..That could be disastrous, as I'm pretty sure that's the reason 360's "mic playerbase" ended up as incorrigibly loud and violent as it is.

one of the reasons i loved my ps3 over my 360.... less 12 year olds on mics screaming whenever you killed them.... oops... i mean cheated them

I think I may be one of the few people here that likes the design of the DS4. From the looks of it, it seems pretty comfortable too.

[Detective Shadzter]

Wait, you can't use used games on it? What is this I don't even....

What's given you that idea?

When did this happen?

EDIT: Naw you're not the only one, I think it looks way better than previous DualShocks

i like it too, the analogs look a bit weird imo (they should be totally concave or convex, not a mixture in between)

I liked it too

 

Loved the conference, hype during all over it. The graphics aren't SO impressive so far, but the new functions made me want this new PS right now. Put your game on stand-by and keep it up from where you left without having to watch all the logos and title screens? Perfect. The sharing options all seems awesome as well. The controller looks cool, and the touch pad will come in hand (no pun). 

And I'm really interested on this game, you all probaly know why:

anyone know if there's a youtube version of the conference yet?

[C.J]

Not sold on the PS4 yet, I was a bit underwhelmed by the event. It was a decent conference but nothing really stood out that made me want to get it straight away. Guess I'll have to wait till E3 to make a proper judgment. I quite like the look of the controller though.

[Sega DogTagz]

didn't expect to see all the stuff I actually did see, so this conference was pretty good for me.

 

A good couple of things to look forward too, and a they didn't beat around the bush with their spec's. They put it all out there which was really great. Looking forward to the insta-play downloads (I hope that extends to game installation as well) and the rear touch pad on the DS4 really opens up some interesting angles.

Something something diminishing returns something short leap from PS3 something lol

 

Naughty Dog @ E3 pls pls pls

the ds4 has a rear touch pad too?

DualShock 4 revealed: pushing the boundaries of play

I just realized, only 5 console generations left until we play games by snorting spores.

[KrazyBean]

Y'know, I have to wonder...next-gen games are going to be bloody expensive! Wii U games here in the UK cost £49.99 for a brand new game, so I'm guessing that we'll have to pay at least £59.99 per game!

[Dobkeratops]

you know, Infamous won't get the attention levels of a poster child for insane visuals like KZ or the big name games from Ubi/Activision/etc.

 

But I'd wager it'll be one of - if not the - most fun games for the console's first year. Sucker Punch will fucking deliver and I'm blindly buying anything they make.

 

 

 

Also now that everything has settled, can we agree it was an amazing presentation? They did 15 minutes of talking and less than 10 minutes of motion bullshit. We don't know the plastic casing yet but instead we got what really matters: the insides. And it's a fucking dream. The whole PS4 is build specifically to be an amazing gaming machine first and foremost, with powerful but familiar architecture.

 

Rest of the 2 hours? Games.

 

They got an impressive first party (we just saw like 20% of what they're working on), all thirds will be there and are pumped up for those specs, all of the features and even the social components are tailored around PLAYING VIDEOGAMES. Personal preferences might make the current showing less appealing on an individual level, but it's just a matter of time until other sorts of software appear.

 

Like, if they don't fuck up the goddamn pricing it's going to be a stupid good system. I'm excited.

If that isn't pre-rendered, then the console is going to cost a lot of money. The newest GPUs cost nearly 500 dollars, and this is supposed to be "next generation" if they're not talking out of their ass.

 

Edit: SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR US DOLLARS.

 

That's probably a place holder, though it's likely UK buyers will be paying out the ass for it, since every goddamn tech producer seems to like just changing the symbol rather than converting properly.

It's worth noting that the PS3 was £424.99 when it first came out, so if this turned out to be the price, it would actually be a slight improvement on the PS3's launch. It's very likely a placeholder, though.

As far as first party studios go, Evolution and Guerrilla haven't shown any sort of CG for the past +8 years. And if you see what they made of the aged PS3, you'd realize they have zero need to. Sucker Punch never does CG.

 

Third parties are each their own, but I doubt the ones heavily pimping out engines (Epic, Square, Capcom) would embarrass themselves so much. Scripted, yes. Pre-rendered, unlikely.

 

We'll see live gameplay demos of these games soon enough. Releases in less than 10 months, after all.

[Conando]

Well, I was going off the 449, not the sale price. It's worse without the sale but, slightly better with the sale, yeah. I doubt it'll be less than 449 base price (without those competing British stores).

[KrazyBean]

One advantage the next Xbox might have is that it'll have DirectX11 (it is a Microsoft exclusive program after all). If you don't know what DirectX11 is, then watch this to see what it can do:
