Currently it is a bad risk to take.

Why not just wait for PS4's to come back into stock? Better then shooting yourself in the foot I guess.

Mister_Dawg3769d ago

Bad risk?

And PS4 is the way to go? I hope you haven't based your argument on the PS4 launch titles, which show nothing of the supposed 50% power advantage!

MestreRothN4G3769d ago (Edited 3769d ago )

Yeah, because Forza's fake shadows and DR3's sub-30 fps doesn't say anything about the powah, right?

Omran3769d ago

the power of the cloud :)

JetsFool35003769d ago

You just answered your own argument its only launch we still have plenty of years to find out which console is truly more powerful

Prime1573769d ago

Some of us see the difference, obviously not you.

GrizzliS19873769d ago

how about the multiplats that all run 1080p on the ps4 and proven to be better looking? not even gonna mention a year and beyond from now, because it will be a slaughter.

MysticStrummer3769d ago

"I hope you haven't based your argument on the PS4 launch titles, which show nothing of the supposed 50% power advantage!"

He could easily base his argument on MS's past. Dropping XB1 (the first of it's name) support, starting strong with 360 then fading more and more into Kinectland toward the end, spending massive amounts of money on ads and timed exclusive content instead of more games, the attempted DRM policies so many people didn't like that it caused MS to drastically change their XB1 strategy (at least for now).

As for the power advantage, the differences in resolution on a multiplat like Call of Duty are a definite red flag. Last gen, 360 got the better of multiplats and much was made of small differences. So far this gen, the differences are bigger and they're in PS4's favor. PS4 is both more powerful and easier to develop for, so that trend will continue.

TomShoe3769d ago

It's pretty obvious which console you should get. The one which appeals to you more.

Launch titles are virtually meaningless when it comes to getting a console going forward. Look into 2014 and 2015 and decide which console has games that appeal to you more. Also keep in mind the advantages one has over the other. Do you have a diverse library of games and enjoy indie titles and JRPGs? Get a PS4. Are you a primarily FPS gamer and use your console for lots of media purposes? Get an X1.

If you can't decide for yourself, then just get what your friends get :P

thekhurg3769d ago

I see the difference.

Killzone looks better than anything on the Xbone.
BF4 runs at a higher resolution, and a more stable framerate.
CoD runs at a higher resolution.
AC4 runs at a higher resolution.
DR3 runs sub-30fps
Ryse runs below 30fps, often hitting below 20fps.

Launch titles alone are proving that the console, even in its very young age is already easier to take advantage of from a hardware standpoint. It's proving that Sony has built a far more powerful console for gaming.

On top of that, you have confirmed articles stating that even other functionality works better on the PS4. The browser is faster, game installations are faster, voice commands are more responsive, etc...

pyramidshead3768d ago

While that 50% is certainly subjective, the PS4 has already proved it is more capable at running game software games with the superior multiplatform games which seem to be dominating sales(on both consoles).

It's a no brainer. Exclusives and games in general will come down to personal taste. Only insecure fanboys like to list wars and say one console has no games. Especially when people seem to be buying the one with 'no games', right? Irony, ;).

lolCHILLbro3768d ago

Risk with Xbox One? its an amazing console and i have seen BF4 on ps4 and it doesnt look one bit different than on Xbox One, guys its a very capable gaming system

TheGreatAndPowerful3768d ago

Killzone, BF4, Infamous, Resogun, War Thunder... hell even COD:G(1080p/60fps+) shows off the raw power of the PS4, compare that to the weak sh*t that's the Xbone which maxes out at 720p.

mp12893768d ago

Article: Cloud=Cell Processor....?????

ZombieKiller3768d ago (Edited 3768d ago )

At least we can curse online.

Microsoft LITERALLY took away your freedom of speech, all while you pay for it and you defend that?!

If COD is 1080p on PS4 and 720p on xbox 720(p) and Activision and Microsoft have been in bed for the last 7 years, that has something to say in it's own. I think even Helen Keller can see that one.

Yourhead is "in the cloud" a bit too much.

