I know you guys hate Pachter but...

Wait... if Pachter says it's a console reveal... does that mean it won't be?

 

[thesuperfunk]

3 WEEKS!? All aboard!

 

[Dr Dogg]

People make so much of the kaz 'not going first' comment when the context of that comment was not clear and he may have been as easily referring to Nintendo and why Sony didnt't go before them, as MS specifically. I expressed skepticism at the time that the comment meant all that people thought it did.

I think he said they were in no rush and the MS could make their move so the press takes that and prints the headline '"You First Microsoft" says Sony'.

 

[Tabz]

2011 to unveil the Vita.

2005 to unveil the PS3's launch plans.

Ok,I'm in

 

[Kyon]

A redesign ain't happenin for the Vita for like another year. Frankly other than HDMI out I don't see it needing one. Unless there is one with built in memory or a cheaper screen to release a cheaper model.

 

[MrDenny]

Hyped!
Anyone notice the yellow/orange color in the trailer?
New color, new button?

 

[plainr_]

It's definitely the PS4. PS Meetings aren't for hardware refreshes or new services.

I think the other big news is that this PS Meeting is being held in the US for the very first time.

2011 to unveil the Vita.

2005 to unveil the PS3's launch plans.

First mention of PS3 officially - with all the info, trailers etc. - was E3 2005.

PS2 was unveiled at a PS meeting though.

 

[Zeal]

 

[ksamedi]

Hype hype.

PS4 WiiU for me this gen.

 

[burnfout]

I don't understand why people think it would be anything other than the next playstation. The idea they can't release any PS3 software after it's announced is just dense.

Yeah I don't get it either. God of War 2 was released not only after the PS3 was announced, but after the PS3 came out!

 

[unaveragekid2]

inb4 Ron Paul.

This was the first thing I thought of. Before hardware, before software, before anything. Ron Paul.

GAF has broken me.

 

[Spongebob]

PS4 Hype!!!

Post 1000!

I did it

Hyped for the 20th!

 

[Yawnier]

I don't understand why people think it would be anything other than the next playstation. The idea they can't release any PS3 software after it's announced is just dense.

My thoughts exactly. I just pointed out in my previous post that Sony did indeed release several major 1st party titles for the PS2 after the announcement of the PS3.

 

[StuBurns]

Wait... if Pachter says it's a console reveal... does that mean it won't be?

Even a stopped watch is right twice a day.

 

[dragonflys545]

Let the leaks begin. We all know Sony is leaky ship.

 

[Equus Bellator Apex]

Here ya go, not my best... but still!

yes.

 

[Drago]

So is this meeting going to entirely be a hardware unveiling, or will there be a tech demo or maybe a game announcement thrown in too?

 

[Tabz]

It's definitely the PS4. PS Meetings aren't for hardware refreshes or new services.

I think the other big news is that this PS Meeting is being held in the US for the very first time.

It's like telling MS "Fuck you!"

I need to go to sleep but this thread is like a magnet.

I'm in bed and on my phone now lol.

Fuck sleep i can work without sleep.

Eh i shoud really go to sleep

 

[The_Monk]

2011 to unveil the Vita.

2005 to unveil the PS3's launch plans.

So good. It's really happening, then.

 

[Baleoce]

I agree that I think they will be very sketchy on the details. They'll just literally announce the system, and some software plans perhaps on both console and handheld side. I'd love for there to be some cross-functionality Vita announcements but I doubt they'll do anything like that this early.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

can't wait to see this

I get massive chills and a rush of heat through my body SIMULTANEOUSLY.

 

[Despera]

Hype hype.

PS4 WiiU for me this gen.

That's the combination I'm considering the most as well. But who knows, I might end up getting all three like this gen.

 

[plainr_]

So is this meeting going to entirely be a hardware unveiling, or will there be a tech demo or maybe a game announcement thrown in too?

We will most likely see tech demos and a glimpse of some games. No doubt Kojima will be on stage showing off something in the works.

 

[gadwn]

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

Weren't they going to let Microsoft do the first move? :lol

guys

guys

guys

I think I kinda improved it

Now I REALLY need some sleep :lol

what a champ! KAZ, KAZ, KAZ!! WOOOOO!

 

[ajb1888]

WOAH

 

[CoLaN]

FINALLY.

This generation lasted way too long, even if it gave us awesome games (Uncharted, LBP, etc)

 

[TAS]

God damn..that teaser trailer has got me pumped!

