Sony Expected To Unveil The Next Playstation Tomorrow

[Guest bitroast]

boom, ps4 announced.

[blackdust]

Dammit my stream went dead just as he was announcing it. They show any pictures of it or is he still going on about my living room

The controller is the one they've been showing proto-types of, looks like the move is built in. Touch pad and headphone jack also. lightbox functionality with depth perception... which does have some potential. I still think the touchpad is a stupid gimmick though.

Knack looks awesome.

 

Diggin this so far

[Ego]

8GB is great news, specs seem nice. Progressive game downloading is a very cool feature I've only seen Diablo 3 do.

[baph]

so far so good

 

one-button suspend/resume is a nice touch

[ghOsty]

Aparently there is an ability to jump into friend's games via the network and take control of thier game to help them if they need you to,... This sounds odd, just wait til someone figures out a hack to exploit things with this too haha I imagine some hilarious COD rages.

this live stream is hellish. so many dropouts (some little, audio lags). some big (whole video dropping dead).

Yeah, I gave up, watch the highlights on youtube later

[syd syside]

stream is working fine here: http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/

 

also damn, the cpu/gpu are on one chip so apparently this reduces bottleneck between the cpu - gpu - memory, so this thing should be fucking fast

I'm just reading the live blog on Ars Technica like a proper dweeb

that's weird. i wonder if other consoles will follow with this type of hardware and what effect it will have on pc gaming.

[Ego]

That's not what was said. From what's known the only major difference with PC architecture is the unified memory architecture. They still have to connect the memory to the CPU's and GPU over a bridge.

seems they're focusing on the system being designer friendly (ps3 was known for being a pain in the ass to work with).

also, all the focus on streaming seems to be sony realising youtube/let's play videos are currently booming like crazy.

could've sworn 'Michael Denny' was rob lowe.

[Guest isaki]

what shooter is currently being shown? mines was lagging a bit and I missed it.

[Ego]

It's Killzone.

 

It's like they told Guerilla to stop using brown. Not impressed by the art direction tbh.

Killzone 4 looks pretty wicked

[vamos scorcho]

killzone looked ok. if arma3 or planetside 2 doesn't play on this perfectly then yawn

[syd syside]

Knack is way cooler than Killzone

[eugene]

x86 is cpu good, less fucktarded ports on the pc

[Guest bitroast]

killzone looked sick when it wasn't gameplay.

it was like, impressive visual graphics and performances, then gun and hud comes up, and there was a turok 64-esque fog covering the whole environment.

[Guest isaki]

lol at this racing game. went into great detail, saying how they've gone "borderline insane" with the attention to detail, then when you're in the driving seat your head doesn't even move an inch
