I liked most of what I saw. The games, however sexy looking, didn't really show me anything that I haven't already seen gameplay wise. It's extremely early, of course, but I'm not seeing much that's next gen other than the graphics.
Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's PS4 Event?
- Thread starter MikeWehner
- Start date
So sony added a touch screen in the middel of their controller...... -cough- Wii U rip off -cough-
Can it play ps3 games? Was meh for me. I mean im excited and probably going to buy it, but this event just wasnt that great. Also that square enix vid is pretty old too
I watched that on this site quite awhile ago.

Graphics are reaching a plateau around about now (as in, current PC tech), like i can't see how games will look vastly better than crysis 3 PC (very high) does. But youtube videos hit a plateau of showing what games can look like with current gen consoles. Which is why 'PC doesn't look any different' to people who don't own a PC capable of 1080p gaming. Youtube videos are blurry at best, and ill suited to anything more than 720p - even the 1080p videos are poor representations of the details in games like Crysis 3.Nocturnus said:Alright... in simplicity: No, Graphics are not reaching a Plateau.Aiddon said:
You can YouTube Unreal 4's technical demos, many of which are not pre-rendered cinematics, and look really really neat, and all of which would turn the Playstation 3 into a smoldering pile of ash in even attempting to render it.
The PS4 will look much better than the PS3 'in the flesh', because the PC already does even with ports! Crysis 3 PC level graphics as a abseline for the next gen would be a very, very high baseline to work with,
My main issue is that they really don't seem to be using gpu physics much to enhance interactivity
but that'll come with time.
D, because it didn't have anything interesting for me to play, except for Knack, but that feels like a Nintendo Game, not a Sony one.
Later Sony announced the new Sony Memory Slab which the PS4 with require for saving. And the PS4 with have no internal memory. $90 for the 64 GB model of the new Sony Memory Slab.
/\ Shot at vita.
OT: I thought the event was rather awful. The only good thing was Watch Dogs which wasn't even running on PS4 hardware, but on PC.

It was disappointing, im also annoyed that everything has to be linked to Twitter and Facebook - no other social sites, just those two. Games were very blah, just sequels and multi platform games. Like Watch Dogs - looks amazing but will be released on everything. Where are the awesome exclusives for PS4, games that raise the bar in gameplay than just look nicer. PS3 had great grapics, now i want new experiences. Like with Ghost Recon games, they give you an open city but you cant go where ever you want to, still stuck to corrider shooting with the odd hub here and there. I want a massive WW2 FPS with huge maps where you make your own way from a-b any way you want via streets, buildings or whatever. But we wont get that, just more CoD games with slightly better graphics.
So yeah, wasnt wowed at all. But im sure they are only saving the big stuff for E3 for when MS show off the new xbox. Im sure all the good stuff relating to PS4 is being kept secret until then.

Yes, but only if you buy/rent them again.robert022614 said:
It's got no backwards compatibility with the older games on disc.
Actually the best part about the PS4 is that being closer to a PC it will be easy to develop on. From what i can remember every single PS console has been difficult to develop on. Now, we will have quality looking games straight away instead of a few years down the line when developers get used to the thing.
See.....theres one positive thing. lol

As far as I'm concerned the conference was a flop. The actual console wasn't shown and the show was actually pretty boring. The games all look like they could easily be put on the ps3 with even the graphics jump not being all that impressive. Couple that with the fact no real hardware was announced (apart from the 8gb ram I think).
Honestly though, the most impressive thing was how all these people could talk and talk for hours on end without saying anything. Honestly, you could take what everyone said (like the 20-30 minute section by the architect or engineer or whatever) and condense it into 5 minutes.

Smoke, mirrors, and a new controller. Colonial Marines has told me to not trust anything that is shown in preview.
B.
It all sounds fine and dandy, but as of right now it doesn't have any must-buy games and system-sellers. Even the traditional Sony exclusives... like Uncharted are missing.

I'm in between C and B.
I like some of the system level stuff like background downloads and sleep mode, playing something after a partial download is cool but i wonder what happens if the download finishes while you're playing it but it needs to patch.
The graphics shown weren't impressive but i was expecting that, the small improvements we make now arn't quite the jump we had going from last gen to this one, and my PC seems to be more powerful than the specs given.
Nothing in the Gaikai segment applies to me because my max download is 400kbps, not enough for HD streaming of anything, love the idea of trying demos without waiting though, maybe in 300 years time when i find somewhere in the UK with modern broadband.

I don't want to sound harsh but it didn't impress me at all hardware wise. The specs for it are quite common actually, but I expected higher specs than my 3-4yo PC after a 7y generation cycle.
Well, at least now I can finally hope that , perhaps, they will stop gimping the ports for PC. They don't have that excuse anymore. By they I'm reffering to the developers that start on the console and decide to port it later on the PC platform.

Every bit of news I read of the event and the console/Sony's plans for the future makes me sad. I won't be getting a PS4, or any other console this generation for many years if at all.
No backwards compatibility, PSN games not transferrable, doubling down on the Vita, not showing off the hardware you are holding an event for, the controller looks like it wouldn't be my thing size wise, and no games I care about anytime soon.
*hugs my 3DS XL* At least I have this thing. Its not perfect and there are barely any games I want for it yet, but its all I got now.
