my brother picked it up at midnight last night. i'm curious to see what he thinks about it. i told him to let me know if it's anything like cod:mw was. that was really his last truly favorite cod as well.

I didn't like black ops 2 single player. I don't see how ghosts is bad..to me all the cod games are similar. You do the same stuff in every one of them.

If the target deal lets you pick any game available I'll pick it up with killzone and AC.

I'm out on Ghosts. I knew it had a chance of sucking but they could have at least got the visuals right.

maybe they should have displayed it at 720p instead of 1080p...

Possibly or the other possibility I was thinking about is they ported over too much of the code and didn't go in and clean it up for optimization purposes. I would assume that the different os and different memory types would require some differences in the game code.

I'm sure they will patch it soon. That's the new norm, deliver now, patch later. Agile framework with less competent developers.

Which is ridiculous for a game that gets the type of hype it does. Although the reviews are pretty average. Didn't Activision claim they were gonna destroy gta5 sales with this game? Lol... With that attitude the game should have been on point when it comes to performance on each system.

Yea my bet is they have duplicate code not being used, no refactoring, unoptimized maps/objects. If it stutters in single player pretty badly then yea they rushed it so it would be available the same week. Oh well they could have delayed it like watchdogs until June lol.

SONY CORP PLANS TO INTRODUCE MONTHLY FEES OF 500 YEN TO 1,000 YEN FOR PLAYING CERTAIN GAMES ON ITS PLAYSTATION 4 CONSOLE - NIKKEI

DJ Sony to Charge Monthly Fees for Multiplayer PS4 Games -Nikkei


12:05 PM (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) Nov 05, 2013
TOKYO (Nikkei)--Sony Corp. (6758.TO) plans to introduce monthly fees of Y500 to Y1,000 for playing certain games on its PlayStation 4 console, which debuts in the U.S. and Europe this month, The Nikkei reported in its Wednesday morning edition.

The company is shifting to a business model geared toward generating profits not only from sales of game hardware and software, but also through a steady stream of income from game services.

Sony will charge fees for games in which two or more online players compete with each other or cooperate to defeat enemies. Such multiplayer games will make up a majority of the slightly more than 30 titles to be launched midmonth in the U.S. and later in Europe.

The monthly charge will be $9.99, or almost Y1,000, in the U.S., and EUR6.99, or slightly more than Y900, in Europe. Sony intends to charge Y500 a month in Japan when the console is released here next February.

Given that multiplayer games are currently free to play on the PlayStation 3, Sony plans to make the PS4 versions more attractive by ramping up social networking functions, such as the ability to chat with fellow players. The firm is also setting the PS4's price at $399, $100 less than the PS3's initial price. Sony aims to quickly sign 20 million contracts for the paid services.

Microsoft Corp. already offers similar social networking capabilities on its Xbox console series.

Not really my little bro had psn+ for over a year before the ps4 said it was needed for gaming online.

Sorry, I meant the PS+ sub available in a monthly format. I thought that up until now, you could only buy PS+ in 3-month or 12-month increments.

you could buy it in 1 month increments for $9.99 a month. At least, from the PSN+ menu in the playstation store.

So you can get psn plus for cheaper right if you go with the 3 or 12 month increments?

I am really considering canceling my preorder. I just don't want to go through the hassell of selling it at this point. I am far more excited about other projects. =(

Anyone want a day one edition that didn't get a preorder in? If you do PM me, I can have it sent to your house on release day if you want to work something out. I won't charge over retail + tax (if there is any on Amazon).

If you don't want it you can just return it to amazon they may even send you a return shipping label. Not sure if you just pay shipping back or not.

I would just cancel my preorder before it hits (probably around Wed. of next week). I just know the release day PS4s are hard to get, and was willing to give a slow noob a chance at a one for retail without fighting the crowds.
