PLAYSTATION 4 | Satisfaction Thread: Greatness Awaits

Not open for further replies.
I've never pre-ordered a console before. I've been a big supporter of MS up until this point.

Just pre-ordered on Amazon.
 
the Playstation Launch is looking a little...thin. I hope we get some more games confirmed before launch.

The Dutch Gaming Show Game Kings has made list of games that would realistically come out within 1/1,5 years. That list was extensive and basically tied Xbone & PS4 pretty much, taking in account for things like AAA titles, Indies, 1st parties, third. They did not completely ty in all those categories but mostly, but overall, adding everything up it was pretty much a tie.
 
can't get one day one...but will definitely get with 2014 tax return probably with Infamous and Witcher 3....I am satisfied, but still not overly impressed with what new experiences next-gen will bring. but I'm still satisfied with this generation tbh, and just looking for quality experiences at this point. Would love to learn more about those 20 exclusives though, and please, can we finally see an RPG from Sony's WWS. I also hope FF15/KH3 has PS4 as lead platform to push the hardware and see if there's any noticeable differences between it and xb one.
 
Well since amazon added more launch systems with games and such. I opted for the butterfield 4 and PS+ bundle (499.90) ($10 off because of best buy's $40 PS+ cards). guess I'll go get my money back from best buy.

Xbox was my main console back then, the 360 my 2nd console (PS3 first choice), but for me no second console at this point. I also have much greater faith in Nintendo then Xbox at this point. If I would have a unexpected cash-flow it wouldn't go into a second console, maybe a handheld, maybe a PC upgrade, maybe even something different like clothes. But that contraption is not coming in my house. Regardless of price, literately if someone gave it to me for free I would not want it, I still don't trust that Kinect that's always on (even when it's "off"), even more so after the PRISM scandal.
 
I think the current bootsound is real dope.
It's like an orchester is preparing for the main event.

I do too, but I want something more instant. They talked about the PS4 reducing the delay from saying "I want to game" to actually playing the game. A short sharp boot would do that.
 
I just want that controller!! It looks like such an improvement over the DS3.

Sony REALLY listened to everyone. The PS4 is a complete 180 from PS3. I love it.
 
Amazon Canada still not allowing preorders. FUUUUUUUUUUUU....

I'm so stoked for PS4, it's not even funny. I was so burned out on X360/PS3 gen.

Quick boot confirmed!
I wish! Well if it's fast enough we don't need that option

I just want either console to start showing some JPRPG's. I want my next Gen Dragon Quest, Ni No Kuni, and Tales stuff! Also looking forward to colored controllers.
 
This is me when I first saw the next gen box.

-not bad, looks like a ps2. At least it's better then the Xbox VCR
(Next day)
...hmm it's pretty small. Nice use of space with the disk drive and USB ports. It's very subtle and seamless. The back looks pretty awesome like a jet.

(Later...)
Wow that blue line in the middle is actually a power button at the front....this thing is small. How the fuck did Sony make the ps4 more powerful and yet skipped right to slim version and made it less expensive (praise Sony engineers)

This thing is beautiful. It's edgy but also clean and subtle. You can put it vertical and get 2 looks out of it. It's pretty efficient and amazing. I love it and hope it doesn't it change. Can't wait.

Why would you want to play street fighter with that much input lag? Gross

There is not another option unless i plan on keeping my PS3 hooked up and honestly i can't say i keep my older consoles hooked up side by side.


I am not a fan of lag and actually only/prefer playing at SSF4AE on arcade cabinets.


With that being said i still would like an option of SF on PS4. I would have to try it before i assume there is lag.
 
They got launch bundles? I wonder if these are official bundles sanctioned by Sony and will be in all stores or if they're just like the bundles Gamestop always does around launches to gank customers?

Since Sony haven't mentioned anything I'm guessing they are just retailer bundles.

Sony were very specific in saying they were not talking about multiple SKUs at this stage and that $399 for the PS4 and DS4 with the 500GB HDD was all they were talking about.

I wonder if they had a psEye bundle ready for launch and ganked it to get to the definitive, unequivocal 399 launch price.

There's a LOT of promotional material with the pseye front and center, together with the console and the controller. Even their promotional guidelines would suggest that.

Have any of you ever played around with Remote Play before?( For the games that do support it). Seeing as the PS4 will require it, I'm thinking of buying a Vita again just for that feature. Is anything special needed to make it work correctly? Is the experience bad?
 
Nice to see Amazon land more launch units. Feeling pretty secure with my previous order and being pre-order #7 at the local Gamestop.

RP on the PS3 was pants because it had software encoding and devs had to give up processor time to support it. PS4 has hardware encoding and it's an OS feature that seems to have been planned from the start, so it should be better on the Vita.

does anyone know if all the F2P games on the PS4 requires PS+?

Fairly certain they said F2P games wouldn't require PS+. Could be wrong.
 
Gah! My money will be tight over the next few months.... must.resist.trading.current.consoles...

..but I must answer the call of the PS4!

PlayStation 4 (click to view in 3D)


Thanks to NeoGAF user ekim for sharing this amazing 3D render of my next console!
 
This is going to be the first generation since the SNES/Genesis generation that I don't buy all consoles. This time there will be only one. No Wii U, no X-Boner, just PS4.

Well done Sony on building a beast machine.
 
6 pages compared to the 37 pages in the Xboned thread.

C'mon GAF, where's the PS4 love?

According to current anti MS sentiment displayed in Neogaf, this thread should be overflowing with gaffers declaring their allegiance to Sony with a preorder lol.

I know I have lol.

To be fair, the entirety of Gaf's gaming side IS the PS4 appreciation thread.
I can see why Xbox loyalists would want a thread, it's crazy out there.

Loyalty shifts are awesome. You get to see who the real fanboys are. PS3 launch shone a hard light on some Sony fans, and now we're seeing the same happen to Microsoft's supporters. Me, I go where it makes sense.

Which is why I'm nudging a couple of people aside on the Sony couch and putting my feet up on their coffee table. Sup guys?

Wellcome.

So hyped.

Have my Preorder in at EB (paid in full) and another at Future Shop just as a back up. All my games and an extra DualShock are preordered. I'm in.

I was all in on Microsoft at the start of last gen and really happy with their direction. They lost me along the way. May still grab one when it's cheaper and Halo is out.
 
Just pre-ordered a PS4 over here in The Netherlands. Europe FTW! ;-)

PS4 will be the only next-gen console that I'll ever buy and need, I wish Sony all the best!

I say farewell to Xbox for good (and I own the original Xbox and 360).
