The Pros and Cons of the PS4

Every system released is never perfect not even PC is perfect. PS4 is awesome and there's no doubt about it but there's some flaws that come with it and here they are!

Really those are the cons dosent really look like cons to me. At least not to most people. Kinda looks like a nitpick.

JimmyDM903803d ago

Yeah most of the cons came off as whiney and the worst of them just came off as sort of ignorant to the way the game industry works.

"Not even the PC is perfect"! Lol lost me there.

Persistantthug3803d ago

PC is obviously not perfect..... It has its own downsides too.

Everything does.

Picnic3803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Agreed. To them, they obviously think that it's the equivalent of saying 'Not even a McClaren sportscar is perfect'. But a PC is only impressive from a point of view of its technical refinement. In games library it does have some that the consoles don't get but the consoles have some hugely high profile, respected, games that never appear on PC like those by Naughty Dog. Consoles have a character, a brand, differences in controller, motion control. If people don't appreciate why others might prefer consoles, I don't think that it's gaming that they're necessarily in to. It's domination- and relatively characterless domination at that.

Locknuts3803d ago

Biggest con is no killer exclusives. Sony seems to be able to sell ice to eskimos though.

staticdash223803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Ryse having a 60 metacritic is a killer app? lol

How about dead rising 3's mediocre 78? Or what about forza's 82? None of the game are over an 85 meta, they're average. So is the ps4's games. Oh yea, I forgot about killer instinct's 74 metacritic lmao

edit: Wait, there's crimson dragon's 55 metacritic, and then locoycle's 48 meta

come_bom3803d ago

Both console have crappie exclusive launch lineup.

Conzul3803d ago

The Bone's is crappy. PS4's was fair to good.

Conzul3803d ago

Second Son will be huge, as will Uncharted once it arrives.

NeoTribe3803d ago

Look to the past for anwsers to the future. Ps3 destroyed xbox in the games department. This gen will be no different. Mark my words, last of us will win this years vga and uncharted 4 is prolly gonna win the next one. Deal with it.

"for all intents and purposes resign yourself to paying $4 to $10 a month to join Playstation Plus"

$50/year does not equal your calculation. Besides, if you think of it as if you were going to buy such and such game anyway, then put that money in PS Plus and psychologically you will know that you paid for your digital game already but get to maintain all the benefits of Plus. This is why Plus is better than xbox by far. And c'mon, 4 free games a month.

Section83803d ago

This is probably not a problem for any significant number of people, but could we please get an all-region Blu-ray in the systems at this point?

Yes. They need this.

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos9h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos7h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje7h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum10h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum5h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola4h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum4h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola4h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum3h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad6h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola4h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos4h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai6h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK5h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

FACTUAL evidence11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville2h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
