Okay dokey, welcome to the Australian Live Blog of this PlayStation thing I’ve been hearing so much about. Above this post is the stream itself! We’ve separated them so you don’t have to constantly refresh the video to get the live blog! Get porridge, get hype!
Porridge picture from Shutterstock
9.30 So, how we all feeling in here? What are we expecting? What do you want to see, what do you not want to see? Let us know in the comments below!
9.35 And while we’re waiting, you might want to check this out!
Okay, that’s my first and final cheap link!
Also — lol Lambomann: “My porridge is ready!”
9.37 Do I have time for a last minute pee?
[Thinks about it…]
YES. YES I DO.
9.40 So how do you guys and girls take your porridge? I’m a milk and honey man. My Dad still bloody puts salt on his like it’s the bloody highland clearances — seriously.
9.48 I’m currently drinking a big glass of water. This is a mistake. What if I need to pee. What if I need to peeee.
9.56 (Don’t worry everyone I will totally stop talking about porridge once the event starts. I’ve just eaten a lot of porridge today and want to share my enthusiasm. I’ve had two bowls already. It’s crazy…
9.58 And now we have SOUND. HNNNNNNNG. Damn this shit be funkyyyy.
10.00 IT’S HAPPPPPEENNNNNIG!
[Gets the quickening]
THIS IS THE QUICKENNNNNING!
10.01 This video is cool and I like this song.
10.02 If they throw in a KAZ Train GIF I swear to God I’ll spontaneously combust…
10.03 The house always wins.
10.06 The ability to share and connect is important. MIGHT BE TALKING ABOUT DAT SHARE BUTTON.
10.07 PS Vita? Hmmm. This could be a long conference… now he’s talking about Sony expanding to tablets and mobile.
10.08 This would be way better if it was House MD.
10.08 Where is my next generation porridge?
10.09 PS4! Alright, at least it’s definitely being announced.
10.11 Casual man! He’s cool and casually dressed. He can relate to you, the video game consumer.
(I’m not a fan of that shirt.)
10.13 Talking about all the devices we own. I’m guessing we’ll be able to control the PS4 with tablets and such like. No brainer really…
10.15 This is important. Sony wants to make developers happy. Devs were not really happy with the PS3. Actually, the tech on PlayStation has always been hard to work with, according to the developers I’ve spoken to locally.
10.16 IT’S A SUPERCHARGED PC!
10.17 8GB! (JIGGAWATTS)
10.18 So the controller is the same thing we’ve seen before. Almost a little bit disappointed, but I suppose it’s a massive branded thing. Difficult to change. And the share button is real. That’s cool.
10.20 So, this is the first PlayStation 4 game in action I suppose. This looks like it might actually be quite fun. I like the idea of shape shifting. Urgh, rubbish name though.
10.24 I really, really like all this talk of quick loads, suspending play, etc. This is a huge barrier to me as a parent, and as a human being. It’s one of the main reason I spend a lot of time playing mobile games. Good stuff.
10.25 The idea of video sharing has been around for a while. I honestly don’t know how important it is. I don’t think it’s a game changer in anyway. It’ll probably make my job easier though, so there’s that!
10.27 This guy looks like he hasn’t slept in the last 15 years.
10.29 And so the human version of Gollum leaves the stage. PS4 sounds interesting. I’m glad that ease of use in terms of turning things off, the ability to easily pause and return to games. Liking it so far.
10.31 Oh, the PlayStation will get to know me. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN! Also, being too visible online when gaming isn’t necessarily something I want to do. I wonder if you guys, and particularly girls, feel the same…
10.33 A tall handsome, well dressed Dave Perry is now explaining how the share button works. “Users can virtually watch over your shoulder… trash talk them…” and you can get advice and TAKE OVER YOUR CONTROLLER? Wow. That is actually pretty cool!
I like some of this stuff. And I’m not sure about the other half. Interesting nonetheless.
10.36 I wondered how long it would take until folks started talking about PS Vita connectivity. I guess it makes sense, but I don’t even know where my PS Vita is right now. In my bedside cabinet I think!
