I'm a PlayStation guy, for me the console could be horrible, but it won't stop me from getting one

^^^That's a weird thing to say...

A very weird thing to say...

The world stupid fanboys must live in... Really don't know whether it would be a nice place to live or not

zeeshan4024d ago

Maybe, he was referring to the design of the console? Ever think about that?

Sony, seems to always make some funky design to their consoles. I am expecting the same with this console. I guess I am saying, I hope they keep with tradition.

Also, the comment the other Sony exec states, it made me think, what if they allow us to plug our PS3 into our PS4 so we can utilize some of the our files. Its just a thought, don't think they would actually do it.

kreate4025d ago

Sounds really interesting. I saw a ps3 plugged into another ps3 before.

kickerz4025d ago

Well I guess buying it would be like throwing your money out the window.....
Haha just kidding guys

Kingthrash3604025d ago

lol made my day....but how many did he want to buy?......lil guy was makin it rain..lol

I honestly think Sony should partner with Google.
Even on the vita.

Just imagine the instant improvements that would be made. I love my sony devices more than any other, but Sony is primarily a hardware company (not talking about their first party studios) and they've always been a bit behind when it comes to software. Thats the one edge I think MS has had over them. But, they had a partnership with google on a smart tv and the xperia play, why not bring it to the Ps4 and possibly vita as well?

kreate4025d ago (Edited 4025d ago )

Cuz its expensive and u lose control of ur console when another corporation is controlling the os. U also gotta pay royalty fees, Not to mention google gotta be up for it.

I do agree the idea is really good. Maybe every ps would have the google logo and when I access the psn store, it would say

'Ps store is upgrading to google play'

Deputydon4025d ago

Do you two realize that Google TV was co-developed by Sony, Logitech, and Intel and that it's based off Android and Chrome web Browser both of which are... Free to license. That's why pretty much every phone company out there has android devices and why Google barely makes money off of Android.

mochachino4025d ago

The web browser should definitely be Chrome. Wouldn't mind AndoidOS either

nukeitall4024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

I think partnering with Google isn't really Sony's deal. They always have and likely always will want to control their own eco-system.

The Playstation platform is really the only place they have been able to hold that sort of grip so I doubt that will ever happen.

Sony has to be severely beaten down by MS for them to take such a desperate measure of profit sharing when they are a content holder themselves.

It would be better for Sony to try and buy up a small software company that excels in software or lure over a bunch of MS software designers.

Gimmemorebubblez4024d ago

Prehaps Google TV, considering it was co-developed by Sony.

The George Foreman 4 design complete with drip kit

avengers19784024d ago

I don't really care what the console looks like, I care about how it performs and the games.

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4024d ago

Why isn't it the same reaction when we give our money to the great Xbox Live. A whole 4 bucks a month to give away, yet people think it's so much money.

violents4024d ago

Its not that its a lot of money, its the principle. You purchase something and half the features are locked out until you buy a subscription, sounds like a bait and switch to me, if the subscription was just to access xbox live for multiplayer purposes and such it would seem somewhat justified, but to use the built in wifi at all for netflix and stuff like that just seems wrong to be charged again to use sevices youve already paid someone for, you dont need to be using up space on thier servers to use netflix or an internt browser.

Canas20104024d ago

I don't think it's the cost of XBL. I think it's the principle that we HAVE to pay in order to play or do anything of worth with the system. Free online play would have made that $4 a month pill a lot easier to swallow.

SatanSki4024d ago

Yep, thats exactly what fanboys do. They throw they money without any thought. Not my style. Not a style at all

You have the same avatar as my girlfriend...you must be a team Jacob fan.

More power to you for actually liking Twilight but I cannot stomach to watch those movies.

OT: I am sure Sony will deliver as they usally design some slick sexy gadgets...my only wish is that they bring back the piano black, I dont give a flying bat about finger prints or dust just give me a shiny black console Sony.

IK IR Y IP T4025d ago

i think it would be nice to go back to that matte grey color ...

KrisButtar4025d ago

An announcement of a possible announcement!?

the article didn't even say if there was going to be an private event before E3. This is as bad as Square Enix coming on the stage at the PS4 event and saying they will have an anouncement for E3

Roper3164025d ago

and that SE announcement will be to make sure you tune into the TGS for a announcement

illtornworld4025d ago

lmao! you hit the nail with that but you forgot Youll tune into tgs for another announcement to wait til next E3 :-) their cycle continues

Williamson4025d ago

Looks like not showing the design of the console on the reveal date was a good thing, better to release more details on ps4 one by one.

Jaqen_Hghar4025d ago

A man agrees. Keeps the hype up and keeps overshadowing their competition.

Clover9044025d ago

That's what most people thought. Anyone who was butthurt because Sony didn't show the console in Feb was obviously shortsighted. Sony is still killing it with every announcement.

Days Gone, 5 Years Later

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows903h ago(Edited 3h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0072h ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel19891h ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw3h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno3h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak3h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy852h ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
