@zoofame: I'm hesitant on both consoles at this point. The industry is going to be healthy without me. This close to launch i want to see the system running what are my benefits if i'm playing PUBG? I want to see games loading with progress bars for current gen vs next gen. I want a boring powerpoint from each company because I'll admit im super anti-Playstation but a proper powerpoint and spreadsheet can inform my decision making more than some stupid sizzle reel. I am a reasonable person.

Such a stark difference between the Apple Watch and iPad event the day before where I knew what I was getting and that the new iPad and Apple Watch weren’t for me. I knew what their features are and there’s no confusion. I guess they know gamers will accept anything.

@serryl: With Xcloud (Bakalar said on the beastcast how they wont leverage that on console.. phftt) there's enough there to get me to drop my iPhone and actually get an Android phone (where feature parity is the same as consoles on phones.. so it's all about features). I don't play any games on my phone but if i can get access to an old 360 game and play it on airplane wifi then that's the future of gaming. People hungry for sony exclusives confuse me. If netflix no longer added content there is still enough stuff to watch for years. New is just new.

@igort: yeah but $50 and $60 is less of a gap between $50 and new standard $70. Where’s my slide rule so I can calculate the number of QTEs I get per MTX

@firecracker22: the pricing on miles morales is most suspect. $50? What is your messaging there. When you beat the game by Christmas afternoon and there’s a big “to be continued..” slapped at the end of a 6 hour game don’t be surprised.

I stand corrected on the 99% of based PS4 games working. Is that digital too? With a fee? But please preorder.

@anderswarming: The reason we didnt get a GTA6 is because of the lazyness of porting over GTA5. GTA5 is going to straddle 3 generations. An 11 year old that beat GTAV could only have played GTAV this whole time can now vote.

@liquiddragon: When you snipe at only 1 nugget instead of the whole bushell i assume that everything else is valid. I owned 2 separate PS4s. I had a pro for the launch of death stranding and played pubg and bought a PSNow subscription. Had it for the duration of healing from my broken arm so about 4 months. Got rid of it. Then got another Pro for Last of Us 2. Played through that drivel and got rid of it. I had other consoles at the time. PSN: NoirH20 if you want to verify. Money is not an issue for me. If couple of hundred dollars can make the bombcast or other podcasts i listen to more enjoyable then why not. My eyes naturally glaze over for anything nintendo, pc based, or playstation based. I get all the information i need from listening. I do have to put my hands on each system long enough to understand the operating system and nuances. I really hope you guys go in hard on the bomb and beast casters because the amount of questionable unverified... "i heard-isms," 'never played-ism,' and 'wasn't that on console-isms" that i hear on the podcast is infuriating and feels like nepotism and who you want to have a beer with over the most informed gamers which is honestly just a daily kotaku log in and maybe a reddit scroll. I don't know if the casters feign ignorance on basic stuff just to keep the train rolling or if not knowing stuff is okay. I really only care what Jeff has to say. I feel like Jeff in a sea of Dans.
