Ten reasons to skip next-gen consoles this year

As many of us have learned the hard way, launch console hardware tends to be riddled with issues, and as we saw at the start of the current generation, many of the so-called next-gen games at launch were just older games with a lick of HD paint.

While these are both valid reasons to reconsidering picking up an Xbox One or Playstation 4 at launch, there is one much bigger reason to put off your purchase until next-year.

I dare say that this was a thought of mine even before I read this article, except the 'this year' part becomes 'a year'. A lot of those games in the article will be bought by me, and I already have a few games that haven't been completed yet, perhaps I'll let the first wave of next gen through and the buy a PS4 next spring/summer. But that does mean waiting until next spring/summer! Infamous Second Son looks too good to wait for! Aaaarrgggghhhhhh.

HundredProofSam3934d ago

Infamous Second Son does look great, but it isn't a launch title. Spring/Summer 2014 I think, so it suits your plan perfectly.

RedHawkX3934d ago

dude infamous second son comes out in january or febuary lol thats what the devs said and it makes sense because thats when people get there tax returns money in. people will be wanting new games early next year because all these launch titles that will sell like hotcakes will be beaten by them by then.

AliTheSnake13934d ago

I'm getting mine next summer.
I gotta catch up with games on ps3.
By then They'll fix any bug they find in hardware or firmware, and hopefully have a 1TB console.And games would be a bit cheaper.

Mainman3934d ago

Yeah, you are not gonna want to buy BF4 on current gen console's. The 64 player thing is kind of a big deal in my opinion.

die_fiend3934d ago

1 reason to skip them is if you hate amazing graphics

RedHawkX3934d ago

you shouldnt skip the ps4 but you should skip the xbox one and wait for a price drop because it costs to much and not that many people are gonna get that console because its shipping less units. it just make sense to get a console with a low install base like the xbox one will have. you get the console that everyone is gonna have first so you can actually have people to play against in online matches and a big communnity.

GribbleGrunger3934d ago (Edited 3934d ago )

Why are we getting these articles all of a sudden? It's been the same for ALL Sony gaming platforms including the PSP ... You know, the ten year promise. Every console/handheld gets supported even after the new console/handheld releases. I don't see why it should be related to the X1 either.

Mounce3934d ago

I'll give you V reasons to not skip this generation.

Fuckin' Metal Gear Solid V

and if GTAV goes PS4/X1, I'd rather play it on them than on my laptop or PS3.

Biggest reason is there are still so many games coming to ps3, GTA 5 and beyond to name a few.

die_fiend3934d ago

You've named a couple, not a few

Hicken3934d ago

It's far less than many, and even less than some, so it IS a few.

Baba19063934d ago

never skip neveeeeeer!!! =D cant wait.

Gamers_United3934d ago

I will skip PS4 anyday no loss really

theWB273934d ago

GTA 5 is pretty much the only reason. MAYBE Splinter cell. I always prefer to have the extra lick of power the next console offers during the transitional period.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
