The Ps4 and Xbox one have been a big succes so far. But I wondered how SEGAbits stance is on this new gen.
Personally i've been very hesitant in jumping on the new consoles. I feel like i may not get too much use out of them at the moment. What about you guys and what have your experiences been like so far? Positive? Negative? Satisfying enough? Or still waiting?
I was hovering on the PS4 a lot since bloodborne came out. Been feeling the urge before every exclusive comes out. But realized that the games i wanna get for ps4 will come out on the ps3 as well. Still gotta beat dark souls as well (not going too well).
Got a WII U before the ps4 and One came out. I feel like I made the right pick so far for my own tastes at least
-
I've only picked up a Wii U so far. I'm a big fan of the Miiverse feature, and I feel like it's been a better choice as far as games that I'm into at the moment.
That said, I have a few PS4 games on pre-order, and I'm looking forward to picking one up by the end of the year sometime. MGS V, FFXV, and Uncharted 4 are the big reasons for me to make the jump. Out side of Infamous, there isn't much out for the current gen that's really grabbing me.
It's been nice to be able to play a lot of the newer indie titles on the Vita too.
-
I have my Bayonetta 2 Box but that's it.
No games I want to play that I can't play on my PC anyway.
-
Have both the XBox One and PS4 . Both brilliant consoles with some great games already. Just can't wait for the Rainbow Six Seige, Halo 5 and The Division . Also have a Wii U but it hardly gets look in
-
Got the PS4 and Wii U. I'd say if you have a good PC, the PS4 isn't worth it right now as the only really good exclusives so far are Bloodborne and Resogun. I don't have a good PC though, so the PS4 does just fine for me. Also I'm loving Bloodborne.
The Wii U is like most Nintendo consoles past the SNES: it's great if all you really want from it is Nintendo games.
-
WiiU and PC here.
I'll buy an Xbox when Phantom Dust comes out. If they cancel that game, then bye bye Xbox.
PS4 will happen too, and will probably be my main console, but I see no rush to buy it. I'll get it when Persona 5 comes out.
-
I've wanted to jump right into Wii U ever since it came out, but money and space have been the main issues keeping me at bay. I've got six consoles and a PC next to my TV, and i'm frankly afraid to push it further given how many wires I contend with.
But Bayo 2, Smash Bros., Wonderful 101, EarthBound, Mario 3D World, and the Virtual Console in general (especially that Metroid Prime Trilogy, mmmmm) are more than enough reason for me to want to pick one up.

I really don't get why people (and this isn't a dig at you) compare or try to link a PC and a console and never have done - They're really different imo and shouldn't be compared to each other . I will beg to differ on the Snes and Wii U though . The Wii U is nothing like the Snes - The Snes when it came out was state of the art and really powerful console (bar the CPU) and it also came with stunning support from not just Nintendo by most 3rd parties - The Wii U is nothing like that imo
-
Yeah, don't compare the PC to underpowered PCs with brand names and laggy UIs.
PC and Wii U. I might get a Playstation 4 if there are decent exclusives I want.
-
Yeah, don't compare the PC to underpowered PCs with brand names and laggy UIs
No I don't and never did the DC days (which its self was just a PC in a console box, never mind the XBox) There's a vast difference to the console's and PC's and thats looking over price and easy of use . The main difference is that as a console user you that no matter when you buy the console be that in it's 1st year or the 5 or 6th year down the line- all the games for that console, will work on it, run and all look and sound, control exactly the same.
The easy of use and the standard nature of a console is nothing like that of a PC (but also then the console failing in that you can't boost the Ram Ect ). That's why to me even as I console and PC (with more than a decent rig )owner I'll always go for the console versions 9 times out of 10 and did just the same in the DC days when the likes of SEGA had a decent PC line porting its DC games to the PC with in most cases better visuals and res Ect .

