ARW: Playstation 4 Console Review: Useful But Not Important…

It has come! The time that us, the games journalists, can finally stop using the words “next generation” in every second sentence. Why is that, you may ask? Well, my friends who have obviously been living under a rock for the last year, the new consoles that will be the focus of many a gamer argument are here.

[Hicken]

Not important?

Also, not really sure how you give it a 3/10 in the social feature aspect when you say you hardly tried them. Seems like that would get a more default score like a 5, if anything at all.

@Hicken

You've been on this site long enough to know a B.S. Review from a non-biased one.

[Hicken]

Well, yeah, but I try to give people the benefit of doubt. Seems to be a great flaw of mine, thinking that appealing to reason will get me anywhere.

I think I have too much faith in humanity.

[Aery]

So, this "blog" is approved ?
It's not a problem, everybody deserve to express their opinion, but this "article" is pretty bad from the start to the end with the finals scores that give *zero* credibility to the whole article.

[xHeavYx]

I always check "andrew-wilson.info" for the latest on video games /s

[cesuf]

By benefit of the doubt, of course you mean either a "with us or against us" mindset obviously.

[BkaY]

whoever approving this crap .. a pat on the back

you are doing an extra ordinary job.. bloody butt munchers.

[Heisenburger]

Bloody butt munchers...

Phrasing bro.

[nypifisel]

Meh, at least it's better than the Xbox One which is neither useful nor important

[Chrischi1988]

OMG, go hide somehwere, a flood of angry PS4 owners is right in front of us!!!

[lokirevamped]

First I would like to say Thank You to the first posters, you'll have saved me many times from going to a bogus website just to build up their hit count. I like the social features that are currently available.

[ape007]

so let me get this straight, a 400$ console that is NEXTGEN and will live on for years and has an almost perfect controller is not important??

LoL

[Immorals]

Wouldn't call the controller 'near perfect'.. It's a giant leap in the right direction from the ds3,but still has a way to go

[yankolo]

Lol oooo fanboy dont cry ...no fanboy dont cry....jejej

[BelkingOfSony]

WTF and NO

[baph777]

I think the title is referring to the review and not the Playstation 4.

[OverPaperSkies]

Give it a year and it'll be worth a buy.

Killzone and Knack doesn't justify a £300+ console.

[The93Sting]

so dead rising and the downgraded forza clearly justifies a 500$ concole you say?

[OverPaperSkies]

WUT...

You sony fanboys jump to conclusions quicker than bolt does 100 metre.

When did i mention the Xbox One?????? Oh wait, i didn't. So because i spoke negatively about the PS4 i'm an Xbone fanboy right?

You're getting ignored for stupidity.

[TheLostCause]

The superier multiplats justified the price for me.

[hellvaguy]

Superior multiplats? You mean the pc versions?

[Chrischi1988]

It is so super funny, how ignorant people on here are, even though it is a known fact, that the superior version of multiplatts is almost always the PC Version, maybe for racing games it is not, even if graphics are better, but controlls and graphics are better on a PC. That is true for just about every RPG, RTS, Shooters, Hack n Slay and almost all important genres.

I understand that a lot of people on here dont like to hear that, but they deserve to hear it, because they are not any better, to the other plattforms ;)

[TheLostCause]

Superior "console" multiplats, I should have added that before I got jumped on by the PC elitists, a fun fact is that I own a PC far more powerful than the consoles too but recently I've enjoyed my PS4 more. @Chrischi ignorance is bliss isn't it?

[DEATHSTROKE-cro-]

let's see.

free games : Planetside 2 (nothing like this on Xbox), Blacklight, Warframe, War Thunder, DC Universe
exclusive indie games.
Killzone, Knack, Resogun, inFamous, DriveClub, The Order, Deep Down, Rime, Shadow Of The Beast,Uncharted 4.

PS+, nice simple OS, fast PS Store, great controller with better triggers and analog sticks than Xbox controller, 15min gameplay recording (5min on Xbox), streaming of gameplay which Xbox doesn't have, recording and streaming with one press of SHARE button (on Xbox you must go in the menu and put in when you want to record something), more powerful console and 100$ cheaper, 1080p games.

no reason to buy PS4 ? yeah, sure.

[OverPaperSkies]

1. Games that are not even out yet.

2. The rest is based on pure opinion.

3. Buying a console based on how fast the online store is, is hilarious.

4. Grow up.

[hellvaguy]

U do know Blacklight has been on the 360 for almost 2 years now right? Warframe is pretty cool though.

[bsquwhere]

Ignore the trolls above they just want to hate. Btw the Blacklight on the 360 is a different game then the one on PS4(it was also on the PS3) Telling someone to grow up when you spent 3 bubbles trolling is a bit hypocritical.

[babis1974]

Useful But Not Important…FOR YOU NOT FOR ME!!!

[AnotherGamer117]

I read the article above and why are statements like this is a PS4 review:

No HDMI in like the Xbox One nor is there a Standard Definition port, because who doesn’t have a High Definition television?

I would talk about the social features as both Sony and Microsoft have been touting these for a while but, to be honest, I haven’t really used them.

Exclusives don’t hold a flame to the Xbox One’s line up and while they are good games.

I don't see the need to bring in a different console when you are reviewing the PS4. Also, the author doesn't mention the PS4 exclusive games he has actually played, so how can he fully compare them?

The article is poorly written and missing a lot details to fully explain the reasoning behind his scores.

[GarrusVakarian]

These console reviews are so damn retarded.

[SmartassesCreed]

Just bought Assassin's Creed 4 for PS4 yesterday, in my opinion its a must have for the console. The graphics are stunning,and the game is pretty fun. I did feel however that it at times more felt like just a pirates game than it did an assassin's creed game.

[whybag]

"Oh and a disc drive, nearly forgot about that part for those of you who didn’t know the PlayStation 4 has the ability to use discs."

His attempts at humor fall so woefully flat, it's almost comical. It actually might be the funniest part of the "review".

[wishingW3L]

“I would talk about the social features as both Sony and Microsoft have been touting these for a while but, to be honest, I haven’t really used them.”

Social Features: 3/10

LoL

[Tru_Ray]

This is one half-assed and uninformed review. What kind of dimwit admits to not using key features of the platform in his review and then rates those features poorly? How can you be critical of a feature that you haven't experienced for yourself?
