Colour me excited. Really looking forward to this now!

@antdickens Red color please.

I hope if their announcing a PS4 it doesn't cost $5999, and has more red. (Systems in basic colors look too bland for my likes)

@Musharna Rumour is about £300:
http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2013/02/rumour_sony_considering_p300_price_point_for_playstation_4

i cant sleep lol

6 PM EST? I'll be able to catch it.

This all seems quite elaborate for a PS Vita price drop announcement!

@antdickens Actually I'm expecting that somewhere in the conference. I feel they need to talk more about the VITA.

@Valky yeah, I'm expecting a price cut... but hopefully will be a footnote in the announcements... I'm sure it will feature though.

Aw man so hyped! I wonder what games will come out launch period?

I expect the Vita price drop announcement within the conference too, but this is too much for a Vita conference alone.

FOCK! why so late? I need to go to bed early because of the job:(

@Slapshot Vita price drop YES! And a new Ps vita conference with some announcements! Capcom gives a big finger to Nintendo and releases Monster hunter 4 on it! Twin sticks

Man I do hope Naughty Dog announce a game for it, not like a trailer, but just an announcement for a new game. I hope it is Jak 4 or a completely new IP!

I think there'll be PS3 and Vita price cuts tomorrow night...

I hope for at least price cuts on everything vita, especially memory cards would be nice, and of course PS4!!! Can't wait!

@get2sammyb That seems rather likely, the vita in particular needs one, if anything, it should encourage developers to make games for it a tad more...

8pm here!
Perfect time!

Imagine if they announce only a new peripheral and talk nothing about PS4?

I sure Sony announces an all new MediEvil title for PS Vita. Hopefully with new playable characters and online multiplayer features.

Bring on the 3DVita!
Anyway, PS4 better be cheaper than Wii U so I can get one. u-u

@Prof_Clayton I know right? I can't understand WHY Sony would price the PS4 higher than the WiiU. From what I've been reading Sony has been slapped by Nintendo in sells over and over again and it's time for Sony to man up and get a one up over Nintendo. The PS Vita is truly revolutionary and it's basically like having a PS3 in your pocket. ACIII Liberation was made using the same graphical engine as is used for Assassins's Creed on the PS3. Killzone 3's engine is being used to make Killzone Mercenary. Sony is so much more than Nintendo.

I think it would be hilarious if the PS4 was nothing but a PS3 add-on.

@Savino - Where the heck do you live, Atlantis?

It seems odd to watch a live presentation that's being held a 30 minute drive from my house on a website that's a 6 hour plane flight away. Though I suppose not as odd as reading a 24 hours in advance live streaming blog.

Since it's 6PM anybody have any thoughts on what I can cook for dinner? NVM, I'll just get pizza.

Tomorrows announcement should include at least 4 new Vita exclusives and a western price cut. They also need to show us what Millions 4, Sucker Punch, Media Molecule and Evolution have in store for us. In too of that, launch PS4's should come with a demo disc like the old days.

What I want to know is what can the PS4 do that the PS3 can't.

@Trikeboy

It'll likely have much of the current PS3 functionality as an integrated package.
You can bet it's 4K ready.
Remote Play as a workable, useable, high quality experience.
Simple architechture compared to the PS3, much better processor than the Cell- enabling developers quicker access to exploit the top end capabilities of the machine.
Other than that, your general- more power = better graphics and possible gameplay enhancing features.
The 'big leap' here will be a Sony console that isn't hard to code for and an off the shelf 4K content streamer.

Lots moe rumours to go through this morning, worst of all:

PlayStation Cloud/World which will replace Plus- 'most' of PS4's online features will be via premium subscription.

That's me out. Plus was a fantastic bonus for those who play a lot, and a very good compliment to the rest of the free PSN service. But, if the basic functionality of playing games online is via a subscription, I'm not interested- at all.

So, graphics and power then? It will be a super charged PS3 which was in all essence a super charged PS2 which was in all essence a supercharged PS.

4K would be nice but how many people out there have a display that can do that resolution justice? If developers haven't got the best out of the PS3 by now, I doubt they will be able to get the best out of the PS4 just by better processors.

I totally agree on the cloud thing. I love Plus and have downloaded and played many games that I wouldn't have paid full price for. It is a great service that I'm glad I paid for.

Well, this is all speculation but I would be surprised if the PS4 is radically different from what we already have from them.

That's like 0:00 CET.

Have a good liveblog, lads and lasses. I'll be here watching with you tonight.

I seriously feel like a kid on Christmas Eve right now. Can't wait!

@SilentJ haha, I think we all feel like that today!

