PS4: Thoughts From A Late Adopter

"Imagine this: It’s February 20th, 2013. The PS4 is officially announced and I am hyped! Who isn’t? The next day I went down and preordered the system at my local game store". - STYNCLSY of Integritygamer.com

I forget that most of those are there! So many features for different people. It's awesome!

UltraNova3778d ago

Share Play is by far the most important new feature of this gen, amazing!

ninsigma3778d ago

I haven't actually used it but it is a really cool feature!

Aloy-Boyfriend3779d ago

PS4 is a beast. Day one adopter here

_-EDMIX-_3778d ago

Agreed. I wouldn't even say anyone buying it right now is a "late adopter" as this gen is still pretty early.

I would say both current gen systems have amazing line ups and its one of the most jam packed line ups this early in a gen in gaming history.

Next gen will easily top this one in regards to huge launches now that both Sony and MS have great indie support.

Fist4achin3778d ago

I still haven't even picked up mine yet. I'm waiting for either a good bundle or a new slim version. I also had to save my pennies. Almost there!

ninsigma3778d ago

You'll have plenty of games to choose from and they'll be really cheap too!

Fist4achin3777d ago

That is also a plus to getting in later! Trust me, I'm just mozeying along ripping through older games and doing it on the cheap.

Dragonking0073778d ago

Its a good system still not feeling the grand titles yet sure there was witcher 3,mgs 5, a decent cod (even tho cod last year was pretty good) a gta (even tho bit more of what of what i got from ps3 version which is ok tho) hopefully this year i get more impact full games that define the reason to have a ps4

_-EDMIX-_3778d ago

I would say more titles to buy a current gen system right now in the first 2 years, then any platforms prior to it.

Many CODs, Many AC's, Destiny, MGS5, Witcher 3, Dragon Age 3, Batman Arkham Knight, Fallout 4, Until Dawn, Bloodborne, Mad Max, Dying Light, Infamous 3, Killzone SF, Driveclub and just a whole list of titles.

I'm sorry but if you can't find something to play with the huge list of titles that released in the last 2 years, I don't know what to tell you.

I can honestly say, after getting PS3 day 1, PS4 AND XONE first 2 years ECLIPSES last gen's first 2 years.

I legit don't know what to tell you. I'm literally swamped with amazing games to play.

if your looking for a "grand title", don't put too much stock in AAA, great games can be found regardless of "grand" stature.

thricetold3778d ago

I'm actually in the same boat as you. I'm looking at the list edmix put up and most of those games gameplay look absolutely average to me. Been gaming a long time to just settle for a slightly newer version of the same game that plays the same as last gen.

A bunch of first person shooters, overrated games that are hollow, just a few games already out that interest me but don't excite me. I'm not so easily pleased but I'm glad others find something worth playing.

Hopefully the division meets my expectations and gives me a reason to join in.

Kingdomcome2473778d ago

I love the DS4, but I'm the exact opposite of this guy. I didn't realize how much I hated the DS3 until after using other controllers. I can't stand to go back and use it now. I absolutely love the DS4, though. I find it to be a massive improvement over the previous iteraton. All of the other features that he listed are really cool, and hopefully a standard going forward.

Aenea3778d ago

Same here, have been going back to play some stuff on the PS3 but hooked up a DS4 to it 'cos I couldn't get used to the old DS3 anymore!

OB1Biker3778d ago

I love the DS4 really. Also using the touchpad to type in the browser is very nice. Only (slightly) neg I found the stick uncomfortable for my thumbs and use grips which are huge improvement for very cheap. Also I find it best to have two controllers and charge them in turn on phone charger not needing to plug in the console.

Cacabunga28d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot27d 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…

HectixRose28d 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.

JEECE28d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername27d 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.

Soy28d ago

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

DarXyde28d 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.

Ashunderfire8628d 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.

Ashunderfire8628d ago (Edited 28d 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.

pwnmaster300028d 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.

solideagle28d 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

Relientk7728d ago

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