The controller placement is fine. The D-pad is okay where it is. While there are some games that would benefit, I find the D-pad usage in PS3 quite good.

I had the prototype in my hands (not the one they showed, the older one) and when you pick up the current DS3 you get that feeling of wondering how you could have use it that long. It's leaps better than DS3. I don't know what it is. Maybe weight, subtle changes in shape, I even like the sticks more. It just feels much better. The track pad has a nice click to it, same like the buttons, almost better. I'm glad they left the sticks where they are. I like them there.

5 worst concerns ever.

Here its 5 of my own
1) Faulty hardware
2)PSN trophies gone
3) Besides been powerfull, I see no innovation at all, lets hope the cards are lay out at E3
4)Plenty of ram with slow cpu
5) No bc and same old controller and probably blocking used games
6) The rival blows them out of the sky high with offerings
7)The hardware its been delay
8) The design looks like a yugo
9) Insert comment here------------------------
Peace.

The only one that I actually agree with, besides the positives obviously, is Sony using Ustream over TwitchTV. Twitch is getting pretty big, and I have hardly ever, EVER, used Ustream. But we'll see if that changes with the PS4.

BlackTar1874068d ago

yea twitch is what i use . I think it would be better if they went with twitch myself

ThanatosDMC4068d ago (Edited 4068d ago )

Really weird that they didnt use Twitch. Maybe they cant settle a deal with each other? I'm browsing Ustream right now and their gaming section sucks and I cant browse based on game titles.

KrisButtar4068d ago

I'm disappointed in the ps4 in someways, as all these features with gaikai are great don't get me wrong and even if I bought a ps4 day 1, gaikai doesn't do anything for me as I don't have Internet offered in my area, and so the "share button" will do nothing for me. I was looking forward to the new system and it being backwards compatible(would have bought it for that feature alone,before they would remove the hardware to make it cheaper) but I don't even get that. So the only value I see in the system is playing ps4 games, which likely will be worth it in the long run, and I will own one at some point. Just it's unlikely to be within the first 2 years. I'll wait until the is a large selection of games

BlackTar1874068d ago

are you going to throw your PS3 out the window as soon as you open your ps4?

KrisButtar4068d ago

I actually own 3 ps3's and I would've done the same thing I did with my ps2's(had 3 of those to) which is donate them to group homes or to the hospital for sick kids, which is called the IWK here in nova scotia

theBAWSE4068d ago

Well you can donate two ps3s ...in sure the kids will be happy

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5063d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5063d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5063d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
