What are your next gen plans?

[QUOTE=Maniak]i dont think rockstar would do that seeing as it would piss off a bunch of their fanbase[/QUOTE]


Rockstar already did it. Gay Tony and The Lost and The Damned weren't exclusives, but they were time released exclusives to the XBox. It took like a full year to get to PS. For the right money they would do it again I'm sure. I'm just curious how they'd handle the content, because you couldn't play GT or TLATD without having GTA already, so if I play those on PS3, then move on to the PS4, will I be able to play the additional content on there?

[QUOTE=LJJ]No I mean I could see Microsoft acquire exlusive rights to a GTA DLC pack (or packs). They have a lot of money to throw around for these deals, while Sony can't offer a dime.

And that Rockstar is the only company with worthwhile DLC. I realize almost every developer releases DLC of some form these days, but by and large it's overpriced garbage. Rockstar is the only developer offering high quality DLC.[/QUOTE]


Oops got you. :cheers:

Thorpesaurous can you give me your age in a bracket so I don't feel so bad about playing games still?

[QUOTE=niko]It's not a tough call, just wait, play all the games and get PS4 next year when it's getting all the games made specifically for it. I doubt the PS4 versions will be much better, do you think companies will spend a lot of resources on a system almost no one has?[/QUOTE]
Actually, you're wrong.

AC4 on the ps4 and xbone will have better graphics, along with better wind and water simulation. Which is going to be pretty important since...you're a pirate.

Watch Dogs is also going to look prettier on the next gen as well along with better simulation even though that's not going to be as important as it will with AC 4. [URL="http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/watch_dogs/news/ps4_and_xbox_one_offers_the_real_hd_experience_for_watch_dogs.html"]link[/URL]

Battlefield 4 is going to only be able to do second screen stuff on next gen.

I'd assume several other games are going to be the same way, not just Ubisoft and EA.

they will look better but they will all play exactly the same. it's basically the same as how games made in the past 2-3 years are on pc versus 360/ps3.

I'm 36.

I basically treat games like books. I can get out 4-6, maybe 8 a year. But I don't have time to screw around with them, so I play essentially only AAA titles. I pre-order the games I want. I get them opening day. If I like it I'll play it compulsively for a few weeks or month, depending on the size. I almost never leave anything unbeaten, unless I just really don't like it. I track down as many extras and hidden shit as I can without getting nuts about it. But I don't play online or anything. I'm mostly looking for a good story to unfold in front in of me, like a book, or a good movie.

So that sort of brings me back to why pre-ordering is a tough call for me. I'm not the kind of guy who wants to play a game that's 3 months old. I don't usually buy things on a whim. So I sort of want to have the Watch Dogs experience, which I was led to believe won't be available on PS3, which means I kinda have to buy the PS4 on release. Or I may be able to tide myself over a few months with GTA and get PS3 versions of AC and Batman, but if I wait too long something else will come along and I won't play Watchdogs.

It's a different problem because at my age I don't have the time to play as much as I'd like, but money isn't really a problem in buying the stuff I'd want, if I just had the time to play them.

I'm getting the PS4 as soon as it comes out

I'll get the Xbox One sometime down the road

I'm in the same situation when it comes to video games.... I'm really only on my second story-related video game for this year (Tomb Raider and GTA-V) with a little NBA mixed in here and there.

I've already "missed out" on Last of Us and will probably do the same with Arkham Origins, Assasins Creed IV, and Watchdogs, simply because I don't want to buy the games and not fully play them.

Its not necessarily a bad thing that I play way less video games, but its too kinda too bad because they're only getting better and better and those of us that have seen the evolution of gaming throughout the year can really appreciate the change that has happened.

Wait a minute. Watch Dogs won't be for PS3? :wtf: I put $15 down for a pre-order at GameStop. If it won't be for PS3, why did GameStop accept my deposit? The cashier reassured me it'll be for current and next gen systems.

It should be. I think you're ok.
