The Official Playstation 4 Thread - News and Info

its the other way around. The small timers like sessler and etc are mad because they don't have a ps4 early to review

but they said theyve been reviewing a ps4 game all week in office, howd they do that without a ps4?

They have a devkit or something?

more than likely. They confirmed on gaf personally that they would like to be able to have the console In their private time early to play it rather than go to the event that sony invited the other major outlets too

They've been given access to dev kids and preview builds, but if they are expected to give an honest review of the product, then they need to be able to use it in normal everyday circumstances. More importantly they aren't allowed to capture the videos and publish them for ad money.

This nikka just said removable battery pack

yeah so you don't have to trash the controller and buy a new one when the battery dies. if you still have a PS3 15 years from now and wanna revisit a classic the controller's battery might be shot. at least on the Xbox you can just throw some AA batteries in there and go.

And that why all the rage on twitter is about the game reviewers, but of course neogaf tried to make it like it was a MS or X1 issue.

The vibe within the industry is that Sony isn't ready from a software or hardware standpoint for the PS4 launch. The 300 megabyte day one patch that brings critical features to the console is reminiscent of Nintendo's rushed Wii U launch. So is its launch lineup bloated with multiplats and peppered with a lackluster first year of exclusives. Deja vu?

Sony has talked the talk, but will it be able to deliver? At launch, probably not. The hype surrounding the console makes it appear that it's a gift from the gaming gods with a "supercharged" GPU, a focus on gamers, and a price point that fits just about anyone's budget.

But honestly, everything points to it not having the polish it should. If Sony was really ready, it'd be showing it off to media—including Sessler— much earlier, and would display much more confidence. For now, it seems anything but. This begs the question: how will all this impact the sales of the console? We'll find out soon enough since the PS4 releases on November 15th.

Has nothing to do with copying. It sounds like Sony is hiding something

Maybe they just don't want to risk ANYTHING while they're on top with more than 80% of the preference of future buyers worldwide? Marketing nikka

Xbox also gives you a removable battery pack last i knew.

You have to buy that separate though.

You do realize that you can open up the back of both the PS3 & PS4 controller with a screwdriver & replace the rechargeable battery?
