Here's a suggestion for the PS fanboys. Point out what the PS4 does BETTER than the Xbone. There are examples.


Better exclusives IMO. Also ATM Sony has the right to quite a few more exclusive series. This is my main reasoning.

One system has a clear cut policy on rentals and doesn't restrict them. I rent quite a few games.

Besides the TV aspect, which still hasn't been fully explained for MS (correct me if I am wrong), The PS4 will have pretty much all of the same entertainment apps.

They both are going to have cloud computing LINK
Even thought that really doesn't affect my decision, as I think the advantages of cloud computing, although viable, have been overstated. (IMO)

I interchange both controllers regularly as it is so controller is a moot point for me.

One is cheaper, smaller, and will have all the necessary online tools such as party chat...etc.

This is why I am buying a PS4.

I am interested in the TV situation, because I would love to get rid of cable. Not sure if the One will eventually get there, but that would be cool.

Go ahead...rip it apart.

I guess you have no idea how much data is tracked about you on an average day of being connected via any device that relies on a network.

SOPA was about piracy BTW so it really has nothing to do with this.

In other words...your argument is still dumb.

I think everyone is suspicious of all the new features on each console. But I don't think people should worry that the Kinect sensor will do anything other than ENHANCE their Xbox experience. I mean, I'm not a rocket scientist, but I would think that if MS was using the sensor for anything other than legit shite it would be outed quickly and we would all profit from their desire to spy

probably the best reasoning i've seen to date. can't really argue with any of that at this point in the game.

I would substitute in XBone and say the same to you.

And yes we know you are sticking with the PC for now.

Or is this the infamous Stout troll?

How do you know which are better when a lot of them are new IPs?

Only because you asked me to

Like you said, that's opinion. Too many of Playstation's go to exclusives are weak on gameplay and heavy on cutscene/atmosphere. Not my thing.

I haven't rented a game since Sega Genesis

quote:

It seems like MS is going beyond entertainment apps but I don't think this issue is worth debating.

quote:

Even thought that really doesn't affect my decision, as I think the advantages of cloud computing, although viable, have been overstated. (IMO)


As I said in another thread, MS would get blasted for that quote. Its vague and doesn't mention Sony server support. I get the feeling that Sony is putting all of that on the developers. If Sony doesn't offer dedicated servers this gen, that's a huge issue. I only play multiplayer and co-op.

quote:

One is cheaper, smaller, and will have all the necessary online tools such as party chat...etc.


$100 more for something you will have at least 7 years seems silly to worry about.
I'm not sure what the console's size has to do with anything. Generally speaking, each console will be placed in an interchangeable space.
Online tools that were lacking last gen and we've yet to see in action.

I don't think we'll see that anytime soon. Cable providers are still very powerful.

Nothing wrong with that. It's going to be great.

Will never play based on my type of game choices:

Crimson Dragon
Forza Motorsport 5
Killer Instinct
Kinect Sports Rivals

Didn't look extremely appealing at E3 and from additional hands on previews:

Project Spark
Ryse: Son of Rome: QTE fest

Don't know much about:

D4

Appealing:

Dead Rising 3
Quantum Break
Sunset Overdrive
Halo (5)


For the PS4:

All 5 of those games with the excpetion of Drive Clup appealed to me. I love the killzone and infamous series.

Then you bundle that with the series that Sony has rights to, as I said, and that is where my opinion comes from.

Without any of us playing some of the games, I have to make certain judgements on games based on what I see at E3.

Is that answer acceptable to the almighty Stout?

I am looking to purchase a gaming console.

And right now, the Playstation 4 is the better gaming console.

Did the Xbox One games at E3 look better, yeah, but they are launching titles, and I am not putting a lot of stock into those.

Not sure how either side can definitively say which console will have the better exclusives with so many new IPs that no one here has played yet. That's a silly argument to make.

Now saying a certain console's exclusives look more appealing to you is a different story but that's not what Taylor and others have been doing. They are saying it like it's a fact.
