Still downloading I can't wait! (So the cyal8ternubs may have been premature lol)

On another note, oh my goodness

Praise teh lawd

Also forgot to mention it here I managed to scope up a Playstation Now Beta invite from the E3 app and I have to say I am enjoying the service alot. My connection for the PS4 is wireless and the streaming is amazing. No lag, or connection problems at all. I couldn't tell that I was playing a streamed game or a game on disc or my system. I was kinds skeptical of the service but now after playing it for a good portion of the day it all depends on what they will charge for the games that will make me use this service when it goes live.

Sony have released some data about the PS4 sales, some of which is pretty interesting. 31% of PS4 owners had a 360 or Wii, but not a PS3. Okay, that's not surprising. A lot of 360 owners are naturally going to migrate to PS4 this gen. The strange bit is that 17% of PS4 owners didn't own a PS3, Wii OR a 360. That's about 1.5 million PS4 owners that didn't buy a console in the last gen at all. What's going on there? That seems like a ridiculously high number to be buying a brand new console.

The Uncharted 4 trailer has been confirmed to be all in-engine too. Pretty impressive if they can get something that look good in the first couple of years, with an engine that has to be mostly built on top of the PS3 stuff. Can't wait to see what we'll be playing in 3 or 4 years!

What if I liked every other game that From Software made except Demons/Dark Souls?

Honestly, as far as Retail games I can't get on the PS3 go, the only "system seller" coming to the so far is Final Fantasy XV, at least in my eyes. Though Second Son is close, which I still think will be a best inFamous game by a long shot (which isn't hard, I didn't think too highly of the first two). And I'm not gonna lie, if it weren't for that game, I was intending to skip the PS4 entirely. I know the games that interest me this gen would be few and far between, in part because of my increasingly limited tastes, as well as just how gaming is going.

That said, Sony still has all the best indie games, so even if I didn't have anything but the PS4, I wouldn't be sorry if I got it.

Still not getting one until FF15 comes out, though.

Probably getting a ps4 Friday. Since I like killzone: mercenary, I should like shadowfall right?(looking for recommendation.)

I'm a big Killzone fan, I preferred Mercenary, Shadow Fall isn't a bad game by any stretch and if you liked Mercenary I'd still recommend it as both have the 'one man army' thing going (kind of disappointing because Killzone 1-3 actually made you feel like you were in an epic battle and fighting along comrades was fun). There's other games I'd recommend first though. What kind of games do you like? What other systems do you own? What's the main reason behind getting a PS4? I can give you a list of games you might like if I know the answer to some of those. Killzone is an FPS, if you like FPS with an old school flavor, Wolfenstein: The New Order is great and definitely recommended over Killzone.

I second Wolfenstein over Killzone, unless multiplayer is your primary focus. But even then I'd go with BF4 over Killzone.

Be warned but I hear the multiplayer community has fallen off for Shadowfall. The upcoming co-op mode might bring guys back.

Even if people were brought back in I still can't fully recommend Killzone. It's not bad but there are others that are just better. And if singleplayer is important to you Webhead, it's no contest, Wolfenstein.

Well I'm mainly buying it for Sony exclusives and the fact that its going to have the best multiplats of the 3 consoles this gen. And I've sort of been itching for more multiplayer as well as a good fps game.

I'd say CoD or BF 4 then. Killzone's mutliplayer is good but the other two have more active communities. If you really liked Mercenary though, Shadow Fall is not a bad option and it does have a pretty good single player campaign. Wolfenstein is still my first recommendation for FPS even if it is a singleplayer game. Others to consider.. inFamous: Second Son is a great game and easily the best game released by Sony for the system so far. And Watch Dogs might be my favorite game on either of the new consoles to this point. It's not perfect but it is a great open world romp with a good story and tons of content.

Eh, I hear BF4 is kinda glitchy even after the patches.(last I heard.) And man I haven't played cod since black ops.

Honestly, with that new mode coming, now might be the best time to jump on Killzone.

I also plan on getting Strider HD, Destiny, Infamous, TLOU Remastered, and LBP3.

I have too much self-respect to support Battlefield 4 personally.

@Webhead - out of curiousity, do you have a PS3?

Well I have access to one but I don't actually own it. Its my brothers.

All those games except inFamous: Second Son are available on PS3. I'd still say PS4 is the way to go at this point because there are going to be some great games next year that won't be cross-gen, but CanisWolfred's point is a fair one.
