Official unofficial Gen 4 hype thread: First Full-HD™ port announced

[ME##]

I don't doubt the reasoning is something like "We know we won't have a fully-working and fully-tested OS by the time we start manufacturing these systems, so let's rely on updates to give us more time to work on it. We can just require customers to update the system after its launch by shipping an OS that can't do anything else but update."

i guess.  but it just seems cruel to people who don't have internet access at home. 

seriously

i can only imagine that it was an intentional decision designed to give sony more direct control over whether or not the consumer updates soon after launch

ugh seriously

I don't think that's the target demographic for 8th gen systems in general

Both PS4 and Xbox One really expect everybody to have some sort of internet access, although they at least respect that for some people the internet access might be down occasionally.

[PLEASEHELP1991]

lol, way to completely undermine the utility of something being advertised as one of the ps4's biggest new features

well you can share videos from twitch.tv to youtube
you can't just do it directly

psn confirmed for more advanced than xbl

Though I'm still half expecting sony to be setting themselves up  for a fall with theirs when they actually get a lot of people trying to do it.

oh yeah.  i guess it's a matter of setting too high of expectations.  i'm not sure how onlive/gaykay played on 'average' north american internet connections when they were niche products still, i'd imagine not all that well or surely the products would have been more popular beffudlement

Actually though, I think some dvds take longer to start up than that these days

After [Gran Turismo 6], most… all of our large teams will move on to PS4. But we’ll continue with smaller teams or external partners to support PS3 and PS Vita.

sad that the ps3 won't have a ps2-like end-of-life trajectory, but it's no surprise that they want to ditch it as soon as possible

and vita confirmed for last gen console

also, the ps4/xbox one hdds are close to 466g(i)b in size, of which in the ps4's case ~57gb are reserved for the os

might as well buy a 1.5tb hdd with a ps4 anyway lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

or just wait until they inevitably release a sku with a larger hdd in a year or so

sadly, i think they'll still put in smaller capacities than that lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i'm sure

but i'd be satisfied with 1tb, at least
