Sony PlayStation 4

How do we put our own music on the videos if we can't even store our music on the hard drive...
 
They need to add more media support for me, the PS4 apart from a few games of FIFA when I first got the machine and not even trying Killzone.

But my PS4 is currently back in it's box waiting for DLNA support and better support for media files, as in it's present state it has been ousted under my TV by the PS3, I seriously doubt my PS4 will see daylight again till FIFA 15 now.
 
Why did you buy a PS4 then? You bought it with Killzone and FIFA and have barely played either? I'm not criticising, just confused why you bothered buying one.

I'd like 3D bluray support and extra media stuff but first and foremost I bought it to play games on. I've really enjoyed FIFA, Killzone, Infamous, Battlefield, Resogun, Don't Starve, Trine, Outlast and Contrast. They're not genre defining games or anything but all have been very good quality games. I really don't know what people expect of a console within a matter of months of it being released.
 
I'd like it to at least match what the PS3 offers. Though a few of the features like custom soundtracks aren't of much use to me just now. 3D support would be high on my wanted list along with being able to use my own cap device.

I'd like to see some friend notifications with filter options so maybe it tells me if a friend is online on a game I own. But it's not a make or break thing.

And that's the problem, how can I justify buying a piece of kit which is inferior to what I currently have in my PS3 in areas.

That shouldn't be an issue, a PS4 should be a total upgrade.
 
Early adoption has its drawbacks. All these non-essential features will come as soon as the masses start migrating from the PS3 to the PS4.

I still cant get over how good the online service is now on PS4 compared to how terrible it was on PS3.

Sony really have listened to their consumers it seems. Played FIFA last night with a friend and it was like playing locally. Absolutely faultless - chat was like a telephone call, game runs smooth as hell. Popping in and out of Party Chat is a dream, I dont like to compare, but its all much more effortless on this machine than the Xbox One. Which is a surprise seeing how damn good Xbox Live was on the 360.

Very nice machine but needs more games and soon.

Thanks for the mini review Steak Bake.

Do you own both consoles?
I'm torn between which one to go for?

No problem friend :))

Yes I own both.

In my opinion, the PS4 is the machine to go for from what I can gather so far. The Xbox One is technically inferior for a start. Take Titanfall, for example. It's a flagship game but is very ugly.

I'm a graphics whore though so this does matter to me.

The PS4 is selling like hot cakes for a reason, really. It has an exciting future ahead of it I feel.

And this is coming from someone who LOVED the 360 and didn't like the PS3.

I feel the tables have turned. Get a PS4, you won't regret it plus PS+ is a better service than Xbox Live now.

Thats a ridiculous thing to say! LOL It can chug at times when there is loads going on, but dont let this comment put you off OP, Titanfall is a hell of a lot of fun and a hell of a lot going on in it, so you can understand the slight performance issues. Certainly doesnt detract from an amazing game.

That said (and I have both consoles too), if I absolutely could only have 1 console, I'd probably go PS4. Just everything about it is more polished. The online is better, the UI is much nicer, the controller (though personal opinion) is nicer - and the ability to stick any 3.5mm headphones into it is one of my favourite features of the next gen systems so far!

I've got most of my multiplatform stuff on the XBO as I got that first (and its digital so cant trade it in), so cant comment on those games, but the ones I do have (Killzone, MGS, Trials, Mercenary Kings, Resogun, Dead Nation, Dont Starve) are all excellent in all departments and I'm really happy with them.

Not to say the XBO isnt a very good machine. Some bits of it I really love - the TV integration, the voice commands (when they work) are excellent and the speed of which they are updating it with new features gives me hope that it will polish off to be an amazing console also. The games on the XBO are probably better/more rounded - Forza is superb both in looks and features as the Drivatar system using Big Data from the cloud makes it a racing game like no other.

Titanfall as I say above is one of the best games I've played in a long while, totally addictive, loads of original ideas and fun as you like. Plants v Zombies is a great alternative to usual FPS games and the way another person can join in using a tablet is really cool. Even the 'arcade' games are great too - Powerstar Golf, Max, Halo, Peggle all get their fair share of play time.

Too be honest, whatever console you get, you are going to get a brilliant machine, especially with the recent XBO price drop making it seem much better value.

So in summary... PS4, more polished and powerful - XBO, loads of potential and better games right now.
 
Great in-sight on both machines, thanks guys.

Might just go for PS4 a little later in the year after summer holidays when the weathers gone shit again and I'm stuck in the house.
Plus, there should be more titles by September/November to choose from.

It really isn't. I didn't say that it was a bad game, just that it's ugly for a 'next gen' title.

This has scared me to be honest - the games coming to PS4 in future look stunning and will be pushing 1080p/60 fps.

Sorry but I won't accept anything less in modern gaming - it's 2014 and the Xbox One can't handle 1080/60 a lot of the time which is a JOKE.

I have the Xbox One in the living room and PS4 in my home office at the moment but only really playing the PS4.

Better games on Xbox One at the moment is a bit of a myth for me too:

Titanfall - Good fun in short spells, quite limited experience, ugly as hell

Forza - Just rename it Borza for god sake. Never really liked the series tbh, and this feels like a demo at times - not enough content.

Ryse - This isn't very good. Like, at all.



PS4 does need new games though, and fast. I've been enjoying Strider - so difficult though!

Sounds like you just don't like the xbo full stop? What do you want from forza? It's a racing game, looks amazing and 60fps plus the drivatar feature is truly unique and does away with the standard follow-the-leader ai?

Strider is multi platform too isn't it?

Perhaps you should just sell your xbo? Sounds like you never gonna be happy with it?

Recommend unloading your Xbone. Sell it now and maybe purchase one next year plus when Microsoft release a sleaker Kinectless console that has some decent games, and is cheaper and potentially more powerful.

Might be worth "spoilering" those images, Airjoca? Not necessary to have them load on every page view, especially for viewers on a mobile etc.
 
Yeah they look miles better then the actual game itself. The game ain't as sharp as these photos for starters.
 
Sony's Oculus Rift Competitor Project Morpheus Will Be Demoed In London On April 30

project-morpheus.jpg


When Oculus Rift VR was bought by Facebook, a lot of people decided that Sony's Project Morpheus was going to be their new VR headset of choice.

We haven't seen anything on the Morpheus since the Game Developers' Conference, however, while Oculus has been stealing all of the headlines. Luckily that's going to change, as the Sony headset is going to be in developers' hands next week during a special event hosted by Develop in London.

Titled "An Audience With... Project Morpheus," developers will get to attend the event on April 30 and get some of the first hands-on impressions with Sony's answer to the Rift. Sony will also be providing some personnel to answer any questions:

"Central to the evening will be a panel discussion featuring representatives from PlayStation/Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and key third parties," Develop's page states.

"Speakers include Simon Benson (senior development manager at SCEE working on vision technology), Agostino Simonetta (developer relations at SCEE), Dave Ranyard (SCE London Studio, the developer behind Morpheus tech demo The Deep), and Patrick O'Luaniagh (founder of nDreams, a studio now dedicated to virtual reality experiences)."

Sounds really cool. Only 55 developers will be present to test the headset out and attend the panel, but here's hoping that some of the developers give us some firsthand impressions after the event.
