The PS4 seems like a sound business venture, it integrates and expands upon existing comcepts of connectivity and social gaming. For me though, it seems like something of a nightmare, I hate playing games online save for two exceptions (simply because they're awesome extremely well balanced), I don't need to share and connect everything I do (I realise that I don't have to share anything though) and enjoy single player experiences, I also hate playing on handhelds and small screens. All in all, the PS4 seems like its aimed at the twitter/instagram crowd, which is very clever but its not me, not at all. I know that I don't have to connect or am going to be forced online or to share or anything but all this seemed to be the main focus of the console, most development and effort will have this in mind, just like most development in the 7th has focused on explosions, gimmicks and shallow gloss. Will I buy a PS4? Probably, in time, but there was nothing in that reveal that made me want to run out and get one at launch, or any time soon after. It was, as expected, more about social/online/sharing gaming, floating on the currents in the market but not on my wishlist. |
Console specs =/= PC specs. 8GB GDDR5 on a console can push much more than 8GB GDDR5 on a PC.
