Yes, I get that, I'm just not sure I understand why. The game is already available. You can already pick up a PC for about the same price as a PS4 and play hundreds and hundreds of exclusive titles, including the game you're so anxiously waiting for.
Just seems strange to me is all. |

U smokin crack? Tell me what pc can run ps2 on ultra with $400?
You sir are insane. PS4 will run ps2 on ultra settings as if you had a beastly $1200 pc.
Again sir you must be smokin crack. And I would NEVER spend more than $500 on a laptop or tower pc, becaues I use consoles with controllers and exclusives.
Wow, really? I don't mean to be an ass, but you may want to look into this stuff a bit deeper before burning through hundreds of dollars man.
You actually think that the PS4 is going to be like playing current games on "Ultra" settings? I think you might wanna take another look at the specs for the PS4 and compare it to those of mid-range PCs man. I mean, my PC was only about $600, and would be considered a "Mid-Range" machine, and it's specs are nearly identical to the PS4. I've had this machine for a year or so already and have been playing games at "next gen" quality that whole time. The "high end" stuff that will be commonplace in a few years and is used to pump out "ultra" level quality is lightyears ahead of the PS4.
Now, bear in mind, that doesn't mean the PS4 won't be a decent machine. My PC is great, and like I said, it's neck-and-neck with the "next-gen" consoles, power-wise. Just be careful not to buy into the multi-million dollar hype machine of the consoles man, they're spending gobs and gobs of money to convince you to buy their proprietary all-in-one PCs with their extremely limited games catalogue and limited non-gaming capabilities. Heck, they're even using x86 architecture, they are literally just cheap little gimped "mid-range" PCs without all the software or the ability to upgrade.
Furthermore, the PC has hundreds more exclusives than any console. For every console exclusive, there's 20 PC exclusives man.
Like I said, a $600 PC has the same graphical abilities as the "next gen" consoles, and can be upgraded for a few hundred bucks every 3 or 4 years to get more and more powerful. Once you buy that PS4 you're gonna be stuck with just a handful of games to choose from, and you won't ever get anything more powerful than a mid-grade PC from 2013. 8 years from now you're going to be stuck gaming on a dinosaur again, just like you are right now.
I mean, I understand consoles have a few exclusives that can sometimes make them worth picking up as your only gaming machine if you just happen to be particularly interested in the very small lineup of exclusives that a particular console offers, but I just don't get buying a PS4 before you own a PC... especially when you're so excited about a game that you're making accounts on other game's websites just to talk about how awesome the game will be. It just seems like a real waste of money to me.
Hey, it's your cash, do what you want with it. I just find buying a PS4 at launch when you don't own a PC yet to be a really strange and limiting choice for gaming. It's just clear that you're in such a situation, since you seem excited for a game coming to PS4 that's already out on PC.
The PS4 looks cool, sure, I'll pick one up eventually myself... but if you're that excited about PS2, and you've got the money to spend, why the heck wouldn't you buy the better more powerful system with more games, more customization, and the ability to upgrade the hardware so you're not locked in to old parts for the next decade? Not to mention there's a hell of larger community that's playing PS2 for PC than you can expect on the PS4 for at least the first 3 or 4 years of the console's life. |
