PS4: PlayStation Meeting 2013 heralds big news from Sony

PS4 game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g1fr5vk72M

Sounds corny but the teaser gave me goosebumps

Yep

yea slick teaser that for sure

At freaking last

Love this stuff and the anticipation. This year is gonna be awesome!

Finally! please be powerful, please be powerful…

At least 1080p, 60fps

Hirai actually said not too long ago that he wanted MS to make it’s first move. No?

I’m not sure that they will show PS4. Maybe they will show what hardware is capable of. Because I see no reason for Sony to announce PS4 at all because they don’t want to fail that much like with PS3.

I think we will see a bunch of tech demos from First Party and maybe Third party. EA, Activision, Ubi.

@monkeygourmet,
“At least 1080p, 60fps”

Ahahahaha. Loooooool. No. Sorry. good luck having something in 30 frames per second.

I love this shit too. As a gaming hobbyist, this year is full of juicy and delicious gossip and rumour, and so many things are set to change… ^-^ /hugs manamana

@8

Well, they won’t be doing enough then to last 8 years if the next cycle is a long one too…

^ I think every game will be 1080p, but 60 frames? No.Way.In.Hell.

60 frames per second is only for PC’s because you can change the hardware. (Unless PS4 will enable you to change hardware which will never happen anyway.) Games are better graphically and gameplay wise every year. No 60 frames on consoles. I think launch games will be in 60 Frames.

PS4 reveal already in February? I don’t know but i highly doubt that. I’d expect it alot closer to E3 really.

And if next-gen games won’t be 60fps, that would suck. I have a 60 inch plasma and i really notice that stuff. I recently placed the MG Rising demo and it was a delight with the 60 frames, or at least..it felt so damn smooth…had to be 60.

I’m struggling to get this video to embed properly. Stand by.

Edit: Aaaaand there’s a YT version.

Interesting to say the least..

Hey that’s my birthday

Interesting video, but it could be anything really. But they seem to want to let us know that this event is something to look out for, hmmm.

@8
60fps only on pc? why? I think ps4 can run every game at 60fps if it comes out with rumoured specs.It is onl a game focused device not the pc.

hey moonwalker
they did a playstation meeting for ps3 and one for vita and this the third one so there is like no way this is not ps4 announcement. they are inviting all the journalists and investors so yea bet on it. i just hope its not like the vita and release is early next year. i want it this fall damnit!

If the media and investors are there I think it’s a good chance a new hardware announcement will happen. Be interesting to see if MS responds

PS Vita Go

Or maybe PS Gaikai service unviel to get people used to the idea before PS4?

i am going to make the craziest prediction ever (this is highly unlikely). ps4 coming in may 2014. i think last of us will have a simultaneous ps4 release. gtav is going to release first on ps4 in may. probably the reason it got delayed for xbox 360 and ps3 the last minute. i know this is probably dumb but i just have a weird theory. last of us has not been playable yet. the journos have only seen it played by the devs. i just want to see someone do an apple and release something within 3 months. i am going to say it will release first in us and then europe and then last in japan because they have a lot of games coming out that they like coming out this year.

Come on guys, if Sony is inviting their investors, what the hell do you think they’re going to show them? The Last of us?

@15 Happy Birthday to you! I got you a new console generation.

My prediction:

Cloud gaming on both PS3 and Vita.

Remodeled PS3 that has more RAM target price still 300USD

More MMO games on PS3

PS HOME made compatiable on Web Browsers, Vita, and streamlined to the OS

Outrageous Predictions:

MS and Sony announce a merger for next gen. Recent specs people have been seeing is a collab device to streamline MS and SONY into one mega console next gen.

@23

Indeed, sounds like it will be pretty big.

But still, Sony has disappointed me bigtime with several E3 shows now, no expectations here. Same goes for MS. I hope both companies still know how to make an awesome show.

Well, you heard from me first :;

A very clever move from sony if it comes to fruition. Console reveals are big enough events to warrant their own conferences. I also said Kaz may be bluffing, guess I was right there too.

This has to be the big reveal right? Even a huge blowout about Gaikai integration would be a bit underwhelming with this kind of build-up. Whatever it is, I really hope it’ll be a leak-free reveal. Knowing Sony though, details are eventually going to filter through the grapevine at some point in these next three weeks.

If you ask me, this is what should be moving through the intranet at Sony’s Marketing Dept. right now…

Keep it safe. Keep it secret.

@mathare,
Agree 100%. But I really doubt anyone could keep such big reveals secret, as there are so many people involved, outside of sony no less. Every apple and samsung announcements only confirm what was known months ago.
Blame the chinese for this

Just to add, livestream will be done on ps blog.
And when IGN contacted Sony for comment, they said -
“The PlayStation meeting will be about the future of the PlayStation business.”
The meeting will take place in New York City.

@Erth

What are you talking about? All of the CoD’s run between 45-60fps and it’s the end of the generation. Besides that, games get optimized when it comes to consoles. It’s up to the dev how the game is going to run, not just the consoles limitations. Plus, the consoles don’t have nearly as much background stuff running to bog them down. I’ll agree not EVERY game is going to do 60fps but i put that on the dev’s and how graphically intensive they make their game, how skilled they are at optimizing and polishing, and their engine.

It probably won’t be the PS4. My guess is it will be PSN integration with Sony televisions and a web portal.

^Doubtful, very doubtful. It’s not something worth making hype for.

@32 – with this much hype behind it? Jesus, that’s be the equivalent of Kaz releasing a trailer and calling all the press to announce he found his lost car keys.

according to sources of The Wall Street Journal.
PS4 To launch alongside new Xbox this holiday!

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323701904578276672168365276.html

HYPE!

@34,
If Kaz did that, it would be awesome!

@Dark,
It sucks when you aren’t able to read more than half of the article. Read it on gematsu.

sony has done 2 playstation meeting’s so far. one was for ps3 reveal and the other was for psvita reveal so the odds of this being ps4 is very very good.

@Killersense,
Its ps4, no doubt. Just see this for further proof-

This is going to be great, bring on the PS4!

Cool!

I think I like the idea of a much more humble, slightly desperate, conscious of the competition, Sony.

It’s a complete turnaround from how they were pre-PS3.

@18 Actually, they didn’t use a PlayStation Meeting to announce PlayStation 3. I can’t speak for PlayStation 1 because I don’t know how that was announced.

But the last four hardware announces have been a mixture of E3 and PlayStation Meetings. PlayStation 2 was announced at a PlayStation Meeting in March 1999, whilst PlayStation 3 was infamously announced at E3 2005.

PlayStation Portable was (kind of) announced at E3 2003, but the final version wasn’t shown until a year later, also at E3. PlayStation Vita, as hopefully now well known around here, was announced at a PlayStation Meeting two years ago.

To get off my high horse: IT’S HAPPENING!

@Johnny,
Can I safely assume you and Pat are going to the meet? Or is it Steph?

@41 Dude, I don’t work here anymore. I’m only passing observation.

Have you not noticed the influx Dave has posted since July.

@Johnny,
Oh! So Dave came when you left? Didn’t notice that
Good Luck where ever you are working now.

Could this be one of the reasons Rockstar Games moved the release date on GTA V? don´t shoot the new guy, be gentle

When you look at the trailer there seems like some of shapes that appear do not fit or match with the Playstation symbols or is it just my mind that is messing with me?

Cheers Johnny and thanks for passing by to get off your high horse

hmmm…i think the ps3 still has enough steam for 2 more years. the 360 for 1 max. i think in these financial crisis times they will wait as long as they can. vita isn’t out long, they just redesigned the ps3. maybe they just add a new touchpad controller, something vita to the ps3? new stuff to expand the life of the ps 3 for two more years? to counter wiiu and nextbox smartglas. something like this: “hey, you can just get our cheaper add on and you can have the same experience with less costs. the ps 3 still is a powerhouse, see, here you have the last of us, a game that looks better than any other game on any other system yet plus these great games, designed with the new *whatever it will be* in mind *then announce some games for that thing just like kinect, move stuff etc.” you know, something like that. counter, no need to release new hardware (in the form of a brandnew console) yet. that would be pretty clever actually. my prediction: this holiday nextbox, holiday 2014 ps4 – earliest spring or mid 2014… as a multiplat gamer that’s ok. i wouldn’t want to buy a ps4 this year. to me it still feels fresh enough and there are great games for it in the pipeline…

now i watched the trailer. transparent circles squares triangles, electricity that looks like it connects things. i still think it’ll be something wiiu, smart glassish and something vita/ps 3 combined…could also be a new console sure, could be anything. i just think it would make sense. i mean vita and ps3 are still super for great looking games. combine them, maybe make a new os, a new social online feature ‘big fest’ and sell the shit out of the hardware you already have. you can counter wiiu graphically and i believe nextbox too for two more years and then release the superduperultrapower ps4 in 2 years and be first with the most powerful console ever…

Great. Something to watch while the family and I enjoy some delectable hobbit chops. I hope I don’t get the timings wrong like the last time. It’s a right mess converting EST to EMT.

Well. This is exciting, isn’t it?

Nice to wake up to this. It’s probably PS4, but my own personal guess – based on nothing but past releases and gut feeling – is that it’ll launch spring 2014. They’ll announce now to appease investors and keep everyone sweet for a year. Then release in Easter next year.

I still have a gut feeling 720 will be out in November.

@polygem i personally thought early 2014 for ps4 but they have to get out this holiday to gain lost market share from last gen. there are people that are starving for new hardware so they cannot afford to miss out on that initial rush. you are crazy if you think they can wait for 2 years. in 2 years time they could be the most powerful console but people would have already got the 720 and not see the increase in graphic quality as substantial to go out and buy the ps4 and the wii u would have cut the price to 199 by then and the xbox 720 would do a price cut right around ps4 launch as well so at which point they would be screwed.

they can and will definitely support the ps3 for 2 or 3 more years with software. if i were to guess seeing that this is revealed in US and not in japan like the vita that it is launching in the US first and europe next and japan last because i think ps3 is going to sell really well in japan going forward looking at the amount of software it is getting.
