So how many are picking up Second Son at release? I still have infamous 2 to get through (and I didn't love the 1st one) so I'm gonna wait for a sale.

I preordered the Collector's Edition at GameStop at the end of January *even though the cover art is garbage compared to the limited edition...* BEYOND psyched for next Friday!

So Timbo is finally going to pick up his PS4 with Infamous right?
Click to expand...
sadly no.... something happend and all my tax return money went to that issue. Which sucks seeing amazon now has them in stock. But once my gamestop gets order in i might trade in my ps3/360/ couple x1 games to pay for a ps4.

but thanks for asking :D/

Imagine that, timbo is now magically not getting a ps4.

Agreed. IMO, DS4 is light years ahead of DS3. My only gripes are battery life, my sticks are starting wear and the L1 button is starting to stick. I know there have been a few other CAGs that have experienced some of these issue as well. Otherwise, the DS4 is greatly improved over the DS3.

I dont get how people are having issues with their ds4. I play my ps4 at least 10+ hours a week, mostly fifa 14 right now so the left stick gets a major workout and I have no issues with the grip coming off or any buttons sticking. Maybe they just had a bad batch of controllers or something?

I've been wondering this as well, I mean there obviously has to be some sort of problem with the handful of people that have reported problems - but mine, which I've had since launch, has shown no signs of wear whatsoever... I've probably put at least 150 hours into the system thus far so it's not like its hardly been used either. :lol:

Fifa14 is all that I've been playing lately on the PS4 as well. I have no idea why the left stick started to peel. I still own 3 original DS3 controllers and they are all in pristine condition after years of heavy usage by myself/old roommates. So, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong per se.

Eh, i dunno. People are buying Titanfall but people don't seem to be buying Xbox One to play titanfall. At least in my area stores are still fully stocked with Xbox Ones while PS4s are still hard to find. And PS4 does have Infamous coming out.

Sony also has more stock in the US finally. Amazon has had them in stock since yesterday--just checked and still available. I got one at Costco that had about 15--only the 2nd time I'd seen any in the wild.

So having more stock, with pent up demand from them being hard to find the past couple of months in the US along with Infamous coming out could keep PS4 on top again. I originally thought March would go strongly X1, but now it looks like it will be close in the US and Sony should win world wide with the Infamous bundles in Europe etc.

Yeah, it being some bad batches seems to be the consensus as reports on more active sites like GAF are the same. Some getting rubber wearing off after a month, others playing a ton more and having no problems.

I like the sticks as is, so I'm not bother putting any grips on them. If the rubber starts to wear, and I always buy grips later.

I do need to get something to cover/dim the light bar though as I get annoyed by that since I play in the dark a lot and my TV's screen is glossy/reflective.

Edit: Just ordered a 2 pack of decals for the light bar with the Playstation logo cutout. Went with that one as it's little cut out so should dim the light a ton, but can still see color to tell controllers a part, make sure it's charging etc.

I think it's because people mentioned in the past you wouldn't do it, now here you are, not doing it. And I apologize if this comes off as a cheap shot on you, but you have said a lot of questionable stuff in the past that people have called you out on. So don't be surprised when people are doubtful on your reasoning, especially when you have been more pro-xbox and critical-PS4.

Don't take this as me caring, do what you want with your money. Just trying to clear up what I assume is the reasoning for that comment.

 
i said since last year second son is why i would buy ps4 but hey stuff happens. but this is last time im talking about it seeing it's not needed here but some reason these ps people seem to love to bring non ps4 stuf up in this thread.

 
It's also the hypocrisy of him bitching about people who don't own X1s complaining about the X1 in it's forum/thread when he spends so much time over here doing the same about PS4--and not owning 1.

But honestly, the people that troll him are just as annoying as he is as it keeps him around and gets the thread off topic.

As more information unfold for The Order 1886 today. The official playstation magazine uk is teasing a series of "massive" significance being confirmed for PS4 next month. Let the guessing begin...
Click to expand...
According to people who have the magazine now, I don't think anyone guessed what it really was:

Batman: Arkham Knight

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/03/14/opms-ps4-series-of-massive-significance-teased-last-month-isnt-what-most-expected/

Now let the disappointment set in...

batman has massive significance in the batman universe for someone finally making a good batman game, but in the gaming world in general, its not that important of a game.

not sure about that both. batman games rocksteady has made were talked about as game of year for most people the years they were released.

i was talking about the uk ps magazine having a gamereveal this month not the release date :wall:

Wasn't Uncharted's game reveal almost two years out seeing as the rumor is 2015. Or how about The Orders reveal last year at the PS event? it won't be coming out till fall at the earliest. Games are revealed way ahead of the release. I hardly believe 7 months is a long time?

