Next Gen
The PS4 and Xbone are here at last!
Unfortunately for most of us, the new consoles are either not on the market, or the games aren’t impressive enough to warrant a purchase. One of those consoles will sexually harass you with tiny robots, and one of them has millions of micro transactions! That other console just catching dust right now needs more games now than ever and they’re slowly getting off to a good start after months upon months of no new releases!
Isn’t the next generation of gaming just glorious?! I think I’ll stick to the PC until something catches my eyes, thank you very much!

Handbook of Dairy Foods and Nutrition, Third Edition…

Joe you have to review back the DmC: Devil May Cry game on the next-gen consoles. And give a new feedback on a game that now runs on 60fps.
This is such an excellent resource that you are offering and also you give it away at no cost. I enjoy seeing internet sites that comprehend the worth of supplying a prime resource at no cost. I really loved studying your post. Thanks!
You ought to really control the responses on this site
well hello Joe, greetings from Croatia…
Xbox one finally arrived over here about three months ago,but only two stores sell it…n guess what? the price of xbox one in Croatia is 780 dollars…but thats not all- play station 4 is selling for 600 dollars.
I’ve been gamer most of my life and have been looking forward for both of them to come out…was upset when the whole drm “thing” was announced, but when i heard they changed their mind i was happy…yeah then they didn’t start selling it right away over here…i said ok, fine i could wait few months no big deal…then WHAM! a slap on the face-heres the console gimme 800 bucks…hate the price for both of the consoles…all i can do i wait and pray for the price to drop-maybe…
Personally i Preordered assassins reed unity for xbox one because my pc will not be able to handle assassins creed and i doubt it ever will. I will probably only get the xbox one for assassins creed and halo. But the fat of having to download all my games is just so damn ridiculous if you ask me
creed*, sorry my keyboard is edgy
3edgy5me
I mean I you have enough money for a Xbox one then. I would just use that money instead to get a better pc or graphics card
*if*
agreed this is the worst lauch in gaming history i think not one single game i wanted on xbox one or ps4 so lame
Bah, If I had to choose one thing that plays games and is worth more than $200 I think I’d pick a 3DS XL. It looks like it has games with lots of hours of gameplay and it’s portable; as long as it’s not tethered to a wall by a charger.
Fantastic read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing a little study on that. And he really bought me lunch because I located it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
like wise I reckon I’ll wait a year or maybe 18 months for something special to come along. Right now I have both the 360 (not turned on in over a year or more!) and the ps3, mainly used as a media machine until GTA5 game along. Just waiting on the last of us to be delivered as well!
Joe which console do you think is better
Someone ought to buy Joe a Wii U just so we can see his reaction to the system and the games. Whether he would like it or not, I think most of the entertainment would come from Joe looking at it askance, the one part of gaming he has never touched.
Silly Joe.
To be fair, buying a console at launch has never been a good decision. Lack of interesting games, failure rates, etc. I’m personally going to buy a PS4 when Infamous Second Son comes out, Killzone, Knack, and Resogun are interesting imo, but not enough to justify a console purchase.
I never knew what was the name of that wolf

I agree 110%. What’s your thoughts on the continued quantative easing programme? How long can it last?
Learn to write u retard.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who feels this way. I couldn’t fathom why my friends were clamoring to buy these systems. I just don’t see anything in their libraries currently that scream at me. Nothing so far that kinda establishes that we are in a new generation of console games. It’s not like the days when I moved on from my snes/genesis and popped in wipeout for the original playstation. I was awed because it really felt like a step into a new era. Right now it’s just the same ole same ole with slightly cleaner graphics in some cases. I’ll hold off until we get a game that really shows us what these systems can do. Until then, will probably just upgrade my pc and wait for EQ next.
What i find so funny about these “new” consoles is that their graphic card are so last year or so.
PS4 is using a ATI AMD 7850 card and the XBOX 1 is using a ATI AMD 7790 card. WOW way ahead of the PC right now. NOT.
Too bad they wouldn’t allowed any upgrade capability to their consoles. Either in their CPU nor the GPU section. Bummer.
