CES 2014: Show floor speculation

http://www.techradar.com/us/news/ph...expect-from-the-show-1193036/2#articleContent

"Microsoft is back at CES!" or so was the flavor of many headlines in early October. Turns out the company isn't making the spectacular CES splash it was made out to be, as it quickly downplayed its plans for the 2014 show to The Verge.

That's not to say Microsoft won't be out in force in LV, as the company confirmed it will have "a substantial set of rooms for meetings with our partners." It's in these rooms we expect OEMs and press alike to learn more about the adoption of Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 RT, sales of Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, what's the score with Nokia, how the Xbox One release is playing out and much more.

Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai is slated to deliver a keynote address as part of the Tech Titans keynote series, "where CEOs from the most powerful companies in technology present their vision for revolutions in products, services and networks."

Sony will be coming off a holiday season high where it saw the release of the PS4, and with a few high-powered phones rumored for release before long, look for Hirai to drop sales figures and talk about Sony's role in pushing hardware innovation forward.

More to that point, the company is reportedly working on a virtual reality headset modeled in the vein of the Oculus Rift. According to Eurogamer, Sony's targeting a 2014 release for its VR dream.

A keynote where he's supposed to talk about his "vision for revolutions in products, services and networks?" Sounds like CES 2014 is a plausible place for next-gen PS4 accessory to rear its head.

Edit: I bet $20 that Kazuo announces PS4 worldwide sales during his keynote address. :LOL:

Bah, no mention of Sony releasing successors to their VG900 and FS100 video cameras, that's what I'm mostly interested in :(

Low-odds bet you're making there (as sony's bound to brag about how well the system is selling, of course), but just in case you lose - who exactly gets to collect...? :D

Anything higher requires the Mrs. permission. lol :LOL:
 
I am expecting some nice things unveiled from Kaz and Oculus. With little luck, they will both unveil plans for sales of their consumer VR products, and with little more luck, Sony VR will be compatible with PC.

Perhaps in anticipation of this announcement:

Because of the high probability of Sony announcing a few games, along with VR-Gaming technology. Also, MS (maybe), Nvidia, AMD, Oculus, Valve (Steam Boxes) and so on, will be talking about the future of gaming. That's why...

Those are reasons for the thread to be posted in the PC forum. Not that I care where it is. Just pointing that out.

On Sony and VR, I don't see it being a massive deal as it'll require users to purchase a separate, expensive peripheral which then severely limits the user base that devs can develop VR games for. This is different to OR on the PC where most existing games should transfer straight to it through driver based stereoscopic support - provided you have the hardware to push the required double framerates in those games.

Why aren't you looking at DSLR style cameras, should be plenty to be seen at CES and you could get rid of the video look?
 
The camera doesn't cause the 'video look', but that's not a console discussion. Maybe take it up in PM?
 
Sorry for the quick OT tag-on... maybe he's referring to a point and shoot look when saying "video"? I'm no pro photographer, but it seems a small aperture with resultant large depth of field on typical point and shoot cameras gives most photos that look to my eye. I have no idea what the largest aperture/smallest f stop is on the cameras mentioned.

Just a quick reply since it isn't console related, but the short answer is dslr's suck for many reasons compared to real video camera's like my full frame vg900, etc. Dslr's are horribly overrated when it comes to shooting video in my ever humble opinion.

I hope to hear some Gaikai news first.

They can showcase VR and Move Next but it will probably appeal to core gamers (and perhaps movie enthusiasts) initially. More suitable for E3.


If they want, they can also tell us what else can be hooked up to that AUX port. iOS and Android integration would be impactful too.
