The Official PS4 Thread - Part 9

bloodborne, the order 1886, street fighter 5, no man's sky (which is also timed), persona 5. and then there's games we know very little about such as everybody's gone to the rapture, abzu, until dawn

Wow, thanks. I didn't realize exclusives were so common. The only ones I knew about were Halo and RotTR for Xbox and Uncharted for PS4.

in other news, sony's released their Q3 fiscal results of last year, and while they're bleeding money in a lot of places in particular their mobile department, the Ps4 is doing amazing. 6.4 million Ps4s were shipped in Q3 and combined with Ps3, 7.5 million.

it's all good. Halo's always been Xbox's biggest franchise and nowadays that's also what uncharted is for playstation. 70% of the market is made up of multiplatform games though, but 2015 is a great time to have a Ps4, with those exclusives expected to be released all throughout this year.

The PS4 is also probably going to get more PS3 ports, like Final Fantasy X HD, Kingdom Hearts 1.5, Tales of Zestiria, etc.

Though the Xbox One could get some. I'm surprised Final Fantasy Type-0 is coming to it, really.

Type-0 was actually a PSP title originally. Part of its selling point is a demo of FFXV, which is coming to the Xbone.

good numbers from Sony

when they say "shipped" does that mean sold to customers?

at least they break down the PS4 and PS3 numbers, unlike MS..........

and those games are why I'm willing to stick with the PS4 for the time being.

the X1 is just not in the right spot for me to justify getting it again right now.

but that could change depending on what MS does throughout the year.

if the X1 continues to improve and continues to offer more and more exclusives that I'm interested in, while Sony continues to "stagnate" in adding features to the PS4, my loyalties could shift towards the X1 down the road.

I mean............we should be able to get custom backgrounds and video file playback at some point this year, right?? right??

I'm starting to think we won't get custom backgrounds at all.

Once my tax returns come back, I'm getting a PS4. What's the best bundle pack?

 

[Havok83]

Once my tax returns come back, I'm getting a PS4. What's the best bundle pack?

you just missed them unfortunately. GTA V and TLoUR for $399 MSRP. Your best bet now is Amazon bc I read they are currently giving a year of Plus with a purchase. All new systems come with a voucher code for TLoUR

oh shoot ill try thanks.. ohh well i meant you cant stream "yet"? i know i can have my pc see my ps3 and could stream music and video they dont have that available i read

No and its asinine that the system cant do this yet. Theres a Plex app you can subscribe to, in order to get that functionality for a fee but there is no native support from Sony on the PS4
