I'M GIDDY. But what's going to be the technology powering it, you glorious bastard Hasney? A fine question, sensually asked. LET'S TAKE A GANDER.

This has been corroborated by multiple sources IN DA KNOW, so I'm confident it's real.

"Shit be poppin'" is what that post means to me.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Comparing those specs to MS's Durango, if the leaks are believed it has the exact same CPU, but slightly worse graphics hardware. Durango also has more RAM (8gb), but slower DDR3 RAM compared to the GDDR5 in Orbis. Durango has a 32mb EDRAM cache to help with the slower memory bandwidth though.

Surprised Sony would be showing their hand first. But I cannot fucking wait.

[Blitz]

So does that confirm that shit indeed be poppin?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's poppin harder than my asshole after a big vindaloo.

So yes, shit very much be poppin.

[Kalyx triaD]

Will the controller have a good weight to it?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

There is a rumour that it will be a brand new controller. Hope that one's true.

Well, true and not this mutation again.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's the thing, I like the controller right now - it just feels like I'm holding the controller's packaging in my hands.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Never try the controller from the Super Slim. It's just as light but now the material feels 80% cheaper too.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I don't think it'll be a new console reveal now.

Fair enough. I'm sure you would have at least enjoyed watching me play it if I did get that Trance Vibrator though.

Development sources with working knowledge of both next generation consoles have told us that PlayStation 4 will be more powerful than the next Xbox, will ship with a redesigned controller and launch by the end of the year in Japan and the US. PlayStation 4’s European launch will follow in early 2014.

Sony is set to reveal its next PlayStation on Wednesday February 20th at an event dubbed ‘see the future’. Sony Computer Entertainment released a teaser video last night to announce the event. Below, our sources revealed what to expect from PlayStation 4.

The controller

Sources close to the hardware have revealed to us that PS4 will ship with a redesigned controller which is the same size as an existing DualShock but features a small touchpad in place of the existing Select, Start and PS buttons. The tech is based on Vita’s rear touchpad, and is similarly responsive in use.

A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet.

The launch

We’re told that PlayStation 4 will launch in Japan and the US by Christmas, with a Euro rollout following in early 2014, the delay attributed to the complexities involved in European distribution. Alongside the console, Sony will also introduce a new, improved iteration of its PlayStation Eye peripheral, which remains compatible with the PlayStation Move controller. Move will be available at launch, but it’s not clear yet whether it will be bundled with the hardware. Sony has already earned an enormous amount of goodwill among studios working with PS4 development hardware. Privately, Sony representatives have conceded that the company made a mistake in creating such esoteric architecture for PS3, and its strategy for PS4 gives developers more opportunities this time around, notably because the hardware is much more PC-like in its makeup than PS3.

We have confirmed with sources that recently leaked tech specs are accurate. Though Durango devkits offer 8GB of DDR3 RAM, compared to Orbis’s 4GB, Sony’s GDDR5 solution is capable of moving data at 176 gigabytes per second, which should eliminate the sort of bottlenecks that hampered PS3 game performance. Importantly, we’ve learned that Sony has told developers that it is pushing for the final PS4 RAM to match up to Microsoft’s 8GB.

Both platforms are driven by eight-core AMD CPUs clocked at 1.6GHz, with Microsoft opting for a D3D11.x GPU from an unknown source and Sony utilising a more capable solution in AMD’s ‘R10XX’ architecture, alongside the so-called ‘Liverpool’ system-on-chip.

It’s clear Sony has designed a system that, on paper, outperforms Microsoft’s next Xbox. One source familiar with both platforms tells us that in real terms Sony’s console is “slightly more powerful” and “very simple to work with”.

Ultimately, the performance differences between the two consoles will have as much bearing on multiplatform releases as the differences between PS3 and 360 – very little – but Sony will be expecting big-budget firstparty releases such as the PS4 Uncharted sequel to demonstrate its console’s superiority.

[ClockShot]

I'm hoping backwards compatibility is in there again.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Maybe PS1/PS2. Not a prayer on PS3.

[LoDownM]

"I will get a PS4 solely because of the AMD inside" <- The huge AMD fanboy inside me.

Will you get an XBox too because of the AMD inside there?

[LoDownM]

Yes.

Hell, if they didn't cost 3000 dollars, I'd probably buy a Mac if they used AMDs :o

[Emperor Smeat]

Think the Wii U also uses an AMD chip as well.

Same was said about the PS3 vs Xbox 360 in terms of overall power but in the end they pretty much were the same. Ditching the Cell is going to be the biggest benefit for Sony.

