Title: PS4 is official, coming late this year... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on February 21, 2013, 09:11:14 EST Not backwards compatible with PS3, but no DRM either- meaning that the used games market will survive one more generation. Microsoft is now on the clock...

Title: Re: PS4 is official, coming late this year... Post by: VOLveeta on February 22, 2013, 01:03:51 EST Meh for me too. My PS3 was a constant problem, repaired umpteen times till I gave up. Xbox 360 was slightly better, on my second one now and I don't plan to upgrade... at all, frankly. The failure to be backward compatible seems like a HUGE mistake. Seems pretty arrogant.

Last month my 1st gen PS3 bit the dust and I love my new super slim model. I use it a lot for blu rays so getting a new one was a no brainer. Even if I do eventually get a PS4, no way I buy one when they first come out. I don't know all the reasons of eliminating backward compatibility, but it seems to me they're limiting potential sales by limiting the console. There are a lot of people that will say "nah, I'll pass". Especially if Microsoft comes out and says "backward compatibility, no problem". Title: Re: PS4 is official, coming late this year...

No release date, no pricing, not even a pic of the console itself. Maybe we'll get more details at E3? Title: Re: PS4 is official, coming late this year...

When the PS3 drops to 100 bucks or so, I'm going to get one just for that and Uncharted. Title: Re: PS4 is official, coming late this year...

Uncharted is bad ass. I need to replay, but where's the time? Title: Re: PS4 is official, coming late this year... Post by: VinnieVOL on February 22, 2013, 04:02:55 EST Uncharted is bad ass. I need to replay, but where's the time? I've never played the first Uncharted. I came onboard for #2. I wonder if I would enjoy it or if the gameplay and mechanics are too primitive relative to the other two. Title: Re: PS4 is official, coming late this year...
