Playstation 4 being announced February 20th?

Plainsong · 2 Mar 2013 at 12:42

I've yet to decide whether this is a day one purchase for me. I'll wait and see what MS come up with before I even think about preordering. Like a lot of people I fear the Kinect factor but even so, I can wait just a little longer.

Looking forward to E3. That is where I think we'll see what's really happening.

I was thinking about pre ordering but when the price is released along with bundles etc won't you have to cancel your pre order to re-order the bundle you want?

Ill just be happy with the console and what ever game I choose. Most bundles won't save you any money they will just be designed to make the retailers more money per console.

I really want to like this but I'm finding it hard, the thing I loved about the PSX and PS2 was the strong Japanese influence. SONY has said that there is little to no Japanese influence this time round. I miss the days of all the crazy Jap games that the PS and Dreamcast used to get, I had my PC for 'Western' games and it looks like this gen I'll be a PC and Wii U owner.

Just because the console itself is targeted towards westerners with things like social media doesn't mean the games out of Japan will be.

Indeed, the only downside to it was a lack of glimpse of a console, which is easy to get over. Not sure what else was bad about it, yet a lot of people are talking like it was some sort of disaster

its the new cool attacking sony because they didnt show a box.

honestly no matter what sony did, large sections of the internet would still be moaning about something or other.

I think most announcements are a fail now, everything seems to be leaked beforehand.

Well the actual event itself was a bit boring. Bringing out endless people to say something for 3 minutes then walking off. Nothing looked particularly interesting gameplay wise, tech demoes are tech demoes and not very innovative ones at that.

It wasn't bad, just a bit meh.

And I know the new Xbox announcement will be the same or worse (I'm betting on worse).

Worse due to the smarmy MS execs like Don Mattrick. He makes me want to throw my slipper at the screen.

hmm got another email notice from anotehr site..

they have the ps4 @ £499 .. a controller is £69 and games @ £59 ....ouch

Fr0dders · 4 Mar 2013 at 22:12

Nobody knows the price yet and everybody is guessing.

Don't read too much into it. Industry analysts were saying they lost too much ground last time at a £399 release price. No way they will launch at £499 with no games and one controller.
