It's all well and good wanting, wishing perhaps for the next Xbox and a new Playstation console, but the reality is the desirability is often met with a number of pitfalls which present themselves to those who immediately rush out and buy them. In many ways, and regardless of how powerful, or feature laden the next gen consoles are, past experience should make consumers a little bit cautious. Here's why.
Golf With Your Friends gets better again, with the introduction of a Critical Hit DLC pack and the launch of Speed Golf.
Between its innovative puzzles, impressive presentation, and undefeated vibes, Cocoon needs to be experienced on Xbox Game Pass and beyond.
A remake of MediEvil 2 may be getting shadow dropped at the rumored PlayStation Showcase or State of Play presentation in May, 2024.
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.
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).
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
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!
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.
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
I think I have finally done it... I found an article that will unite both PlayStation and Xbox fanboys!
Number 5 "Potential hardware issues"
I think everyone will have this in the back of their minds when deciding whether or not to purchase a new console on launch day. All we can go on is track record, we just have to be brave (or stupid :P)
Next Xbox maybe but PS4, HELL NO !
Trying to be as objective as possible here, but I don't think any of these things are going to apply to PS4, at least based on history:
1. Sony has already stated that they learned from their mistakes with PS3 pricing:

2. Obviously there's no list yet of games being made besides the few that have been revealed, but I think we can all agree that Sony's whole "thing" with PS4 is "games". Lots of games. I don't see Sony pushing PS4 so hard with games, then not delivering. It would be suicide. Plus, with how friendly Sony is with indies, I think this should be the least of anyone's concerns with PS4.
3. PS4 is easy to develop for, according to many developers. Games never take 100% advantage of the hardware at launch, but there's no reason why a launch game being made for a PC-like system can't deliver quality games on launch from third-party devs.
4. This isn't even worth covering, but I can't say he's wrong.
5. PS3 had hardware issues, mostly because the video card got too hot if I understand correctly. But PS4 has a small APU that runs on little power, I doubt overheating is going to be an issue. Although that 8GB of GDDR3 RAM could put out quite a bit of heat later on, when devs start utilizing it.
These are just my thoughts, not trying to upset other gamers/fanboys, I just don't agree with any points the article makes (besides maybe #4).
In All truth ALL consoles suck! because there not many games out on initial launch. The usually start maturing at the 3 year mark where you have a ton of games.
The ps3 offered blu-ray which was great though.