Ju3768d ago (Edited 3768d ago )

"Launch line up"...that's why Xboxers bring up Titanfall in ever of those discussions, right?

sorry you are very wrong ,it must be decided on games ,there is no doubt for now MS is having better games and their future anouncced games are more than waht sony has announced ,yeah at e3 sony will reveal more but MS will also do it they will also reveal more gams and there is no doubt sony is having 14 studios and MS is having 24 studios which all are working on new projects for xb1 ,but most of them are new but it is only just a step ,when games will come out i believe they will be great becasue of people working there and MS is recruiting more and more people evry day ,yes there is alsomost 10 more job places announced from MS studios ,they also needs more games and they are on their way as for sony they were always great and will be great but games and amazing games will be on both ,if people cant buy both at once ,i will recoomend them to buy at once and then other and now its all on them to waht they buy first ,i will recoment waht they like more ps4 or xb1 , by any one of them and then switch to other next year.i buied both buy pre order ,i cant miss halo 5 ,uncharted,quntum break, infamous ss,order 1886 ,titanfall,sunset overdrive,fables ,project spark and many more .thats why i buied both.

Prime1573769d ago

It's YOUR opinion that ms has better games.

It's MY opinion that Sony has better games.

eliasg3769d ago

and the XBOX ONE controller is years ahead of the DS3.

pyramidshead3768d ago

Ah, stealth trolling again ;).
"there is no doubt for now MS is having better games"

ps3 was trash, hard to develop on, crappy games & a really poor user interface.

this gen xbone is hard to develop on but it's not as bad as the cell.

Incipio3769d ago

PS3 had crappy games? What in the actual F is wrong with you?

pyramidshead3768d ago

Definitely not as bad, but the Cell was powerful, the XB1 architecture holds no held back power that the Cell kept locked up for devs to finally work out.

Rageanitus3769d ago

how is it a bad risk? I have a ps4, but I am all out of games to play with.

At the moment the xbox has a bit more going for it but less future potential.

MestreRothN4G3769d ago

PSN, please.

Are you already done with Resogun? Ac4? Trine 2? BF4? Warframe?

Have you even tried they?

Mister_Dawg3769d ago (Edited 3769d ago )

I'm bored of this idea that the xb1 has less potential. Everything about the xb1 shouts of variety. Variety in the way it can be used and interfaced with. Variety in the media it will be able to play. Variety in the games, much more than with the 360 where I agree fps and driving games were more prevalent.

MS is really going hard for games this generation by building up loads more studios dedicated to games.

Just because the PS4 is more powerful doesn't make its future brighter. Many of my pc gaming friends have way more powerful rigs than me, yet I can still play the same games they can. On the odd game, like metro or crysis3, I have to drop some AA but so what, the gameplay experience is still king and the game still looks totally amazing.
XB1 games will look fantastic and so what if they have to drop a little resolution to achieve a playable frame rate. So what!

MestreRothN4G3768d ago

Stopped reading at Crysis 3.

Rageanitus3768d ago (Edited 3768d ago )

@ Mestre
I play alot more games not just on PS4 ( I do not keep my gaming experience isolated to single platforms)
Resogun is an ok game that feels more for the VITA
AC4 and BF4 are MULTIPLATFORM and are better on PC IMO
Warframe blech!

Plus trine 2 has been out on PC and now is 4$ on steam.

MestreRothN4G3768d ago (Edited 3768d ago )

After plating Resogun, I can say that only Trine 2 stands on its quality level: Very very close to flawless.

I have played almost all new gen titles and am still having a blast with it. (Exceptions: Knack, CoD and NBA)

christocolus3768d ago

Someone picks an xbx one over ps4 and your comment is that its a bad risk? But i guess to you choosing the ps4 over the xbx one isnt a bad risk too? Right? Cant people just be open minded and accept others choices?..if you want a ps4 go for it and if you want an xbx one pls go for it..its every gamers damn choice and everyone has their preferences ...damn.

d0nni33768d ago

Neither purchase is a risk at all, games will come for both systems with something significant that will make it stand apart from it's competition.

To say Xbone won't shine in it's way is mindless and quite frankly pathetic.

The PS4 will have it's quality and anyone saying other wise is deluded

I'm with you, we need to learn to respect each others choices but it's not going to happen. For some reason the internet decends into bitching and complaining where everyone seems to have to justify there life choices by trashing the opposing view.

