playstation 4 announced
 

Title says it all.

Watched some of it last night, the stream kept cutting out, losing audio etc.

What I did see I wasn't too impressed with - I'm not a big fan of change, and I hate the look of the new PS4 controller. Looks expensive, meaning when you buy a PS4 for however much, a second official controller is going to be a shit-ton to buy seperately :/

The idea that the PS4 will anticipate what I want to buy from the store and download it for me? Fuck off, its like saying "you'll love this, I know you better than you know yourself"...and linking to social media? I'd rather not have my whole life advertised on the interwebs thanks.

Often what isn't said is as important as what they did say. No mention of keeping games free to play online (would have been a fantastic selling point), so PS4 owners are on an xbox live style points system I guess.

Playstation fan all my life, bought a clunky PS1 when I was 14 with some birthday cash and money saved from delivering papers :D This could be the end though, maybe I'm just getting old!

diablo 3 on consoles

blunder of the decade

didn't they release EverQuest (much altered) on the PS2? I never played it but I did laugh when I saw it in the shop :D

Yea, EverQuest Online Adventures. It was pretty successful actually, and a LOT of people were upset when its servers shut down.

This.

Also lol consoles.

I saw screenshots of Kelethin and figured it could never be as good if they'd remodelled the world. Kinda wish I'd given it a try just for curiosity's sake.

Metzen walks out.

Crowd collectively shits their pants

murmurs of "TITAN IS GOING TO BE ON PS4? WOW ON PS4?"

Metzen lifts his hands, devilish smile across his face.

"DIABLO 3 ON PLAYSTATION!"

crowd dies

diablo 3 on it...lolz to blizz and sony. game industry is fixing to shoot its feet off with all the money grabs.

personally looking forward to new xbox, been an xbox fan since the original, xbox 360 hit it out of the park imo.

was really interested to see what kind of hardware the new generation would be packing - im excited to see what is essentially a high end PC for ~400 bucks. Very cool.

Best part is that game designers will really be able to crank it up graphics wise, watchdogs looks simply amazing. But in the end, its still going to come down to gameplay - graphics only push a title so far. I'm hoping to see some new innovations coming out of this next generation.

i definitely remember seeing 360 for the first time, playing gears of war, and being simply blown away at something we are all very, very used to by now - a cover shooter. The graphics, gameplay, and overall presentation of that game back when it first came out was simply breathtaking. i remember thinking 'holy shit... if they're doing this at the beginning of this consoles lifecycle.. imagine what they'll do in a few years'.

unfortunately, from there, things didnt improve too much. Games definitely got better, but alot of games also got a LOT worse. i really want to see some new and awesome stuff on that same scale coming out in the next generation - whether it will actually happen or not remains to be seen, but titles like last of us and watchdogs definitely look promising. Here's hoping I'll find a reason to buy the new consoles this generation. Please wow me microsoft - if they have any strategic sense (and microsoft has been pretty hit and miss when it comes to that....) at all, they'll be announcing new 360 within 30 days.
