PLAYSTATION 4 | Satisfaction Thread: Greatness Awaits

Status
Not open for further replies.
The whole internet since press conference has been a giant satisfaction thread.

Do we have a confirmed launch day software line up yet?

we probably won't know until sony announces the release date unless some games can get done by october.

outside of first party that is.
 
Did they confirm backwards compatibility with PS3 titles? I know they mentioned something about DD titles, but what about physical copies of your PS3 titles?
 
preordered mine days ago; so far i'm underwhelmed honestly. there's like no games on shelves for it.

wait why ya'll talmbout Amirox here
 
It'll be my first Playstation console, too, but I had mine pre-ordered within minutes of their E3 show. :-)

The only reason i haven't pre-ordered, or getting the console at launch is that i'm not sure whether i'll have any money anytime soon. And if i do, other expenses first.
And that i'll want to hear about hardware reliability first.

But if i don't get the console right away, i reckon i'll open PS+ account and redeem games as they are offered, that way i'll have a small library of games by the time i get the console, assuming PS+ will stay as it is.
 
I would add replaceable HDD and region free as key features.

Haha, the OP wasn't finished. I was in the process of making it when this topic was made, so a lot of the media and bulletpoints I was adding in are incomplete now. :)

Anyway, I am pretty satisfied with the PS4 so far. I would like to see a handful of more compelling first party titles though to be really satisfied; I still feel like they're holding back on that front when they could still use one or two major games to get people excited for the PS4's future.

You should recruit GrandMaster for a little OT love when the real one is going up.

Who is officially doing it BTW?
 
Going with the Xbone this gen. Definitely want to give credit where it's due; You guys are in for a treat.

Hopefully at some point in the future I'll be able to afford both consoles.

Enjoy Destiny!
 
Love the price. And I know we have a lot of wealthygaf here, but for me, $500 would be something I'd not early adopt, but $400, yes.

And dat controller. I don't like the previous dual shocks that much. For whatever annoyed me about 360 that I eventually became a PS3 convert, I can't deny that the 360 controller was just a lot better.

The new PS4 controller looks to have addressed a lot of what I don't like, and I love the touchpad.

And while "the console not being enormous with a list of requirements ranging from hardware to software for me to be allowed to use it" and "being able to buy games and have some form of value in my games moving forward" may be things I always took for granted, it's now a major selling point. Call me old fashioned.

Day one!

Does Destiny actually have an exclusivity period? I thought it was just getting console specific content.
 
I was going to pre-order today from GS but I'm scared they are going to say they are sold out. :(

I was at gamestop today and they said they got their launch amount raised twice already. They still had a bunch of preorders left and they already had 30 preordered.

Even if they are sold out keep checking.

Console specific content, namely for Playstation(s). Apparently.
Bungie aims to release the game on all 4 platforms on the same day, i think. Was in some interview.

Four platforms? Xbone, PS4, PC..? or are we talking PS3 and 360? I had no idea that it was for old gen consoles too. If that's the case, the fact that the next gen version looks so next gen is more impressive.

PS4, PS3, Xbone, Xbox 360.
Cross-gen, no PC version confirmed, i think it is unlikely (perhaps later?).
EDIT presumably no cross-platform play of any sort.
 
I purchased my PS3 on launch and it is still going strong right up to the release of PS4.

Still reading all PSOne & PS2 games.

The controller feels great and the triggers are an improvement over the DS3.
 
Can't wait. First thing I'm going to do is take out the stock 500GB HDD and put it in my PS3 and throw a 1TB+ HDD into the PS4.
 
So I'm jumping ship from Xbox this gen.

Been exclusively an Xbox gamer since the release of the original. I was 16 when it was released and everything I wanted was in the Xbox. It was the future of Video Games and I wanted to be on that future train. I just can't justify the purchase of this next Xbox when the future they envision is so different from where I want to go.

PS4 all day baby. I've never been exclusively a Sony owner, but the Vita has already made me really excited for what they're going to offer.

There are rumors that it will be the same content plan as BF4; You receive missions and other DLC first, Xbox gets it later.

Just a rumor, though.


I could bet you'll receive a special cape or weapon specific to Playstation, though!
 
$399 is amazing! I was actually looking at my old posts and found this one in the "What possible E3 2013 Megaton could push you over the edge in hype?" thread to be very interesting...

PS4 priced at $399 launching with Uncharted 4/MGS5*



*is MGS5 current gen or next gen?

I definitely got my megaton(s) on monday with the exception of Uncharted

Yeah, it's crazy the game looks so fantastic despite being cross-gen. Maybe they gave up the current gen versions or something? I don't know. I know when it was announced it was for current gen consoles. The footage in their reveal trailer many months ago (despite being only 5 or 6 seconds of gameplay) looked garbage compared to this incredible new gameplay demo we have.
 
Got my pre-order set at the local GS. Didn't get the camera and not 100% sure what launch games to commit to, but it's a good start!
 
Oh, I foresee this thread getting big fast. It's going to be so great returning back to Sony after a whole missed gen for me.

Who is this?!

Interesting how they could push you away and i am sure you are not alone, i was there for launch on first Xbox and 360, I am a gamer and as such i tend to eventually purchase all consoles.

I am impressed with your ability to just resist an entire generation?
