Better not cost more than the DS3.

You're dreaming if you think it will cost the same. Get that thought out of your head now.

Yeah, I'm ridiculous for wanting to actually PLAY a game from one of my favorite series of all timewith the limited amount of time I have to game this week instead of watching a presser with info hat will be the same tomorrow as it is today. That shit isn't going anywhere. If it wasn't for that thing Dizzle and I would've finished DS3 last night.

Yes, by now we all get that you didn't give a rats ass about watching this live. But don't bitch about someone else wanting to watch it lol.

:dealwithit:

I wish the one 4chan came up with would have actually happened.

"Shelf starts rumbling and games clatter to the floor"

Dave?

I just think it's funny that you call me ridiculous for actually wanting to PLAY a game over drooling over my keyboard for games that none of us can play for 9+ months.

That's like passing up sex right now for the "promise" of a blowjob next year from a hot chick your friend knows.

Yes, you've made that quite clear. But don't bitch about other people wanting to watch it. And yes, watching the PS4 announcement for a couple hours is exactly like passing up sex. Exactly like that.

In many cases, this is the better decision :yep:

That's not what I said.

But how would you know?:troll:

Here's the press conference for anyone who missed it or wants to watch it again:

 

[Twigg4075]

By the way, who the fuck was this Andrew House chap? Where was my boy Jack Tretton?

 

[Twigg4075]

Either Mark Cerny is very tall or Andy is a midget.

 

[Twigg4075]

I had no idea that the creator of Earthworm Jim was the CEO of Gaikai. Interesting.

Can't wait to see sport games on this console.

I would say the same but usually, in the case of Madden and NCAA at least, they aren't very good as they try to "figure out" the new tech on the console. By the time they get a pretty decent game (i.e. Madden 13), a new console is coming out.

yeah...this is probably the main reason I'll wait a year (at least) till I get one. As long as they are still making The Show and other sports games for PS3, I think they will have more established features in that version.

 

[killgod]

very impressed with that showing. those games look incredible, the controller looks awesome (thank you for fucking ditching "start" and "select"...then adding in a button to literally share your game? unreal!)

thrilled.

A speaker and stereo headphone jack are built into the controller. A mono headset will be bundled with the PS4; players can plug it into the controller for voice chat, and to hear sound effects being piped through the controller.

The DualShock 4 retains the Sixaxis sensor that was present in the PlayStation 3 controller, although Sony says it is a new, "highly sensitive" sensor. The light bar contains three LEDs that can light up in various colors to provide useful information to players. For example, the bar will be illuminated in the same color as a player's avatar to let them know which on-screen character they're controlling. It can also change colors to tell players that their health is low.

Sony has merged the traditional Start and Select buttons into a single "Options" button. The company also says it worked with developers to refine the analog sticks and triggers; the stick surface is concave, like on an Xbox 360 controller. The touchpad is a capacitive panel that supports two simultaneous input points, and the controller uses Bluetooth 2.1 for wireless communication.

Unlike the PS3's Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers, the DualShock 4 can be charged through the PS4 even when the console is on standby. Sony says micro-USB smartphone chargers can also be used to charge the PS4. The battery itself is a non-removable lithium-ion power source.

The current design, which Sony says is tentative, weighs in at 210 grams and measures 162mm x 52mm x 98mm.

Good Job Sony!!!:goose:

If current ps3 controllers are about $50, i can only imagine how much these will be

well this kind of sux.

Sony: PSN games won't transfer to the PS4, nor will your game saves

It's the morning after the night before, and Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has just confirmed to us that current-generation PSN titles won't transfer across to the PlayStation 4. The company admitted last night that PS3 games wouldn't be compatible with the latest console, but has added that it will try to make titles playable "in some form." Because the architecture of the Power-PC-based PS3 and x86-based PlayStation 4 are so different, Sony will only bring across games that don't guzzle the latest console's power in emulation. The executive also said that the company aims to offer server-side and cloud services to offer a wider library of older games, but said that's one for the "longer term."

My PS3 isn't going anywhere so doesn't really bother me.

I'll have both systems.

Yeah I imagine a lot of people will keep their PS3s but having to switch consoles to play a PS3 game that came out 6 months ago will get old. My guess is that most people that buy a PS4 at launch wont be playing their PS3 much.

I bought both PS3 and 360 at launch...never touched the old games.
