I was leaning towards a PS4 but now that Microsoft has gotten rid of the DRM and dropped the Kinect requirement, I'm thinking about the Xbox. I don't do a lot of gaming these days anyway but I know I have relatives and friends who will most likely go with the Xbox and I'd like to be able to play with them sometimes.

I was hoping to not buy two consoles this gen, since as I mentioned I don't play a lot of games anymore and I doubt I need to spend nearly 1000 dollars on consoles. Aside from a few exclusives these systems are going to be exactly the same thing.

They did not drop the Kinect requirement. You still have to buy it and although they say you can turn it off, this off button is software based and is not a physical switch you can hit meaning kinect can still be reactivated remotely.

A few days ago it was announced that the Xbox One will now function even if Kinect is physically unplugged. (it seems like something changes every single week)

But yeah, all of the announced "in-game uses" for Kinect so far sound lack luster. Stuff like hearing noise to attract zombies in Dead Rising 3 ... sure that's just what I need, a game that completely spoils my stealth every time a roommate walks in or the dog wants outside. Or leaning over to peek around corners ... sure that's just want I need, a game that misinterprets getting comfortable on the couch or leaning over to fart as an in-game command.

I'll be getting both at launch. Neither console has a strong launch line-up so far, awaiting GamesCom to hear if anything gets announced/added for the launch games that I might be able to throw a pre-order down for.

Getting none, i got my PC. A lot games come out for PC too and often they cheaper and look better. Beside that i rarely play games nowadays would be a waste of money to buy a console.

Going to stay away from both. Hardly play my 360 and ps3 now. Plus I still have alot of good games to catch up on before I jump to a new console.

I probably won't get either when it gets released. I'd probably end up getting the PS4 over the Xbox1 regardless...

I wait 2-3 years after launch to see what games were good, and let people start trading in their shit to scammy game stores so I can get it cheaper used.

I’ll probably wait a couple years as well.

I was thinking its time to finally get a CMVS.


I'm sure eventually I'll pick up a PS4, but I've barely touched my PS3 in the last year or so so I am not that motivated to drop a large chunk of money (for a poor ass grad student like myself) for something that may not get much play.


I guess I'm past needing the "newest shiniest" thing in my life. Practicality and cost-effectiveness are too influential in my life nowadays. It's a good thing I guess. Also explains why I keep this half broken 5 year old 120gb ipod classic I have. SURE I'd love to have a fully working 160gb version, but half working is ok for now.


MGS5 will probably get me to drop the cash. Hell MGS4 got me to buy a PS3, if it wasn't for that I may not have bought one until SF4 came out.

PS4. Mainly for the SEGA exclusives.

SEGA has some exclusives for the PS4? Why would it considering they would make more money releasing games on both platforms? The only way that SEGA making an exclusive on any system makes sense to me is if it is on a Nintendo system, like a Mario and Sonic game.

PS4 - off the back of owning all the other Playstations at some point. I've always enjoyed them.

Anything carrying either Microsoft or EA logo's are safely avoided at all times.

All times.

All.

Don't know if any titles have been announced for PS4 but the yakuza series has been playstation exclusive, seems reasonable to assume that trend would continue.

I just was getting a feel for what people thought. I really only use these systems to play fps games with old friends. I am torn between the two and wanted good opinions. Im sure I will eventually own both but for now on launch im gonna grab a ps4. Im so out of the loop on what is happening with the systems and I always get good feedback here.

I don't know about this. Ryu Ga Gotoku 1&2 was ported to the Wii U recently. Yakuza 5 also uses a new engine, so I doubt Sega is going to make a new one anytime soon for next-gen. I think they're trying to test the waters whether it'll be viable to make the series PS3/Wii U multiplatform at the very least.

As for the main topic, I'll be taking a wait and see approach on the new consoles until there is a decent amount of games I want. It'll mainly depend on the Japanese games and exclusives as most of the multiplatform releases will probably end up seeing a PC release.

This comment screams "Xbox One" imo. Presumably you used to engage in FPS games with old friends on the 360 originally?

It's a fair assumption to make but, has there been any confirmation whatsoever that Yakuza 5 on PS3 will be receiving an English translation for US & UK yet? I'm more concerned about that at the moment...

I'm thinking wait-and-see at this point. For Wii U I'm still glad I don't have one and the only announced title that made me turn my head was SMT vs Fire Emblem. For PS4 and Xbone the S-E titles are intriguing but S-E games are reaching the point where they are no longer safe to blind buy. PS3 has Beyond: Two Souls and a true Disgaea sequel on the way which beats any of the 3 launch lineups.

Originally I was PS4 all the way but when they announced that Titanfall was going to be an Xbox exclusive title I have to get it instead as that's the main game I want to play. Right now on my PS3 the only games I really play are COD but only multiplayer as I like those types of games.

Master Ip. I am disappoint. Your fists of fury would be much better spent punching holes through Microsofts Xbox's as opposed to open-handedly embracing them. Easy pickings, as Xbox's... don't hit back.
