I buying both consoles regardless of microsofts DRM.

xHeavYx3982d ago

the title should read "you'd be crazy not to get a PS4"

irepbtown3982d ago

You'd be a Xbox One for not getting a PS4.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

Ps4: More powerful & $100 less.

This should be a big sony ad.

nix3982d ago

a quote from MCV:

"A vote for Xbox is a vote for a change to whole way the video games industry works. It’s a vote for closed corporate ecosystems, publisher power and eroded consumer rights. A vote for Sony is a vote for people who like to play video games."

this is why you should get a PS4.

Me too. MS has too many good exclusives lined for the XB1. Im a sony fan but MS has announced more interesting exclusives for their system than sony did for theirs.

xHeavYx3982d ago

Care to name a few? 'Cause I smell bull

Gimmemorebubblez3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

"Im a sony fan"..........really Mika?

But MS did show more games and I was impressed and I am sure you were too but just admit you are definitely not a Sony fan.

Baka-akaB3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

I'd be glad if he was switching sides personally . His troll tirades were mostly disservice to the ps3 or vita . Not looking forward to more of the same next gen

irepbtown3982d ago

'Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios announced that they have 30 PlayStation 4 games under development of which 12 are brand new IPs' - -Mika-, you don't want to troll like that again.

DivineAssault 3982d ago

Are you NUTTS?!?! What exclusives were better? Sony murdered M$ in every category imaginable including exclusives..

theBAWSE3982d ago

LMFAOOOOOOOOO @mika... You've been telling everyone sony will implement DRM measures and defending Microsoft since the xbone was unveiled

Now your a Sony fan? Naaaaa you just feel like the plum you are..

-Mika-3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

@ Heavy

Titanfall
Dead rising 3
Crimson dragon
Sunset overdrive
D4

PS4 exclusives im interesting in

Infamous
Killzone- If multiplayer is like KZ3.

@ gimmie
I am a sony fan. It the only console brand I don't hesitate to buy but they really disappointed me at their conference. There was just no good exclusives announced.

@iREP
Those exclusives weren't announced at the conference so that means they're not coming out this year or early next year. MS on the other hand has alot of exclusives that interest me come at launch or in Q1-Q2 of 2014.

Dir_en_grey3982d ago

Cut the BS Mika I've seen your name and comment these past few days, all you do is troll for MS.

All these MS paid stealth marketing rumors make me think you've gotta be one cuz even a MS fayboy can't be this delusional after the conferences yesterday

jjb19813982d ago

The only one worthy was Titan Fall.

Rockstar3982d ago

Did anyone else feel that Titanfall was COD with mechs? I kinda got that impression. Graphics were nice but it's not my type of game.

Or am I wrong?

titletownrelo3982d ago

the majority of the games they showed were multi-platform, and they paid devs to only show them on Xbox One at E3 because they knew they would look better on PS4.

plaZeHD3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

Please don't buy Xbox One. We have to show publishers that we are the one that controls the industry and not them. If we become very loose, they will bring up bullcrap policies that are even worse.
Just don't do it for gamers sake.

whoyouwit043982d ago

DRM does not bother me, I buy all my games new anyways. And, the people I game with always play at my house or my brother in law house. However, I get what you are saying, but I wont fight for something that I really don't care about and will have no effect on me.

Wizziokid3982d ago

Why You Should Buy Sony’s PS4?

3 points

+ More Powerful
+ $100 Cheaper
+ You own your games

Brazz3982d ago

Maybe i end buying X-1 someday, but sure as hell i will buy PS4 first! My priority is:
Ps4 for sure, first in my list > Wii U (Price drop to $250 or less...) > X-1... don't know, depends on what Ms have for X-1 future....

Jdoki3982d ago

Yeah, this is my thinking too.

MS showed some games I like the look of, but I'll definitely be waiting until a couple of price cuts and to see how the DRM thing pans out. So realistically I can't see me getting an XB1 until maybe year 4 or 5 of this cycle.

I've already pre-ordered the PS4. Nothing to do with DRM, I just know they will deliver the same way they did for PS3 - and the lower price is a bonus.

snake_eater3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

Great games, great price, no kinect forced down my throat, no DRM bullshit, i can do whatever i want with the games i BUY.

everyone who supports xbox 1 or is thinking about getting one... you should be ashamed of yourself

romancer3982d ago

It's one thing for you to prefer the PS4 -- but there's no justification for telling others who are interested in the XBox One that they "should be ashamed" for having different gaming interests (including what is often a good group of friends on Xbox Live).

I'll be buying both systems and am prepared to enjoy the best that each console has to offer.

jcnba283982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

Off Topic: Can someone explain to me why everyone is on 5 or more bubbles now? Does N4G refresh them every year or something?

Edit: Cool thanks guys.

avengers19783982d ago

I think they reset the bubbles a few days ago so the E3 conversations can heat up... they will be busy taking bubbles away for the rest of the month

Nitrowolf23982d ago

Eh they must have pulled another reset, no Idea TBH I smell an update is coming XD

GreenRanger3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

@ jcnba28
N4G are removing the bubble system, so they reset everyone's bubbles before the change.

stonecold33982d ago

im only on 1 bubble while people like power green power all have 5 .back to comment im already purchased a ps4 already .

GreenRanger3982d ago

@ stonecold3
Are you sure you only have one bubble? Your profile says you have five.

Try to make a second comment in here.

Diablo IV is Available on PlayStation Cloud Gaming - Beats Xbox to the Punch

Diablo IV is now available to play via PlayStation Cloud Gaming! Still not available to Play on Xbox Cloud Gaming.

We ran our script again and found 15 other PS5 games (a lot of popular ones!) that got PS5 Cloud Gaming support within the last month as well.

Not for me, I'm 100% physical media all of the time.

jwillj2k410m ago

I hate that I have to keep calling this out, but your physical disks mean nothing if the game code attempts to connect to a server prior to playing.

Hugodastrevas5m ago

And that happens when? I'm playing completely offline here, stellar Blade to be more precise.
I'm sorry but I've never run into that imaginary problem you're talking about, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it has never happened to me.

spicelicka3h ago

So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.

MrNinosan3h ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka51m ago

That's streaming off your PS5, not from the cloud. This is specifically referring to cloud gaming.

CrimsonWing692h ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto1h ago

Sony doesn't yet have a web or app-based solution to stream games off their cloud service, the closest you may be able to get would be Remote Play if they allow cloud streaming during a Remote session.

And yes this applies to the Portal too.

anast1h ago

Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.

UnbreakableAlex1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?

jwillj2k48m ago

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game. I had to use the mailbox cheats to keep it interesting.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers11d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken10d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g11d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing11d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H911d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola11d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66911d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle11d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg11d ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos11d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola11d ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
