    Ps4

    So yesterday Sony posted a 45 second video on their PlayStation youtube channel which hinted to the date February 20th 2013. Now this is probably going to be the PS4 announcement. Personally I'm a huge fan of Sony and PS. Hope this is going to be an exciting announcement since it's been over six years since the PS3 came out.



    Also I know PC gaming owns but personally I think shooters are better played on consoles.

    I'm not likely to buy it, but I hope it looks like:

    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    I doubt it looks that good...all their other first versions look like they have eaten the previous generations and gained 10 stone :S

    I hope not, that thing's really bulky. Not sure if I'm all that excited about the Ps4 either. Apparently you can only play new games on it (according to rumors) which means no more buying or trading used games. You'll have to buy games brand new whenever you want to play them. But if this isn't going to be the case I'll definitely be getting one eventually.

    Shooters are better played on the PC because of the mouse for aiming and things such as Nostromo N52 TE and Logitechs G13 gameboards. Third person actions games like God of War and Darksiders are better played on consoles.

    I won't be getting 1, I think im done buying consoles. Just sick of sinking a couple hundred into the console, and then hundreds more on the games only to find out in a few years the next console doesn't play them. I mean seriously why is it so difficult to make them backward compatible, I still like some of my Ps1 and Ps2 games despite the graphics. Just wish they would overlook the fact of getting more money out of us to get games we already own

    Not gonna buy it, I see no reason to right now. I have a functioning ps3 and 360 that I hardly play.

    I'd never get one if they did that. I have TONS of ps1/ps2 games. I got the ps3 when it was released for new games & because I could play old games on them.

    It's the fact that they want us to buy new games, in some cases re-mastered games for xbox/ps3(looking at you halo and god of war) instead of playing your old games.

    Saw it on facebook when a sony rep who used to work in GAME posted it, he doesn't have a clue what it is but thinks it's to early for the PS4.
    Never know though

    Tbh that what i was going to do as well but i heard a wee rumor that it will launch with 2 versions...the basic and one with a 3d headset which might push me towards getting one if true.

    Or 3rd person games can be played on pc with a xbox 360 wired controller, which is what I do, most games that are cross platform require no controller setup and just work when you load the game as if it's the 360 version. I do have a 360 as well, but it's not played much, I had the 360 before my pc could play recent games as they came out

    If all you wanted to play was your old games, you wouldn't have a reason to buy the new console in the first place.

    What about the next gen console's games? There's a bunch of PS2 games I wish I could play on my PS3 but it's not backwards compatible so I'm having to wait for HD remakes and collections >.>

    So you never have the urge to pull out an old game and replay it? Odd ...I don't think he is saying he just wants to play old games, but sometimes some of us want to revisit things again. At least that's most of the gamers I know!

    No, I absolutely want reverse compatibility, but the idea that a new console doesn't have reverse compatibility BECAUSE they want you to buy new games doesn't hold water for me, because you wouldn't buy the new console unless you wanted to also buy the new games that can only be played on it.
