I think I'm unfortunately going to find it hard to get excited about any console in the next generation. I don't see games changing that much. What Sony showed off tonight was a lot of flair with little actual practical use (reminds me of Siri...). Social gaming as they showed it (streaming a game from one person to another, uploading videos) - cool, but I think people would rather play games with each other than watch each other play games. Nothing new. Remote Play is legitimately cool, but we'll have to see how well it works on average connections (and you need to buy Vita for it). The games...look like any game out today, and I'm not talking about graphics. It didn't really get me excited about the next generation.

Main dude absolutely said almost everything was running in real time. The very first Unreal Demo he moved the damn controller to show he was controlling the camera. Almost every other demo he said "running in real time."

And I seriously have to wonder if people were mistaking a choppy stream for choppy gameplay. Once I got a good stream from IGN, nothing looked choppy. Prior to watching it, yes, everything looked like ass, as the whole stream ran like ass.

Yeah I had pixelation issues, but I have a 3.5mb internet connection :p

The only game I noticed real issues was Watch Dogs, had noticeable screen tearing.

On another note are Blizzard that irrelevant these days? lol. Diablo 3 disappointed me a lot on the PC, but it's still a big announcement for Sony since they mentioned "partnership" quite a few times. Things like Bungie mentioning exclusive DLC is quite irrelevant in this day and age, but if Sony do indeed have Blizzard exclusivity I do not think that's something to simply shun off from this presentation.

Speaking of Bungie though Destiny is looking good, should help sell the PS4 to some of the Xbox crowd, at least in comparison to the previous way of Bungie games being MS exclusive.

Destiny is multiplatform. PS3, PS4, Xbox 360.

I know it's not PS exclusive, I just mean around Halo launches on the Xbox it literally used to obliterate the focus of any other game/platform for at least a few weeks at release.

Maybe pre-rendered was the wrong word. I meant pre-recorded. I don't doubt that the PS4 is capable of those graphics, my biggest gripe was 90% of the time was spent on third-party games and barely anything was about the console itself.

I was a little sad not to see some sort of design for the console, but I had to realize it's still soo far away and if MS do indeed wait till E3 to announce, Sony will still need a strong E3 so that the worlds largest gaming event doesn't become all MS and this February event becomes a distant memory.

What Sony did isn't even standard procedure so I wasn't surprised when they didn't show a PS4 console. And by that, I mean revealing games and showing demos well before the console's release date. Normally, Microsoft and Sony unveil their new consoles at E3.

What surprised me was Capcom's next-gen "Panta Rhei" engine. The dragon's fire breath looked very realistic. Also, I'm glad they're going to equip the PS4 with 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM. I wonder if Microsoft will increase the RAM of the next-gen Xbox to 12 or even 16 GB.

BluRay confirmed (like that was even a question)

hey guys, anyone know where I can watch the stream now?

Dont know about the Stream itself, but Kotaku has basically an article for every main aspect of the event in chronological order with accompanying video.

EBGames is putting the price @ $899AUD lol

https://www.ebgames....d/playstation-4

What was the PS3? $829AUD right? That does not seem right at all based on the rumors it was going to be less then the PS3 was.

I think the blu-ray player and the emotion engine chip dramatically increased the price of the PS3. Blu-Ray diodes are cheaper now so that shouldn't increase the price and there is no attempt at hardware B/C this time around.

Thinking about it some more, I just really hope the current Vita is capable of the Remote Play features that were touted. We all know Sony likes to release multiple revisions of their handhelds, and that would be one hell of a slap to the face to the 7 of us who have already purchased the Vita if the current iteration of it is not capable of the Remote Play. Guess only time will tell there.

Rumor 4GB... MS rumor 8GB...

Sony: Erm... we're doing 8GB of RAM!! lool

Blatantly last minute decisions :p

Erm... no it wasn't, the recent leak of the dev kits showed of having 8GB of RAM!!

The suspend/resume feature sounds interesting. Will have to see how well it's implemented though.

same way you put your computer or phone to sleep while playing a game and wake it up.

Dev kits in general always have twice the ram and usually completely different hardware as well. especially early on. so the dev kits having 8 gb pointed to the inal units having 4 in fact.

I think it is just regular Connected Standby, http://techblog.eidebailly.com/2012/12/18/windows-8-feature-connected-standby/

Any prices right now will simply be place holder.

Even with 8GB of GDDR5, and the apparently bundled PSEye, we'll be shooting for ~ $425.

The cost to manufacture will be cheaper by the years end, so it's obvious why pricing strategy is one of the last elements to announce.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
