To Pre-Order or Not to Pre-Order a Next-Gen Console, That is the Question.

Now that E3 is but a distant memory, you could be forgiven for having a bitter taste in your mouth after the constant hype surrounding the next generation of consoles. Sure, the marketing people will tell everyone that you will have a completely miserable Christmas if you don’t have a new shiny console this year.

Are games on our current consoles showing signs of age? Most critics are calling The Last of Us “The Citizen Kane of Gaming”, so there is a strong argument that the golden era of console gaming is right now. It doesn’t take a genius to predict that this Christmas the top five selling games in the world will probably include FIFA 14, GTA V and Call of Duty: Ghosts, all of which will be available on the same console you already actually possess.

In fact,Rockstar Games recently announced that currently there ‘are no plans’ for a next-gen release (PS4/XboxOne) of GTA V and Konami also made the brave announcement that they have decided not to launch their football game P...

It's not that I will not Pre-Orders PS4, but they are all sold out!

iamnsuperman3931d ago

Wait. I expect more to come just before launch. You know build the hype/allow a safe amount available that could be made (they don't want people to over pre-order and not meat demand). Then release more when the hype has built up.

Transporter473931d ago (Edited 3931d ago )

Except Sony said reserve unlimited amount to gamestop and now they are sold out... so yeah...

lilbrat233931d ago

I already pre-ordered now I want to know release date and just play the system.

Sitdown3931d ago

Walmart, Target, and Best Buy website say you are wrong...... that is why it is so ridiculous that people are spending their money on eBay, when units can still be found.

AzureskyZ3931d ago

This generation is the folly of man. with the exception of ps2, consoles can be found pretty easily. The reason their is console shortages is because morons empower the ebay abusers to purchase multiple console-- if these guys get burned, the problem is solved.

evilhasitsway3931d ago

the problem with walmart,target, an best buy aren't launch editions which means you probley wont get it on launch through them. just saying. cause amazon and gamestop both had launch editions.

Jaqen_Hghar3931d ago

Walmart, Bestbuy, and Sony store.sony.com check them out.

305LoneWolf3931d ago

305LoneWolf3931d ago

lawgone3930d ago

Screw you guys...yankolo can get whatever the hell he wants. Jesus. All PS4 comments and then as soon as someone says they ordered an XB1 you just can't wait to jump on them. Grow up.

CKsquid3930d ago

Please inform us all as to why you would choose the x1 over the ps4.

Im waiting a month after release maybe more tonget a seeet package for a really good pric3, ie two controllers and a couple of games and psn+ all for a good deal

JessiePinkmanYo3931d ago

Shibster-I got bad news bud...if the next gen console release is anything like the last one, you won't even see the consoles in the store, nonetheless be getting "deals" on them a month after launch.

Heisenburger3931d ago

Even Skinny Pete knows better than that.

Gaming has grown ever the more popular.

These consoles will be difficult to come across.

Cost of realistic looking movement.

lucasnooker36d ago

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.

Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game

MetalGearsofWar36d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo36d ago

The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.

Zhipp36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls

jznrpg36d ago

Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games

Profchaos36d ago

I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
