Of course its a defenite step up from what FPS games looked like on previous gen consoles.

But not enough to get me excited. From what I've seen of next gen so far I'm not impressed at all

you wont be, its not like when the ps3 got launched that had revolutionary capabilties, the ps4 doesnt. the ps4 does have lots of gddr which allows devs to get lazy on vram optimisation aka watchdogs but otherwise its on par with a mid range pc.

Of course that doesnt mean I think its a bad console, for me what will make or break the ps4 is its content, of which there is nothing to excite me yet.

shame square enix aint copying everyone else and releasing on previous gen, this game still remains a next gen exclusive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XV

also this was going to be ps3, got changed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_III now xbox1/ps4 exclusive.

square enix are going to single handedly sell millions of ps4 units. first big games that arent FPS and next gen exclusive.

Seriously Swanny, if you played Killzone or Second Son on your own TV rather than just seeing it on YouTube the difference would be obvious. The visual clarity is the leap this time round and whatever anybody tells you, the visuals are right up there. When Uncharted lands we will get a better idea of what the future holds graphically, but remember. The previous UC games were famously well detailed. The only thing missing was the definition. It will look fantastic, but there will still be people hanging around saying it's average. That's simply how some people are.

but otherwise its on par with a mid range pc 95% of PC's.

I did see bf4 on a ps4, certianly did look different to youtube although the main noticeble difference was the framerate the visuals didnt look a whole lot different. But 60fps on it felt weird, too smooth, doesnt feel right. Should have been locked ot 30fps for better experience.

Nonsense.

in terms of all pc's it wont be 95% as a lot will be low end.

if we talking about just gamers, then maybe yeah it be over 80%, not at 95% tho, quite a lot of people own a gtx 780 or 770 and I put it on par with a 760 for processing power. Of course the real problem that is in 2-3 years time, these people will own more pwoerful 800 or 900 series cards, whilst the ps4 will be static. Thats why I am saying its underspec'd at launch, the ps3 was better than a high end pc at its launch.

The ps4 is about to drive a ton of new gpu sales tho, as watchdogs shows that devs are going to be lazy, and vram requirements are likely now to skyrocket on ps4 ports. The defacto vram on a average midend pc gpu is 2gig. Watchdogs needs more then that at high quality textures-medium detail.

FF15 due in sept 2015 I think so is a way off, not sure about kingdom hearts 3. When both available I get a ps4 probably.

no i haven't lost interest in Watchdogs and there is no reason why i would given what i have said about the game.


Not sure where your coming from with the phrase �Knowing your track record.?

I say it how it is Swanny and i buy a lot of games,which in my case will mean a fair bit of disappointment .

Are you for real.

The playstation 3 was better than a high end PC at launch,what with 256 of Ram.

Not sure about FF15, they look to be turning it into an Action game rather than RPG. Not sure if it will work, although I haven't been impressed by the last few FF games so perhaps this is what it needs to rekindle the love for it? They need to remake FF7, 8 and 9 for next gen, that would be brilliant. I would definitely buy FF8 and FF9 if it came out with modern graphics. I was never the biggest fan of 7 but I did enjoy it.

T2D I agree with you, I have been disappointed by the lack of games on next gen so far. I am really bored of gaming at the moment and spend whatever free time I have on a new MMO I have discovered on my mobile phone. I'm waiting for Destiny, Farcry and a couple of other games that all seem to be coming out in the latter part of this year.

As usual we will be hit with an abundance of games around the Christmas period and I won't know what to get first, but at least that should keep me busy into the first quarter of next year