 

[paradise_circus]

So is this meeting going to entirely be a hardware unveiling, or will there be a tech demo or maybe a game announcement thrown in too?

there will be the new console with some intel from sony and from the other big thirs + some demos

 

[Boss Man]

I like how everyone thinks it's PS4. I really like the optimism but I feel pretty comfortable in saying this has nothing to do with PS4. Facts are:

- Kaz said they would let MS show their hand first. MS is definitely not announcing prior to February 20th
- Sony has 3 big 1st party games still coming for PS3 (TLOU, GOWA, Beyond) with GOW less than a month after Feb 20th and TLOU less than 3 months after it. A PS4 announcement would undoubtedly negatively effect the sales of those games.

IMHO I think the most likely scenarios are:

1) PS Gaikai - rental service for PS services. Play legacy PS games on a browser, tablet. Play PS1/2/3 on vita with a lower res for the PS3 games. Play PS4 games on PS3 with lower res, etc
2) PS Vita 2000/XL/Tablet/Phone/Mini/Whatever along with a price drop. Took 3 years for the first PSP redesign, but the 3000 and the GO were just 1 year apart. Times have also changed, 3DS XL came some 15 months after the 3DS and the vita sales are pathetic but they said they want the vita to be around for the long haul. This is the best time to try to revive it and relaunch it as if they try to announce a redesign/price drop AND the PS4 at E3, the Vita news will get swallowed by PS4 hype
3) Games. Not as likely because they won't show PS4 games and all big PS3 games that are coming out have already been announced and are pretty much set in stone. It would be mainly major vita games to try to revive the platform like Nintendo tried to do with the WiiU on the last Nintendo Direct. Maybe show big 3rd party games, if R* was indeed working on it like they were rumored to be, get their game out there, or something like that.
4) PS4 announcement. I conceive it's possible, but Sony would have to be pretty fucking dumb to announce it on the 20th

Can't believe I didn't notice, but is that a different PlayStation font or am I going mad?

 

[HardRojo]

I can't believe it's so close, it's been a long time... it's finally happening!

 

[Punkster_NY]

Holy shit! I thought we were going to have to wait until May! Yes! Yes! God! Thank you!

 

[googleplex]

What happened to Microsoft making the first move?

11th dimensional chess.

 

[Moosichu]

First mention of PS3 officially - with all the info, trailers etc. - was E3 2005.

PS2 was unveiled at a PS meeting though.

Aaah sorry. I wasn't actively following the PS3 unveilings, I just remember at the Vita meeting Sony saying: "we last saw you when we unveiled ps3" or something to that effect. Thanks for clearing it up though .

 

[Digital-Hero]

PlayStation Meeting.

Look back at previous ones and what happened.

They're for new platforms.

Indeed, there really isn't anything else they would hold a meeting for at this point.

 

[The Omega Man]

but then

 

[Zeal]

Your move, Microsoft.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Well played sir, perfect response.

 

[Represent.]

Omfg HYPEEE.

Im willing to bet we'll see GTA V again on this day, announced for PS4.

Im fucking readddyyyy for next gen.

 

[The_Monk]

I'm selling tickets for the biggest Hype Train on GAF.

But it's almost sold out. Get yours, NOW!

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Can't believe I didn't notice, but is that a different PlayStation font or am I going mad?

Looks like the ps1 and ps2 one they used for gamebox.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

This thread is moving to damn fast. I just want to repost this in case anyone missed it. Anyone willing to take any bets? I would almost be will to bet my account if this is a ps4 announcement and it doesn't go like this.

I would definitely be willing to change my avatar to whatever of anyone choosing, and Vise versa. We have to lay down the ground rules though.



I don't think they'll do hardly any of that. You guys will likely be pretty disapointed about the actual details and amount of info revealed.

Heres my PREDICTION:

-PS4 anouncement with concept images. in right bottom hand corner it will say "subject to change"

-Speech about there overall direction for the console and what they think it means for the industry.

-very very basic details of the device.

"See you at E3!" on the last slide. THE END

This will close out the very end of the meeting. It will be preceeded by trailers and info for GoW: A, Beyond: Two Souls(whihc may get a release date), and The Last of Us. Sales updates for PS3 and Vita, AND pricedrops for both. OH almost forgot, a couple sizzle reals throw in showing Vita and PS3 software for good measure.

BAM

As an executive, I'd doubt you'd want to send out invitations to your institutional investors for a meeting like that, unless you want to create the kind of bad feelings that end up in executives losing their jobs.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

I get massive chills and a rush of heat through my body SIMULTANEOUSLY.

I have the same feels my man.

 

[Thabass]

Hideo Kojima suddenly appears.

"And here's the fist trailer for Zone of The Enders 3, exclusively for the PS4".

Oh my balls if that were to happen.

 

[Kyon]

OMG what if they show off Last Guardian *____* or even VERSUS PLZZZZ

LordT the HYPE
