So I thought once I bought my PS4 I'd be home free with my gaming. I wouldn't have to rely on my PS3, which occasionally decides to destroy my TV and I'd be able to play some awesome next gen games.
But with the current line up of games, as you know, I've either completed all the games or I'm not interested. But with the Playstation Plus account that it requires I've been given a dozen really awesome games for the PS3 completely free.
And these aren't crappy or indie games. We're talking about full AAA titles. Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Uncharted 3, XCOM, Tombraider to name a few. Not to mention that for very little money I bought NinoKuni and Okami. Hell even awesome games like Deus Ex: Human revolution can be attained for as little as £9.
It's made me think that I need a new PS3. Why not use my current PS3, you might say. And you'd have a valid point, except my PS3 is only a 40gb console and games on the PS3 require that you have twice the space whenever you want to install a game. most games that's fine; I just wipe the console and start from scratch every game, but there are some like Nino Kuni that are 20gb on their own, so in order to install you require 40gb.
this is because they need to download the 20gb install package and then put it somewhere before deleting it. it doesn't need to keep 40gb, but it needs it to install.
plus the whole 'seems to be destroying my tv' thing makes me want to aswell.
Ah well I'm sure I'll get one at some point. I just thought I'd talk about it.
Looking forward to Infamous second son next week.

PS4 review
So I've had a PS4 for a month now and since I'm a nerd/gamer/geek I figured I'd give you my opinions.
First of all I'd like to say that it's a great console. It feels nice, the controller is a big step up from the PS3 controller, the graphics look amazing, the new operating system is really smooth and intuitive. It's a really nice addition to my gaming systems and I have spent a lot of time using it, that being said, it's not really worth it.
That probably doesn't make sense, huh? Well let me explain; Most of the games are on the PS3 as well. Assassins Creed, Battlefield 4, Injustice; Gods Among us, Call of Duty, the only games that aren't on the PS3 currently are Knack and Killzone (I guess you could count Resogun, but... I don't?)
In the future there will be a lot more, sure, we have The Order: 1886, Infamous: Second Son, Drive Club, Uncharted, all look to be good games, but right now the PS4 is running on potential. It has a lot of it, but it hasn't realised it yet (and probably wont for a while).
The games I got for it were Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Battlefield 4, Injustice: gods among us Ultimate Edition, and Killzone.
I absolutely loved assassin's creed. It was amazing, but it was also on the PS3. I could easily have continued to use the PS3 for it and it would have been cheaper. The graphics were only marginally better, the gameplay wasn't changed at all and I didn't get anything extra by getting it on the PS4 (except a higher bill).
Battlefield is a solid shooter. I mostly play online which I admit does have it's benefits for the PS4. Playing on the PS4 doubles the number of players in a match compared to the PS3 and - considering the size of the maps - that makes a huge difference. On the PS3 you could spend an entire match without seeing a single enemy if you tried.
The only tangible difference between Injustice on the PS4 and the PS3 is that in story sections you are asked to swipe the touch pad for certain sequences, instead of using the analogue stick. otherwise its the same game with marginal difference in graphics.
As for Killzone... it's beautiful, there's no denying that, but I haven't played much. I got a little way into it (literally the first firefight) and haven't touched it since. It's not a bad game I've just been more interested in other things.
So in my opinion, like all new consoles the PS4 isn't really worth getting yet. It's a good piece of kit that is filled with potential, but until more games come out for it and more developers learn how to handle the kit you're better off buying a PS3 or an xbox-360.
I'm glad I have one, but if I didn't it probably wouldn't matter.
