Poll: What do you want the PS4 / Xbox 720 to be like ?

[KaiRai]

PS: I know this may sound hypocritical because of what I just said, but anyone think that games are becoming too realistic, I mean like little kids play violent shooters already, further graphics upgrades and immersion may not be the best thing.

Indeed, like that stab/choke movement for Manhunt on the Wii. Monkey see monkey do, but they are called monkeys for a reason. And Microsoft and the other sluggers are in it for the money, not really helping the cashflow to please the few. By that I mean people want upgraded graphics and such, something the developers always have in mind.

I don't think graphics have to go any further, I mean look at Gran Turismo 5, I put up a comparison and my friend wouldn't see the difference if i had put the box away, he was flabergasted. I was astounded by those graphics. Truthfully i don't think graphics matter all that much, look at the orange box, thats like a 5 year old game or something and yet i still play it because it was so fun.

Agreed, I've been playing RE3 of all games. Pixelated fire is LOL but it's still fun

(Except Nemesis showing up every 10 minutes and causing several re-loads)

Backwards compatibilty across all generations of the console, not just the last one. i.e. PS4 runs PS1, PS2, PS3, and have compatible features with PSP too.

Backwards compatibilty a feature only on the whole range, not just the most expensive version of said system.

Memory and storage devices are compatible with standard desktop PC and Laptops, so if we want to transfer data we merely plug them into the PC.

Built in wireless (like PS3) with free browser system. Not that you really need it when you have a perfectly good PC but hey...

Feeless multiplayer servers. This might sound petty but frankly I don't want to pay a fee to MS or Sony for running servers for games if I could do it myself. If I play Halo on my PC I can setup a server for private or public play and all I am paying is my internet fee. Patches? Free. I don't understand why I should have to pay XBox live fees to play multiplayer when PC users can do it for free.

More variety in games... The market is starting to stagnate a bit with Generic shooters and cookie cutter sports games...

More personalisation in games. As loathed as I am of wrestling titles at least you can add your own music. Have more games with modable content on consoles, and get developers releasing the SDK's for them.

 

[necromanzer52]

There's no option for "I don't know yet" or "More than one." You assume we're all fanboys that only choose one console or PC.

Are you saying we're not?

 

[Kajt]

I want them to be orange.
Yupp, orange.

 

[Spirultima]

Well when i hit 40 I'll get the PS4, I've always wondered how they would do Virtual Reality...

Plus 720? well if its twice as much as the 360, prepare for half the in it takes to break

 

[Chaosut]

I'm voting for an option that's not on the list... 'I'll be too cheap arse to buy either when the time comes, so i don't really care.'

 

[jimduckie]

affordable for all , and actually make games people want ,no crap games, and have all the little add on parts included with the system , and yeah backwards compatible , and no more defective consoles

 

[Slash Dementia]

I'd like to see the next Xbox support all original and Xbox 360 games, free DLC and Xbox Live, it must have a life-time warranty as well.

Also, no loading times.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

I'd want something like th PS3, but cheaper and with more games (along with the standard upgrades between console generations).

 

[Bumcheek]

and if this natal comes out, i bet it'd be abt 1000$ +

 

[Mirroga]

I want both to be released in the year 2015. Its fucking too early.

 

[Lexodus]

I will buy the console I think has the best to offer in terms of games and online services primarily. I don't want to see cloud gaming or a total shift to digital distribution. I love having an actual game, box and manual.

So here is what I want and dont want nicely ordered

Do Want
- Loads of gaming options
- More RPGs
- Improved D-Pad (360 gripe)
- Cool interface/dashboard with lots of skinning options and choices
- Emphasis on huge numbers of gamers in a single game (say 100+ in FPSs or 20 Drivers in Racing games)
- More single player experiences
- More freebies (everyone loves freebies)
- Tournaments and Gamer TV (Streamed from dash of online games)
- Better options with Friends lists
- Much improved Dash speed (Xbox 360 gripe, dunno bout PS3 or wii)
- Friend or Gamer search for gamers with similar interests in gaming as you
- Fully Backwardly compatible with all previous consoles
- Improved reliability and quieter overall.
- Small and sleek console
- Shift to solid state media (Disk drive for backward compatibility and DVD/Blu-Ray playback)
- Huge internal HDD with option to expand externally
- Media player in-built with ability to play a wide variety of media types.

Do Not Want
- More FPSs
- Total shift to novelty controllers
- More QTE
- Cloud Gaming and shift to digital only distribution (even if its only on "Key" games)

All of that is true, but i would like to see cross-system online play allowing a PS3 guy to play with a 360 guy (AND A WII GUY- Ed), that would be nice. AND LESS EXCLUSIVES, get a console for its quality, not its amount of exclusives.

All of this.

 

[Crimsane]

Want:
Simple, easy to use, comfortable controller.
Affordable price. ($300-400 at launch, maaaaybe $500 but that's pushing it)
Backwards compatibility.
Enough games at launch to justify purchase.
No load times.
Reliability/stability from launch onward, not a year or more after launch.

Don't Want:
Too much concentration on niche/gimmick gadgets and technology. (Motion sensors, etc)
Wallet rape with too many accessories, the purchase of which is essentially necessary to fully enjoy your system.

 

[Drakulla]

Both consoles should have large enough hard drive space.

 

[Sharpeye42]

since playstation has reached the highest graphics(for now) they should work on better gameplay.

 

[hagaya]

Wheres pc gaming in your poll? *shakes head*

PC gaming doesn't need to be in the poll; the PC has, is, and will always be the best. Just no question.

 

[GeoPB]

I would want the next xbox never to break. And Sony don't need to change the formula much, the PS3 is actually really good.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I'd want the same old control formats. I mean the Wii and Natal are and will be fun but come on I just wanna play games
