If you dont already own a "next gen" console, What game will make you buy one?

[wjdobie]

Say, was Mario Kart the reason you purchased other Nintendo consoles (assuming that you did)?

 

Not our Wii, we bought that at launch - Back when you had to Buy 'Wii Play' just to get an extra remote

 

Unfortunately never had a Gamecube - We had a PS1 and PS2 Instead - We bought a Wii because we had tried it out and were simply amazed by it

[xnamkcor]

There is no game that would make me own an Xbox. I own a PC.

I will buy a PS4 if Sony announces a Wild Arms game.

I will buy a Wii U when Smash is released.

Unless of course I don't have the money to buy them.

[Sauron]

I might get a wii u for mario kart, when it gets a bit cheaper.

[Chosenminecraft]

I am on the fence about the PS4. I have a PS3 and I am saving up for a new PC. I grew up on Playstation and have owned the PS1, PS2, and the PS3. I have loved them all but their is only 2 games that as of now i'm interested in on the PS4, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Destiny. That's it though. Ill buy a PS4 if there is 5 games that I am looking forward to or if I can get one for really cheap (Sub $200)

[DeViLzzz]

Winning a substantial amount of cash is the only thing that would get me to buy a PS4.  As for the Xbox One if there is not a hardware revision ever then there is no chance I would get one ever no matter how much money I had.

[OozyGorilla]

Halo and Zelda sell me the Xbox and WiiU. And any future Microsoft or Nintendo console.

[cae]

Wouldn't buy for one game. I recently purchased a Wii U, but that was because there are games I want to play on it currently and several more that were announced at this year's E3.

[Stadiz]

Metal Gear Solid games hands down and  Abe New 'n Tasty. (altough PC release will be coming)

But I would not buy it....no money for consoles....

[TheTechyBrit]

A new Crash Bandicoot game for the Playstation 4. I loved the Crash games when I was yonger. Unfortunately this is highly unlikely; I don't even know who owns the rights to the franchise at this point. It was Activision but they've since removed my favourite Bandicoot from their site and not said anything about it. Naughty Dog needs to buy back the IP and return to the roots of the series but, I guess that's all for another topic

I wouldn't mind Little Big Planet 3 either but I couldn't buy the PS4 unless I recieved the money for it some way or another.

[Stefky]

I own an Xbox One and a Wii U (as well as a gaming PC and a 3DS) and I can't think of a game anounced yet that would make me buy a PS4.

If the unpleasant rumour that Street Fighter 5 might be a PS4 exclusive pans out - that would do it.

Sony's issue is that their good excluaives are mostly single player campaigns that last a long weekend. For that reason I don't tend to consider their consoles until a good few years into the generation when a bit of a back catalogue has built up.

[Helly]

I've been waiting and checking ps4 prices for months. Ever since Infamous second son was announced. Hoped the bundle wouldn't be so expensive (613 euros here, cheapest i can see), and for months i had to wait months for it to be available, cuz the shops where it was had prices of 500 euros or more... which i'm totally unwilling to pay for it.

 

Right now its more widely available for 400 euros so i will finally be buying one next month. Along with infamous and last of us remastered cuz i've still not played it and when i heard it was coming out on ps4.. i skipped it.

 

I actually find it weird there's ppl who don't buy consoles for a specific game... you guys just by the console without a game? Or just buy whatever game is available? Or just rich and buy every game available?

[hawthorne]

naa won't buy a console for any game, if I cared that much I would watch it on youtube.

[That Norwegian Guy]

Even if Chris Roberts made a U-turn and made Star Citizen console exclusive - hell, if Elder Scrolls became console exclusive - there is no way in a thousand unholy fires I would ever be caught manhandling such an evil piece of plastic, hatred and lies.

 

And that goes for all ransomware.

 

Hell, I really wanted to play The Last of Us, I'm still patiently waiting for an emulator and will keep doing so forever.

[tovleander]

Borderlands for PS4 would make me buy another PS4

[flibberdipper]

Halo 5 and that big Halo bundle.

[ROK]

A PS4 is last on my list of shit to buy, not only because I love Little Big Planet and Uncharted, but because everyone I know is a console scrub.

Likely will wait for the consoles to get a price drop in the next year or two to justify it. $300 or $350 is a stupid expense I can cope with, but $400 is not.

[Stefky]

I don't understand why anyone would buy into a platform for a single player campaign... several hundred pounds for three or four days of gameplay at best? Utter madness.

A good mulitplayer game though? That's a different story. If I lock onto a good fighting game, driving game, sports game or shooter I might play that for several hours a night every couple of days for a year or more.

That's tangible value for money.

I don't care how good the campaigns are - there needs to be AT LEAST ten world class single player campaigns on a platform to justify a console purchase, but just one good mulitplayer.

People saying they'll buy a PS4 for Second Son? Jesus. You'll play the thing for a weekend and that will be that. Second Son and Uncharted 4 - two weekends. I just can't underatand the mentality that thinks an exclusive strategy of limited campaigns makes any sense to the consumer at all.

[Synthetic-Pulse]

If square started making HD remakes of there classic snes games along with a remastered FF7 and FF8, and they where console exclusive, then I would highly consider a PS4.

[Trik'Stari]

I will buy a console again when Nintendo makes a Zelda game that looks as good as skyrim

[Trik'Stari]

Also if Sony brings back courier crisis and or i³

[dlf]

More money to spend. I want (in no order):

 

PS4

WII U

3DS XL

perhaps a Vita.

 

But I have no where near enough for any of those systems. . . ..

[Stefky]

I will buy a console again when Nintendo makes a Zelda game that looks as good as skyrim

 

I, and most Zelda fans, would absolutely hate to see a Zelda game with the art style of Skyrim.

 

Zelda is not supposed to be aiming for realism, and in my opinion the Wii U footage they showed looks a hundred times more appealing than that game does visually.

[Trik'Stari]

@Stefky I simply find that visual style unappealing. I don't like the cartoon-y look and I find it to be more laziness on Nintendo's part

 than simply "thats what its supposed to look like".

 

Nintendo needs to quit being lazy, make a game that looks good and hardware that offers a compelling value for the price, not just cheap.

[S52OBD1]

I've got my PC and Xbone. The only game that would make me go buy a PS4 or Wii U would be Shenmue 3 or an HD remake of the first two.

[SkulD]

Nintendo games may not look good to you, but their quality is undeniable, way better than those games that look "good" but play like crap.

And i think that everyone here plays to have fun right ?
