PS4 hardware design not finalized - Sony

Sony president of Worldwide Studios apologizes for not showing hardware last night during reveal.

"I'm sorry we did not show the hardware," Yoshida said. "But we have plans from now--in February--through the year for the launch. We like to disclose things based on what we think we really want to communicate first. And next time we will talk about these things."

If Sony had shown off a PS4 unit last night, it would not have been representative of the final design. Yoshida was asked, "Is the final hardware finished?" To which he bluntly responded, "No, it's not."

You see guys, it's just not finished, stop complaining about everything!

jujubee884819d ago

Wait, I will answer that: idiots.

SantistaUSA4819d ago

I'm really excited about PS4, with that amount of fast ram it will make everything so smooth, be able to download/upload, switch between games and all seamlessly.

I'm thinking Sony wants to see what Microsoft is gonna come up with to do some adjustments, so I hope Microsoft try to push the limits :-)

Exciting times my friends! :-D

Sony is making the best even better.

@Bathyj

Its their loss

UnholyLight4819d ago

I like how blunt the guy was, no run around. Good chap, guess we all kinda knew anyways

nukeitall4818d ago

Of the Sony staff, I really like Yoshida. He always comes off as honest, willing and attempting to address your real question.

UnholyLight4818d ago

Hey, dont forget Kaz! Love that guy.

What this means is that actually M$ can be in the same situation and still revamp the specs of the next xbox also.The show didnt end yet for neither.Fight power with power seems in order until we actually see a full build from the two.

jukins4819d ago

you know this article is talking about the look of the console not the specs right? at this stage in the game hardware specs are pretty much final as possible given a launch later this year.

Riderz13374819d ago (Edited 4819d ago )

People care more about the look of the console rather than what it has to offer...Come on guys just grow up. They didn't show the console, so what? Did it get you hyped for the PS4 or at least for next gen? I'm sure it did get you hyped, if you say no then you are in denial.

They can't give out all their cards on one event. You guys are forgetting GDC is slowly approaching and then we also have E3. They have to save some stuff.

Be happy that we get a console reveal in FEBRUARY!

Seraphim4819d ago

I was definitely disappointed that we didn't get to see it. But at the end of the day do we really care what it looks like. It's not a car or clothes. It's a gaming console that we will either buy or not buy but it isn't something we will not buy just because we don't like how it looks. DVD player, Blu Ray player, AV Receiver, do we overlook the ones we dislike based off looks? No we buy the ones that are cheapest, have the best specs, have the features/functions we're looking for, etc. Really at the end of the day they could release a plastic box and slap PS4 on it and as long as the components are inside do we really care? Probably not. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see what the final build looks like but the fact of the matter is regardless of how it looks we will be buying one.

joab7774819d ago

Of course not. What do you have to gain by showing off the ps4 before E3, tgs, or microsofts reveal. What matters anyway are the specs, and software. Is what it looks like even matter right now?

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose5d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE4d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername4d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy4d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde4d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire864d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire864d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster30004d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle4d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk774d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
