when you wrote "they didn't help with none of dark souls" i thought you meant that they did offer some assistance on those games, but I was unsure why if the game was multiplat.

Either way, I'm sure they'll achieve good performance for Bloodborne, at least better than what we've gotten before. The delay was probably so that they had more time to optimize it.
 
Apparently Sony didn't need to provide a killer IP this generation to fulfill the needs of the masses. 20.5 million units and still no first party games worth a shit would seem to debunk the "games" argument as well as the "exclusive" argument in the same breath.

Just goes to show if you build a solid machine for a good price with a well known brand name you will go places.

I will admit the console doesn't have much competition though so that may play a big factor but the thirst is real for a gaming console

Which is probably what we should gather from these numbers.

It just has the games people want. CoD, Battlefield, Ass Creed, etc.
 
Perhaps I'm not insanely picking, but I'm failing to understand the "no games" comments I keep seeing. At least to me, I'm interested in a bunch of games. FF Type-0, Dragon Quest Heroes, FFXV, The Order, Bloodborne, Assassin's Creed IV and Unity, Infamous Second Son, Killzone Shadow Fall, Batman Arkham Knight, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, The Witcher 3, DA:I, etc.

Can't wait to pick up a PS4 hopefully sometime around April.

You have to exclude anything 3rd party, or with a metacritic below 85, or indie, or sequel without huge advancements, or non-open world racer, or f2p, or non-f2p with day one dlc, or game with non-next gen gameplay ...

Ooh, I see a cheeky squirrel who hasn't played DriveClub!

i'm sure it'll be the best. in fact i think bb will look better than the remaster of dark souls 2 next month since bb is a game built from the ground up for current gen.

Don't forget that remasters, and titles that are cross platform between PS machines, don't count either.

might as well get the "ps4 has no exclusives" thing out of the way now since bloodborne is coming in 3 weeks

That doesn't count because it's from a Japanese developer.

This whole "no games" charade reminds me of that one Chappelle skit where they ask him what it would take to believe that R Kelly actually pissed on a girl.

Technically none of those are 'games' on the PS4. They are games on any other platform, so you should probably get them on an all in one entertainment system or a machine for doing spreadsheets.

I think porting Bloodborne to other platforms doesn't bring Sony as many as financial benefits as porting Street Fighter V. In addition, Bloodborne is their killer app after all and they can't risk killing their system seller just for the sake of a small portion of audiences on other platforms.

Not to mention that by making the game multiplatform, they'll have to sell even more copies of the game than ever before just for the company to turn a profit off of the game.

With a game like this being an exclusive, a company doesn't have to worry about selling a lot of copies just to make bank.

LOL that is great!

To be fair I didn't buy a ps4 to play indies.

Kind of curious what you did buy it for then? I mean a little research and you could have seen what games were coming and whether or not they interested you and even if you bought it for future games not yet released then not sure why you would make that comment anyway because nobody forced you to buy a PS4 now.

Not funny, that kid is probably dead now.

Seriously. People sure have a twisted sense of humor. Of all the images to use for making fun. I don't see how anybody could shy away from a little kid like that like those two women are. I'll assume if they hadn't, bad things would happen to them. Please let that be true.

FFXV baby. Indies are cool especially with ps+, they just aren't a priority for me.

No need to be so rough on Mitochondrion, he probably got that image from 4chan. You can take a lot more liberties with humor on 4chan than you can on GAF.

No worries, I don't actually play many indie games myself, in fact Fallout 4 and FFXV are the only two games on my mind right now, at least for the PS4.

Your comment just came across as you agreeing that the PS4 has no games. For me, I just have very picky taste is all. There are a lot of games on the PS4.

Karma isn't real. Those two girls probably walked away and went to a party.

I dunno. Maybe it'd be better if the kid's face was covered by the PC logo.

As it is, it's just depressing. ;_;

Nah I just meant like, maybe it was in North Korea and soldier were watching them or something with guns. I like to pretend that people aren't really that horrible. How else can I sleep at night?

Don't worry. It isn't just you, just ignore those comments, they have no validity with (even mildly) sensible people.
