Watch Sony's E3 press conference right here
Sony's E3 press conference will be broadcast live from Los Angeles this evening at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET). We know you can't all be in LA to watch it live, so just watch it here instead.
Sony's E3 press conference will be broadcast live from Los Angeles this evening at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET or use the converter). We know you can't all be in LA to watch it live, so just watch it here instead.
The stream will actually start five minutes before the event begins. Once it concludes, it will rebroadcast the conference in its entirety after about a five-minute delay.
So what do you think Sony will unveil?

What would make you sit back and go, "wow, I wasn't ready for that."?
-
Everything
-
Hmmmmm damn that is a tough question....
If Sony shows a game pimped with crazy Tessellation, high textures but most importantly all the foliage bushes, placeables can all me moved and have physics and you can interact with anything. Attacks cause everything to be dynamic basically something that is not static and you go "Holy Shit Everything! moves and is alive and has meaning", not only would the game look amazing and beautiful it would sound amazing and be nearly 100% alive.
This would do it. -
-
Being raped.
-
-
-
I normally don't get offended over that sort of thing, but the semi-scripted quality of it in the context of presenting the background matchmaking function pushed it a little over the top for me. I don't need my rape jokes marketed at me by corporate shills - that's kind of my last straw, hehe.
-
The scripts where pretty bad I almost think it be better if the demo peps would just shut up and say nothing and if anything let the dev say something or project lead.
That script was pretty bad I admit, was stupid but I was too busy looking at the moving hair/fur of Sabrewulf it looked really good and the 3d backgrounds and particles.

Why would you want to limit the number of people who can enjoy a game? That seems kinda petty.

yea just overloaded placeholder page.

yeah it happens all the time at every conference.

Shortest press conference ever.

I really want this to not happen
not because I care about sony or MS in particular, but just so I have the opportunity to watch as a large group of gamers collectively lose faith and interest in these large scale investments these humongous corporations have made. we may even get to see it all burn to the ground in real time.

A much more elegant design than the xbone, IMHO.

A rhombus.

shockingly smaller than i thought it was going to be..

And its a black box!

Not after the latest stories, those games are almost all pre green lit already

These games are way more interesting than another Killzone or Infamous.
-
-
did MS really have that requirement for XBLA?
none of this really seems like that much of a change from the PSN/XBLA status quo.
the thing is, nobody really knows what MS's or PSN's contracting model is. all we know is that after a certain point XBLA developers started getting fucked, and usually it had to do with how they did cert/patches.

LOVE the visual style on one. much more variety so far for Sony than for MS?

FINE WITH ME. I'll be happy to pay it if it means being able to rent games!
-
sounds like it... with everything they are adding it wasn't going to be free forever.
-
Fine by me. PSN+ is a great deal.
-
As long as they don't charge for apps access (e.g. Netflix, HBO Go), I'm fine with it. Seems like there's a decent amount of value baked in, and if you can get annual subs on sale like you can with MS Points or Gold Cards, you'll prolly only pay $35/year.
-

-

*shrugs* it's $5 a month, and you get free games. Not a big deal.

Shackers, when you game, do you guys talk like this if you are playing co-op? People don't actually play like this in these scripted sequences right?

That new Tom Clancy game was the funniest. If I was that good online with friends we'd be robbing banks as a career.
-
Megan was so annoying in that demo
-

Destiny looks very standard fare so far
-
great art direction though...

At the time i posted that they were walking through a corridor shooting bland enemies. I take back the standard fare comment but i cant say it did much for me

as a Nintendo fan, if they don't bring out something fucking enormous tomorrow, Sony will win this E3 for sure
-
-
I don't know how; Atlus just made their first Vita game (Persona 4 Golden), and it took them this long to build an engine on something newer than the PS2 (Catherine was Gamebryo, so that doesn't quite count).
-
-
As a Nintendo fan, I regret to inform you they're not even doing a keynote this year.
-
Like a new console?

Definitely, really glad the eyetoy isn't in the PS4 bundle. I hate that camera garbage.

but guys, PS4 doesn't have Kinect

it was 100% sarcasm. Kinect can get fucked lol

i haven't been this excited about an E3 presentation in a long time. Sony won my heart hands down.

