Just wish they'd lift the street date for the PS4 now. Picked up Killzone, a DS4 and the PS Camera today... I'm ready to pick up my PS4 now.

Pixel_Enemy3825d ago

I agree guitarded.. I have my DS4, camera and charger. I might just pick up BF4 and KZ Shadowfall now that I am allowed to.

TomShoe3825d ago

I'd go nuts with all those PS4 games sitting around with no console to play them on.

guitarded773825d ago

@ TomShoe

Yeah, I really want to play, but I'm trying to make a dent in my backlog before the 15th, so it's not too bad. Plus I'm downloading The Puppeteer (< $20 for PS+ right now), so another new game for me keeps me distracted. But when I look at the back of the Killzone Shadow Fall case and it says 1080p native, I get a little worked up.

UnHoly_One3825d ago

I'm so sick of this "greatness" bull****.

Christ, it's a f*cking video game console.

Buy it, play games on it, have sex with it for all I care.

But unless you work for Sony, using their ad slogans in normal conversation makes you sound like a deranged stalker with some kind of obsession.

It's really off-putting.

To the point where I actually have begun to hate Sony just based on the way you people act.

GasClown3825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

@ UnHoly_One

If you don't like it, don't read it... your problem solved.

ThanatosDMC3825d ago

^If you're tired of that slogan, you'd best stop visiting gaming websites this gen. Unless Sony uses it for next gen, then you're screwed.

AgentSmithPS43825d ago

@onagao lol.

@UnHoly_One If you're serious please get some help unless you want to be miserable.
"Buy it, play games on it, have sex with it for all I care."
If I were richer I might have a specially made realdoll with a PS4 for a head but as I only have one I will treat it like a delicate precious treasure.
"But unless you work for Sony, using their ad slogans in normal conversation makes you sound like a deranged stalker with some kind of obsession."
Pot calling the kettle black.
"To the point where I actually have begun to hate Sony just based on the way you people act."
Save the hate for more important things. If I thought like you I'd hate the internet based on the way you acted.

Your brain is forcing you to believe this, not the people saying greatness, it's making you upset over nothing. If you use things like self hypnosis you can quit being a slave to the greatness inside your own head.

P.S. When I get the PS6 that you can have sex with I will definitely be saying things like "You won't have to await my greatness much longer baby, it's coming!"

@ Unholy_eXBONe

Well you see, seeing is believing. Where are the eXB0Ne goods? Time is near, time is here yet we still need to know WHAT you get if you buy into the eXB0Ne camp. Al we have is promises, and M$ are not well known for delivering on that, just like at E3 but yet not much to show nor much "confirmed"! I know it's not a nice situation but still no reason to take the butt_hurt concerns out on us!

BBBirdistheWord3825d ago

@ unholy one

Agreed.

The best part of the ps4 is the ps4.
The worst part are the ps4 fans.

I have a ps3 and possibly will get a ps4 too when it gets some good games released for it.
However, based on the behaviour of some the PS4 fans I am honestly questioning why I would want to identify with that community.

It's become like a zoo full of monkeys throwing feces at anyone that walks past.

Volkama3825d ago

BBBird you're right the PS4 fans seem awful. But it is just a very small vocal minority, they are not representative of the PS4 community at large.

Getting a PS4 will not turn you into "one of them".

monkey6023825d ago

Unholy one
So for whatever you care everyone can do what they like about the ps4 except get excited. Right gotcha! -_-

Orange Juice3825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

@bird and volcama

No one fanbase is better or worse than the others. Sony fans had to deal with "playstation is doomed" trolls for the past seven years and trust me, there is nothing more frustrating than that. Still, you dont see me saying that microfans are the worst because I know that both sides have their bad eggs.

Now that the shoe is on the opposite foot there are some that are excited to watch microsoft fans eat crow and humble up. Its a constant pendulum that will always swing.

You wont be a part of a "perfect" fanbase ever, no matter which console you choose.

lilbrat233825d ago

Thats good I am still waiting till Black Friday for BattleField 4 since gamestop will have it on Sale.

