If Sony comes out guns blazing with a The Last Guardian announcement I will shit myself but as of right now I'm with thewhitepenny.![]() I'm guessing that maybe we will hear about something from Suckerpunch. Edited by majinpowers, Feb 20 2013, 03:26 PM.

Initial impressions on the conference: The good: PS4 will be nice. Environments, draw distances, effects looks good. The list of developers is also nice (though you would expect it to be) Vita streaming Exclusives (Infamous, Killzone, and Beyond, not interested personally but some people are going to be hyped) Stuff using move might be nice, I enjoy what I've used the Move for despite there being very little overall. The meh: Few new IPs Jonathan Blow's game didn't look at all interesting and his description of it made me even less interested. Cloud gaming (nope, still don't care) Social Network integration/creation (no thanks) A ton of obvious not exclusives ("Deep Down", "Watch Dogs", "Destiny" are almost definitely cross-platform) Upcoming Final Fantasy announcement!!! (yeah, not interested in the slightest) Diablo 3 (even the crowd reaction was deadpan) Edited by XcornmuffinX, Feb 20 2013, 08:22 PM.

Overall, I would say the system itself looks nice and all but nearly everything else was lackluster. I didn't walk away from it feeling hyped by anything in particular and I did feel somewhat disappointed by the showing so far for what would make the PS4 "special" over what MS will put out. Oh, I'll buy one because there will inevitably be exclusives I want but at this point it's more of a "wait and see" what MS shows us before I decide the "main" system as it where. |

It was a pretty vague show. I won't lie though, I had fun watching everything unfold, they just needed to show more than they did. Then again, E3 will be approaching soon. I'm personally waiting to see Xbox's "Knockout Punch" to Sony (if any of course because you'll never know). |

Eh, the early exclusives don't interest me (Killzone is okay, but it's definately not something I will buy a system for, hell, I still don't own Killzone 2) and I won't be picking it up for the multiplat stuff like Destiny or Watch Dogs (I'll get them on PC, or a console I have now). It's nice to see the specs are decent though certainly, (about a mid range gaming rig nowadays), and they can run Unreal 4 and those other shiny new engines well so that at least means the PC should be getting some better ports for a few years at least. The new friends list thing looks okay, though I hope it doesn't start filling up peoples Facebook profiles with crap, and the whole watching friends play could be cool if it is implimented properly. It's no MiiVerse, but it looks like it will work fine. The fact that they announced proper remote play for it pissed me off a little, it's something they really hyped between the Vita and PS3, and almost nothing uses it. The fact that they were holding off the feature for a new console really irks me. Hell, this is something we were told we would be able to do with the PSP remember? Obviously no mention on the price point (i'm still betting on 499.99US), or the used games situation (though they are much less likely to impliment it than Microsoft imo) yet of course, but I don't see me getting it in the first year at the moment. |

I dont know about you guys but I was really impressed with what they have planned for psn. All the demos being on the cloud, gammes that download while you play them and the console having the ability to go on sleep mode like the psp and 3ds is cool. I thought there was a decent amount of announcements, and well see even more at E3. the touch pad on the controller looked kinda useless though Edited by stickdude2320, Feb 20 2013, 11:49 PM.

The only thing i really liked was the ability to broadcast your gameplay directly from the console and the ability to stream to your Vita. I like watching people play games when im not playing them, if it's really that easy then im all for it. Being able to play a digital game instantly is kind of cool too, waiting to play a game i just bought can be a pain in the ass. Spec wise im not all that impressed, it's not anything more than im capable of playing just now anyway. |