Honestly for me consoles and PC's only dissimilarity are the 1st party and partnered exclusives. Its all about the games and I think what Timmit means is that there are too few for someone who already decided to build a PC when last gen took so long to jump into the new gen. What used to hold back the PC market was that it wasnt very strong untill steam revitalized it so all the 3rd party games and more come out on PC. I think you're argument counts for the majority though. Most people still prefer console's streamlined experience
-
is that there are too few for someone who already decided to build a PC when last gen took so long to jump into the new gen
Oh I see , well that's always the case for a new console just over a year in really . There are some really really good games on the both systems at the mo , but they aren't quite total exclusives as there is more offten than a not a cutdown version for the older consoles.
I really don't know why people give the PS4 or XBox One such a hard time when they're both ace systems and people should remember just how rubbish it was for the 1st year of the DC and systems like the PS2 life , even my fav system of all time the Saturn , took more than a year to really get going .
-
I compared them to PC because these days, the majority of third party games on PS4 and Xbox One are on PC as well. Even Japanese developed games, which used to be mostly only for consoles, are getting PC releases. See MGSV and Street Fighter V.
If you have a powerful enough PC to run those games well, there are only a few games on PS4 and Xbox One at the moment to get one of those two. That's not the case with Wii U or, back when it was out, with Dreamcast because you can't/couldn't get a lot of the good games on the systems anywhere else. While right now for both the PS4 and Xbox One there are only a few console-only games worth owning. I can see that changing in one or two years though.
-
Want a PS4 this year.
I have a Wii U, but it doesn't feel anything like next gen to me. I mainly got it for Sonic games, didn't realize Nagoshi would completely screw over Iwata/Nintendo like he did with the Sonic deal, so now I kind of feel like a sucker for buying one. But, I've had some fun with it, so I suppose there are some worse purchases that could have been made.
Really do want a PS4 though.
-