I suspect they are anticipating delays, which is another reason to hold the price down. If they don't hit Christmas they are going to struggle to hold the Xbox off.

why, they did it to themselves.
-
Yeah but its like over kill with Teabagging at this point.
-
-
I feel like Nintendo still looks better than MS. At least their console is cheaper, doesn't have DRM, and they always have good first party games.
-
-
-
man, that was such a gigantic bitchslap to MS, there's no way they can continue with their plans to ship a $499 xbox one
odds on a price change before release?-
-
In the pretend world where you have to buy a PS4 camera, sure. But since it's delivering fantastic-looking games without stupid Kinect bullshit, it's hard to feel like that's a loss.
-
Nobody gives a shit about the camera just like nobody gives a shit about the Kinect.

There is no way they would let what Sony does dictate the prices they set.

Biggest unanswered question regarding the PS4?
For me it's the load times / can a disc be installed / is it required in the drive? etc
Hoping it's not going to be a repeat of the PS3.
http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=30308186#item_30308186-

I know that all too well. Like I said on the PS3 it's a half-assed solution to get around BD read times, it's rarely the whole game being installed, and those games are still slow to load as it will read from the disc for the rest of the data.
Now I know digital games will run entirely from the hard drive, but I'm wondering if you'll be able to fully install any disc based game ( like you currently on the 360 for example ), and if the disc is required to be in the drive regardless. I'd also like to know what speed the BD drive is also.

PS4 pre-order

I just bought: 'PlayStation 4' by Sony
www.amazon.com -
And ordered.
-
Wow, might as well. It's easy to cancel at Amazon anyway.
-
Does Amazon charge when you order or when it ships?
-
Ships.

1) You can play the fucking thing OFFLINE, as has been tradition since the beginning of time.
2) You can play used games and swap games with your friends, as has been tradition since the beginning of time.
3) Better hardware. This step will take a while to kick in, but give the system about 3 years and you'll see some breathtaking stuff.
4) Social features that tie into gaming, such as: watch your friend play his game via live stream to decide if it's a game you might want to try; share videos and screenshots from your games; let a friend play your game remotely to get you past tough spots.
5) More and more interesting exclusives.
6) $100 less than Xbox One.
-
-
I'm feeling kinda crazy and going to preorder. If I go sane at some point, can I cancel?
-
-
Fuck it, I'm not changing my mind anyway. That deal is ridiculous.

Thank you, your order has been placed.

yes and they don't charge til it ships. No reason not to.

Can't believe I just pre-ordered.

Bought.
-
Yep, first console I've ever preordered, going all the way back to the 8-bits. Sony fucking crushed it on all points.
-
[deleted]
-
-
-
Well I pre-ordered one
1) Cheaper then XBone
2) More consumer friendly DRM
3) Sony has a really strong group of several first party developers
4) Indie games support. While I will have a gaming PC to play all of these I do want to support it. Plus I may get a Vita down the road so having some of those games on the go could be really cool to
While I have little doubt I'll get an XBone overtime as they get their exclusives, however my game time is so limited right now with my new job (travel each week) and my shitty home life that I'll do just fine with my PS4, PC and 3DS when I do have time to game and get one down the road after a price drop and some really good exclusives.
Great conference Sony and thanks for focusing on games
-
-
Well, I revise my previous statement. 2013 and beyond will be PC and PS4. maybe Vita, jk
-
Vita is pretty sweet. Especially with the Plus sub.

