The new controller looks silly.

Is anyone else annoyed that they're making some content in destiny exclusive for PS4?

Not really, don't really care enough. I think the controller looks pretty good but I can't really judge it until I actually use it.

Launch titles look solid, controller looks decent, but I would have really liked to see the new console. Just a single photo would have gotten me really excited.

It's a bit ridiculous. It seems like it would be easy to make it backwards compatible.:P

The architecture of the system is totally different. Your going from a cell processor to an X86 APU. I am not shocked at all, had they included backwards compatibility I would not want to be the guy whose job it is to handle it.

Had to look up what that was. Since Sony owns the company it makes it an easier option then if they didn't but like you said it would be expensive and somehow Sony doesn't strike me as sympathetic enough to care.

I'm the same way myself. Back when I had consoles I never sold any of the older ones. Backwards compatibility didn't matter to me. I guess having a bunch of consoles plugged in is a lot worse than having one plugged in.

This is why it is important: say Kman buys a ps4. He never had a ps3, but his buddies on GS always talked about UC and MGS. Poor little Kman could never play them. ever. He dies alone in a well crying. The end.

No, I just don't want to have to re-buy a PS3 if my current one breaks. I could just buy a PS4 and move into the next generation while replacing my PS3.

That's a good point, messed up as it is that we have to think that way these days. My original SNES, N64 and PS1 still work.

it's not really about sympathetic, it's just simple business, and it is just too complicated as it is.

I finished watching the two hours video, and I gotta say, I'm impressed. However, this console seems REALLY focused on heavily integrated online features.

It's possible to go offline all the time but I agree, there's a bit too much online features to my liking.

Obviously, I have strong hatred towards these online features and am miserable over it.

Nonetheless, I'll still probably go Sony again for the next generation, they just have really good exclusives.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. If I recall didn't they show some really awesome footage of Killzone 2 at the PS3 release that ended up not looking much like the final game ?

I like portable games, but yes, if a title is on a console and portable, usually the portable version will suck.

Setting yourself up for disapointment me thinks. I'm a pessimist though.

I think that will vary from studio to studio. Some will go for scope like open world games and some will go for graphics like shooters.

I've never really liked them as much as other people do. I don't think they're bad games at all, they're just not my kind of RPG. They are huge games meant to get lost in and I prefer the Bioware types that are heavy on dialogue, choices and connects me more to the story.

One major upside to the PC version is the community for the Elder Scrolls games has always been fantastic. When Skyrim came out there was thousands of mods available in the first month and many bugs were being fixed by the community faster than Bethesda was pumping them out. One guy even modded Oblivion to look better than vanilla Skyrim.

Most definitely!:D

@TLR Nope. Games are more focused on being like movies now, and the size of games seems to be decreasing more and more. I think a few developers will use the power more wisely though. I think a prequel to Dishonored would work perfectly.
