No, video games is not a matter of convincing... go play what you like and stop bickering about franchises you don't want to play... If you were really interested in any PS console you would know some of their best franchises... I would bet you have other interests here.

I owned a PS2, which was a massive letdown for me and almost killed my interest in video gaming. For that reason I skipped the PS3 out of spite, my experience with the PlayStation brand is second hand only and seemed to consists of a heavy dose of conematics and fluff. But, that could be because my exposure to the console was through others.

This generation I am somewhat considering buying two consoles, if I do I will pick up either a PS4 or an XBox One. I don't feel great about the XBOx, mainly because of Kinect, but I do feel strognly about Zoo Tycoon. I am now starting to look into what the PlayStation 4 will be about (I had initially ruled it out due to my poor experience with the PS2). But if the console is just going to be a huge mass of story driven cinematic 'epic' experiences I am not going to bother. I don't know for a fact that Uncahrted is that type of game, but it is my impression from my limited experience (and backed up by Xen). I also have the same impression of The Last of Us. If my questions about the franchises from a marquee developer on the PS4 is too much to deal with then I can only say too bad, so sad. 

Your view on playstation is skewed beyond reality. The ps2 library is hardly just cinematics, it's mlibrary is unmatched in console history.....with a variety of games in every genre and type................

 

I have actually owned xbox, 360, ps2 and ps3, and I can say with 100% certainty, you're limited view on playstation is downright short sighted. Sure Sony has some games that are heavy on cinematics...that's a good thing, but many are not............

Funny  you say backed up by XEN, everyone else's opinion doesn't matter because it doesn't jive with yours??? That makes sense...not.

 

Again, there are 100 + reviews, you tube, countless media on Uncharted now and other games, if you cannot get from all that a game is for you or not, no one here is going to be able to help.

Again, you liked the PS2, I didn't. Get over it. I am looking for information on what Naughty Dog in particular has done that might make a PlayStation a consideration. The response is basically, 'check youtube'. Well, I don't care enough to check youtube. If I was that interested I wouldn't be asking anybody here. But thanks for the tip. And I don't say I am backing up anything by Xen, I just said he's the only one who has even remotely touched on the core mechanics of Uncharted. If he is right, and why would I not think so when I have the same impression and no one else has anything else to say, Uncharted is not the series that makes the PlayStation 4 a viable purchase for me.

This is the first time I have posted in the Sony forums here to my knowledge, I have to say that I am starting to see why the Sony fanbase has the reputation it has. Anyway, I guess in a weird way the thread has been at least somewhat informative. Thank you for your time.
