ACEMANWISE4303d ago

1) Unique Gameplay

3) Fun Multiplayer
4) Deeper Gameplay Mechanics and Strategy

6) Gamer Oriented features and apps.

pandaboy4303d ago

so in other words you wan't developers to make better games.

b163o14303d ago

Lol cause in the end, no matter how great of a console it is, it isn't S**t with out good games imo..

ABizzel14303d ago

1. Better/ New Game experiences
2. Improved Online functionality
3. Gaikai support that eases crossplay between PS4 / PS3 / PSVita / Mobile
4. New OS (PS Home v2 would be great if they can make it seamless, and gamer oriented)
5. Next Generation Hardware
6. Continued Strong 1st party support, and PS2-like 3rd party support

It is a good list, and it addresses a lot of the issues I have with the current PS3. The voice chat is just atrocious, but I think the PS4 will not offer backwards compatibility.

If its true that Sony abandoned the Cell, they wont be able to offer compatibility with PS3 games. I think the reason they bought a Cloud gaming service is so that they can offer PS3 games through that, at a price of course.

As long as its in my price range of $300-$399, I'll be happy to invest in a PS4.

HammadTheBeast4303d ago

Your right about investment. Wit the amount of free games for the ps3 right now, including the upcoming Dust 514, the highass price from before is somewhat justified.

ChunkyLover534303d ago

Well any gaming console is an investment, I'm a gamer and games are my hobby. That is how I look at it anyway.

paddystan4303d ago

The one and most important only: Focus on the core and don't go Microsoft style and follow their lead.

Tacklebait4303d ago

I'm afraid if they don't cater to a wide audience they will be left in the dust.

That doesn't mean they shouldn't keep delivering on the exclusives.

HammadTheBeast4303d ago

But most Xbox users hate Kinekt, and never use other "typical home family" features. Also, Xbox Live is a huge ripoff, with online play restricted unles you buy it, as well as Netflix and services free overall on other consoles.

ps3 do NOT!!!! cater to a wide audience, only!! to CORE gamers. if that was not true i would have more ps3 games than Gran Turismo 5,need for speed "The RUN",NEED FOR SPEED HOTPURSUIT, RATCHET AN CLANK TOD,QFB,ACIT,A41...MILITARY GAMES I DONT PLAY...Sony left ol school gamers behind.

@ ziggurcat
if ps4 price be 500 plus tax 638.00 which i doubt..that would hurt sony tremendously. I believe sony would not be foolish to release another high-price console. ps4 should be competitive with wii-U price 299-349

DivineAssault 4303d ago

I didnt see any complaints about the games though & Isnt that what the system is for? Some of those issues are far worse elsewhere..

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC1h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.

BeHunted2d ago

It's fake. There's no factual evidence other than his own made up specs.

Hereandthere2d ago

What were the specks Sony was afraid of showing?

Shikoku2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Digital foundry put a video out saying what he leaked was exactly what they also knew about the PS5 PRO. So no it's not just stuff he made up

Babadook72d ago (Edited 2d ago )

If it’s fake what copyright does MLID infringe upon?

😂

andy852d ago

Aye because they'd go to the effort of copyright claiming it if it didn't exist 🙃😂 you'd have to be a special kind to be thinking its not a thing by now

Cacabunga2d ago

They need to reveal it with uncharted killzone or a heavy hitter like this

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

U mean the specs that we'll established digital foundry which said these are the actual specs published a video on 2 weeks ago I mean they are only one of most trusted sites for tech information but they just made up a video for the sake of it

Christopher2d ago

I would love for it all to be fake, but lots of people are saying they've seen/heard the same thing. But, man, we 100% don't need mid-gen upgrades when we're failing hard to optimize current hardware.

if I recall Sony lowered sales expectations for PS5 earlier this year. if that is the case we won't hear anything about a Pro until next year or shortly before/when it's dropping. After all, if the Pro was dropping this year/fiscal year they wouldn't have lowered expectations.

As for squashing rumors. Yeah, shit like this prevents potential buyers from adopting now, just like slim rumors in the past. It only makes sense to keep things under wraps from a business perspective. Despite living in a technological age of unfettered access to information we don't need to know whats going on behind closed doors be that at Sony, Nintendo, MS, or amongst any development studios. When the steak is done we shall feast.

JackBNimble1d 23h ago

By the time games are actually made to take advantage of the pro spec's the ps6 will be released or close to it.

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro

Ironmike2d ago

Pro won't lessen sales sames ps4 pro never and the ps4 pro was more relevant at the time cos move to 4k this not needed

RaidenBlack2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Yea, my brother got his PS4 (coz of a good deal) after the PS4 Pro's release.

darthv722d ago

^^same here. I got a base 4 for only $100 off a guy who bought the Pro. then a few months later I found a guy on craigslist selling a pro for $100 because it was left behind by his former roommate who moved out. That was the beginning of my obsession to buy up the different variants of the PS4 that were released.

As of now I am really only missing the 500m one and the gold slim but otherwise I have pretty much all the other retail ones. https://consolevariations.c...

crazyCoconuts2d ago

Anyone with 4K that appreciates 60fps is gonna disagree about it not being needed.
DLSS is a god send for Nvidia, and there's been nothing like it for AMD...yet ...

DeadlyFire2d ago

They will announce it around E3 timeframe about May-June whenever they do a showcase for the year.

neutralgamer19922d ago

Just announce it this thing will sell well

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I don't think it will pll still haven't seen the potential of ps5 yet

Cacabunga2d ago

agreed, but it might sell if they announce some 1st party games to lead the way. if people see the difference with the base version they can move on. for my sake I am still gaming mainly on PS4 (still not finished with RDR2 due to lack of gaming time). I have a huge backlog on PS5 I am hoping to get into.

mark3214uk2d ago

why? game makers havnt even come close to maxing out current spec yet, were getting al lthese new TFlops and game maker are making crappy remakes not worthy of the ps3

Minute Man 7212d ago

The guts of the 5 and X are 5 years old

fr0sty2d ago

People keep saying that, yet we still have games running at near HD resolutions, 30fps, and ray tracing features turned off.

PRIMORDUS2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣

LoveSpuds2d ago

With kind of analysis and advice, you could be a lawyer for Trump!🤣

tronyx122d ago

As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
