Said it in the chat, but I'll say it here. It doesn't look like a touchscreen to me. I've never seen a touchscreen have that clear of a reflection. It's far too glossy. Also, it looks like part of the screen goes on top of the controller. Seems really weird.

I get what LAD's saying. It looks more like a display screen than a touchscreen, which would be stupid because that's way too small for a display. I'd have to assume that it's touch, but it looks weird.


As for the blue light, I'm not up on PS news, but it looks to me like some sort of built-in Move integration.

It looks ugly as fuck.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Don't focus so much resources into gimmicks that will be used in maybe 10% of your games, spend that money on making the controller more ergonomic and the rest to make the console perform like a beast/press the price down.

Another picture surfaced.

This is a better angle than the last one. This picture makes it look slimmer.

There appears to be a hole on the bottom of it. I assume that's for a mic, similar to what the 360 does.

Not sure if true, but that'd be cool.

Now I'm waiting for PC specs (I should be able to run it obv) and DRM news.

I literally just made this post and this link pops up in my Twitter feed.

What can I say? This is just incredibly stupid. I get what they're trying to do here and all, but the selling point of a console is generally GAMES. As it is, Vita has none that will convince most gamers they need to buy the system right now. I guess when you have no games, you have to resort to advertisements like this.

Shit like this is why I think Awful Advertising needs to cover E3. They'd have material for the entire year.

I don't think many of us are really interested in this series, but it's a good read about what the Wii U might be capable of.

Vita price cut incoming for the US? It would make a lot of sense. I don't think you can compete with a $200+ handheld in a market of smartphones.

Yes, I know the markets are different, but for most people the acceptable number of electronic devices in their pocket is one, and we all know which one most people would pick.

Also woo. I'd love to see the PSP remake come here, but if it hasn't happened by now, I'm not sure if it will.

Only one thing here we didn't know previously (I think), that being this rumor that Sony is going to charge for most of their online shit.

If it's just PS+ being continued into the next gen, fine. Whatever. I don't expect free games and all the other goodies that come with PS+. If it's like XBL, where you have to pay to use services you are already paying for, or to use apps that are free on literally every other platform ever, fuck that shit.

There is no way I'm paying to play my (non-MMORPG) games online. I have a lot of platforms and some can sit gathering dust for months at a time. It just doesn't make sense for me, doubly so when I'm not interested in online multiplayer for the most part.

I'll take it as a good sign that nothing was said about used games being locked out... For now. Really that's the only thing that might convince me to pick up this system a few years down the road.

Just watched the Sony conference.

The PS4 was announced, just as everyone predicted. The controller has been confirmed, and all the specs were given. No price was given, and the used games issue wasn't discussed. The PS4 will not be backwards compatible. There were some new features the PS4 will have, including a new "Share" button that captures gameplay video, and the ability to play games as you download them.

As far as games go, this is what was shown:
- Sony announced a new IP called Knack, which appears to be some sort of action-adventure title.
- There's a new racing game called Drive Club. It's in first person.
- Killzone 4
- inFAMOUS 3
- A new game called The Witness, made by Jonathan Blow (who made Braid), was shown. It looks like some sort of puzzle game. It will be PS4 exclusive.
- A 3D modeling game was shown that uses the PSMove to "sculpt your dreams".
- Capcom showed off a new IP called Deep Down, which appears to be generic fantasy.
- Square Enix showed the same tech demo that they showed at E3, for some reason.
- Square Enix also announced that they are working on a new Final Fantasy game with more details coming at E3.
- Blizzard announced that Diablo 3 is being ported to the PS4.
- Bungie's new IP Destiny is confirmed to also be coming to the PS4.
- A new demo for Watch Dogs.
- Several interesting tech demos.

It's also interesting to note that the PS4 was never shown at this conference. No idea why.

Also, all of these developers could be making games for the PS4.

I'll post links to all the trailers and demos once they're on YouTube.

Woo I don't have to quad-post and feel slightly awkward about it.

Actual specs straight from Sony:
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/02/20/plays...ight-from-sony/

Anyway, thoughts on this presser because why the fuck not.

