Dang, I really really wish GTA 5 was coming to PS4. They could have did alot more for GTA 5 if it was on the new gens, prob more people could play multiplayer if so. Games im looking for this Gen are: Battlefield 4, The Crew, The Division, COD Ghost, Elder Scrolls Online And Destiny. F2P games would be DCUO (again) and Planet Side 2 and prob more but cant think of none right off the head. #PS4

@gamer6130 @ImaDaddy2013 will Destiny be out for current gen consoles?? & the only reason ill get BF4 for next gen is because you cant run 64 players and ps3 will only hold like 34ish I think. havent played bf3 in over a year seems like.

@ImaDaddy2013 @gamer6130 Yes, Destiny will be out for current-gen consoles (minus the Wii/Wii U, of course). They're also toying around with the idea of a PC launch, although that platform has not been confirmed and may not happen.

@ImaDaddy2013 I'd rather they make the best game they can possibly make on a console they know well rather than porting to new hardware and working with an under utilized dev kit.

@bigcrusha @ImaDaddy2013 thats a good point, as I said they got caught at a bad time, developed during current gen, released on current gen while transitioning to next gen, but i am sure it will sell extremely well to those who do not want to transition just yet to next gen.

@ImaDaddy2013 @frostbite2user @bigcrusha Then there's those of us (not me) that HAVE the money, but will still wait until the first price drop or, at the very least, wait for any engineering deficiencies to be addressed. I'm looking at YOU RROD and YLOD!!!

@frostbite2user I know what you mean, my gaming pc cost 2,000 when i first gotten it. I mean i used Gamestop to pre-order my ps4 and it was the bundle PS4,BF4. ps+ isn't going to be so bad its under $5 a month unless you want to go ahead and buy the full year for prob $60, and TBH i dont have the money like that cause my baby girl will be here in OCT. That why pre-order is good for me.

@ImaDaddy2013 @frostbite2user @bigcrusha I just dont want the issues of a first run console, they usually have overheating problems, software bugs, and malfunctions that get them sent back to the factory, I was thinking about a gaming rig but consoles last so much longer, and don't require upgrades plus I dont have that kind of money cost of ps4, 1 game and Ps+ 500$ gaming rig 700-2000$

@ImaDaddy2013 @frostbite2user @bigcrusha The series has always done extremely well, so I am sure they will continue the pattern, I am personally going to wait for the crash test dummies to test the ps4 before I buy it, but if it is all good I will be picking one up, the xb1 is definitely not for me

@frostbite2user @bigcrusha @ImaDaddy2013 Yeah your right, Cause everyone with a ps3 or xbox 360 isn't just going to go out and buy the new gen, maybe some don't have the money right now and some are kids that can't afford it until there mom or dad gets it for them. So im pretty sure that GTA 5 will still do well.

@clsid @frostbite2user @ImaDaddy2013 @bigcrusha Nearly everything you said USED to be true. First, their hardware has never been great. They have used middle-of-the-road hardware at least since Jobs came back to the company. What people enjoyed about them was their software interfaces (UIs and OSX/iOS). However, they have been lagging in this department and have allowed Android to catch up to them in this regard. Even the new Blackberry OS (doomed as it may be) is comparable in quality to iOS.


These days, about the only benefit you get from paying 2x what the hardware is actually worth is a more strictly curated app store. They don't even have the common decency to give you the whole apple with your purchase (that part was a joke).


Also, their business model is starting to suck as well. The growth that made them "the most profitable company on Earth" has nearly stalled, with Samsung and other competitors quickly closing in on both Apple's profit levels and beginning to exceed Apple in market share.


Apple's in a pretty bad decline right now. If they want people to keep shelling out for Apple's premium prices, Apple needs to rethink the amount of value they will need to offer for those prices.


I hope they manage to pull it off, if only due to the fact that the competition between iOS and Android has been extremely beneficial to consumers in terms of new features, USEFUL vendor software, and technology.