Fuck me I'm such a consumer whore I did too
-
They are doing 100% everything right so far. I am not a fan of the PS3 at all and I just preorder this thing day 1. Total reversal from last gen. I have zero fucking interest in that Xbox One anymore.
-
Personally, I'm waiting for a killer game before I commit, but considering that it'll probably be Persona 5 or GT6PS4, and that I'll never buy an XBone, I'm almost certainly getting a PS4 in the next two years, for some Japanese game.
Oh yeah, and probably the Wii U for Bayonetta 2.
-
-
-
-
FF1500 looks pretty awesome in an over the top anime fun way
-
-
-
-
That's one of the easiest things they can refine from now to near-launch. Hopefully there's still a priority on lightning-fast response, considering that was a priority in the XMB (even if intuitive menu placement wasn't as high a priority), and that Microsoft still has a legacy of sluggish Dashboards haunting them.
-
-
so, sony has the better plan for DRM and a better price point. though, i really dont care about the stuff MS put in place for the xbox one.
I cant say that any of the games they showed off really excited me though :/
i like integrated twitch on the xbox, and the controller has always been better. right now i feel like the few exclusives that remain are a bit more interesting for me on xbox, and I think the TV stuff is cool.
I'm a little disappointed in what sony showed game wise, because going into it i was more excited for it i think-
The exclusive games were kind of underwhelming from both sides, though I do appreciate Sony's interest in indie development. That's going to pay off big time over the console's life with many awesome games.
Can't say I care about streaming console games at all. I know some people are all up on that stuff, but twitch or ustream, don't give a fuck. Same with the TV garbage. blah.-
-
Well, exclusives were a big part of it last gen. For me it wasn't just the AAAs but the smaller downloadable games on XBLA and PSN as well.
I bought played just as many of those as I did the full releases, can't say their increased support for indies does nothing for me. It's more exciting than almost anything either company has put forward imo.
-
-
-
Game wise, I agree. The best games shown tonight were indie titles and those are also (assuming here) available on the PC, what's the point?
That said the better price point and lack of DRM is pushing me towards the PS4.

^^^ This. Most Amex cards have Extended Warranty coverage ( http://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/card-benefits.html ), so there's no reason to spend the $33 -- the 1yr Sony warranty will get extended another year by Amex, as long as you purchase using that card.

ahahaha. I think I might love Sony
-
-
-
-
They have a disdain for almost all of their customer segments (consumer gaming, consumer keyboard and mouse OS, enterprise software). If they were any more hated by their customer base, they would be Oracle.
-
-
For the price? I don't know; perhaps it's too late to eat the costs.
For the used game stance? Hopefully; us gamers were screaming out loud at how dumb it was, and MS wasn't listening until their largest competitor completely schooled them. All they have to do is change some software policies. -
I doubt it, but never say never.

OnLive / Streaming gamers: When your game is streaming as well as it ever does, is there still perceptible lag / compression artifacting? I'm very curious if Sony's Gaikai partnership could effectively produce the first game console to span three console generations.

The only disappointment is the lack of Fallout 4. Not that was a given.

