Playstation 4: Thread 02

[BIG EDD]

I'm happy with Contrast and RESOGUN for ps+ members Sony didn't have to make them free

[nonny]

That's how I feel. DR3 and Ryse don't appeal to me whereas Killzone and Knack do.

This is precisely the point. I'll get both consoles in time but at launch it was always going to be the Xbox One. Killzone doesn't interest me at all and very little else for that matter. For others though it's the completely opposite opinion which is fair enough.

Big shame about Drive Club but there is still plenty of decent titles in the PS4 line up. In fact I think its fair to say on either platform its the 3rd party titles that are most interesting anyway. BF4 and ACIV for me!

For and against time

For PS4
PlayStation plus
more indie games
more powerfull out of the box
cheaper

Against ps4
untested network and no info on dedicated servers
slow patching on ps3 will this continue?
lack of exclusives at launch

For Xbox One
More choice of exclusives at launch (Ryse, dead rising ect)
Dedicated servers for online play
fast downloads and patching

Against Xbox One
Price
Less powerful out fo the box
xbox live games for gold is a joke and no news of this for xbox one
Microsoft forcing kinect
13 year old Americans

Sony have already said that the PS4 has a seperate chip system dedicated to background DL so as the issues from PS3 do not carry over.

A dedicated background downloading chip wont sort out bandwidth issues if there servers are still slow as dead dog.

It takes me twice as long to download a gig from Playstation network as it dose from live.

No explanation yet as to what this means.

Really interesting u say that because I actually find PSN downloads stuff much quicker than Xbox Live. Maybe something to do with the broadband connection?

"all the digital content on your ps3" well if you take it as its said then all digital content is ps3 games and psn games, ps one games, movies music ect, is the ps4 now backwards compatible? and if its true why is game in Basildon announcing this???

They've confirmed now that they don't mean Gaikai streaming of the content.

Don't see how they could achieve this through emulation due to the differences between both platforms, I just don't see how they could hope to emulate stuff like Uncharted 3. The rumours seem to suggest that you can recompiling PS3 code to play on the PS4, nothing confirmed though.

I just don't see how it can be true but it's massive if they've managed to do this.

" and if its true why is game in Basildon announcing this???

I thought this had been mentioned already that via Gaikai everything would be accessible that way at least in terms of games. I think it was a given movies etc would as it's kind of like saying when you upgrade iTunes you would lose all of your content, so it's not huge news really.

They've confirmed now that they don't mean Gaikai streaming of the content.

Where is this confirmed that it is running locally on the machine for games?

[85 78 73 81 85 69]

I still don't believe it.

[Pezley]

I still don't believe it.

Who on earth would follow Game in Basildon on twitter anyway ?

I'm going to follow 'Next' in Portsmouth... they give great tweats.

[CMcK]

I seriously doubt that Sony have full backwards compatibility in the PS4 and forgot to mention it. Even if it is a form of recompilation like MS did with the 360 that's a lot of work for little financial gain.
Do peeps not remember how quickly BC was ditched then generation? I'm skeptical that the Cell processor could be emulated properly on the AMD APU.

Maybe you connect the PS3 to PS4 by Wifi/Ethernet???

As in the PS3 is now the PS4's Mega CD?
