So who's buying a PS4 then? :)

[rich]

That was quite a 2 hour set of announcements for sure - anyone else watch it?

 

The 'share' button is a nice idea, the use of Gaikai too. The game demos were mostly 'meh', insanely pretty but the same old same old re: game play.

[benny!]

Game consoles are so yesterday    - well ... maybe not know ;-)

 

Hmmm ... not sure - I missed the announcement tbh. After owning a PS1 I switched to M$ Xbox and so far I do not regret it. Maybe I stick with M$ with the next console generation.

I really like that it's x86, and overall a very simple architecture. But I have no plans to get one. Honestly the console I'm most excited about is the OUYA, so that shows where I tend to do my gaming these days

[old]

I am also looking forward for OUYA but maybe buy a PS4, it's a shame I did not buy the PS3 though

I had bought a 360 long ago and i hardly use it. Games on Pc are far better than on consoles

PS4 = Supports Indie

Xbox One = Tv, Tv, Tv, Sports, Call of Duty, Tv, does not support indie.

Ouya = "Indie" but quite weak.

 

I'll go with PS4 for the sake of it.

Isn't Xbox more open to indies? (for the 360 I mean)

 

I'm not a M$ fan at all, I've always prefered Playstations, but I think they're better on this field for the moment.

Wii U will soon accept HTML5 games, according to Nintendo. But I don't think it's really interesting, regarding to the public (they often only buy Nintendo AAA titles) and the Wii U sales.

For the PS4, I don't think I'll buy it for its release, I almost stopped playing video games since I did game design studies (ironic, I know) because it's very time consuming. Maybe few years after the release, why not.

[sandy234]

I think all consoles have built in browsers so all of them can play HTML5 games i think.

But generally consoles ppl will play console games and not browser based games as most consider that to be crap games.

PS and Xbox are mad to not have any focus on indie games! Are they not seeing the growing trend of players playing great, smaller, indie games?

[Secretmapper]

I expect PS4 to be as inviting to indies as every other PS console has been to date: not very.

 

The fact that XboxOne does not allow self-publishing already made MS look bad to a lot of developers, pushing devs to go to PS4 which seems to embrace them.

 

Update: Today, I just read that XboxOne is coming in clear and says it will support indie, most probably because of devs' disappointments. It still does not allow self publishing though.

 

When I started dev, I also have not played much games, but I find Indie games to be fun (they tend to be "more different")

[sandy234]

Well if they allow self publishing it will be filled with crap games and copyrighted stuff

[remvst]

Well if they allow self publishing it will be filled with crap games and copyrighted stuff

I don't see the link between those two, but self publishing is probably a bit more complex than just filling a form.

hi everyone,

 

so after im sure to not get an XboxOne, i will watch how the PS4 will develope in the first six months and then maybe decide to buy one. also if the WiiU get some games i really want i might buy one too.

for example Mario-series, Rune Factory, Harvest Moon and some RPGs are on my list so it will be a race between PS4 and WiiU to get my attention

 

the most interesting beside the mainstream consoles, are the Ouya and the android-stick consoles, cause they might provide a minor goldrush for the early developers
