So anyone in for a pool bet. Everyone guesses the price of the PS4, sends me the money. Closest person to the actual price gets the pool.

Only catch is that we have to get enough money for me I mean the winner to get a PS4.

On a more serious note, I enjoyed the presentation. And commenting about it with people in the shoutbox.

I don't use those for tears

Yeah, the Wii remote was a bit of a flop, but the change from NES to SNES was good, and the change from N64 to GC was also good.
And of course, Wii remote to Wii Pro.

Sony's only made one significant change to their controllers.. Ever. With the PS2, adding dual sticks

Actually the change was when they released the DualShock for the orginal Playstation. (Few games supported it, but it's the same desing as the one used in PS2)

Stop correcting me my point still stands :|

Like it's probably $430 USD. That's the current rumor and it has quite a lot of credit now that it's source also leaked the PS4 controller.

...PS3 was a complete failure to me and I have to say.. this one looks like it will to. It just might be best if sony gives up and lets the playstation rest in peace as one of those great consuls of the past....

You'd do well to explain!

Don't know how things are in the first world, but here we are not even near of having 4k TVs. It's not like you can find them on sale or anything. Heck, even 3D TVs are not that common as far as I know

By the way, I found quite interesting that Sony decided to use a PC-like architecture, maybe it's trying to playing it safe by using a more well stablished architecture (over the non-developer friendly ps2 and ps3 architectures) which should make ports easy.

3D TVs are ubiquitous in Singapore. Since Sony is all about "future" and they DO have a 4k TV on display (I think for sale as well) over here at Orchard, they could certainly consider adding 4k into the PS4.

But it's just too early.

Yes, the PC architecture kinda surprised me there. I remember the PS3 structure to be really weird and unique. I guess devs now have an easier time on the PS4.

 

[Janthran]

Actually a touchpad is a pretty significant change.

I'd also like to just make a few notes on the developer list (image from the front page):

• Falcom: prowler boner alert.
• Yager: I'd love a good Spec Ops: The Line type game.
• No Kojima Productions. Konami is on there though, dunno if that covers Kojima Productions too. EDIT: Just surprised there's no Kojima Productions due to the mysterious Phantom Pain, MGS: Ground Zeroes, and they have a VERY distinct logo.
• Platinum Games.
• Grasshopper Manufacture aka Suda51. No More Heroes, stuff like that.
• LucasArts: Star Wars 1313?
• I'm really surprised they got Sony on board.

More:

• Paradox Interactive: really surprising as they've basically been a PC publisher.
• Level-5. Never found their games too interesting but they did the recent Ni no Kuni which got exclusively localized for the PS3.

I really think the PS4 will not be more than $500. Sony said that they didn't want to repeat the mistake they had with the PS3.
Remember the Vita's launch when everyone thought it would be $300-$400? (3G is $300 but still)

My guess would be $429 for the base model (maybe 350GB or so?) and $499 for the higher-end.

$430 is my bet. Not to shabby a price either.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

so the same people that always makes games for them but not only that for every other console ?

Well there's some interesting ones (like Paradox) but it's a strong indicator of games to come. Like Falcom, you can expect a Legend of Heroes or Ys possibly. Platinum Games is always anticipated, stuff like that.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Well, I might as well empty out my bank account now and preorder this bitch. I will be getting this at launch.

Sorry, Microsoft, I have different needs now, and you don't even come close to fulfilling them.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Paradox seem strange to be there their games aren't really Console friendly

Exactly my point.

Also still putting spaces before question marks Stevetry?

 

[Gh0sti]

They pulled a Nintendo and only showed the controller like Nintendo did with the Wii U im impressed with specs but it must be super expensive plus Piracy might be a thing of the past since games are going to be download only

A console unfriendly developer developing for consoles? It's almost a Paradox.
