It's coming! Talk about anything Playstation 4 here!

Leaked controller design-


Looks cool, right?

I guess, but we won't know for sure until tomorrow. <.<;

I guess, but it's, like, a 99% chance because of all these leaks, talk, and their Youtube video's.

I'm getting it.. Not right away, but I for sure will get it.

No, it doesn't look cool; the PS3 has only been out for a few years, I don't see what the big fuss is about anymore personally, considering that I'm someone who doesn't care about "online features" and just cares about playing a game, when Sony comes out with the PS4, let's hope they can build it better, because my PS3 (My Dad's PS3) has died once already, and we had to get it repaired, and I knew someone else who was in the same situation, tried to get theirs fixed, and it couldn't be done. Yet, my PS2 and PS have never been repaired and they're fine.

I'm not really all that excited about it, I can't see how they can make the graphics, and the "realism" any better.

^ It's honestly about luck and care when it comes to systems, my PS2 is losing the ability to read disks and I think that's why I got it in the first place, it can't read PS1 games at all anymore though luckily it's flawless with PS2 games (except Kingdom Hearts 2 which it sometimes *****es about).
But basically, if the PS4 has backwards compatibility I might buy it and if the new Xbox has the ability to play original Xbox games then I may also buy that if Panzer Dragoon Orta just happens to actually works properly.

I guess, but I'm personally not bothered about a new console right now, if anything, it should make the PS3 cheaper in stores.

ps4? I'll be buying, sometime.

"PlayStation 4 has Xbox Live-style subscription and SmartGlass-style controls"

Will suck

In a year i go to pc gaming again and i will stay there.

Are you kidding?! I just got the PS3!

TODAY!!!

YAY! Here's to a new Spyro/Crash game for launch!

I know your pain

Well the Ps3 has been around for 7 yrs. It's your fault for waiting so long.

Yes, but when released it cost you an arm and a leg to buy. It's like Skylanders, I only recently just go the Giants game (not the original, yet) and have no portal and now they announced the Swap-Force with a new portal to buy

If the rumor about locking discs to specific consoles proves true, I'll hold off buying the PS4 as looooooooooong as possible. <.<;

If the patent is there, I'm not expecting it to go unused, sony is a DRM activist remember.

This would make renting from a game rental service impossible too...

Not unless they have specific discs that can be used without locking that disc to your account, it's possible, just set a predefined disc ID that can be used without activation. Playing without internet is probably impossible and not to mention used games are worthless.

Thing about that though is that it leaves an increased incentive to just rent a game over and over, rather than buy it.

And let's say they release Uncharted 4, for example. People play that game series for the story, mostly. But you can blow through those games in a day or two if you have the time. And seeing as many game are 8-12 hours long with their main campaigns, many people will just rent games if buying and owning them is such a hassle. Which would hurt sales.

On the contrary, more rental copies would be sold, since the disc will get damaged and thus need replacing, then the rental company buys a new one and why do they? Because they get so much rental sales if they do. Plus sony could amp up the rental discs to make more profit.

Either way they're shooting themselves in the foot for retail.

It would take far too long for the rental copies to get too damaged, though. Most gamers take care of discs.

Haha. I have evidence otherwise. Also kid games almost never get good care.

But in general, people take good care of them, especially since customers normally have to pay for goods they rent and break.

I hope it could read ps3(probably) and ps2(hope that it could all my tv are hd and the console don't work well on it especially the graphics,also when my ps3 can't play my old ps2 games likes kh2,two legend of spyro,the trilogy of jak and daxter,kh:re:chain of memories and some others)

I doubt it play PS3 games, less so PS2. It's based on AMD's Fusion tech which is pretty much a 64-Bit X86 CPU and an AMD Graphics set, so PC hardware.

Wait wait wait... Has anyone else seen the black box on top? That has Gamecube controller ports!

Anyone else following the Playstation Live Event?

Anyone else following the Playstation Live Event?

I was watchin until they announced the console.

I'm still following. Games look pretty nice.

Is over.
The most surprising thing that happened after they talked about the PS4 is that Bungie is making a game for the PS4.

Pretty underwhelming. Their big reveals were all per-rendered cutscenes for the games. Plus, no look at the console whatsoever? (or heck, even a price range would have been good) C'mon Sony.

I think the modeling thing was pretty cool, but to what extent would have to be seen. Reminds me a bit of Little Big Planet.

Eh, didn't really seem like that much... new inFamous is always nice. <.<;

I have an Xbox

You can play the PS4 games on your PSVita now.

Just watched the video! Looks great! But they need some kids type games, and also i'm wondering if you can upload you gaming video's to your computer, anybody know?

Yeah, that's Destiny. As for the fact that they didn't show the console, They probably will at E3. And for kids games, they have Knack. I'm really looking forward to Watch Dogs, glad to see that Ubisoft didn't cancel it! That, Destiny, The Witness, Infamous: Second Son, and Killzone: Shadow Drop (I think?) are gonna be my first games for when PS4 gets released.

Lol, my bro thought it said harassing the developers instead pf harnessing, lol.

PS4 HAS NO GAMES

The new Killzone's gameplay was entertaining. I like futuristic settings like that, even if it did start by having the place get blown to bits. <.<;

If the announce LittleBigPlanet 3 for the PS4, and it is made as a 3D level creator, I will be sold, regardless of whether or not it has DRM bullcrap or anything.

I don't have much reason to be excited. The new inFamous is the only exclusive on it that I care about, and that's certainly not enough for me to buy it.

From what I saw it just looked like PS3 but with a load of Facebook stuffed into it. I quit Facebook for a reason.

Dude, your my new best friend

PS3 has been out for 6 years at least. You bought at the tail end of the product lifecycle.

Most of these new consoles are concerned with social media....WHY? I want to be locked into a cold dark room by myself and play. I want to SHUT OUT the world, not engage it. I do like the ability to record in game play...not sure if it competes with current solutions--that's the only social media aspect I like.

Have you guys heard anything about in-game advertising?

I applaud the desire to be the "entertainment" hub, but I read that as a play to compete with Amazon, Netflix, etc to do the same thing as Apple TV, built into smart TVs etc.

I like dedicated consoles because although I can engage on a hardware level and build the ultimate PC I just want to plug in and play. I see myself buying this and the Wii U, but I usually engage a couple of years into the lifecycle---time enough for a hardware revision, get the software/hardware bugs out, and a cost reduction.

I'll continue with my pc, even if it was 100GB RAM with over 9000 reso.

Oh, I know I'm bumping an old topic but apparently sony's blocking technology IS in the PS4, but it's up to developers to decide whether they use it or not...