Mad Max should scratch that itch

i have never preordered a console before, but everything just felt right about this. the price point, the policies, the games. everything.
-
-
Lol.
-
-
this FAR surpassed what i expected and i am really excited. HOWEVER, remember when the PS3 was $599 and you had to attack the enemy's weak spot for massive damage? now seven years later they are neck and neck with xbox in the US and slightly ahead globally
anyone calling the console battle of the next 5-8 years over because of the news thus far is being extremely hyperbolic and excitable.-
Possibly, but we also know that the hardware in the PS4 is quite a bit better so unless MS can really tap into the cloud like they say 1st party Sony games are going to look awesome down the line.
-
lol, most of these clowns are buying both systems anyways, its just a bunch of pent up butthurt rage from the 360 dominating the beginning part of the last generation, and in the end it was even, and it will most likely be even in the end this generation. When its all said an done, neither console is offering anything spectacular, especially to anyone with a PC which was bought within the last 2-3 years.
-
[deleted]
-
over time they will of course equalize out... but for that launch window/first 2-3 yr period, right now Sony has ALL the momentum
-
fully agree unless we hear some serious news before the xbox launch. i just feel it's premature to "call" the war but of course gamers are super melodramatic and hyper.
actually more of the PS4 titles shown interest me but mainly because i have a decent PC and they're less likely to appear there.
-
-
-
-
we're not even sure about launch lineups at this point. there were probably more PS4 games that piqued my interest than xbox titles, but then again i have no idea what's coming or available.
also they slipped in PS+ required for multi but since the microsoft DRM shitstorm they probably knew no one would bat an eye.-
-
i'd be pretty sure of a price increase if they keep the perks. i don't care - if they make things slicker it's fully worth it (xbl too)
-
-
missed that. hell of deal then.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
For me it was the promise of variety, rather than the promise of 3-4 samey fps shooters and a bunch of sports games that Xbox showered their presentation with.
-
yeah there's too much uncertainty about what of what we saw today (from both) are actually launch titles (for the ones that even showed gameplay to be excited about)
-
I'm excited about Watch Dogs and Dead Rising 3, neither of which are exclusives. The only exclusive that really grabbed my attention was Project Spark which is an Xbox One exclusive. Madden also looked good, although I've stayed away from it for a few years now seeing as I always seem to hate it and regret my purchase.
All that said, I am uncertain which system I'll ultimately end up with. I pre-ordered them both and will decide later. Although I've never liked the PS controllers and I'm not counting on that changing but I hope I can try out a store demo before they are actually launched. I also never buy used games and I rarely sell my games so that isn't a big deal to me, and I am in favor of supporting developers as much as I can. -
-
I'm primarily pre-ordering because my launch PS3 is dying, and not having a netflix + bluray box in the house will cause relationship drama. It's also a way of voting with my wallet, as Sony is being fairly pro-consumer this time around (no, I never thought I would write that either).
-
-
can't you just drive about eleven hours to the middle of your country?
-
-
They didn't to have as stark a contrast as this match-up seems to have. Hell the one thing that really helped the PS3 at that price if I remember right was it was basically the cheapest blu-ray player on the market at the time. The Xbox One has a fuck ton of baggage.
-
I hope they release day 1 preorder # comparisons or something. Judging by the 2 threads it's pretty lol worthy already
-
I wouldn't read TOO much into what this tiny community says about these things. The Wii would have been a massive failure, the iPhone would have been DOA, etc.
This place is a tiny community that is prone to massive hyperbole. Lets see how the general public reacts when it comes to actual sales.-
Going by the Giantbomb/Gamespot/Twitch chat it was also pretty lol. These are the people who are going to pre order consoles.
-
eh, it is still such a microcosm of gamers, the ones who care enough to troll around online communities.
I work with a bunch of people who play games way more than I do honestly, but don't spend time on these communities. They were all excited after the Xbox announcement, and have no idea what is special about the PS4. They pre-ordered the Xbox One, and won't look at the PS4. Just a small anecdote, far from conclusive either way, but don't take these forums as gospel truth. Gaming communities are the minority. CoD and Madden players are the majority.-
Eh Microsoft will probably get its ass handed to it in print by just about every news organization.
-
Also most people will probably go with the cheaper console anyway if they can play Madden and Call of Duty on it.
-
-
-
-
yes, clearly a gaming website with threads dedicated to both consoles today is a terrible place to get a perspective from and wondering what pre-order #'s are.
-
Hell I owned a 360 exclusively the last generation and probably would have bought this next one had Microsoft not gone completely insane.
-
-
-
I think there's a decent contingent of CoD/Madden guys in that group who're largely unrepresented here
-
I would have to wager most Madden players play on Playstation.
-
-
From my personal experiences with madden players is all. Everyone I know that has been die hard sports games have always played on PS, dunno why.
-
-
-
-
-
Sure, people commenting on the internet are in the vast minority of game/console purchasers. But on the other hand, literally every person who buys/sells used this generation and/or still rents games (be it via Gamefly or a local store) has only one option next gen if they want to continue doing that.

I don't, considering their corporate culture and how things have been changing over there. Look at Win8. Look at GfWL. Or at Windows Phone. The entertainment division was more or less isolated until a couple of years ago, but once it started earning money and visibility, I bet it was taken over by people that don't have a good grasp of the gaming market.

PS4 will be awesome on military bases with limited connectivity.

What I find most refreshing about Sony's E3 conference is that they appear to have learned from how badly they fucked up in the early stages of the PS3's lifecycle. They set their console at a reasonable price and aimed it at gamers and game developers. I'm impressed. Props to Sony.
Microsoft, on the other hand, seems to have studied Sony's fuck-ups and thought, "Damn, we should be taking notes. This is great stuff!"-
People were acting like Sony doing this was complete crazy talk. But seriously Microsoft teed this up for them to the point that they'd be insane not to outright undercut them.
-
Like I said before, much of Microsoft's employees seem to be coddled Seattle suburbanites who think bandwidth grows on trees, the cloud solves everything, and publishers who shout ceaselessly that used games are killing the market are more important than gamers who can afford 2 or less $60 games per year. And they previously kept denying that their viewpoint was callous, until Sony stood up and offered more in return for lesser demands.

