Playstation Meeting trailer: See the Future. Feb. 20th [Will Be Livestreamed]

How much was known about the Vita's games before they were unveiled at the 2011 PS Meeting? Did they manage to keep all of them (Uncharted, Wipeout etc.) under wraps before their unveiling?
 
Maybe its the hype; Sony is so great at generating it, but it feels like we're going to see the Sony from PS1/PS2 days as far as aggressively competing at every angle this coming launch.

That's what those 'in the know' are saying.

It's also pretty evident by their cock-sure promotion of this meeting.

1200 people are going to be bored to death by powerpoint and then shown a PS4 with a next gen wonderbook demo. Thats it.

After the show rumors will leak that they were going to show AAA games but they are being held for E3.

You should watch the NGP reveal for an idea of what to expect. Though I'm expecting more first party game footage, rather than just some very quick demos and a sizzle real.

It was reported that Sony Bend were working on an Uncharted game for the Vita about a month or so before Playstation Meeting 2011.

I can't remember if the other games were known.

'Twas the night before the conference, when all through the GAF
Not a creature was stirring, not even a troll;
The gifs were uploaded to abload with care,
In hopes that St. Hirai soon would be there;

The juniors were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of giant crabs danced in their heads;
And Ballmer in his 'kerchief, and Reggie his cap,
Had just settled down for a long generation nap,

When out in the forum there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from OT to see what was the matter.
Away to gaming I flew like a flash,
Tore open a new window and put down the hash.

The orange on the description of the new-fallen blow
Gave the lustre of last-gen to topics below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a massive leak, and a Nintendo fans tear.

With a little old magic and nothing awry,
I knew in a moment it must be St Hirai.
More rapid than montages his announcements they came,
And he sizzled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now TLG! now, Versus! a spin-off like Wario !
On, SF5! On, Ultima! on 3rd party mario!
To the top of the NPD! and Media Create!
Now launch away! launch away! with concrete release dates!"

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the server
The cheering and joy of the PS4 ferver.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the internet the gifs came with a bound.

He was dressed all in Armani, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all perfect with a great tie to boot.
A bundle of BC dongles he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a gaming god, just opening his pack.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the download queues, then called Mattrick a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the Sony stock rose!

He sprang to his helicopter, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy PS4 to NeoGAF, and to all a good-night!"

Quoting for new page because its godlike.
10/10
 
I'm wondering now if perhaps we may see something, if only a trailer, of Ready at Dawn's new IP.
It's been known for a while they are working on a next gen game.

Would be amazing to see a PS4 God of War (read: amazing action game) type game at launch.

BruceLeeRoy seems to have made this pointless possibly........but:

Neither BLR or GopherD sound like bullshitters. Seems like there is enough ambiguity in GopherD's post where there could be some weird amount of RAM very nearly around 4 (more, presumably) yet not 8GB. 8GB of GDDR5 is never ever happening. So if that number is indeed significantly higher than 4GB it would have be something other than GDDR5. So that conclusion leads me to fucking nowhere.

People knew about Mortal Kombat but I don't think there were any leaked videos or screenshots before the event. The leaks were all about the hardware itself.

Completely agree. And we might not have the answer on Wednesday either.

Flawless. You have a masterful way with words!
 
I'm all for Killzone and GT6 showcasing the hardware and being a great first year for PS4, but man, when was the last time Sony's WWS did anything in the RPG genre? The Legend of Dragoon? Really want to see there take on this genre. I know the traditional JRPG doesn't sell as well as it used to, but Skyrim Mass Effect do great numbers. Would really like to see what a team like Santa Monica or ND could do in this space, so yeah, bring on the new IP's...Show us what Gaikai is for, make another sleek looking platform. Release reasonably priced, but give hardcore guys a more expensive option. And bring the old Sony back, aggressive and all about the games.

Haven't been a Playstation fan since the PS2. But I' excited to watch the livestream. I think next-gen will be the generation I go back having a Playstation.

I would love to be wrong. Not what I am hearing though. In all honesty though the people that actually know the final makeup of this console are not the kind that will be 'leaking' anything.

It's all good. I believe both you and GopherD are posting in good faith. I'll be happy with 4GB anyway. Any more is just gravy. :)

They are most definitely posting in good faith. Others... not so much. There needs to be a reckoning come final specs time -- sometimes you'd think damn near half of GAF were insiders. I get that we are all working with incomplete information -- but some people walked a very fine line between insider and opportunistic bullshitter.
I'm not sure how it worked last time, but are we gonna see specs tomorrow?
Specs, release date, and price are all very unlikely. If specs are discussed they won't be in a meaningful manner. We'll get stuff like: "Using a powerful AMD GPU blah, blah, blah..."

Micron in their Stockholder meeting stated they would be making custom memory for next generation game consoles.

http://semimd.com/blog/tag/micron/

Elpida Develops Faster Wide IO Mobile DRAM Product 11/2011

Micron recently purchased Elpida Memory after they developed Wide IO memory and Micron is producing memory for TSMC and Amkor which are assembling Wide IO memory.

And we have our rumored 2 Gbyte and 4 Gbyte PS4 memory sizes above. 1024 bits wide (512 bits per wide IO chip) with two chips on Interposer. 2 Gigabyte already shipping 6 months ago with maybe 4 Gigabyte ready to upgrade the memory specs.

2 or 4 Gbyte Wide IO with two chips each 512 bits wide has support but not 8 GByte

soo.... slower than the 4GB GDDR5 that's the current standard rumor for PS4. (going by the full article saying 12.8 GB/s vs. what wiki is saying GDDR5 is.)
 
It might have been mentioned before, but could someone who's watching the event live create a spoiler free post with youtube links to the conference for those who can't watch the livestream?

I know what you mean. From a personal point of view, I am so hyped up for this reveal that I'm hypersensitive. Take BruceLeeRoy's last reply to me. I'm wondering if it's a hint! (don't worry Bruce, I know its not)

Everything will hopefully calm down when the event is over and/or certain posters are more free to talk.

Just leave the Gametrailers link open on your desktop, or copy and paste the link from the OT into MS Word or something. Put your computer in 'sleep' mode and then click the link when you get in, it'll load the stream from the start - no spoilers. If you go on the net = instant spoilers.

HA! Very true. However... I think Bruce may have something behind his claims ;)

You mean this link? http://www.gametrailers.com/games/tkebzh/playstation-4

The page seems to be covered with promo videos/potentially spoileriffic content. Do they have a link directly to the stream and nothing else?

No. I actually think someone is making that thread. It usually happens for E3 and whatnot. Just make the thread tomorrow. Bookmark it. And check nothing else (twitter, facebook, YT, gaming sites, GAF) until you've clicked that bookmark and watched the stream. I'm expecting things to leak tomorrow night or Wednesday morning. As the event approaches there are less consequences for leaks.
