True. I really don't mind that much. He's my roommate so it's gonna be at our crib for him to play too regardless.

But I would prefer the midnight release so I can break it in.

That feeling of opening the box >>>>>

My roommate is getting his from gamestop, I think theyre doing a midnight release. 

Im getting mine from amazon, wont get it until that morning (hopefully).

Kinda salty he gets to open his 1st. 

 

[bamez]

my brother went to the GamestopExpo today... I'm jealous, said the lines to play the games are too long.  They're giving away a free PS4 later today too.  Was gonna try and post his pics, but just check the #Gamestopexpo #Gamestopexpo2013 tags on twitter and IG.

Don't worry just think of all the poor people who can't afford ps4s.

Warms my heart.

I think he does it to match his smile in his avatar
That's all I can think off.

Gamescom: Battlefield 4's Graphics Lacking on PS4

First next-gen demo raises concerns.
by Scott Lowe AUGUST 23, 2013

With the arrival of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, EA and DICE have promised to bring the Battlefield PC experience to consoles, including massive scale maps, 64 player matches, and 60 frames-per-second gameplay. But up until now, all of the demos we've seen of Battlefield 4 have been running on supercharged PCs, producing jaw-dropping, unsurprisingly gorgeous results. This week at Gamescom, however, I had an opportunity to play Battlefield 4 on a PlayStation 4 development system, and the resulting experience has me worried.


In spite of EA and DICE's emphasis on narrowing the gap between consoles and PC, this week's PS4 demo did not include a full 64-player match or the franchise's beloved vehicular combat. Instead, attendees were treated to a local 16-player match of Domination mode, which limited the play area to a small segment of the game's freshly minted Paracel Storm map. While certainly a demonstration of how the game can be scaled down to satisfy players' need for object-based infantry combat, it's hardly living up to the promise of the "true" Battlefield experience's arrival on consoles.

But what's more concerning is how the game looks.

From the moment I sat down, I was surprisingly underwhelmed by the visuals. Instead of the crisp, detailed textures I've encountered this week on the PC version or other titles running on next-gen hardware, Battlefield 4 on PS4 looked soft and muddled. Wall textures looked half-finished, lacking some of the smaller material nuances or 3D variation. Environmental destruction was more extensive than Battlefield 3 and explosions would send larger chunks of buildings into the air, but once again, the particles looked dull. Weapon models looked great at the hip, but as soon as I raised them to look down the iron sights or scopes, imperfections became apparent.


Another contributing factor was resolution. While EA and DICE have not confirmed what resolution the game will run at on next-gen consoles, for the purposes of this demo, it was running at a resolution higher than 720p, but not 1080p. Though the difference between the two formats may not be recognizable to more casual players, after spending the week checking out games running natively at 1080p, it was readily apparent to me.

So he went from a super high end gaming rig to a ps4 developmental kit and was disappointed cause it didn't look like the super high end gaming rig  where the graphics card alone cost more than a PS4

What am I missing in this story here

 

[dabottom305]

He was paid to say that.

 

[thehealthinspector]

this is the same moron that just posted about how no ps4 games were being shown at gamescon on a retail ps4

the ******g idiot doesnt realize that retail ps4s are for running retail games, there are none

 

[blackboyfly]

People are trying to find anything to trash the PS4. Won't matter. The king has returned

Only thing stopping Sony from selling 120 Million PS4s and having their third 100 Million selling console is a complete meltdown on their part.

But according to Microsoft they have the greatest launch title games in the history of any console launch ever

 

[blackboyfly]

Killzone alone is outselling Ryse, Dead Rising and Forza combined. And Killzone is 'trash' according to Xbox fanboys

Told yall, return of the king

SN. Xbox players really do just play COD

Damn I didn't know these games were on sale yet.... Ohhhhh these are preorders that we are speaking of.... Oh yeaaaaa more preorders means Sony has won! yay

 

[thehealthinspector]

might as well, history tells us that other company never won anything

 

[Gordonson]

You need a hobby son

 

[blackboyfly]

^^^^ You taking Rustys spot while he's away Jetpac? If so step it up homie

 

[strictlyairjordans23]

By that logic..... Wii>ps3 and 360

I guess the Wii won this generation's "console warz"

use whatever logic you feel like using

these dudes thinking that other company dominates gaming

how can a company thats never been on top dominate gaming

 

[strictlyairjordans23]

Don't worry,

Someone somewhere is angry that their favorite video game box is selling less than someone else's favorite video game box.

As you were...

 

[thehealthinspector]

probably you, otherwise you would have kept it moving

Stop

It's universally accepted that the Wii was nothing but a fad that quickly faded.

Either way, Microsoft came out in last place.

Man I love this It's 06 and 2000 all over again.

Meh,

I enjoyed all the games i played throughout this generartion. Gta, Red Dead, FIfa, Forza, Asassins Creed, Gears, Borderland, and many more.

If i have a similar experience, then im happy.

I didn't give two sh*ts when MS posted their "For the 30th straight month the 360 is the highest selling console in the country" BS articles.

What is corny and dorky is people talking about dominating gaming, "the king", and sales figures, as if it were a presidential election.

My point is, it's pretty lame and snobby to brag about which plastic box sells more.

Let the stockholders have orgasms over sales figures.

 

[blackboyfly]

Typical response

When those stock holders aren't happy because the competition is dominating it's bye bye to your favorite console.

See Atari, Sega.

Funny you mention Sega. My favorite console of all time is and will always be the Sega Genesis, which sold less than the SNES. Followed by the PS2, which is the best selling console of all time.

So, what's your point?

Brand loyalty?

Sony generates most of their profits from insurance, and it was rumored that they were supposedly thinking of selling it's electronics department (including Playstation).

Of course that's not happening but, what if your favorite console were to go bye bye?
