The controller looks even better than what was shown in VGleaks thread pertaining to R1/R2 buttons.

cannot fathom how someone could find that underwhelming, much less use the term "fail". even theverge is saying "sony FAILED to show the console" and then posted major nelsons tweet.
*cue the "do you want her to suck your dick?" clip from reservoir dogs*
im glad some of you are at least liking K:SF. i was convinced they would show their new IP and was disappointed when he said it was KZ, but i must say; that gameplay demo smoked anything i have seen from Crysis 2 or 3. i feel like i've suddenly been slapped in the face and snapped out of my overinflated view of Crytek.

Yeah I'm trying and finding a replay that isn't live. Does it exist? Seems like everyone was just embedding ustream, which isn't helpful.

Wow, that controller looks great.
no one is being a drama queen. i'm talking from a business sense. everyone was watching today. just look at how it's blown up on:

yea and you're doing the exact opposite. we're both engaging in completely empty discussion here. i'm a casual FPS player. i don't think it is much improved, nor can i see any area where i think it is improved. want to point to some?

umm, Destiny? could be really huge with Activision behind it. they want something else to be massive too besides COD.

I'm somewhat confused over this Light Bar thing. Is it sold separately? Is it just specifically for Move, or are there features that will utilize the controller?
Nope.
PM me if you find one and vice versa.

It was running on ps4 comparable pc specs. I don't seen anything wrong with this, especially since the architecture for the ps4 is x86...

I'm working, can't watch the feed yet. The recap in the OP doesn't say, so...
1. Is it even confirmed the PS4 uses discs?
2. Was there nothing RE: used games / always online? Even a jab at the competition, or a "We at Sony are pro-consumer"? Anything?
3. Was there also nothing about paid or not paid online play?
Thanks to anyone who can answer in this fast-moving thread.

Didn't they say it was only your real name among people you were already friends with on 'social networks', aliases outside that?
Mind you, given the shitstorm when Blizz introduced RealID, I'm surprised there's not more negative mutterings about it.

no. during event they said prototype ps4. i'm sure at E3 they'll have the design down then.
You're kidding... you've got to be kidding. Have you even seen Crysis 3 max`d on PC? Lol.

Which makes me wonder, why would you want to buy a PS4 if you already have a PS3 and a decent PC?
Yes, the Ubi guy confirmed it on the post-game show.
no,no and no ;p

Ubisoft guy said so when he was talking to Keighley. A PC that's approximately as powerful as a PS4.
I'm curious to know what the RAM means for PC gaming. That's a lot more DDR5 than any single video card has now. If developers actually take advantage of it, are we going to be seeing lots of 4+ GB video cards coming out? Or do we expect that a lot of that RAM is going to be reserved for reducing load times and the like?

It is - Ubisoft rep confirmed it to Geoff on the post show.

I loved whatever Media Molecule were doing, but no next gen move?
Other than that, no other games showed anything with the eye toy and I still don't get the need for the giant sensor bar on the controller.

I have a computer capable of maxing out crysis 3... the killzone demo definitely competes handily, and it's only pre-release ps4, imagine what we'll see in a few years.

They focused mainly on the hardware and games developers, it baffles me that some people hyped themselves up for anything more.
Great conference, I'm just shocked they didn't actually show the console.

Great conference but two things worry me, why didn't they say we support used games and that you can play games on a disc? Sony knows the rumors floating all around Microsoft why not stick it to them even more?
from the way they're pushing social and "recording your video" gameplay, i wouldn't be surprised if 2GB+ was reserved for the OS

Two big issues - Media Molecule's presentation looked like the biggest load of shit to someone who has no interest in pretending to bond with their child. God that was painful.
Killzone 4 looked great in the unplayable sections, looked like the same recycled garbage in the actual gameplay.

Even if you can't, why that should be a problem? I used "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson" as my real name on Steam to get that badge thing and I also have some fake Facebook account with names like Johan Kepler and Immanuel Kant (the latter is pretty popular with Bulgarian people who would just randomly add him to their frien lists every now and then for unknown reasons). So you can just put something random in there and not bother with your real names.
But I believe they did mention something about traditional PSN user names being still available. I think most of this real name talk is for Facebook integration.

It'll look fantastic, sure, but graphics alone won't save the ES series if Bethesda keeps on the way they're going.

I hope they don't continue dumbing it down, I guess its permanently lost now. They won't go back once they've started down that path.
Yep, a good percentage of the total ram will have to be used to store video.

I have a question about the dualshocks new screen/pad thingy. Is it an actual screen that can display stuff?

I think Sony did a good job talking about the feature set, selling it to gamers and laying out its vision. I just don't know if it's something I want.
I have many friends but none of them are gamers. The heavy push on social; sharing pictures and video and watching live streams is of no interest to me. None.
For me, it comes down to games and services. The third party games shown tonight did impress me, but Sony's games did not. And Sony talked very little about its services; just that it was in negotiations with media partners. I needed more than that tonight.

Does PS4 have a disc drive? That would be one sure fire way to get rid of used games if the system has no disc drive. My theory is that maybe only 1 SKU has a disc drive and the plan is to eventually phase out disc drives slowly.
That Gaikai stuff sounds really impresive. Did they mention if you will have to rebuy old games that you own with Gaikai? Curious how real world streaming quality will be, how will compression of streaming affect visual fidelity and latency in real world circumstances.
I really like the instant-on hibernation stuff although I expect that from next-gen and all the rumors we've heard. Got me thinking the 3GB hibernation mode built into Windows sounds like 3GB reserved on Durango.
The dual-camera Kinect-looking device is intriguing, I guess they will blow out details on it at E3. I'm surprised to see them still using Move controllers with PS4.
Overall I'd say the games themselves didn't look very interesting other than Watch Dogs. Killzone despite being technically impressive looked really bland. Witness looked insanely boring. Couldn't understand the gameplay at all in Witness. I wasn't really blown away by the graphics they demoed in anything, but I'd rather they show real stuff than fake demos. I know the system is capable of much more so kudos to Sony for actually showing real demos this time.
Reading reactions on Twitter I think Sony missed a big opportunity not showing the console. Normal consumers/media seem to be extremely confused/bored by this presentation. I didn't think it was so bad, but I think normal consumers were expecting something more like an Apple presentation with a lot of focus on the hardware design and specifics like price & release date.

Any ETA for a downloadable HD version of the conference?
Gives them an excuse for further big reveals at GDC, E3, and/or Gamescom.

Probably not this quick no.
The hype was worth it though, it was funny and the console reveal has satisfied the majority.
Clearly the console is connected to your brain. That's why they didn't show it. The brain cyberization is going to be a bitch.
No one is this dumb.
The console has a blu ray drive, so it'll play games on a disc. Also, talking about used games policy wasn't going to happen at this event.
