My problem with the PS4/ONE in general is that it isn't powerful enough.

Last gen we were given the bet on the market this gen not so much.

Sadly I understand why because the price of PS3 was suicide. I just wish gamers would value a great console like people value an overpriced smartphone.

So you will end up using it only for games you cannot play on other platforms? What a unique approach.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

At least you learned something - don't buy something you don't need.


And who decides that?

 

The potential buyer ofcourse.

No one else can decide if they NEED something or not.

So let me get this straight.... you get a bunch of indie games from cross-buy (so free for ps4) and complain that they look like the ps3 versions? Super Motherload is 2d for goodness sake, it'd look the same on the PSP.

I've not played The Last of us Remastered but you can grab it for only $20 and if 60fps, 1080p and better textures don't interest you then why buy it?

I haven't had any of the problems you have mentioned with the controllers.

Download speeds are great for me, it's 3x faster than the ps3 as it should be.

UI wise I agree it is a bit of a mess showing all the games side by side, it'd be better if they reorganized the library app and that was used for games instead of throwing them all on the main screen, only having the last 1 or 2 games you played on their.


Super Motherload was just something I said, as it popped into my head.  That game gets a pass, though, as it -is- a simple 2D game.  Last of us doesn't interest me much because I beat it 3 or 4 times on PS3 already and didn't think it was all that grand.  Playing it again on PS4 was good for the first minute, during the opening cutscene...  then my eyes adjusted to the smoother frame-rates, and I was a whole lot less amused.

Dead or Alive 5's problem is that it is the FIRST 3D GAME, I've ever seen to look exactly the same regardless of which gen console you're playing it on.  I've never seen that from a 3D game before in my life.

Download speeds for me are X3 slower than PS3.  I haven't had any problems with the controller either, it's just that the options button is in such an awkward spot.

I'm interested in getting MGSV, which is cross gen, so I'm not expecting much.  And, after seeing DOA5, my expectations for MKX is really low too.  Not to mention, the characters all look like they're made of wet clay in the trailers for MKX anyway.  Tekken 7 also isn't that impressive, and I'm really hating the lack of creativity with the rage arts, which are nothing but move-strings of pre-existing attacks in the character's move-list anyway.

Implimenting a "comeback" feature only benefits someone if they are the only one with access to it.  Otherwise, the better person will always win, unless they're both brain-dead button-mashers.

Also, before MKX, there is nothing I'm interested in.

That's strange, are you on wired or wireless?

If it's not a problem with your ps4 connecting to the router it's possible you were just downloading when they were having some issues.

Generally I download at 1.8-2.2MB/s on ps3 and I get 4-4.5MB/s on ps4. (wireless on ps4, wired on ps3.)

Try playing non-cross gen games then. It should be obvious that cross-gen games will not utilize full potential.

Try Dying Light, The Order (only buy if you are into this type of game, if not rent it...don't drink the cool aid), Bloodborne when it drops, Killzone Shadowfall should be cheap, and Tomb Raider DE is a decent upgrade if u have not played it already.

The full potential of the console has not been reached yet (same with X1). This year you will see more current gen only games. These games and the games that follow will give you more of a next gen feeling. I am suprised you are trying to use xgen as a comparison though. It should be common knowledge that the older console will hold the newer ones back or they just would not be the same game otherwise.

So you just bought all the games u already have on your PS3????

And the PS4 home menu??? I don't know, giw can anyone find a straight line with 10+ (you can limit what's on the list) of your most recently used apps  "disorganized"? I mean the last thing you use goes to the front of the line, pushing the thing u used before that a step behind it.  Deep setting are on the screen above. 

I really don't get it, how much better does anyone want a UI to be? Cause I think its perfect.

The UI Rox on the PS4. The only thing I would like to see & they can add (they added on the PS3 in a firmware update) is the ability to name & add Folders to better organize your games/movies/music etc.

Thats problem. I don't think the PS4 even needs that. I think this is something people just think they need but realistically they would never use. 

The only place that needs better organization is within the librait app/section. and for the most part they are improving it. The rest of the UI is based on what you are using. I mean think if it, if you are playing 5 different games, then those five games will be in the first five dynamic menu icons. or what ever else you use in between.

Maybe its just me though and my love for minimalism and simplicity, but how would making folders  and putting them on the dynamic menu make the OS better or more efficient than it currently is now. Maybe I'm missing something :)



Get infamous and The Order and you will see the graphical power of the console. As far as the OS I hated it at first and much preferred my Xbox One but now that has switch. Awesome console have fun with it!

Killzone has still been my personal favorite, for PS4 graphics, so far. Infamous would be my second choice, but i can't wait to see how amazing Uncharted will look at the end of the year.



I think the UI issue is entirely dependant on how you use your console. If you flit between dozens of games and apps then of course the scrolling is going to be more complex. I only ever flit between 2 games (mostly one until I've finished it) and a couple of app, so everything I need is always within the first half of the XMB.

But, having said that, if I DO for whatever reason fancy taking a look around, I find it so slick and responsive that I actually enjoy the thrill of rapidly scrolling and digging deeper. It's just a blur of activity on the screen.