That used to happen years back People seem to forget not only about the MSX , but systems like the FM Towns and Sharp X6800 both of which enjoyed console and arcade ports (most of which were far better than the MD or Snes ports too) , but as I Mega Drive user not only were the Sharp systemsout of my price league , I never really thought it was fair to compare the Sharp system to a console as they were both meant for different users really.
That's not the case with Wii U or, back when it was out, with Dreamcast because you can't/couldn't get a lot of the good games on the systems anywhere else.
Again one goes back and there were quite a few SEGA PC ports of its console games as soon as Windows 95 started to open up PC gaming to the masses and it never ever bothered me that PC users could enjoy ports of some of the better Mega CD, Saturn, DC SEGA games with in most cases more features, full on-line play and in most cases with better GFX and Screen res . I really doubt many PSX users were bothered about the likes of G-Police, Wipeout, Colin Mcrae, Resident Evil 1 and II , MGS and a host of other top PSX games were all on the PC and with 3FDX support Ect . Look at SEGA Japan along with Capcom there were some of the 1st to come out to support Power VR for example .
To me PC and Console users are different really . Console users will always want to play them games on the console (if they have a PC rig good enought) and deicated PC gamers will never lower themself to the closed system that is a console and its limits on screen Res and FPS.
-
Yeah they used to but FM Towns and Sharp X6800 didn't have 120 million active users like Steam does. I like PC because I don't have to deal with a aging box that gets bad support. I think its sad that Playstation 4 is BARELY after two years of being out, is getting 'pause/resume' download feature.
The thing is, there really isn't much different between consoles now and PCs... outside of consoles being very limited in what they do. PC has better priced games, better hardware, more free content and more users on the service.
I think one of the issues that 'new generation' of consoles always fail at is 'finding an audience' right away. For example: You get 50 million people to buy a PS3, lets say 30 million are active gamers. Now you release a Playstation 4 and start again at zero.
While Steam has been increasing its userbase by 50% each year and doesn't have to do this. All your older games work on your new rig. Shit, I'm running an really old card on my computer and have had no issue running newer games yet (GTX 560).
Personally think this stuff is making consoles less and less appealing to the hardcore gamer. Not to mention PC now has massive online competitive experiences that aren't on console and are way bigger than Call of Duty ever was.
-
Yeah they used to but FM Towns and Sharp X6800 didn't have 120 million active users like Steam does.
And how many of those 120 million users have the PC set up to play the latest games ?. Out of those 120 million users how many buy the latest PC games ?.Looking over the point I was making even in Japan decades ago there were better PC ports to the console version to the users with the money to buy the likes of Sharp . Active users is one thing, but the latest full price PC games is quite another
You get 50 million people to buy a PS3, lets say 30 million are active gamers. Now you release a Playstation 4 and start again at zero.
Its a rather silly point . The PS3 had 7 years of life now its time for the users to upgrade and seeing as SONY is going to hit 20 million PS4 soon, Its going to have little trouble outselling the PS3 in the PS4 life time, the main gamesrs are ready to move on and now the PS3/360 is a great toy to buy for your kids . You still using the same PC Spec you had 7 years ago I very much doubt it , eveyone needs to upgrade at one point be you a PC, Console, Mobile, Tablet gamer.
All your older games work on your new rig.
No they don't at all. Lots of my games like the original Half Life, same goes for the Blood II The chosen , GTA II and so on and even changing my Gfx card as meant that Crysis 3 won't load at all . Even on PC lots of games need to be updates or get a re-relased so users can play them on their latest PC systems
Not to mention PC now has massive online competitive experiences that aren't on console and are way bigger than Call of Duty ever was.
PC's have alwasy had that for decades . Console are still the lots of people play the games and if one looks at the stats for COD ECT - then its more offten than not on-line with the consoles and hence why MS and SONY are making millions off the back of their online subs alone and when the big developers still want a piece of the pie .
-
I have both an Xbox One and a Wii U. Definitely loving my Xbox One thus far, i still think it has the best exclusives on a Next Gen Platform(sorry Wii U).
It's not just about the games on the Xbox for me. The convenience of the Kinect voice features is amazing. I was never a huge fan of Kinect, but it's super handy when my daughter loses my damn TV Remote. Saying "play" "stop" "fast forward" "Watch NHL Network" etc. The OS has been getting a ton of updates since it's release, with full customization on colors, backgrounds, etc.
The Wii U has been okay, not great. I hardly play it, it's actually been unplugged for a few months and for some reason it has a hard time connecting to my Wifi..
-
... TA. You don't even know what your talking about. I have Half Life and GTA II and they work fine. Shit, they are still being sold on Steam...
http://store.steampowered.com/app/70/ (http://store.steampowered.com/app/70/) Even has 7,000 new reviews for it. How is it not playable? Why are you just making stuff up to dislike PCs? As for GTA 2 you can download this 17mb patch and it plays fine: http://gtamp.com/gta2/ (http://gtamp.com/gta2/)
Again, its a better option than not getting your PSN/Wiiware/XBLA titles on new consoles... and now being forced to pay to play online.
How many people play games on PS4? Can you give me a usage number? I know lots of people with PS3's that only played Blurays. So who cares? All Steam is is a store, while PS3 is multimedia. Hey, that argument goes both ways. 120 million users > maybe 20 million soon. If I was a company I'd rather develop for 100 million more people.
-
The big thing for me is back in the day until around Xbox/Xbox 360 era, console games and PC games seemed to be completely different worlds.
Consoles exclusively had: Arcade racers, platformers, action games and JRPGs
PC exclusively had: Simulation, RTS, shooters, CRPGs
There was very little crossover, or when there was it didn't work very well. Good luck playing shooters and RTS games on old console controllers, by the same logic getting pads/sticks/steering wheels to work on PC was like a lottery.
Nowadays 90% of the games are released on all systems and PC has every control option available so easily (native 360 controller support for nearly every game for example), and the architecture is so similar that everyone ports their games to everything.
With modern distribution services like Steam and GOG, keeping games updated and patched etc is really simple too.
I just personally feel like PC and Console have become really homogenous to the point where I don't feel the need to buy a new console.
Compare this to the old days and I wanted a Dreamcast to play Sonic, Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia et.al and I wanted a PC to play Half-Life, Age of Empires, Deus Ex, GTA2 etc. Neither could really provide what the other was giving.
-
You don't even know what your talking about. I have Half Life and GTA II and they work fine
I think you find I do . My original copies for Half Life and Opposing Force, Blue Shift do not work on my new PC , but work on my old Media PC . To play Half Life on my PC I had to download the Steam version and I can forget about playing any of my windows 95 and dos games That the trouble with PC's
they are still being sold on Steam
Do you know what you're talking about ? . I still have the original CD-Rom version of the 7th guest and the likes of Duke Nukem 3D and its add on packs and that doesn't even work on my old Media PC, never mind my new rig . They may be up on Steam, but that's no good to anyone with a modern PC and the old copy of the game . So to the likes play 7th guest one needs to download the new version that will work with the latest windows and PC set up
How many people play games on PS4? Can you give me a usage number?
Millions
I know lots of people with PS3's that only played Blurays. So who cares?
Silly I know lots of people with a PC and use it for nothing more than work, internet and to check their emails - who cares
If I was a company I'd rather develop for 100 million more people
Only works if you know those 100 million all have the spec to handle the game doesn't it . What the spec's you need to play Total War II ? . I willing to bet anyone with a PC bought at the same time as the PS3 -would also need to upgrade to play Total War and speaking of Total since its sales are no-where near that of 100 millon is safe to say no all of Steam users buy the same games, same goes for Alien Iso, Footy Manager and host of other Big PC games
GTA 5 alone on the PS4 and XBox One as sold over 10 million copies - Not many full price games even on steam can boast that really. [size=78%] [/size]