10.37 The want to make every game play on the PS4 transferable to the PS Vita. That sounds insane. I’ll believe it when I see it, etc.
10.39 I’m starting to get a little bit antsy here. I would like to see some games please. This is a games console.
Oh, I spoke too soon. Looks like the games are coming up now…
10.42 Randy Pitchford looking for something ‘elegant’ — I think that’s a good word. It suggests a depth beneath the simplicity. That’s the kind of thing I’m looking for in games, it’s what these guys are looking for in terms of architecture I suppose.
The idea of immediacy is important. There’s a lot of competition for my time nowadays.
10.45 This is all just buzzwords really. Time to get to the meat of it for real. I’ve heard enough buzz words to last me a lifetime.
10.46 Semi-casual guy. He’s casual. But not too casual, so you know he means business!
10.47 Okay dokey — seems like the games are coming. Good stuff.
Oooh, a new Killzone game?
10.50 This looks good. Difficult to tell how good. But yeah, it’s still Killzone. And I actually quite like Killzone.
Actually I take it back, this looks pretty fantastic. Large scale stuff. Pretty epic — hate that word, but it makes sense in this context. Massive battles, explosions. High fidelity obviously. It all looks pretty good. The zooming out of the city thing is incredible to be fair. Reminds me of that brilliantly large scale Halo: Reach level, but bigger.
But ultimately, I’m a little tired of shooting people in the face.
10.59 Sorry Chrome just crashed on me. Bloody hell Chrome — you had ONE JOB!
11.00 Alright, not really feeling enthusiastic about another shooty game and another racey game. Maybe I’m just dead inside.
11.02 Alright we have the shootey game and the racey game. Where’s my punchey game?
11.05 Serious man is serious. He went to a rally when he was a student once. SERIOUS BUSINESS.
Oh wait, no. Superheroes!
11.06 Sucker Punch game! About superheroes. I take back my cynicism! I take it all back!
11.07 It’s actually an Infamous game, and I think that’s it from Sony, for first party at least. Seems like it.
11.09 Oh wow, bringing on Jonathan Blow. Taking the piss out of explosions. Urgh. Why does he have to be so pompous all of the time.
But yeah, I’m really excited about The Witness. Been looking forward to this for a long time. Hopefully we’ll get some sort of actual demo.
11.14 Looks great — got the whole puzzle upon puzzle making a bigger puzzle thing. Love the art style. No idea what’s going on to be perfectly honest but looking forward to it. Nice antidote for the all the generic stuff.
11.15 Looks like David Cage isn’t here to show off a game, just to talk shit. Fine by me I guess. It’s easy to take the piss, but I like what he does and I’m interested in what he has to say at all times.
11.18 David Cage is showing off a character model that I simply refuse to believe will be in any game. No way. That’s just far too detailed for real. Looks amazing though.
11.20 Alex Evans from Media Molecule is on stage talking about how he want to let us record our dreams. This just got ’emotion engine’ levels of weird.
11.22 They’re going to make us use the Move controller to record our dreams. Really. REALLY? THIS IS A HARD SELL ALEX!
11.23 And there it is. I really need to pee. ARGH!
11.24 Back to the programme — I really don’t know what this Media Molecule thing is, who it’s for, what it’s for? What’s going on here. Not a good presentation if you ask me.
11.26 Jesus christ. It’s like they want people to make GIFs of the conference. Have they become self aware? Are they deliberately trying to create GIFable moments?
11.27 Yoshinori Ono is onstage being absolutely insane as usual. This guy is amazing. I have no idea what he is talking about. Not Street Fighter though apparently.
11.30 Sorry, seriously had to run to the toilet. I promise I washed my hands… or did I!
11.31 Alright, back on topic — new engine from Capcom. Looks like they’re using it to build new IP. Brilliant. It looks like Dark Souls! This is a good thing!
Pre-rendered footage. Has to be.
They’re also hinting at the social integration thing with a message from… Blanka?
11.35 Oh, Square Enix — maybe this means… no, it can’t be!
Well this demo looks very pretty. Great action, blah blah blah. But it tells us precisely nothing. Cool world building though. Is this something Square Enix are actually working on?
