Playstation Meeting, Feb. 20th

[Yggdrasil]

Didn't got free money. I really needed $10 too to buy dumb DLC stuff... oh well, maybe they were doing this as damage control just in case. :p

[Taelus]

Dammit Sony, I've owned your consoles since you first MADE them! Why I no get $10?

[Kevadu]

I know some people have speculated that it's related to how much you've spent on the PSN Store.  That's easier to track, anyway.  So if you're only buying physical games I guess that wouldn't matter...

[Klyde Chroma]

Woo-Hoo!! Got my 10 bucks :) Now I don't feel so bad about all the compile hearts DLC I've downloaded over the course of the last year.....

That could be. Although I've been on PS+ forever and I THOUGHT I had bought a good amount of stuff, but maybe not in comparison to others. I COULD HAVE USED THIS TO BUY SOMETHING CHRONO CROSS FOR MY VITA

PlayStation 4 announced -- Source: Gematsu

"The system is built out of a supercharged PC architecture, an X86 CPU, an enhanced PC GPU, and 8GB of GDDR5 Unified Memory."

[Taelus]

You score another point for using that image.

Also, they mentioned third-party service integration. PC architecture + Steam library available on PS4 = something we need.

[Annubis]

8GB of GDDR5 Unified Memory.

And then every Bethesda employee got up and cheered.

[Dice]

Can anyone else maybe see THe Last Guardian as part of the PS4 starting lineup?  Not shown here (hopefully E3).  I get this vibe, dunno why.

[Lard]

There's a lot of verbal masturbation in this presentation.

And a lot of superfluous social features that make me sad for single player games.

[Yggdrasil]

@Dice: It can happen. *shrug*

There's a lot of verbal masturbation in this presentation.

Stop being so salty mang. (`へ´*)

And a lot of superfluous social features that make me sad for single player games.

Oh, that I can agree with. Though... I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

[Dice]

"New FF display at E3.... Sayonara!"
That's brand power for ya...

I hate how much they say without actually saying anything.

"This system works well, it's interactive, and plays great -- you will love it!"... umok.

[Kevadu]

I don't care about social features, but I doubt they're mandatory.  And there actually is some stuff in there that looks pretty cool.  I could see myself actually using some of the spectator features.

Instant game trials (play as it's downloading) is pure win.  Suspend mode is something I've been wanting on a console for a long time (obviously handhelds do it).  The background downloading stuff isn't sexy, but it does sound useful.

Hardware specs sound great, and they're showing tons of games.  Thus far I'm actually pretty impressed.  Sony hasn't fucked this one up.

Edit: Oh yeah, actually building remote play into the system and enabling it for all games by default is awesome news.  The promise of streaming to any device is also pretty damn cool, but it sounds like that might still be a ways off.
