Yeah, the IndieStation 4 will have way better games!
Pretty accurate analogy. Well said.
lol, I can see Sony doing this totally, after all a big sales point of the PS3 (one of the reasons I bought one) was the other-OS feature, which they removed, backwards compatibility with PS2? Removed, and more, all they do is remove features.
But we'll see come november, I honestly hate all the speculation up until then, because as of right now none of this even matters as it's all just rumors and speculation.
@saint_seya - no I'm saying that I paid for Gold originally because I had ZERO downtime in the 5+ years I've been on it, better voice chat, cross-game party chat, more secure servers, and really the list can go on, not to mention more people with headsets on XBL vs when I'm on PSN, better competition, etc
And yeah, I'm sure Sony had tons of games with dedicated servers... Wonder how long they lasted though? Last I checked I could barely even find a match on KZ...
So jump ship from one DRM platform to the other? Makes sense.
No, the fact is that anytime Sony does ANYTHING the fans eat it up like it's pure gold, regardless of what it is.
Sony doesn't respect their customers anymore than any other business, every ones got these rose-colored glasses for major companies (Sony, MS, Nintendo, whoever else) thinking that one or the other is more for the consumer or respects their customers more, the fact is, none of ...
The problem is PS+ isn't going to be offering the "free" rental of games that they offer now, but more than likely it'll just be some vita games thrown out here and there, and some PS3 games, and possibly indie and small PS4 games, at least for a year+ it'll just be used for online play, but hey, paying for Peer-to-peer on PS4 is way better than paying for 300k+ dedicated servers on X1 right?
But to answer your question, me personally, I was fine with the original X1 system after I realized that most things are heading that way anyways.
I mean honestly, people can complain about it all they want, but all they did was delay something for a few more years, in the end digital and DRM will be what runs the industry.
Honestly I think Sony had the same plans to go the same route for digital and DRM and whatever else, but they waited it out til MS came out and said something and then seen the backlash and decided to be the white knight of the gaming industry, I don't think Sony had intentions on not doing it until they seen all the good PR they could get from it.
That's why MS is using 3.5GB RAM for their non-game OS and Sony is using 4GB? lol?
Exactly, I'm not a fanboy in the least, I own a PS3, 360, Wii, Wii U, I just happen to prefer the launch X1 games, the fact that their getting dedicated servers and a few other features more so I'm getting it first, because to be honest no launch games for the PS4 really interest me, as soon as an Uncharted style game or something close is announced I'll probably pick one up.
Now even more models of the vita to sit on shelves!
I use it pretty jokingly because honestly it's a pretty immature name, sounds like something you'd hear in the 1st or 2nd grade, but as for myself I have the system pre-ordered, so it doesn't affect me either way.
Lets face it, 90% of the people complaining were never going to buy it anyways, regardless of what their policies were or are.
The funny thing is, if this was all reversed and Sony had some policies people didn't like and decided to CHANGE them before the console ever released to the will of consumers, and garnered some sort of stupid nickname, and a Sony rep came out and said it was disrespectful all you'd see is Sony fans going "Oh it's totally disrespectful, people dedicated thousands of hours of their life to work on this product, etc etc" and agreeing 100%.
2 was alright, but nothing special.
Did you miss that in order to play online with PS4 you need PSN+?
I always found the chatpad's troublesome, ate up the battery life, and just felt funny on the 360 controller, I had trouble really gaming with it attached, if they do a re-design or make it lighter and less power consumption it would be nice.
And smartglass should work well as a touch screen input for the X1.
I think they can do a lot honestly, I'm excited for it. I'm sure we'll see a ton of new accessories for it in the future.
Yeah I guess since PS2 controller didn't work on PS3 without an adapter (and even then iffy) Sony really screwed over people, and same with PS4/PS3 controllers. Oh well.
Well I guess Sony can afford to use Chinese slave-labor to build their consoles, I mean morally they're in the right because they gave some disabled kid a PS4 right? Am I right folks?