Joe9133825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

@UnHoly_One if you do not like the slogan then do not visit the Sony articles problem solved @BBBirdistheWord both sides have fans that go too far same with android vs apple vs Samsung all companies have fans that just go too far for example what are you and UnHoly_One doing in a Sony article talking crap on Sony fans you are trying to start stuff for no reason just like if you go to a Xbox article you will see Sony ppl doing the exact same thing you are doing you are exactly what you say you hate about Sony but you’re doing it for MS in a Sony article calling Sony fans monkeys that do not make sense a troll is a troll no matter which company they get behind I do not like calling ppl names but it is pathetic and by doing so shows that you do care I am a Sony fan and may comment on a xbox article but only when xbox fans get to name calling but I do not look at all xbox fans like them.

VENOMACR12273825d ago

@UnHoly_One

Although you went a bit to far/crazy, I see your point, I just don't think you said it very well. To clean up the mess you typed, I think you meant to say:

It's just a game console, not the creation of fire.

PSFans are going a bit overboard acting like it's the next coming of Jesus. I'm looking forward to the new systems, but I'm not taking days off from work or waiting outside for it. I'll get a ton of disagrees, but I do agree with the couple people who have said the PS4 community has really been off putting. So much hatred over a video game console.

UnHoly_One3824d ago (Edited 3824d ago )

I apologize for my over enthusiasm, some of that was supposed to be intentionally exaggerated. I suppose if you read it and take it 100% seriously, it does sound a little crazed. lol

Anyway, to answer some questions, I don't have a problem with the slogan itself. I don't care if I see 100 commercials using that slogan.

It's just seeing fans using it as a catchphrase that strikes me as really weird. I've never seen anyone do that with any product, it's bizarre.

And I know I'm probably wasting my time saying this, but I'm no "Xbox Fanboy". I am buying both consoles.

I prefer many things about Xbox over Playstation, so yes, I'm more apt to "take their side" than most people on this site, for sure, but I'm no blind fanboy.

I'll happily admit that the PS4 is a more powerful console. That doesn't bother me a bit.

But I still think Ryse is the best looking game we've been shown so far, and I think the Dualshock 4 is a terrible controller.

So if that makes me an "Xbot", then that's fine. But you don't see me going around spouting off Xbox marketing slogans and worshipping MS executives' every tweet as if it were gospel.

All I'm trying to say is the level of fandom some of you guys have for Sony is disturbing.

I apologize if I offended anyone.

JoGam3824d ago (Edited 3824d ago )

@ UnHoly_One....Im the guy who said "Greatness it shall be" which is not the Slogan. The Slogan is Greatness Awaits. Anywho, dude its not that serious. Honestly, you did come off like you're a immature kid. I say that because kids normally rage over ish like that. Listen, I perfer Playstation over Xbox however I do not dislike Xbox...At the end of day we are all gamers. I would never hate on you because you show love for your system of choice. If anything I can relate. No hard feeling though. GREATNESS AWAITS FOR PLAYSTATION AND XBOX!!! :-)

PS...Call me a fanboy, Its fine. However everyone is a fanboy of something. Rather is games, Stereos, Cars, Watches, Women, Jesus, etc...Let them enjoy what they love.

ambientFLIER3824d ago

Unholy One - 100% agree. Hardcore PS4 fans are the cancer of this hobby. I like sony, and have a PS3 and will buy a PS4 eventually, but I won't regurgitate any annoying slogan like I'm getting paid for it...

They did this simply because it's building hype. The games are finished but it's not like you can play them until November 15th. Meanwhile, "holy shit I can buy ps4 games and controllers"

FITgamer3825d ago

You're right about the games, but we can use the controllers. It be awesome.

I need a better ps3 controller anyway.

FamilyGuy3825d ago

I read this title wrong and was worried, thought it was saying that the 1st party PS4 games were being held from release like something of a delay was going to happen. Seeing the rumor sway towards "hopefully" let me know I was reading it wrong lol.

This is great, less time spent in line dealing with people picking up everything all at once.

kwiksilver993825d ago

i can imagine a lot of guys with a ds4 and a copy of kz shadow fall who are pretend playing in front of the tv.lol.anxiously waiting for the console more than ever .

hopefully i'll be able to pick up one in march,only killzone shadow fall for me till i clear my backlog of ps plus on the ps3.
after that its ps4 all the way with the vita alngside for the ride :)

nosferatuzodd3825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

all i can say is the dark side is back (take light saber out) wave hand push a few cars yes welcome my playstation brothers to play some killzone the force is strong indeed

Jonnyquest3213825d ago

Haha exactly! Can't believe that comment got so many likes. Don't read this (oh wait, too late)

Gamer19823825d ago

Very clever idea! Get people invested so if they cannot get that PS4 come Christmas because of no stock they already bought the games and controllers so they won't be tempted to get the Xbone which may be in stock somewhere.

