As is evident by your 25% completion percentage. Don't feel bad, I'm just as bad.
IGN is doing a live stream re: PS4
http://www.youtube.com/user/IGNenter...?v=TS2eaFGZp4w
This should be interesting. Not sure what they're going to talk about besides a bunch of already talked about concept stuff.
From the stream thus far:
- "Future" of PS - more than just PS4 (PS3 not finished; Vita)
- Vita Price Drop likely coming
- PS4 ties into Vita
- Sony should promote PS4 as "gamer's console" - no kiddie/move shizzle
- Too early for 100% Cloud probably 10 years away
- Uncharted 4 and GOW 4 Little Big Planet 3 to be the big exclusive sellers within the 1st year
- Sony will NOT announce price until MS comes out with their price
- Sony will NOT announce release date until MS does
- Price guess $399 but multiple tiers
- Stream PS3 games b/c not backwards compatible
- Used Games = TOAST but might be able to buy used games and then buy a "keys" (like EA online pass) - and will be good for the industry - publishers hurting b/c of the used game market
- Believes prices will drop for games once digital downloads become more common
- PS+ integrated with the streaming of PS3 games + more cloud storage start out with a "Best Of PS3" collection for your PS4 etc...
- controller will be announced
- Sony gamers are more "hard core" than 360's more "casual" base who "just buy Madden"
- PSN will remain free
- This generation is going to have "performance issues" b/c these systems are not going to be that big of an upgrade from PS3/360 compared to PC
- PS4 with a slight outside shot of just PS not any other name
- likely last multi (at least) console generation
- some random dude got a box of Almonds from Amazon
That's a laugh!
LMAO at WiiU already being at the retirement table.
I just hope (for no extra cost) PS4 has backwards compatibility; whether it be in the cloud, as long as you put the disc in the system, or something like that.
Very stoked to see where PS+ is going to go with the PS4.
pastapadre tweeted there is a rumor (probably going to be a flurry of rumors in next 24 hours) that PS4 will have a built-in spectator mode to allow others to watch, even if they don't own the game at-hand.
Virtual Heckling, that will work out well.
That would be cool. CDJ buys a game but I'm not sure if its my cup of tea. I ask to spectate while he plays through and I can decide for myself whether or not to purchase the new game or not (since used games are now probably out).
Pasta just tweeted the link but - PS4 = November:

FYI - allot of "interesting" nuggets in this article: (1) price; (2) phone/tablets; (3) no more free PSN; (4) PS+ now = PS World
Or you realize how big of a cheeser I am and ruin my online street cred.
Or you see JB playing every Disney movie tie-in video game for trophies and realize he has no street cred.
Who knows what will happen, but I had a feeling the days of free PS were going to end with the new consoles. I just hope it is an improved experience worthy of the cost. Phone apps could be pretty cool as well.
My early prediction for the PS4/360 is that they are both going to focus on righting some wrongs of the last console generation (more RAM in PS4, larger disc space for 720 games) but also work to get a constant revenue stream (see below).
There should be a nice leap, but not a huge leap in tech as they realize 1) people cannot/will not spend $500-$700 for a new console and 2) they'll make more money nickel & diming people. $400 or so to start, $10 a month for online features, perhaps an extra $5/month for 'premier service', $10 to unlock used games, plus the cut of DLC put out by studios.
