PS4 Countdown: Do you care that it doesn’t play MP3s?

From the article, "There’s been a fair amount of handwringing about the PS4 FAQ. It has taken a few steps backward from the PS3 in functionality. [Brian Allen] can’t say any of it is a dealbreaker for me, and I suspect the majority of people who have pre-ordered feel the same way.

The PS4 won’t support streaming media from your computer, which is probably a move designed to steer more users toward Netflix."

I don't but it would be naive for me to say nobody cares because it is clear that some people do. I don't think it is a deal breaker but Sony should reconsider this choice

allformats3825d ago

No. I've never played an MP3 on my PS3 so...

mewhy323825d ago

I don't care at all. I'm buying this thing for the amazing graphics, online play, and exclusive GAMES.

God stop being such a damn fanboy, this is coming from a PlayStation fanboy, what Sony did by not supporting MP3 was just dirty. They were trying to force consumers to buy Music Unlimited if they wanted to listen to music. Stop always defending companies like everything they do is for the good of consumers, no its for their company. I'm not saying Sony is bad a company but compared to Microsoft and Nintendo they are the best out of the 3.

I purchase gaming consoles strictly for gaming. I have never installed or ran an MP3 off of a console. I'm not even sure how to do so. I have maybe 10 songs on my smart phone and that's only to plug into my treadmill when I'm putting in some miles and I had my son install them on my phone for me.

I'm just about the games. All the other options and features these consoles offer other than gaming don't appeal to me personally. Just give me them games and get out of my way!

dantesparda3825d ago

Im with you Flamehawk, they better rectify this. This system better do everything the PS3 did and better. Otherwise i will be crying bloody murder. This defending them business is fanboyism gone wrong. Just like when the MS fanboys defended the RROD, its pathetic and its got to stop.

miyamoto3825d ago

how many mp3 player do we already have inside the house?

kreate3825d ago

I'm not buying a ps4 to play ps1 games, indie games, play mp3, or any CDs.

Don't care. Further more something this can be solved with one firmware update, so no big deal

dantesparda3825d ago

i do care, but i agree that it can be easily fixed with a firmware update, and it better be soon

sigfredod3825d ago

I'm pro PS4 all the way, but i do care, i have a huge mp3 library on my PS3 and i want to tranfer it to my PS4, so Sony i want my mp3 playback

iHEARTboobs3825d ago

It sucks that they're cutting these features from the PS4 to steer us towards something that we'd need to pay for. It's not a deal breaker, I am still getting it primarily for games, but it does suck. It would be nice to have custom music for certain games also.

So I can't listen along to Barbie Girl when I play Killzone Shadow Fall.......lame /s

GarrusVakarian3825d ago

I use Winamp on my PC, so no. But i was shocked to see such a basic feature didn't make it at release.

Excalibur3825d ago

No, I have an MP3 player for that.

MasterCornholio3825d ago

As long as it can play games right out of the box I don't really care.

Days Gone, 5 Years Later

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows904h ago(Edited 4h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0073h ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel19892h ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw4h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno4h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy853h ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
