[Puppet Shadow]

Yay, production values!

So it looks like this and the Francis video will have to hold me over for now.


I can't believe at this point I'd be more impressed with a shaky-cam video taken in a poorly lit basement decorated with pink unicorns wrapped in bacon, by a guy wearing a diaper who screams every word... as long as he shows me new UI stuff.

 

[MEsoJD]

That was awesome!

 

[panty]

I prefer the MN re-boxing video-

This gets me everytime, so freacking good.

 

[Night Hunter]

I almost didn't recognize Shu without the glasses.

 

[LuuKyK]

Not probably, you can clearly see it's the same set.

Cmon.

I was being sarcastic. :lol

Its clearly the same set.

 

[Bad_Boy]

How is that a lengthy demonstration ? I've seen that. I'm talking about a proper video, someone going all the features properly. Boogies video will have to do for now.

Calm down. At the most you'll have to wait 4 more days. You're not going to cancel a preorder in thr next 4 days over a UI demo are you?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

That is certainly one way to unbox a console.. I like it!

PS: I dunno why, but the end bit with Yoshida, saying Greatness Awaits. I thought for a second that it was Kim Jung-Un, that was a real WTF moment right there.

Imagine instead of Yosp it was Banderas at the end

 

[TimeEffect]

Lmfao. Seriously?

They are having some great fun at Sony. Wonder when the Banderas shop-in will hit.

 

[SJRB]

That was hype as fuck, haha!

Love how Shu saves the console itself for last and reflects it in the light.


...18 more days... *sigh*

 

[Nymphae]

Really strange that it's so similar to the RAM unboxing video. I really wish that headset wasn't an earbud.

 

[PJV3]

Weird but good.

 

[RoboPlato]

That was so over the top :lol

Loved it. My unboxing will probably look more like Francis'

 

[Kyleoty]

4 more days

 

[sublimit]

This is my first post on NeoGAF, so glad to join the community

Did anyone else think of this when he raised up the PS4? Immediately flashed into my mind when the light hit the console.

Lol that's what i thought as well!And welcome.

 

[DoomGyver]

The only thing that would have made it better would be to replace Yoshida with Banderas.

 

[mohsinkhan]

Only knock I have against the PS4 is that headset, everything else looks great.

 

[hawk2025]

lol, I love people wondering if they copied/reused sets from Daft Punk for this.

Of course they did. The E3 press conference opened with Daft Punk. It has been featured multiple times in PS4 events. By all accounts, Daft Punk is the "official" band of the PS4, and the video is obviously a direct reference to that.


The ending should have been Banderas instead of Yoshida. EDIT: Beaten by 10 or so people on this

 

[Mik_Pad]

I like it, obviously not meant to be serious. Nice to see that Sony has a good sense of humor.

 

[VanWinkle]

Hahaha that was hilarious. I can't wait for this thing!

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Calm down. At the most you'll have to wait 4 more days. You're not going to cancel a preorder in thr next 4 days over a UI demo are you?

I am calm and no, don't talk soft.

 

[Superflat]

Oh god this is amazing. Self-serious dramatic music while they display the Network Voucher *for limited time while supplies last and the Quick Start Guide - English.

How this isn't seen as comedy is beyond me. They have good humor in most of their videos.

 

[chubigans]

I like the Banderas gifs as much as the next guy but if he closed this video I would have canceled my preorder and thrown my PS3 out the window.

 

[TomoK]

That guy means business.

 

[BBboy20]

Hmm, I thought it had an actual headset and not an earpiece. :\

Might get this one from Best Buy.

Man, I reallly miss the 360's original headset jack (it's back but the volume have buttons and isn't 3.5 =/)

 

[Platinum_D]

Short and sweet friday will be here soon

 

[Brain of J]

Sony's been avoiding the UI like a creepy Uncle at Christmas. It's either gonna be awesome or shit. No in between.

 

[Mononoke]

Have to say, I'm really glad to be on NeoGAF with all of you good people during this launch. I've never been this excited to be apart of a launch, and it feels great to share in this with all of you.

