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. 

You can just see the list on wikipedia, there will be plenty of games of your like and/or dislike... and seeing you intending to buy a Xbone for Zoo Tycon I sincerely don't think he have a even close taste for games... but still don't think you should be here asking to be convinced to buy a console... buy what you preffer and keep avoiding what you don't have interest... if 20 min of gameplays is enough for you to dislike a genre, maybe 2h of conference from Sony in February was enough for you to decide not having a PS4... so why keep complaining about a dev games that you don't have interest in playing??? It's funny that you use Xen to back up your opinion but don't use the 90%+ that disagree with him to see that you may be wrong

Another frustrating reply.

I don't intend to buy an Xbox One. I don't like the Kinect thing, and Zoo Tycoon is a game I would love to play, but it's not enough to buy a console for. I am in this thread for one reason only, try to find out if there is any point in considering buying a PlayStation 4. The answers here won't be the final decission, but what kind of games I can expect from one of the marquee developers on the system will factor in. Again, Xen is (was at least) the only one who address the mechanics of the game. I don't care about 100 people telling me "Uncharted is awesome", I will listen to the one person who can say "Uncharted is awesome becuase it does this, this and this". Then I can decide if those elements are interesting to me, so far I am not much clearer on what to think. I have a feeling that Uncharted plays similar to Assassins Creed, but ironically that is based on the feedback from people who claim the two games are nothing like eachother.

So again, no information form you, except for the little nugget that Zoo Tycoon is a game worthy of looking down upon if I read your tone correctly. If that is the case, I am guessing there are not many games like it in the PlayStation library? Anyway, that is even further off topic and I don't know if I even care to listen to what people might have to say about that. One last thing though, I have never complained about Naughty Dog outside of the initial statement that the only time I played Uncharted it was for a short time and I didn't like it. Everything else has been an attempt to understand the game and the philosophy of Naughty Dog better. The response has been ranging from mild irritation to butthurt as if I pissed on someones diety (ok, perhaps a slight exaggeration).
