The Next Generation: Where the PS4 and Next Xbox Stand, How and Why

"It’s only human to dream of bigger and better things. When a high-profile game releases, people, be it the gamers or media, automatically start talking about what the sequel holds. When viewing an upcoming sequel in a long-running series, thoughts of how it fits into the overall trilogy begin flowing. How many articles have you read, talking about the “Top 5 Most Wanted Features” for an upcoming theoretical sequel?"

Where do they stand for me??? Doesnt matter...im getting both systems hopefully just like this gen. More gaming the better!Fanboy crap is so short sighted..

TheBrownBandito4093d ago (Edited 4093d ago )

Where did you infer "fanboy crap" from that article? :/

Another well written and informative article, thanks. And to think not long ago, some sources were begining to summize that one of the big three wouldn't be releasing another console. With the SteamBox announced, instead the future for console gaming seems to be getting brighter.

Edit: splelling

theWB274093d ago

I didn't infer it from the article...i was stating there was no bias for me. On this site allot of people pick sides to what console they want and then bash the other...see digitalsmoke's comment below. Hr didn't say anything about me wanting both consoles but attacked me because I'm not supporting one company...and choose to want an xbox. I enjoy gaming on my xbox more but love the hell out of Sony's exclusives.

MikeMyers4092d ago

Where it all stands for me is real gameplay. Not tech demo's. I don't want to see what it can apparently do but what is actually does. I also don't want to see games that are 3+ years away from being released.

Divine4092d ago

i am a fan boy of just great things and quality which is why i will have a ps4 at launch if i get the xbox it will be after a few price drops i think it will just be a waste of my money. that will be going towards quality "ps4" there is no need to figure out where they stand sony is on. top , next gen starts when ps4 is here

dcbronco4092d ago

Bandito,

you're on N4G. Fanboy crap is always inferred. Just read the post on this page. I haven't. but I know where they're going. We all do.

If i have to pick one console from 3(Wii U, PS4 and X720) then i would pick PS4

Why? Because Sony has most exclusive games, PS1,PS2 and PS3 proved it, and so will be PS4 same way.
Also, PS4 WILL be powerful.

Reason why not X720:
Lack of exclusives, too many Halos and Gears of War... Also too much Kinect stuff. Dident microsoft told that next gen they focus on Kinect 2? I really want exclusive big games, not Kinect games!!!

Wii U? Um... more like last gen...

nintendoland4092d ago

you are the most biased f*ck ever. Sony might have lots of exclusives but 90% of those are shovel ware and casual s*it. For example Heavy Rain and Gran Tursimo. Wii u is last gen? really? Are you that slow? Nintendo and PC for next gen. Nintendo for great exclusives and PC for 3rd party. What does sony/microsoft have. Uncharted, Halo... you crack me up.

aquamala4092d ago

but why would you want to pick just one console?

gobluesamg4092d ago

Your name is nintendoland and you want us to believe that your not biased. Sony exclusives are not shovel ware. Simple as that.

cedaridge4092d ago (Edited 4092d ago )

AGREE! I'm lookin to get both as well. I like gears for xbox, uncharted for ps3, and it depends for multiplat. But let say Sony charge a membership for the ps4, i might have to decide cause i don't see myself paying for a membership for both ps4 and xb720.

one2thr4092d ago

I'd pay for PlayStation Plus, any day... Excluding days when I'm hungry, need gas money, and etc. But any other day, I'm more than willing to pay for that "membership", ad long is it follow its current service/trend.

evilhasitsway4092d ago

i wouldnt really call myself a fanboy of sony the only reason i stick with sony is the games they have more.

Lol you know what is short sighted?, just throwing money at hardware because you lack the insicht to separate quality from garbage.

You know whats even worse?
Company's getting away with making tons of cash on marketing low level bullshit products cause of ppl like you.

DigitalSmoke4093d ago

The ppl who have no knowladge about hardware or quality games voted Disagree Hahaha look at it!

Intentions4093d ago

I don't need to understand where they stand.

All I know that both will be F***ING EPIC!

juandren4093d ago

I love it when an article says "Next Xbox" and not f*cking "Xbox 720". Seriously, do people HONESTLY think it will be called that?

PS4isKing_824093d ago

No but we don't have an actual name for it and that name just stuck so ppl use it to refer to the next Xbox whatever it'll be called.
Ppl have to call it something for now so other ppl know they're not talking about the 360.

