PS4 developers tell us what makes the system stand out

Ive pre-ordered the PS4 but the new shadow of the beast does not look like having any gameplay that feels SOFTB but who knows I might give it a try

I buy the PS4 mostly because I enjoy RPG's on a gamepad in my sofa on my big TV. My main Workstation is a high-end PC and I play some on it also, but I myself do not care much for graphics as long as there is good gameplay so I don't mind to play the same game on PC and console even tho the PC version is superior in graphics.

Even tho it's possible to play with a gamepad on PC the game menus/invetory etc are not made for a gamepad and controlling a mouse with a thumb stick is nothing I enjoy, so consoles and PC has use for me.

We are now in the situation of NES vs Amiga 1000. What kind of idiot would buy an NES instead of an Amiga 500 in 1988 before the Sega 16bit consoles....hmmm....I see your point....in the US they will be a massive success I guess if history repeats itself LOL

In Sweden NES was super common, A500s also but younglings had a NES and the little older kids had A500s.

Most kids got a NES at birthdays/x-mas since they were easier to use for the Young ones, no loading times and no switching mouse/joysick etc.

Also cartridges was easier to handle then floppies for kids.

But looking at people at ages 12-30 everyone had a A500 Atari ST was not to common here, I knew no one who had an Atari ST.
Later when SNES came out the poorer people bought used NES.

(This is how it was where I lived back then).
