villa4europe Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 some of them yes definitely, said many times id love an onimusha HD remake, id say the overall success of these HD remakes shows theres definitely a market still there for them, sony are no doubt looking at the huge number of new playstation owners this generation too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 If it was region free I'd be all over it, would love to replay Radiata Stories, Suikoden III and the full Xenosaga trilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have been out of the gaming scene for quite a number of years, I used to have a PS1 and then a PS2. I am very tempted into buying a PS4 but will probably wait until after Christmas in the hope that I get a Christmas bonus and some Cash for Christmas. However, doubt has been placed in my mind by a couple of my friends who reckon Xbox One is the way to go. Should I stick with my original thoughts, or give Xbox a try?

limpid Posted November 24, 2015 Administrator Share Posted November 24, 2015 Will you want to play online with your friends? Given what you've posted, I think that's the only decision you need to make.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 the good exclusives are down 2/3 games on each console, this better on ps4/xbone is nonsense, both do loads of things you'll probably never bother using, one of the big selling points for me was the multi tv thing through pstv and the online game sharing thing, i havent used either in about 6 months, limpid is right it sounds more likely to be down to the multiplayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I bought the PS4 because it's graphically more capable. It outputs most games at 1080p whereas Xbone does at 900p. Also PlayStation support the Sky app, which Microsoft do not. I also like the idea of Playstation TV, might have to get one in order to have some screen time in the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I bought the PS4 because I saw Microsoft's 2013 E3 conference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what you've posted, I think that's the only decision you need to make.. I know some people with PS and some with Xbox, so it is a split decision on that one. The people who recommended the Xbox's are serious gamers, so they would probably kick my butt if I tried to play them online. I think I am leaning slightly towards getting the PS4 at the moment. My daughters will probably want to play Minecraft with their cousin who has a playstation, and that is how I will sell the idea to the Mrs. Thank you for all your comments.

The serious gamers will buy both consoles eventually. Personally I'd want the superior hardware and remote play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd want the superior hardware and remote play. The friends in question are PC gamers which may be why they favour the Xbox. Although from memory, one of them said a while back that he wanted a PS4, but I think his Wife has in the mean time bought him an XBox for Christmas which he accidently found out about beforehand by opening the parcel that arrived. As mentioned in my OP, I am a bit outdated with the latest technology on the gaming front so i am kind of getting told different things by different people which is confusing me. So I am probably sounding a bit thick here but is the PS4 the better hardware with remote play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 25, 2015 Administrator Share Posted November 25, 2015 A quick Google for "remote play" would have confirmed that you are correct 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add that, But Neil, I'd go where your friends are, I've owned both, the differences between the two are so minimal when you actually use both (and not just read a list of specs). For me there's two ways to go about choosing, either choose which exclusives you like more, or choose where your friends are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 25, 2015 Administrator Share Posted November 25, 2015 @PieFacE that doesn't help him though, his mates are gaming on PCs. I didn't know they'd added similar for xboxes (and it's off-topic in this thread). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I know this thread is mostly for active PS4 owners but if you're like me and not a massive gamer and don't yet own one there are some good deals around today. I've just picked up a 500gb PS4 with Uncharted (The Nathan Drake Collection)* and FIFA 16 for £249.99 from Argos. I'll probably sell on Uncharted as well as it doesn't look like a game i'd really play and pick up GTA V instead. * Cheers Davkaus Edited November 30, 2015 by sexbelowsound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The Nathan Drake Collection I assume? Uncharted 4 isn't out for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
