Opinion: Why The PS4 Is The Right Choice

NZGamer writes why you should buy a PS4 for this upcoming Holiday season.

ZHZ903840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

PS4TW, what else can I say other than that. :)

EDIT:
@xHeavYx, don't also forget the talent of Sony's 1st Party Studios too.

xHeavYx3840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

More powerful yet cheaper, gimmicks are not the main selling point, but great games. Really talented first party studios that offer a wide variety of games, something that helps Sony not to rely on timed exclusives. There are many reasons why the PS4 is the right choice when it comes to gaming

DragonKnight3840d ago

Don't forget dedicated servers. Dedicated servers are so new and all the rage these days*

*Disclaimer: If you ignore that the PS3 had dedicated servers.

DA_SHREDDER3840d ago

Go best stuff will be coming down the roads in the future. But I can't wait till KZ:SF, especially if they go beyond the operations mode, and jet packs and mech suits. I wanna fly more futuristic vehicles.

Ezz20133840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

i know every one can have his opinion and right to choose what he want and i really respect that

but i can't think of a simple reason that would make me buy X1 over ps4 which is
100$ cheaper
better hardware
sony will support it even after ps5 come out
sony's 1st/2nd party studios
ps+ that offer tons of free games
party chat is free
Gaikai cloud
among alot of features

ps4 is the console with no disadvantages at all
just dvantages
and any one who disagree
feel free to point what i said was wrong

PoSTedUP3840d ago

SOCOM IS COMING BACK. : D

The_Con-Sept3840d ago

Yeah socom h hour! Yeah! gonna get my ps4 on day one and wait for socom.

CraigandDayDay3840d ago

The PS4 is the right choice for me.

Cross Game Chat is a console feature, not a service feature. Everyone can use it, not just paid subscribers, unlike with Xbox.

Netflix can be used without a subscription to PS+, unlike with XBox.

ETc. ETc. ETc.

Eonjay3840d ago

Considering that most games will be on both consoles, the PS4 is the easy choice with its cheaper price and better specs.

Rimeskeem3840d ago

You forgot how Sony stands up for gamers and saved this gen of consoles

mewhy323839d ago

IMO Sony 1st party talent is the real reason why PS4 is the right choice. Rest ( consumer friendly policies, no forced camera, powerful hardware, price to name a few) all come second to their 1st party talent.

I don't know how many have noticed that ND, Sony's one of the biggest studios, is not even launching game during PS4 launch window. That tells you how big Sony Worldwide Studios really is. After amazing TLOU, I just can't imagine what awesome stuff ND can bring to next-gen. (hope Uncharted 4 with dramatically different play style e.g. open world)

LOL...someone in this thread is on "disagree" rampage. I wonder who could that be? :D

xHeavYx3840d ago

I love getting phantom disagrees but no facts as of why

nategrigs3840d ago

This is true, but the likelyhood of future third party games being better on the ps4 is another huge selling point for me.

The_Con-Sept3840d ago

Too many games coming out even now for ps3. It really makes it hard to save for the ps4 when all the late dead ringers have suddenly come about.

Section83839d ago

To be honest I like Uncharted just the way it is.

PS4 is the right choice because....

Have you been gaming for the past 20 years?
Have Sony EVER not delivered?

dcj05243840d ago

Launch of ps3. But then Warhak came out and blew my mind!

The PS4 Is The Right Choice - Fact

black0o3840d ago

cheaper
more power
biggest/the best in house devs
long term support
PS+
and legacy

its simple logic the PS4 is the right choice but that doesnt mean the x1/wii U is the wrong one

hellzsupernova3840d ago

i agree 100% black0o but he was stating his opinion as fact. ive bought a ps4 its all paid for its my console of choice.

Im just saying that it isnt a fact.

Section83839d ago

Actually if you look at it statistically, PS4 is the right choice.

Opinion. Don't state your opinion as fact. It makes you look like a fanboy.

DragonKnight3840d ago

Like you said in the Xbox One version of this article..

"Don't argue with my opinion"

reko3840d ago

@tech

trolling again?