I love my PS4, it's awesome. I don't own an Xbox one and my justification is my friends are playstation owners so to enjoy games with them i have to play on playstion and i'm happy with that. When the games come for the Xbox One i want i will buy one and get the same amount of enjoyment as i do from my playstation.

when it comes down to it, we are all pretty much getting the exact same experiance but we still insist on slinging mud, it's world we get when we don't have to be held accountable from what we say, this is an almost anonymous platform, if we were all stood face to face i'm sure a lot of people would change there tone and would be a lot more acceptable and the ones that weren't would be kicked to the corner to have there little war amoungst themselves.

joab7773768d ago

First off...stop with the launch title absurdity. As if Forza Microtransaction 5 or more zombies is a reason for me to buy a console. I did pre order an xbox one and if I hadn't got the last ps4 at walmart, I wouldn't hav cancelled it, and I would hav been happy. But, not b/c of xbone's launch games. Yes, I got a ps4 and I am buried in games right now...and I tried dcuo and its amazing on next gen. No, I would have been content with an xbone b/c I like the tech and I plan on buying one eventually. The prices r not bad compared to last gen and xbone does have some good exclusives launching in 2014. So, while its always a risk, especially if ur friends r on psn, u can b happy. And save up and when u can, grab a ps4. At least right now u can play all the multiplat games in glorious fashion (though ac4 on ps4 is stunning). And if u love zombies and ancient rome, u will have something to playwhile u wait for titanfall.

hazardman3768d ago

Alot of game seem to have microtransactions not only Forza. There is always a risk when buying any product.

Read the article. The author returned a PS4 for the Xbox One.

LeCreuset3769d ago

Just goes to show what poor judgment he has—and that's not even talking console preference. Why would you return a PS4 when you can resell it for more and use the profits to buy extra stuff for your new system? It doesn't make much sense, much like the logical leaps he takes in the article.

CYCLEGAMER3769d ago

Thats what I did, I sold my ps4 for one hell of a profit. Basically got my xb1 for $300. I will get another ps4 when there are more next gen games available.

fishy13769d ago

used ps4 sells for considerably less. Who wants a system already registered to someone else, and lose system warranty.

LeCreuset3769d ago

@fishy1

You won't lose the warranty. The system is still under warranty. I find it hard to believe you couldn't get at least $500 on a PS4 that has been used for less than a week. I mean, we have people buying photos of consoles off of ebay for that price.

DigitalRaptor3766d ago

LOL. Goddamn.

"But I will see you again in a couple of years, when hopefully the PS4 also heads into Uncharted waters."

He says he's waiting for the next Uncharted. Common sense and logic points to a November 2014 release for that. So that's not a couple of years. That's less than one. Why would anyone have such lack of foresight?

fullmetal2973769d ago

Certainly think so with both consoles. The sales are decent and Microsoft will not give up support, you will get to play all the latest games. Xbox Live is still a breeze to use so you be disappointed.

TrueJerseyDevil3769d ago

Not a bad choice at launch because the Xbox One's launch lineup is a little better, but in the Long run Q3/4 and 2014 will be a better sony exclusive year in my opinion

wolfsaviorzx3769d ago

Depends honestly both look pretty weak. Depends if Microsoft ups their game. First 3/4 years of 360 made the PS3 look like shit than they just give up while Sony was pumping titles all over the place.

MethCupcakes3769d ago

I thought I would never be able to see It before I died.. Someone actually to use "Than" incorrectly. Thank you sweet prince I can now rest easy.

CYCLEGAMER3769d ago

I wish people would stop trying to drag the xb1 games in with the ps4 lacking exclusives. Just because the ps4 doesn't have any exclusives right now doesn't mean that both are weak.

If the ps4 had DR3, Ryse, Killer Instinct, and Killzone, as exclusives, would you guys be saying the same thing, or would you just say the xb1 has no games?

JetsFool35003769d ago

@melman nope because all those launch titles are garbage

CYCLEGAMER3769d ago

@jetsfool
I am willing to put money on the fact that you don't own all of those games. If you did, you wouldn't have made that comment. I have owned them, and I can tell you that they are not "shit" even killzone is a decent game, although the story is boring.

TrueJerseyDevil3769d ago

Don't get me wrong i love and intend to play all the playstation exclusives because i got the ps4 first but Xbox has some good games as well

SLUG3769d ago

just wow i cant say it any better then this best console is xbox one its a win for me

LeCreuset3769d ago

I hope you can say it better than that, because his argument in a nutshell is, "Sony did a great job realizing the potential of their last console, so I'm going to trade in their new console and get an Xbox."

MethCupcakes3769d ago

Oh my god! Two in one article!! What a coincidence. You managed to use "then" incorrectly and the guy about you used "than" incorrectly. Thank you guys.

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

rlow111h ago

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos8h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos6h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje6h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Rebel_Scum9h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum5h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola4h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum4h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola3h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum3h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad6h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

CobraKai5h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK5h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
