And this is why they need to stop using PC as a scapegoat. Fact is Xbox 360 OFTEN gets pirated versions released in advance of PS3 and PC pirated versions. In fact both consoles appear to get much quicker/easier piracy than PC these days. The number of legitimate buyers just covers it up a bit (but then it would on PC too if devs actually knew what they were doing instead of punishing PC users with DRM and BAD PORTS)

All those devs who jumped ship from the PC blaming Piracy (...

Oh you haven't heard of it so it can't be true then?

PS3 is cracked wide open now. Any game is playable and while it's not as rampant as 360 piracy that's only because it took longer to do it properly.

And no you don't need an ancient FW at all, not anymore! And as for online, that is obviously a choice pirates don't mind making (same as multiplayer PC games).

As someone said above, with the new architecture, hacking s...

UK won't get it in 2013. No way. sadly.

@ziggurcat You should recheck your sources. See latest article on it. As said it's still a 'finger's crossed' scenario at the moment (apparently up to publishers but the tech MAY exist in the PS4 to be used at will).

No way am I'm buying games at the same prices we've always paid (high) if we can't even recoup a little by selling them on in time. Slash game prices if they want to play that game!

BC and RF are the two LEAST of my worries. No Reselling used games?, Pay to (basic) play online? were far more important imo and one of those seems to have been answered at least (used games can be used/sold - finger's crossed).

Now all they need to tell me is that yes I CAN play online in a basic fashion at least, for FREE and I'm sold on the PS4.

I have 2 PS3s here I couldn't care less about BC frankly.

Region free? Slightly mor...

I love the new controller, the sticks seem to be a big improvement as do the main handles/comfort. Triggers are much better (no more using my clip on trigger extenders!) but they possibly still look a little shallow vs the (actually very nice) triggers on my Xbox 360 controllers (That I use occasionally on PC not on my long gone RROD POS 360 btw) :)

Just hope the triggers still hold the fingers when depressed as the DS3 triggers was a seriously compromised design. Thank god s...

protip to Sony

if it's all about the gamers, ensure those gamers can resell their old games yeah? buying 10/20 games at £40/£50 each is a massive financial investment just to be sitting on a load of landfill plastic. It's also BAD for the earth :P - MAKE IT NOT SO!

Also - Paying to play online, the most basic of human rights after food, water and a good sleep. Do not put a 'Tax' on fun or you will suffer the wrath of gamers going bac...

It will be Nintendo ending up like Sega at this rate!

You believe anything don't you? Time spent on 'never meant for shipped game DLC' is time NOT spent on making the best game possible in the first place.

PAID DLC IS KILLING GAMING. IT SUCKS AND IS THERE TO MAKE MONEY FOR DEVS NOT TO BRING JOY TO PLAYERS!

Phuck PAID DLC - It's ruining gaming!

Agreed. Bioshock had 'shocking' gameplay. Splicers were terrible and boring to kill, physics was jittery and frame capped, energy bars over heads? wuh?? It also took it's self a little too seriously.

Definitely one of the most over rated games of all time. Looked cool, had a cool concept, and I wanted it to be amazing but it wasn't. Gameplay let it down big time.

And you are reviewing the review of the press conference in a way. We are all part of the mad repeating cycle of insanity now.

I've had 16GB of ram in my PC for ages. I think a lot of 'enthusiasts' these days have at least 8GB ram as it's so cheap. However it's not GDDR5.

And I can only see positives for the PC with consoles like PS4 on the horizon. Less shitty nerfed ports for one thing.

I play both PS and PC and will continue to do so to enjoy the best of both worlds. There are games on PS3 that I love too much to JUST stick with PC, and there's things on PC...

Tech aside - I said those two douches on the video. You are talking to a man who enjoyed Viva Piñata, Start the party (with my gf and friends), even a bit of Eye pet (with the gf) - but this? total wankery and ridiculous if you think it would be actually fun to 'make puppets dance' more than once? again WHO are you/they trying to impress with a video of such a thing should you create your virtual puppet show. Two grown men hitting each other's crotches with move controllers i...

I thought those 2 guys in the MM demo making the puppets dance were the most cringe worthy thing I've seen this year.

Anybody this side of age 12 gonna actually find it fun to pretend they are controlling puppets? and for who's benefit?

Never mind "Games as art", this is what's technically known as "games as masturbation".. Zzzzzzz

I think petitions like this suck. Since when did possible customers have to start begging a company to allow them to give them money.

Of course GTAV should be on PC but you won't find me begging, if they want to treat PC gamers like second class citizens these days then they can whistle for my $$$ and when it comes around to bite them on the ass, don't call us.

NOW - give me GTAV you miserable bastards :P

PC gamers and PS3/4 gamers are NOT mutually exclusive.

I am 50/50 gamer between PC and PS3 at the moment. Will be PC + PS4 in future if Sony don't f-up between now and the launch.

And rightly so, scum.

Nothing much impressive about tech demos sadly. We already saw those on PC and I doubt it was actually running on a PS4 even if they said it was, not that I doubt it can but last night?

KZ4 if NOT pre rendered/fake was far more impressive as it had the overhead of actual game code too, so if it looks that beautiful while actually being a game it's far more representative of what the system could do!

THere was one too many engine demos (multi format ones ...

This video last night was one of the few 'ooooh that looks fucking awesome' moments in a sadly lacking presentation.

If this is real footage then great news.

I'm also a PC nut - Crysis 1 fan blah blah, but it's not JUST about graphics. As someone who knows how well Killzone 2/3 play on PS3 already that gameplay with these killer graphics is why I'm excited.

Just hope Sony don't shoot themselves in the foot with the 3 u...
