I signed it for fun. Will you sign it? :p

My reasoning (as master chief duke) was,

"In ps3 era developers excuse was that ps3 cell architecture was difficult. But games like uncharted 3 and god showed with a little hard work it is possible to make awesome looking games. Given then power of ps4 and how easy it is to develop games there is no reason for a gimped version of a game. Dont release it if you people cant work in a port properly."

Nope ... I don't think PS4 gamers will have to worry much about gimped versions (unless you want to get technical and factor in the PC).

I am pc and ps3 gamer. I am planning to get ps4 next year. Sometimes I get multiplatform games in ps3 and in future I will get multiplatform games in ps4. So it is important for me. Especially if they are not above or equal of acceptable level.

Not going to sign this. I'm sure there will be some developers who will take advantage of the power available. However, I'm not going to boycott games like The Division or Destiny just because they may not have tried to make the games look any better. Those games look awesome enough for me to not care at all and certainly feel like an idiot for boycotting them. For me, it's enough to know that many titles developed by Sony studios will, on average, look better. I'm not going to begrudge a studio for making the game an equal experience for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners. That's being very petty in my opinion.

hell no! gimped versions of games will help the fanboy war grow, and you know what that means, MORE TROLLING! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so no!

I understand since the PS3 is the only current gen console I own, but the main reason for that issue, as the articule highlights, is the complex architecture of the PS3. Cerny got rid of this problem with respect to the PS4 and it seems to be the easiest machine to program for, and it's also the most powerful of the 3, so with that said, it stands to reason PS4 gamers won't experience problems akin to the PS3 in relation to relatively poor ports. I think a petition is not necessary, unless you believe the power of the cloud will cause trouble for PS4 gamers later.

How is the ps4 suppose to even get games that look worse than its xbox counterpart even though they have virtually the same architecture and the same amount of ram to work with? I feel like this is one of those troll petitions...

But with that being said... I would rather have a game than not have one just cause the visuals were not up to par so no thanks!

You are right. But I think this will sent a small message to developers to be a little careful about ps4 versions. I saw skyrim in my friends ps3 and it was horrible. So I think this is needed. I also think this petition won't draw a large group of people.

I know about Skyrim on PS3 all to well ... crashed me out 3 times. I was lucky since my PS3 was 2 months old at the time, but my friend wasn't so lucky and it screwed up his system. After Skyrim any game he put in would freeze, even those that didn't have freezing issues. So yea, I think it's important to have solid ports. We'll see how it goes. I'm not worried about shoddy ports. I think Wii U people have to worry about that. I'm more concerned about unfinished products that get shipped with the expectation of patching them up later. That's possible for any console.

we need one of these for the WiiU XD
