A Customer Inquiry... PS3 vs PS4

Someone wrote this to our Customer Service Team, and I hijacked the reply. Maybe this can help people decide what to do if they are in the same situation :)


QUESTION:

Regarding the upcoming PS4, will it worth to buy it or a PS3 for current stage? 2 years before I had made a wrong choice in buying a Wii and ended up regreting as it does not has much games I wanted to play and rarely game companies are willing to invest games for it. So in the upcoming year 2014, I would really like to know which console (PS3 or PS4) is much more worth to buy in terms of game variations and which platform will future games focus on (still on PS3 or partially/fully focus into PS4)? In other case if PS3 is not worth to have it in future or PS4 is too expensive/not worth to have it in 2014, will it be better to wait for more releasing games before considering it? Thanks in advance...

REPLY:
Thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com.

We are sorry to hear about your experience with the Wii; while Nintendo has always had a strong following due to their first party titles, unfortunately their releases with 3rd party games has been severely lacking.

To answer your question, with regards to the PS3 and PS4, it depends on...
  1. The PS3 has a 7 year library and according to Sony, they will still be releasing games within the near future. As to when they decide to stop production, this we do not know, but there are certainly many games that you can play on both the PS3 and the PS4. As well, the PS3 will obviously be much cheaper at this stage with several options: the first, second and third iteration of the console.

    Even if you might think that a 7 year library may be too old to consider, some games from 2009 still look as if they were printed today; there are many games that have stood the test of time, especially the PS3 exclusives like The Last of Us, the Uncharted Series and the Killzone Series. As well, many of these titles are in compilations, so at this point you'll be buying 3 games in 1! Furthermore, the PS3 shares many of the same titles from the Xbox360, but the strength of the PS3 library is that all games have been region free, so you can also play Japanese only games exclusive to Sony. Lastly, games now are much cheaper – not to do a plug but our Weekly Specials and Daily Deals often feature AAA titles for a quarter of the price.

    If you are looking for a great machine with a giant library of proven games that have been rated, documented and celebrated by many, then the PS3 is a good choice. The biggest con of the PS3 at this time, actually one that has plagued the console, is the lack of a solid voice chat with online games – you have to play the same game as a friend in order to chat as opposed to Xbox Live's service, with the latter being a paid service though.

    Oh – and the PS3 also works as a media center that watches videos from a harddrive, plays mp3s, CDs, DVDs, and Blue Rays.

  2. As for the PS4...

    Without a doubt this is the most powerful console in the market right now for next-gen, and with that being said, it is definitely expensive. This of course is because of basic economics of global supply and demand, but we expect this to calm down along the next few months with subsequent regional releases. To be honest, we actually aren't recommending anyone to buy one right now, as day one purchases of consoles have historically ended in faulty machines, hiccups and errors. Despite this, Sony has been very good to this next gen by offering a day one patch and a lot of updates.

    Regardless, your concern is a system where you can play games. Right now, there are 4 exclusive titles for the PS4, and several other games that are cross platformed with the PS3. Of course the PS4 ones look, play and feel better, but developers have not really made a huge leap with these titles. In the future, more specifically Spring 2014, PS4 owners will see a lot of great games coming in. This will be the console for at least the next 5 years, and we can surely predict that the PS4 will dominate the market just as much as it's predecessor has.

    Unlike the PS3 though, the PS4 is really built for games, so many of the entertainment features no longer appear. Instead, these have been replaced by “remote play,” where one can connect their PS Vita to their PS4 through a cloud server and play console games on a handheld. That's pretty damn cool...

    Obviously, if you can afford both, that would be the ideal gaming set up, as you can benefit from the rich history and features of the PS3 while waiting for the PS4 to eventually meet it's maturity. As well, it should be noted that Sony is now placing a lot of effort in making their PS+ membership for their PS Network somewhat mandatory (with a nominal monthly or yearly fee) but this is a good thing, as members have access to free games each month, a real voice chat service (for PS4), means to access a giant library of games from Psone, PS2, PSP, and PS3 games! Another thing that might help in your consideration is that the PS4 is not backwards compatible with PS3 games.

    We hope this helps in your decision, and if you have anything more questions, feel free to contact us again; we are more than happy to help a fellow video game enthusiast!

NBA 2K14: the definition of 'next-gen' sports games

NBA2K14 is dribbling onto the shelves in October, so there was no other choice for us here at PlayAsiaTV than to get our hands on the controller and see what Visual Concepts has done to make the game smarter, faster, and overall a better experience for videogame nerd-ballers everywhere.

