Playstation 4 first impressions

Do older PlayStation controllers work with the PS4?

Also, if you hook the PS4 onto the Internet, is the PlayStation Network easy to use?

I always use the "Home" buttons to pause games since around 2006.  What are other people doing?  I find "home" is just quicker and acts the same way across all games on the platform.  No need to deal with different menus, real pause vs "live inventory", pause having a dumb default option, etc.  On every Wii game I just push that little picture of the house and everything pauses the same way every time.  On the 3DS it goes back to the menu screen and even lets you surf the internet for walkthroughs or make game notes while still pausing the game.  Why would anyone use anything else?

"Start" has always been the Pause button, ever since I can remember... going all the way back to the NES.

When I said pause I obviously meant the start button, didn't think that would baffle people so much. 

So anyways i'm guessing that the option button on the PS4 functions as the pause button?

The touchpad on the controller looks like a cheap gimmick.

What's your best guess?  This is the third time you're asking about it.  Have you heard widespread accusations in the gaming media about there not being a pause feature on the PS4?

Maybe.  Just not as bad as the Kinect 2.0.  And luckily, the DS4's touchpad doesn't make the console cost $100 more than it should.

JWK-Whoa! I was just asking a question, there's no need to be so hostile

Also the Kinnect 2.0 looks really cool, IMO the touchpad looks like a copy of the Wii U's gamepad.

Sarcasm, real clever and original!  I guess it's too much to ask to get an answer that isn't a thinly veiled insult.  All I did was ask a question(Ok maybe it was a silly question that I could've phrased a lot better but still), I don't see how it warrants this kind of response.

How do I make that little eyeroll face on here?

I'll bet the next post is from darkrage6.