But honestly who cares what Microsoft calls it, until they invest in more exclusive ips than just halo and gears and kinect, I will never own an Xbox.

inFAMOUS_KRATOS4093d ago

everytime someone type " get both system " or best of both world...."

it grinds my gear, everyone has a preference doesnt have time for two consoles, if you like your the coolest guy on the planet having " both consoles " then be it.. stop typing it like your getting wanked by a model.

DigitalSmoke4093d ago (Edited 4093d ago )

They got no sense, 9 ou of 10 if they buy both its just to cover for their insecurity or ignorance.
Yelling "im not a Fanboy see!" could just as well be "I am an idiot" in these cases.

rainslacker4092d ago (Edited 4092d ago )

uhhh...or they could be buying both because they both offer something that the person wants...my guess would be exclusive games or some other quantifiable aspect of the machine or games that appeals to them.

I'll be buying a PS4 unless Sony shows they really dropped the ball on it's announcement. Already have a Wii U and am enjoying it. Already have, and will always have a PC. Have a Vita and love it. Have a Saturn, DC, SNES, NES, Turbo Duo, Gameboy Color, PS3, PS2, PS1, and Sega CD. Will buy a 360 if enough games come out for it that appeal to me, if not then oh well.

All that and I'm pretty secure with myself, and I'm definitely more informed than you when it comes to gaming based on your posts.

Edit @ Nintendoland below

Doesn't make him stupid. They are two separate racing games that offer something different from one another. Some people really like racing games, so the more the merrier.

steve30x4093d ago

Some people buy both so that they can have the titles that wont be on both consoles. I bought an Xbox 360 for Forza games and I have a PS3 for GT5.

nintendoland4092d ago

I almost feel sorry for you. I mean can someone be that stupid?

WalterWJR4093d ago

You must have a very rusty gear.

aquamala4092d ago

if one can more than afford it why not?

what's worse? someone that picks one console to own and bash the other consoles and games that they won't ever even play?

hazardman4092d ago

Keep grinding them teeth then, because I'm getting both. I'm a gamer who just happens to like what Sony and MS have to offer. The only thing cool is to know I can afford both!

What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.

Cacabunga8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

A rumored game at a rumored show.. we’ve seen it all

TiredGamer8h ago

Agreed. The first remake was stylistically beautiful and a very noticeable improvement over the original in every regard. And it was reasonably priced and sustainably developed (i.e. not some mega big budget game that was do or die for the developer).

Zeke6810h ago

Thanks for the spoilers... :(

RonnySins10h ago

Another day, another remake. Ugh!

SonyStyled9h ago

If you played the original print I can see your annoyance. I didn’t and probably a lot others the past 20 years.

Was it any good? Would you suggest playing the original print of 2, or suggest the remake? Just wondering because I didn’t play the originals as I had an n64 at the time

TiredGamer8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I played the first remake and absolutely loved it. The quality of life and control improvements were very noticeable. I tried playing the PS1 original and gave up halfway through at the janky controls.

Expect the same for part 2. The PS1 version is janky as heck, but I would gobble up an improved remake day one.

The beauty of this kind of stuff is that I find myself enjoying more retro gaming today, so a relatively low budget classic remake (call it a single-A release) is exactly what is missing from first party releases in the modern age. I don’t want every game to be an unsustainable AAAA endeavor that is just overwhelming in every regard. Truly miss when game releases could be modest-sized surprises and still be commercially successful/viable.

Bring on more quality classic remakes!

DarXyde1h ago

I can see your frustration and mostly agree, but modern remakes of games lost eras ago are fine if you ask me.

I don't know how old you are, but I was a kid when the first Medievil came out. It's really for a new generation of gamers more than anything and the industry is at a point now where there is an insane number of current gamers who missed out on those classics.

If we're talking about remakes of The Last of Us or remasters of GTAV, I'm in agreement. Otherwise, the choice to remake games like Final Fantasy VII, Medievil, Parappa, etc. are fair to me. Even PS2 era games being remade would be welcome to me. Often, the tech updates make it worth it.

Knightofelemia10h ago

Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.

Omegasyde9h ago

My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).

I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder

InUrFoxHole4h ago

SOCOM! SOCOM! SOCOM!
But please not like Socom 4
