@get2sammyb Haha yeah it looks cool

An amazing addiction for the VITA, we need more of this.

I have seen it earlier today, actually I found it funny

I think the best moment to start pre-ordering is the day after E3, hopefully everything will be revealed at that point.

@Majin-Naruto I would totally love that, who knows, they could port it later.

@get2sammyb What if they announce it at E3? Heh

Or it could happen, wet dreams maybe, that Gaikai will be fully operative with already a good amount of PS3 high ranked games already available straight from PS4 launch.

It looks like I will need double investment, PS3 + PS4. Hopefully the former will receive a final price cut announced during the next E3. It's a pity for all those games to be blocked forever in the PS3 for the time being. And so I hope Sony will give me some incentives to go get one while it's still hot.

Yeah, what a stupid way to go Microsoft. I respect Nintendo mainly because they have the dignity to shut up and keep silent about competitors doing. And consequentially they are respected once it's their turn to announce something big.

The games, starting from the most recent, critically acclaimed, finish to some older but still amazing title, are not exactly a cheap way of entertainment, unless some big discount. That's why used games have an importance, the rest is really about how much I can invest on a game I know it was made with excellent quality.
Problem is, PlayStation has LOTS of them, so it's always hard to choose which one to pick and buy.

Sadly I can only vote once, so I mention here all the exclusives that are on my radar (Killzone, inFamous, Knack and Drive Club).

Among 3rd parties, I'm struggling between Deep Down and Watch_Dogs, in the end I choose the latter but just becase it's already around from quite some time, giving it advantage.

Square-Enix why you always disappoint

New Killzone and Infamous are both really impressive (although my streaming quality made them look like utter crap), the cherry on the cake would be Watch Dogs or that new Capcom IP for some really strong starting titles. I have to say I don't fancy car games, they kind of bore me fast, but I'm still looking forward to this AutoClub thing.

Yes, as far as I've seen from tonight, there is pretty of material for a strong launch, of course it will be hard at start to be better than an already good PS3, for titles aspect (given that I do not have a PS3 atm).

@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.

@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.

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.

OK. IT'S SHOW TIME

Damn I'm so nervous and a little scared

I hope UStream servers will endure lol

@turtlelink I would buy a Vita just for that

Here's proof

It will be the 3DSVITA

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

@PSOneSON Someday it will be so, I'm sure of that!

So nothing for Europe or other countries?

@Sanquine
That's true, but this time around they have those proprietary memory cards, so while they can lower the price of the VITA (and I was expecting this), they can still earn a nice profit for every single memory card sold, even at the cost of being silly to their homeland people, who are still preferring a rather old system where you can use any 3rd party memory card.
VITA games are great, they will become even more, the handheld itself is state of art, but this comes at the cost that every game eats up the memory space, not mentioning additional downloads such as the apps or videos.
So it is not something based on the software alone.

Hopefully, those memory cards will become cheaper to produce and more capable, but I believe Sony will never allow 3rd parties.

Last year playstation meeting it was Kaz, am I correct?

Kaz please please pleaseeeeeeeeeee

Awesome lol

Anyway, my guess is we will get two announcers, mr Tretton is a good talker, I believe he will do most of the talking, while Hirai-san could just come into the stage right before they lift away the curtain to the PS4, leaving to Kaz this privilege.

This one is amazing haha

Playstation Cloud lol

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

No more Wonderbook pls o_o

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

@Jaz007 Because Uncharted is relatively recent compared to an old timer like GT, even my father knows it and recognize their work.

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.

I believe you will just keep paying the usual fee as a PS+ subscriber, with evidently many new features. For sure though the cloud thing won't be free of charge.

I think so too, announcing the price straight tomorrow is probably going to kill all the good mood, unless it is really that cheap as said in an older news, but then again, the price itself is usually one of the last things revealed, and it's still too early for it.
Thing is, we could get a realistic idea on how much the final price will be tomorrow.

It could be, but I see also footage from ICO and SoC, clearly they don't want us to forget.

@Zenith I could totally imagine that, way to bring back an iconic character.

