INTEREST: Sony Reveals PlayStation 4 Home Console

So, with no backwards compatibility, and the distinct lack of physical media being mentioned an indication that the rumors of this being download-only, this is an obvious no-buy for me.

Where did you hear that? Relaz it's still a work in progress and why did they have to mention physical media? Isn't that obvious? Some people need to get over themselves.

This is the 1st site I saw that is completely bashing the system. Did people forget that a feature that most people have wanted for a long time will be possible, watching a friend play a game and being able to comment with them. Also we got a Final Fantasy anticipation statement, Some mind blowing graphics, and a lot of games that at least 1 should be able to satisfy each person.

Most of the negative comments i see are mostly "the system didn't take my eyeballs out my eye sockets and code the game in my brain like I wanted." Seriously what else do you want it to do? Also they mentioned backwards compatibility CURRENTLY being researched via stream so that's been brought up also.

I'd say the ONLY problem I saw was the emphasis on social aspects of the system. My only gripe is that the system looks to social for me.

Because it was "Look, Generic FPS", "Look, a racing game and a lot of talk about fecking suede patterning!", "Look, a generic looking fantasy set up!". Also, there was very little gameplay shown. The majority of the videos were promotional videos, which would obviously have more attention given to them than actual gameplay.

Not to mention, Ubisoft trolled Sony by announcing Watch_Dogs for the 360 and Wii U the second the conference ended. I lost all current reason to buy a PS4 right there.

The ability to play games as they're downloading is a really cool one though.

Now that's a reaction i was looking for. I'm not expecting everyone to be hyped and jumping off the walls but i at least want people to admit that they saw 1 thing cool because their was enough to show. Even I thought that even though that fantasy game looks like Dragons Dogma I still have to admit that the graphics blew me away.

Do you really think this is bad graphics?


I didn't like every game there but I know there's at least 1 game that spiked people's interest until E3. Heck I'm excited by 2, Infamous Sons and Watch Dogs (which I'd prefer for PS4).

So it doesn't read PS3 discs ._.

There was more to it than that. Killzone is a well established title for PlayStation. There also the new game Knack, Infamous, Blizzard porting Diablo. Plenty of good titles there. Not to mention you barely know what Watch Dogs is anyway. We've barely seen anything from that game. Besides a game like that on the PS4 will look much better than 360 or Wii U given the specs of the system already.

It's just a pre-rendered video that is doctored up. It's not the actual game-play footage or are we going to forget kill-zone 3 marketing tool in 06??