11.40 This tell us nothing about anything. It’s useless. It’s not even a game announcement. It’s just… random images really.
I guess it looks pretty.
11.42 I think I’m probably just being a little too cynical. Can’t help myself. To be fair — this is about as much as you probably could expect from a launch like this.
11.45 Oh hell yes, they’re about to talk about Watch Dogs. Yes, been waiting for this. PORRIDGE HYPE.
“You’re going to be able to control ALLLLLLLLLL OFFF ITTTTTT”
Goddamn this guy is terrifying.
11.48 Alright this is cool. I’ll type more once it’s done!
11.51 Okay this feels like something I can legit get excited about. Really clever with how it presents info, super interactive. Feels like a proper leap forward in terms of design and visuals. Very, very excited about this game. At one point the main character actually hacks a train, stops it, gets on top and then starts the thing again. Just clever, wish-fulfillment stuff.
11.57 Personally I think Diablo III coming to consoles this late in the game is pretty underwhelming to be perfectly honest.
11.58 Oh I think he’s talking about Bungie!
11.59 Of course I was right!
12.00 Something about Destiny just isn’t sitting right with me. I want to be excited but I’m just not there yet. I need more information on this game to be perfectly honest.
12.02 Destiny will have exclusive content on the PS4. But what does that mean? There will most likely be other exclusive content on other platforms. Urgh. I just like complete things, is that so wrong?
12.05 Just a release date — HOLIDAY SEASON. No price.
Okay, that’s it. Thanks for hanging around with me, it’s been fun. I don’t even mind the vocal minority porridge haters. You’re still alright in my book!
There’s plenty more PS4 news kicking about the site, so have a look around. See you all later!
That looks like a hot bowl of vomit.
YOU LOOK LIKE A HOT BOWL OF VOMIT
a Final Fantasy 7 Reboot as a launch title?
They’ve already said they’re not doing that until they release a new FF title that is as well received as the series used to be.
So Never? 🙁
Simple – they just have to make one as good as the series used to be.
So they can ruin it?
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Haha, yeah a bad FFVII remake would really be doom for squeenix.
I don’t want to see 3D
Take off the glasses then!
Smartassius
How you doing Doc?
I’M HYPE! HOW ABOUT YOU SPAG?
Pretty hype
Not as hype as you
Restricting my capital letters to the START OF EACH SENTENCE
WHOOPS, MY HYPE SLIPPED IT’S LEASH
Or stab out on of your eyes
My porridge is ready.
I might be even more hyped that I was for the Wii U announcement and I’m a Ninty fan-boy!
cant wait what Sony will announce..hope its good news for hardcore PS fans and for all gamers alike
Last Guardian, Metal Gear Solid 5. There was something else too, but I forget what.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII!
That’s not a real game. It’s just a tool for marketing toiletry products.
No no nooooo, unless it’s still on PS3.
I’m hoping for Kingdom Hearts 3 (which has now successful skipped a generation), but it’s not a big hope.
Something from Naughty Dog, something from Sucker Punch, and some honey to drizzle on the porridge.
I would lose my shit for a new proper Jak and Daxter!
INFAMOUS 3 OR GTFO
Naughty dog!
At this point, I don’t think they’d dare make it anything other than a PS4 announcement, but imagine if this was all just Vita related…
It would be a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions
turns out they’re just announcing an add on for the ps3 that makes it backwards compatible again.
Sorry, but that would be the best news ever. Ever.
I’d like to think everyone would be happy with that.
I’m kind of hoping they can expand on the ps move … it was a pretty fun motion controller the one time I used it after I bought it.
If the speculations and leaks were correct, it’ll be integrated into that ‘hideous’ controller.
Yeah I’d heard that, but I don’t really know how well that would transfer to motion gaming. The wand was useful because depending on how it was held/what case it was in it could be used as various things … you can’t really use a standard controller as a sword or a sportsball racquet
I bought a PS2 game online yesterday. Don’t actually know where my PS2 is…
Looking for someone to stir my porridge.
I’m genuinely, properly excited. This is fun.
