Yeah it's safe to say that Sony will most likely use their current Cell-chip architecture one more time (except it will be updated and more powerful, more RAM and SPUs) for a couple reasons: 1) Easier Backward Compatibility and 2) Easier to develop for now that developers have had time to learn the PS3's hardware.
Either way, I hope the NextBox and PS4 have a price tag of only $399 or so. Maybe $499 but that's pushing it.
Here's an article I wrote r...
I'd rather see a FF8 remake myself. FF 8 was miles better than FF7 in my opinion. The love story was engrossing and the story compelling.
Until then I can't wait for FF Versus 13.
Ive gotta say I have an iPhone 4s and, while it's great for phone gaming, it's nowhere near as good as gaming on a dedicated handheld. Once I get my vita in February I won't game at all on my iPhone. I bought GTA3 for the iPhone and it works pretty good I'll admit but I constantly wish I had buttons.
Cant wait for them. Here's my predictions for the PS4 in an article I wrote:

They've learned alot from the PS3 and the Vita is proof of that. It'll be priced right and easy to develop for.
lol I lol'd at that comment, Ellie. Yeah, sales should not matter to us. As long as we're getting tons of games pumped out to us, we should be content. As a PS3-first gamer, I'm getting more than I can handle of first party exclusives AND all those third party games that 360 owners play.

I gotta say, man, XBL is not THAT much better. It is pretty much just PSN, with cross game chat and a party system. That's it, oh and you ...
CoD4 had the best balance and only had 3 Killstreaks and NO deathstreaks, the way it should still be.
3 Kills = UAV
5 Kills = Airstrike
7 Kills = Helicopter
That's perfection right there. And as far as guns went, the only guns that were a little overpowered were the M16 and the MP5 on Cod4. The online was great though. It's the only CoD game I've actually kept in my collection. MW3 is getting sold tomorrow to some guy for $40.
I actually prefer Battlefield:BC2 to BF3 or CoD games. BC2 just has the right balance of vehicles and weapons, for me.
I don't think they'll stop making the 3G model Vitas until they come out with a 4G-capable Vita. When they make a 4G-capable Vita, we should be able to play online games with it because 4G is aLOT faster than 3G. Though, the internet cap might run out pretty fast.
I hope they come out with a LTE 4G capable Vita next year and allow Verizon and ATT both as options because ATT sucks. lol
Stop working on Easter Eggs, and bring us back to CoD4 perfected multiplayer. I want the online to be back to just 3 Killstreaks. 3-UAV 5-Airstrike 7-Helicopter (Not Over-Powered like MW2 and MW3). And get rid of the stupid DeathStreaks. If you suck, then you suck and you just need to get better. It sucks being good at CoD and then some guy has a ton of health because he has a DeathStreak activated. It's not right.
Yeah, pushstartselect is good. Another good site that I've frequented for years and listen to podcasts on now is www. DLB-Network.com. Great site with awesome podcasts and tech videos. I can't stand IGN either. lol
And, yes, the media acts totally ignorant when it comes to tech, especially when it has "Sony" as its nameplate. The media just can't get enough of being biased against Sony. It's to the point of ridiculous.
Made the most impression on the 360 maybe but the PS3 had like 10 or more great exclusives. The only one I didn't feel was as good as it could've been was Resistance 3 (and it was still good). The rest were all great.
Exclusives do matter, even when your system of choice isn't getting many. It's real convenient to say they don't make an impression when you aren't getting many.
Well, it's not necessary, but and I say but, it would be pretty awesome to go co-op (hopefully online too) with a buddy against swarms of enemies. Something like a horde mode from Gears 3 would be sick with Kratos. I do kinda sorta wish they'd make this game a PS4 launch title.
The one question I have with a coop mode would be: Who would the other character be? Kratos's brother?
I think it's awesome what it does, but the fact is it really would have been nice if they made it around 32" or so. Hell a 40" 3DTV like this with the SimulView for around $800 would sell like crazy.
Size definitely seems to be the thing that has hindered its sales, so maybe Sony will up the size to 32" or so in the next model.
Actually, I hope they wait until the PS4 launches to make LBP3 a launch title.
But yeah, I'd say only 10% of gamers actually come on these forums and know about games being "leaked". So, there will definitely still be plenty of people who are surprised.
The best option is to just use your 4G-capable phone and tether it to the Vita. Then you can play full online no matter where you are, whether you're on the bus, on a plane, etc. all without having to have a separate data plan. Honestly, I think ATT should give existing customers a discount if they get the Vita data plan, but that's just not gonna happen. They're too greedy.
You can then play CoD online while you're using the bathroom at work. lol ...
Actually I was always more partial to Final Fantasy 8 myself. I spent hundreds of hours on that game. I never could beat it though. lol I could always get to the third form of Ultimecia but couldn't beat her there. I never did get the Lioni Heart for Squall either though. I did cheat and get all the GF's. Eden ftw. lol
The problem is though, that even though you're being honest about it and buying the games too, doesn't mean the vast majority of people will.
Most people, given the option, will simply pirate the games ONLY, and won't BUY them at all. In a perfect world, where everyone would be honest and only emulate the games they own, then it would be ok, but we live in a very dishonest world.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Sure all three companies care about money, but Sony seems to care about its customers first and THEN money. They give us free online, don't make us have PS+ just to use Netflix or Youtube (lmao @ those "features"), and have the most exclusive games.
Yeah, yeah. We know you don't like Sony or PlayStation, so just cool it. lol
In other news, I'll be getting a Vita day one when it comes out state side.

I'm pretty sure they will have third party memory cards by other makers that will be significantly cheaper. Or some kind of adapter that lets you use standard SD cards inside it and use it in the Vita. At least we all hope. Regardless, the prices ha...
It's Sony, man. Their games look better with each iteration. Uncharted 1 to 2 to 3. Killzone 2 to 3. etc. etc.
The MLB The Show series is the best baseball series out there right now. I just wish Sony would make an exclusive baseball and basketball series that are as good as this baseball game.
