AVFCDAN Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Im not totally clued up on what Microsoft's pre-release plans were but couldn't you consider that everything deemed "anti-consumer" was just them trying to create a "steam" model. Anyway that's all I will say on the matter as this is off-topic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway that's all I will say on the matter as this is off-topic now. Mostly; the console had to be connected to the internet to play the games (to register their licenses every time you played (less haxors then)). Problem was not everyone has stellar internet. it had to come with a camera, and that camera was always recording (or on). It was way more expensive as a result, despite the fact it was less powerful (even by a small margin, it was worse in every tangible way and more expensive). The console itself is huge. It was loud (I don't know this personally) And then they changed all of that because Sony said "We've got a decent machine, for £300. Online has been improved immeasurably, the only thing is you have to pay for that service now, whereas we gave you it for free since 2002 on PS2." They were honest and clear, Xbox shafted their fan base - so the fan base **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2016 Also, paying to play online with PS4 isn't nearly as bad when you get so much free shit with it. #RocketLeague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The key word being shit, mind you, I think Rocket League is the only PSPlus freebie I've played for more than half an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Too many indie side scrollers and twin stick shooters for my taste. In fairness, there are a bunch that are great, but that I'd already bought on PC years ago. Hopefully in the next year or two some of the triple A titles might be old enough that they'll be included occasionlly, there have been quite a few for PS3 pop up on Psplus that I'd want to play if I had one.

The graph was showing PS4/Xbox One sales compared to PS3 and Xbox 360 two years in and my questioning was that they credited the Xbox 360 sales far lower than they actually were two years in.

mightysasquatch Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've had a Xbox one since release day & I picked up a ps4 the weekend. The dash/home screen on the ps4, for me is not a patch on Xbox ones...& the controller makes me want to hurt myself. But I guess it comes down to getting use to it.

The PS4 controller actually made my hands hurt after a couple of hours of playing which made me sell the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 16, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2016 I can understand the controller concerns (although I have no problem with the PS4 controller) But I've never really understood those that place a lot of importance on the homescreen/dashboard for each console. I honestly couldn't care less 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the home screen/dash I don't place a huge importance on it but I do place an importance on how intuitive it is. Ease of use, finding what I want ect....I still maintain that both next generation consoles have lesser designs that those before them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Anyone who finds a PS4 controller awkward or painful, is surely just too used to a different controller (ie: an Xbox one), that they're holding it how they've gotten used to holding their previous one? I imagine people who have been lifelong PlayStation owners and who now buy an Xbox, would have similar teething problems with the Xbox controller. Neither is better, in my opinion, they're just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I had a 360 and went for a PS4 and the controller was fine straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've transitioned from the 360 to the PS4 controller amazingly well. First few days were weird mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 What headset ya'll recommend. Don't want to spend a fortune to listen to Jono moan. Anyone happy with their set under £20? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 I believe the general concensus when the topic came up before was the official wireless headset, about £65 according to amazon, may be cheaper elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some turtle beach PX12's, they jack into your aux plug in the controller, so they're "wireless" to a degree, the sound is very good 12. dolby surround. They cost me £30.

Stevo985 Posted March 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2016 Can't recommend a cheap one as I've never bought one, but I can vouch for the official one. It's excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
