Playstation 4 being announced February 20th?

Plainsong · 20 Feb 2013 at 12:50

I'm thinking £349 basic and £399 premium.

Getting pretty excited for this tonight now. Had a slow morning at work but got a mass of work due in anytime now from an external engineer so my afternoon will just disappear trying to get it all done so he can take it all back down south.

I'll be sticking in a pre-order for this as soon as they go up. Can't see any reason not to with the likes of Amazon offering their price promise and being able to cancel at anytime.

I own PS3 and 360 this gen but the PS3 has received probably 95% of the use. 360 has only really been used for Battlefield 3 with mates.
PS Plus is a big reason my PS3 gets more use so I'd be very interested in any information tonight about how they plan to move forward with this service.
I also want to see what exclusives they are working towards because Playstation exclusives are nearly all of interest to me from this gen where as I hate every single one of the Microsoft exclusives.

Deff more interested in the PS4 release than MS next gen but once MS do their announcements i'll be looking out for what they are offering to make me buy that on top of the PS4. My mates are more likely to get Xbox so that's 1 massive draw there so if they offer a few other cool features i'll end up with both.

To be honest, it looks like a dev/prototype.
I'd assume the final will be a more polished version, well I hope it will be!

What are you all expecting (in terms of graphics) from the PS4 and new XBOX?

I honestly cant see how games can look any better from some of today's top sellers (not including the COD franchise).

Watched any of the tech demos? (Unreal 4 for example) Not to mention resolution, AA, Texture quality)

1080p 60fps instead of the 720p if lucky 30fps we get now, so more polished, sharper and with better effects for lighting/weather and such.

hopefully the possibility of more players online for games like BF.

Current PC quality on medium-high settings @ 1080p is my guess.

Sounds about right to me.
Look at the improvements from the 360 and PS3 launch to now. I would guess we'll see improvements during the next console's life cycle, but maybe not such a large jump.
I just hope more games come out in 60fps, 1080p would be a bonus.

Also this one

Chris1712 · 20 Feb 2013 at 13:41

It will 100% have 4K support, even if it's just output. The PS3 does that for gods sake.

ZG002 · 20 Feb 2013 at 13:43

Don't finish work till 11:30

guess I will just have to watch it delayed.

They really need to get it at £300 and £350, the PS3 proved last time that coming in at £400 really put people off!

ps3 can only do images not video afaik.
4k is a lot to push around on what is modest tech, the consoles at the moment can barely do 1080p in games, and some even struggle on 720p.

I think we should be happy with a solid 1080p gaming experience and see what happens with 4k. maybe they will just have it for bluray stuff.

How can they come in at £300 if RRP for Wii U premium is also £300 and Nintendo are supposedly making a loss on that, how can Sony come in at a similar price with much stronger hardware?
