I don't know about you but I think that Forza cloud stuff is pretty damn cool. When more devs get used to the cloud and learn how to better use it features like that will only become more advanced.


My thoughts exactly. Also I am almost exclusively an online game so XBL and dedicated servers make me pumped.

I want all of these but in PS4 case mainly The Order that game looked cool as hell!

If you play a lot of multi player games that rely on P2P connections and get lag comped a lot that right there is reason enough to stick with the Xbox unless Sony offers the same thing.


Biggest issue for me right now. I'll switch to PS4 if all my friends are on there but dammit I'll regret it if PSN doesn't match the dedicated servers on Live.

I love racing games and yes I think that type of development is exciting and great.

Consider the possibilities. Exciting times for the xbox fanboy

I'm in the same boat. I'll eventually get both but trying to figure out which one first is the tricky part. Might come down to the launch titles.

As far as this DRM stuff goes for third parties, I don't know if Microsoft is looking less worse or if Sony is looking slightly worse.

My taste for online MP is dwindling, at least on console. I can get my fix with PC. I'm more about the single player experience now with consoles, something I feel that Sony has always offered, so this is an easy choice for me.

This has been my issue from day 1 of the xbone hate fest. Why should I care about issues that don't affect me?

I never knew PS fanboys were so altruistic.

If you're a singleplayer used gamer then you're a fool if you buy anything but the PS4. Anyone who enjoys the multiplayer experience has two great options with each offering something a little different. If PSN doesn't offer dedicated servers for MP then they are letting MS rule the online MP world again.

Would just like to 'lol' at all the "BOOM" posters in yesterday's PS4 E3 thread.

Microsoft said it was up to developers 5 days ago, its hardly back tracking. Sony just blatantly lied to one up Microsoft. An act of a broke down company.

What? This is exactly how it is on PS3, it's up to publishers.

Oh, and read here:

quote:

Sony has outright confirmed my initial interpretation. As reported by GameFront, Sony has stated that Tretton's use of the term "DRM" referred only to playing used games online. Essentially, they're talking about letting publishers use online passes, and no other kind of restrictions. This also sounds like Sony is scrapping its own online passes, which makes sense if PS Plus is the new online standard.

quote:

“The Online Pass program for PlayStation first-party games will not continue on PlayStation 4,” he said. “Similar to PS3, we will not dictate the online used game strategy (the ability to play used games online) of its publishing partners. As announced last night, PS4 will not have any gating restrictions for used disc-based games. “When a gamer buys a PS4 disc they have right to use that copy of the game, so they can trade-in the game at retail, sell it to another person, lend it to a friend, or keep it forever.”

I wanted to say this earlier but didn't want to get caught up in the pillow fight. I was eating ice cream and would have been uber pissed if it ended up on the floor.

So is that them saying if EA wants to charge an online fee to play their game, we can't stop them?

Xbox One has Ryse and Titan. But PS4 has infamous and is cheaper. DAMN...Hard decision.