Nice points and I agree with most looking over the likes of Dues Ex/Half Life came to the PS2 and GTA II to the DC . The trouble I have is the Japan lack of focus on the consoels and so that's played a big part in those unique [size=78%][/size]console [/color]and I also do miss the days of custom silicon - where one console could do a effect that was impssible on the other -I also so miss the days of the traditional shooter and 3D shooters that were and still remain my fav genre of gaming

Have you done research to see if they work? It might not work out of the box but it might require a simple patch to run.
Also for the really old games, DOS box will run them.

They got ported to console, but were pretty poor imitations of the real deal.
Even Duke 3D on Saturn, the miracle that it was, was no where near as playable as the PC version with a M+KB Combination, and was missing online play and expansions etc.
Ditto for stuff that went the other way, VF2 came to PC, but good luck getting an arcade stick or pad to work well on PC compared to nowadays.
-

Yes tried everything no luck . Crysis 3 well even EA haven't a clue what to say and looking at their boards it seems I'm not the only one who's had issues . Dos Box works with a lot of stuff, but stuff like Jurassic Park Cd-Rom again don't work -
-

Yes and that's my point as a console gamer was always use to the PC having the Tech edge, more so for 3D games . That's why to me console and PC gamers (the die-hards ones for each platform are different) . Quake III was cut back on the DC not that it matter to me or any one else who had and loved the DC version.
-
If you have the CD key you can redeem it on Steam and get a downloaded and updated version of Half Life. So, no, while games from 1998 have some issues, they are easily fixed (as you can see) by support from developers. Tell me when I can play Playstation 2, PSN titles on PS4 using my old purchases. You can't.

Tried all that and it didn't work . Also my 3FX version of the original GTA games doesn't work . So sorry even on PC it's far from a perfect world.
-
3 games that are like few dollars on steam = 'not a perfect world' when PS4 has thousands of titles that came out 5 years ago that don't work.
What would you rather have? I think i'll go with PC. Have fun rebuying PSN games on PS4.
-
Also I believe GTA1 & 2 are free and can be downloaded via Rockstar's website now :D
-

You just keep the PS3. Now you using the same spec PC you had 7 years ago I so bet you aren't .
Have fun rebuying PSN games on PS4
I'll be keeping my PS3 thanks.
-
No, but I own over 250 PC games and haven't had an issue with a single one. Period. Not everyone has room to hook up their PS3 all the time when they want to play Burn Zombie Burn. Hate on PC all you want, consoles will never match its ability to play older games.

Got Playstation 4 and enjoying some more smaller titles, but excited to get my hands on Godzilla and Dragon Quest Heroes when they finally arrive in the West.