Only issue might be the memory since Epic Games won't be happy and 4GB seems a bit small. On paper its only going to have 1/2 GB more useable memory than the Wii U (4GB overall but 1GB reserved for the OS).

According to Edge, the PS4 controller will have a new button called "Share" and allows anyone to record and edit up to 15 minutes of game footage.

“A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online,” Edge reports. “The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet.

[Fignuts]

Sony has the better exclusives IMO so ill prolly go with ps4. Since Thad hardware is much easier to work with Xbox won't have 100 exclusives at launch year to Sony's 3.

[Kane Knight]

PCs will totally outstrip this before launch. ALL HAIL THE PC GAMING MASTER RACE!

Playstation remotes are not very ergonomic on girls hands :)

That's because girls don't play video games, obv.

I'm hoping backwards compatibility is in there again.

Even if it is, they'll remove it in an update required if yuo wish to use 80% of the features.

[Kane Knight]

Microsoft has pretty much given up on exclusives except Halo and Gears, anyway, so it's like Sony being the first horse out of the gate when the rest have been shot.

Seems like kind of a dumb move, since exclusives are what distinguish your console.

Yeah, I was shocked. It's much better than GT's usual output. Maybe they'll improve since their editor-in-chief quit recently.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'd love to see this guy do one for Microsoft and Nintendo Direct but really those Do's and Don't's are kinda universal.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rumored PS4 controller and if it really is true does fit with the recent rumors of it keeping the Dualshock design while having the mini-pad.

[ClockShot]

All that extra plastic, it reminds me of the original xbox controller. There's gotta be alot more bulk in the middle.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's a prototype, probably be slimmer for mass production.

Guess it'll feel heavier at least, which I'm cool with.

[Kane Knight]

It had better be slimmer. It reminds me of one of those really cheap knockoff controllers you bought because you were broke as fuck.

Thouh I wouldn't mind a more solid, weighty controller. Just kill the bulk.

[Kalyx triaD]

Triggers have more resistance now, apparently. This is good.

[Fignuts]

Yeah I've always disliked how the analogs on the dual shock curve outward instead of inward like the 360

Considering they're the ones with most of the exclusives these days, they've learned something.

Will it make their console good? Dunno.

Truly.

[The Rogerer]

I'm looking forward... to witnessing what will be the start of the death of consoles.

[Kalyx triaD]

Whoever embraces indy games will win out, I think.

[Extreme Angle]

I'm predicting Valve will win this generation outright...

If they can release a few different tiered pc's all 'Steam' ready at startup and a friendly size for the living room, possibly look like consoles. They win.
Surely they'd need to:


Add Linux support to all, if not the majority of their games
Add local multiplayer to most games, Call of Duty notably
Full Controller support (With Mouse/Keyboard support too)


But if they keep their moddability then they are sure to win.

Look at how much attention OUYA got for that and that's just Android...

Their already going down that route anyway with the current rumours on hardware plans and their big picture mode.

[Kane Knight]

I'm looking forward... to witnessing what will be the start of the death of consoles.

So you're looking forward to last gen?

I'm predicting Valve will win this generation outright...

A prediction like that is so ridiculous I expected Fignuts to make it.

One of the amazing things about your prediction is that it relies on Valve doing things that aren't really Valve's to do. I know Gabe is fellated as better than Jesus and Steve Jobs rolled into one, but I don't think it's within his power to revolutionise the PC market in ways that are ultimately up to the publisher and developer.

"Valve" may win this console generation, but only in the sense that consoles have become increasingly pointless. that's not really "outright," though.

Besides, we all know the Ouya is going to win this generation.

[Kalyx triaD]

Looks better here.

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18erh74xpa0bcjpg/xlarge.jpg

And yeah 'some guy' confirmed that the triggers are Xbox like now. I don't know if it's curved inward or not, though.

[Tom Guycott]

Shit. Think they've hired Segas 16-bit marketing team.

According to leaked documents from Sony, the PS4/Orbis is rumored to be costing about 300 Euros ($465). US price might end up between $400 to $450.

Perhaps even more interesting from the article is the idea that "because company executives want to see Microsoft’s updated Xbox before PS4’s release, Sony is unlikely to reveal exact prices or dates for the new PlayStation at next week’s event."

6pm (EST) the show begins. Just so we're clear.

[Emperor Smeat]

Some rumored games that may or may not be announced as part of the show if Sony discusses any games.

