At the moment there seems to be plenty of problems with both systems. One of my co workers told me he has gone through 2 PS4s. The first one had a problem with the disc drive. The second one had a problem with the power supply. Another co worker got the Xbox One. He said it plays games fine, but is unable to watch movies on it. I also heard about the DRM issue popping up during a KI tournament. That's a little worrisome.

Yep. No problem with my PS4, either. But that Xbone issue does sound troublesome.

The reports of problems with both systems are massively overhyped mainly because of fanboys of both systems posting fake reviews of the system they dont like.

Yes there have been some issues, but they are nowhere near as widely spread as some would suggest. To my knowledge only one of my friends has an Xbone and he has no issues. Myself and at least 6 or 7 of my friends all own PS4's, and only one has ever had an issue (Sony swapped it out 2 days later and its all been fine since).

 

There will always be teething issues with new consoles, and I can handle the odd glitch here and there as its all part of the game really.

All the games I have play fine as well.

 

There has been nothing as widespread as the classic RROD that plagued the 360, so its a definite step forward this time.

The biggest gripe the PS4 for me has been the fact it was obviously rushed out, so was launched with a lot of features missing that will probably come later with patches, and a launch line up of games that is woefully lacking (hell, I dont even think a single game has been released since the launch line up either).

 

2014 is going to be a big year though with some of the upcoming titles due for release.

Yep supposedly get a new Fallout, considering they stopped their bitching and concentrated on finishing the game, also supposed to be a brand new Hitman in 14, cant wait for that, and I saw on G4, they are even developing an updated version of Nightmare Creatures, anyone remember that game?? fuck I think that might have been on the Nintendo 64, maybe the Playstation, I cant remember, its fucking old though, Im just waiting for that 1st game to come out, thats licensed through Microsoft only, and instigates my purchase of an X-Box One, it happens every time, so Ive just come to accept it, and understand it will occur, interesting to see what game it will be??

Anybody selling an old working system? I haven't been able to afford a console or games in years.

 

Does it gotta be a console? what is your stance on PC Gaming? cause I got shit load of games, Battlefield, Fallout 1 2 New Vegas, I got all the Far Crys, I got S.W.A.T., all the Ghost Recons, and Raven Shields, Hitmans, let me know bro, cause I just made copies of all these games, onto my HD, then stored the originals, I can hook you up.

I came so very close to buying an Xbox One. I haven't bought a new system since the GCN. A new KI was enough for me to drop that kind of money on the system. Once I started digging further into the One I started to have second thoughts. I found out KI is a download only. Not only that it's also incomplete and they are charging full price. To make matters worse their launch lineup has nothing that appeals to me and almost nothing on the horizon. The biggest blow against the system is that it's not ready out of the box. You have to hook it up to a high speed internet connection and download updates before it's even usable. I don't even have high speed internet. I'm currently "borrowing" wifi. What idiot thought that idea up?

 

Those discoveries left me a little down. I then decided to look in a different direction. Why not go handheld? I then took a look at the DS/3DS. The system is more affordable and it caters more towards a person such as myself. I'm thinking I might get Street Fighter and an Atlus rpg or two. It's a thought anyway.

If you're a big RPG fan, then, yeah, Nintendo might be the way to go. But take a look at the PS Vita. It's a powerful system, with a great selection of RPGs. And the PS Store has a lot of PS and PS2 classics on offer, as well.

Its been pretty much like that since the last gen. While the PS3 and 360 were useable out of the box, they still pretty much needed updates straight away.

You cannot have a console without a decent internet connection these days as they are much more like PCs than the days of the PS1/PS2/Xbox etc.

 

Consoles are constantly evolving. The things a PS3 can do now against what it could do at launch are a good example.

And to be fair, if you mean you are "stealing" wifi, then thats hardly Microsofts or Sonys faults.

      Framing the Red / Southern Hard Rock with a dash of sleaze

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think.

      Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:

      Eclipse - Megalomanium ll

      By tts42572 · Posted

      My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums.

      Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
