Playstation 4

Except backwards compatibility has nothing to do with the discs. Sure you need to be able to read them but that is not the major issue with supporting backwards compatibility.

PS3 and PS4 Controller comparison.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Is bigger really better? At least the button placement is exactly the same.

More good news:

The PS4 is confirmed to have a 500 GB hard drive included in every box when it goes to launch later this year. Some users, however, are concerned that the HDD may be too small for those that want to invest heavily into downloadable games. Last night, Shuhei Yoshida, president of president of SCE Worldwide Studios, confirmed on Twitter that the PS4 will allow for upgradeable hard drives.

The PlayStation 4 will also come equipped with a headset and HDMI cable in every box. The PS4 camera, however, will be sold separately for $59. For players who need an extra controller for co-op action, a new Dual Shock 4 controller will cost you $59 as well.

Via a tweet by Brad Douglas (of Sony Japan), PlayStation 4 will not feature region locking according to Sony Computer Entertainment PR. This is good news for people who import games from other regions.

Headset? Nice little addition but I barely even used the one I got. Nice that it's still in there.

500GB will get filled pretty quickly, but it's a hellva improvement than my 60GB fat PS3.

Its soo nice to hear a company actually listening to the consumer!
I wish more publishers were so kind!


The only negative about this console id no backward compatibility, which was a given looking at PS3s complex architecture.

That is Excellent ! because we get a mix of both Regions in here! seems This time Around Sony see's what Microsoft does and then do the opposite.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Region locking should of never been implemented in the first place.

 

[JonD7]

I pre-ordered from Amazon last night... I know I said I would wait a few months but I couldn't help myself, I just hope Sony gives us an option like the PS3 for an extended warranty.

Online multiplayer for PS3 will still remain free right?

Most likely. It's not for certain, but I don't see any reason why they would change their policies for the PS3. What's going to be strange though is what will happen if there will be any online games that are on both PS4 and PS3 (or even Vita). TitanFall is on both Xbox One and 360 so there might be a similar situation on the Sony systems. Or maybe not, I dunno.

No, it's already been confirmed at 60$ a year, just like Xbox live.

I am very happy about this news.

I though for sure Sony was going to implement the same Ridiculas policy as MS, and l thought the days of gaming were over, it would have been for me.

So with this news l am going to get a PS4 (not for a while yet though), which is obviously a very easy decision.

The sad thing is, and what l am concerened about, is many gamers will still buy the Xbox1 as well, and MS will still make a lot of money off their Nazi console. I really hope they don't sell at all, and they recall the system or something.

MS still might get away with what they are doing, but l hope they pay for it dearly.

While I doubt a full on console recall WILL happen, WE will likely see some firmware changes that remove those features before the console releases.

The STANDING OVATION that Sony got to that announcement at E3 ought to be proof enough to Microsoft that it needs to go.

Yeah, not one of Sony's better ideas.

Xbox I don't want One.

Sony presentation was full of win last night. Went to bed with a smile on my face. At this point, I would really want a XBONE for Gears of War and Halo, but two series doesn't make me want to drop $500 on a system aimed at totally benefiting EA

 

[Jen]

I'm glad I didn't like the last Halo or Gears. Makes it easier for me to say goodbye Xbox. I preordered the PS4 and can't wait for Kingdom Hearts. It's been a damn long wait for that game.

Good point. I've played enough of those two series to know if they are good or not, I see why people would like them but they're not my thing. And surely don't merit me personally trying Xbox.

And any money siphoned away from EA is a good thing.

That person was asking about the PS3...which does remain free to play online.

 

[lerath666]

AH! missed that.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

Thats not a bad deal since Playstation plus is alrady awesome and worth the money on its own! Free games, better deals exclusive demoes and early access.
I dont have it yet but i wouldnt mind paying for it when PS4 rolls around

Jen I'm glad to see most of us are on the same page.

I will be going to pre-order mine this afternoon. I will NOT be telling my wife.

 

[RagingBull]

Looks like it's Ps4 for me. 360 won me over from the Ps3 last time but this video sum's it for me
