PS4 Reveal (For real this time): June 10th 6pm PST (was foruFollow

I'm signed up and it's marked on my calender

I felt like PS3 was pretty lackluster in the realm of exclusives. I don't know if PS4 will be enough to hold, even as a long time playstation fan. I found myself playing more Xbox titles, or PC (when cross-platform was available) this particular go-around.

The PS3 doesn't have much going for it with exclusives, yeah. Cross-platform titles have all been lacking, with the PS3 versions vastly inferior compared to others (Skyrim and Mass Effect 3, I'm looking at you). With the news that the PS4 was made for the developers to have an easier time with, I'm thinking it will help the cross-platform problem out a lot. The only games that I know will be PS4 exclusives such as Killzone Shadow Fall and Infamous: Second Sun don't look too interesting. The ones that will be on PS3 and PS4 have my attention. No point in buying a PS4 just for those. I can live without better graphics.

Games that are coded natively for the PS3 don't look so good on the 360 as well, such as FFXIII. It's the nature of porting to different platforms. Japanese games tend to look better on PS3 and American games are better on 360.

If the PS4 is going the way of the PC-compatible, then it's basically just becoming another XBox with a Sony-specific gaming server and Sony-specific hardware components. I don't think this is a good thing. A system like the PS3 offered a different approach to computing than your standard PC, allowing for exclusives like God of War 3 and the Uncharted series. But, by standardizing this, your gaming experience will end up essentially the same.

Sure, it's great for developers who can mindlessly make the same game for the three "different" platforms with ease now that the competition is all on the same page. And consumers won't have anxiety that their port of their favorite game is going to suck.

But in a world of "Call of Duty 32: Not This **** Again," and "Final Fantasy XLIX: We Swear It's The Final One" /knowinglook I think the industry is in danger of slipping into more-of-the-same even faster than it was before if you can't even get some variety in your choice of platform.

Here is a very in-depth article behind the architecture of the PS4.

TLDR; it's going to be much easier to develop on (and optimize) than the PS3 was. I have great hopes for the PS4.

Since it's a Facebook page I don't think the RSVP means ****.

Here's a 2012 chart: http://banglagamer.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21425&d=1333876105

that chart is pretty off. Alot of the games taht says no Pc ports have PC ports (DMC, Tony hawk HD, MGS: Rising is supposedly on the way, Silent hIll collection while not a re-release have you PLAYED the Silent hill games on PC, They both were way ahead of their time graphics wise and look good to this day I have all 3 on disk Silent Hill 2 (has the bonus stuff) Silent Hill 3, Silent Hill 4: The room (it was still an awesome port, terrible game though) I swear transformers fall of Cybertron is coming to pc? And SF vs Tekken too IIRC)

Seriously, that chart is terrible.



And from the looks of it, Killzone is a good GoW substitue.

Speaking of GoW, God of War was straight up amazing....

Only XBox exclusive I care about is Forza, but boy do I care greatly for it...

The only 360 exclusive I care about is Halo, but that also happens to be the only 360 exclusive I can even think of. Whenever I hear a game is 360 exclusive, I just start ignoring it. No reason to get myself wanting something I can't run, and I DON'T need another console. My PC handles 99% of my gaming needs right now, anyway.
