The Co-op Podcast 53: Why The Only Option Right Now Is PS4

Gary at TheKoalition writes:
Myself, Richard Bailey and host Edward Velasquez return with guests Anthony Frasier and Thomas Chamberlain for another episode of The Co-op Podcast. This week we touched on Edge magazine's rather bold front cover which reads: "Why The Only Option Right Now Is PS4". Is this just fanboy flamebait, or is there actual substance to the message they are putting out?

We also spoke in length about Don Matrick's departure from Microsoft, and why he may have chosen Zynga as his new home. Was Microsoft's decision to change their DRM policies part of the reason for his departure? Or could this move have planned way in advance?

Price, specs, size, class, less restrictive, 1st party, indies, PS+, more games in development and is entirely focused on gaming while treating you w/ the respect you deserve for supporting them.

warewolfSS3939d ago

Dude are you serious or just kidding about getting treated with respect? Their a company. Get your head checked.

flipflopfacts3939d ago

How about not treating their consumers like criminals. Does that DRM they tried to placed on that Xbox one jog your memory?

T23939d ago

While expecting Sony to feed all the homeless of the world is a bit far-fetched, there are plenty of companies out there who respect their consumers and treat them well ... If you think thats a foreign concept you are buying from the wrong companies.

MariaHelFutura3939d ago (Edited 3939d ago )

Why does everyone say that? Of course they're a company. Some do business differently, like Kashi and Mcdonalds.

I'll give you an example of the respect I'm talking about still ran within a business structure.

-PS4 not making you buy a camera like the Xbox

-PS+ vs. XBL.

-Microsoft trying to restrict everything, while Sony didn't.

@flipflopfacts
Does Sony's DRM on cds jog your memory? Most companies will push to see what they can get away with. Besides, I am pretty sure the DRM was not based so much about people being criminals, but recouping used sales. Not sure why anybody who does not have stock in a company would have such crazy and blind loyalty. I got my ps4 already locked, but still consider their business practice. Were we not treated like criminals when the other os ability was removed from the ps3. A featured you advertised to sell your system, you just up and removed.

YNWA963939d ago

What are you people going to do when Sony goes the DRM route? It is going to happen.... I heard you can buy atari retro machines on line..

@joecanada: "There are plenty of companies out there who respect their consumers and treat them well ... If you think thats a foreign concept you are buying from the wrong companies."

Love this statement! I find it funny that it's Microsoft fanboys that continually are the ones saying corporations don't care about you and are only after your money. I wonder why they feel this way.

abzdine3939d ago (Edited 3939d ago )

so what? then stop posting here it's website trying to make money from you.. there are respectful companies like Sony or Nintendo and others who have no honor like M..

whatever!!

MasterCornholio3939d ago

Customer satisfaction can be an integral part of a firms business model. I don't know why some idiots believe that its impossible to achieve this while maintaining decent profit margins.

Bottom line not every firm is like Microsoft there are some firms who care about costumer satisfaction because if their customers are satisfied than they are more likely to buy their products.

BattleAxe3938d ago (Edited 3938d ago )

Steam is really the only good choice left.

jessupj3938d ago

I am soooo fking sick and tired of people like you spouting 'bu bu Sony's a company too that only cares about money'.

If you can't spot the difference in how MS and sony treat their customers then you're choosing to be deliberately stupid.

BuffMordecai3939d ago

Microsoft can eat a bag of dicks, I'm not supporting a company that tried to shove so much BS on its consumers and only backpedaled when its ass was handed to them in pre-order numbers. PS4WiiU for me.

jeffgoldwin3939d ago (Edited 3939d ago )

So how do u feel about mandatory paid online on ps4. ooooo do they still respect you after sleeping with yur women and clearing out your checking account?

YNWA963938d ago

What does a bag of dicks taste like Buff?

TheRealHeisenberg3939d ago

Only if that option is $300 USD or less.

flipflopfacts3939d ago

TheRealHeisenberg3938d ago (Edited 3938d ago )

To spout the same stuff. Just put me on ignore and forget about me.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad584d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g584d ago (Edited 584d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot749d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250748d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface748d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop748d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno748d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel749d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps748d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33748d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888748d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH748d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
