    Can't resist not getting it now ... plus "the man" will finally start taxing internet orders in 2014 so I still have a chance to stiff him on thirty bucks. :P

    Too bad Sony didn't have a PS4 version of Gran Turismo 6 .... although I would be surprised if the PS3 version hit the shelves before 2015.

    If it wasn't for the Kinect, I would be playing the new Forza in a few weeks :x

    I'm also intrigued by the next gen version of Battlefield 4 as it is now similar to the PC version w/ 64 players. I'm not a huge multiplayer fan, but I've enjoyed Battlefield series because if someone is camping in a building, you just blow the building up.

    i don't plan on getting a next gen console for a little bit so maybe my opinion of BF4 will change when that time comes, but doesn't look like they changed anything from BF3.

    i've posted my love and/or fanboy-ness for the BF franchise several times in this thread, but it looks like they are just setting us up for disappointment with BF4. i didn't even download the beta.

    on the next gen i am sure the visuals will be stunning and pure eye candy. but seems like the BF franchise has feel into the same repetitiveness that the COD franchise fell in years ago.

    hope i'm wrong!

    I have not played since Bad Company 2 so I'm hoping it will be refreshing for me. Looks like the environments on the maps will change throughout the fight. I loved that on Twisted Metal 2.

    Plus the have a small map where you can learn to use the vehicles ... I could never use any aircraft in past games because I would be shot down or nosedive into a mountain in about 10 seconds.

    It's insane that Star Wars Battlefront never emerged on the current gen console. That game would make an insane amount of money.

    Well there is one coming in 2015, likely for the upcoming generation. Guess they could make them come out on the old gen as well.


    Also just beat Bioshock Infinite. Great game!

    Star Wars 1313 looked awesome but it's now dead along with Lucasarts. I thought they were doing Battlefront but it looks like DICE is in charge. Sucks to wait that long but they should have times to harness the next gen by then.

    Sadly, I had to cancel my PS4 pre order as well.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I'm not concerned with pre-orders. Pretty sure I'll be able to find one in the first week around here if I wanted to. Hell, I've never pre-ordered anything and haven't had problems.
    I tell myself that I'm going to wait, but I'm also very impulsive...soooooo... :lol:

    My PS4 extra controller arrived tonight from Amazon. Initial impressions ...

    Not much bigger then the PS3 controller, at least as I was expecting via photos ... Handles are much thicker and have a much better and natural feel akin to the 360. It fits in your hand naturally

    It's a little more heavier then the PS3 but lighter then the 360 ... A good weight in my opinion

    Triggers feel great. Not as wide as the 360 but should be great

    The D-pad is awesome. Great click and response feel

    The right hand buttons also feel great and responsive

    The touch pad is easy to reach and clicks for another output.

    The axis pads are in the same location as the PS3 controller. It may be that I'm used to the Xbox layout, but my only complaint is that I would like them to change the D-pad and the left axis controller around. Overall, it is a much improved controller compared to the PS3 and will be a winner in the long run.

    I officially turfed my launch preorder for PS4.

    between GTA V and Rocksmith 2014... and well as NCAA 2014 and Madden, I have plenty to keep me busy.

    Yeah that was one of the factors that made it easier not to jump on the new consoles for me too. Not the same games, but just lots to play in general...

    Im a little surprised at GTa V... im about 33% done and I feel like I havent done shit.
    There was one cool heist mission, but it seems like the game is still only getting started. Missions and side quests are kinda boring so far... Trevor is fun though.

    That percentage can be a bit misleading. I've stuck to mostly the storyline, played a long-ass time (story seems to be wrapping up) and my percentage is 40-50% or so. I believe had I done more side-stories, etc. that number would be much higher.

    I'm pretty sure I won't be getting one until early next year. Yeah, there are some games coming out for it that I'd like to play, but I have too many games on current-gen to still play through.
    I really wish next gen was backwards compatible. I know MS and Sony make more money by not allowing this and it will never happen again...but I'd like like to be able to have one box sitting under my TV. Don't like the clutter! :lol:
