I second this. I purchased a PS4 Pro before the launch and was searching for a bundle but couldn't find one. Ended up ordering both separately but I'm sure it will sell a lot more if it's bundled with a PS4/Pro down the road.
Love the game. Best open world game I've played in a while. Last open world game that lived up to my hype was Witcher 3 and this is in the same league
My first 360 got RROD. I sold the replacement and got the Xbox Slim and the disc tray would malfunction half the time by ejecting it out. It was such a pain. I had to manually shove it in and half the time it would work and the other half it wouldn't register the game.
Although 360 was the best Xbox MS produced and I've had countless great times with it, it was the most unreliable console I've owned
No they don't. Every major LCD display I order online will take it back if it has dead pixels. Have you ever heard Apple not take an iPhone back because of dead pixels? iPhones use LCDs and you bet they will replace it without even asking you a question.
Dead pixel is a huge deal when the main feature of the product you're selling is the portability of your console.

^^ Look at the number of defective switches out there just on Youtube. The quality of the console isn't up to par even for a launch console. There are so many reports of people having sync issues and the dock scratching the screen
For a 300$ console, telling people dead pixels are normal is just plain garbage. Even Acer replaced my 150$ crappy display because of...
Damn have mercy on my wallet. PS4 having its best year yet. We are just 1 quarter in and have 3 AAA games out.
Pretty much the article:-
Horizon Zero Dawn’s latest patch has gone live and fortunately, it will not take too much time away from taking down machines as it only comes in at small 227.9MB download.
And with a small download also comes a small list of patch notes as it only lists one change which is “multiple crash and progression fixes.”
There are so many ways to approach an attack it reminds me of MGS5 in terms of combat depth.
-> You can go all bows blazing
-> You can scan for elemental damage and focus on it to gain the upper hand
-> you can lay low and use stealth to knock enemies 1 by 1
-> you can corrupt a machine and let them fight each other
-> you can set up traps and spook an enemy to run into it
-> you can tie an enemy and go for cri...
As per digital foundry, the drops are consistent like when you move your camera through a high foliage area or when there are enemies on screen and it hits 20FPS. For a 300$ in 2017 console that is just plain garbage to not hit 30FPS at 900P no matter how you put it.
Note: I am not dissing the game. The game looks great but the console itself is what is holding it back.
I really wished the dock increased the horsepower of the system. For 300$, I at least expect it to output decent 60FPS at 720P or 30FPS at 1080P. I would have even overlooked the handheld battery life limitations. This just feels like they are repackaging the Wii U with a crappy battery pack so you get a weak home console which becomes a decent handheld only to die after 2 hours of gameplay.
The review brought valid points. I felt it was unbiased. Looking objectively, 300$ for a hybrid console with only 1 decent game out at launch seems steep. The lack of decent spec'd hardware also means that the switch will always fail to get multi-platform support.
This is pretty much what the Wii U should have been from the start but I feel it still isn't ready due to hardware/battery limitations.
If you have a 4KTV, then it might be worth investing in a PS4 Pro. I had an OG PS4 and I traded it in for a Pro (Gamestop has a promotion currently going which returns 175$ for a PS4). I am currently playing Infamous SS again and the 4K (checkerboard) looks a pretty decent upgrade from 1080P and that is a game not properly optimized. I can't wait to play Horizon which seems like it is optimized for the Pro properly.
Cloud tech is here. The problem isn't processing power in the cloud, but the lack of ways to get the latency down (and keep it consistent) so the computed values can be sent real time without much lag. This is why I laughed at people when MS were proclaiming that the Cloud will make the Xbox One on par with PS4 in terms of power.
Cloud will always be bottlenecked by the lack of network infrastructure to reduce delivery latency. Even if you got it down to a constant few...
Your argument doesn't make sense. This is supposed to be a hybrid console where you can take it anywhere and for example play it on a plane or give it to your kids on a road trip. You are never gonna take a PS4 on a plane and feel the pinch of a DualShock dying. Also, many people have dual controllers.
I think 4-5 hours is a decent run-time for a handheld, but 2.5 seems way too low honestly. Yes, it is a powerful handheld, but they could have beefed up the battery a bi...
This is a tremendous image quality coming from a console that costs 400$. I mean I have seen games running on 4K before, but the sheer quality displayed here is unmatched.
I am really impressed with the checkerboard technique. I am not saying it is equal to a native 4K, but I don't think a normal person will be able to distinguish or even care. If you think 900P to 1080P 'looked the same', difference between a checkerboard 4K image to 4K would be even less since...
A 4K OLED would be sick. Sadly, I would be kicked out by my wife if I buy one now :P
I currently have a normal 4K with HDR and the games look really good. You can definitely notice the bump up from a standard PS4 on a 4KTV. The checkerboard technique really makes the image shine. I can't wait for the boost mode patch to kick in as well.
I traded in my PS4 for a PS4 Pro just for this baby! Btw anyone looking for a PS4 Pro, checkout Gamestop. They have a promo for a trade in and are giving out 175$ for a PS4/XB1 which ends at the end of Feb. It is much better than what you get at Amazon or other places.
I really don't think a 87 or 88 or even a 90 is that different for a game TBH. This gen, critics are much stricter compared to last gen with regards to rating games and many have moved to a 0.5 scale which is why anything above 85 is a AAA title. Just checkout the number of titles with metacritic > 90 this gen compared to the same time last gen and you'll find a massive difference.
Titles like DarkSouls 3, Nioh, Horizon ZD, Battlefield 1 would have easily scored ...
I only visit Eurogamer for Digital Foundry comparisons (although I think NXGamer on Youtube is getting better at them at their own game). Their reviews have been all over the place over the past few years. This feels too nitpicky IMO. Yeah it is derivative, but nowadays what isn't? Nioh is derived from Bloodborne and DS yet it is lauded for those traits.
I am glad they stopped assigning a number to their reviews. Overall, the game seems to fill an Open World void in Son...
From all the reviews and impressions I've seen, TF2 has been garnering great accolades. The game is at 89 on Metacritics ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... ) which is at the same level as BF1.
This is entirely on the timing which EA fckd up. They could have released it early next year when people would have been tired of BF and COD and it would sell a crapton more.
Cause standards change overtime. If you see metacritics over this gen and compare it to last gen, a lot of games got a free pass last gen. This gen though, reviewers are pretty strict and many have moved to a 0.5 scale and tend to go on the lower end.
I usually had the tendency to think that any game with >90 last gen was a must buy. This gen, I've dropped my personal scale to anything >85.
Also metacritics really doesn't give a full pictu...
