The PlayStation 4 Thread | PSN hit by DDoS attack

I'll try and be here at the moment - might catch the beginning, but anything beyond midnight is a no no on a weekday. Will more than likely post impressions in the morning.

Live demos featuring awkward developer(s) that go 15 minutes = EPIC FAIL.

Needs to be fast paced, and packed with trailers. Trail and pre-tape strawberry floating everything. It's a Live event that should feature 90% recorded material.

Wheeling out bar graphs, men in suits and "the general public" has embarrassment written all over it.

As excited as I am, I'm not expecting a whole lot in the way of games. We'll see the console, there will be lots of talk about the controller, Eye, Move, online stuff and Gaiki. There will be a few games, teasers for new IPs and a demo of some kind for Killzone 4 or GT6.

The game blow-out will be at E3.

I wonder if they'll announce a Nike fitness game and have a bunch of fuckwits running around on stage?

I'd love Kaz to come out dressed as a crab, or just have a 'weak point' on his back.

Something like this:

1200 people all packed into a room to watch 90 % recorded material sounds like a bad idea, especially since people will just call the entire thing fake. Live demos to show the PS4 can do whatever it is they claim is the only way to go.

Meanwhile in Sony's patent submitting office...

Not just for those 1200 in attendance, I at home would be pretty disappointed if all the footage shown was pre-recorded. Live demonstrations are a must, and who better to demonstrate them than developers?

Worst than Hitler.

I like this game.

Are any of the secrets game changers/nothing that people have guessed at/leaked before?

Skippy wrote:I can now officially reveal that I know PS4 secrets I can't tell you about

Can you? There's no official public knowledge that a PS4 exists.

Apart from the fact that you did reveal it will definitely be the reveal of the PS4?

Sorry, Sony fans. We wouldn't get that Vita 4G news then.

With what will likely be a monumentally big audience watching worldwide, you don't want live-demonstrations that are prone to going wrong. If it's motion & movement based, then it's even worse. I think they should learn from history on this one, as whether it was the atrocious E3 2006 conference from Sony, the equally bad one from Microsoft in 2010, or Sony spending an age demoing Move, I think they need to learn from the past and just avoid it. If Naughty Dog want to come out and play through the opening 5 minutes of Uncharted 4 then fair enough as they've actually shown that they know what they're doing, but on the most part they're just best avoided.

Well, considering he's just done a preview for The Last of Us, it stands to reason that it's whatever Naughty Dog's told/shown him. I think their B team should be working on a new Uncharted (they'd usually be due to release a game in time for this Christmas)

I think that'll also be there. 4G Vita with NFC to demonstrate the PS4's NFC functionality.

Jak and Daxter 4

It's ok. They've got Danny Boyle in to direct it. Timothy Spall bellows 'all the men and women [are] merely players', History of PlayStation, Spice Girls on buses.
