i seen a chart recently comparing the PS4 and that other system and maybe i missed it but the PS4 doesnt have WiFi? please tell me i just skipped over that part..
 
"When you boil it down, we would love to be everywhere, but we're just starting out," Emslie explained. "It comes down to quality, not quantity. We have a fantastic relationship with Microsoft. It just boiled down to, okay, how can we hit this as hard as can and get it on as many platforms as possible and deliver the quality, the 60 hertz, out of the gate? That was the goal.

"We of course would want to go further in the future with stuff, but we're just starting out. It's pretty frustrating! We want to be everywhere. We want to put Titanfall everywhere, but that's where we're at. We're starting there."

...

Let's put it plainly: will PlayStation owners ever see Titanfall?

"It's definitely not out of the question," Emslie replied. "We have a huge appreciation for the fans. Coming out and showing it to everybody, we're super nervous and wanted to make sure everybody loved it. We love all our fans, whatever console they support.

"So yeah. We want to make everybody happy, but this is where we're at right now."
 
^^I think he meant features as in sharing gameplay and the controller touchpad. Not hardware specs.

no i wasnt speaking on what he said, theres was an actaul chart that measured them up in each category but under connection all it said was ethernet or something like that no mention of WiFi..

Sorry, i was commenting on empirestrikesfirst's reply to Velle23, who asked what features does the PS4 have that the PS3 doesn't.

Off the the top of my head just the sharing button that uploads gameplay videos on to Facebook-newsfeed-looking user interface, the controller's touchpad, and gaikai

Not sure if Gaikai should be considered an exclusive ps4 feature since any smartphone and tablet will be able to stream games from it.
 
Here's the xbox centric ps3 controllers.

More praise for the DS4 http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/06...ver-ps3-and-360-controller-mocks-the-fanboys/ Battlefield Lead designers said it's his preference for this gen. Haven't heard one bad thing about this controller.

Anything on the battery life of the DS4?
I have no idea.

I would expect it to have slightly more battery life than the ds3.

It comes with a charging cable, so battery life isn't really that big of a deal.
 
People REALLY hated the DS3 like that? Wow.

Coming from the PSX > PS2 > PS3 I thought Sony controller design was superior, I just never got into the 360 pad. It just didn't feel right. I think the PS4 controller looks real good, I can't wait to actually have it in my hands, I'm sure it's gonna be amazing.

I like the 360 controller for FPS, but everything else I liked the Dualshock.

Dualshock for FPS wasnt even that bad.
 
I always prefer the DS3 over the xbox 360 control. The sticks on the 360 are too tight and the dead zones are :x, but the 360 did get the triggers right.