@Trikeboy

No no, the point is hat the radical shift in architecture won't be anything like the PS3. The development process will be much easier. Getting the best out of the PS3 was difficult because the Cell is junk, not used by anyone else, for anything else. By adopting architecture closer to standard PC internals it becomes a much easier ride for everyone. The console specific features, like Move, Crossplay etc will be able to speak for themselves, and there won't be the issues of multiplatform woes with the PS3 being such an 'odd one out' in terms of performance.

@KALofKRYPTON yeah, they've also talked about using low-power consumption parts which, of course, will impact on power, but also on the price.

@antdickens

Talk of 2 models, $429 and $529.

So around £300.00 could be UK launch price.

It's going to be interesting to watch either way, I just hope they keep a free onlin service . . .

Unfortunately I will be a work with no access. Gaming related sites are locked down.

@Ginko Phone?

@Ginko

Or if you're able, install Opera, and turn Turbo on. It effectively shunts all web traffic through their servers and back to your browser, so there's nothing to block from the system admin' point of view.

@Savino id be pissed lolz

@Magolor I dont know i heard a few rumors that its a possibility.

11pm why so late? now i'm not going to be able to watch it oh well i guess i'll find everything out tomorrow

@ThatOneBlackGuy and a price cut on the memory cards too

I bet my chocolate cookies that we will get 2 models of PS4, One cheaper than the other. I have the feeling that the rumour is true.

It'll be 2am here for me, Im gonna stay up! hehe #BadBoy

Crazy excited for this!

I live in Italy, so it should be 7 pm here if I'm correct.

EDIT

Oh god, don't tell me it will start at midnight :x

No more Wonderbook pls o_o

A new Jak and Daxter game would be nice .

What? This thing is in NYC? Maybe I'll take a daytrip down there, lol.

I'm seeing an old interview of Darksiders 2, it's sad knowing what happened to them.

@KALofKRYPTON : hmm. Might try your Opera suggestion. Thanks.

@Ginkgo
No probs, it also works for certain file sharing sites that may or may not be blocked by your ISP ;-p

how much time?? so i can know for my region
in hours tell me plz:D

Playstation Cloud lol

This one is amazing haha

@Valky lol, awesome.

My Body is Ready

REAL TIME PLAYSTATION CHANGE!

Wha? Is something going on with Sony this week?

i just had a thought what if this event has nothing to do with the PS4 and it's not even mentioned?

how disappointed would everyone be?

@Majin-Naruto Haha. It has crossed my mind, too. But, that's not going to happen.

@get2sammyb probably not, but just think of the uproar if it did

@KALofKRYPTON Woah, that would be lame if Sony PlayStation shut down the Plus service and replaced it with an AWFUL Premium Subscription service. Very, very lame and BAD indeed. I pray that rumor is not true.

@Majin-Naruto Oh yeah, I forgot about those memory cards.

@Majin-Naruto same thing occured to me last week, but with the amount of proof, I think we'll see the first glimpse of the ps4 today Will it be the final system look and that, probably not, even Nintendo's Wii U gamepad changed over time when we saw it. Hopefully this meeting is awesome and gets people excited for the next-gen of consoles (maybe we'll find out also that the Wii U is more/less next gen than we thought, too)

how much more time guys?

@coroum Less than six hours.

Sony will release a 16bits videogame to cover this gap on its history!

@hydeks i honestly don't think the leap to next gen is going to be a big as everyone thinks it will unlike the leap form PS2 to PS3 i think that the PS4 won't be that much different than the WiiU power wise.

My guess is bigger worlds, looooooots of particles and realistic ligthing (global ilumination, caustics effects, volumetric shadows subsurface scattering)! We will not get much more polygons or 4k textures!
Nor 4K resolution, although I think that it will run 4K blurays!

Not too long to go now, can't wait!

Expecting a PS3 cut, and possibly a new Vita design? Vita slim?

when do you think the ps4 would be coming out

@ultimatenaji In UK its 11pm gona be drinking loads of coke

They better have better games for the vita. Ive got it, but the games that are out on that are coming out arnt good. the only 1 that looks good is SOCOM

@Majin-Naruto it will be. The WiiU CPU isn't even on par with the 360.
@Savino I think your right. It'll likely be able to cope with Unreal 4 and probably push out a decent show with Crytec 2. Whether it's going to be able to do anything with that Square Enix thing though . . .

Awesome!!!

Is it wrong to watch this on my wiiu?

3 HOURS TO GO !!!
I CAN'T STAND IT NO MORE D:

I really hope this is going to be massive! Hope it makes Mircosoft think . . . We need to redesign our console to match PS4! Come on Sony send them back to the drawing boards! Haha

I'll be eating supper and playing some Crash 2 on my PSP Go during the presentation Two hours left, can't wait!

@PSOneSON
yeah!!!!

(since I cant yeah your post here...)

