We aren't questioning your shopping habits. We're angered by Gamestop's branding on the game case.

I didnt even know there was a "Gamestop Edition"

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I'm questing his shopping habbits.

Post-launch PS4 update to add MP3, DLNA support, confirms Yoshida

"Like we've been saying, the focus has been always on the game features, and some of the features we wanted but we could get in on day one - game features - we were very disappointed," he said.

"We didn't really think about MP3 or DLNA. We always thought that we're going to do that eventually - we've been doing it with all the [PlayStation] products. So it caught us off guard. People don't really talk about these features but when we say we don't have it some people get really mad and [say], 'I cancelled the pre-order'."

Yoshida went on to confirm, "So as we speak, the teams in Japan and US - the systems guys - are discussing how and when we can put these features on PS4."

I'm questioning both!

anyone going to pick up Injustice for PS4?

Almost did, but decided to wait for price drop.

Good ol Sony! It seems he was surprised it was a lacked feature?

Does DNLA refer to the ability to put your own media on through USB? And the ability to play MP4 files?

It's the ability to use the PS3 as a media server.

 

[JaD]

I guess that's the same thing for the most part, interesting.

Well, everyone did complain about the lack of focus on games from Microsoft. I remember the argument always being, "I only want it for games". So, when I heard about these non-game related features not being in...the "we just want it for games" thing just kept ringing in my ears.

Not really. We still have no confirmation on if they will allow USB for media storage.

Many people didn't care for all the new media stuff MS was doing with the TV and forced Kinect to implement said features, but there is basic functionality that one comes to expect. Like playing a CD seems like such a non issue as its been a standard feature in every Sony home console since the PS1. For the PS4 to have less functionality than the PS3 is puzzling. Like does having CD, MP3 and media server support costs a whole lot in time and money to implement? That's all carryover from last gen, not new tech. I don't see how having that stuff in the system would take away from them focusing on games bc that stuff isn't resource intensive to develop

 

[Balthus Dire]

I think I've used my xbox for streaming, like, a dozen times in 6 years. In this day and age almost every device can stream and access internet/media or stream said media to the TV, so all of those next gen features don't interest me thus far.

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, I do dislike the branding on the case... However, I think Target did it too. This is my buddies haul from today..

Spoiler

 

[Benstamania]

pretty good Interview with Shu.

 

[Doc Ock]

pretty good Interview with Shu.

Is it odd I feel like clapping my hands at how great this guy is?

 

[TX85]

Shu and people at Sony deserve a face palm for not thinking clearly about all features..But now also deserve a standing ovation for acting fast

 

[Soapy]

Giant Bomb has an interview with him as well.

 

[Havok83]

Shuhei is like a real life Kevin Butler for Sony

Just found out my ps4 won't be ready til the end of December

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

The new PlayStation app is out. On iOS and Android.

 

[Havok83]

Embargo's been lifted and reviews are out!

Ouch on Knack getting a 5.9 from IGN: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/13/knack-review

Killzone gets an 8.0: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/13/killzone-shadow-fall-review

 

[Solidus]

Ya Killzone has been getting lots of 7 or 8's out of 10. But Knack has been getting pretty low....so I may not grab that.

I'm thinking now I'll get

Battlefield
Killzone
And either Assassins Creed or Call of Duty Ghosts.

 

[Solidus]

But also there is a part of me that wonders if I should just save the money...and just get Battlefield 4 for now.

 

[Benstamania]

People talking on the internet about not getting a PS4 because Killzone is "only scoring an 8."

Adam Sessler was right when he said gamers are the worst fanbase.. Ever.

Killzone could have scored a 6 and I would have grabbed it for the graphics showcase alone, lol. I'm getting both BF and Killzone (as well as AC4) because I feel both will be different enough from each other.
