Happenstance Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I never even bothered picking up a Dualshock 3 this gen.
LegoMan1031 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I never even bothered picking up a Dualshock 3 this gen. I would struggle to play multiplayer with my god without one!!
flameboy Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 There were rumours that Xbox One would release on same day as CoD and Battlefield as PS4. However Battlefield's "no show" on PS4 makes this seem doubtful even though it is obviously still coming to the system.
bryanee Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Late October for the States and early November for Europe.

Could just be the case that Microsoft 'bought' Battlefield 4 to only be shown on Xbox One for E3?
Cube Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Could just be the case that Microsoft 'bought' Battlefield 4 to only be shown on Xbox One for E3? Huh? The Xbox One version wasn't at E3.
LegoMan1031 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Huh? The Xbox One version wasn't at E3. I'm on nights this week and have only recently woke up... forgive me! It was shown at their conference though wasn't it? I seem to remember seeing it on that. Now I'm not sure what @flameboy point was at all... *Should probably go back to bed*
Cube Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 The singleplayer was shown during the Microsoft conference (with a clearly visible backspace button on the screen) and the multiplayer was shown during E3's conference via 64 PCs.

Ah ok. I never watched EA or Sonys conference live this year. But i'm sure I watched 'highlights... Edited June 19, 2013 by Mike1988uk

Yeah that's what I mean about the singleplayer appearing during the Microsoft conference. So the date rumours with Battlefield aligned with PS4 so to speak are perhaps not true.
dwarf Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The games showcased so far have convinced me the upcoming generation has great potential, but there isn't one title in particular that I really want. Had I not subscribed to Plus I would've toyed with the idea of selling my PS3 on too, despite only buying one a few months back. I've played what I needed to play - Dark Souls, BioShock: Infinite, Journey, The Unfinished Swan, The Last of Us and Shadow of the Collossus, and now the console will only really be useful if I fancy the odd burst on multiplayer. I'm not huge on GTA, Beyond looks skippable, and there doesn't appear to be a swan song on the horizon. I guess for me, it was The Last of Us. I would be perfectly content for the current cycle to end on that note.
Daft Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida Confirms that PS Vita Remote Play of PS4 Games Will Work Through the Internet Nifty. Edited June 24, 2013 by Daft
Agent Gibbs Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 And that right there is why i'm glad i bought and have kept my vita! now it won't just be a psone emulator, it will be a psone and ps4 emulator of sorts!
flameboy Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I would keep the PS3 anyhow because of plus and the fact its useful as a second blu ray player etc. and thats the long run. I still intend to buy PS3 games for a while. Maybe the last big game for me is GT6. But I have a feeling there is more. I agree that many of the games are just your enhanced PS3 games coming. I was hoping there were more next gen only stuff. But what do you expect from the likes of Ubi, EA and Activision? BF4 is similar to BF3 with better faces and physics effects. I was expecting more. I dunno. I am still getting it on PS4. At least i can resell it unlike on PC. Not touching single player this time. In the e3 demo the player barely moved afew feet :p This is where the indies, next gen only games and other digital games, free to play games etc. come in that most people are not listing. Right now we dont have the full lineups and dates. I like the overall look of games. Battlefield 4 looks so awesome. Looking forward to 3 on Plus next month. Just one of those games I never got round to buying despite being in the beta and loving it.
Deathjam Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Sony sent me a 30 day code for PS+ which I gave to a friend. But this draws a few questions for me: 1. If I used that 30 day code, would I have gotten a free 30 days of PS+ on top of what I have already? 2. My friend has access to my playstation account so he can download what I buy off the store and vice versa, but can he now do the same with PS+ games with the games I got from previous months for free, that are now gone, and maintain them with his own + subscription? 3. How does one check how long they have left on their subscription?
Deathjam Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Account management -> Services1) No. I dont think so. Give it a try. It wont confirm your redeem likely. 2) Your friend's account is separate from yours. Since you guys are sharing he is just being shared your PS+ stuff. 3) Account Management -> Services Will let you check your subs and cancel or auto renew etc. Has alot of other junk too. Well he redeemed the code, says he has 90 days :S Also he can see my entire download history and is taking what he wants right now.
MATtheHAT Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Sony sent me a 30 day code for PS+ which I gave to a friend. But this draws a few questions for me: 1. If I used that 30 day code, would I have gotten a free 30 days of PS+ on top of what I have already? It would not have worked. I tried it myself, and even though I am not a current subscriber, I had subscribed previously therefore was ineligible. It's for new customers only.
Ellmeister Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Anyone know of any deals going for new consoles - in particular the PS4 yet? I'm thinking it may be a bit early for the offers to start just yet though.
Daft Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 You can pick up a PS4 from ShopTo for £348.98. Bargain.
Rowan Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 £340 on Toys R Us I'm thinking of holding out until Infamous is released. Though it would mean resisting Watch Dogs until new year too. GTA will probably keep me busy and the new PES is meant to be good....
Daft Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 This'll give people a better idea of PS4 controller's size.
Retro_Link Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 The guys on GT Invisible Walls said it was really comfortable, and generally more so than the XBone controller.
flameboy Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 The guys on GT Invisible Walls said it was really comfortable, and generally more so than the XBone controller. Yeah both Giant Bomb and Weekend Confirmed podcasts also seem to be taking that stand. Once change I'd like to see is a less shiny touch pad. Isn't the back of the Vita textured somehow? I think I'd prefer that! In other news amazon started taking preorders here... so $399 stand alone or $450 with either Watchdogs or Battlefield 4 or $499 with Killzone and a year of playstation plus.
Shorty Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Both the controllers are really freakin' ugly, but the PS4's slightly moreso. It looks like a third party PS3 controller. And why does the d-pad still get so much room on there, considering you hardly ever use it for movement...
Daft Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Pretty much all controllers are ugly. The DS3 looks duff, it's only redeeming feature is it has become iconic.