@dudey300 That would REALLY make me eat my beanie hat lol. It might be possible that Sony will unveil a PS Vita Slim but I can't imagine it since the PS Vita is already off to a mediocre run. I simply hope we just get new PS Vita games (i.e. Dead Space Vita) and maybe a new MediEvil game!

Hurry up already. ._. I already ate my two (small) bags of Doritos and the pizza. I need news to soothe my hunger!
And, again, let it be cheap. Please. :3

Passing the time watchinf Derek playing Sly Cooper Demo! Hurry Up Sony!

Wow, the comments section exploded.
Anyway, please have Gravity Rush 2 be announced...

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg

does anyone know how long he meeting is

I'm hyped!

First news segment to get a hundred posts?! Love It!

@ZeD and it hasn't even started yet. D:

@Blaze I know!

32 minutes..

is that how long the coverge is

@ilytir They could put a video up of the console a few games and a price and I'd be happy lol

@ilytir No idea! Based on my watch at that time, that's how long it was till the presentation.

i think the ps4 would be out on November

And that is 100!

Edit: Sorry I had to do it! Always wanted to see this site boom!

So much hype right now, and I wasn't even interested in the PS4 at first!

lool. it should be 300 or less

I hope UStream servers will endure lol

wow, just look how fast the viewer count is going up, Sony's got alot of pressure now!

a slideshow is going on. its keep on stopping. i might change

is there sound coming out. mine aint

@ilytir no sound guys, just some video in loop

I got you buddy - I got you. Just a little bit longer Sammy-boy.

k

@hydeks is yours stopping

Is it normal that i'm now vibrating in my seat due to my excitement?

@Dictator_Mayo Same! Flicked over to Youtube just to check sound, butit's ok!

every1 are your vidioes sopping alittle

Damn I'm so nervous and a little scared

yay, I have the video stopping and loading alot too, probably Ustream having fun I changed the video quality and it seems better, it's set to BEST at first, I put it to 480p

Getting pretty excited now! I wonder what it's going to look like

i put it to best now its better
whats the best 1 to put it on

If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer, then I'll be buried in the silence of the answers.

I am dying over here! 5 mins!

PS4 CME ON!!!

OK. IT'S SHOW TIME

I know it doesn't matter, but I hope the PS4 has alot of the same console design as PS2 and PS3 kept 4 MIN! WAHOO!

SOUND!

music

Even though im a Nintendo fan, im actually looking forward to this

I MORE MINUITE LEFT:)

@NinFreak I'm always excited for anything new in the industry, that's what being a gamer is all about.

Just signed up now it's 6

OMG SO HAPS

Even I'm excited and watching, and I'm not planning on buying

So, they think Vita is powerful, but they have nothing for it. Will get back to us later. Ouch for Vita users.

His hands are so tiny. O_O

PS4

Couple of hours? better get some popcorn!

Damn. The video won't play for me. It works for a second then it cuts out.

so, it's a 32 bit cpu?

Big Knack looks like Gannondorf.

@WolfRamHeart Same here.

free automatic demos over streaming, Cool!

My jaw hit the floor when 8GB of GDDR5 ram was mentioned. I was a little skeptical about the Ps4 with it using off the shelf components but I have to admit the specs have floored me. It sounds like a Beast of a console!

Just name the price >:[

my sound went dead

TAKE MY MONEY DAMMIT

Too much traffic. No reliable streams, I can listen though. I'll catch up tomorrow . . .

Drive Club = Social Driving Simulator? Pretty cool idea.

Every game is going to make you have to upload x amount of videos to get a trophy isn't it?

And dear God could they make it any more obvious it's copying Wii U at the moment?

Slightly better graphics, social networking features which I couldn't care less about and blatant copying of the Wii U. Sony best be holding the best stuff til the end as so far this has been staggeringly boring.

@get2sammyb Sorry but Killzone looked boring as hell. Beautiful yes but nothing that couldn't be done on any current console game wise. Thoroughly unimpressed.

Killzone: Shadow Fall looks awesome and better than anything the Wii U has shown to this point. It has me sold on the system. If it's day one, I'll be buying then for sure.

just give us the price and the date

inFamous Second Son looked even better. I was already pretty positive before tonight I'd be getting a PS4, Guerilla and Sucker Punch just clinched it.

Killzone looked boring. I missed Drive club and inFamous but The Witness looked interesting. So far, my socks are still on. There are some interesting features but I have yet to see enough to upgrade from my PS3.

That music thing was just Wii Music which people heavily criticised. People were clapping their hands off at it.

What did he say I missed it? NVM - new FF

Two hours of my life, wasted.

He still sounds like Rorschack.

Of course Activision would be there.