This video has me salivating. Just makes it all the more real that it's going be out next week.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Banderas should be on the PS4 as he is holding it up.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Man, I reallly miss the 360's original headset jack (it's back but the volume have buttons and isn't 3.5 =/)

Ps4 jack is similar to 360's no? I should be able to connect my iPhone headset instead until a get a decent pair

Wrong thread?

 

[Kyleoty]

Like it but need other stuff too. Xbone had a real nice video about next gen wheels. I wish Sony would do an interview with someone about wheels. However since DC got pushed back the need for a wheel day one is no longer there.

 

[SweetTeddie]

Yoshida with sexy hair is hilarious.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Yoshida with sexy hair is hilarious.

It's Yoshida from the future

 

[jond76]

This made me laugh out loud. I'd be embarrassed to show that. Lol. I watched it on my phone and it looked like pubes or something

Holy crap. 5 more days. I'm not getting a PS4 at launch, but I'm looking forward to seeing impressions.

 

[Alchemist]

Shu is the man.

 

[Steel]

Compared to the other unboxing videos I've seen that made me roll my eyes, this one made me chuckle. It also made me more hyped. God damn it amazon, ship my ps4 already!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Damn, Sony played it smart. You can't reverse the unboxing video to make fun of the PS4.

100% positive that this is the reason they did it this way. And no matter what Larry says, you don't want this to see this happen with your unboxing video.

 

[Boke1879]

Sony's been avoiding the UI like a creepy Uncle at Christmas. It's either gonna be awesome or shit. No in between.

On Thursday I tweeted Sid Shuman about when we could see a UI video. He said before launch and that he thinks we'll like it.

At this point I would say we get it either tomorrow or Tuesday. I think we'll be getting a video each day leading up to the launch event.

Don't forget Geoff said he will start teasing the announcements tomorrow and Gregg Miller will start talking about stuff as well. Should be a fun week.

 

[Tadale]

I'm glad they're having fun with all of this. Shu is a sport.

 

[TimeEffect]

They should have got Aram Jabbari to sniff the shit out of it.

He is truly the king of unboxings

 

[Mikey Jr.]

It makes it extra hilarious when you know that it is mimicking the Daft Punk "unboxing" of their new record.

 

[hawk2025]

I like the Banderas gifs as much as the next guy but if he closed this video I would have canceled my preorder and thrown my PS3 out the window.

Nonsense! It would have been the perfect culmination for this, which has been Banderas week

I feel like it would be the perfect time for the meme to die after that. There would be nowhere else to go.





...of course, but then we would get more gifs, of Banderas reacting TO the unboxing video of himself.

 

[Kaako]

Shu never fails to crack me up. Greatness Awaits.

 

[Jburton]

Sony's been avoiding the UI like a creepy Uncle at Christmas. It's either gonna be awesome or shit. No in between.

Either that or everything is being released in accordance with a plan.

smh.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Yoshidas smile at the end. lol

Not really:

[ANDS]

HDMI cable for the win.........I wonder how many people still think they cost 100+ dollars?

I thought I read that the USB cable wasn't included? Or was that just extra DS4's don't come with a USB cable?

Headset looks crappy

What do you wawnt - some Beats by Dre? It's a pack-in in the same vein as cell-phone headphones.

 

[Alchemist]

I hope Sony get that headset patch out quickly after launch because that mono earphone will not suffice.

 

[viveks86]

This made me laugh out loud. I'd be embarrassed to show that. Lol. I watched it on my phone and it looked like pubes or something

Holy crap. 5 more days. I'm not getting a PS4 at launch, but I'm looking forward to seeing impressions.

The whole video was so over the top and tongue in cheek. Laughed through every bit of it! Well done, Sony!

 

[Donthizz#]

ElTorro do your thang...

 

[SlowRevolution]

before hearing the daft punk stuff I assumed they'd gotten joel schumacher to direct this.
