How exciting. Killzone 4. Woo. I just cannot bring myself to be remotely interested. I was speaking to my Dad about it last night. He's out anyway, because it doesn't play CDs, but he questioned why I even want one, let alone need one. It's the safest, most strategically mundane, western-orientated launch in the history of the universe. Right now the XBO looks like a more exciting purchase. Hardware limitations and all. No wonder they aren't launching in Asia yet. They'd never get away with it with the software lineup they're pushing on everyone else.

The strength of the PS4 with me is what goes beyond launch day. For the most part both systems are identical, on Sony's side DriveClub doesn't seem to be tracking well at all or even getting much of a push, Knack seems to have just not struck a cord with people and Killzone is getting good impressions but the general populace seems down on it because of the series it's from. With XBO Forza looks fine if a little reserved following on from F4, Killer Instinct is ok for the price, Ryse is mostly spectacle and Dead Rising looks decent. None on either look astounding as launch games though and once you get past Day 1 you have to be well into Halo and Gears to get much more exclusive wise from Xbox so PS4 is a much more diverse option down the line based on their predecessors. I'm looking forward to trying out Warframe and War Thunder too. I think for the most part my XBO will end up as a CoD machine till MS rolls out something worthwhile post launch, I think Titanfall is worth a gander but there's little else on the horizon for it whereas in some form PS4 has so many series that will get a new entry plus whatever new titles they come up with it's an easy purchase.Comment

There's no way I'd actually buy an Xbox, but the PS4 is looking so surgical that I really cannot justify a purchase. With most launches, you get one good game and a load of tech demos. Here it's just a load of PS3 games with mildly better graphics. There's nothing inside the launch window that I even want to research. It's all so very, very bland. None of these games would sell more than ten copies in Asia, so I'm still holding out that there'll be some import-only titles when it is released overseas. I'm referring to something like a Wangan or Railfan as with the PS3.Kept you waiting, huh?Comment

Long term yes, but what I mean is that for example, the BF4 team can't (probably) just use the PC dev environment and tell it to do a PS4 build. I am making excuses for them though. Sony were talking full HD with PS3. How can we be on PS4 and not launching with full HD (to me Full HD gaming is 1080 / 60).Originally posted by nakamura View Post
Luckily there are no PS4 games I want at the moment so no day one for me.Comment

Sony said that PS2 was so powerful, that no tree would be the same in Gran Turismo 3.Kept you waiting, huh?Comment

For asia and PS4 all eyes have to be on TGS now, I'd consider it almost harmful to the system if they didn't reveal a release date and more region tailored line up at the show. They've certainly gone after this launch in a very tactical manner.Comment

Wonder what are the chances of Sony announcing a release date even earlier for Japan?Comment

PS4 wins best hardware award at Gamescom, plus oddly Destiny gets best Sony game award. Titanfall wins the award for best MS game.Comment

Didn't Destiny have a closed demo for the media only that showed off quite a fair bit of new in game content though?Comment

Looks like Walmart has leaked the PS4 one date as November 15th, and Xbox one as the 8th of Nov.Comment

Erm, the PS4 date was formally announced at Gamescom a few days ago. 15th Nov in the US, 29th in EU.Originally posted by spinpug666 View PostComment

The Xbox One date wasn't though right?Comment

No, and it still isn't. It's all guessing and pissing in the wind based on he-said she-said company placeholder dates still.Originally posted by GluedOnBeard View PostComment
