Topic: PS4 Vs. Xbox One: Which One Are You Buying?

@TheWavedOne Yeah, there's only so many ways you can blow something to bits or stab a bunch of polygons before ya just take a look at yourself in the mirror and say 'what am I bloody doing with my life, this is kind of rediculous don't ya reckon'... That sums up the ownage of a MicroSony product over the years

Yo, I guess these masqueraded harlequins will learn their lesson one day after they wake-up and smell that they have just been taken for a ride on the one-way express train to poopsville... Then they will come back here and apologize to the Wavenstein and MadBloke for not accepting our words of awesome gamola insight and brutal truth towards what is whack theory within this industry dudeski's like us have helped shape over the decades

I'd personally say this is the golden age of video games but that's just me.

@WaveBoy You ever try Mark of the Ninja? It's a sidescroller stealth game. Despite being it's own unique kind of game, I found it to be among the purest stealth games I've played.
You ever try Vanquish? Imagine the most visceral third person shooter ever. Now multiply that by 10.
You ever try little game called Portal? You may have heard of it. Direct me to a game like Portal before that came out.
You ever try Mirror's Edge? Not exactly the same as all first person games, what with it being a platformer and all.
You ever try Sound Shapes? It's a game where you can make a song, and then you make a game based off of that song.

Games have innovated a lot this past generation. Be it new, simplified ways to interact with the environment (Gears of War), new ways for people to play online (Call of Duty 4), pushing the envelope for bigger worlds (Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls 4), creating better stories in genres where it traditionally wasn't a focus (Spec Ops: The Line, Bioshock 1, 2 and Infinite, The Last of Us, new ways of encouraging diverse play (Bulletstorm), better, more adaptable AI (numerous examples, but RAGE stems to mind, what with that being what it was marketed as), the creation of a wide variety of tools for player created content (LittleBigPlanet) or the increased ability to make things more realistic then ever before (car sims like Forza 3 and 4 are a good example).

It's fine to not like these innovations. It's fine to not like these genres. It's fine for your favorite games to be games of the past. But don't say that this generation didn't have innovation. Don't say that innovation can only come from different types of control input. Because when you look at game design, it's clearly there in spades.

All of that stuff is a big part of why I'm excited for the next consoles. Because it means we'll see more of the envelope being pushed in terms of game design. Heck, a quick look at something like Project Spark seems to be full of innovation.

At the end of the day you're really just hitching a ride to ↓

Pretty cool PS4 PS+ trailer.

As a somewhat strapped Gamer I might buy a Vita/PS4 as my main et up and coast on PS+ as apart of my gaming diet.

Seconded. Not so much that I hate anything non-Nintendo (though I absolutely detest Microsoft), it's more that I can't afford a whole extra console plus its library of games that I probably wouldn't enjoy anyway.

Third-ed?
I'm quite content with my Wii U. Plus, the other consoles just don't have enough of the games that I like to play.

PS4 :3

Video on the Xbox One Controller

I think Xbox One has the best standard controller. PS4 has the next best, because this all compared to the Pro controller, but I figure by the time I want touch and motion in the controller, I'll just stick with the GamePad.
The only advantage is that you can 4 PS4 controllers with the touch pad, but Nintendo kills every other aspect with the Wii remote and GamePad.

Kinect is better than PS Eye.
Move is mainly the same as the Wii remote. The Wii remote uses more free form motion control than Move, but all of the stuff will eventually have 9-axis, probably.
The GamePad can act alot more freely. You can technically do what the PS Eye and Move controller are doing in relation to each other via 9-axis/geomagnetic tracking. That means you don't need a camera, but there's other stuff ultimately going on between them all.

Plus Nintendo and Microsoft just support those other options like 95% more. Every Wii game used the Wii remote, and now Kinect will have just as much of a chance.

@WaveHeadOne To sum up the XBone controller 'designed by a FPS enthusiast for losers that play FPS 24/7'. Sounds like we know what genre will dominate on that system... Just like the generations before

Anyway, driving on now.

I can't see how pointer controls aren't the best scheme to play a FPS. I mean... you're pointing... as you'd do with a gun.

Yep, holding a gun never felt as natural as sitting at a bench strumming a QWERTY keyboard while sliding a ball over a rubber mat half immersed until something like this pops up on that gnarly small screen

I know, I played it the same way (on a 28" SDTV). Luckily, last month, I got a copy of MP Trilogy for about 40 bucks and I'm ready to get my mind blown again.

What the hell happened to this thread? Stated off with PS4 and Xbox One and now we're talking about pointer controls versus mouse and keyboard. sigh...

@Supermarioman Huh? you act surprised that a NL forum topic has changed into something entirely different... Unite team

That's the problem despite claiming to have to intenion or intrest in the Xbox One/PS4 Waveboy and Mad Aussie Bloke can't help from trolling something their not intrested in. (Like most of the internet). It would be easier to take their opinions more seriously if they just said they didn't like newer games and had reasons to back up their opinions instead of the Juvenile retorts of everything non nintendo being poop like its a truthfact.

If you read the title of this thread 'PS4 vs XBone' the whole topic started off childish to begin with... It doesn't matter what console you choose, they both have exactly the same hardware and games
