I thought you were talking about a son. As in ... a dad's son.
Clocky, it takes three seconds or less to check your grammar.

If she did that she wouldn't be the crock pot we know and love.

Anywho, I'm hoping the PS3 isn't gonna be one huge gimmick. I'm already hesitant to get it based on the rumors that they'll be DRMing their games

Those are just rumors I'm sure. They can't possibly be this retarded.

Oh wait

Bzzit · Feb 03, 2013 12:41 PM

Im predicting Uncharted 4 as a launch game!

Clock-la · Feb 03, 2013 2:17 PM

I hope it not like uncharted 3 i mean i did like uncharted 3 but at the end they just gave up and repeted stuff from uncharted 2 sad

DarkMaster · Feb 04, 2013 5:13 AM

NOOOO IT'S TOO SOON. PS3 is still going strong.

Clock-la · Feb 04, 2013 5:37 PM

With ni no kuni :3

SilverDragon7 · Feb 05, 2013 3:39 AM

they wont release or even begin to actually build a ps4 until a few more years have passed. there are very few people who can even afford a ps3 right now so there is no reason to release another high-priced item that no one can afford when they have one that is selling somewhat decently considering the financial situations of most people and the game library is not nearly as big as the ps2's was when it got replaced. i think the ps3 is safe for a few more years at the very least.

also Clock-la don't make me hop on a plane to England a put a Texas sized beat down on you for that bad language. lol

Swaffy · Feb 05, 2013 4:24 AM

You live in Texas too?

Clock-la · Feb 05, 2013 4:19 PM

You bleepin try and stop me you bleepin bleep big_smile

What? PS3 will still be on sale for a few more years just like PS2 did after PS3 was released. Sony's stock is soaring at the moment (Up from $10b to $16b in just a couple months) and they need to launch PS4 at around the time Microsoft launches the next Xbox (Which will inevitably come within the year).

Also PS3 is very cheap at the moment compared to most other tech, and "most" people, as in Sony's target audience, can afford one. Heck there are iPads that cost twice as much as PS3 and Apple has no issues selling those.

What Sony can't afford to do is allow Microsoft to get an edge like they did in this generation. Not to mention that I believe they stated that they would not be last to the market again. Even if it doesn't launch until 2014, it would be suicide for them to wait "a couple more years."

DragonFireOKN · Feb 20, 2013 11:47 PM

Double-post, but this is big news. PS4 was just announced in New York.

Clock-la · Feb 21, 2013 12:03 AM

yikes im hearing the news on twitter, is it true? No ps3 games on ps4? sad

Here's all the news. The page updates live from the top.

And yes, no PS3 games, but they are "exploring options"

Mr. John · Feb 21, 2013 2:06 AM

Mondo cool announcement.

Playstation 4 will be awesome new controller as well won't get it. But it will be awesome!

Swaffy · Feb 21, 2013 4:52 AM

Not really anything fancy.

The whole "Resume your game later! Just hit the power button!" is basically
a revamp of Window's hybernate feature (The information loaded into the
RAM is stored on the hard drive before hybernation, then is loaded back
into RAM upon wake-up).

Downloading in the background - already done by the Xbox 360.

The UI (user interface) looks similar to Windows 8's Start menu. Wut.

Okay, something fairly nice. You can watch your friend play his game.
Sounds like a video lagfest, but it works.

Social networking, blah blah...

By the way, the 6:00 PM area sounded like just a bunch of bluff trying to
get people excited. Didn't excite me, I wanted to see the real deal.

They got to the hardware part. Hmm, "X86 CPU". So it basically has a 64-
bit processor. That's basically in every modern computer. Lets talk about
how many physical cores it has; is it an AMD that puts out a crap load of
heat or is it an Intel that uses hyperthreading and puts out less heat? And
RAM, 8 GB (gigabytes) of RAM, that's pretty much basic for today's prices
for RAM (you can get 12 GB for a good price). Oh, then this "enhanced PC
GPU", they're just trying to sound fancy again. Anything can have
"enhanced" slapped to it, show us the real specs. How much RAM does this
GPU have? What about its GHz? Oh, and this "supercharged PC
architecture" is really just a modern motherboard. Most motherboards are
coming standard with PCI Express, I don't see what's special about it.

"Remote Play" looks like an altered version of Window's "Remote Desktop".

No support for PS3 and earlier games?

Whoever posted those live messages doesn't even look excited himself.

Then they get into Killzone ... just to let you know that Halo 4 practically
stood up to those effects/graphics. And think about how old the Xbox
360's hardware is.

[hr:1696f831ca]
Base line, I wanted to learn some pretty cool stuff about this new PS4, but
I'm not seeing anything that gets close to breathtaking. It just seems like
the system is getting closer to being an ordinary tower PC.

[Pre-edit] "A console which watches your activity and auto-downloads
things it wants you to buy, in case you forgot."
Forget it. Not worth the money.
