Next Gen Gaming Systems

Sony PlayStation 4 expected at NY event Wednesday (today)

A bunch of broad topics discussed, with not very many specifics. 8 GB of RAM is confirmed. Playstation 4 name is confirmed. Dual processing is also confirmed.

Lots of focus on the social aspect of gaming. Some cool features there, but nothing that would make me want a PS4.

The system will be quicker. Boot times can be eliminated all together. Updates can occur without the system actually being turned on. You'll be able to play a downloaded game before it's finished downloading thanks to the dual processing.

I think this isn't going to help the console gaming industry much. Less social networking, more concentration on quality games (though thats on developers... I guess). No one wants to shell out damn near 70 bucks for 10 hours of (story line) game play then all you have is online multiplayer to do. Or maybe that's just me, since I don't particularly like playing games online with others.

Throw in that you won't be able to play used or borrowed games, and this might turn a lot of people over to PC gaming.

I hate online multi-player. It's the same shit but on different days.

Ps4 is supporting used games. Don't believe everything you read on the internet

Except that statement isn't entirely true. Yoshida said that used games "can" be played, he was vague and didn't say how. If you have to pay a fee after buying a used game, that isn't the same as playing a used game.

Sony and gaming publishers are most likely still in talks with publishers on whether or not a game will be linked to console and how.

I think not believing what you read on the internet can go both ways. I'm a little skeptical to believe these guys until we actually see the product.
