The Official PS4 Thread

well, with the X1 getting BC, Sony is going to have to do something big to top that.

Call of Duty

Call of Duty

bleh.

 

[Havok83]

theres a rumor going around that Sony will announced an actual HD remake of FF VII. Take that with a grain of salt

 

[Tron Bonne]

I feel like that's a rumor at every Sony conference ever.

 

[Superhero 101]

I feel like Sony e3s are always weak I don't expect much from them

 

[Thundercrack85]

Microsoft really threw down the gauntlet.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I don't know, I liked the MS conference, but I don't get exactly why everyone is gushing over it really.

 

[Superhero 101]

It's because They came back swinging with all their exclusives Backwards comparability and hololens

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Making PsNow free with Plus would be a good answer to MS' BC.

 

[X Knight]

To counter MS announcing BC on the X1, Sony will announce enhanced media playback on the PS4 ( y'know, all the stuff the PS3 could do ).

and then all of us PS4 owners will be like....."Thank You Sony!! You Rule!!"

BC was great, but most of the exclusives were those we already knew about or assumed would be there, and the hololens things looked cool, but I'm skeptic it'll function like that but we'll see.

I don't know, I honestly wasn't that wowed by it like a lot of you seem to be.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

any chance sony will do the same?

 

[Tron Bonne]

We'll know in half an hour. In general, Sony's conferences are pretty weak, though, so I always go into them with tepid expectations. They do occasionally knock it out of the park, but that's more rare than not.

i wouldn't say their stuff is weak. i like a lot of the stuff they put out sometimes. they all got their ups and downs

 

[Tron Bonne]

I'm not talking about their product, I'm talking about their conference

 

[Iceman]

I liked a lot of the Microsoft conference but I think BC is throwing it in too much of a positive light. And it's funny because their supposed worst conference when they disastrously mucked up on price, always online, used game policies etc I thought was really good but people were just waiting for answers to those questions regardless of how good the lead up was. I'd love to see how people would view the 2 without hardware decisions like BC.

They can't. Also, they have PS Now, which falls apart if you can go out and buy these overpriced rentals for a few bucks.

The best they can do is emulate PS2 games.

so was i

 

[Tron Bonne]

Then what you said makes little sense, but okay.

Yeah, the PS3 is a very complex machine to do this for too with the Cell tech.

Oh thanks much better
