That game looks pretty interesting.

Now that Sony has seen Microsoft's conference, they should really be going after that shit.

Isn't the TV ad campaign for the PS4 supposed to start today?

[CCBrink]

Oh, so PS4 will have what the 360 and PS3 promised this gen? Hooray.

Did they ever promise 1080p/60fps? Thought it was well known that the hardware couldn't handle that.

I'm really curious what the future for PS+ will be. The Giant Bomb guys actually made a great point on their Xbox One reveal podcast. When Sony launched PS+ on PS3 they had a nice back catalog of games to offer in theor "Instant Game Collection". That won't be th cast on PS4, especially with their being no backwards compatability.

My 1st guess is a "Starter Pack" of some sort. Like some of the PSN download titles(Cuz I would hope the store isn't empty at launch). Or as a loyalty thing give you one of the launch titles for free(to keep would be extra nice). Will probably come up with more guesses tomorrow.

It all depends on if Gaikai is ready. We'll have a better idea at E3

I mean look at the PS3...its not backwards compatible on discs but shit you can plays tons of PS2 and PSone games.

[KNUBB]

Well all ps3s can play psone games. The ps2 games have to be tweaked to work on the ps3. This is why the selection is kind of shitty. Gaikai would be the ideal solution.

But you would have to be "always online"

[KNUBB]

To play the old games i guess that would be true. The thing about always online was all about the console not working without being online. As long as the console itself functions properly without being online (plays ps4 games and downloads on the console) then it's fine.

My feeling is this gakai stuff wont be seen for quite some time...they should be tweaking new PS3 games to be downloaded on the PS4.

Probably closer than you believe. They have been prepping for this since it was acquired