@frostbite2user @ImaDaddy2013 @bigcrusha Apple hardware prices sucks, and the vendor lock-in they try to impose every step of the way. But having said that, their hardware is actually great, they truly offer the most polished computing experience (maybe iOS is a bit stale now, but I'm think AppleTV, OSX). And regarding the business model, well it actually works great for them. Becoming the most profitable company on Earth is a hell of a business model methinks.

@frostbite2user @ImaDaddy2013 @bigcrusha I have to agree with the Ubisoft part. They are becoming everything EA should be. They even backed down from the Anno 2070 DRM disaster and apologized.

@ImaDaddy2013 @frostbite2user @bigcrusha looks like you can call in people from, tablets and other sessions to help you out, but next gen is a little confusing when it comes to multiplayer, clouds, tablets, weird stuff we have not been exposed too, the new E3 gameplay had a person on a tablet help out by EMPing a helicopter on a story mission and bf4 commander mode will be on tablet as well. so we shall see...

@frostbite2user @ImaDaddy2013 @bigcrusha oh i forgot to add that game in my comment lol, stupid me. I've been looking at Watch Dogs since they announced it long time ago. Thats going to be a must have game as well, love how everything looks and play out but the big ? is, how would multiplayer play out, still a little confused off of that.

@ImaDaddy2013 @bigcrusha I would highly recommend looking at Watch Dogs, Like a GTA, but you are a criminal of the future, a hacker, but you still get your hands dirty in car chases and fights plus it is made by ubisoft and you cannot usually go wrong with ubisoft, its worth taking a look at, its my 2nd place title for purchase on ps4...

@ImaDaddy2013 Bad timing, not a personal fan but I respect the franchise, If they still have the amazon BF4, PS4 and PS+ post release I will be picking it up.edit. by bad timing I meant GTA 5.

@whatshannenin Try changing IP address by updating your LAN or NIC by downloading updated Internet connections network depending on company yu have on your computer for example Intel go to Intel website this or It's definately a computer virus on your computer scan for viruses.

I don't know but I've been experiencing some weird things tonight on here, and I'm still experiencing some anomaly's here and there. I ended up clearing my browsing history and all my cookies and refreshed the page and that seemed to fix most of it, but I still cannot load anymore comments at the bottom of the page. And another thing that was weird was when I signed back in I put my email in wrong but is signed me in anyways then redirected me to another page. I wish I knew what was causing this?

If only video game machines went back to only playing video games no movie DVD's or music only video game discs maybe In future along with video game download type service [For people lazy to swap video game DVD's] I admit It's a hassle to swap video game discs to another video game downloads is clever.

@WomanandMan2002 Actually I like the concept of digital downloads. Gone will be the days when your discs are scratched an unplayable, disc swapping as you said, and no more the stores around here don't have the game I want. Plus no more lines to buy stuff, etc, etc.

Being able to just take your console with you and have all the data is pretty good too, so I totally embrace this change as I have done with Steam. The draconian rules Microsoft is trying to impose with the XBox One are a totally different animal however, especially by charging a 100$ for a device I don't want or need.

It seems people will get confused with Xbox one from before Xbox 360 with Xbox one after Xbox 360 known as 2nd generation Xbox One to help people not get confused with 2 Xbox ones.

@gamer6130 it's funny how i'm really looking forward to not buying the xbone and, instead, seriously stocking up on all the great 360 games me and my family missed.

and, btw, the 360's kinect has some fantastic functions for both me (skyrim) and the family.

@udubdawgz @gamer6130 Hell I'm doing the exact same thing with the Wii. I owned an XBox360 and I now have a PS3. I played stuff like Journey which is truly great, but now I feel that the Wii offers me more experiences like Journey so I'm going to try some more stuff there. Especially since I have found a way to make Wii games look great in HD by using Homebrew/Dolphin.
