Considering PS4 would be my console of choice if I ever decided to get an 8th gen console, my question is the same as several other people's: Why should it get one? I couldn't care much less about Halo, having tried it a couple of times and getting bored. I think my best try ended at the fourth level because I just didn't like the gameplay and found it boring.

Resistance probably could have been close if the 2nd one didn't take a huge step back from the first. First one was awesome, but then the 2nd became a generic shooter if you ask me. Or maybe it just had great sales due to lack of choice when it launched...whatever.

In answer to your question, probably not. You could sort of say Uncharted, at least in terms of good sales and being a shooter...but the online fanbase isn't even close.

Resistance 3 however is awesome, the best in the series.

I hope that if and when Bungie will make a game also on non-MS platforms, it won't be a Halo clone, it would be unfair towards MS, it wouldn't really help its competitors and it would tarnish Bungie's image.
Halo, despite being a fruit of Bungie's talent, is also very closely tied to MS, just like Pokémon are to Ninty, both are part of specific gaming experiences and they wouldn't work as well on other platforms.
Sony has its gaming universe, it relies less than Ninty and MS on few very powerful 1st and 2nd party franchises, but it works well anyway.
All in all, each console maker does its best when it follows its way, not the others.

i think this is the best comment ive read in this entire thread, especially that ending phrase.

Thank you! I think the silent majority agrees more than some vocal minorities, luckily, as last gen all of the three Wii, PS3 and XB360 were able to thrive not only each one during some separated periods of the gen, but simultaneously too.

Killzone is hit or miss with every iteration. 

Gears is really overplayed. Cover system was cool in 2006 but today without anything else on the table for gears,  the terrible one dimensional characters and writing really ruins the games.  It started getting bad at 2... Horde mode never gets old though,  ill give it that,  but then again.  So many other games has that now with a better overall package to boot. 


Terrible writing? Gears of War overall story is better than Halo 1 to 3 combined.

Quite a feat to surpass a franchise whose main protagonist remains silent for the entirety of the trilogy isnt it.

Yes, it will get the actual Halo 5 game, because according to some people exclusives don't really exist anymore!

Neither Master Chief (?) nor Marcus Fenix (?) are silent. And Silent Protagonists have nothing to be shy. Chrono Trigger has one of the best plots ever conceived and the main character is silent.

Will the XBone ever get a "proper Uncharted-like game"? Will the PS4 ever get a "proper Fable-like game"? Will the XBone ever get a "proper Infamous-like game"? Will PS4 ever get a "proper Crackdown-like game"?

These consoles don't need to be clones of each other. They already share 95% of their library. Why do you want them to be even more similar? Either you accept the PS and XB for what they are (and the differences they have in gameplay experiences) or you, subconsiously or not, just want 1 console on the market. Pick one.

Why do you think they paid for Rise of the Tomb Raider?