To be fair, I guess the announcement of Destiny for PS4 is pretty big.

its coming on july, august time

And... goodnight Pushsquare

err so it didn't get shown? thats a bit of a let down

Deep Down looked pretty cool. The rest of it was sequels, generic genre games or things I'm not all the interested iin. And Deep Down isn't exclusive. So I'll be waiting to buy PS4, much like PS3. I just wish they would have admitted to copying Miiverse and off-screen TV from Nintendo. Don't say you invented something new.

Well that was a pretty impressive 2 hours.

Good news for Nintendo - all those PS4 games coming to the PS3 have a chance to make it to the Wii U. Overall bad for Nintendo though, I think the "Social" aspect is much better on the PS4. Not that I care I'm as anti-social as they come.

Meh, as much as I'm a sony fan, this is pretty medicore, just art game, yet another driving game, another entry in the beauifully clunky Killzone series, Totally-not-Miiverse, and ports. And people complained about the Wii U, which at least had ZombiU and the promise of Smash.
Medevil game looks cool, though.

Did they actually show the PS4 console itself? Just wondering, I know they showed the new controller and the Kinect. I mean Eye toy.

At 20:03 somebody wrote - "PlayStation 4 is coming Holiday 2013. Start saving."

Is that truthful or just a way to keep people from buying a Wii U and the system will come out next March?

No, they didn't show the hardware... as for the date, I'll believe it when I see it!

1)Unlocking remote play to the Vita
2)Automatic streaming demos for everything
3)Start playing games the second you purchase them
4)the interesting sounding customization features in the store for the types of games you like
5)Watching the streams of your friends gameplay, as well as taking over the controls for them. That's pretty crazy.

those have to be the highlights for me. I also like the sound of their ambition to add the full catalog of ps1, ps2, and ps3 games to streaming eventually, but obviously that has to be the biggest candidate for empty promise like when they said the Vita would have remote play with the ps3.

Well that was brilliant. No idea what some people here were expecting if that didn't impress you.

I Wish David Perry would have come right out and said every PS4 and eventually PS3 game will be remote playable on the Vita. He said they are going to unlock it with Gaikai tech with the PS4 as the server and the Vita as the client, but he didn't come right out and say every PS4 game will be remote playable. And he was very vague about ps3 games if I recall. I won't be in any hurry to get a PS4 unless the remote play of my big digital ps3 catalog is universal instead of some sort of slow rollout.

Overall a great conference, almost all the hopes I had came true, starting from the specs ending to the enhanced support to the Vita, now being able to directly use a dedicated part of the PS4 engine to stream what we're playing. I enjoyed it throughly, they really learned a lesson or two from previous conferences.

And what is better than announcing new stuff even before E3? I don't know about you but I like those new IPs, especially the Capcom one.

Really, I can't thing about anything that went bad, and for such a long conference it's amazing. Only annoying stuff the streaming, sometimes it went off, or just keep going with no audio. I had to manually refresh the whole page two or three times, frustrating.

@ShogunRok

Pretty much my thoughts. They announced what I expected, and what I expect MS will announce in its first unveiling of the next Xbox. Some sequels to popular franchises, cross-gen ports and a bunch of talk about features I don't give a crap about. I got the 3 announcements I wanted, Killzone, inFamous and Watchdogs, and all look awesome so I was happy with what they showed. E3 is going to be the real battle ground. I'm sold on the system but most in North America and the UK back the Xbox brand and nothing Sony did tonight should have MS too worried.

@Gamer83

Exactly - this was the warm up to a large extent. E3 will be the real meat of the new console. A lot of people missed this point entirely.

@Squiggle55

Well, the thing about Gaikai...I always like to say it's something that is still starting...it is something that will enhance itself if given the right amount of time. It can do wonders, but that is still theoretical untill we will get our hands on it.

Right now I'm happy they confirmed those rumors about Gaikai being the next way to let you play older games.

@ShogunRok

I've got a feeling a few of the negative comments were from Nintendo fanboys. Not all, but some. In general, this and when MS announces it's new console will go the same way as when the Wii U was announced, people will just complain because that's what people do.

I think i really like that controller though! Looks sleek and comfortable

@Snorky

I'm totally with you, I would have hated if they have reworked it from scratch. Love those new shapes of the analogues, now it should be more comfortable with FPS, the triggers seems ok now. I still don't get the touchpad thing, and I still need more time to understand the real purpouse of this coloured sensor bar attached.

I was expecting at least a glimpse of the console design, some kind of creative novelty (Move, remote play, Eye Toy, multi device connection, social features...really?!), a price, a release date and the list goes on and on. The games failed to impress me, not because they don't look good or interesting, far from it, they look good, but i've seem that real time Square Enix trailer almost a year ago, if any of the developers who showed a eye candy graphics game in this presentation had said that their game were running right from the PS4 or a PC it wouldn't have make a diference for me. That's my point, it was a Playstation presentation but it felt like the Playstation wasn't there.
