*** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

It would be odd to put an unconfirmed feature with an unconfirmed release date in such a 'factual' advert. That's what makes me think it's ********. I can't find a larger picture of the ad but I'm sure there's an Xbox one below it, anyone find it?

 

[biron_w]

The Sun is just not a reliable source at all.

Unless they've hacked Kaz Hirai's phone line

Found a non-cropped photo:

Clearly not an advert.

Found a larger version, with an Xbox equivalent section below it:

Presumably it's just gaming websites cropping photos to try to start rumours and get pageviews.

 

[XeNoN89]

Surely this information would be supplied by however paid for this advert, most likely Sony?

It's not an advert, it was for an article comparing the PS4 to the XB1

 

[Shamikebab]

Yeah there you go, knew I'd seen it after E3.

 

[Murray]

Yeah, I wouldn't take any of the rumours seriously but its looking like a November release date is the most likely.

Also Sony did confirm you will be able to stream PS3 games through the PS4 using Gaiki.

Great idea in theory, I wonder how people's internet connection will affect it though. Will it require super-fast broadband to achieve a stable gameplay session?

I've seen Onlive run decent enough on modest connections so I'd imagine this would be ok.

Cool, could be very useful then

Saying that, I always move into the next gen with every intention of playing my previous gen consoles, and then hardly ever do. My 360 is backwards compatible with the majority of original Xbox games I have left, yet I can only think of 3 times over the past 6/7 years or so that I've actually used it.

 

[grimm]

While you could do that, I can't imagine why I'd ever want that in a game

Do we know if it detects levels of pressure sensitivity?

Bearing in mind that Sony are a Japanese company, it probably has something to do with some Jap only titles they have planned where you can play with the breasts on an anime character.

Just to make the game more realistic.

I bet Codemasters steals that for the next F1 game...

No chance! I'm copyrighting that idea!

Same, I rarely go back to the previous gen for games. Backwards compatibility is never something that bothers me that much. If it did I would keep the consoles that the games were released on.

 

[HeX]

Yeah backwards compatibility is a non-issue for me, I'll be keeping both my 360 and PS3, they'll get handed down to the kids for their rooms, and the next gen will become the new living room console.

This is the PS4 thread.

 

[Richdog]

This is the PS4 thread.

No **** sherlock, but seeing as these things have been heavily referenced in this thread when comparing the two rival consoles, then it is still fully relevant information.

 

[Davey_Pitch]

And it's been fully discussed already in both the Xbox One thread and the "what console are you buying" thread

 

[Richdog]

And it's been fully discussed already in both the Xbox One thread and the "what console are you buying" thread

...thus still undoubtedly relevant and news to people who are only checking this thread. I don't see any logical problem with mentioning it whatsoever

 

[Shamikebab]

Richdog...never start a news blog

 

[steveo]

...thus still undoubtedly relevant and news to people who are only checking this thread. I don't see any logical problem with mentioning it whatsoever

and if we posted news about the PS4 in the Xbone thread we would get ripped to bits and called all sorts
