Yeah, the whole using firmware updates as a one up point is pretty darn funny.
As soon as I see someone use it I automatically stop reading the rest of their post.

Though Destiny, TLoU Remastered and Black Flag were my favourite experiences on my PS4 to-date, I've never been more happy with what Plus is offering in a long time, personally.
Rather than those 'AAA' titles, Resogun, Towerfall, Binding of Isaac, Velocity were awesome. I'd rather any of those than Bioshock Infinite.

Ps4 has had a decent first year but has yet to have that real "next gen" experience.
This feels like a half step up from last gen, not a leap. Pretty depressing.

To put it another way, if the PS4 literally did not exist and the PS3/360 gen had just gone on another year, would you have had a substantially worse time playing games this year?
Very few people would be able to truly answer "yes" to that, if they were being totally honest with themselves.
I like the PS4 and if I'm going to buy a multi-platform title I'm obviously going to buy it on PS4, but if I didn't have one and I bought the same game on PS3 it's still the same game.

Yes, Sony pays me. I'm getting my shill check from them on Monday hopefully.
Anyway, you said that there were no good Sony exclusives this year. I disagree with that, and I'm sure many others would also. Furthermore, once one spends a decent amount of time on this board, they can recognize the small portion of users who are disturbingly devoted to a company and defending that company's console. So coming from you, the statement that there are no good games for the PS4 is just annoying noise that adds nothing to the discussion. It's shit-posting at its finest.
Disagree. They were supporting us on PS3 right up and in some cases through the PS4 launch. We thankfully weren't abandoned for years.
How do you feel that the author named a game for his argument that is not yet out on PS3 and is not developed by the same studio as the one that made the currently released versions? Speaking of Shadow of Mordor.
IMO we can't know yet whether or not it's the same game, as we haven't seen any footage of that game yet. And this is a game that actually was mentioned to have been reduced in scope not only in graphics.
Last gen ports.
Thing is, PS4 doesn't exist in a vacuum. The person who wrote the article has access to every platform, including PC. In that context, PS4's offering was pretty dire.

I bought an Xbone before a PS4. I would have laughed in your face if you said to me a year ago that I would end up doing that.
Microsoft's determination to turn around their disaster of a hardware platform and Sony's half arsed first year has been interesting to watch. One platform has somehow become less desirable as time goes on while the other has transformed from something genuinely terrible to something desirable.

It's rather amusing that most seem not to have bothered reading the article and have misaligned the actual point to Xbox One vs PS4. When actually the article only has one positive directed at Microsoft in the closing paragraph, the rest of the mentions are all negative (blundering, catastrophe, having less horsepower, being trounced in sales terms). I wish people would stop seeing constructive criticism as shots fired.
It's a very well written article that conveys exactly my feelings on the current home console generation, with perhaps the exception of the Wii U. I'm literally in this generation with Vita as my main, and as much as I love my Vita I don't want that to be the case for the remainder of the generation. I hope 2015 sees a big step up.
I don't get this.
Per praxis most PS exclusives stay that way.
Xbox exclusives come to PC later.
Unfortunately this isn't really true. Not true enough atleast.
What completely nonsense. Yes you can play Diablo 3 and TLOU and GTA5 on PS3 but not in 1080p/60fps so give me a break. The OS is faster and smoother then the PS3 OS ever was and on top of that the DS4 is in a whole new level of controller design. PS4 has so many cool new features that it don´t matter if it doesn´t have 10 must-buy exclusive in it´s first year. Sony will deliver as always just wait for 2015 and get blown away. Bloodborne and The Order (to some extend) will making the start.

For a website that has a section dedicated to dissecting games down to minute differences in framerate and IQ, this argument really doesn't make much sense. I'd still buy PS4 just to be able to enjoy BF4 with better graphics, framerate, player count and party chat even if it didn't have any exclusives.

