The Dallas Morning News: Sony’s PlayStation 4 is better than its predecessor in every way

When Sony launched the PlayStation 3 in 2006, they did so from a place of power and arrogance. Their PS2 was the best selling console in the world, so they released a successor that was hard to develop for, un-imaginative in terms of features and more expensive than its competitors, expecting that gamers would buy it anyway.

After years of being outclassed and outsold by Nintendo and Microsoft, Sony has a lot to prove with the PlayStation 4 — and it shows. In an effort to reclaim the console gaming crown, Sony has created a system that is better than its predecessor in each and every way, though it’s not without a few hiccups.

"After years of being outclassed and outsold by Nintendo and Microsoft, Sony has a lot to prove with the PlayStation 4 —"

Um, it is NOT better when it comes to media support. I know it will improve but that title is just wrong.

Well, it's an online newspaper, what can you expect?

GiantEnemyCrab3809d ago

True. I guess when they said outclassed and outsold I should of guessed where it was going.

My PS2 and PS3 just read this and started pumping this through their connected speakers.... http://youtu.be/Zhl8tYsRyNk...

XisThatKid3809d ago

Yup except from playin Mp3's and the like. Aside from that I can say most of that is true.

Your title is wrong, I don't think you're a giant Crab.

GiantEnemyCrab3809d ago

Hey that's decapod crustacean to you pal!

MysticStrummer3809d ago

It's also untrue that Sony has ever been outsold by Microsoft, in the console department anyway. I'll accept "outclassed" simply because of XBL's feature set, even though the big talking points like Cross Game Chat and Custom Soundtracks were uninteresting to me personally.

Better than its predecessor? I should hope so!

Media support should never have been taken out to begin with. I don't care if it wasn't a priority, it seriously isn't that hard to put it in there. Why do lesser devices have this functionality and the PS4 doesn't. That's crap and it will always be crap until they fix it. I don't like jumping back and forth to my ps3 to watch media. Or my PC.

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one, this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't !
