Should I Upgrade?

[D9fred95]

I mean can I use my PSN account on PS3 to play PS3 games online (Burnout Paradise Onlin is the most fun thing known to man) as well as GTAO on PS4?

 

I checked about the backwards compatibility. You can't use any PS3 games you currently own. But if you use the Playstation Now service, there are several PS3 games you can get for your PS4 (Burnout Paradise isn't one of them). Here's a list of them all.

I think you will spend money on a new console at some point in future anyways.

So, if you have already experienced GTA V on last gen and you're not interested in Online then no point in buying another copy of this game for the NG. This year there are far..far ..faaar better titles coming out. If I was you, I wouldn't waste my money on this game again because there are only vehicles and some missions ( mostly boring ) along with better graphics as UPGRADE. I don't find anything interesting about NG since these items as upgrades really don't add more replay factor except for graphics and FPV.

The only thing worth mentioning is the Director Mode, that's it.

That yacht though...

Saint's Row 2 on PS4?

YES!!!

[POWER TRIPPING STAFF]

In the year 2016 ps3 sounds pretty retro to me

 

Btw you should be able to transfer your account to ps4 but that doesnt mean that you will have access to your old psn/ps3 games

 

The psn on ps4 is considerably smaller than the ps3 one in everything, plus the fact they dont seem to care much to upgrade it significantly...so knows the good stuff and the bad before you get into it

 

Ps4 interface and updates are a bit awkward

And as far as backward compatibility i dont recall it having any from ps3 since they barely made ps2 games available lately

 

 

 

PS now service is a whole another thing in its own...and its fairly overpriced IMO

Yes you will still be able to play your ps3 online

To play online on PS4 you will be required to own a PSN Plus membership for about 50U$ a year

To play Ps3 games on Ps4 you will be required to own a PS Now membership for about more 100U$ per year (last time i checked)

[Shadowfennekin]

It is worth it. Even if you don't play Online, you get occasional new stuff, returning player bonuses, AND SP DLC if it ever comes out.... seeing as the LG consoles are dead to R*

You should've upgraded around Christmas time, would've been a lot cheaper. But overpay, Microsoft or Sony will love you for it.

Yeah there was even a sale on the PC version on Steam, over the holidays. I think V on Steam was $35.99, but is now back to full price.

As a general rule, I only play Train Simulator and Mini Metro on my PC. If I can get a game on a console, I'll buy it even if it is available on PC...

I actually prefer PC because of the mods and other advantages, but nothing wrong with liking console gaming better. It has its advantages as well.

If you don't have one get a PC stay away from the toy's you can do soooo much more with the PC version.

Yes i LOVE looking for fixs for hours to play games i could just play on a console in minutes, lets all just pretend PC gaming is perfect shall we?

I game on both PC and Console, no one can doubt the power and flexibility of the PC, but sometimes i just want to play a game without hassle

This is why I game on consoles and PC's. Because PC's, as awesome as they are, as much as the graphics can be much better, you can use mods, and have other advantages, when sh*t goes wrong, it can be a nightmare of trying to figure out where the compatibility issue or other problem lies. And sometimes this can happen on the best PC's. I have had problems with games my PC's should utterly demolish in terms of specs, and there have been times it took me hours to get a game working.

 

Plus, PC's are an investment. PC gaming really is an enthusiast hobby. And a costly one as well. Which is fine. Nobody will ever talk me out of gaming on PC's! But as I said, consoles have their advantages as well.

[ClaudeSpeed1911]

If you still think the game is still fun then yes its worth it because of the Director mode, being able to play as animals, FP mode and the new weapons and vehicles.

 

The game is still fun even if people see me criticize it but It could be so much more if R* just listened to the Story mode fans and made a story mode dlc because it still has potential even if some of the mechanics are worse than they should be.

Can't argue with this. I am quite surprised Rockstar hasn't yet milked the SP DLC market. Its a shame, but maybe they feel there is no money in it compared to Online? That's the only thing I can figureTwo ways rockstar can make a ton of money through SP DLC.

-Add casino and the nightclub-

-The big one. Add LC/NY-

 

I don't know if LC is a realistic expectation. I wouldn't mind it, of course, but if they are going to add anything in terms of more "real estate" with associated missions, I would expect them to keep it in San Andreas and add Fierro and Venturras.

But why spend that much money and effort into making a new map just for a DLC when you could save it for a new game. The only reason why I believe that we will get LC as a DLC is because I feel like rockstar won't be visiting it in a new game anytime soon.

Two ways rockstar can make a ton of money through SP DLC.

-Add casino and the nightclub-

-The big one. Add LC/NY-

I hope it isn't in a game any time soon. I want Vice City now!