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

If they, at the very last moment, surprise us with news about The Last Guardian, I am totally completely absolutely sold no matter what, really.

Probably they will show some gameplay footage of Destiny? According to a rumor, it is coming even for PS Vita (I guess by Remote Play though).

I'm expecting lots of surprises, from the console and the software, am I wrong?

Anthony Severino form PSLS has given 3 out of 10.
Here's the pros and cons:

Pros:
Zandatsu is cool and satisfying.
There are a few awesome action sequences.
The misery, I mean game, ends in five hours (lol)

Cons:
Where do I begin?
Awful parry system
Constantly obstructed camera and narrow rooms blocking view.
Enemies are overly difficult, and circle out of vision.
Bosses cannot be hit at times, adding to the ample frustration.
Bosses, grunts, even supporting characters are bland and forgettable.
Stealth and exploration are only partially done, and useless.
Story? What story? Oh, that mess.
VR Missions aren't worth playing. Offer no training opportunity.
Upgrades have little effect.
Did I mention how bad the parry and camera system are?
This game should have remained cancelled.

I'm amused beyond any normal thinking, so much that I'm actually laughing like I've read the most funny rant ever made on the Internet. This feels like a total attack to a game which yeah, it surely has its flaws, but it's like comparing it to a wast majority of total mess we get every now and then, easily forgotten.

I believe I won't return in that site ever again after this (plus the community really sucks).

Im really looking forward for this, and yeah we could use something else than MH once in a while.

@Zenith Same for me, I mean I currently don't have a PS3, I had it for a month or so then I had to give it away since I'm studying for my degree, and I was hoping to fill the gap with the PSVita. I ended up jumping out of the train as soon as I understood UMDs were no longer supported. I'm still very disappointed but anyway, maybe it was for the good and I'm still wanting a PS3, it's bound to receive sweet offers from now on and lots of fresh end gen games are coming.
The Xbox is far behind the Playstation level, with only a few titles of some interest, the rest is pretty much lame.
I am sure another long year will pass before PS4 will arrive, and even more to it starting off with a good selection of games, so it is better to wait while playing what remains of this gen, plus pretending to get a fully functional backward compatibility while there is still market for the PS3 is just wrong imho.

@ShogunRok They are well known for the Halo series so they have a background and those epic words are enough for the fans for now.

@rjejr If you look closely, the touchpad looks darker, I see some kind of reflection and the whole thing seems to take evident space with rough lines in the front and upper sides. The kind of edges I espect putting together one kind of material with another, in that case, plastic and display.
I wouldn't be surprised if that prototype is one or two years old, being nothing else but a very rough idea of the finished product.

It is true that a touchpad in the front would be difficult to reach without the need to move your hand a bit. I think the touchpad of the Vita is a good example on how to place a touchpad in a controller, that's because you don't need a constant visual contact with it.

Maybe, for now, the streaming thing could simply works in such a way it will seemingly transfer data in your HDD, allowing you to play once 1/4 of it is stored, with the feature to save what you have already got, and resume if you connection drops or you turn off the console (by that I mean plugging it off completely).
Of course you need to subscribe and create an account.
This could work even if you can't get a decent connection, I watch satellite TV shows this way, and believe me I have a very bad connection, all you need is to plan it so you know you can play the next day.
I go over and say this might be how we will get the backward compatibility.

Cloud gaming in itself is, simply put, still to be throughly tested, and a fiber connection needs to become a common thing before we will see anything worthy.

So far I have tried the Kinect from a friend, in short, it's absolutely the most useless thing I have ever tried. It left me quite a bad feeling about those kind of devices. Still, I see what Nintendo did with their Wiimotes, and I understand those things can play a nice role, but I wouldn't say just "for casuals". Sony definitively needs to support motion devices more, (and by that I mean something not aimed for childrens like "Wonderbook"), there is space for improvement and their decision to bring motion devices straight with the PS4 could be a good thing.

As a core gamer I want to be surronded with devices for my core gaming needs, only then I can witness the success.
