Happenstance Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Cant wait for the PS4 and its faster/better downloads. Took ages to download the 4 gigs for Most Wanted but I could at least do it while I was playing Ni No Kuni. Now its installed I have to download 2 more gigs worth of updates which cant be done in the background

Tales Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I think I'll wait until inFamous, or if FFXV is relatively close, until then. Since I will be buying Watch Dog for PS3 there's no reason for me to buy a next gen console for now. Although if it does end up at 3500 local money, I might buy it if is possible to just step in and say "do you have a PS4 in stock?". But preorder, no.
dwarf Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Nothing has convinced me yet, but I'm sure it won't be long until something does.
Jimbob Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Phew, lucky i got a pre-order down the day after E3. Guaranteed launch day.
Rummy Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Apparently there's a PS4 event at Loading Bar/Madd in Soho tonight(had the AC streetpass event), if any londoners are interested. I won't be going cos I've taken some work this afternoon though.
Ashley Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 According to Twitter, it's Ubisoft with AC4 and Watch Dogs.
Shorty Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 the first place in the UK that you can go hands-on with it Guess they were wrong then :p
Jimbob Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Made a few gaming pre-orders yesterday, ordered Assassins Creed IV, Watch Dogs and NBA for now. May consider a 4th depending on funds closer to the time.
Daft Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Just watched the Octodad trailer. It looks like a ridiculous amount of fun. The road to release begins... PS4 keynote is coming to TGS 2013 Sony will host a PlayStation 4 keynote presentation during next month's Tokyo Game Show, Japanese blog Remoon reports (as translated by Gematsu.) The presentation, which for now is being referred to as "The World PlayStation 4 Creates," is scheduled to take place on Sept. 19, the first day of this year's TGS. SCE president Andrew House will host the keynote alongside senior vice president Masayasu Ito and Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida. PS4 consoles will also be playable at the event, publisher Capcom confirmed last week with the announcement of a playable PS4 demo for its next-gen fantasy game Deep Down. Tokyo Game Show will run from Sept. 19 to Sept. 22 this year. We've contacted Sony for full confirmation. http://www.polygon.com/2013/8/5/4589816/ps4-keynote-is-coming-to-tgs-2013
Jimbob Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Toys R Us are stating the UK release for the PS4 is December 13th 2013. They confirm this is accurate, but no-one else has not even Sony. What sort of date would be suitable for this, considering the One is coming out in November.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Rumour time. Sony may introduce a hardware bundle containing a PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita when the next-gen console goes on sale later this year, according to a new report. Inside Gaming Daily claims to have been told by a "well-placed anonymous source" that a bundle containing the two consoles will release at "the end of the year" for "around $500" (~ £325). If true, the bundle may offer a healthy saving on buying the two consoles individually. A PlayStation Vita currently costs around $249.99 (£169.99), with PS4 set to cost $399.99 (£349) when it goes on sale this Christmas. I was expecting something like this to happen especially as Sony are pushing the Vita as a companion to the PS4. I would like to see it as I think the Vita is a nice bit of kit and would like to see it be more successful.

You'd think they'd want it out around the same time as some of the bigger third party releases.
Jimbob Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 December is too late. You'd think they'd want it out around the same time as some of the bigger third party releases. That's what i was thinking, plus if the One comes out 1 month before the PS4 that gives them an advantage in the market. What would be interesting, release both on the same day.

I would like to see it as I think the Vita is a nice bit of kit and would like to see it be more successful. I'm not particularly convinced by this strategie but, if true, I'm very interested to see how it does.
Happenstance Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 I just want a proper release date to be announced so I can start the necessary budgeting.
liger05 Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Rumour time. I was expecting something like this to happen especially as Sony are pushing the Vita as a companion to the PS4. I would like to see it as I think the Vita is a nice bit of kit and would like to see it be more successful. I am sceptical. $100 for a vita. Unless Sony are prepared to lose a bunch of money then I dont see it.
Daft Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 PS4 game downloads can 'rearrange by popularity' PS4 developers can adjust what parts of their games are downloaded by consumers first, meaning that more in-demand content can be prioritised. The new option for consumers is the result of better analytical feedback given to developers, along with the PS4's capability to break vast game downloads into smaller playable chunks. Studios can discover what parts of a game are the most popular and adjust game downloads so that the most highly sought content comes first. Sounds good.
Ashley Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 It looks like a ridiculous amount of fun. It reminds me of when you sleep on your arm and try and use it the next morning, but for your whole body. Talking about release dates Let's face it, the PS4 is going to be on sale at the very latest before Nov 28th in USA. Truthfully, I'd imagine that's the latest it will be available here too, with the US getting it at the start of the month. I guess Toys R Us have just picked that date because its the last date they would expect it, so if the date is any sooner they don't lose face (compared to if they had to say "we were wrong, its two months later!")
Daft Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 New PlayStation 4 pre-orders no longer guaranteed for launch Sony can no longer guarantee that if you pre-order a PlayStation 4 in the UK you'll get it at launch. A directive was sent to a number of UK retailers including Amazon and ShopTo. ShopTo displayed the message first: "Sony have confirmed all PlayStation 4 pre-orders placed from 6th August will now not be guaranteed for launch. You can still pre-order PS4 with us in case we receive cancellations and can fulfil your order for launch." ShopTo confirmed to Eurogamer that this order came from Sony and applied to any European retailer. Amazon soon followed with a similar message. "Please note - due to high demand, orders placed for the PlayStation 4 console from 6th August may be received after release date. We will ship orders as soon as we receive sufficient inventory."
Jimbob Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 GAME advised me of that over the weekend when i pre-ordered some games. Luckly i had an order in since E3, unless GAME f**k it up and i don't get one at launch.
bryanee Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I've had my pre-ordered with the shopto since the day the console was announced in Feb.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I wanted to preorder one, I really did, especially after the great E3 Sony had but I decided to wait till Gamescom and now it could be too late. The problem for me is that there isn't any software that really appeals to me at launch. I like the Killzone series but I don't see it as a system seller, for me at least. If Infamous had launched with the console then that would have been a different story as I love those games. Another factor is that the PS3/Vita still has a great line up of titles for the end of the year. I have Tales of Xillia arriving this week ( with Symphonia HD and Xillia 2 next year ) and in the coming months Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix, Tearaway, Killzone: Mercenary, Beyond: Two Souls, Puppeteer, Dragons Crown, Final Fantasy X-X2 HD, Killer is Dead, Marvel Super Heroes and Ratchet and Clank: Nexus. It's an insane list and looking at it you wouldn't think that Sony's next console is ready and waiting to be released. It's great to see this kind of support so late in the consoles life.
