Official February 20, 2013 Playstation event

[Billy Idol]

Show me gaaaaaames!!!

 

[Laa-Yosh]

See, who cares about specs if your game is streamed anyway?

 

[Silenti]

I'm still stunned by the RAM. Guess it blinded me to the rest. However, everyone was talking 2GB, that was going to get doubled to 4 (the leaks).

 

[bkilian]

Specs aren't everything, people. MS may still show stuff that appeals better to the larger audience.

I'd say that MS has had a ton of wind taken out of their sails.

 

[Strange]

Gaikai = instantly try game for free.

 

[Strange]

"Video Stream" play a download before you buy or download, throw away demos.

 

[Silenti]

Did I hear that right? Basically instant demos?
How in the world are they going to upload live in game video over the upload speeds around right now?

 

[Mobius1aic]

Sony is going fucking big!

The bigger they are, the harder they fall!!!

 

[bkilian]

No mention whatsoever of an optical drive. Curious.

 

[2real4tv]

I wonder how much RAM will be reserved for non-gaming purposes.

 

[manux]

So far sony is so delivering good stuff and seemingly understanding the consumer. I hope reality will be as good as the show let's on one to believe. I'm hyped, next gen will be awesome.

 

[Xenio]

Confirmed gddr5 or only 8gb?

who cares about the larger audience? especially on a tech site

 

[LightHeaven]

I understood that correctly? You will be able to instantly play any game through gaikai, and if you purchase you still be able to play the game, while the console downloads it automatically when you stop playing? WOW

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Well at least to me, it's only in that Sony gets to show multiplatform stuff first.
All these social features are nice, but not a game changer IMHO.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Confirmed gddr5 or only 8gb?

confirmed gddr5

 

[Strange]

Wow, allowing another player "remote play" your game from another PS4.

Allowing Remote play with Vita. PSV can directly take over game, PS4 streams the whole thing over.

 

[Ruskie]

Confirmed gddr5 or only 8gb?

GDDR5.

I'd say that MS has had a ton of wind taken out of their sails.

At least you bailed out on time :smile:

 

[KKRT]

Confirmed gddr5 or only 8gb?

Only 8gb. I've just rewatched Cerny speech about memory and he said that its 8gb of fast unified memory, nothing more ;\

The comments were insisting that Sony would 'destroy' MS based on just the specs. Market shares and such are also a part of what we here care about.
