King Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think this might deserve it's own thread Jammy, so here is all the info on the PS4 news, http://ie.ign.com/articles/2013/02/14/watch-the-220-playstation-event-on-ign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jamster26 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Agreed. I am genuinly excited about this. I love it when a new console is introduced. I'm a kid again. I've had an Xbox for years but it might be time for a change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayfunk Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 especially as the PS4 is said to be 50 % more graphically powerful than the 720 although not sure how they know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If anything I will be going for the 720, when they find away to chip/flash the drive, can't wait to see the astronomical prices these consoles are going to be at at launch day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 All I'm hoping for is a decent price and the end of rumours that it will need to have a constant internet connection to play or that second hand games will no long be an option.

dsrchris Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm more p*ssed that I bought a PS3 specifically for Last Guardian, and now they're saying it's gonna be a PS4 launch title. F*ck you Sony, and f*ck you Team Ico (not really Team Ico, I still love you...ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Some PS4 news from yesterday, PlayStation 4 will not require a constant internet connection, it has been confirmed. The PlayStation 4 has been officially announced by Sony. Confirmed at the PS4 event in New York, the console will support new business models such as free-to-play and will launch during the 2013 holiday season. Compared to a "supercharged PC", the PS4 features an x86 CPU, enhanced PC GPU and 8GB RAM, and will be easier to develop for than the PS3. The DualShock 4 controller, which was leaked before the event, appears similar in design to the standard PS3 controller, except for a touch pad, share button, and light bar that acts like a PlayStation Move. There is also a new Light Bar accessory that tracks the controller. The PlayStation 4 will not have native backwards compatibility with games from past Sony systems. During Sony's PS4 announcement event, Gaikai head Dave Perry said that the new console will not offer native support for PS3 games out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 And for my other concern it is seems that pre-owned games are going to be fine as well. Now I just need some money to buy one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayfunk Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 yay the thing with that is simple killing the second hand market doesn't increase sales of actual 40 quid games as most people getting a 5 pound game will not pay for it and will wait and secondly it reduces the early adopters of the console as they will be less likely to trade in the PS3 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 No backwards compatability? Again? So I'm expected to keep a PS2, PS3, and a PS4? F*ck you Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jack Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Surely if there is no backwards compatibility, this means GTA will be released on the PS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayfunk Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 to be fair it does say out of the box, not that it will not be backwards compatable, emulation can be added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etz Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Actually, it's been said that selected PS3 games will be streamed via PSN, not run on the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Actually, it's been said that selected PS3 games will be streamed via PSN, not run on the PS4. So I'm guessing that's gonna be one of the new perks of being a PSPlus member? Its ok by me as i am a collector Yeah except the generic PS2 and PS3 has no real collectible value. If you've got a special edition version of the consoles, then sure, as it stands your PS2 is probably worth about £20 if it's in good shape.

Guest John Hancock Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Surely if there is no backwards compatibility, this means GTA will be released on the PS4? Maybe on both. I doubt Sony will be stubborn enough to release the biggest game of the year on a console no one's going to buy, but, then again, we all remember how PS3 started.

Guest The Beltster Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Always nice to get new console options, the PS3 and 360 have been around for a long time now but I still think there's plenty of life left in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magic Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I haven't seen anything in the, albeit somewhat limited information that we have already that makes me want to run out and by the PS4 straight away. I'll probably keep my PS3 a decent while and let the four come down in value a bit before I inevitably cave and get one. As long is GTA is out on the PS3 though. That'll be pretty crucial to me, and I'd be really surprised if it wasn't. I mean, isn't it supposed to be out in September? And the PS4 not til later? Edit: Yeah, the Rockstar site says it'll be on the PS3 and 360 in September when its released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's pretty much my thought. It feels a lot like a new console just for the sake of it. It's not like most PS3 games even come close to pushing the boundary on what it can do graphically, so now we're getting what looks to be a sub-par PS4, just because "it's that time" rather than for any real reason. The PS4 should at least do 4k natively in games and video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgehead Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'll defo be waiting a while until the price comes down a bit & they've sorted the teething problems they always seem to have with new consoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This is just a thread for the new Ps4 when it comes out, your thoughts and opinions on it and the games you will be buying.This is not a thread for anti Xbox One comments or anything Xbox related. PS4 BUNDLES ANNOUNCED A games console isn't much use without some games to play on it, and with digital downloads hardly being flavour-of the-month you'll probably want a nice shiny disc with your PS4 – and possibly some extra peripherals too. With that in mind, Sony has now announced its official bundle deals, so you can get such additions for a little less. The first two packs simply bundle a copy of either Killzone Shadow Fall or Watch Dogs with the basic console pack (which includes a single controller). Amazon are selling both of these packs for £389, a saving of £10 off the company's price for the separate items. It's hard to knock these deals, except that you'll have to choose your game well before any reviews become available, though we doubt either of these will be poor and you'll certainly be able to move them along on eBay for what you pay should you feel the need. The third pack bundles the console with two controllers, PS4 Camera and a copy of Killzone Shadow Fall. At Amazon's own prices these would cost £508 but are discounted here down to £449, a considerable saving of £59. However, to date Sony has done little to talk-up the capabilities, unlike Microsoft with the Kinect. We're not yet aware of Killzone supporting the PS4 Camera in any game-specific ways, and it doesn't have split-screen multiplayer, so your accessories will need other games to play with. In short, unless you're really keen we'd give this larger pack a miss and simply buy more games PS4 RELEASE DATE AND STOCK The PS4 release date has now been announced, with the UK and much of Europe receiving the console on the 29th of November, two weeks after the US launch date of November the 15th - the Japanese launch date has surprisingly been set back till February. PS4 PRICE The PS4 will cost £349 in the UK, EUR399 in mainland europe and $399 dollars in the US PS4 SPECS Here's the official listing of the PS4 specification as it stands Main Processor: Single-chip custom processor CPU: x86-64 AMD 'Jaguar' 8 cores GPU: 1.84 TFLOPS, AMD next-generation Radeon™ based graphics engine Memory: GDDR5 8GB Hard Disk Drive: Built-in 500GB Size and weight: 305x53x275mm and 2.8kg Optical Drive (read only): BD 6xCAV DVD 8xCAV I/O and communication: Super-Speed USB (USB 3.0) AUX Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Bluetooth® 2.1 (EDR) AV output: HDMI Digital Output (optical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