I'd say Infamous is the most "nextgen" game this gen so far. And the game was released in march.
It's the most technically and visually impressive game this gen so far. That's pretty impressive considering it's an open world game as well..

I honestly agree with Eurogamer, not sure why you had to ask if it was sarcasm.
Well, I didn't enjoy Dark Souls at all so I'm really not interested in that game. It's definitely a respectable studio though, couple that with The Order 1886 and the beginning of next year looks strong for PS4.

Creatively, I'd take indie over AAA any day!
But commercially speaking, when you dig into the sales figures, a dodgy Assassin's Creed is still going to ship 1mil+ units, whereas your Towerfalls and Shovel Knights are doing more in the region of 50k or maybe 100k unit sales at much lower prices.
...Sunday?

It was very pretty but a step back as a game.
I mean something that couldn't be achieved on last gen as well as being technically impressive.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Man. I don't mind the first year at all. After all I survived the PS3 launch lol. It was always obvious that the way to Fall 2014 would be rough but thanks to many sports titles, indie games and Diablo I didn't feel too bothered. Now it's like there are too many games lol.
And Sony always delivered awesome first party content. They did well at launch and it's not like they can deliver a AAA title every month. That's not possible. Give them time. It's not like they are swimming in money like MS. Yet they deliver great games. And no one will care about Sonys Fall 2014 lineup once Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 are out.

You'd better go with PC if "frequent updates" and "online services" are what you look for in gaming entertainment...

Interesting way to put the launch offerings in the most negative light possible - so much so that he was compelled to mention what wasn't there (Driveclub) in that sentence rather than what was there: a well-received, free PS Plus game (Resogun).

It's out in a matter of days, and it's not really an argument we can have without knowing how the game compares.

How does PS4 become less desirable when the platform has only grown since then? (more features added, more games released, more games announced.) Price hasn't increased either.

Sure, just keep telling yourself that if that makes you feel better selling your PS4

Then I think you should skip the Ps4 and X1 entirely because most of the games will be the same, only prettier.
Ps4 will have VR though.

The thing is the person is talking about people that bought a PS4 how many of them do you think plays on everything .
For some people PS4 does exist in a vacuum because that is where going to play all there games other than a table or cell phone.
The online bit get's me to. Yes ps4 has had some problem's but overall it's been great for me and I played everything online last gen on the 360. Better multi plats are enough for me that im struggling to play the game's I have especially with the exclusive's. In the end if exclusives are better or not is down to the players preference.

I look forward to a generation long butthurt from Eurogamer. Get ready for the evil PS4 to continue it's dark reign muhahahaha!
When people say that they were tired of the last generation, were they after something new, or something old, but prettier?
That, I think, is the problem I have. I wanted the first, and people who did want the first might be a bit disappointed. People who wanted the second might well be satisfied, but that's not what "tired of the last generation" conveys to me.

Im starting to believe that mass people aka people not using gaming forums are much smarter than we think. They are smart enough not to exclude games and realise that PS4 actually has a lot of good games. Why else would PS4 sell so much? Obviously its gotta have games.
Why in the hell is everything so negative and hyperbolic?

But I think we can have the argument, given that it was argued that you can play this on PS3. Which you at this moment in time you couldn't. Nor could you do that one and a half month ago.
If anything the author should have chosen a better example to make his point that it doesn't matter where you play things on and include a game that you actually can play everywhere.

I will agree that Sony's 1st Part has really failed to live up to its full potential (and then some!) on PS4 and has been quite lackluster.
However, I am hopeful that 2015 Sony will turn things around and deliver the level of superb quality we have come to expect from them in years prior.

Exactly. When looking at next year line-up and considering the not-so exclusive status of XB1 titles like Ryse, DR3, Sunset Overdrive, TR etc...the XB1, is getting less and less desirable than the PS4

I believe it recognizes the market reality that indie games can't push console sales nearly as much as big multiplatform games and full exclusives.
