Wow, how can there be people who dislike the PS4

I don't believe ppl dislike the PS4...I just think its the "not now" factor. Did we really need a next gen console, no "not now". Once ppl (each to their own as to when this happens) change the "not now" to "now is good", the love will pour over the PS4. I rate the "now is good" will start coming 3/4's or to the end of 2014

IT BEGINS

I dont think that Kojima tweet is about something he is showing (which is most likely just MGS:GZ and the PS exclusive content) but rather something else.

The R&D for Sony are showing something and ppl are speculating its the rumoured VR headset Sony have been making.

Also Geoff posted a vid of Shu apparently getting quite surprised by something he saw in the rehearsal stage for the PS4 launch event.

Kotaku timed the installation processes of seven PS4 launch games, starting the clock upon disc insertion and stopping it when the PS4 allowed you to boot the game for play.

Surprisingly, the longest idle time recorded was 42 seconds for Ubisoft's Just Dance 2014. Assassin's Creed 4 fired up within just 13 seconds.

Kind of flaky tbh... the source of the rumour eve says that DS2 is something that was expected to have already been shown and that via old info he has been led to believe it will be shown at the event but doesnt actually think it will.

Though DS2 being in development has been rumoured for quite some time already.

That said, an announcement would be pretty great.
getting close now...

Demons Souls 2 would be awesome!

although it would be weird to see the successor franchise compete against the predecessor franchise, even if the developers are different teams

The rumours are that the director from demons souls and dark souls (DS2 has a new director) is working on Demons Souls 2. So if it is still From Software, co-developed by SCEJ, it would have the same basic teams as the original game.

I was never interested in the Move or Kinect, but this looks great

Total gimmick but and impressive one lol. That is really cool, surprised at how well it works.

Depending what they do with it could be something cool to kill time with, the robots dancing in the controller ended me.

That would amuse me for so many hours =p

I thought there was supposed to be some big announcement? Is this all there was? Are Sony trying to make people buy an xbox one? lol

The fanboys need to stop hyping this up and reporting every little rumour just ends in dissapointment.

InFamous release is so far away

Sony didnt hype anything.

GT did.

and besides, when does a games company have a launch event where they announce new stuff an hour before the console in question launches?

Exactly, never (from what I recall). No need to exaggerate.

That said, I am dissappointed by the lack of a gameplay reveal for The Order and Shadow of the Beast. I figured those would be obvious reveals.

Oh well, doesn't matter. VGAs in a month, that is where Sony traditionally makes their new console game announcements during Q4.


And yeah... Infamous a little longer away now T^T

New buzzword: Blue Light of death

PS4 launches with 0.4% fail rate

Sony has revealed that PlayStation 4 has launched with a fail rate of around 0.4 per cent.

The hardware giant confirmed that the issues reported with launch day consoles thus far fall in line with the company’s expectations. The comments come after consumers, as well as IGN and Kotaku, flagged up some issues with the new machine.

Writing in a statement issued to IGN (via MCV), Sony said, “A handful of people have reported issues with their PlayStation 4 systems.

“This is within our expectations for a new product introduction, and the vast majority of PS4 feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

“We are closely monitoring for additional reports, but we think these are isolated incidents and are on track for a great launch.

“There have been several problems reported, which leads us to believe there isn’t a singular problem that could impact a broader percentage of systems. The number of affected systems represents less than 0.4 per cent of shipped units to date, which is within our expectations for a new product introduction."

3 consoles fail and people lose their[censored] lol

The only negative thing about this launch is the awful launch games.

Yeah... I think the thing is that with social media being as big as it is now, issues like this can be seen overblown.

nevertheless... i am glad that Japan is getting this in Feb.... if there are any issues hopefully they are mostly ironed out by then.

1 million units sold in US in 24 hours. I think that puts it as the fastest any PS device has hit a million. Previously, it was the PS2 at 3 days when it launched in JPN.

I believe that failure rate was amended to 4% rather than 0.4%, which was apparently an error on Sony's part when releasing the statement. Either way, it's a really pathetic amount to throw a hissy fit over.
