The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

so how about the internet?? required?

is XBL required now or did I misread? So you have to have buy the membership now to play the games?

how about psn??
 
I dunno, being an 80s baby, I got used to these giant leaps in technology. This one doesn't seem that big.

I am looking for jumps in textures, shaders, physics engines, AI, game size, game experience. The physical 3d image itself is diminishing returns as polygons are added. I expect 2nd, 3rd, 4th gen games to get a lot better.
 
So the PS4 willnot be backwards compatible. Will there be a PS4 version of GTA 5? I only own 4 games. I am way behing the curve I just bought the first Kane and Able and Uncharted.

Too busy with life to game, but now that school is over I will get into it more. Really no reason for me to have a PS4. I still got a bunch of stuff to play on my 3. I really wanna play Watch Dogs (reason for my preorder).
There will not be a ps4 verison of gta5. Maybe you can play it when genkai comes out, but that'll be months after gta5 is released. If I were you, I'd just cop the ps3 verison of watch dogs. Unless the ps4 verison is leaps and bounds over the ps3 verison, I don't really see the point in getting a console for a game that's multiplatform. I'd reccomend that you save your money, play the last gen games, and when you're finally ready to enter the next gen, enter it.That's just my opinion. You don't have to agree with it.
For some strange reason, I just not impressed with the PS4 or the new Xbox....
I was thinking the same thing after both of the console reveals, but after their e3s, I'm excited for what the next gen consoles will bring to the table.

m$'s next gen console, less so.
Is paid PS+ going to include Galkai streaming too? Or is that an additional cost?
ps+ is required for multiplayer, so gaikai is not included. Gaikai will be most likely be a seperate service that you also pay a monthly fee for access to a library of games. Some people have termed it, the netflix of gaming. If that's true, I'd assume that it would be reasonably priced. 
do you have to pay a monthly fee for internet?
Yes, $50 a year for ps+. You get discounts and free games though.

The internet is required every 24 hours. If the console doesn't connect to the internet within 24 hours, supposedly the console stops working.

XBL is required to play multiplayer, just like on the 360. This time you get two free games a month. 

ps+ is required for online multiplayer, because supposedly sony needs the money to make their ps network better.

You get discounts and free games.

Are you sure that you intially preordered the launch edition instead of the standard edition.

Also, from my understanding, they started sending those emails out when the launch edition was sold out.

So if you initally preordered the launch edition, you wouldn't recieve that email.
Are you referring to the following email?

"Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Thank you for pre-ordering the PlayStation 4. Yesterday we made a change to the name of the product by adding "Launch" and "Standard" editions, which may have caused confusion for some of our customers.

We are writing to confirm that you ordered the "Launch Edition," which is Release-Day Delivery eligible. All other aspects of the two editions are identical.

You do not need to take any action or make any changes to your current order."

Ok, I preordered before there was a standard edition.My understanding was the email was sent to everyone who had ordered before there was a "standard edition " as well. 
nevermind. The email you recieved is diff. From the one that ppl who ordered the standard edition. The email sent to standard edition buyers said something like "we can't guarantee release day shipping due to so many preorders." so i think that a diff. Types of emails were sent to both standard editon buyers ane launch edition buyers.
 
If Galkai lets me stream ANY game from the PS1, PS2 or PS3 library. I will gladly drop upwards of $50 a year for it.
some ppl think that the fee will be $100 a year, but that's just a rumor. Also they're building a game library. Meaning that only select games will be able to be played via gaikai rather the the entire game libraries of the ps1-3. I could be wrong though. This info is what I've read fromgaming articles.
