PlayStation 4

PS4 to Release Globally in 2013, expected to be around £300 at launch.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dunno, thought this looked cool =P

 

[Lex]

It's amazing they've kept the same design for 3 console generations and are just changing it now. I'm glad they are, the new controller looks more comfortable.

 

[ForceStealer]

I mostly like that it's not that different. They basically just moved the pylons down. I look forward to trying one out.

 

[Cthulhu]

Are those soft / padded / rubberized grips or is it just me? I think the current controller is fine, but a bit harsh (lol wimp) and a bit on the small side. But then, I guess my hands are a bit larger than the average target demographic,

 

[Lex]

HNNNNNNNNNG

Wooooooo!!!!!!!

I got a strong Tron legacy Daft punk soundtrack vibe from that which is always good xD

Like this:

The console would look really cool if it had Tron lines. Now I have a strong urge to watch Tron;Legacy again.

2013 UK Release Confirmed.

HOORAY! The UK isn't getting shafted with the release date for once! It's the only country with a 2013 confirm so far, so I wonder what territories aren't getting it towards the end of the year? Aus maybe?

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I think that they're doing a smashingly good job with it.
I'm excited to see what the system looks like on the 10th, but I REALLY can't wait to see what they do at E3. The XboxOne announcement has set them up to make some REALLY killer points about some of their other features (like still supporting used games) that I feel could make them just absolutely steal the show this year.

[Carlie]

Burned.

 

[Lex]

That is so win.

Playstation does what X ... can't


... hmmm

If that's a genuine Ad from Sony then I am rather impressed and am almost totally convinced to get their console just for that.

 

[Lex]

I was going to post about how I wouldn't be surprised if it was real, what with Sony's usual tongue-in-cheek advertising:

"Moustache man your worst nightmare has arrived" - PS Launch
"We didn't build a "BOX", we built the greatest place to play" - PS4 Promo video

etc.

But I'm pretty sure it's fake. That's the ad that was in today's UK newspapers. There are now tons of variations floating around:

 

[Cthulhu]

Okay, PS4 controller is the new trollface.

 

[Lex]

Someone in one of the comments on those images said it's smiling.

Now I can't unsee it.

Also someone pointed out that they could easily market a Playstation For Life thing because of the Vita + PS4 functionality.

Playstation 4 + Vita (Vita = Life)

 

[Carlie]

Yeah it's fake, I found it on tumblr and thought it was funny, would've been much funnier if it was real though.

Oh, I'm LOVING seeing the new exbawks fail right now. The console looking like an ugly mofo, the pre-owned games issue and the multimedia parts as well as minor others are screwing it over. Sony can put the nail in the coffin once they steal the show at E3.

 

[Super Mario]

Welp, guess we know what we're getting this year.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

ALL PS4 games will be remote playable on the Vita unless they require specific hardware addons, like the PS4 Eye.

FUCK. YES.

[Carlie]

Well I'm definitely going to buy a Vita now.

 

[Lex]

Excellent news, I burned through my Vita library pretty damn quick.

 

[Carlie]

The reasons why I haven't bought a Vita are that one I have no money and two because the Vita barely has any good games that would justify me spending that much money but with this new development now yeah it's definitely worth the money.