Let me start off by saying that I play games on my PC and wouldn’t ever trade it for one of the new consoles, and I don’t plan on buying one anytime soon. However, consoles that are upgradable in general don’t make sense. The Xbox One and PS4 are static targets that developers can aim for when developing games and they can be guaranteed that each and every system has the same hardware. Therefore, they can program games to use every last bit of the hardware whereas PC games have to use high level api’s such as DirectX or OpenGL. Neither of these is nearly as efficient as low level api’s. So, while the PS4 may have the equivalent of a 7850 and the Xbox one may have the equivalent of a 7790, once games that are optimized correctly start to appear on the consoles, they will be able to outpace PC’s of a similar spec. Things like AMD’s Mantle might change the gap in efficiency going forward, but developers will still have to account for the variability.
That’s not really all that surprising. A product this size (sales-wise) would likely go through different phases of development. They likely picked the graphics card in an earlier phase.
you are my favorite youtube personality and I can tell you are a true gamer at heart. the in depth reviews really blow my mind every time I see one. keep up the good work man your videos and just your whole take on gaming in general has changed my life
I agree, Phil. While I am planning to get a PS4 soon (XBox One will be so much sooner), I barely see any games worthy to get right now. There are PS4 games that I like to get, but they are going to be released much later. There are even games that I like to get, but are only going to be released on the PS3 (Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, Tales of Xillia 2, Dark Souls II, Blazblue: Chrono Phantasma, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix, Persona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold, Persona 5, and maybe South Park: The Stick of Truth), which is sad in my opinion. The Wii U, on the other hand, is doing well with some games that I enjoy so much, especially Super Mario 3D World. Nintendo knows what they are doing (for the most part). I do not regret getting a Wii U, but I will get a PS4 someday.
Nice comic Joe. I hope you get the chance to review some Nintendo games as well. I’d really like to hear your opinion both on the console and the 1st party games.
Right now Xbox and Playstation seem to lack really good exclusives but I keep my hopes up. Btw are you going to review movies? I’d like to see your opinion on Riddick -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5XCoUr8Dew
Unfortunately, I feel the same. There isn’t anything on the next gen consoles to push me into buying it. I’ll be buying a ps4 for sure, but no real reason to rush out and get it. Oh well. My gamestop, Walmart and target doesn’t have any anyways XD. Besides, I’m still waiting on the new “Lords Of Shadow”.
Just bought Gran Turismo 6. Couldn’t care less about the next gen, it was always about the games and so far they got nothing worth to get me buy anything new.
Once there will be a new Final Fantasy or Dynasty Warriors I wouldn’t hesitate. But now not even close.
off all games your waitibg fo dybasty warriors really? i dont get why some many people like it… no offence
DW is ok, Orrochi warrior was better, just the scope of killing as many peons as you can pretty much :3
Dynasty Warriors is a snack food game, it makes you feel good as you slaughter thousands of tiny peons with big devastating attacks, flashy visuals, and an over the top story. Since this is something I’d consider a snack food game, people are addicted to these sorts of games and go to them to just have loads of fun.
It’s not a really good game, but you can have fun with it in short bursts.
‘It’s not a really good game’
That’s entirely subjective. I enjoy it, and I’ve been gripped by the characters and the story. It’s what keeps me coming back.
You’re a furry artist, not a professional game critic.
So true, so very true…can’t wait for X to come out
I’m gonna wait till spring or summer, which is likely when people can start buying them at the stores on a whim. I really would buy a ps4 right now but I dont like ordering things like that, I rather be able to buy it at the store physically. A shame neither consoles have any good games at all, dont care what ign or gamespot are paid to give the score of a certain if they are that is but I bet they arer, none of the games are next gen at all.
Exactly what Davidson said. I really don’t feel that any of the games are “next-gen”. When I saw videos of PS3/360 games when all I had that current gen was PS2 and Gamecube, I freaked. I was mind blown by how amazing the games looked compared to what I was still playing on. I look at games on my PS3 and then the ones on PS4 and it just looks like the games got a facelift. Same games with a better coat of paint. It looks even less impressive since I built a PC (not to sound like a PC glorious master race guy but it’s true lol). Until I start seeing some “real” next-gen mind blowing technology then I’m not interested.
