You know, if they announced The Last Guardian for ps4, I'd buy it immediately.

Though, that didn't work out too well for me with the PS3.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Double Fine, but man, they took the Braid creator and Bungie away from Microsoft. That's gotta hurt.

Dorito Pope talking to Chris Metzen about Diablo 3. 3 things together I couldn't give less a shit about.

Overall, it was a console launch presser through and through. I'm optimistic. They said nothing about limiting used games, which is a plus in my books because that anti-consumer nonsense can eat my dick. Lots of social nonsense for you people that like playing games with other people. I'm stoked to see what Media Molecule does with that sculpting thing. If it's good it's the only reason I'd ever want a Move. Destiny looked cool. Watch_Dogs has got me hook line and sinker so if it ends up disappointing I may quit gaming altogether.

So pumped Destiny will be coming to PS. Also, I would waste hours with that move sculpting thing as it is right now. Knack looks promising and Watchdogs remains my most anticipated upcoming release.

They're not going to confirm something like that until they have to. They know it will be universally hated by everyone other than developers. They'll try to slip it in as quietly as they can.

A few questions or items come to mind for me:

1) I assume it'll still have a disc player (Blu-Ray, likely). They'd be shooting themselves in the foot again, ala PSP Go, if they went all digital.

2) They already confirmed that it will not be reverse-compatible, which is bullshit to me.

3) I'm concerned about one thing: what happens to all the products I purchased already on PSN? For example, will I be able to carry over my PSN-bought copies of Double Fine's games or Limbo? I really, really hope so because otherwise, that's even more bullshit.
4) I hope it won't be exclusively online necessary.

5) I'm curious to see how the "friend takes over for you" works. Hopefully it's something you can turn off if you don't want to be bothered. Obviously it would need to have both parties agree, but I don't want to be bombarded by requests or something.

Yep, the fact that they didn't confirm that they're not doing that is a point against them in my book.

Anyway, it looks...alright. Sony's never been a big deal for me (other than for Square games back in the day), so it's nothing unusual there. Bungie jumping over to the PS is noteworthy at least. The graphics don't really look too special, though maybe that's just the quality of the videos online.

I'm pretty sure this is the case or else you wouldn't be able to play a lot of PSN stuff between your PS3 and PSP.

I'm willing to bet they won't, so they can introduce the PSP2 to go with the PS4 Network games.

It's called the Vita.

And Nick meant games he already bought as PSN games. Suggesting you can't would assume Sony is doing away with the whole PSN to replace it with something new, which is an option as stupid as Microsoft getting rid of X-Box Live, and yet not beyond the kind of dumb shit Sony has done in the past. Dammit. They wouldn't even go Nintendo on us and let systems blink lights at each other as they pass the info along.

I like that you instantly knew who it was just be saying how many pages he puts out. He's a talented artist but he's coasting by entirely on reputation at this point.

Yeah I used to check his site daily. Now I go back every six months or so, given how infrequently he updates, and how so little happens in each individual strip.

That's STILL $100 too much. I only payed $300 for Xbox 360 SP, with two games, a controller, a month of live, and a headset. For $400, I'd better be getting at LEAST a game and a month of PSN +.

If 400 dollars is too much for you for a new, honestly extremely powerful piece of gaming hardware at launch, then you need a new hobby or to wait for a price drop.

People buy fucking ipads for 600 bucks or iphones for 400.

Looking at price listings, I suppose it IS average for a Playstation console. PSX cost about $460 in today's dollars. PS2 was about $400 itself.

I guess I'm just used to $300 because that's the price point Nintendo always tries to never break.