Kidmyst3824d ago

@ UnHoly_One
With that Logic you should never have bought a 360. go back to when the PS3 came out and Xbox fans brutalized the PS3, trashed it and just about every game stop you went in you were told don't buy that overpriced piece, buy an xbox it has way more games. Many of them today now play on both 360 and PS3.

kenshiro1003824d ago

sigfredod3825d ago

ZBlacktt3825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

Another smart move. Why make it a hassle for people to all go down at once ( same day ) to stand in long lines to get the games they want badly at this point. If the game is ready, already shipped and just sitting at outlets. Let it go already! People will get to hold something real in their hands. This assures them it's really happening! It's already going to be crazy enough just picking up our pre ordered PS4's.

SpitFireAce853825d ago

I almost went to pick up KZ:Shadowfall at Gamestop
today..But luckily i saw this leaked AD from target.

http://www.cheapassgamer.co...

ZBlacktt3825d ago

I saw that today. The only thing was for me was pre ordering and getting pre order DLC and in game content. I've already pre order AC4, KSF and BF4 so I could get that stuff. But that is still a awesome deal since they are rewarding you for buying what you already were going to buy anyway.

bigtrucknd3825d ago

Oh that sucks I already pre ordered from gamestop. Wish I would've waited and got that deal.

Relientk773825d ago

I love that all the PS4 accessories/controllers, and now even games, like Killzone are coming out early

ZeroX98763825d ago

one good reason for doing this is keeping the stores inventory full at launch, while having distributed most of the pre-orders already.

serratos273825d ago

So much for my Amazon pre-order lol.

badz1493825d ago

Amazon gonna be pissed LOL!

thekhurg3825d ago

If only they'd break the street date on the PS4!

iiwii3825d ago

That would be awesome if we got a release this week, lol. Thursday 31 Oct would be perfect.

Destrania3825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

How about everyone who had theirs pre-ordered since E3 get theirs now lol jk.

MRMagoo1233825d ago

@destrania

Im all for that lol i had mine on preorder before the announcement lol.

JRH77833825d ago

I'm getting mine this Sunday on the 4th. My girl said our Walmart gets them in stock, but wont release them until the 15th. Since she's a manager i'm getting mine early. CAN'T WAIT!!

garos823825d ago

Even though I pre ordered mine way after e3 I'm all for that.I'd it means less queuing on launch date that would be great

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

10h ago
rlow110h ago

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

blackblades2h ago

Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

just_looken5h ago

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno4h ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

just_looken1h ago

This right here

Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal

Imagine if sony kept up ps home development

The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss

u-bEttA-rUn3h ago

Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.

DOMination-17m ago

Honestly, I think a well-designed LBP-style game would do better than ever in the current state of the industry.

People have short attention spans. Having something that is pick up, play a few levels and put down again is the experience the "masses" are after.

Keep it as a 2D platformer only with well-designed base levels, make it easy to build new levels and more importantly easy to access new content - personally I always found the way Forze Horizon 4&5 provide daily, weekly and monthly challenges via new content that they've built or handpicked from the community is a system that works great - and then stick it on mobile and PC with Steam Deck support.

Make it F2P with a one-off fee for the level editor (to stop people spamming crap onto the store) and have MTX for more characters, outfits etc. and there you have a live service game that Sony should be all over.

Do the same with a new Karting game and a 2D fighting/Smash Bros style engine and you have three bangers right there.

(I appreciate the N4G community will hate the idea of LBP being a live service game with MTX and I get that but I think if there's one game this model could work well for, it's this.. just imo)

Tacoboto4h ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

DOMination-32m ago

Sony in the Andrew House era did support them massively though. They let them do their thing with LBP and spent millions marketing it. I remember one E3 they even used LBP to cover the boring parts of the presentation where they talk about sales figures etc.

And then they allowed MM to announce their game on the PS4 console announcement/showcase event and waited the entire generation for them to release it.