* Media Molecule game? - Under the games section, Media Molecule has a mystery game on their website. It could be something unannounced for the PS4…
* Killzone 4 - According to an inside source close to Video Gamer; Guerilla Games will be revealing the next installment in the shooter with the PS4 announcement.
* LittleBigPlanet 3 – There are reports that Sumo Digital is working on the newest Sackboy adventure. They previously worked on the DLC that made the Vita compatible with LBP2.
* Singularity – According to a domain registration, Quantic Dream may already be working on a second PlayStation game destined for the PS4. This is something other than Beyond: Two Souls
* God of War V – Sony Santa Monica is dropping hints on Twitter of another installment. We’ll see if it makes it to the main stage tonight.
* Battlefield 4 – GameStop was lucky enough to see the game this morning (as noted on Twitter). Maybe that’s because an announcement is coming for tonight?
* Gran Turismo 6 – Based on a few rumors, there is some sort of PlayStation exclusive racer in development


Of those games only Killzone 4 was confirmed to be targeting launch day for release.

[Emperor Smeat]

Final PS4 rumors before Sony's announcement show with the big one hinting most of the previously free PSN features could become paid features for the PS4. Some of it was stuff already rumored but that one seems to be the newest rumor.

A source has told Kotaku that two PlayStation 4 models are in the pipeline -- one priced at $429, the other at $529 -- and that launch will be happening this November, at least in the United States. It sounds as if pricing is still up in the air to some extent and won't be talked about this week.

The source also shared some new photographs of the new controller, which should look familiar, and said that "most" of the console's online features will require a paid subscription. Reportedly, PlayStation Plus is being phased out or transitioned into something called "PlayStation World." One has to wonder if online multiplayer will finally be put behind a paywall.

Other rumored details include the ability to remotely control the system via mobile device and the inclusion of a PlayStation Eye with every PS4.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh shit. If the MS Durango specs are real, PS4 destroys it yet using the same easy to code for architecture.

[Mooияakeя™]

Nice/

[#BROKEN Hasney]

ACTUAL GAME FINALLY.

Now my stream locks up :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

New IP in Knack. I'm happy enough with that as the first game shown.

[LoDownM]

Did he just say "no more load times" basically?

[Emperor Smeat]

In a way, yeup.

The ability to play a game while its being downloaded at the same time sounds pretty nice.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No boot up time. Games will still load I think.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Can take over people's games? That is actually fucking awesome.

[Blitz]

Lost my stream. What the hell

[CSL]

but can I just LOG IN AND APPEAR OFFLINE YET GAYLORDS

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Honestly, hardware wise it sounds like Sony learnt from PS3. But it's all about dem games.

[CSL]

sorry, touchy subject

[Tommy Gunn]

You can play Mortal Kombat with a friend in Vietnam!

[LoDownM]

FUUUUUU my stream died.

[CSL]

feel like that is how every non-famous over-30-under-40 millionaire dresses

[RoXer]

If you like the guys at GiantBomb, they're doing a running commentary during the stream. More entertaining than what you're probably watching.

[Blitz]

Can't even load the website it was embedded in right now.

[Mooияakeя™]

20 odd years in the US gets you that real American sounding accent. Can't differentiate US accents at all, but to me he don't sound 'British' anymore. I'm sure he was born in NI.

[Blitz]

Right, got it back.

Didn't care for what I saw of Knack before it cut out.

[Savio]

still waiting on that "lifelike blow job" feature

[Blitz]

This guy is not a fantastic public speaker.

[LoDownM]

Hmm, wonder if this streaming stuff with eventually support Twitch.

[Blitz]

Ripping off the Wii U with remote play.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

My friend has just broken up with someone, only reason I'm up watching this. I would like to thank CSL for his Daisy knock knock joke for me getting a laugh out of her :'(

[Blitz]

Translation of all this: BUY A VITA PLEASEEEEEEEE

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ripping off the Wii U with remote play.

Yeah, just the price of a console AND Vita to make it work.

[CSL]

My friend has just broken up with someone, only reason I'm up watching this. I would like to thank CSL for his Daisy knock knock joke for me getting a laugh out of her :'(

:D

[CSL]

this stream is about as much use as the PS3 browser #RELEVANTCOMMENT

[Blitz]

Look, the social aspects and cloud stuff and tech specs are cool and all...but can we just see some more games, y'know?

[VSG]

Daisy knock knock joke

??

[#BROKEN Hasney]

TIM SCHAFER SIGHTING

CONFERENCE SAVED

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Giant Bomb trying to find out when the developer video was made based on Tim Schafer's beard status

[#BROKEN Hasney]

??

Knock knock

[#BROKEN Hasney]

This stream is unwatchable now. I hope it's not brought to us by Gakai.

[LoDownM]

"Next 20 GIGS downloads" Don't know if my monthly download limit likes the sound of that.

