4 is better than one...

Posted by reeflotz
Don't forget its important feature against Xbox one as posted in the rumors thread:

Official PlayStation Used Game Instructional Video

hopefully we get to see games utilizing TressFX Hair simulation technology developed by AMD and Crystal Dynamics ported to PS4, at first I thought it was a gimmick, but it was totally worth the performance hit when I played Tomb Raider 2013 on PC, it definitely made the game look much better.

That's the only thing I can credit Samsung for.

Last time round, Xbox came earlier, was cheaper and had a better online experience (according to most), but the PlayStation 3 was more powerful and could play blue ray.

I got the PlayStation 3 in the first month of release.

This time round, the PlayStation 4 is more powerful, more game oriented, can play used games, can play without internet... AND is cheaper... AND comes out at the same time... AND has caught up in internet experience... AND can stream PlayStation 3 games...

Sony have won this battle.


Posted by razec
M$ has become too greedy with their recent products forcing their consumers to deal with it, good thing they haven't monopolized the game console market yet so there, they got their asses kicked hard and painful.




again, those who thinks PS4 copied XBone neither have heard nor played PS2

PS4 FTW I AM GETTING THIS

Posted by Rockarel
I've had the 360 since launch and have been completely satisfied with it, but PS4 absolutely has my money this time around! Can't wait to have access to more than just cod and blockbuster sports games (which I never played). So excited I can finally play journey! That said, Ryse looked fairly cool. I think that Xbox will get back on their feet and do fine, but Sony absolutely won the opening of the console wars and played their cards perfectly

I agree. XBO is about to lose a lot of customers to the new PS.

Tetsu Sumii. He was also one of the product designers responsible for, among other things, the α380/330/230, the Cyber-shot DSC-T700/T77, the Extension Line by Vaio and, how could it be otherwise , the Xperia Z/Xperia Tablet Z.

He got talent...
The design is always different...which is a good thing...

Posted by randomuser
He also designed the C905 cybershot


Posted by razec
Now that guy must design Honami

Posted by Detox
I think and believe it's him. I haven't seen any rumours or confirmations in the WWW yet. But if you rewatch it with him in mind, then it's quite clear that he is our man . Also, if the pictures of the people involved in the Xperia Z/Xperia Tablet Z article are in order, then he was the second most important one after Suzuki, who only was responsible for Xperias until now, or the most important one, if work in other areas of Sony is a must .

The DualShock 4 design looked out of place, they could've made top edges more angular while maintaining good ergonomics

oh and PS4 design also reminds me of IBM blue gene supercomputer



Posted by alenn
The design is great.
The sharp edges could be dangerous!
But it is better than the other consoles couse some of them look like toys..

Posted by etaab
My only issue with the design is it looks a bit too much like Xbox One. Square and simple.

Also this is now the point where instead of being being critical of Sony, im the total opposite. Well done Sony.

I'll definitely be buying one. Ive had every Playstation and worked hard for 6 months as a 15 year old kid to buy the first Playstaton. I doubt i'll get one until a couple of months after release as the first batch of consoles tend to have hardware issues and the games are all a bit rushed, simple or linear on any new format.

Its game over already for Microsoft. But their console is also strong, which keeps the market competitive.

As expected back on top!!!

I just don't understand Microsoft's business model. Its bizarre !

to add insult to the injury

I know this XBone bashing is OT but I guess I couldn't help but post this

Hahaha ! that's the best GIF ive seen this year.

I know this bashing is rather immature and could see many people regret what they're saying now, the One could win the coming next generation war for all we know, but surely Microsoft need to rethink their plans. For so much humiliation to happen prior to release, they must know customers are going to be put off.

Does anyone know if it's possible to tether the PS4 to an android phone using usb cable and not Wi-Fi?
[ This Message was edited by: goldenface on 2018-05-21 10:50 ]


Posted by DarkKrypt
Not possible to my knowledge ,
Wireless Tether? If you can't for whatever reason...

maybe USB to ethernet if IF the HID protocol allows it
So phones micro USB charging point USB male to ethernet male (or female doesn't matter )adaptor ether ~ ps4 female ethernet port

i also tested it with laptops years ago - USB from phone plugged in laptop /PC (like you are charging you phone from PC) it's called USB Tether
Then you choose either connect ps4 to The laptops wifi or plug and ethernet cable from PC to PlayStation ethernet port.

Gonna do a quick google...

Edit - from Reddit and i remember doing this on my PS3 haha and ad-hoc below.
'USB tether from an Android phone to my laptop. Then I tether that connection over WiFi using Connectify'

You can use ad-hoc too
Link - link

Any reason why?
[ This Message was edited by: DarkKrypt on 2018-05-21 13:08 ]


Posted by goldenface
Thanx DarkKrypt.

The reason? I'm ditching my Sky TV and broadband package which is costing me £70 a month.

My new mobile data package is AYCE but I suspect this might include only 30GB of Wi-Fi tethering. It's three times the data speed, though. Wired tethering might be necessary.
