

If power was the deciding factor in being "Next-Gen". The Ps2 and DS would not hold the positions of 1st and 2nd best selling consoles to date. Not trying to trash on the article or anything. But I would like if people acknowledged the "Next-Gen" (aka 8th-gen) as whole. Each of the new systems are bringing something to the table. Not just Ps4 and Xbox One.

MookaTek4236d ago (Edited 4236d ago )

Well, obviously, the last generation of consoles is considerably better than the current generation. There are nearly ten years worth of games on them, and several of those games are masterpieces.

But this new generation is off to a decent start, even if it didn't begin with the kind of bang one would expect from new consoles.

It took some time for me to appreciate my Xbox One as a truly new system, but Forza Horizon 2 showed me what my new system was capable of. The Bayonetta 2 demo on the Wii U showed me that that console was capable of far more than the Wii could've handled. And I'm sure that once I get a PS4, I'll be happy.

But in the end, none of these current consoles has a true "game changer", and that may be a first in the history of new console releases. There is simply not a single game on any of the current consoles that could not have been replicated on the last-generation consoles (minus, of course, some textures and total on-screen character models, and some other miscellany, but I'm sure the overall gameplay experience would've been more or less the same).

This is the single most dull generation in console-release history, but I understand the rule of diminishing returns will become ever more relevant as technology advances, and I'm okay with that.

In short, I'm quite happy with my Wii U and my Xbox One, and I'll definitely like my eventual PS4. In the end, it's all about the games that each system offers, and no doubt, they will each offer me a plethora of digital delights.

Peanuts1104236d ago

I agree with you. I feel the PS4 & XBO held back a lot in design aspects. So they can still make games that can run on both on last gen. consoles as well as next gen. to increase their profit margin. They didn't want to make consoles too high in specs that would not allow them to run games on last gen. consoles.

lemoncake4236d ago

Last gen the consoles launched with very good hardware, this time around they are just average in that area. I really liked last gen xbox 360, ps3 and wii was just an amazing setup, this gen is ok but x1, ps4 and wii u setup is good but just isn't as amazing as that last gen. I am happy to move onto the new gen though because the old gen was starting to show it's age, this gen could have been a whole lot better though. Still some time to go though so maybe this gen will improve over time.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5823d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905823d ago (Edited 5823d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5823d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5823d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495823d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5823d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5823d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