Infamous 3. Uncharted 4 as launch titles.
That’d be day one purchase for me. In fact, it’d be day-whenever I can preorder
I’d pre order today.
I’m calling it Now, Crash Bandicoot, Wipeout and Riiiiidge Racer as launch titles.
Watch dogs and that game where you mess around with people’s memories (can never remember it’s name.
‘Remember Me’. You almost had it!
I really should be working…. but this is consuming my thoughts!
On Holiday’s!
watching the live stream on my Mac, with this open on Le iPad.
Can’t wait!
It’s all lies! PS4 to come out mid-2014 and be half as powerful as they say it will be.
Sony just trying to stop people from investing in the next Xbox which will be out first.
Sony to jump first and overshadow the next Xbox announcement with ridiculous promises and then under-deliver once both consoles are out.
ITS A CRAZY CONSPIRACY!!!
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS HERE PEOPLE
REVERSE VAMPIRES
I think it’s time to dump the Move and move towards a gesture control system. Something that challenges innovation on both sides.
THATS NOOOR HOW YOU MAKE PORRIDGE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTcA-e6bqVY
Great, now i want porridge.
Comment removed.
No, you shut up. the event hasn’t started yet ferchrissakes
Boo this man. The event hasn’t started yet numbnuts.
I removed it, cause it could have been worded better, (It’s early), but seriously, no one is hear to discuss porridge options, maybe use this time to go into your thoughts about what they’re going to announce or something topic related.
I can also live blog my breakfast, doesn’t mean people will care.
You think he’ll be talking about porridge once the event starts?
Not the point I am trying to make.
… I only came because there was a picture of porridge and I hoped to encounter other porridge enthusiasts
UPVOTE
This actually made me laugh pretty hard. Bravo sir.
In all seriousness, I’m just joking around. I don’t want this to be like every other dull liveblog on the net that’s all. 🙂
Alright I’m sorry. Its not even 7am yet here in WA yet, I haven’t had my morning coffee.
Hahaha! No worries. Wash that coffee down with some delicious porridge.
Porridge is gross, have some Bacon instead!
Whoa SALT on porridge? That’s… interesting. I remember having it with a bit of yogurt and brown sugar. Haven’t had it in over a decade though…
Announcement leaked!
PSX-2!
The fact that the stream is called ‘Playstation Live – English’ makes me wonder if the console will simply be called Playstation Live?
Doesn’t Vita mean life?
Porridge with golden syrup and buttered toast in it, like a boss!
I normally go brown sugar on my porridge … unless I’ve got those quick oats things, then I try to get the apple and cinnamon ones. Damn they’re delicious
Good choice.
I love that you responded to a comment about what topping to put on porridge
Please never change #OldManSerrels
Quick oats fans unite!
i like making porridge with water instead of milk, then adding some milk and brown sugar after
Milk, honey and coco powder. Best way,
RE: bladder functions. Don’t you have any spare potties lying around you could’ve taken to work with you? 😛
Last Guardian as a launch title.
FF XIII Versus has been rebranded FFXV. Launch Title.
God of War: Generic Angry Man. Launch Title.
PS+ members will have access to entire PS3 library streamed to PS4, otherwise no PS2/3 back compatibility. Software emulation of PS1 for BC (i.e. no additional hardware for BC).
PS3 was supposed to be “future proof”, so I’m not expecting anything special in terms of hardware specs. No doubt we’ll get promised the world though.
Edit: Chad Warden walks out onto stage, “I’m talkin bout that Pee Ess Quatro, bitches.”
that idea of PS3 game streaming is a good one that I’d not thought of
STOP TALKING ABOUT PEEING MARK NOW I NEED TO PEE
UPVOTE #2
Ma maw an paw put salt in their porridge. Me? I like a wee bit of strawberry jam up in that shit.
Doc what bringing the fancy
Waterfalls and rivers and streams, oh my!
I’m calling it here, Another version of the ps3, but one that is streaming only. No ps4 announcement
To pee or not to pee, that is the question.
The answer;
Adult diapers.