[Blitz]

This stream is unwatchable now. I hope it's not brought to us by Gakai.
I moved it down to 360p and it's better.

[CSL]

he said "seamress" :'(

[The Rogerer]

My friend has just broken up with someone, only reason I'm up watching this. I would like to thank CSL for his Daisy knock knock joke for me getting a laugh out of her :'(Do your grooming somewhere else

This is good

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I moved it down to 360p and it's better.

I'm on 240p :'(

[CSL]

voiceover/announcer bird is the loudest thing of all time

[Blitz]

You poor bastard.

[ClockShot]

HERE COMES KILLZONE!

[Blitz]

Killzone whatever.

Hoo-ray.

[RoXer]

ok, yall should watch the giantbomb feed at 480p. been clear and flawless the whole time.

http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Sorry, it's Killzone at a Sony conference. I automatically smell bullshit.

[LoDownM]

Not enough brown hallways.

[CSL]

ok, yall should watch the giantbomb feed at 480p. been clear and flawless the whole time.

http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/

this appears to have some whiny throbbers yapping over it

[LoDownM]

If this is actually real time, I want now. Wonder if Gamestop is accepting PS4 preorders yet.

[RoXer]

nah theyre good dudes

[Blitz]

I'm sure if I gave a shit about Killzone, this would be amazing.

[Mooияakeя™]

Closest thing that gun to anything from BF 2142. I likey

[ClockShot]

What's up with the slo-mo shooting?

[Tommy Gunn]

A sci-fi shooter... mold broken!

[Mooияakeя™]

Proper Northerner speaking up.

[Blitz]

I do not care about driving games that aren't called Road Rash, F-Zero, or Mario Kart.

[Blitz]

Realistic seatbelt buckling. Well I'm sold.

[Mooияakeя™]

I do not care about driving games that aren't called Road Rash, F-Zero, or Mario Kart.

Skitchen! lol.

[ClockShot]

Oooh, another infamous game.

I was hoping it was a Watch Dogs demo.

[Blitz]

Again, if only I cared about Infamous.

[LoDownM]

So stop watching then?

[Blitz]

lol "I really don't know what I'm gonna do to follow up all those explosions"

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh no. Move.

[Blitz]

If there is ever a press conference that's just "here's our new console, here's a bunch of awesome games for it, it comes out at x time and will cost x dollars, see you later", I will buy said console on general principle alone.

[Tommy Gunn]

I'm tempted to go watch a film and just browse the highlights of this tomorrow, but it's obvious the good shit will be at the end.

Uncharted 4 anyone?

[Blitz]

"Introducing our newest title, Wi--errr, PS4 Music"

[LoDownM]

Oh no Capcom.

[Blitz]

Ono. Troll the fuck out of this conference now.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Love Ono. Guys fucking mental.

[ClockShot]

Capcom working on something not called Resident Evil.

Interesting.

[Blitz]

Deep Down looks decent.

[LoDownM]

ALREADY SAW THIS SQUARE ENIX

[LoDownM]

WHAT, wait till E3, FU Square Enix.

[Ermaximus]

If this is actually real time, I want now. Wonder if Gamestop is accepting PS4 preorders yet.

Starts Friday.

[ClockShot]

Bring the goods, Yves.

[Blitz]

"There is Final Fantasy stuff happening. Keep an eye on E3 this year." Lot of bombshell announcements here.

[Emperor Smeat]

Is the guy from Ubisoft literally paraphrasing everything that's already been said so far?

This is like some sort of Raw Recap to stuff that happened just moments ago.

[LoDownM]

Is Ubisoft just gonna rehash the same thing from a year ago like Square just did? #stillmadeaboutSquareEnix

[Ermaximus]

Unless they announce KH3 at E3 for the PS3/4, then Square can fuck off.

[LoDownM]

More gameplay for this just makes me want it even more.

[Blitz]

Watch Dogs looks amazing. But not because of PS4.

[LoDownM]

Oh hey, Diablo 3 on ps4.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

OK, Blizzard aren't great right now, but this was unexpected.

[Blitz]

Rock N Roll Racing shout out

[LoDownM]

Nailed it.

[LoDownM]

Show Titan now? No? Ok then.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

"Yes, it's me again"

[LoDownM]

Bungie?

[LoDownM]

Atleast they showed more than just pictures this time.

[Blitz]

Holy shit this conference feels endless

[Emperor Smeat]

Bungie having their next game being debuted or shown off first on the next Playstation and not next Xbox console probably a big kick in the pants towards Microsoft.

[LoDownM]

Wish they had showed the console. Totally pulled a Nintendo here.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

That's probably what E3 is for.

