The OS is great but no, PS3 had it beat in terms of backwards compatibility and PS1/2 had it beat in terms of raw native library.
if you count backwards...sure, ps3 make a titan jump...

Only 2 and 3 are worth playing though.
MGS5 is better than MGS2.
Not to nitpick, but the ps2 got FIVE silent hill games on it, not 2 lol.
SH2, SH3, SH4, Origins, and Shattered Memories all got a release.
Not true at all. 4 is a very good game. It's just not a particularly good silent hill game since its so different from the rest of the series, and has only tenuous links to the mythology.
Origins was originally a psp game and this shows...it's not bad but it's limited in what it tries to do. Shattered memories is really divisive. I don't like the game, but some people swear by it.
I consider the PS2 the best platform of all time due to its library, but boy people have some rose-tinted glasses and make it out to be untouchable. The PS4 can definitely catch up or even surpass it given the right releases.
XV stacks up pretty well with XII and is definitely better than X-2, but X obviously is on another level. This gen the western teams are just straight up better than PS2's era though, then it was Japan running the show in many aspects.
Yeah, they really nailed the PS4 design, reveal, pricing and marketing. They really capitalized on MS's mistakes perfectly.
And boy did MS mess up. ME and my gaming buddies were super easy sales for MS after maining 360 last gen. All they had to do was be equal or close in power to PS4, at the same price and not do anything stupid (like the game licensing stuff they tried to pull initially) and we'd all still be Xbox gamers. Now we all either only have PS4s, or main PS4s and play all our online gamers there.
Nintendo was I said has became irrelevant really. None of my buddies have/had a Wii U or cares bout Switch. I have a Wii U, but it's a very complementary console that just gets used here and there. If I get a Switch eventually it will be the same--just a secondary box for the few Nintendo games I still love and some palette cleansers to play something different than I can find on PS4/PC/Indies.
PS2 has like 2 or 3 times as many good/great games as the PS4.
Very little chance it gets dethroned.
Ask me again once this generation is finished. I wasn't calling the PS2 the best ever at the beginning of 2004 (which is the equivalent time point we're at right now), but it sure as hell was the best by 2008.
PS1 > PS2 > PS4 >>> PS3 for me
But PS4 is pretty damn solid right now
Okay, but how do you feel about opinions? I played a lot of every console, way more of the PS1/2 than anything else, and I am really enjoying the PS4. Probably because I have more clear memories of it, but I definitely would say for me the order currently goes 2>4>1>3 though. It's been great so far.
Remembering all the fantastic games for the PS2 has reignited my fondness of the console, reading the thread has been really nice (Not so nice in places, but that is the internet!) and that's why we make them. For discussion. And I have absolutely no problem discussing my opinions and others opinions.
I can't decide if failing to get my point across is my fault or yours right now, but you completely misunderstood the post. I only used OOT as an example because it's the first game that came to my mind to actually have a decent distance between releases. Comparing games a year apart like the person I initially quoted completely missed the point.
Yeah, and there's good reasons to believe PS4 will also hit its stride this year. We're off to a good start with Horizon. Looking at the calendar, this year is going to break my wallet if all the heavy-hitters meet their deadlines.
MGS5 is better than MGS2.
Is there a better game than Metal Gear Solid 2 on PS4 ?
You have your answer OP.
MGS5 might be one of the worst MGS console titles... and it's still an amazing game (which is to say how high the bar is for MGS)
MGSV is the only MGS that actually controls well and feels enjoyable to play. This is coming from a massive fan of the 3rd one. The franchise is often excused for its apparent weaknesses for some reason.

I haven't liked a Nintendo console since N64. I think their longstanding franchises are pretty stale, and they've struggled to make compelling new ones at the AAA level. To me, Switch looks like a lot of smart moves. I'm excited about the hybrid console/portable design, the hardware looks like something an adult might own. There's some weird decisions that might kill it (paid online, confusing controller situation, no conventional tablet functionality), but it's the first Nintendo console that remotely appeals to me in a long time.
