The PS4 Is Real And Here's Everything We Know [Trailer Inside]

Teeth clenched :-I .....need more info

Gonna be checking info on here. IGN epic failed.

I'm rather pleasantly surprised to have been wrong about this. I blogged the mea culpa but it's worth saying it here too. I made a big mistake.

Shame on you! Admitting you were wrong... you act like this is some country other than 'Merica or something.

You Sir, need to take up my banner;

"I REGRET NOTHING!"

OMFG I had to decide to work today and I'm missing the live stream of this event! The Sony fanboy inside me is pissed

The Sony fan-boy in you would be proud you missed that slideshow

PS4 HAS NO GAMES!

Comment section on that stream sucked balls. "your comment is in moderation" "your comment is in moderation" yadda yadda yadda

When in doubt, blame daniel

They didn't show the console did they?

No, they did not

I think they want to put more focus on what it can do than what the box looks like. Hopefully they'll show it soon though

To everyone's surprise, Michael Pachter was wrong again!

So I'm here to enlighten you and suggest people stop buying what this guy's selling.

Gonna get a bottle of kerschwasser and a shell, put them up in a candle-lit room and ask them little questions like 'so, how long have you two ladies known each other?'?

If so, I understand. It's okay. We all want to touch consoles some times.

They didn't show the console because i bet they don't have a finished case for it, yet. They're probably still arguing over the design.

We still haven't heard if it will play used games or not, have we?

Also, an x86 CPU? From a computer perspective that is so 5 years ago. I would wager that is a cost cutting measure. As for the memory, my PC has had 8 GB of memory for 2 years or so.

An x86 CPU is so 5 years ago. And 10 years ago. And this year, and next year...
I seriously doubt the use of 'x86' alone here implies some resurrection of 32-bit computing, and is more likely used to distinguish between it and PowerPC or ARM or Cell processor designs.

Ah, good point!

Ya but maybe finally games can start having creativity.for once visuals aren't huge deal

So basically they just confirmed a few of the rumors out there and announced a handful of games. No definite hardware specs anywhere? Does it play used games?

In some store out there sits a Playstation3 with my name on it THAT I NEVER PURCHASED because Sony removed backwards compatibility and I couldn't play my Contra: Shattered Soldier disk or Gradius V. There's also a PS Vita that ain't getting bought either. I mean seriously, how do you F**K up a Call of Duty port?

"It learns my likes and dislikes"?
How long will it take to learn that I don't want a system without backwards compatibility or a system that forces me into a disc-less box???

PS3 - failed sales goals consistently. PS: Vita is failing its goals as I'm typing this.

Metal Gear Rising is GARBAGE.

MAYBE THE PROBLEM IS YOU... SONY!!!

Backwards compatibility at this point is expensive to do. You either have to put every systems hardware into the PS4 (PS1, 2, and 3) or create specific emulation software for each system and test run that software for every game. That's why Microsoft quit with the Xbox compatibility. It was all done through software rather than hardware, it's time consuming, costs money, and is a resource hog.

and that's why gaikai is a priceless commodity, so long as i don't have to repurchase all of my ps3 games again.

"The system will also feature a personalization option, along the same lines as Apple's Genius, that will download and suggest games it believes you will enjoy."

Considering this piece of chit is gonna have a slow game library trickle out (filled with first person shooters) just like PS3, I'm guessing its "genius" system is gonna send me recommendations for EVERY SINGLE NEW GAME.

I remember there was a rumor that basically says the PS4 will be super easy for developers to work on. Turned out to be true i guess

Oh man. Will start saving now.

To buy what?

A new PC

Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will be powered by a custom 8-core AMD "Jaguar" x86-64 with integrated graphics APU and "next-generation" AMD Radeon graphics processor capable of driving 1.84 teraflops. As detailed at the event, it will come paired with 8GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory, making it competitive with most gaming-focused PCs on the market. As expected, the system will ship with a Blu-ray drive, built-in 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, as well as HDMI, Analog-AV, and optical digital output. Sony is giving I/O options a boost with the inclusion of USB 3.0 ports and a mysteriously vague "AUX" port. Each system will ship a "Mono Headset" for cross-game chat and other social features.

Whilst I'm still excited about the new console, most of what last night showed (before I had to stop watching as the stream kept cutting out or buffering) is just how much the consoles have been holding back games on the PC.

Games such as Watch Dogs or ones looking like Killzone could've been made over 4 years ago if they concentrated on the PC.

Wonder why all the pc gamers are complaining on here ? It's beyond me.
Nonetheless, I'm hoping Alex or one of our fabulous GR ad members can condense all this 'new' info up for those of us that don't really know what was actually announced yesterday.

I want to feel the excitement too dammit !!

PC Gamers: " oh no you didn't!"

You can always count on PC gamers to defend their investment, like how a man gets when he feels his manhood being threatened. :(

lolest my thoughts exactly brethren,,

Anyone care to break down the ps4 hardware in English. What current hardware on the market is the equivalent of what was announced last night? ( I hope I worded that right.)

I know its 4 dual cores= 8 cores. They also seemed really extra excited to announce the 8gb system memory. Why?
Gpu is AMD. Did I miss anything?

i heard the ps4 is coming out and to be honest i don't want it. they said you can't get used games from it and if it ever stops working you can't play the games you have for the one that broke on the new one. witch means you would have to buy the same games new.i just don't want something that will force you to buy new and not used.

im with you on that. i will not even consider buying one if they dont come out with a backwards compatable PS3 first. one that i can go to the store and buy for 300$. not buy used for 500-1200. thats redicilous ..... anyway that and i want to play my old games. those are the ones i play most. not these new games. i HATE the way they are going with FF13.... its suposed to be a game, not a book. and the way things are going, until they re-release the old games, FF 1-12, i have no intention of buying a PS4
