    Default PS4 Press Confrence

    Thought I'd make a thread to organize everything that I got from the Sony press conference today.

    First of all confirmed system specs are:


    During the press conference the CPU was said to be 8 cores.
    GPU was said to be "high end" have DDR5 RAM. Since it's a lot like a PC, GPU developers should be able to utilize the graphics easily from launch.
    and 8 gigs of ram, holy cow.

    System specs are better than I imagined them to be. One thing is probably means is a high price at system launch. I'm honestly thinking another 600 dollar launch again. Though no price is confirmed yet, we'll have to wait till E3 for that.

    A lot of amazing exclusives, biggest news to me:

    Blizzard having a partnership with Sony now. Bring Diablo 3 to both the PS3 and PS4 for now, possible other games in the future.

    Bungie also in a new partnership with Sony. New game Destiny the new game will be available at system launch.

    Lot's of other exclusives, new infamous game, new Killzone game. Both looked pretty spectacular.


    My thoughts on everything, looks pretty impressive, I love the 360, but I think I'm switching over to Sony this generation. Exclusives look amazing, and the system looks great. They showed a master cheif statue in Destiny, so looks like it will take place after the Halo trilogy. Now everyone gets to see how amazing Bungie is, I'm going to call it now, Destiny best selling game for PS3 for the first year.

    As much as i've loved Sony over the years, console gaming has turned into a giant pile of meh for me. I'm gonna work on getting a nice gaming PC before I even bother with a new console.

    I agree PC > console. So much more you can do, games become almost completely customizable.

    I'm surprised you being a big Sony fan not jumping on this though. IMO this is sounds like an amazing console, the quality of exclusives, I mean Bungie and Blizzard? I mean I usually enjoy xbox for playstation, but I don't think I can resist this time around.

    I'm thinking the same. After dumping 600 into a PC and being able to play games for cheaper, on better graphics I can't justify buying a new console. Halo 5, Destiny, Little Big Planet, none of it can make me wanna buy it at launch :/ Maybe after they all drop down to like $150-$200 I'll pick them up.

    Well, why would I play Blizzard games on a console when I can play them on PC? And I don't like shooters, so I really couldn't care less about Bungie having a deal with Sony. It's cool because that means they'll have something over Microsoft, but that's about it.

    I've just been really disappointed with console gaming in general lately...everything feels like it runs on the same engine and have basically the same controls...everything is steering towards action (resident evil, silent hill, metal gear solid, etc. are all action games now, as opposed to avoiding combat when possible like when the series started) Maybe that's just a problem with gaming on a whole, but at least with PC i'll get to play RTS and MMORPG games.

    I was just saying in general the improvements seemed like a bigger step up this year. I mean I completely agree with you, I just remember debates we used to have you were 100% with Sony so was just surprised to hear you skip out on it.

    Haha well that was still before I really noticed how conformist games have become...Most big franchises only had their latest installment on the ps2 still, so we were excited and waiting for the ps3/360 next chapter...I miss the days when I actually got excited about games lol.

    But anyways, on the topic of the PS4, I think what most people want to know is whether or not it will play used games. When will they announce this? There is no way i'm buying a console where I can't play used stuff.
