Gamer-rider.com writes: "A week or so ago, I wrote an article questioning the validity of some of the criticism coming from some members of the PC crowd towards the PlayStation 4. Since that time, I’ve read hundreds of comments (from this website and many others) and articles on the matter, and none of them offered any real convincing reasons as to why they think that the console will be trash. The reoccurring theme stemming from these comments was that “technology will keep moving forward, and the PS4 will eventually fall behind.” Something that Captain Obvious himself would roll his eyes at before removing his hat for a face palm."
IGN: "If our two-hour hands-on preview is any indication of the rest of the game, then Visions of Mana's fresh take on battle and class systems not only gives it the potential to meet the success of the originals but possibly even the chance to surpass them."
It's balancing old and new, then, and embracing a sort of breezy retro simplicity. Pleasing as that is, though, it so far feels a little shallow by comparison to other genre heavy-hitters. Despite moving to an open world and offering sumptuous presentation, Visions of Mana clings to the past and lacks truly fresh ideas of its own. It's a welcome return and a fun, bubbly, frivolous experience, but the Mana series looks set to remain in the shadow of Square Enix's premiere franchises for now.
Hopes are high as Open Roads allows us to take in a Game Pass, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC road trip.
fanboys are desperate to find reasons to dismiss the PS4. but there really isnt solid ground to do so. we hear things like
-----------
"they didnt show the physical console"
and? are you that worried about the aesthetics of the CASE that the console will come in? are you afraid it's going to mess up your feng shui? get out of here with that
"it could be like the PS3. strong but hard to develop for"
did you black out for half the conference? their biggest point was that it would be easy to develop for. they are using an x86 processor.
"it will be overpriced"
well, all the rumors place it at $430-530. that isnt too crazy. after all, blueray isnt nearly as expensive now. also, price alone is not what killed the PS3 launch.
"its the same milked IPs, infamous and killzone"
yeah, and driveclub, knack, the witness, destiny, deep down, and watchdogs..... moron
"no backwards compatibility"
because clearly we are buying a PS4 primarily to play ps1, ps2, and ps3 games. riigght
"the conference wasn't lively enough"
yeah. all we had was in depth details on console specs, features and games. **** all that nonsense. what it needed was Usher. that is what we watch a gaming conference to see
-----------
you may think im making some of these up, but you can go on articles, on youtube, forums, and see people spewing this nonsense. it's crazy.
Impressive hardware, decent feature set (except for that facebook crap) and it's built in the post-Kutaragi era.
The PS4 will be Sony's best console to date. It's like a strong PC without all the hassle that comes with a PC.
PS4 crafted by the hands of God aka Sony.
make.believe
Once the beast is unleashed it can't be contained.
