Official February 20, 2013 Playstation event

Yep, and fanmade as well , all of them.

 

I boarded the hype train from day 1 and couldn't get off.

What I noticed is usually with a tease like this, there will be people who complain about an "announcement of announcement", but not this time. I see people are hyped for the PS4, people are expectant of next gen, people are apprehensive/hoping Sony may not deliver, but I've yet to see a single complaint about Sony dragging it out over 3 weeks.

To me, this is a sign that gamers really want to see next gen consoles. People have waited long enough for a leap in power and the market should be receptive.

 

Well actually, it would be pretty cool if that's what we did - all of us going into Home, setting up a party and/or chat, and discuss the announcements with each other live.

You'd be surprised how fast a fresh install brings you into Home these days, and how small the download really is. It's come a long way, and there is a ridiculous amount of content, some of it even fun.

In fact so much content has been coming out recently that I'm starting to think we'll get an announcement about it at the Event too.

 

Thank god. For a moment there I thought I was supposed to get excited about the 15-shaped spunkgargleweewee starring generic military dude.

 

Streaming in Home is fun because of silly comments in the crowd. But the streaming quality was affected by other activities in the client.

In PS4, they should show the video stream quickly first, like a regular video player and let the user load and zoom out into the 3D Home world with press of a button.

 

Sony streams it here btw (I'm sure there are links for all countries, this is what I just got mailed to me):

I received a $10 credit for PS Store yesterday in the XMB inbox.

If they were to use Home to promote online events, it is customary to have lucky draws, surveys, and other fun activities before, during and after the "show". So yes, I think Sony should seriously beef up Home.

Otherwise, it's just a 3D skin for a video player.

 

It starts at 01.00 over here, dunno if I have the courage to stay up so late. Probably have to watch it in the morning...

 

I'll probably be running around in SF and Berkeley area when the show is on. 8^(

 

Please, let The Last Guardian be a launch title. I'm gonna import the damned console if that's the case (assuming we Europeans get the usual sloppy seconds console release of course)

 

Shouldn't that be midnight? I believe it's 11PM in the CET timezone, and Finland is not 2 hours ahead of that.

 

No it'll be 12PM CET. CET is +6 hours on EST.

 

I think they are components from AMD not yet on the market? At least I don't think the Jaguar cores are. But the big bottleneck for PS3 wasn't even the Cell, it was the blue laser diode. And getting software presentable for launch to run on the thing, never mind the tricky development environment with very little in the way of tools etc. This machine is going to be far easier to get games up and running on.

 

I think I'll go to sleep for two hours and wake up to watch it. Any idea how long the event will be? If they don't reveal the damn thing, I'll nuke their HQ.

 

My big question for the night now is gonna be what they name it, I will laugh my ass off if they name it Playstation 4! (There's a bit about 4 being unlucky in Japan)

/me is happy, he has the fun colour angle covered.

 

I imagine it will be Orbis, people are used to it now and it hasn't been ridiculed like Wii so why not.

 

Yep.

Should have plenty of games and systems available at launch ... the tide could turn early if Sony plays this one right!

Excited to see the unveil!
