Do you hear that? It's the sound of MrSega back-pedaling.

:rofl:
Hey, we are going back to the X86 again.
what is mrsega's response?
Don't worry, he'll conjure something up.
The reaction that everyone who watched the event like I thats not a Sony fanboy: MEH.Quote:

No BC.
1st party exclusives that NOBODY outside of fanboys will care about.
Been watching it live, still not impressed by anything.
You're a fucking idiot and a liar. Nobody around here should give two shits about what you think of Sony customers, or the hardware they are showing off.Quote:

Obviously their getting Diablo3 and Blizzard partnership is a sign that Sony is doomed.
"It won't be called PS4"
Sony Announces PS4
"It'll be mostly cloud anyway"
Little cloud use natively
"No BC"
Gaikai details BC plans.
Anything else?
HAHAHA!
There's reason to believe that these titles aren't PS4 exclusive. Your.forgetting the Next Xbox.Quote:

Of course Diablo 3 will make it on the Nextbox.
Just like Gears of war landed on the PS3 after the agreement Epic and MS Sig----oh wait.

I'm not a Sony fanboy. And guess what? I care about those 1st party exclusives.Quote:

I'm still waiting to see what MS will do. Depending upon the state of the next Xbox hardware they could really steal Sony's thunder. But if they have to wait too long they will miss that chance.
Either way, I don't expect either console to be too far off from each other specs/capabilities wise.

As for games, Knack, a new Killzone, watch_dogs, Drive Club, Bungie's new shooter, Deep Down (dragon's dogma 2-alike), a new Infamous, this (non-)game where you can sculpt things with the move controller, and the witness (from the guy who made Braid) were all shown.
O BOI, THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST CONSOLE WAR EVA!!!
Xbox 3 will use AMD Radeon Sea Isands, that means it'll have a better performing GPU.Quote:

I could probably game for the next decade on the PS3 at the rate I go and still not go through every decent game.
Also, all the new systems are basically repackaged PCs. Maybe I'll just go straight back to PC gaming:)
Edit: In all honesty, I'm more excited about Bungie's "Destiny" than I am about any new console. Of course, knowing my luck, it will get pushed to PS4 and Xbox 720...
They showed some of Destiny at this PS4 event, so a PS4 version sounds pretty certain.Quote:

A couple of interesting games announced, nothing that makes me want to buy it though, although maybe it's a bit of a bias because not many Sony IPs this generation or from the PS2 really appeal to me that much.
As for Diablo 3, I really hope that Blizzard doesn't plan on having PS3/4 users to shell out 60$ for this game. It was fairly disappointing and lacks the replay value that previous games in the series had. I would have been more happy to have seen Torchlight 2 as a downloadable game announced, it's just better in most ways, except MAYBE in the graphics department.
Infamous is a good game.
If Microsoft try to one up Sony on power they run a massive risk of pricing themselves out of the market, the PS4 specs are very impressive and way ahead of the current gen (including the Wii U worryingly).Quote:

This is Blizzard we're talking about. $60 for new games, 30-40 ish for expansions. Predictable pattern I'd say.Quote:

There's an elephant in the room. PS4 will almost certainly be mainly cloud based. That means it will likely be expensive. And that just about ALL of its services will be subscription based.
How much with the PS4 be?
They confirmed it's PS4. (And not one of your bullshit Thebes/Near arguments.)Quote:

They showed off new games being worked on for it. What more could you reasonably expect from them?
What the fuck are you talking about?Quote:

I think they will push Sony's shit in hard and get some Call of Duty, or EA Sports leverage. With a cheaper console that will be backed by mobile phone carriers.
The mere fact that they used "Large Capacity Hard Drive" and "Gaming" in the same sentence pretty much destroys this statement.Quote:

It does not. Plus Cloud features mean they'll be both data caps,lagging,bandwidth problem and likely $99 monthly subscriptions.Quote:

Really? From the articles I've seen floating around the net the base price is rumoured to be around $429 with a more expensive model at $529.Quote:

Durango kits leaked over a year ago, before we thought PS4 would have only 4gb)Quote:
