Support NeoGAF

[Agent Ironside]

So much for letting Microsoft announce first and steal their thunder. Probably was just deliberately misleading in order to...

Now THIS is the GAF I remember.

 

[ricen-beans]

the sooner they launch PS4 the sooner they can discontinue Vita, so I understand the hurry.

I think it'll be the opposite. Vita will play nice with the PS4

 

[Robot Pants]

Epic, can you please give me the orginal of this please? I see not only one, but TWO ORBISESSSSS moving and better than the circle in the teaser video

I. Would. Destroy.

 

[tapedeck]

Nope dude. Those are just close ups of the square, cross, circle and triangle renders.

Yeah that's what I thought too, just the shapes zoomed in. I really dont see why people think its the system but gaf always dissects the shit out of everything

I was curious about the source as well.

EDIT: Well... shit

Sometimes it feels like people unplug their brains when they enter a next-gen thread.

No, I just have a sense of humor. Lighten up.

 

[Chittagong]

Looks like the system being shown in the trailer. Probably already been pointed out, but I did not read every page. Anyway:

That was my first impression as well. Got a bit unsure when it turned to the symbols but yes the beginning does look like the edge of a device

 

[Wynnebeck]

omg omg omg

Dance Psylocke, dance!

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Interesting if true...

Looks kind of like the PS2 design (best designed Sony console, imho).

 

[Wolves Evolve]

I'm sure it's nothing, but I'm trying to work out what's being rendered here. Top right is the triangle, but the light falls oddly on the left and bottom. Also the blue and light blue separations make no sense. It might not be a render of anything, but it doesn't look like the four symbols either.

 

[ironcreed]

Nope dude. Those are just close ups of the square, cross, circle and triangle renders.

Hm, really? Looks just like a console. Perhaps that was part of the tease with it being so close up. At any rate, we shall know soon enough!

 

[rockman zx]

Will it be streamed or we will find out afterwards?.

 

[ChosenPredator]

I thought you guys were hallucinating about that video but it actually does show a console

it has some type of circle on the top

 

[ChanDangle]

Will it be streamed or we will find out afterwards?.

The title man.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Livestream IS A GO

http://kotaku.com/5980715/is-sony-going-to-announce-the-next-playstation-on-february-20

UPDATE: We've confirmed with Sony that the event will be livestreamed. More details to come.

YES.

 

[Robot Pants]

Will it be streamed or we will find out afterwards?.

Only if you own a devkit and have Playstation Media app can you access the livestream.
otherwise youll have to get your news on the conference after the fact at www.icantbebotheredtoreadthetitleofthreads.biz.info

 

[LuuKyK]

Will it be streamed or we will find out afterwards?.

Read the title of the thread again.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sick day confirmed.

Yep a day of this plus playing MGR:R

 

[twinturbo2]

This is like the 2014 Corvette tease, minus Jalopnik leaking it a year early.

 

[HooYaH]

Looks like Sony is going back to their Black and Blue theme.

 

[Tidesofblood]

So much for letting Microsoft announce first and steal their thunder. Probably was just deliberately misleading in order to...

best GIFS so far hahaha xD

 

[brandonh83]

Looks like Sony is going back to their Black and Blue theme.

Hopefully. I love the PS2 aesthetic.

What did you expect? When there are threads like "What Happened To Durango?" on B3D, this is pretty tame for GAF, especially for an announcement of this magnitude. Imagine if this was a Durango teaser ..

 

[bobbytkc]

Well, I hope it looks sexy.

Their mobile design team is awesome. The Xperia Z makes me drool.

 

[Zen]

Let's examine the magic of gravity and spinning.

What happened to that muscle guy that was all about Killzone 2 and the PS3. Youtube video guy, can anyone remember him>

 

[Chittagong]

It would be amazing if it was sharply angular and geometric like PS2, that's the vibe I get from the trailer. The PS3 super slim is heinous, hope PS4 is really different

 

[rdrr gnr]

This is the right move for Sony because Microsoft will probably have the largest marking campaign in history. They need this presentation to click for gamers and be replayed on the news and tech sites. The appeal and hook of the console needs to be present.

"Hey, did you hear about PS4. It has __________ ____________ and ____________!" so when Microsoft drops the hundreds of millions of dollars -- the informed consumer is still left with a decision. It just can't be the next Sony console -- it needs to deliver. The reveal is probably more important than E3 or any core title they could release.

[Gartooth]

So excited to see the PS4. (I swear MS if you don't get the next Xbox out this year...)

After a rather boring 2012, 2013 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting/best years in gaming. First half is already shaping up to be incredible as it is with all the great games coming out in such a short amount of time but combined with the potential of two new consoles, this is definitely shaping up to be a year to remember.

 

[Replicant]

That time means Thursday, 21 February 2013 at 10:00:00 AM in Sydney, Australia.

Fuck, I'm at work and then I have boxing class at 12PM. What am I supposed to do?

 

[tranciful]

confirmed

 

[ChosenPredator]

 

[Frolow]

Glad the livestream was confirmed, even if it was expected.
And seeing these hilarious gifs makes me want to go back into gif making.

Brilliant.

 

[Radec]

Xperia Z design team working closely with the PlayStation design team.

Imagine the possibilities.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

The PS4 is going to be baaaaaaaalllllliiiiiiin!

 

[Devilgunman]

I'm looking at reflection on those shinny surfaces right now. I think it has something.

 

[SparkTR]

In the past do these kinds of announcements focus on specs or games?

 

[artist]

full marks for shine bright like a diamond.

 

[ironcreed]

Whether it's a console being shown or not, I also get huge PS2 vibes from that image, and that is a good thing.

 

[twinturbo2]

They announced the Vita at a press conference like this.

 

[Desty]

This thread is amazing. Sony has unlocked the First Strike trophy.

 

[tapedeck]

Yeah the ps2s look and color scheme was pretty boss, I'd love for ps4's aesthetic to draw from that.

 

[tranciful]

Wonderbook

 

[DBT85]

Well, we did hear rumours that it would be announced within weeks.

About. Damn. Time.

 

[Tunic]

Can't wait to see what is announced. Hyped!

 

[NeoUltima]

I really love the aesthetic they have going on in that trailer. Visual and sound effects. I hope that carries over to the PS4's OS and future marketing.

 

[SolarPowered]

Oh this is awesome. They are actually livestreaming it too? Next gen is almost upon us.
