PlayStation 4 Video Reveal: Come See The Elephant


All 39 seconds of it.

Many things have been said about the PlayStation 4 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/123959-Rumor-Mysterious-PS4-Reveal-Video-Emerges-UPDATE], and many things teased, but few reveals have been more exiting than these 39 seconds of pure wonder! Ladies and gentlemen, what I have here before you is not for the tender hearts, nor the weak of spirit! Only watch this if you're the soul of daring, hardened in mind and body, veteran of many a shock and shatter! Afterwards, feel free to have a cup of tea.

Now that you've seen the elephant [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_the_elephant], remember that teasers aren't necessarily the most revealing of creatures. "Make sure you are the first to see it first," as the YouTube blurb puts it, but if you want to be that lucky you'll need to get to E3.

Black, no sugar, thank you; some honey, if you have it.

Yay, it's a black/dark gray box with shiny gray bits on it... I really wish modern consoles would come in more colors then dark gray/black and white, like they did in the N64/Gamecube days. Even the WiiU is guilty of only being Black and White! I want colors!

 

[cwmdulais]

why are Sony trying so hard to make themselves look retarded?

 

[Sean Kay]

Yay! It's an out of focus square!
Still hyped, but this kind of bullshit teaser is really disappointing to me. If I wanted to look at an out of focus console I'd squint at my PS3
Hopefully they'll announce the price at E3, that's what will make or break my decision to buy or not

I preferred the Tron light show of the fan made video honestly. We're in the year 2013. I want to feel like I'm actually in the future instead of just polishing the same turd after 15 years.

How does this make them look "retarded"?

While I wouldn't use that word to describe this, it did make my eyes roll so hard they almost ended up scattering across my desk. This video is almost a self parody of the worst kinds of hype. It's an add that spends 30 seconds telling me nothing about anything and then giving me a date. Your mileage may vary, but I found it to be rather awful myself.

 

[Matthi205]

Can somebody who is good with an image program like Photoshop or G.I.M.P. please put this mess together into something that makes sense? (And sharpen it, too - that blur filter is heavy on the eyes).

This was a pain in the eyes to watch, and it told me nothing. Not even the shape of the power button. It's just a series of badly cut views of the console with a blur filter on top. As if Sony said to themselves: "Everybody is doing this very stupid stuff now, we want do that too!". And so they did.

They apparently don't sell that well in the West.

Honestly? I don't think they're trying.

I preferred the Tron light show of the fan made video honestly. We're in the year 2013. I want to feel like I'm actually in the future instead of just polishing the same turd after 15 years.

And really, was this supposed to pique our interest? It looks...boring. Bland. Banal. Banana. So sue me, I was running out of "B" words.

 

[Shinsei-J]

They've got me hook line and sinker now...
It's pure advertising peaking my curiosity.

 

[Zhukov]

Because the most important thing about a piece of computer hardware is the colour of the plastic around the controller jack.

 

[GonzoGamer]

So is Sony trying to tell us that they're unfocused? We got that memo a while ago.

 

[Andy Shandy]

My God, it's a black rectangle?

I am truly shocked by this amazing revelation!

 

[Tradjus]

Oh woowwwww it's.. another black box.
Seriously, why were people complaining about not getting too see what this thing looked like?
We knew what it was going too look like, it wasn't going too be a purple rhombus, it wasn't going too be a yellow quadrilateral, it wasn't going too be a red triangle.. it was -always- going too be a black box.

 

[Justin Smith]

Are they going to have a big release where they just show us what the console looks like?!
This is stupid. This made me somehow less interested in it.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

It has vents! And is black!

To be honest it may as well been a ps2 in the video for all the use this reveal is. Just show the damn thing Sony, let people make jokes on its appearance if they feel like and then we can all move past what the black box looks like and start talking about the games.

 

[Weresquirrel]

I was kind of hoping it would be elephant shaped... That'd get my attention.

 

[Charli]

My computer is more colourful than that thing. And has pretty optional neon lights.

Also I can't see what it looks like so that's just... the most pointless thing I've viewed today...

And my research for drawing today was looking at car parts... I've been feasting on boring.

 

[JokerboyJordan]

"It seems to run on some sort of electricity!"

But yeah, it's a black box. Big friggin woop.

Fan-made Tron console was better in my opinion.
