The PlayStation 4 is official, with Ubisoft's Watch Dogs and Bungie's Destiny will be playable on them. PlayStation players will get exclusive content. The console will be launching this Holiday season.

I missed most of the stream here because I slept in and my Internet was being a bitch again.

Killzone and Watchdogs stole the show.... Knack gave me a bad first impression. LBP creators have a cool little modeling game, though I missed most of that because I lost my connection. Not sure why they'd mention Diablo 3, it's already out and it's coming to PS3 and 4, whoopie. There was some random racing game that was, I don't know racing games are all the same. Way too much social media talk, gamers should care more about the games than sharing shit.

Overall I think it was great.... though I'm disappointed there was no picture of the system or a price tag...

....How did you "click" it?
Hmmmm... By highlighting the attachment in the message and pressing the "X" button on your controller? I don't see how you're having a problem with this lol!

My Internet was having issues as it usually does at the time. It tends to result in whatever I'm trying to post double or triple-posting. I actually didn't notice that it had done so this time around. Just deleted my duplicate.

Yeah I was trying that... the joystick and the Dpad buttons weren't doing it... I'll try again though.

Holy fucking shit, the network functionalities of the PlayStation 4 will allow you to actively spectate and even directly assist other players and the games they're playing. This was shown by Mark Cerny with his new game, Knack. This is a feature I've wanted so long in a console that this alone may be enough for me to go for it near launch.

I'd try and comment more on the meeting, but I can't pause the damn thing, as the repeats are also livestreamed, instead of being available through a standard video thingie. God dammit, Sony.

I was confused by that.... if someone is usually stuck somewhere they just go to youtube and watch that part of a walkthrough...

It's not so much the whole "help others" thing that has me excited, hell, I always want to figure shit out for myself and I'm always upset when I have to look for help. It's more that I've mentioned to Psycho over MSN a few times that I've always wanted to watch my friends play their games, but livestreaming has never been an easy venture. With the PS4, at least, the hard and confusing shit is tossed right out and just has the oppurtunity right there, waiting for you, whenever you want.

Ah.
What disappointed me was the way they made 8gb of ram seem like a big deal... even my laptop has 16gb of ram. Computers today can easily out-preform these specs... but then again Square Enix's engine might be what really makes it shine.

Wow, that sounds pretty cool. I've always found the ability to spectate other people in fighting games to be fun, but this just takes it up another 10 notches.

I really wish people wouldn't be so quick to compare consoles, which have the same specs for everyone for the entire lifetime, to PC's, which are tailored specifically to each user's needs or desires and can be upgraded pretty easily as the situation arises. Yes, both can play games, but it's kinda fucking obvious that consoles will never be able to match or surpass PC's.

That said, having 8 gigs worth of RAM for consoles is actually a pretty big deal. I can't validate my blind assumptions, but that's more or less the biggest amount of RAM a console has ever had. Console manufacturers need to make their hardware easily affordable for the vast majority of potential adopters, so they can't go all out and make it as cutting edge as PC players would prefer.

Now, let's have a proper look at the base specs Sony showed for the PlayStation 4:

You gotta admit, for a console, that'd pretty fucking impressive. Even though I lack a decent amount of understanding on the first three points. I wonder how big the HDD will be.

A lot are people are a little confused about the 8gb. I just heard that the system wont display games in 4k, but for video it will. If it had more ram... it would've been possible.

Shamelessly browsing through an SSMB thread, posting the stuff other people gawked about. I have a shit internet so I didn't watch the stream itself.

- That block in the last pic is a kinect-esque sensor that can discern the controller in a 3D environment. Because pinching every new idea Ninty has isn't enough now apparently.

- That 8bg of RAM is actually GDDR5 RAM. Supposedly this is a good thing, but I don't understand the difference personally.

- Remote play with Vita. Just in case you wanted to buy a two hundered dollar controller as opposed to a handheld.

- Not only can you stream gameplay from other users, you can actually take over their game if say, they needed help with something. I can only assume players have a means of refusing or disabling this kind of thing, for obvious connection/griefing reasons.

- Think I heard mention of built-in savestates somewhere.

- Among the games shown, new Killzone (or was it Resistance? LOL SAMEY GREY BLOOM SHOOTERS), Infamous (this time not starring Cole apparently), Gran Turismo, Watch Dogs, Diablo 3, Destiny (does this make it Bungie's first multiplat game?) and some new platformer IP. Most of them speculated (and at least one confirmed from what I'm hearing) to be pre-rendered. Supposedly the stream quality was too shit to be able to appreciate most any graphical upgrade anyway.

- Usage of Move confirmed by Media Molecule. Apparently you can do 3D sculpting with it? =\

- Squeenix teases for FF news... at E3. Funny, you might not have suspected them of stalling if they had shut the fuck up instead of dropping old techdemos and namedropping right at the end of their segment.

- Console itself and pricing wasn't shown. Guess they're waiting until E3 to reveal FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS. Supposedly that GDDR5 is really fucking expensive, so it comes as no surprise that Sony's probably digging themselves into a debt hole again.

EDIT: SPEC SHEETS AHOY

EDITEDIT: Despite having a patent for it, Sony isn't blocking used game sales. I'm sure we can all agree that's worth breathing a sigh of relief over.

Fuck it, no more EDIT tags.

Rumor had it that the price was about the same as the higher end Wii U, $400/$450

All the systems technically have 3d space navigation.