More important than the Sony announcement, today I learned that Mark has the bladder of a pregnant woman.
My porridge is ready!!
That stupid video loop is killing me! HURRY UP!
Scary thought
What if they announced they were splitting up
This is going to be their last gig ever
Massive send off show
All the classic hits and special guests you know and love
And then, just before the end of the event, the reanimated beatles appear
And perform with the hologram of Kurt Cobain?
Beatles 😀
@mawt, Tupac gotta be there, and Biggie 😉
FUNKY ELEVATOR MUSIC
I HAVE PORRIDGE TOO! We are twins!
Ooh, ratings info … Can’t be too far away
It’s a Skrillex concert!
mine is still off air????
yep…
+1 on this track they put together
They’ve dropped some serious $$
OMG PSONE STARTUP NOISE
It aint wurkin’!
anyone got a working link.. Ustream isn’t right.. what is Marking using to watch this.
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/02/20/today-watch-playstation-meeting-2013-live-at-6pm-eastern-time/
http://www.gametrailers.com/netstorage/psmeeting/index.html
Does anyone know if we have to refresh the page to see updates, or will they load automatically?
I like my porridge with a generous serving of cinnamon sugar.
Brown sugar is also good. So is honey. But I’m a fiend for cinnamon.
its official, PS4
Doesn’t work at all:(
The PS4 is designed to deliver new business models.
Awesome work guys!
This bloke is talking a lot of shit. All I hear is buzz words.
glad i’m not the only one bugged by the overuse of buzzwords.
PS4 huh? Well at least the launch font is better this time.
Multi-dimensional experiences hey?, cool
there is confirmation of the Playstation 4 name.
#porridge4
He said over the coming HOURS didnt he…
The awkward giggle and “that isn’t how we rehearsed!” when he had new idea where the new guy was, that was pretty good.
awesome… It’s simply called the PS4… Now it’s your turn Microsoft, don’t fuck up the name of the next Xbox like Nintendo did with the Wii U.
Xbox 3600 ftw
XBOX SIXTY-FOOOUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Casual man is shitting me, he’s so damn irritating
Dexy DS4!
New controller looks better than the last one, far more ergonomic
Terrible looking controller and a “stereo camera that can track the depth of the player” — ha!
Oooooh, cool
Holy crap on the RAM info!
I just instantly remembered how much I hate these things. The douche-bag salesmen….. the “media” fanboys in the audience…..
Urrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggg!
AHhhhhh i’m turning it off! I just can’t deal with…. this…… guy…….. and…….. his…….soft……voice… and…. slow…… elocution.
Why can’t they get decent public speakers? This guy shoulds like an overly enthusiastic year 9 girl.
They should have gone with Personalized, Simple, Sudden, Social, and (an S word meaning Integrated) – PS4.
The sound on the Ustream stream keeps dropping out.
I swear this guy is on crack. Look at the size of his eyes man!
Ustream brokeded on me too, but cnet has a nice live stream (interrupted with some commentary, but not bad) — http://new.livestream.com/cnet/playstationevent
Also as someone else posted:
http://www.gametrailers.com/netstorage/psmeeting/index.html
THIS IS THE WORST LIVE BLOG EVER. I DON’T WANT COMMENTARY, I WANT INFORMATION, PHOTOS, ANYTHING. HOW AM I GETTING MORE INFO FROM TWITTER TROLLS THAN A GAMING WEBSITE.
So many features that would be nearly unusable on the current Australian internet infrastructure.
NBN mate. I’ll be rocking 100mps up/40mps down by the end of the year.
**100mps down/ 40mps up
I’m honestly kinda underwhelmed. Graphically it looks a little better, but not by much.
don’t really give a crap about all the “social” features.
I guess I’d need to see some more games
Knack seems kinda cool, but it looks like it could be ps3.
The system won’t be fully realised for a couple of years. The launch titles for xbox 360 and PS3 look like dog sh*t in comparison to today’s games.
Rocket and I are really hopeing they don’t force you to link it to facebook.
So for those of us having difficulty accessing the video stream, will you actually tell us whats going on or is this just a bunch of unrelated comments?
http://www.gametrailers.com/netstorage/psmeeting/index.html
There you go.