Throw pretty graphics at games all you want, I’m waiting for actual next-gen gameplay improvements and not just graphical ones.
Like i said in the Killzone Shadowfall Review. The Next-Gen doesn’t allow or hinder the creation of good games, the lack of creativity, foresight and/or greed from Dev’s is what makes bad games, not the console. In fact! The “best” system to play games on is the PC, no argument, but what’s the difference other than graphics and higher frame rate? The difference is it allows crap like WarZ and cow clickers…Woo…Other than idiots that buy games like WarZ and stay home moms, everyone agree’s that those types of games are aweful.
Well, I am a Nintendo Fan… pretty die hard… since the end of SNES . I found out that I might NOT be a real Nintendo fan, though.
I thought I love Zelda games… turned out that I only loved the N64 Zeldas and Windwaker… and the REAL Zelda Fan is supposed to love Link to the Past (which I don’t). 2D Marios where okay, and I liked Super Mario World a lot… all the New Super Mario Bros. on the other hand…. meh… Most favourite: Mario 64.. Next up Metroid.. really liked the Prime games (my first encounter with samus) but then I played the old ones… turns out these where among the best games I ever played.
And now. Do I own a Wii U (after owning all Nintendo Home Consoles since 1995)… well, I will get one now… but still no game that might justify this purchase.. Nintendo where art thou?
This Gen consoles? Well, I had a first with a cheap Xbox 360 about 3 years ago… still hold an immature grudge against Sony.. but I think when the time comes, it’ll be the PS4. I don’t care about TV anymore.
Lol, I’m not surprised at this, its always been a rule of thumb for me and my brother to wait 1 year before getting the new consoles, since by then the bugs are mostly fixed and the good games are coming out as well. The Wii U looks like its finally picking up with the new Mario games. To me right now I’d gladly buy a Wii U, but for a Xbox 1 and PS4 I need to see better games to make the purchase.
For now I’ll stay with my PC and get a Wii U this Christmas.
The Xbox One looks good, but until it gets more games I can’t really justify purchasing one.
I agree. I think I will stick with my x360, wii, ps3, and most importantly pc thanks
Who in the world has a Wii-u…?
Even die hard nintendo fans admit…
I do and I play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on it all the time, that game is amazing!
I got a Wii U back on Launch Day, and although there are periods when I don’t touch it; at the moment I am addicted to the new Mario game.
Can’t help but agree, despite being new next generation the current games leave much to be desired. I was completely shocked with the amount of micro transactions on the X-box releases. I mean $60 for the game then another $60 for the Lamborghini in forza. Not to mention another game so mediocre that the other parts that would make it interesting also required purchase.
Sorry to say, but if that’s the future of console gaming then I am out. They can suffer the same game crash with Atari. Greed will only get you so far before you fail.
You are talking about the same company that had the gall to release a £300 machine with a massive hardware fault and refused to fix it, that are the creators of the Kinect…AND started the trend of subscription fee’s for online play on consoles. You can’t possibly be that surprised, right? o_o;…
I’m also in the same boat as Martin, as a PC gamer there really isn’t much point in purchasing the new consoles right now. They have their extra ways to interact with the games, such as the Kinect etc. But the games aren’t there to back it up (Just yet) But the PS4 seems to be the way forward IMO. It has that extra power that’s going to be required in the later life of the console. XBOX and PS3 had such a long life span because in it’s earlier life, it wasn’t able to be used to it’s full potential, and we gradually made better looking games to use it’s full power. The same goes for these consoles and the PS4 has the extra kick which will make it come out on top in the end. That’s just my prediction though 😀
Exactly how I feel about the next gen. I built my PC in August and I don’t have much reason to get a next gen console. I’m probably going to get a PS4 eventually, but I’m waiting for more exclusives to come out. Games like Uncharted, Kingdom Hearts 3, and etc will warrant the purchase for me. But as of now I’m going to stick to PC.
