"PS4" announced at Playstation Meeting 2013

[spinal_cord]

The ability to play a game whilst it's being downloaded is rather an intriguing one, I must admit.

My Commodore 64 could do that in the 1980s.

I believe they are.

This might be good once it gets games.
The PS3 though doesn't have an amazing library and I can imagine this having a smaller library due to sony going downhill in terms of games.

 

[DiscostewSM]

It's not actually that high end... they already stated that the GPU is 1.84TFLOPS (which, by my estimations, is around the power of a $180 PC GPU). The 8-core AMD CPUs are around $200, and since the CPU and GPU are going to be on the same chip, I'd assume that it would be cheaper to produce. A $400-500 price range seems about right, and I doubt Sony's going to make the same mistake they did with the PS3 launch ($599 USD).

Also got to take into account the software it'll be running alongside the games, like everything involving social interaction.

I wasn't entirely impressed by the conference, but I'm sure we'll hear more when E3 comes around.

it's OK guys, Sony knows how to cure the worldwide recession when pockets are tight
release the most expensive console

 

[Osha]

Watch it bomb like the Vita because developers don't want to make games for a console nobody wants to buy for such a high price (which it's going to have, sure the hardware doesn't go over 500 bucks, which is already a lot to me, but they need to make profit out of it).

invader load!

Huh, so my 5 year old PC already blows this out of the water. Interesting, I always thought the "next gen" wouldn't be that much of an improvement. Also Blast Processor>Supercharged

Let's see what Microsoft has in store, I really doubt they would go with higher specs especially with people shying away from high console prices...and yet they'll pay so much for a tablet.

I didn't watch the whole presentation but I did see the part when the were talking about streaming and I remember the guy saying about getting streaming Playstation content on more than just the Vita. This could possibly lead to streaming games to iOS and android devices.

At least now, Microsoft won't make the mistake of coming first! (Dreamcast, Xbox 360, Wii U) While I sure do hope to buy a PS4 and whatever good games that there could be for it (Elder Scrolls Online, Portal 3, etc...) I also hope the Xbox 720 can beat the PS4 in processing speeds, hard disk capacity, etc... And a HUGE thumbs up to Nintendo for their efforts to make the Wii U a great console!

there the problem will be any Good games they have won't be PS4 Exclusive
I didn't buy a ps3 for this reason
I can't believe they're only using 32bit Processor even if at 8 cores
why they hell did they not go for 64bit Architecture

least they thought more about RAM this time LOL

As for price... Let's hope this is truly is a place holders price for Australian buyers... https://www.ebgames.com.au/featured...ium=banner&utm_campaign=hero&utm_content=home - AU $899... Glad I am not in the market for one....

Though they were not too far off for the WiiU "place holders" price if I remember correctly....

 

[Jiehfeng]

The price just keeps getting bigger
Ugh, *cries*

 

[Eerpow]

Confirmed to have BluRay 6X (8X for DVD)

That's one mystery less, innit? Also contains some basic AMD "Jaguar" chip specs.

Same as WiiU then, looks like they're very similarly structured systems with the GPGPU, CPU/GPU on the same chip and all, let's see how much more beef the PS4 will have, this presentation had games running on PC so we'll have to wait for a more accurate representation of the system's capabilities. I believe Watch Dogs will be the first game that show off the differences between the next gen systems, I'm expecting it to be like with the Xbox and the PS2.

Depending on the exclusives I might go PS4 coupled with Nintendo instead of PC/Nin. Yeah, I'm not expecting much 3rd party support for WiiU even if we don't know how that will be like.
I always preferred console gaming, it's just that PC is more stable, this time I'm not expecting a jump in graphics for the next 5 years or so, the PS4 versions should be satisfiable for whatever gets released the coming years.

 

[Deleted member 473940]

Wow, the specs!!!
Now let's see what MS came up with .

I am no fanboy of any shit, but the WiiU has been pissing me off. Thought they would fix the load times by now, but it's still so horrible -.- every loading screen... let's not even get there.

Although.. hopefully I won't have to sell an arm and a leg to afford this mofo lol.

LMAO I knew it was gonna be overpriced here we go again $ony!

Your 5-year old PC is hexacore and has GDDR5 memory? Colour me impressed.

As for the price point, it's surely a placeholder.

This thread has proved GBAtemp has too many retards.