Ha! Yeah, I've been reading old issues of ODCM and XBN and they act so surprised when an RTS game is on a console. Most of the article is "how the hell will this work!?" and ODCM praises the mouse and keyboard accessories as being the only way it's possible.
-

You, but PC aren't standard even some of the latest games like Crysis III have issues w . I used to play a lot of the old Dos and various windows games back in the day and still have loads of them and every now and again like the to dig the odd classic out , but games like Kingpin, Unreal (which was pain in the ass to get working with GFX card back in the day too) Magic Carpet, Blood II (and I love that game) X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter , Hallf Life Collection and various flight sims (which I used to love on the PC) have issues on my current rig
Hate on PC all you want, consoles will never match its ability to play older games.
I don't hate PC at all : Looking over the fact that I'm all for multi platform games . I just like the easy of use of the console and the way all games look and run the same on the console (not matter when you bought it) With the PC that just isn't the case - That doesn't mean I hate the PC at all. I would love it if SEGA Japan used the best PC tech to develop hig end games and then port it down the consoles much like the major 3D parties are doing like Ubisoft Ect .
By that logic, can't you just keep your old PC
I still have my Pentium II 3DFX III PC and my HP Media Centre PC 700Kr infact . But setting up old PC's is a pain in the ass to play the old games and even on those old systems some of the old dos games like 7th Guest , Dracula Unleased had issues - BC even on the PC is far from perfect.
Not everyone has room to hook up their PS3 all the time
Yes a PS3 slim takes up so much room doesn't it . Given the PS3 is HDMI is just a simple case of swaping consoles if you really must play that PSN game and I'm sure SONY Cloud based service will be ready to go soon (but that will cost extra I know)

Man your taste always surprises me. I know it's really shallow of me but the zelda skin in hyrule warriors made me try out the first musou game. Wish I gave it a chance much sooner.

Haha what's so surprising? I enjoyed games like Streets of Rage and I love the stage levels in Yakuza, what can I say? I love blasting through an army of baddies! (Although hold off until you get a PS4 or if Square makes a PC version, I hear the PS3 version of Dragon Quest is quite gimped)
Dynasty Warriors definitely is a series that gets a lot of flak and sometimes for the wrong reasons. Although I know the series updates slowly, the change between 4 > 6 and 6 > 8 is always massive. If you can try out the Empires expansion of them, taking over the country and ruling your own kingdom is so much damn fun.

I meant the godzilla part :p. But I feel ya man. I also like the whole capturing keeps to spawn new troops at your side really great. It sorta feels like an RTS in that regard. Im gettin the dragon quest game but will have to wait when it comes out here on ps4 indeed. Looking forward to what uniques and cool modes it'll bring. They're content heavy games if impressions from hyrule warriors count for them all. So I think perhaps i'll keep it to the unique collabs instead of the real deals. Maybe some day ill try the real deal on steam . Usually they never caught my attention so with a sale who knows ill make the jump next time!

I'm more surprised you didn't know I was a big Godzilla fan to begin with!
Also Playstation 4 version has multiplayer.

To be fair, I think that's still true though haha!
RTS on Consoles is always a bit hit and miss. I think the biggest change is shooters being very prolific on console and traditional console-centric games like racers and action/platformers being seen on PC more often.
EDIT:
Akee is DW8 on Steam worth getting? Never played a Mousou game either, not sure if it's my thing. Might pick it up one day on sale.

I don't think it's something you'd enjoy, you'd find it too repetitive and boring I think.
But if you want to hack down thousands of bodies than your money would go a long way. I haven't tried Empires 8 yet, but once I do I'll let you know how it stacks up against the rest of the series.

I downloaded PS3 Godzilla demo from the Japanese store, and the controls were very frustrating. I hope it's more fun with the western release.

I had an Xbox One. I could not use it because I don't have the right type of Internet connection at my house. I tried a different connection. The problem was that it used way to much data from my connection, and it took way too long to download. Is the PS4 any different?

