Yea...I'm trying to wrap Killzone up...have three chapters left so to trade that in. I would with Knack but a certain almost 7yr old still loves playing it. Infamous...If I get done with the "Evil" part I'll probably do it. I have three games on my list in the next two months...Wolfenstein, Watch Dogs and Last of Us.

Ugh, the thing that pisses me off most about Knack is for every level 5-4 you have that hints at inspiration, you have 12 uninspired levels. Don't know where the initial complaints of difficulty came from thus far, pretty easy game on Normal.

Oh well, anyway some games need to come out

If it comes with own trophy set like PS3 and Vita, I might triple dip (at $10 or less though).

I get the feeling we're going to see a good number of games like this pop up on the release schedule out of nowhere over the next few months.

Ditto... hell, it'll eventually be a great sale on PS+ as well.

I see purchases are once again taking forever and a day to download from the store. Get your network fixed Sony! If I buy a 2gb game on release day it shouldn't take an hour plus to download it.

I'm not sure WTF Putty Squad is, but it's one of the daily deals over at Best Buy today. $16.99 ($13.59 if you are unlocked) and free shipping.

So I keep seeing stuff about Xbox One having a lower resolution or lower frames per second on lots of third party titles. I thought the systems were more or less the same? Is this because the PS4 used that faster kind of RAM, or what?

That's what you're supposed to think.

As Brack said, PS4 has faster RAM and a much more powerful GPU. It's also less complicated to develop for.

More details/predictions in a discussion from November 2013, and the games thus far affected: http://www.resolutiongate.com/

And almost all XBOne exclusives are sub-1080p.

And remember, the best thing about the new systems (PS4 and X1) having PC architecture, is that the master race now always has the best option. That wasn't true in the previous generation.

When PC has an option and provided your PC has a better GPU than either console.

Their whole network must have taken a dump over the weekend. I bought Tokyo Jungle during the 99 cent PS3 sale and it took 3 days to fully download.

Yeah the PS4 and Xbox One have very similar architecture, but the Xbox One has an ESRAM aspect that is apparently a little bit of a pain in the dick to program around. That said, the PS4 GPU is stronger than the Xbox One GPU by a notable amount, and having what amounts to 5gb of dedicated GDDR5 for games is useful. The Xbox One has a faster CPU (I believe it's a couple hundred mhz) and a farm of dedicated servers that MS gets to call their own.

So you're going to see differences for the duration of the generation. The One is a great system so far, the PS4 just happens to be a bit stronger.

Something something we play games not resolution or framerates unless we're talking about Titanfall on 360.

I just hope it harkens more re-releases from the last gen. I was playing Puppeteer this morning, and it's criminal that game got overlooked. I'll bet it would do quite well on PS4.

Speaking of Puppeteer, it's a PS Plus game for April in Europe. Stick it to the Man is the PS4 game for May in Europe. I'd be happy if that's what we get as well (I think they've been getting the same free PS4 games as us so far).
