They need it. They literally have nothing revealed in the second half of next year to my knowledge, and their exclusives on PS4 are lacking. The only ones confirmed for next year are Second Son and The Order, which I'm pretty sure are both confirmed for the first half of the year. Maybe Uncharted 4 is their big fall 2014 game. I don't know, but with two enormous exclusives in the other camp releasing next year, I hope they have something other than Uncharted planned for next year.Quote:

Naughty Dog hinted several things coming at the beginning of 2014 to celebrate their 15th anniversary and with the Crash Bandicoot site going down and reportedly being bought back by Sony, it kind of seems like they're doing another Crash game. I'm personally lukewarm on the thought of that.

All the other ones were released in October/November, so I'm guessing they'll stick to tradition. I don't know how far along it is, but I'm guessing since they have 2 development teams that by the time November rolls around, it'll be at least 2 years into development, so it's possible.
The Order is targeting fall, but who knows if that gets released on time. It's a studio developing a major console for the first time and it looks pretty ambitious to me. It's one of my more anticipated games so the sooner it comes out the better.
I'm mostly interested in what Santa Monica is up to. They're a 2 or 3 game studio and it's the worst kept secret that they're working on a new IP. I'm sure they've got God of War brewing within in some capacity, too.
That's really good considering that Amazon is selling AC4 new for $49.Quote:

Good solid game. Played through once. Going to probably go for the :plat: too at some point but right now I'm addicted to 2K14. I also need to get into AC IV. LOL so..... many good games on PS4Quote:

Messed around this weekend with Resogun and figured a few things out. Got a new all-time high for me and 1,500 something in the world. Game is just addictive I'll probably be playing that game until PS5 comes out. :nod:
I need to play that some more. I love it. It's like Super Stardust and Defender combined.Quote:

Its simply a supply side problem right now for both consoles as I'm sure both Sony and MS are cranking them out as fast as they can b/c this is the peak consumer spending season.

Sounds like something you would accuse Microsoft of doing. :D
I've tried really hard to get into Resogun, but I can't. I don't hate it, I just find it boring. I never liked Super Stardust, either, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised it isn't my thing. I wish they would do a Dead Nation 2, though. It amazes me that it hasn't been done yet.
MS be dumb (see rollout/DRM) but they ain't stupid.Quote:

That's just silly.
I've heard the PS4 blu-ray capabilties weren't that great and that seems correct. Trying to watch a BR tonight, it wouldn't load the actual movie on PS4 - one time the screen even went into a shade of pink - but it worked perfectly on the PS3.
What kind of movie was it?Quote:

Not unless you root it. Amazon tablets use their own stores and do not have nearly the amount of apps available on Android/iOS tablets. If you root it, then I'm sure you could get it on there somehow.
LOL ok how easy would it be to "root it"Quote:

yuck. any idea when/if a playstation app might be added to it? everything i've read about the tablet is nice and basically the only problem is this stupid app issue for ONE app.Quote:

I will say this - there are a metric TON of apps that are available on Android and never make it to Kindle, so the potential for it never coming to Kindle is definitely there.Quote:

Anyone having issues with the PSN network? I keep getting error messages when I try to check friends, etc.... tried hopping on madden to play some MUT and got some weird error message as well.
Yes. Down for me on PS4 but not PS3.
Well at least it isn't just me.Quote:

yeah from what i gather it is sever overload issues. however, reading the comments on the official PS forums and/or twitter just re-confirms the fact that the U.S. is soon doomed to be nothing more than a 3rd world country. :nod:Quote:

Scary moment last night. The wife and I were watching Netflix on PS4 and all of a sudden the screen went black and the system shut down completely. I tried to reboot from the controller and all my controller would do is flash light blue. Finally on the third attempt from pushing start on the console, it booted up again. I may have lost a few years off my life...???...
I'm still playing DVDs or streaming on PS3 or 360. Those hours add up.
Yeah I'm not running apps at all on PS4.Quote:

Trying to find a second PS4 and I have a decent amount of credit at Best Buy, so I call there to check on stock at my local store. "Sorry, we don't give out stock info over the phone on the PS4, you have to come in the store."
Uh...why? :D
I despise Best Buy but my local one says they are sold out FYI but they do have "many" XB1's.Quote:

I signed on last night just to watch a Blu-ray, but went back to PS3 when there was an issue (BR related) with it hanging up upon connecting online.
After shutting down the console and going to the PS3, I noticed a flashing white light on the Ps4 console. I assumed I had left it on standby or some other user miscue and it was indicating a message or something.
Following the movie, I tried to start the PS4 with no luck. Finally, holding the power for 7-10 seconds shut it off. On restart, I got a message that I should not unplug the power when in standby :fp: and it did some sort of storage check. The system then started up correctly. I may have been imagining things, but it seemed like that shutdown (while working properly) took longer than usual -- though that may have been just in my mind (paranoia).
In a very quick online search, this issue (flashing white light) seems related to issues with a swapped HD, but I am still with original HD and have not changed it or anything. I'm beginning to fear something is going on with my console. :fdown:
I wouldn't worry. I've had the same thing happen 1 or 2 times and mine's still working fine. I'm hoping future firmware updates make it a lot more stable. My eject button also doesn't want to work sometimes.
I hope you're right. The system worked fine Saturday night, so I probably shouldn't be too worried. However, there were enough issues at launch to make me paranoid when odd things happen.Quote:

Are there any reliable statistics out there about the failure rates of the new consoles (Sony and MS)?
It seems to me that the PS4 is failing more than the XB1 but that may be because I pay more attention to the PS4.