The average XBOX One and PS4 game size ranges from 30GB to 40GB. The average XBOX 360 and PS3 games ranged from 4GB to 16GB. Unless you were Kojima, then your game was the full capacity of the bluray disc on PS3, 50GB. lol
So yeah, PS4 wouldn't be any different for you. Probably better off buying all major games physically until you get a better internet connection.
-
Like I argued on Sega Forums, if your internet speed blows, I don't recommend downloading digital next gen games. If you pick up a PS4 get physical copies like Will said.
-
Due to crazy circumstances I just was given a ps4 and a potpourri of games (Dragonball XV, Shadow of Mordor, Alien : Isolation, Wolfenstein, DA: Inquisition, Bloodborne) and am feeling completely overwhelmed by the amount of titles suddenly at my disposal. Anyone have a suggestion as to what order I should tackle these in? I played a little Alien and was completely blown away by the visuals and atmosphere. REALLY shitty character animation is hurting the experience somewhat but not by much.

If you like dying a lot and taking your time figuring out ways of defeating enemies, Bloodborne, if you want a stealth horror game Alien. Wolfenstein is good too, Shadow of Mordor is fun but repetitive and I haven't played the rest.
-
I've been wondering why I can't get into Dark Souls.. I think it's probably cause I hate dying and replaying the same shit over and over again..
-
Then skip it for sure.

Due to crazy circumstances I just was given a ps4 and a potpourri of games (Dragonball XV, Shadow of Mordor, Alien : Isolation, Wolfenstein, DA: Inquisition, Bloodborne) and am feeling completely overwhelmed by the amount of titles suddenly at my disposal. Anyone have a suggestion as to what order I should tackle these in? I played a little Alien and was completely blown away by the visuals and atmosphere.

Ayyy LMAO and Bloodborne you should play, use the rest as colourful coffee coasters to prevent your table getting stained, or as frisbees to play with in the front yard.
-
Wolfenstein is great.

Such a bummer cause it looks soo good too..

Try it out. You die a lot, but it's not overly punishing, and it's quite fun. When you die, it feels like "I need to learn to fight this guy better", not 'that was bullshit'.
Let me know if you play it on Steam, we can even do some co-op stuff :)

You have a PS4? I was planning on buying one soon, pretty sure i'll buy Bloodborne with it.

No PS4, I probably won't be getting into the next gen for a while tbh.
-
Haven't jump on the new gen yet.
There's just not that many games seducing me..mostly because almost all the exciting ones are also coming out on PC.
I'm also hopeful that slim versions are coming out soon.
Either way, maybe I'll get an Xbone after Halo 5 drops.
-
For me, tempting games are Sunset Overdrive, Crimson Dragon (I already own it thanks to Games with Gold, but I don't own an Xbox One), Star Wars Battlefront, Mad Max, and Alien: Isolation (own it for PC, but my PC is nowhere near as powerful as a PS4 or Xbox One).

Gotta say that Phil Spencer really fixed Xbox. The urge to get one grew pretty big in the last year.
-
Yeah, Phil Spencer was a great move by Microsoft.
-
I really kind of wrote down the One. At least subconsiously. I mean why would I get inferior hardware(than ps4) with less japanese support? But I love the software. Not just the games but the whole new UI and backwards compatibility thats coming.
But theyre also showing their style again. It seems they had some sort of identity crisis, but found it back again under phil spencer.
Seems like a package i really would wanna have soon.
-
Mattrick was responsible for MS's crisis. As soon as he took over during the 360 era, he undid all their hard work. He knew nothing about games or gamers and Spencer knows both.
Rare Replay is really the big one for me, but with everything else I want coming out on W10, it doesn't seem me worth buying an XBO just yet.
-
I sorta wanted a Xbone one, but i'll just wait for PC ports of their games. So I'll be fine. Thanks tho.
-
I'm leaning toward an Xbox One and PS3 now, and a PS4 closer to Shenmue 3's release. However, I am keeping a very close eye on SEGA's plans for 2016. A must have PS4 exclusive would tip the scales for PS4 now.
-
You can get a PS3 piratically given away on craigslist. Just hassle them, most people are getting rid of theirs to get a PS4.

Make the jump man, you won't regret it. XBOX One has a great line-up and it's only getting better.
I just got Rare Replay, best compilation of games ever. 30 games for $30 cannot be beat.

Im already decided to get one. I really hope they keep going down this road.

:( Rare Replay. I'm itching to play it...but, one reason just isn't enough.
