Red 75 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The PS4 performing that well is weird considering its relative lack of high caliber exclusives. I don't think it has had a killer app with a wide audience. But that's the power of marketing and swaying public opinion. Microsoft is still recouping after the disastrous launch of the Xbone.

King Mark 3,631 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 well, the PS4 has a lot more RPG's announced than Xboxone for sure, so that's enough for meDragon Quest XI looks amazinghttp://www.rpgfan.com/news/2015/3563.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft is still recouping after the disastrous launch of the Xbone.Yeah, the PS4 outperformed XBone because former Microsoft customers felt Sony did more to please gamers in the long run. All M$ did during their presentations of the Xbone was make a fool of themself, because of all their stupid decisions.Anyone here ever had games crashing on the PS4 ? (any game)Yes, I had it crash once or twice, but it's been a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 My PS4 would crash at a certain point in th Battlefield 4 campaign, but that was because of DICE. It has happened maybe once or twice unexpectedly with other games but not in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Mine hasn't crashed since that time when BF4 came out. Seems fine to me. Noisy as fuck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Mine's not noisy, and the Xbone is surprisingly silent as well. The X360 was at vacuum cleaner level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I think some games might be pushing the PS4 hardware too much . Witcher 3 framerate was pretty low at timesAnyways I shouldn't worry too much, I've had tons of xbox360/PS3 games that crashed like crazy and my consoles are still alive. I just expected things to be smoother and trouble free this generation. I'll wait at least 2 months post launch and several patches to play anything new nowNow I have a bunch of backed up PS3 titles to play...back to JRPG's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I haven't bought Witcher 3 on PS4 purely because of its performance issues and I wouldn't consider doing so either if that nonsense went unfixed indefinitely.Batman Arkham Knight shows how it's done properly, beautifully optimised for the hardware that it is.

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Apparently swapping out hardware components to try to get Arkham Knight running at anything more than a sideshow on PC makes diddly squat of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Well of course. That's a broken game any way you look at it. The PC version is inferior to the console versions, until the coders fix it.

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Bought Primal Carnage as it's on sale for less than 2 dollars, and so far I've been a Raptor, a T-Rex, and by the end I got eaten by one. All in all the best guilty pleasure I've gotten in a long time, I enjoy it so fucking much and my God I hope the feeling doesn't go away too quickly. This is a game that I should have had when I was 12, but back then the only way to play as a Raptor was in that old JP game for Sega, which is still great. And hey, for less than 2 bucks, it's damn daaamn fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Are you even sure there was a 60fps version? Because the video I watched was jerky, lowres and pretty poor quality. It was like watching a game trailer from 15 years ago.Visually it looks more pleasing than the first one, but since Dying Light came out with excellent first-person parkour running and combat, this will have to do something special to make as big an impact as ME made back in 2008.

DreamTheater 131 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I know what you're saying, I use Chrome and normally with Eurogamer I get the option to watch it embedded in 1080p60 but this was different.

I'm going for everything, every chest, side quest, every marker on the mapDoing battle with multiple ships in the middle of a storm, awesome fun as well as visually astounding.I'm not sure if I would've tried it if A. people weren't praising about it on this board and B. it wasn't free with Games with Gold formula on Xbox.So to y'all that praised it to high heaven... you are right !

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 It is a very admirable game with a fantastic world. I just didn't care too much for the campaign's missions themselves.
