The future of PlayStation is all about great games and entertainment, and at PlayStation Meeting 2013, we brought some of the brightest and most creative minds from the development community on stage to unveil the games that will define PS4. A partial initial lineup for PlayStation 4 includes first-party games from Guerilla Games (Killzone: Shadow Fall), Sucker Punch (inFamous Second Son), Evolution Studios (Driveclub), and Japan Studio (Knack), as well as titles from our partners such as Activision/Bungie (Destiny), Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo III), Capcom (Deep Down), and Ubisoft (Watch_Dogs). PlayStation also reinforced its commitment to self-publishing and the independent development community by having Jonathan Blow onstage who gave a sneak peek of his upcoming title The Witness. Finally, the incredible minds at Media Molecule and Quantic Dream gave glimpses of their conceptualization process and the future of gameplay with some remarkable footage. We only scratched the surface at the event, and will have many more exciting titles to come.

Our next generation console will change the way you interact with friends while you play. PlayStation 4 lets you instantly share images and videos of your favorite gameplay moments on Facebook with a single press on the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s “share” button. You can also broadcast while you play in real-time through Ustream, allowing friends to comment or jump into your game in new ways.

With PlayStation 4 we also want you to access your games quicker than ever before. PS4’s “suspend mode” eliminates the load time on your saved game and allows you to immediately return to where you left off by pressing the power button. PlayStation 4’s background downloading and updating capability also allows you to immediately play digital titles as they download, or update the system when the hardware is powered off.

DUALSHOCK 4 adopts the familiar form factor of the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller with some key enhancements:
  • - Motion control is enabled by a new highly sensitive six-axis sensor
  • - Dual analog sticks fine-tuned for better precision plus improved surface materials and shape for more delicate manipulation
  • - L2/R2 buttons on the top of the controller employ a curved design for easier, smoother interaction
  • - A new “Options” button combines the functions of the DUALSHOCK 3’s “Select” and “Start” buttons for operating in-game menus

Something got me thinking about the price in Brazil.

A while ago, Sony announced a press conference for October 24th, just one day before the Brasil Game Show fair, where, as the name suggests, there will be lots of gaming companies and we will be able to try PS4 and XONE and other things as well.

Now, for me, it doesn't make sense to announce the PS4 price a week before your own press conference to do exactly the same.

Also, all their social media accounts are kind of silent about this. No one's talking. They only said that the price is that because of the government taxes, which is about 70% of the total price. Even if it was, the price wouldn't be that high.

I still hope the price is not this and that they're kidding somehow.

With all these release titles pushed back, I'm actually debating on cancelling my pre-order. Someone talk me off the ledge.

Don't jump CHE! :p The main reason why I was getting a PS4 on release day was for Watch Dogs, damn game has been delayed :( I still have to play/finish the current gen games that have been recently released, GTA V/Beyond 2 Souls/The Last of Us/ and I'm getting AC: Black Flag for my PS3! :thumbs: Plus, I have to move soon so I think I'm gonna end up canceling my pre-order and just end up buying it after the New Year... :wtf:

It's the pre release cold feet Che! Watch it come out and you cancelled and everyone is enjoying their system, but you will be sitting at home wanting one.

Me and Che will still be playing our PS3s! :p
 
Killzone was my main want at launch. I was pre-ordering that and Watch Dogs, but i'll be fine as long as Killzone doesn't get pushed back as well.
 
I read online today that Target was cancelling the orders of people who bought the Watch dog or Drive club bundle. And if they wanted to try and get the system they would have more on sale next week online on a first come first serve basis.... Now that is just a slap in the face for some folks :(
 
Sony Brazil has given word:

'Thanks to all of you that shared your opinions about the PS4 high price in Brazil. We are frustrated too with the 4,000 BRL price, and soon we will be able to show you the reasons. Thanks for you passion and stay tuned for more details.'

I still believe they're kidding.

The bundles getting cancelled above are the reasons i'm glad i pre-ordered my system before the bundles were available. Plus i went with Amazon like normal, who never lets me down.

Yeah no kidding, I pre-ordered before bundles were put on their listings. I wanted nothing to do with bundles. I will make my own "bundle" if I want to.

I have pre-ordered all my mine through amazon as well. And I know they easily resolved theirs by just removing the game and letting people have the system. But target has just gone nuts!


IM sure most stores set aside a fairly large chunk of "bundles" to try and get more moved. It always seemed like Walmart had more online bundles than individual systems.

I honestly dont understand why target isnt just sending you the console. Arent they just adding the amaray with the game on the side? Seems rather crappy of Target to do that
 
Well that and a controller. But whoever came up with that stupid idea I hope they get a lot of back lash and get in big trouble.


That image was from someone online but I do know someone who had pre-ordered this thru target because the had a red card and got a bit of a discount?
They have not gotten the email yet but they went ahead and was able to pre-order from somewhere else to be safe .
 
I pre-ordered through amazon and target, but I didn't pre-order bundles. Pretty lame of Target to do that, and if it was an instore thing, the would just give out the system.. but the website is lame and operates completely differently. Maybe because the people aren't in the US, so they are just following the policy they are given.
 
I'm still unsure about my DC & WD preorders,should i cancel & get my money back or swap for AC4 & COD???I think i would be just replacing them for the sake of it when there's enough content on PSN,plus my KZSF & FIFA 14 preorders will probably do for now.
