Playstation 4

Ability to play games while they download (wat the fak)

I remember this was supposed to be the case for Steam games when Steam was launched, I even believe they gave it a go with HL2 (it was supposed to load levels one after the other so you could be playing the 1st level while hte others loaded). Nice idea, not so easy to do for every game when most of the assets are shared and all. Might happen with some of the exclusive titles or something but I doubt all PS4 games will work like that.

I liked the ability to download a multiplayer portion of a game before the single player portion though. That was a neat idea since I guess some people just buy games for the multiplayer.

yeah this isn't gonna happen. You have to write your entire game code around this. It's just not worth it to implement.

I wonder if there's some sort of online service that lets you share games in a giant network? Does that exist? Or is games rental still legal in other countries?

I'm still undecided which console I'm gonna get first though, it's gonna depend on the day 1 exclusives I suppose. And not sure if I'll get Plus since most multiplayer titles are multiplatform anyways? I'd rather not have 2 online subscriptions to be able to play online. And dayum at that price! Sweet

Since I got a PS3 I realized how stupid it is to pay for XBOX Live. You basically pay 50 dollars a year just to be able to use netflix or play games... PS plus on the other hand gives you 2 or 3 free games every month and you don't need a subscription to use netflix (why would you need to anyway?)

You need Playstation Plus to play online on the PS4. Which I think is kind of a step backwards but since Playstation Plus has a lot of extra content that Xbox Live is only just starting to supply I think I would be worth it.

Looks like a lot of next-gen games are integrating online play very tightly into the core experience while still remaining story-based. A proper fusion of single-player and multiplayer. I'm actually excited about this even though the concept has never really appealed to me in the past. I guess I'd never seen it done well, whereas stuff like The Division, Destiny, and Titanfall look genuinely sweet.

This is going to have significant online architecture requirements I imagine, so that'll be where the subscription cost goes. Not to mention all of this awesome social and video sharing stuff. I can get behind that.

i really starting to like this guy every year more and more

' timestamp='1370977790' post='334998']Hell yeah, SSD HD's compatible, faster loading times!

They could make a Deluxe version with SSD out of the box. Would be cool.

In fact, Xboxone shoud use SSD out of the box, since people'll need to install games anyways.

lmao

Remember when there was concern that Sony lost all consumer support during the PSN outage? Yeah, I think they won a hell of a lot of that back.