This show was a what I call a Platform Annoucement. It was not a Product Annoucement, as that will be probably E3 or a Pax. Thank god for this community. I have been on kotaku and neogaf viewing the self righteous 'core gamer' community debate if this was Sony's last hurrah or not. It is almost detestable. I have a lot of money tied up in Sony gear and while you could easily get me confused with a Sony fanboi I still know bullshit when I see it. What I saw tonight was gaming taken to the next level. I also saw a lot of posturing to offer social media and streaming in a way they can go after the current video sharing market legally. The future may not be so conducive to what we've seen on Youtube for the last 3 or 4 years. However, that said I am happy with the Sony annoucement. It is everything I've always said and thought it would be... and more. I am really excited about the platform. Honestly I cannot say I am excited about the Killzone game. Yes it will be day 1 for me but I haven't even finished KZ3 so I wasn't drooling at the mouth. To me this is what the Steam Box needed to be and by the time that is out imo it will be too litter too late. I think the Drivers Club game pretty much stole my heart. I have helped build race cars, as that was my hobby as well for a long time. I have the forza games and the grand tourismos and a good many friends who play those exclusively. This is the opportunity to virtualize that hobby, thank god its an expensive real life one. Also, I think Sony understands Nintendo. I think Sony is going to eat the Wii U's 3rd party share for breakfast, dismissing them to their own world and 3rd party scraps. That is unfortunate but honestly... Nintendo hasn't done much to stop it from happening. I also kinda see Halo being Microsoft's last hurrah. If Halo 4 isn't a 720whatever exclusive I don't think they will compete with Sony unless their hardware has Gddr5 as well. I am sorry that is just insane tech Sony has under the hood for a 'game' system. All in all it looks like 2014 is the year of the Japanese dragons. If Dark Souls 2 is on the PS4... god have mercy on us all. Yes, I am really excited. |

Spec wise it is pretty impressive. It will do any current PC game just fine. It also has a lot of potential for future games. I think you might underestimate 8GB of GDDR5. That is a lot of bandwidth that is unified. You won't find that type of system anywhere behind a security door today. |

It still puzzles me how Microsoft can get away with only having 512MBs of RAM in the 360 seeing how those games come out. I heard something about cache in the hard drive that helps assist 360 performance but i'm not quite sure. Either way, I am really excited to see what can be squeezed out of the PS4 (as long as developers know how to take advantage of the technology) Edited by SehnDaniels, Feb 21 2013, 09:51 PM.

Caching to the HD only works when you have an HD and you install a game to it. Unified Ram and its Embedded Dram on the Graphics card really is what made the 360 shine. Most PCs do not have a Unified Memory Architecture (UMA). UMA only exist on mainframes and Highly Available systems usually. PCs may eventually go to this but it won't be for some time. Gaming consoles have had the benefit of being somewhat specialized hardware so UMA makes sense. It allows a singular pool of ram be shared between the CPU and GPU. Moreover, if their are some dirty bits under the skirts of the architecture there can even be Remote Direct Memory Access, which again is usually only found on large scale computer clusters. This allows a CPU to peek inside the memory the GPU is working on, and vice versa. This allows hardware which is seemingly uninspired to actually have some of what NEOGAF forums call 'secret sauce' or 'wizzard jizz'. The PS4 going to a UMA pool of GDDR5 is flipping insane. I write financial software and I can only dream about having that amount of highspeed ram at my disposal. If Microsoft doesn't go with DDR5 it doesn't matter how much trickery they come up with... in 2 years time people will be using the Nextbox for a cable box and Halo and nothing more. PS4 will have more faithful High Resolution, High Fidelity ports of PC games and vice vera while Microsoft try and dig their way out of their decisions with their Windows and Office revenue. That may sound a bit biased towards Sony, and you'd have a good argument too, but as a man who loves to talk hardware as much as gaming it really makes me happy in the pants to see what is in store for Playstation. Now lets see if they can make good on the promises. |

No more Kinect, no more HBO, they really need to start thinking about "games" which is what the 360 was designed for in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I do love the little extras, but they really need to start thinking about some exclusives. Make another Crackdown or a game similar to its style. What happened to making unique styled games like Kameo? Now it's all about entertainment and "browsing the web" on the console. It'll be very interesting to see what Micrsoft does to try and out do Sony, because I honestly can't see how they are going to do it. |
