Popular Post Sir-Syzygy Posted May 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) So it's clear: This topic is about comparing what each generation of PlayStation had to offer. I am aware the PS4's lifespan is still going, but technically the same can be said for the PS3. This is a discussion of how I view each system as they appear at the time of me writing. Also, most of my issues aren't necessarily the PS4 system's fault, just developers who seem to have lost their way in making video games. Do keep in mind I’m not even talking about the admissions made with the PS4 hardware (such as the loss of backwards compatibility, lack of a CD player and the Blu Ray issues) or the fact in order to play most games online an egregious fee is required (a practice I am shocked to see becoming a common occurrence among console gaming, I thought gamers would put up a better fight). I believe the time of PS3 was a vastly superior period for gaming compared to the PS4. The PS3 may have objectively less power, but developers seemed to be able to actually properly design and develop games more efficiently for the PS3, as opposed to the PS4, which seems to opt for flashy graphics (that honestly aren't very special or nice to look at) over a steady framerate or decent game mechanics. Sure, the PS3 was (overall) a downgrade from the PS2 era, but that only makes the PS4 seem worse by comparison. A lot of these issues were apparent with the PS3, but I can’t help but feel they’re more prominent with the PS4. You may form a line and reply with the utmost of manners that I know you all have. Please refer to @TheEyeOfSa if you forget your manners, he’s an expert. Remember: This is meant to start the conversation, so no need to accuse me of a lack of evidence, since that's not my intention.

Tepp-a Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) I am a bit split about this after finishing the post I guess i am not split at all. As you mentioned already, underdeveloped games are hardly the playstation's fault but the game developer's, who try to keep up with the age of sensationalism. While the PS3 introduced me to video gaming, the Ps4 enabled me more imo. PS3 online-gaming was uninteresting to me, there was hardly any ground to build a community on. With (private) parties and communities, that's so much easier on the PS4. Not having to buy a PS3 bluetooth-compatible headset also helps in this regard - i want good sound quality without having to spend hundreds on a headset.... I think that's my biggest criterie when comparing the two. Also, lots of features like spotify integration really make the ps4 more than just a gaming console to me. I know that netflix and amazon were/are available on the PS3 too, and frankly i have no idea how well the apps are implemented because my ps3 is at my girlfriend's and she only uses it for offline gaming, but the ps4 became an integral par of my life not just because of gaming. Of course there are a lot of bad sides to the PS, too. I remember when i had the blue light of death the first time and nearly flipped. but overall, very happy with this baby. if you'd ask me today which one to keep if I had to throw one out, I'd keep the ps4 not only because of its up-to-dateness.

Grace5959 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 PS4 lacks actual games, most of it is just crap being belted out to garner as much money as possible. PS3 has a slew of games to choose from, many bad but many unique. And of course, PS4 is incredibly anti-user friendly. PS4 graphics are so terrible it isn't even funny, it reminds me of watching some badly colour corrected Dragon Ball Z videos on Youtube and my eyes feeling like they're bleeding. Game developers need to be more dedicated to their games and try to put out actual quality items. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to games, I understand people liking the ps3 better, but I love the ps4 and exclusives like Bloodborne, Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn and Until Dawn. And the indie scene have amazing titles like Pyre, Bound and so on. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terra Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I love my PS3 but I'd still lean towards PS4 more. Sure the PS3 has a great library of games just waiting to be played but the PS4 has them too. I miss the XMB from PS3 but it's only a minor issues. The PS3 store is still a slow and unresponsive mess that I don't think will ever get fixed though. I don't regret getting a PS4, I only regret I didn't get one sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGS4 on PS3 was the pinnacle of graphics, it's all been downhill since then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not_like_therest Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I am indecisive. I loved my ps3 libary that I had yet to even start when I decided to trade it in, mine was pre-owned and was starting to show it. Every time I wanted to sync my trophy list I had to save and quit the game to do so. The store crashing/slowness was something I could deal with. I swear Sony deliberately sabotaged their updates to push customers into buying a ps4. On the other hand, I love how my ps4 feels instant but seems like there are more remasters than new games. I'm fine with sequels but I do relish new IPs that aren't 8 bit/16 bit indie/ shovelware just to have that "indie" title. Or that "competition" to be the next indie darling. I don't want to even hear about ps5 yet either. I feel like it will be a repeat remaster gen to get all games to that coveted 4k/60fps bragging rights. I feel like there is a lot more life to be had in ps4 than another system release that wouldn't be too far ahead of a ps4 pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaCheese94 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I have my ps3 since about the time FF13 was out half a year or so (no idea when that was) and it's still going. from time to time I think it's overheating when I use it 4-5 hours in a row and then it freezes, but never anthying worse than that. It is also not loud. Every single PS4 game I own makes the PS4 roar like a tornado and it's really annoying. Still I think the PS4 made a ton of improvments, especially to the interface. I don't care about minor graphic differences, so I don't see why anyone would say PS4 graphics are bad. Maybe buy a better TV then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