I can only view on my mobile… the link goes to nothing but a “follow” button
Ahh ok sorry.
Not sure in that case. I was having problems with all other streams other then the gametrailers one.
Thanks anyway mate – I appreciate the effort
It would just be nice if the person writing the blog could actually tell us whats happening there – all the stuff I know about the machine I’ve read on other sites because this blogger is more interested in writing things like
10.39
I’m starting to get a little bit antsy here. I would like to see some games please. This is a games console.
And yes hasnt told us any specs, the five principles, the outline of the PSN network, the logo (which i’ve read and seen on other sites)
Bah! I know it’s only to be expected but seriously remote play availability to a tablet would be more awesome!
When will I ever want someone else to take over my controller?
Loving the idea of being able to play all previous PS games on the PS4. Will believe it when I see it though. Also on mobile devices. That would be pretty sweet.
That cloud games idea is pretty cool
So the HYPE TRAIN has pulled into the station
All the passengers are disembarking
Their loved ones are holding up signs with their names on them
And then, slowly, the HYPE TRAIN leaves the station
It blows its whistle
HYPE! HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Not to be seen for many more years
@markserrels ^ I wrote a poem 😀
it’s beautiful … you have me tearing up, Spaghett
Thanks Tofu 😀
http://imgur.com/svvHBhU
The killzone video proves how awful aiming with a controller is.
It’s really not that bad once you get used to it.
I know, I’m just stirring, but I don’t often shoot into the middle of nowhere with a mouse…
This is true 🙂
The only time I’ll use “cockpit” view is when I have an Occulus Rift on my head…
New Infamous, wooo!
Now where’s our Uncharted game!?!?!?!?!?
i dunno, but i want more of cole story, he’s net dead yet
Depending whether you went good or evil karma….Cole might be a big part of it anyway
lets hope so, i really enjoyed playing as cole
This guy’s teeth creep me out…
give us Uncharted 4, please?
The more people ask for it, the more it becomes an xbox exclusive
Dare I say I’m actually okay with that?
On that note – is the last of us multi platform? TO GOOGLE.
Pretty sure Naughty Dog is a Sony-exclusive developer.
It would be interesting.
Unfortunately not, Naughty Dog’s a first party sony developer and tend to be pretty exclusive
URGH, Blow.
Holy. Crap. That face is pretty incredible.
Also “All the polygons!”
I can’t really watch the livestream at work, so all I have to go on is marks porridge fuelled notes … woo for new killzone and infamous, boo-urns for David Cage. He’s a decent enough game director with the whole “games/hour long QTEs as art” thing but his stance on games annoys me
no no no no NOT THE MOVE NO STOP NO
behold the power of wii motion plus with a light up globe on it!
WAH HA HA HA!!!
MM just stole the show
Wow. You’re right. Amazing stuff 🙂
Really? It’s move… it’s motion capture of a single point. Hardly ground breaking. Looks like the software does all the interpolation and animation.
Pretty much the ‘simple’ ‘elegance’ they were trying to sell us to start with, then. The potential for this software is really genuinely impressive. Finally, some innovation with the Move tech.
I guess I think that Kinect has more potential than a wii controller with a light on top.
I want to sculpt – not take lessons to learn to sculpt is the point. Putting creative power into the hands of the user was always the point of LBP.
Media Molecule stuff is interesting enough. Kind of like Little Big Planet 2’s user tools taken to the next mega-level.
Capcom guy is hilarious
Someone give the capcom dude some porridge!
Looks like Dragon’s Dogma to me.
Goddamn, Squeenix! Disappoint much
This is the same tech demo they showed like three months ago, Mark. Pretty sure they’re not working on a game with it.
Watching Ustream numbers plummet
Squeenix demo is an old one…
Announcement coming at E3.
Suggestion for next time Mark, a text based live stream would be nice.
I think you’ve previously done that kind of thing before, just a very brief synopsis of what’s been said in the last two minutes with a little bit of comment attached.
This method of having random community members updating sporadically isn’t great for tracking the conference.