Started out with all that social shit. Yawn. I'm not exactly into the "lol let's connect everything to Facebook and Twitter" craze. It's kind of cool to be able to FB/Tweet something you've done in-game, but having your friends list see your real name, info and all that stuff? I'm ambivalent about that. I mean, I don't mind *you guys* seeing that shit, but some guild I haven't built up my trust with yet or something? Meh. As long as I can select who sees that shit and who can't (it's not hard to do), I guess it could work out.

The coolest part was being able to broadcast what you're playing live. Sony really needs a Mario Party-esque game. It'd be so much fun to have four of us playing, and the rest of us watching and shit-talking each other. Also uploading footage of one of your best runs or something would be sweet.

As far as the specs go, it's decent I guess, but the only thing that stood out is the 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM. Are you for real? Assuming that, a 7000 series AMD Radeon card, and that eight core processor at 1.6 GHz clock speed, as other rumors have specified... Yeah, you're losing money with each console sold.

The only spec I care about at this point is, "can it run used games?" Nothing was mentioned on that front, and I think that's a good sign. Sony and Microsoft might be stupid, but is anyone really that stupid?

But yeah. Specs are nice to have, but I'm not shelling out my $429/529 so I can say "lol yeah my console has all this cool shit". I'm paying that money to run the games, soooo...


Knack: Looked boring and the graphics appeared to be on the level of the PS3. Not exactly a step up here. The artstyle was pretty blah, too. I'm not really a fan of that artstyle in general, though I guess it beats brownan and blooman everywhere. Gameplay-wise, nothing stood out to me.

Drive Club: THE FIRST RULE OF DRIVE CLUB IS YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT DRIVE CLUB

But seriously, it looked like every other racing game ever, just a bit prettier and with more social integration. Yawn.

Killzone whatever it was: I'll admit, the pre-rendered footage looked pretty. But then we got into the gameplay and it looked like a generic FPS with brownan and blooman. LOL if this is what PS4 is going to bring us. I mean, all that extra power, and developers will just invest it in more of that shit? The fuck outta here with that.

Second Son: I believe this is what the inFAMOUS 3 thing was called. I'm supposed to believe that there's some big political statement here when you follow that up with that game footage, which is just things going boom? Lol please. I might buy that if I see more of the game, but for now, no thanks.

Looking like another game I might get if it hits $20 or so.

The Witness: I hate Blow. Yes, he has some points, but he's so belligerent and his games don't really look all that special. This game seems to be some sort of puzzle/adventure hybrid, which I think this existed in the 90s and was called MYST. I'll probably pirate out of principle because fuck him.

I forgot about David Cage, but LOL at him too. He goes on and on about storytelling and how this industry needs to become more mature and such, then basically pimps himself out for the industry's biggest problem, that being the graphics and the insane cost thereof, which makes every game into a money-making venture instead of a work of art.

that 3D modeling shit: LOL

Deep Down: Volt nailed it. Also, because it's not Ace Attorney, I won't buy it. Hell, I'm not sure I should buy Ace Attorney 5 or the Wright/Layton crossover.

Squeenix: LOL RE-SHOWING AGNI'S PHILOSOPHY
LOL ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT AN E3 ANNOUNCEMENT

Watch Dogs: It's fucking Watch Dogs. It still looks awesome and all that jazz. I'm concerned it's going to be either really great or really bad, but leaning towards the former possibility at this point in time.

Diablow 3: That name alone should tell you what I think of Blizzard and its products. The PC version was little more than a glorified CD key that allowed you to access their servers, which essentially means if they shut the servers down, you threw away $60. That's bullshit.

Destiny: The artstyle looked great, but it's probably not a game I'd be interested in.


Overall, it wasn't a total clusterfuck. There weren't any 599 US DOLLARS, GIANT ENEMY CRABS, or RIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACERS to speak of, which I guess is progress. Also no news on the used games front is probably good news. Not an awful presser by any means, but not great either, which automatically makes it better than 80% of last year's E3.

We don't know. Nothing was said about that, so I would assume the release date, pricing, and final design are all going to be shown at E3.

w00t w00t

I'll probably pick one up a few years down the line. As it is, there isn't a "must-have" coming to the system. Unless I hear about Persona 5 or something, in which case I cry and then contemplate killing myself for buying a PS3 that won't get the game I wanted it for most.