I know I'll own an Xbone eventually, but it won't be until they drop the stupid Kinect. My current one collects dust, because when it's hooked up, it picks up ambient noise and misinterprets it as commands, plus it's not cordless.
Once they wise up and drop it as a requirement and it drops a buck and a half, I'll jump.-
Honestly the online requirement is the thing that really kills it for me.
-
[deleted]
-
-
I seriously doubt they'll drop the Kinect. The only way it has a hope in hell of getting proper development is if it's a guaranteed part of the system.

I don't doubt that but MS is clearly convinced that's the route to go.

I pre-ordered the 360 and the Wii, never had a Playstation before. But I just pre-ordered the PS4, I think Sony made all the right moves this round.
-
-
Is there an archive somewhere?
-
-
It was confirmed in one of the slides.
-
What is the likelihood that MS sees the PS4 price and decides to offer an XBoxOne without the Kinect? (to meet the PS4 price point)
-
-
I could see them drop the price to 399, just because theyre microsoft , they have the money
-
-
if you believe the rumors that Sony is making $80 per unit with higher power hardware...
-
-
I don't think they will. I think they're more likely to try and show that Kinect is worth the extra money and tell everyone all that the Xbox can do over the PS4 as justification. They've got some good games coming. I suspect they'll ride out the price point for a year and then drop it. Or that's probably their hope. I bet they don't do anything till launch.
-
-
[deleted]
-
-
ignoring the DRM, there seems to be a lot going on software-wise in the xbox that the PS4 isn't doing (because they're mainly just about games). some people might find that appealing.
-
I admit I am very curious about their virtualization setup - but that's more of an academic curiosity, not something I'll consider when buying a console to actually play.
And given PS4's support for video streaming, remote play, etc, they're clearly doing a fair amount with the OS, too.

Also, this thread is getting unwieldy.

I was almost certainly going to stay in the Microsoft camp because I felt the vast majority of online gamers would stick to live. In light of the used game policy and the holy shit $399 price of ps4 I really think a lot of folks will switch to Sony and if that is where the online communities go then so do I. I thought Microsoft had this new gen on lock down but now I think they are in serious trouble. If the warranty is good, I am seriously considering a ps4 on launch. Best case of an Xbox one purchase was 2014. This sony press conference may have just sold me.
-
Go preorder a PS4 on Amazon right now ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BGA9WK2 ). You only get charged when it ships & you can cancel anytime, so there's no downside to it.
-
-
Just an FYI for a couple of people who mentioned me (thanks for the thoughts) - I'm blown.the.fuck.away. like BLOWN AWAY at the pricing of both the Xbox One and the PS4 in this country.
Considering the dollar is going tits up right now, I'm quite genuinely thinking they may consider a price hike in this region in the next year. Seriously, we're basically barely being ripped off at all, nothing like before. Just nothing like it, much much closer to the US prices.
Less than 600$ is pocket change, it really is. Amazing - well done to both MS and Sony on that aspect.
Amazing.-
-
-
I'm assuming they price in at least 12 months of currency fluctuations. I'd be very, very surprised if their pricing guys aren't all over economic forecasts for this kind of thing. It makes a big difference to their bottom line.
-
Agreed, so why is it so close now? Seriously it's nuts, remember US price is sans tax, our is inc tax - plus, I know we all say "You're ripping us off!!!!" but honestly, there IS more cost to producing the consoles for this region. Documentation, longer warranty, less install base and so on.
-
Remember Sony is a Japanese company. The fluctuation in the USD-AUD rate likely doesn't matter so much to them.
Also they will hedge the shit out of their foreign currency sales. They probably already know the rate they'll be getting on the AUD to <whatever they care about> for as long as the console will be sold at its current price point.