Let's get to the game-play, this is what makes or breaks sports games - and NBA2K14 is no exception to this rule. You can make the game as pretty as you want but if playing it is no fun, what is the point? Luckily tons of game-play features have been rolled out, the biggest feature in our eyes is the Pro-Stick. Many fans will recognize this mechanic as the 2.0 polished edition of 2K13's 'control stick' (R3). The long and the short of this function is player ball control - this means slick player movements. You can think of the Pro-Stick as a sort of combo-stick, or a modifier. Lay-ups, dunks, jump shots, shielding the ball - the depth of the Pro-Stick is all in all very impressive. I think it is the perfect addition for a few reasons: newcomers will experience an entry-level of control much higher than before, veterans of the franchise will have something to master, and I love modifiers. Okay, so the last one is personal.

The best defense is said to be a good offense, but NBA2K14 decided to say screw it and make sick defense changes anyway. Do you hear that sound? That is all the 2K13 players cheering.


Blocking dunks in 2K13 was hell, there is no two ways about it. In 2K14 you shouldn't have any of those problems because you can actually block dunks, not just foul your opponent. Blocking in general has improved. Lay-up shots and close shots feel much more realistic to block now, not to mention the added animations to the game make it look more realistic too. Screening your opponent won't be another auto-win, 2K14 opens up a lot of counter-play creating a much needed equilibrium between offense and defense.

Your team. They will actually be a unique, and useful, team. 


No more predetermined paths from that wide-open teammate. At least not super obvious ones, which is what matters. There significantly more cohesion to the team, which isn't actually saying much because in 2K13 your players felt like an obstacle on the court. This goes for your opponents as well - so watch out your same-play-spamming won't work. TL;DR No more 'GG 1v9'.

The players themselves have bigger differentiation, so the unique attributes each player possesses can be exploited. So just holding sprint doesn't mean that you can catch every player - if you are simply slower you'll have to use your player's advantages.

Your rosters are real. 


Okay so not 'real', but pretty damn close. This is probably the most exciting feature, if not only because it has so much potential in the future. Your in-game NBA will be affected by the ongoing NBA season, that means if  player is injured, traded, or on a hot streak their play and availability will change accordingly. You read that correctly, the player AI will actually change. Someone is playing defensively or offensively lately? They have been dunking like a mad man? You will notice these characteristics in game.

What is an NBA game without rap?


It is impossible to talk about NBA games without the music you'll be alley-ooping to for hours. Apparently Lebron James had a hand in choosing the track list, but I'm sure the censors had a bigger job in cutting out the swear words.

The full track list:


Big Krit ‘Cool 2 be Southern’

Cris Cab ‘Paradise (On Earth)’

Coldplay ‘Lost’

Daft Punk (feat. Pharrell Williams) ‘Get Lucky’

Drake ‘Started From The Bottom’
, Eminem ‘Not Afraid’

Fly Union ‘Long Run’

Gorillaz ‘Clint Eastwood’

Imagine Dragons ‘Radioactive’

Jada Kiss (feat. Ayanna Irish) ‘Can't Stop Me’

Jay Z ‘The Ruler's Back’

John Legend (feat. Rick Ross) ‘Who Do We Think We Are’

Kanye West ‘All Of The Lights’

Kendrick Lamar ‘Now Or Never’
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (feat. Ray Dalton) ‘Can't Hold Us’

Nas (feat. Puff Daddy) ‘Hate Me Now’

Phil Collins ‘In The Air Tonight’,
Robin Thicke (feat. Pharrell) ‘Blurred Lines’

The Black Keys ‘Elevator’

The Black Keys ‘Howlin For You’

Stripping in Akihabara


So I was writing the Pre-Order News today for Play-Asia.com's newsletter and came across this gem. In short, it's the sequel to Akiba's Trip aka akibaSTRIP. Chyotto hentai dana~


"Akihabara, famous for otaku culture, maid cafes and, uh, blood sucking demons? Blood sucking demons who can only be killed by stripping them? Sounds just like Akihabara!

That's right - return to the streets of this famous district as an otaku caught up in a bizarre conspiracy wherein the only option is to beat up demons, strip them naked, expose them to the sun and nervously laugh as their naked demon corpse melts away.

Sequel to the original Akiba's Trip, this Akiba's Trip 2 features over 130 real world shops and faithfully recreates Akihabara as the stage for stripping. Introducing an AI controlled partner and the new UNISON STRIP SYSTEM, Akiba's Trip 2 sounds awesome!" 

UNISON STRIP SYSTEM = BEST GAMEPLAY MECHANIC '13

November 7th! I'm ready to do this! Here is the official Japanese website!
