The connection is like the one used in the PSP for earphones; they go together though, so you can't connect two different things. It allows volume and mic controls. There are a lot of Sony products that use it. (Don't know about other brands).
The options button will replace start and select. The way it will be used is unknown yet. Maybe it will be like holding the PS button on the PS3 which brings out the system menu.
it is NOT a screen
madpuppy: I agree. There was an interview some time ago with Peter Moore stating all the details about building the first Xbox and the 360. He said that the one and only objective that MS had was to bring down Sony and that led to pretty dirty business moves.
He accepted that MS paid money to people to get games to their console and that his boss told him that it didn't matter what, they needed to screw Sony.
I wish I had the link, but if I find it, I w...
I used backwards compatibility on my PS3 when it launched, because I finished playing Resistance: Fall of Man and there wasn't another game I wanted, because the launch games were very few and not so good. So I bought God of War 2, and Shadow of the Colossus. I never had a PS2. After that, I played Kingdom Hearts II and I never used BC again.
With the games that have been announced so far for the PS4 (Killzone: Shadow Fall, inFamous: Second Son, Watch Dogs, Destiny, and ...
"I think I would have been wowed if there were more confirmations (price / date) and announcements (MIA PS3 games, and more PS4 reveals)."
But why would Sony reveal everything they've got in their first move, specially before Microsoft shows its hand?
All of those announcements will come for sure at the right time. There will be more game announcement surely at E3, and for the PS3 and PSV too.
Saying you weren't wowed becaus...
I agree with this wholeheartedly. Square Enix is the worst developer nowadays. They never released Versus XIII, and now they are teasing another FF for E3? I don't get why they were there in the first place. They screwed with Sony fans so many times this generation, that I don't think anyone wants them anymore.
"Essential details, like the cost of the hardware" This right there is what's wrong with so called journalism. Who in the right mind was expecting Sony to announce the price of the PS4? When has a company announced a console and a price the same day?
PlayStation - Gen 1
PlayStation 2 - Gen 2
PlayStation 3 - Gen 3
PlayStation 4 - Gen 4
It is as good as any SquareSoft game and million times better than any Square Enix game this generation
The sweet spot for a PS4 with the right features and specs is $499, which I see more realistic than $399. The times have changed since the PS3 launched at $599 and I think that more people will be willing to pay for the PS4 this time. Also, considering that Sony might me preparing a good launch line up, it's going to be an easier choice.
The only problem I see is that Sony fails at the marketing. They used to be great at it, and hopefully with the new agency they hired, t...
The Wii U should have been the Wii, then we would have something better for this new generation. However, video games are at a weird point right now because everyone is trying to make games (or change already stablished games-dead space- into casual games.
I really hope that at least one console stays true to its root and continue to bring games the way are supposed to, and I surely pray to whichever god there is that this microtransaction BS doesn't become the norm.
There's no way Uncharted 4 will be revealed this year. I expect them to reveal the game until at least GDC 14, because I don't see it being a launch game for PS4, but more of a launch window game.
If all PS4 announcements are true, then it will be an exciting time for us with all the new games announcements, however they might all come until E3 and TGS
Exactly! That's what I've been saying forever! Why mess with an already stablished franchise? Why can't they create a new IP to broaden the audience, instead of doing it on games in their second or third sequel.
There are two things this generation that are the worst (IMO): Japanese being obsessed with creating games like western, and making games already established, casual.
I really hope all these stop next generation of consoles, otherwise, my ...
What I mean Kingdom Come is that they will only tease it. Of course they will talk about the PS4, but it won't be a full reveal. We might not even get a final name, but a codename like NGP when Vita was first shown.
Thinking by your logic though, It would also be great if they do reveal the PS4 and spend the time talking about capabilities, etc (maybe not specs though) and then use E3 to announce games for it.
Anyways, whatever I think or you think is o...
I am thinking that they won't reveal the PS4 yet, but might see some tech demos that will showcase the power of the PS4 or at least what their vision is, hence See the future.
The actual console might be revealed at E3 and a price and the controller (if there is anything special, or it's a new design) closer to launch.
The measurements are wrong. The disc slot is horizontal, but the width of the device is much shorter than the length of the disc.
I really like this game. The biggest problem is that the premium stuff is really expensive, and getting donuts for free would take forever just to buy a small thing. But it's EA so what to expect?
It's action based with turn based elements. What this means is that you can move around in battle, but have to select your commands with a menu (that appear as your character's thought bubbles). You can counter attack moves, switch characters, use familiars (up to three per character), etc.
I agree with Number 6!. They should start the game by having Ganon attack and go directly to an epic boss fight. Then having to pass a dungeon with another boss waiting at the end, but attacking at the middle of it as a surprise.
In short, have way more action than any Zelda game ever!.. The game and story fits those changes
It's going to be awesome!.. They have outdone themselves with this new game. I can't even imagine how the next one will be. The best fighting game from an anime series.
