We feel the same about the PS2s first year (Dreamcast ftw!) but its second Christmas was legendary!

And before the big guns (Ico, MGS2, DMC, THPS3, SSX2,Kinetica, Jak and Daxter, SH2, and more), we had NBA Street, Red Faction, Zone of the Enders, Onimusha,etc.

Aside from a few disappointing games, and last gen ports, my PS4 experience has been lackluster.  Speaking only for myself, though.  MGSV shouldsatisfy


Well, except Ico, jak & Daxter (only the first because the others were meh) and MGS2 that were truly legendary, I still think that the rest of the games were (and still are) overhyped compared to the games we had on dreamcast, N64 and gamecube that aged much better than the PS2 games you mentioned. 

Or maybe I wasn't that much into that type of games.

Well SSX was really fun except for the fact that the bad 50hz port made the game running with constant judder somehow, which was very upsetting.

but you at least saw games that can in no way be done on the previous hardware. gears of war was groundbreaking, remember? the ps3 had a bunch of new experiences you absolutely couldnt do on the ps2 as well. and there was also the wii which had a completely new way to play the games, but i dont know if that is relevant to this discussion. these 8th gen consoles are just so lackluster, im sorry.


LOL what? Gears could have easily be done on last gen hardware, just drop the graphics down..there was nothing ground breaking about it. The only thing those games had that ps2 could not be done was graphics....which can be scaled down...sory but thats nonsense.

I think you'll find in previous generations we had games with guns or chainsaws as seperate entities. it was only using the specially designed hardware inside the Xbox360s tri core heart were they able to run the game engine on 1 core and a Gun and chainsaw simultaneously on the other 2 cores making gears of war possible.

devils may cry over the sarcasm.

Looks alright to me. It's not really the PS4's fault of some developer's inability to choose the correct platform.

Yes, compared to previous generations with current global economy conditions , especially Japan, the whole world not to mention casual gaming and STEAM as indirect competitor. PS4 already surpass it's predecessor.

if you are not agree try to compare with Xbox brand and Nintendo Consoles with their own predecessor

Not yet, but too early to tell...



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Too early to say. But I prefer the competition over the ps4, which is a not a good sign
