Playstation 4 Thread
 

So that being said, when the PS4 comes out will you buy straight away or can you wait a few years?

wait a few years

I dont really want the new generation of consoles yet, i still think the 360, and the PS3 especially have another good few years in them..but yeah i'll wait a while because consoles always cost so much when they first come out and they are really buggy

It's annoying that the new consoles will be pretty much out at the end of the year, just when my xbox broke, so I don't know whether it's worth getting another Xbox or not

I hope it isn't out at the end of the year.

The thought of only getting about a year and a bit use of my PS3 (getting it on Friday) :bored: will annoy me, I'd personally wait until 2015 to release.

that design is fugly.

I think we'll have them out for definite by the end of the year.

Another report suggests that Sony and Xbox will have Apple style press conferences in March but i cant see that happening.

It'll probably have been 8 years since the PS3 when this goes on sale but I still think it's too soon. The current consoles are far superior (obviously) to their predecessors and can last longer without needing a new generation. It's only the Wii that was obviously lagging behind.

I'm excited to see what's in store but my PS3 is fine until at least 2016 I reckon. PS4 needs to be better than PS3 has been though.

I'm not ready to leave my PS3 :sad: I'll probably wait a while with this next one and get the 'slim' version they're bound to bring out.

No way too soon. 8 year old hardware, it's time to update.

A new generation brings a long a lot of new IPs too, which is desperately needed.

Yeah same, I probably won't get the major 2013 PS3 titles, until like Christmas and then just play them for a bit until I want a PS4.

The first year of new consoles are usually slow for me anyway, when we first got the Xbox 360 when it was released we only wanted Saint's Row.

No point buying a new console around its release. The price normally drops after a year or so, when there will actually be a decent collection of games to play on it.

Saying that, I'll still probably end up getting the PS4 around release :p Desperate for next gen.

Think I just need to get a cheap arcade xbox from somewhere, Don't like the idea of buying a 2nd hand one cause it could be days away from RROD

Add me to the list of people who are still comfortable with this generation. I'll wait till the traditional second hot year and pick one up then.

I always wait like a couple of months to see what the general reaction is, but if it was possible yeh i'd probably buy it

They'll reveal it this year but they'd be foolish to release it so soon. A new console will overshadow and weaken the hype for some of the big PS3 exclusives this year.

This is Sony though so they might

Pre Order and buy if it's decent amount. If not I'll buy as soon as a game I like is only out on the new gen like I done with GTA IV & the PS3.

NEWZ

c

Just no news on a 2013 release and I will be happy xo.

November 28th :wink:

Urgh, how annoying if that is true.

Meh, -plays PS3 until 2014 anyway-

Oww I don't want to spend more money! The PS3 can hold out for a few more years!

I dont mind paying the money actually, me and my friends were talking about it, its not that much money for the usage you get out of it....

Oh god NO, do not want.

NO.

If I wanted a ****ing touch screen id get a phone....imma e-mail sony :idc:

Don't see the new consoles being out this time next year to be honest, announced? Yeah. But certainly not on shelves.

And I'd not buy it for the first 2 years, providing the major gaming companies where still catering for those of us on the 360/PS3 for a good while.

Why dont you think it'll be out Patrick? if it was a November/December launch they've 10 months to get it together and tweak it....

" The PS4 is believed to be capable of displaying games in 4K resolution, to support Blu-ray and to ship at an "affordable" price."

Sweet.

Not sure it just feels like too big a thing for them to suddenly put out - this is exactly how I felt with GTA V aswell when it was revealed that it would be out in a matter of months. It doesn't feel like it, and with hardly any proper promotion it doesn't feel like we're that close to the reveal - guess it feels the same with this, but yeah like you said I guess they have 10 months to really hype it up and get everything sorted.

Also want to comment on that DualShock news - It sounds like a Wii U-esque design they're going for, ridiculous. Praying it's not true and they stick to the original design.

NO no gimmicky controller ffs

The dual shock literally never, ever needs to be changed. If the PS4 does come with a whack ass Wii U like controller I can see them having Dual Shock 4 as a substitute ... and everyone using that instead.

I'm also confused by reports that the next Xbox will be able to play Blu Ray. Even if they made a killing off it why would Sony let their competitor adopt Blu Ray technology when you could keep it strictly for the PlayStation?

Chances are the new Xbox will use some custom sort of HD disc format, methinks.

They need to get a new console design. New remotes too. The Xbox ones are waaaay better

Was thinking this too

xbox controls are way too clunky caitlin :nono:

PS4 needs to have a cross party chat system tbh. If they incorporate that in any way then XBox is almost killed off for me.

I am sick of all this touch screen ****e, and kinect. All I want is a controller

Dis

Exactly, gamers dont want to jump around, they want to lie down with a controller and have a chilled gaming session lol
