Sony reveals the Playstation 4

Watching CDjr raging on twitter over this stream, lulz

Not backward compatible from the sound of it.

Stream is fine on IGN on Youtube.

 

[Cibernetico]

So far they have not announced anything about backwards compability.

And to be honest, so far it just sounds like a more powerful system and nothing more. Nothing so far has really grabbed my attention as groundbreaking.

 

[RYX]

Well, it's not like there's much ground to break anymore.

YouTube does streaming now? I didn't even know that.

I can't wait to see the 720's dpad. That will probably be the deciding factor between which console I end up buying. Everything else is just extra for me.

 

[Cibernetico]

Games are about to be shown off.

 

[totheark]

It's like Sony revolved their development around Gaikai rather than gaming.

 

[Cibernetico]

And appropriately, a FPS is shown off first. But goddamn does this thing look amazing. Loved the draw distance graphics on it.

They said something about being able to use games from Ps1, 2 and 3, not sure if they meant through downloads or actual backwards compatability.

Nothing's confirmed but at this point I'm starting to wonder if it'll turn out it doesn't use physical media. Or at least any kind of optical disc.

I thought it was described as 'PS3 games not natively compatible with PS4'.

That would be my guess. It better have an SSD.

 

[Rathalos]

This press conference got really creepy really fast.

 

[NapoleonComplex]

1984: The game?

 

[Cibernetico]

So this is the guy who made Braid? I never played it but I heard good things about it. and yeah, his presence just seems creepy.

 

[Juggs]

Even though I don't own a PS3 or any PS3 games, the first thing I EXPECT from a next gen console is backwards compatibility. It won't affect me at all if I decide to get a PS4, but that's some epic faulsauce right there.

 

[NapoleonComplex]

So... many.. exclusives...

 

[DeathAndHealing]

ROFL!

EDIT: God the stream chat is awesome.

 

[totheark]

I don't even know...

 

[MKB]

The thing I really want to know is... can we transfer our previously downloaded files from the PSN Store over to the PS4?

 

[Rathalos]

OH SHIT ONO

 

[RYX]

I hope it's more developer friendly, sick of these crappy ports lol

 

[Cibernetico]

Why even mention the first PSP? That thign was such a damn failure unless you loved pirating games.
