[silver.tongue]

The head movement in this is nextgen. Feels so real.
Please let the game release just like that.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Holy shit. That should sell some PS4s right then.

"I want my TITTIES!"

"Oh...PS4?"

*goes out and buy*

It's subliminal.

Letting the masses know that PS4 is the tits in a manner they'd understand

 

[TheBioLover]

DriveClub may end up being the best looking game of next year, hot competition from inFamous, The Order, and possibly Uncharted, though.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Oh my.

 

[CorrisD]

what an amateur (fixed)

These are really cool, and the ads over the news papers and mags today, Sony has done some really cool stuff today for the launch.

Also, if DriveClub at 1080p looks as nice as the gif sized down, then it is going to look amazing.

 

[stargateheaven]

i like the "4" that appears. Anyone notice that?
The signs line up to make a 4. awesome.

 

[Slowdive]

Ooh I'm really liking the Channel 4 ads.

 

[Moozo]

Yeah, Channel 4 do that in all their idents. That's what makes it so cool

 

[gogogow]

Pretty cool vids, but that floating moutain to form the top of the number "4" makes no sense.

How does it look now?

[Wickerbasket]

The delay seems to have done it a world of good.

 

[Hasney]

Been watching this for some entertainment. Keeps falling in and out of stock:

I think it's selling quite well. Quite well indeed.

 

[bishopcruz]

As an american, it's nice to know that the UK solved the problem of flagging newspaper sales.

Also pretty cool on those channel 4 ads. Really creative shit.

 

[SwiftDeath]

So no official numbers from so yet?

300k for just the UK would be crazy

 

[mrwilt]

what an amateur (fixed)

Was this your idea, DemonNite? Subliminal "4's" in the ads? Absolutely brilliant.

 

[Delusibeta]

Was this your idea, DemonNite? Subliminal "4's" in the ads? Absolutely brilliant.

Nope, that's been the case for all of Channel 4's indents for a good half a decade now.

 

[mrwilt]

^^
Ahh. Very cool. Love the creativity.

 

[Wes]

Was this your idea, DemonNite? Subliminal "4's" in the ads? Absolutely brilliant.

Channel 4 do that "hidden 4" with all their TV "stings" before a show starts.

 

[GrimmUK]

Do the 4's actually appear ingame?

Kinda crazy way of subliminal marketing

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Wow, Sony are actually marketing the PS4. I'm amazed.

Probably saved a bunch of money not marketing the PS3 that they can now use for the PS4.

 

[stryke]

Of course not.

son of a bitch I can't find the hidden 4 here. ((

 

[Nightengale]

You're talking about a region that actually bothers marketing the Vita.

 

[Racer1977]

First I was like "am I supposed to see anything there?" and then "oh... clever".

Oh shit, looked at that so many times, only just noticed!

 

[LuuKyK]

son of a bitch I can't find the hidden 4 here. ((

I don't think there is one there. Its in this one instead:

 

[Iacobellis]

What signs?

EDIT: Never mind! I see them now.

 

[BKK]

As a former fan, if I still bought that shitrag I'd be annoyed that PS4 took away my daily boobs. Sony's first marketing mis-step right here.

Spoiler

I'm kidding about the mis-step but not the annoyance.

It wasn't too annoying, "Rosie, 22 from Middlesex" did actually get to appear on page 5 today.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Rosie from Middlesex is 23!

 

[DieH@rd]

It wasn't too annoying, "Rosie, 22 from Middlesex" did actually get to appear on page 5 today.

I DEMAND SCANS!

Oh sheeet! This is awesome.

 

[noobasuar]

Holy shit. If they sacrifice the game looking like this for all the people whining about wanting 60fps then I'm going to be seriously mad. This is on a whole different level to everything else.

God forbid that people are more concerned about having a sense of speed in a RACING game. SMH.

 

[Raist]

So no official numbers from so yet?

I don't think we'll get any numbers before chart track publishes the latest charts (Monday morning). Even then it will probably just be a hint and no hard data.

 

[Zalman]

I bet a million people bought PS4s today.

 

[BKK]

I don't think we'll get any numbers before chart track publishes the latest charts (Monday morning). Even then it will probably just be a hint and no hard data.

We'll get hard numbers if they break the record (185k).

 

[SwiftDeath]

We'll get hard numbers if they break the record (185k).

That's what I was thinking, no reason not to announce a win like that

But haven't heard anything yet?

 

[Y2Kev]

God forbid that people are more concerned about having a sense of speed in a RACING game. SMH.

What does that have to do with the framerate? People have bitched since time immemorial about gt's lack of one and nobody in their right mind thinks the need for speed games feel slow.

 

[imt558]

300K PS4 console sold in half day in UK. Incredible!

Btw. XO sold at 150k in 2 days also in UK.

PlayStation Domination!!!

Bit early for that

That's just a speculation on eurogamer's part

We've heard the company has flooded the UK with 300,000 PS4 machines - many of which are reserved for those who have pre-ordered

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

God forbid that people are more concerned about having a sense of speed in a RACING game. SMH.

I'm going to approach this in the most diplomatic way possible. These posts that well up inside you and spill out on the keyboard need to stop until they make some kind of sense.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

I hope they aren't using speculation they read on here as a source...

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Jesus, yet another one of your awful posts. Yeah, that nfs rivals game that runs at 30fps has an awful sense of speed.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

God forbid that people are more concerned about having a sense of speed in a RACING game. SMH.

60fps does not mean the game would have a good sense of speed .

EDIT i see people already take care of it .

 

[BKK]

That's what I was thinking, no reason not to announce a win like that

But haven't heard anything yet?

Chart-Track report weekly sales (Sun-Sat) every Monday. Expect numbers Monday morning (UK time).

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I predict 750K in the UK. Which would be massive.

 

[Rich!]

I'm pretty much guessing that the PS4 will beat the previous UK records by fucking miles. It's not like a Wii situation where it snowballed after the launch, this is like PS2-esque launch day madness

 

[Y2Kev]

I predict 750K in the UK. Which would be massive.

I predict 750million

 

[yon61]

I predict 750K in the UK. Which would be massive.

Huh? I have no doubt PS4 will reach that mark in the UK, but not before this year's done.
