Its nice for people who own a PS4 but didnt have a PS3, for example people who upgraded from 360 to PS4.

Lets give it a few years and some more games before calling it an upgrade


What do u mean by that?

Well, at this stage neither the X1 or the PS4 have sufficient high quality games to begin to compete with the Xbox 360's library . Or the PS3's library come to that!



I didnt mean upgrade as in PS4 is better than 360, maybe transition would have been a better word.

Just like making PS+ required for online play to provide a environment that Xbox users feel comfortable with, it is a treat for the new PS4 owners that switched over from other platforms to Playstation.


What? I thought they did that because of, you know, Money !

Now that's just silly. It may be a added benefit, but clearly not the main reason. It is Sony we are talking about here.

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

If they just released the PS3 version on PS4 as-is, people WOULD complain. The game didn't look 'great' even at the time of its release due to the hardware it was running on. And I'm not saying it looked bad either because I think it looked really good, just outdated after seeing so much better footage due to PC and PS4. On PS4, it would look a bit out of place if nothing was done to it.

Yes I know what they said. For better online infrastructure. I believe that they waste a good amount of money maintaining the servers, but, even when I had ps+ before, and think it has great value, it is a bitter pill for me to swalow.

I really hate where the PS4 is going right now. It's juat ports, ports and more ports. I'm bored as hell and didn't play on my PS4 for weeks. I also don't know why people are excited about this. It's the same game, you can play it on PS3 way cheaper. It won't be more fun or anything, it will only have better grfxxx.

I enjoyed every major console release since the SNES, but this 8th gen has the most boring first year EVER. Even the Vita had more original games at this point.

I honestly don't know why anyone would buy it. Seems like a great rental if you've never played on PS3 though. Or if PSNow is out by then in US you could do that for like 5 bucks maybe since it's more of an experience heavy game. But even so, people won't think of that and buy it anyway.


This is because you constantly downplay everything Sony. Let me guess you thin the remastered Halo comi g out is the greatest idea ever...


Well yeah...its a 10 year anniversary for a game that wasn't in HD.

You sir are a hypocrite. I know to not take you seriously from here on thanks


Lol really? So you're saying that a remaster of a less than 1 year old game is the same as a 10 year anniversary? Looks like I can't take you seriously either.

 

Oh yeah, and Halo 2 had the best multiplayer on console. Re-making that is easily giving me 15+ days of play.

Did you forget TLOU actually has multiplayer, and some people regard it as a very good multiplayer experience? But what does time have to do with it? If someone hasn't played TLOU then getting the PS4 version is a no-brainer, and it's such a brilliant game that it is worth buying just for the SP. It's like buying movies, they don't change at all but you still watch them more than once, if they are excellent movies. TLOU is the sort of game I will play again because I want to experience it again. But I'll only pay for it once.

The only games I ever re-bought were Mass Effect 2 and 3, in oder to get ME1 on disc for PS3, and Dragon Age Origins, because that was the only way I could Awakenings so many years down the track.

I think MS should bring Halo 4 over to Xb one. Though the likelihood of current Xb one owners not having already played Halo 4 is lower than the likelihood of current PS4 owners not having already played TLOU.  I myself would have got Tomb Raider Definitive edition for PS4 if it didn't happen to be on the PS+ instant game collection for PS3 the day I joined PS+.

Stll isn't working. Don't know why :c  It is giving a error.

Is it a wallmart video ? lol



I thought it was kind of early, especially since I have not played the ps3 version yet. Now I have no reason to play it for ps3.

Thats why I think its always a good idea to wait a year or so before buying a new console. That gives them time to iron out any bugs the console may have and to accumulate a solid selection of exclusives and non cross gen multiplats. For PS4 right now its basically Killzone+Infamous+Knack and for One its basically Ryse+Forza+Dead Rising as games that cant be played on previous gen or competitors consoles.
