Re: Sony Officially Reveals the PlayStation 4, Launching Holiday 2013

There's nothing to be hyped for right now. inFAMOUS and Watch Dogs looked cool, but that was about it. Ill definitely get one, but not at launch.

I don't understand what the Killzone hype is about. Doesn't look like anything the PS3 can't handle. Beneath the pretty visuals and all the explosions, it'll probably be just another FPS game with nothing to set it apart from the other titles in the genre.

And where were the Vita games? Do they even care about that thing?

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that the lineup is nothing special and it is too soon for the average person to run out and get one yet.

Basically, I think that there isn't enough original games. Sure Persona 4, Ninja Gaiden, and DOA are all good looking titles, but they were released quite awhile ago on other platforms. Most people who wanted those games already have them. I look at the Wikipedia Vita list and most of what I see are ports, remakes, and multi-platform games, which will not keep a system alive.

The system needs it's own games to take full advantage of it's capabilities and features. At this point it just looks like the PS3's little brother.

I mean if you are going to say the d pad was useless, then you have to complain about every d pad/analog stick that has ever gone in a similar spot. And I have never in my experience had to push the triggers all the way down just to make sure they worked unless I had a faulty controller or something. I know in a game like Super Mario Sunshine, I could hold down R a little bit to spray water and walk around, or push it all the way down to stop and aim. The z button wasn't an issue either, because what I did in the game told me if it worked or not. How is that even an issue?

Also, now that I think about it, I think it is time to retire the DualShock. The PlayStation brand has been on the same controller for almost 20 years. Lets get something new.

Although the the return of the DualShock wouldn't prevent me from picking up the eventual PS4, I would be a bit disappointed.

-The d pad has been useless on every controller since the 3D revolution.
-I don't understand how the octagon could possibly affect gameplay, but ok.
-The abxy layout was different, but the focus on the A button made a lot of games easier to play. Of course everyone has their preferences, but I don't see how this is a gripe.
-Your index fingers sinked right into the triggers and these buttons are large. Much better than the crappy DS3 triggers or the skinny 360 ones.
-The z button is on the same spot where other shoulder buttons are. You must have a problem with all the other modern pads if the GC one bugs you.

The c stick does suck, I'll give you that. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I don't see how your flaws affected the most important thing, which is gameplay.

Those analog sticks still feels a little off to me, even after all this time playing with it. The DS3 also feels really cheap and light. And it isn't necessarily great for people with big hands. But I would say its still good controller, and I wouldn't complain if they just kept it the way it is.

But the DualShock will never touch the awesomeness that is the GameCube controller!
