Scott Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This is the sole reason I havent picked up a PS4 yet, apparently its coming in a firmware update but why was it not included in the first place, its supposed to be a media centre for the home isnt it I'm exactly the same. That and backwards in-compatability is putting me off. I still enjoy the odd game on the PS3 as it stands so I would probably miss it. Having to re-stock all the games that I like would be costly.

wile e coyote Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Exactly why I've not gone for a new ps4 Think Sony has dropped the ball there as I know loads people not changed because of the backwards incompatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 PS4 will rush out a patch to keep up like they did with 3d. I got last of us for the ps4.....Its amazing. Other than that im still playing wii u mario kart. I dont see any reason to buy a ps4 or a Xbone yet. I only got one as it was offered with a phone upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Looks awesome. Will be a definite purchase. It's nice to see all the above was in-game footage, as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Got hold of Destiny for Xbox one last night I must say I am impressed for once. Might get this later, what is the single player mode like, I am a bit worried as an occasional gamer that if I am not playing it online all the time it will be another waste of money Pre ordered my copy of Forza Horizon already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Destiny is online only rog, even the single player mode. It's brilliant the way it's been done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaw Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Really enjoying Destiny so far, like the way it's laid out and had a good time with multiplayer as well. By the looks of it, Forza is a must buy as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heedthebaw Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I've only played a couple of modes but pretty sure it's just Person to Person combat, no vehicles. Could be wrong though or maybe it'll be introduced in DLC in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Heard mixed things about Destiny. On the one hand people are saying its amazing, on the other it's too open and sparse and not a huge amount of non linear stuff happens.

To be honest, I think a lot of reviewers are being a bit too harsh on it. Its still a laugh if you play with your mates though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd_t Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 im enjoying Destiny, the story mode is pretty good once you get a few levels in, multiplayer is a bit weak so far (especially after playing Titan Fall) can't find anything new and amazing in Destiny though that hasnt been done before, but still worth it. Bring on FH2, can't wait for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Just took delivery of my xbox one yey! updates for destiny now in progress, do you guys know how long does the game content transfer take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 im on a 3mb line at home it took over night for me! if you have fibre, you'll be fine. good news is that you dont have to wait for it all to download before you can start playing due to some wizzy magic thing the xbox does, it'll download the core stuff and first few maps etc then let you play whilst the others download.

Rich.2211 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 So guys.. having only scan read some of the thread.. what are your opinions now the consoles have been released a little while? I'm tempted to pick up one in the next week or so but can't decide whether to go PS4 or XBOX One (I haven't owned a console of any description for a good few years now). The new Forza game looks good but not sure it's a deal breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