[LoDownM]

Yeah I know, just making a joke.

[ClockShot]

Damn. No showing of the console.

Oh well, hope I can preorder soon.

[Blitz]

Not remotely interested in the console at this point.

[ClockShot]

My brother jumped in late and saw the Watch Dogs demo.

He thought it was the greatest thing ever.

[LoDownM]

Blitz is just mad no Call of Duty was shown.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

That's probably for whatever Microsoft has planned.

"Our tech is SO advanced, you can leave 10000000000000000 bullet holes in a wall SIMULTANEOUSLY"

[Ermaximus]

That's probably for whatever Microsoft has planned.

"Our tech is SO advanced, you can leave 10000000000000000 bullet holes in a wall SIMULTANEOUSLY"

And that's just when you reload!

[Kane Knight]

Hope that list doesn't come true. Really hope this "era of sequels" ends and some new IPs get made, you know, more than the handful there has been in the last 5 years.

Every sequel is a new IP.

[Kane Knight]

Ripping off the Wii U with remote play.

To be fair, Nintendo kind of ripped that off from Cross Play.

They did it better, mind, but you're essentially accusing Microsoft of ripping off the tablet from Apple here.

Realistic seatbelt buckling. Well I'm sold.

Now if only they can integrate that technology into GTAV.

[LoDownM]

Every sequel is a new IP.

Sounds made up.

[Kalyx triaD]

Conference was ass overall.

[Fignuts]

Didn't see it, but judging from comments here, it sounds like not a whole lot happened.

[Kalyx triaD]

The most interesting news was the streaming, sharing, and cloud features. Other than that blah blah powerful console blah blah look how great boring-ass Killzone looks blah blah some shit called Knack blah blah our controller is kinda nice now blah blah let's ride Bungie's cock with a Destiny presentation even though the other consoles will have it. And they totally always wanted to end a conference with a Bungie because saving a third party game for the end of their show was idiotic and insulting to Killzone in a way.

Meh. But streaming to an audience is cool. I wanna know if I could save my gameplay in mpeg/avi files so I could edit them on my comp (or even if the PS4 has basic editing features in there... doubt it).

[#BROKEN Hasney]

What I got out of it is that I don't like Sony's first party stuff still. Infamous and Killzone looked pretty, but giant mehs.

Deep Down and Watchdogs looked nice, but they won't be exclusive and both require Capcom and Ubi to not fuck themselves.

[Fignuts]

Not really worried about ubisoft. Capcom however...

[Kalyx triaD]

Capcom and Ubisoft not screwing up these days is a Far Cry.

Ubi needs to drop that Rainbow Six, though.

[Fignuts]

Is there something about ubisoft I don't know? I've enjoyed their games this console generation.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's more their PC output, although they have pretty much run Assassins Creed into the ground since Revelations. That's kind of the worry I have about Watch Dogs, showing all these mechanics and looking great in a set piece, but actually doing that in game will be very different. Much like the reveals of Assassins Creed and the original coming out.

Far Cry 3 was surprisingly ace. I need to finish that up at some point.

[Fignuts]

Yes you do. It just gets better and I really liked the ending.

Also, patch on the way that allows you to repopulate outposts, which is awesome.

[Kane Knight]

What I got out of it is that I don't like Sony's first party stuff still. Infamous and Killzone looked pretty, but giant mehs.

Deep Down and Watchdogs looked nice, but they won't be exclusive and both require Capcom and Ubi to not fuck themselves.

Sony's first party material is pretty mediocre. However, at least they have a first party setup, as opposed to like two titles.

Didn't see it, but judging from comments here, it sounds like not a whole lot happened.

What I took away from it is that the "most powerful gaming device of all time" will have the same RAM as my two year old PC and its four year old motherboard.

[Kalyx triaD]

They've gotten pretentious in my view, which stings because I love Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I got to the bit where I was about to get to the next island, but died after defending that dude for what seemed like ages so it put me off.

Rising first, then FC3.

[Fignuts]

The blonde stoner kid?

Yeah I had problems with that too. No idea why that part is so hard. It gets really fun again after that, so stick with it.

Personally, my favorite part is taking down outposts.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Nah, I saved him fine. That CIA spy with the plane who's going to "drop me off". Just loads of bastards coming from the jungle.

But yeah, outposts rule. I've got all of them done from the first island and I think I've got most of the craftable upgrades.

[Tommy Gunn]

I felt like the conference was trying to sell me a Vita and Move controller. No!

[Extreme Angle]

Capcom stole the show. Also that clay sculpting was pretty cool... But if I wanted to sculpt i'd just use Zbrush...

[#BROKEN Hasney]
