What's the craic with new ps4? Anyone buying it. Haven't really heard too much about it or what it is going to be like graphics wise etc.

I won't until its out at least a year or two Jim.   When the PS3 was launched it was basically PS2 standard games with better graphics.  It took the developers a while to realise it's potential and for games that lived up to the billing to start to come through.

Consoles have fell woefully behind PCs in terms of fidelity at this point, pre-ordered a PS4 with Amazon when they starting allowing it so I expect I'll be getting a launch console if the funds allow. The remote play on the Vita and the fact the PlayStation Plus subscription I've already got is going need me some free games for the PS4 in the coming months just makes the jump easier.

I think once we move beyond the launch windows (where there will be a glut of games that began life as current gen games but have been tarted up for next gen releases) the jump will be swifter than previous generations because both the PS4 and Xbox One have switched to x86 processors and mostly off-the-shelf computer components, meaning developers won't have to get to know the new architecture like they perennially had to with new console releases.

Watchdogs looks totally amazing but it's been pushed back from launch to March at the last second. Next is the nature home to that game, even if there is going to be a current gen skew.