TechMech23839d ago

@reko
I'm not a troll. I'm simply one of the few people with common sense on this website as opposed to the fan boys that worship their systems.

NatureOfLogic3840d ago

Article +1

OT: I agree. Every gamer should own the most powerful console ever made come November.

MRMagoo1233840d ago

I am really getting excited about my new ps4, still a month and half to go for me tho, i have it paid off along with 4 games so far (killzone, watchdogs, AC4 and BF4) then all those free 2 play games and free games from PSN plus will be just icing on the only cake worth having imo.

DigitalRaptor3840d ago

There is a choice.

Either support an anti-consumer disgrace, or support a company that gives you options, the best value for your money, the superior technology and is focused on gaming without compromise.

Fireseed3840d ago

Here's a though. What if the "anti-consumer disgrace" is the only one with games that I;m even remotely interested in? Should I switch to the "company that gives you options, the best value for your money, the superior technology and is focused on gaming without compromise" even if I'll be bored to tears (aside from anything Naughty Dog does)? Dammit and here I thought games were about playing the ones you liked! Please teach me! Cause apparently I've been doing it all wrong :S

Hicken3840d ago

In that case, don't buy either one.

Anyway, if there's nothing that's ever been on a PlayStation console that's interested you- or, in this case, if Naughty Dog games are it- I have to wonder if you were doing it wrong, as well.

Even though I hate Microsoft, there are multiple games from various developers in various genres that interest me on the 360; the same will probably be true for the XB1, even if it's not true just yet. And this is in spite of the fact that many of the fools on this site think I'm a Sony fanboy(I admit to being a bigger fan of Sony than Nintendo or Microsoft, though).

But you're saying the ONLY games that will ever and have ever interested you are the ones with Naughty Dog's paw print? No inFamous, MotorStorm, LBP, Killzone, GT, God of War? No Heavy Rain, or any of the myriad JRPGs, Dynasty Warriors, Gundam, or anything else?

Yeah, I think you ARE doing it wrong.

What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.

Cacabunga9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

A rumored game at a rumored show.. we’ve seen it all

TiredGamer9h ago

Agreed. The first remake was stylistically beautiful and a very noticeable improvement over the original in every regard. And it was reasonably priced and sustainably developed (i.e. not some mega big budget game that was do or die for the developer).

Zeke6811h ago

Thanks for the spoilers... :(

RonnySins11h ago

Another day, another remake. Ugh!

SonyStyled10h ago

If you played the original print I can see your annoyance. I didn’t and probably a lot others the past 20 years.

Was it any good? Would you suggest playing the original print of 2, or suggest the remake? Just wondering because I didn’t play the originals as I had an n64 at the time

TiredGamer9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I played the first remake and absolutely loved it. The quality of life and control improvements were very noticeable. I tried playing the PS1 original and gave up halfway through at the janky controls.

Expect the same for part 2. The PS1 version is janky as heck, but I would gobble up an improved remake day one.

The beauty of this kind of stuff is that I find myself enjoying more retro gaming today, so a relatively low budget classic remake (call it a single-A release) is exactly what is missing from first party releases in the modern age. I don’t want every game to be an unsustainable AAAA endeavor that is just overwhelming in every regard. Truly miss when game releases could be modest-sized surprises and still be commercially successful/viable.

Bring on more quality classic remakes!

DarXyde2h ago

I can see your frustration and mostly agree, but modern remakes of games lost eras ago are fine if you ask me.

I don't know how old you are, but I was a kid when the first Medievil came out. It's really for a new generation of gamers more than anything and the industry is at a point now where there is an insane number of current gamers who missed out on those classics.

If we're talking about remakes of The Last of Us or remasters of GTAV, I'm in agreement. Otherwise, the choice to remake games like Final Fantasy VII, Medievil, Parappa, etc. are fair to me. Even PS2 era games being remade would be welcome to me. Often, the tech updates make it worth it.

Knightofelemia11h ago

Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.

Omegasyde10h ago

My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).

I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder

InUrFoxHole5h ago

SOCOM! SOCOM! SOCOM!
But please not like Socom 4
