PS4 Thread - NA Launch November 15th, World 29th

More news of next gen consoles not being quite next gen with watch dogs to be at 30 fps on next gen. At least it looks like PS4 is showing to be a tad more superior as the specs indicate.

"720p on PS360, 1080 on PS4, TBD on Xbox One"

"Big difference between last generation and next gen. You can see it. PC can hit up to 60fps 1080, but I think they are aiming for parity with PS4"

"Both hit 30fps easy. I think Xbox One suffers a few dips from 60fps. PS4 is pretty smooth. Definitive version"

GAF thread on the PS4 being able to play co-op over remote play, so 1 PS4, separate screens with the Vita or VitaTV

I'm calling BS right now, but intriguing.

DualShock 4 controller will work on PC

Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida said the new controller will be able to perform "basic functions" on Windows PCs, adding that "the analog sticks and buttons will work just fine."

Cool.

For the people complaining about Microsoft's excessive attention to things unrelated to gaming, how do you feel about the PS4 not playing MP3's or lack of basic DLNA streaming?

Personally, it makes no sense to take out (the few) good features that the PS3 always had. Maybe not a HUGE deal or deal breaker, but IMO it just reminds me too much of the disappointment that was the PS3 launch. It shouldn't be too much to ask to be able to play music from my PC on my gaming console, WHILE I'm playing a game w/o having to jumble through a monstrosity of a GUI.

Also mixed feelings about gameplay comparisons from what I've seen. BF4 plays at a higher resolution than the XBone with same FPS (nice), however screenshot comparisons of both CoD and BF4 both show the XBone as looking noticeably better (not nice). Maybe not night and day better, but just further confirms IMO that performance difference between the two will be essentially moot with multi-platform games.

Also no Titanfall pretty much sold me not on switching to XBone, but to just hold off on next gen for awhile.

Titanfall on PC tho

The MP3 thing sucks for me, I played a lot of games on the 360 with my own soundtrack replacing the game's. (I had it streaming from my computer, but still)

The biggest issue for my with PS4 is no launch suspend games. IMO it is the biggest "next gen" thing, and Xbone has it while PS4 won't (at launch).

Not preorder cancelled by any means, but still

I'm not too bothered by it myself, but it is unfortunate.

i have never used an mp3 on any console so that does not bother me and i may be the only one who does not really care about titanfall though if i did i would buy on the pc anyway. being said however i will not be getting the ps4 at launch now anymore anyway. i kept going back and forth on if i should or should not get it at launch since everything i wanted to play was coming out on ps3 or pc, neither console has a single launch title that excites me. anyway after going back and forth my wife came home one day and told me she cancelled it and made my mind up for me lol. the fact that i was not pissed off showed me it was the right choice so i am guessing this time next year i will join the next gen crowd as i assume by then they will have something i really want

I'm in a similar boat, but my reasons remain the same. I'd go nuts not being able to play Live 14 or Next Gen 2K14, and I'd be losing out on PS+ free games while I wait to buy the console for probably the same price later down the road.

Does the MP3 thing mean no custom entrance themes for PS4 WWE games, or is that unrelated?

I'm guessing it would mean no custom entrance themes.

this was the main reason i thought about keeping the preorder and buying it day one. in the end though i went with spending the 400 on christmas for the kids

nothing wrong with that logic at all

XBox One it is, then.

So who is getting a day one console?

I'll have my PS4 on Friday.

What games? I'll have to pick a game up on launch day since live 14 doesn't release until 4 days after the console. It will probably be 2k14

Gamestops are selling 2K14 right now actually. I think I said it in the Live 14 thread, but I'm going 2K14 on launch and Live 14. If I can get my hands on the Live disc early, yay, if not, going digital with that 9GB download.

Not planning on getting any other games other than the PS+ Contrast and Resogun games. Evidently Minecraft is a launch game though.........

aaaand we will need offical Jao review videos for both 2k & Live!

i think we need a helmet cam vlog for the trip

Day one in Australia, so two weeks after the rest of you.

I got Battlefield 4 and COD Ghosts for free on PS3, so I'd probably go get the Ghosts and Battlefield upgrade as well as Killzone Shadow Fall and NBA Live.

Some combination of FIFA and/or 2K14.

Amazon is doing a digital storefront for PSN..... http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=1289533011 and they are going to run deals like $5 PSN back with a digital purchase right now. Then GMG tweets that they are looking into it.....aahh DEALZ YO

Gamestop is supposedly holding my PS4 version of 2k14 right now, hopefully grab that today and then call Wallyworld to figure out if they are doing Midnight launch or 7am or 10am on Friday to get the system.

Amazon also has a buy two get one free deal which I fell for. So I should have four games by next week.
