Forums - Gaming - PS4 is only a more powerfull PS3: Microsoft Danish PR Guy

No problem. 

I will say this, though:  If you and I were to design a console, we'd come up with the PS4 or the Vita.  It's the easiest way to approach the situation.  Better graphics, more power, etc.  We lack creativity.  In a million years, guys like you and I wouldn't have the courage to base our entire console around something like motion controls, analog sticks (Yeah I KNOW the N64 wasn't the first to have analog), two screens, Kinect, Broadband, etc. until we saw somebody else doing it successfully.

More power and a good controller.  That's the easy way because that's what gamers are familiar with.

Innovation will occur through software, like it always has. No need to make some crazy controller.

With the hardware and power available to developers this time around, they have so many options on the software front.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Well, yeah, I could.  I just don't feel like this.  Sure, I would point out something but then you'd find a caveman drawing of something else and say that Sony didn't react to the competition.  I wasn't going to mention the Wii Remote or or the SNES controller layout but what's the point?  You're one of those guys that feel that Sony can do no wrong.  If I said Trophies were a direct response to Achievements or something, you'd say that was Sony's plan all along.  Not in the mood.  Maybe another day.

Why? I agree with Trophies and Move points... the controller not because the first DualShock changed what the controller was designe after that... no copy.

You're...you're not attacking me?  I'm confused and frightened!

I will just say as far as the copying conversation goes...Don't all companies do that? I have never got what the big deal is when people say this seeing as it is what almost ALL of the tech we have is based off of. Ideas and inventions of others made better and also new ideas that came from the those inventions.

On Topic:

Yeah he is right it is a more powerful PS3 it is supposed to be....they upgraded it, made it better with a few new additions and features to boot. It is not a bad thing and no one know just how well the PS4 or the XBOX One will perform yet. So we will see how everything plays out on both sides!



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

I need to attack you? I agree with two of your points... just the controller copy not.

i think he is right, PS4 is an evolution of PS3, not a revolution. They play safe but it's ok as the internet-crowd seems to be happy with it.

Yep and a Nissan GT-R is just a more powerful Skyline...of course you have to forget about all of the other component upgrades, features, etc.

PS3 is a more powerful PS2 as well if you use reductionist arguments. [these types of arguments are for mental midgets like the MS representative]

Nintendo is the most conservative company of all the three, which is why even if they sell less they still profit most gens these days.


I meant conservative in pushing new concepts, not specs. As far as hardware, I completely agree. That also makes me sad, I would love to see WiiU on par with the others.


Well they finally took some risk with the Wii U because they aren't profiting already. Its really the tablets fault though. We'll see how the games turn out this gen though. I will pick up  mine after I get my PS4.

a PS3+ that is not compatible to play PS3 game disc...??

whoever feel PS4 is a PS3+ probably have no common sense at all...

That's why my new nickname for the PS4 is the Xbox 720. It has GD memory like the Xbox 360, allows you to share, like the Xbox 360 , has tones of shooters like the Xbox 360, is more like a PC and the Xbox 360 the PS3, has an optimal camera accessory thing like the Xbox 360, etc.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, I do find a little bit of humor that Sony has made their new console virtually an upgraded X360 aka the Xbox 720.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!
