PlayStation 4 Review: The CheckOut

Sony has created a truly powerful successor to the PlayStation 3 and the PS4 will take off as soon as an exclusive system seller emerges. The hardware is a beast, the controller is phenomenal, the user interface is a breath of fresh air, streaming gameplay is relatively solid and Remote Play is quite useful.

Good review

[Chris558]

why would you judge a system on its games especially at launch.. we all know it will get games xbone only has games because M$ decided to transfer all their xbox 360 exclusives which were intended for 360 not the bone like (DR3,Forza,Ryse(kinect title)

[Masterchief_KOK]

Ms did the smart way bringing dr3 and ryse to xl to prove the hater like you wrong that is more then fps console this time around

[Chris558]

Well you think is better dropping support for games later in the cycle and only focusing on kinect? oh and sure prepare your ass when microsoft gets enough sales they bring back DRM and always online

It did that last gen too mate. On 360 they had Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Saints Row, Crackdown, etc. then as soon as MS had there audience hooked they pulled the plug on their exclusives.

That's why I personally don't trust that they will deliver games, sure they have them now, but when they've got their install base, are they still going to keep it up? I don't know.

The PS3 had more exclusives in it's final year than MS has had in the past 2/3, Hopefully MS don't win US market so easily this time and are forced to keep up exclusive production.

At least they didn't judge the DOA PS4s. Then it wouldn't even have gotten a 7.

"Enter Remote Play, the feature that Sony totally didn’t borrow from the Wii U. Not that anyone would know if they did since Nintendo has sold a grand total of 12 consoles in North America. (Guesstimate)"

Credibility lost.

almost all reviews have been extremely positive but everyone seems to be complaining about the launch titles. If you like the games then its a no brainer.

Yeah good review,nice to see a legit review as well,instead of all this trolling,i have the x1 on order for this week and forza aside was it really worth rushing in to buy it when i have all the latest games any way.I think the x1 will receive a very similar review to this.I already have ps and xb and will be getting both of these when more exclusives come out,forza was the only reason i went for ms console.

9/10 ps4 good hardware
1/10 xbone for effort

[Stoppokingme]

Not a good review at all, once again it's the score that's generating all the hits.

It's not fair for the PS4 or the XB1 to be rated poorly due to personal bias and launch titles, all it stands to do is further fuel the fanboy wars.

Just wait until the XB1 reviews roll in, then the $h!t will hit the fan. Sony Fanboys will scream bloody murder if any review is positive, which is just as childish as calling the PS4 a brick because a handful of systems burnt out.

[AwfullyGood]

Did you even read the review? Launch titles aren't the only problem for the PS4 and it has nothing to do with personal bias.

Launch reviews are about helping people figure out justification for spending $400 or $500 on the two consoles. If the exclusives and some features simply aren't up to snuff, that's going to impact the buying decision.

[fractured74]

If this site says anything good about the x1 i will be very surprised,the amount of fan boys on this site is a joke.I think that the review was a fair one so why the disagrees for saying good review is beyond me.Unless your opinion on here swings for one console only then the fan boys will just keep clicking them disagrees,well done.

7/10? Isn't that being a little too generous for a console that has DOA issues?

[GarrusVakarian]

a console that has SOME DOA issues?

Fixed it for you.