Just a thought.
“Our next-gen title, Watch Dogs”.
Damn Square enix, i want Kingdom Hearts 3
Finally… More Watch Dogs
Porridge? Seriously? Are you guys like really poor or something? Isn’t it the middle of summer? Bit warm for porridge, me thinks. Its festy anyway, never really got into the stuff. BTW, this presentation looks pretty shit so far..
Boo for porridge haters
Boo or boo urns?
Yay watchdogs – if this turns out to be good, it will be the main reason I buy a PS4 (unless its out on PC too….)
Was hoping I could read this instead of watching the video but I guess not. Should probably have just kept an eye on someone intelligent’s twitter feed, they would probably have actually told me what features were being implemented and what games were being announced.
GameTrailers are claiming they believe Hideo Kojima is lurking around.
So in honour of that..
!Some of these guys take themselves way too seriously — particularly the ones giving the introductions to the new infamous and watch dogs.
Less and less sure about whether to laugh or cringe at how intense they’re behaving.
Watch Dogs looks fucking awesome though!
I know!!!!!
WTF
Blizzard!
Well that sucked.
Wow blizzard…. that’s a surprise
diablo confirmed for ps4
So the rumours were true
Well this explains why they totally gimped Diablo III.
I think many people expected this would happen.
ERRR MAHHH GERRRD HERSHBERG!
Oh no! its the jeans and jacket squad!
Aww, they look so awkward 😛
Also meh about Destiny. Gimme Marathon 4… or remake Durandal.
All this talk of cross platform and multiple devices is really annoying if you don’t release PC versions too….
And after all of that we don’t even get to see the actual console?!?!?
WTF??!?!
Holiday 2013 is a season now?
@markserrels I think they said Destiny will be a 10 year running perpetual world. So that’s like “finishing” everything in Wow….
Is it sad that what excited me most was Watch Dogs which i will be picking up for PC anyway? While Killzone LOOKED nice, the gameplay looks pretty standard…
So, how many people completely filled out their buzzword bingo boards?
They didn’t even show the unit! Just a bunch of games! Not even gameplay videos! URGHGHGH WASTE OF TIME
So i waited around 2 hours for a bunch of tech demos, an hour of philosophy bullshit, and so many buzz words that bees are getting jealous… And no console reveal? No price? What the fuck Sony!?
When things like this are omitted, one of two things has usually happened:
1) Things haven’t been finalised yet (design, price, etc); or
2) There’s some bad news they are going to break as quietly as possible.
What, they didn’t show the console?!
They don’t have it finished yet. They were running it off an old dell.
What you heard at the end was the sound of half a million people simultaneously going WTF?
The whole conference was like masturbation without the payoff. I can’t jerk it over an idea, I need some over-priced piece of plastic with marginally better hardware for a full release.
Brilliant, now that’s over. I say it’s time for more porridge talk. Do you like it runny and swimming in liquid or brick mortar consistency?
The world must know
So.. no actual system reveal…
How can we know those ‘tech demos’ weren’t being played on a PC?
HA! What did I say before it started?
“It’s all lies! PS4 to come out mid-2014 and be half as powerful as they say it will be.
Sony just trying to stop people from investing in the next Xbox which will be out first.
Sony to jump first and overshadow the next Xbox announcement with ridiculous promises and then under-deliver once both consoles are out.
ITS A CRAZY CONSPIRACY!!!”
They didn’t even show the console itself. A bunch of tech demos and a controller. No console, a rough release date, no price….. This shit was rushed out to take the heat off the Xbox announcement.
By going first they can talk all the shit they want, make the Xbox announcement seem dull in comparison (you can’t talk as much shit if you’re going to have to back it up first), and by the time the PS4 is actually released all people are going to note is that both consoles are quite similar but it will negate the Xbox’s advantage of launching first by making people think the PS4 will be heaps better.
The PS4 is nowhere near finished. Remember when they announced the PS3 and by the time it came out they had removed a bunch hardware elements (ports and stuff I think)? Expect the same thing here.
/End crazy conspiracy
But that’s not how you make porridge..
