With the announcement of Playstation 4 coming up (hopefully), I could not hold in my hype for any longer and decided to make a top 5 most wanted abilities that I want the Playstation 4 to have. Remember, these are only what I personally want the Playstation 4 to have so it fits the way I play my games and use my system.
5. Run all games in 1080p or higher.
When the Playstation 3 released, most games that were released ran in 720p and they still do today. At the time this was revolutionary together with the high graphics that amazed our eyes. However, today even my phone that I use every day runs in 720p, as well as all the games in it. The chance of finding a Playstation 3 that ran 1080p was low, and the ones that did resulted in having a low fps as a penalty. Which leads me to our next point..
4. Run all games in 60fps or higher.
Once again, there exists some games that run in 60 fps like the Call of Duty genre which focuses on running as fast and fluid as possible. This improves the enjoyment of fast-paced games clearly, as well as making games seem more realistic.
3. The ability to record video footage and save the file as a video file.
This is an odd request that not many people might need or want. It’s something I really want in my console though because of my playstyle. Depending on the game, when you do something amazing that rarely happens you wish you could save that moment to show to your friends. Some games do have this function built in them, like Skate. However, to be able to save it as a video file and edit it would be great think to do in situations like these. In my mind, this inbuilt recording program would run constantly once you activate it and you would be able to stop it and save the past 15-20 minutes inside the harddisk.
2. Quicker XMB by using an SSD drive made to only run the OS.
While playing a game, pressing the PS button to check your friend list or trophies always took an extra 5 seconds or so. If this movement was instant, it would save so much time. This was improved in the Vita which has a quick home button and running games. If the OS was saved in a separate SSD (like modern PCs today), it would drastically improve the speed of navigation.
And last but not least…
1. Be able to update and install games while playing other games.
I believe everyone has had that moment where they find an interesting demo in the PS store, download it and then start a game. But after playing the game, you go to check how much % has progressed and see that it has not moved an inch. Downloads get paused whenever you run a game. Not only that, but when you want to install a game you cannot do anything else at the same time and you’re forced to either wait or find something else to do. This also applies to game updates and system updates. Making them all automatic would save so many of the rage moments we all have had.
Venturing into a post-apocalyptic world, Bandai Namco resurrects the forgotten treasure, Sand Land: will it capture the magic of the Manga?
I enjoyed the demo so I'll be picking this up. The gameplay made me think of Metal Max Xeno so it sold me on it.
After the release of the horrid avatar update, Pokémon GO fans are trying to get items refunded. This has led to some getting threats of being banned.
Shift Up has released Stellar Blade day one update 1.002 on PS5, and those who preloaded the game should be notified of this update.
Do you really not know this is about the n-word or are you saying that black people can't get offended because it upsets you?
I can't believe they're censoring this game on day 1. Games just aren't the same.
/s in case it's needed. I'm fine with them making these changes that they might not have known is culturally insensitive to some people in the big ole world. But that's just me.
They are censoring something that is deemed offensive by Journalists quoting the offensive term verbatim. They are typing it intentionally in articles while in the game it's a wall texture saying Hard next to a unrelated 3d model sign that says R store. Is it offensive or not? Crazy town.
At least IGN just shows the term with a screenshot of the game. Because it's their "discovery" and to not show hypocrisy in their HUGE vitue signal.
Hard R is the not offensive way to describe an offensive term. Are they going to type "Ha$$ R" or not use the term now?
Oh, hey, I agree with you that IGN and other journalists are dumb. Not disagreement there. But, I think for a game going out to millions of people across the world? It's not something they want associated with them. It's just horrific PR.
Add to the horrific PR nightmare that this is the first major Korean-developed Sony-published title, if I'm not mistaken.
There aren't that many Korean developed titles in general. And the allowance of this only would drive a bigger fissure in east vs west especially after Final Fantasy XVI released featuring no black characters at all...
Not a good look for Sony regardless of how you personally feel about it or the people that talk about it.
I'm not saying it shouldn't have been changed. It's an easy fix and looks like it was an easy fix.
But the word HARD being too close to the letter R being a horrific PR nightmare and a indication of a racist developer is beyond crazy.
I only think they would be seen as an insensitive developer if they were informed of its implications and didn't remove it. I don't think it's a bad thing to not want to have an unintentional message in your game.
If you can't enjoy the game without knowing there are racial slurs plastered on the walls, you might actually be the snowflake.
"Hey why didn't you get that game? I heard it's got that hot Korean chick?"
"I was gonna, but then they removed a reference to the N word!"
So this could be misconstrued as a offensive slur to a group of people they patched it out no harm no foul and now your not buying the game because this effected YOU in a negative way?
I'm confused.your offended because they didn't want to offend anyone says a lot about you more then the studio.
I'm offended by the sight of blood a d violence and find violence to be very insensitive...
We can all play stupid and pretend to be offended by graphics and fake worlds.
I really enjoyed the demo.
I'm going to play through and max out on story mode then go to the challenge mode afterwards.
This game is very challenging but fun.
Especially for timing on the parrying and blocking.
Got the Deluxe Digital Edition (PS5) pre ordered.
:)
Abilities?
Like tempest slash? I want a PS4 to do a tempest slash...
On topic here: I'm pretty sure the SSD thing is only an option and even then, not for the OS (that's expensive to put SSDs in, even with the lowering prices).
I hear the PS4 is going to have some playback or share function where it records the last 15 minutes of gameplay at all times.
attatch to my ps3 and form ps voltron.
I'm pretty sure the problem with the XMB is software related, The OS is on flash storage right?
Running games in 1080p should pretty much be standard now, especially with how far video cards have come since PS3 was released, and that most PC gamers are now playing easily at that resolution. With the industry very slowly moving to 4K, I don't think that will be remotely possible at this time with the current hardware available.
I am happy that you did not say Cross game chat. Not that I don't want it, but it's been over said and we all know why they can't.
Other than that this is a good list with the exception of the video recording. This would be an awesome feature but the amount of power it would take to both record and project a game at 1080p and 60fps would be unreal. I have a PC that can run BF3 on Ultra 60+ fps no problem, but when I try and record at the same time it staggers down to 24-30fps (without trying to compress the video files), and that's running hardware 30x more powerful than whats in the PS3. The PS3/4 would have to be a Behemoth of a machine to do that. Just saying.