 
:wall:  my point was if uk magazine was hyping a game announcement. I would think they would have a deal in place with rocksteady to make the offical announcement. That all would have made sense seeing rocksteady is a uk company......       :beer:

That is very disappointing, I was hoping for a Crash reboot reveal, but I guess they're saving that for E3. :lol:

Sorry man, I do hear you guys have a lot of good talent coming up within the next couple of years so maybe this more recent batch of suffering will end soon(but hopefully not as I am a Braves fan). I actually don't mind the Mets - can't stand the Phillies though. ;)
 
So the same insider that first reported that Titanfall is only 720p and runs at 30fps on the 360 is also reporting that EA is regretting their decision of not bringing Titanfall over to the PS3 and PS4 too. Apparently what Microsoft gave them is not going to be close enough to cover the lost sales that would have occurred if they released it on the PS3 and PS4 as well.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=104292807&highlight=#post104292807

The same insider also mentioned that inFamous Second Son is getting a lot of buzz among social media and gamers too.

http://gamingbolt.com/infamous-second-son-leading-titanfall-in-social-metrics-ea-sorry-for-not-bringing-titanfall-to-ps4

Would be crazy if inFamous Second Son on the PS4 sales more than Titanfall on the Xbox One.

little strange they would raise the price after release. it's still lower then the xbone so sony will stillbe swimming in even more money.
Click to expand...
Did you even take the time to read the article you linked? Change in price is due to the weak Canadian Loonie. I'm not going to take the time to explain weak vs strong currency and exchange rates, but thats the reason for the price hike.

That and Canada just sucks. Its like living in the apartment above a great party you are not invited to. You can hear all the fun and excitement but you cant join in.

I think it will all depend on how you count sales... In the US, I think Titanfall will outsell inFamous. World-Wide, I think inFamous will outsell Titanfall.

I think EA had to make the decision for it being an exclusive prior to the announcement of the Xbox One and PS4. They didn't anticipate the backlash to the Xbox and they really couldn't have anticipated the PS4's sales. What will be interesting to see is how quickly they'll release TItanfall 2.

I actually wouldn't even be surprised if they changed their mind completely within the next year... Remember Mass Effect? "Mass Effect is Microsoft Exclusive only everyone.", "Ok, Mass Effect 2 and 3 are coming to PlayStation, but ME1 is will always be Microsoft exclusive.", "Hey guys, ME1 is coming to PS3!". :lol:

Yeah it would but I honestly think that Titanfall will outsell inFamous worldwide given the type of game it is and the audience it is targeting.

Finally less then a week until Infamous! This is one of the reasons I purchased a PS4. Along with the fact that Sony makes top notch Products.

[attachment=3696:image.jpg]

Is it safe to say Next-Gen starts 3-21? For PS4 owners, I'd have to say Yes! Yes! Yes!
After reports saying the graphics had been toned down, I'd have to think those reports were wrong. Seems like those low quality screenshots weren't grab from the PS4 after all. It's basically like trying to take a picture of your TV screen from your phone. Regardless of the reason, the pictures in this post look amazing and I can not wait till this game drops! I work 11AM-10PM on Fridays, so I'm going to have to wait until I get home from work to finally get to play it. At least I'm off on Saturdays and will have all next Saturday to spend in Seattle.

im sure ms paid enough money to cover the sales they would have got on ps3/ps4.

I 100% doubt that. It means that MS would have had to known that they were going to be outsold in system sales. I'm sure they fed EA some line of horse $hit about projected sales. But it doesn't bother me to see two shitty companies screw each other over.

well you could be right according to respawn devs titanfall was only going to be pc only game until ms came to them about the new system. So it's highly likely ms had to pay almost nothing to get it on x1/360.

activision is a shitty company and im sure you will be giving them 60 bucks for destniy in sep i know i im. Sadly most of the better 3rd party titles are published by shitty companys.

I will remind you if you forgot last gen sony was same spot ms was so we all know in this world most companys can be shitty.

I am pretty sure Microsoft paid EA very well for the Titanfall exclusive at that time when the deal was made. EA loves money so the decision to make it an exclusive has to be well thought out of in the first place. But now when the dust has settled, it was the wrong choice for EA given what the insider has reported:

"Sony also used it's own metrics in a meeting with EA last week and showed them what they would have sold on the ps3 and ps4. The money EA took from MS doesn't even begin to cover it. The EA guys went over the math and agreed. EA is in full "We're so fucking sorry, Sony" mode currently.

Also, Titanfall 360 is 30 fps. That's just for free for reading my post."

TF2 will definitely be coming to the PS4, but I would have loved to see how well Tifanfall would've run on the PS4. According to DF the Xbone version isn't that great with screen tearing and FR drops.

screen tearing and fr drops are going on in pc version also. At this point the source engine is out of date and really not sure why they used it. it seems peole call fram rate drops when your in titan and your titan is about to die and you can almost see nothing on screen. Respawn already explained why it did that and it's not frame drops it's a design in game.

i really hope if they do make titanfall 2 they use dice frostbite engine that would make game look amazing. A game like titanfall when you have titans blowing up and missiles going all over it's dieing to be built with frostbite.

Even with those mentioned issues the game is still fun.

If they make Titanfall 2 I hope it has a single player campaign and a co-op mode.
