PS4 Launch Hype Reel

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

Here is your sizzle reel from Sony a few weeks before launch. I think its interesting that PS4's exclusive content is actually timed exclusive for 6 months on blockbuster titles. I wonder if it will be released on X1 for free via patch, or will it be some $3 DLC.

Impressive. Now that we know those are timed exclusives for Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed, I'm eagerly waiting to hear that Titanfall is a timed exclusive for Xbox One. *hopes*

EA loves money... its going to happen lol. If it wasn't bound to EA or Activision I wouldn't have any hope, but it is. I'd say its a year exclusive.

SSD is a huge difference. Eppy has one in his laptop.. He impressed the hell out of me with that. There is basically no loading time because there is no internal disk spinning around collecting information.. He hit the power button and within seconds the entire operating system and applications were all loaded and ready.

Thats awesome... just not $500 awesome for a console upgrade... i can deal with a little spinning. lol. Althought I might buy an SSD just for battlefield. I'm sure its gonna be 250GB of DLC over the span of a year.

Installing and loading games on an SSD would be much faster. But the cost for size is still way too high. I'm surprised the PS4 doesn't come with a 1TB drive considering how big some games will get. We'll be lucky to have 10 games installed at a time. SSD of the same size would probably work good for downloading and playing on the fly though. I'm wondering if a SSD would give someone an advantage on a host based game like COD. If their computer was host and it would literally load everything faster than the other systems could, that brief second could attribute to a lot of potential lag kills. I don't know if that would be the case or not, but its got me thinking.

 

I'm glad multiplayer games will all be server based so people shouldn't be able to get an advantage like that.

I'm thinking 12-14 games. Its basically the same as Xbox 360's launch 20 gig HD. You might get 3-5 super popular games with its seasons pass DLC. However there are also rumors that these 40+ gig installs are only temporary cache, which is why PS4 allows playing before a complete install. This would make sense storage wise.. but having to wait 3-5 minutes to start up a game would be pretty annoying. I'm guessing its optional to install or temp cache it.
