PS4 Launch Hype Reel

Recommended Posts

Here is your sizzle reel from Sony a few weeks before launch. I think its interesting that PS4's exclusive content is actually timed exclusive for 6 months on blockbuster titles. I wonder if it will be released on X1 for free via patch, or will it be some $3 DLC.

SSD is a huge difference. Eppy has one in his laptop.. He impressed the hell out of me with that. There is basically no loading time because there is no internal disk spinning around collecting information.. He hit the power button and within seconds the entire operating system and applications were all loaded and ready.

Installing and loading games on an SSD would be much faster. But the cost for size is still way too high. I'm surprised the PS4 doesn't come with a 1TB drive considering how big some games will get. We'll be lucky to have 10 games installed at a time. SSD of the same size would probably work good for downloading and playing on the fly though. I'm wondering if a SSD would give someone an advantage on a host based game like COD. If their computer was host and it would literally load everything faster than the other systems could, that brief second could attribute to a lot of potential lag kills. I don't know if that would be the case or not, but its got me thinking.

 

I'm glad multiplayer games will all be server based so people shouldn't be able to get an advantage like that.

I'm thinking 12-14 games. Its basically the same as Xbox 360's launch 20 gig HD. You might get 3-5 super popular games with its seasons pass DLC. However there are also rumors that these 40+ gig installs are only temporary cache, which is why PS4 allows playing before a complete install. This would make sense storage wise.. but having to wait 3-5 minutes to start up a game would be pretty annoying. I'm guessing its optional to install or temp cache it.

      PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now are merging into the new PlayStation Plus and the membership will now become a tiered system:
       
      I'll be sticking with PlayStation Plus Essential assuming I can still buy yearly memberships on sale for around $30-$40 like I've been doing since before the PS4 launched. I'm barely getting any use out of PS+ as it is with the games they've been offering for the last year so if I have to start paying a monthly fee I'll just cancel it instead.
      In comparison to the PS+ Extra, I've recently used Xbox PC game pass which I got a 3 month trial for $1 on black friday weekend last year. I don't have an Xbox so I was only using the lowest tier of the PC version which I suppose is the Microsoft Xbox PC version of PlayStation Plus Extra. It is an ok service but with the amount of time I have to dedicate to gaming I was only able to play and beat 2 games in those 3 months. I'm glad the xbox pc game pass came with EA Access since I was able to play and beat Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. EA Access itself didn't appeal to me because on the PC game pass its basically 70% sports titles. I was also able to play and beat Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and that game wasn't nearly as good as the first. Both games retail for around $14 and $7 when on sale so I saved roughly $20 with my $1 free trial. But if it was to pay $10 a month for the service I would have been in the hole $9 compared to if I bought those 2 games instead. For me and my available time to play games a subscription service is not a savings to me. Theres alot of people that could benefit from a game subscription service and I'm glad its an option for them.
      I will say tho, for people that have an Xbox console and a game subscription service is beneficial to them, the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has console and pc game pass combined along with xbox games with gold free monthly games, and that is a far better deal that PlayStation Plus Deluxe for the same price of $14.99 a month. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also includes console and pc games that can be played from the cloud too kind of like Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming.

      Uncharted 4 is $20. I just bought it. I might have to put Mass Effect on the back burner.

      The new PlayStation 4 firmware update will include external HHD support for game installation. Finally. I honestly didn't realize the original PS4s even had USB 3. They are also finally adding custom wallpapers via screenshots. About damn time. The wallpapers in the online store are complete garbage. I'd still prefer to use my own .jpg files like on the PS3, but modders used that feature as a way to hack the system which is why we never got the functionality in PS4. Using a screenshot is completely fine with me.
