PlayStation 4 Discussion

[Dobkeratops]

So, presumably 400 dollars if true, 450 possibly. That's not too bad, so I guess they either learned to not be so ridiculous with cramming crap into it, or they're betting on software sales for a LOOOONNNNGGG time.

 

If you're implying they're breaking the bank here with the PS4 design, now they don't have expensive custom chips nor exotic media drives with diode shortages - nor do they seem to have a controller that costs half as much as the console.

 

What they probably got are fantastic deals commissioning a lot of the parts to a desperate AMD. You're looking at a PS1/2 situation here, not PS3.

Oh gee, a Touch pad on a controller? Totally new and innovative! Clearly, Sony is the most inventive video game company

Other than that, $400 is actually a pretty good price IF that's true and I can see it compete with the Wii U.

PS4 will be bundled with next gen PS Eye, report claims

I'm ok with this if it's optional. I'll probably just stick with the regular controller, though. I have a Kinect for my Xbox 360 and I haven't used it for ages. 

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

Gosh, where are these leaks coming from?

[The Kid]

I can see it now, Gaikai will used for playing released PS3 PSN games on PS4. Could explain why digital releases on PSN are more expensive than physical all this time.

 

Pretty much every game released digitally on consoles for the "Big Three" have been more expensive than retail versions. It really doesn't have anything to do with Sony or future PS3 emulation specifically.

[canderson]

This is actually making me excited for what they have to offer at E3. especially if this upcoming announcement is the new console. Hopefully, it'll be in playable form. 

I'm assuming all of these leaks are true?

So, new MotorStorm for the PS4?

[Dobkeratops]

Consider me surprised if they actually show something big at this event. PS Meetings are primarily hardware and services, we'll be lucky if we get something beyond 2 teasers / tech demos plus a list of developers already working on games.

 

Most software announcements will be done on the way to and during E3.

The rumour train continues.

That's a biggie to release on launch.

Just over a week to go. Just over a week to go! Why can't the days go faster? T~T

Well, CVG sure seems confident that it's a PS4 reveal. Makes me wonder if press sites have actually been told it's a PS4 reveal.
 

Trust us; this isn't up for debate. CVG can guarantee that the next generation home PlayStation console will be announced in New York on Wednesday. Sources that have confirmed this are numerous, increasing by the day, all connected to Sony and absolutely trusted. It's happening.

[Nintendoga]

Apparently alot of sites are saying that this is a leaked pic of the prototype controller.



I could have sworn I saw a mock-up just like this a few weeks back. But gathering from the rumors, I wouldn't be surprised if the final version comes out anything like this.

[Badnik Mechanic]

It's very 'prototype' even for a prototype,

[PSI Wind]

The screen reminds me more of the Dreamcast VMU than the Wii U, which is nice. They need to make this controller 360 size though (if it isn't). The PS3 controller is so uncomfortable

[Autosaver]

 

So this is how it will detect used games!

 

it shouts wii u wii u wii u wii u

Sony begins mocking of Microsoft and Nintendo
http://www.shopto.net/news/41949/Sony-begins-mocking-of-Microsoft-and-Nintendo/?utm_source=ShopToNews&utm_medium=facebook

 

Great to see 90's-style competitive gaming advertising again.

[Marcello]

When they mocked Nintendo with the Move it certainly worked out.

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

The Move has no games. There were no AAA games that made the gameplay better with the Move. That's why it failed hard.

[Marcello]

I know that. That doesn't change what I said.

 

 

Anyway, I find it sort of funny that they say "Yoga Isn't Gaming, See What PlayStation's Got 2/20.“, as they basically created the forerunner with the Eyetoy.

 

Still, I always enjoy these types of campaigns.

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

The Wii's focus was on casual, exercise and sports games hence the Wiimote, Wii Sports and Wii Fit. The PS3's focus wasn't on EyeToy, it was optional along with the Move.

 

And now by the looks of it, the Move is now integrated on PS4 Dualshocks so everyone who has a PS4 can use the Move features, therefore developers can integrate Move in to their games or create games designed for Move without worrying much.

 

But...does that mean we'll see more yoga games on PlayStation now? -.-

[Marcello]

I meant PS2's Eyetoy, actually. And I wasn't implying they were being hypocritical or anything, it just made laugh a bit. Though, I feel like there was a Yoga game on it.

 

And the built-in Move will hardly be used. Just like Sixaxis, which I'm sure most people forgot existed.
