Time to geek out.
What are you looking forward too?

I'm looking forward to more on the PlayStation 4, a competent Vita lineup, and some NHL 14 news.

Looks like a possibility of a November 3rd release date for PS4

Just a rumor though.

Yeah that rumor is wrong. That picture was teasing a new Ratchet and Clank game that will be coming out on the PS3.

Yeah, it seemed a little far fetched for them to assume it was for the lunar eclipse on that day.

I wish it was right. I wonder if Microsoft and Sony are playing the waiting game to see who will reveal their release date first.

They'll likely announce at the end August at one of the conventions.

I have heard several rumors that Sony wants to go to retail before MS so the early november release dates kind of make sense.

Mother****erJones · 07-11-2013, 04:13 PM

I would think they would want to make a jump on Microsoft

aturnis · 07-11-2013, 06:32 PM

There have been a lot of "leaked" release dates so far. Circulars quoting a date, or in store displays, as well as corporate emails from electronics stores. Most are from like November 12-18 I think.

PS4 digital library sharing gives you access from any console

Since the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are almost identical as far as performance specifications go, it’s merely just a war between features and functionality. Both sides are trying to win over the hearts of gamers with innovation new features that aim to change the landscape of gaming. Sony thinks they have a pretty unique solution in the bag.

The company’s R&D senior team boss Neil Brown announced at Sony’s Develop Conference that PS4 gamers can access their purchased games on any PS4 console. Brown also touted the new “play as you download” feature, where you can play games as they’re downloading them to the console.

Essentially, gamers can log in to their accounts from any PS4 console, and they can start playing the first bits of any digitally-purchased game that’s available in their library, even if it’s not from their own console at home. If your friend doesn’t have a specific game that you want to play, the “play as you download” feature is about as good as it gets.

The background downloading while gamers begin playing their games is made possible simply by background processes. Brown says it’s a similar method to what Blu-ray players use, and chunks of the game are copied automatically to the hard drive. After the first few minutes, the game is able to begin playing.

Xbox One has a similar feature where you can begin playing games while they download and install onto the console’s hard drive. However, one huge benefit for the PS4 at this point is the low price tag. Sony’s console will only cost $399 when it launches later this year, undercutting the Xbox One by $100.

I'm confused. Didn't Sony say 12/31 during the E3? Was that unofficial?

Quesadilla Joe · 07-11-2013, 08:20 PM

No Sony hasn't said anything other than "coming holiday 2013."

Amazon had it listed at 12/31 but that date was just a placeholder.

Mother****erJones · 07-11-2013, 09:05 PM

I wouldn't think it'd be 12/31. They're usually released around november.

Quesadilla Joe · 07-11-2013, 09:17 PM

Yeah there is no way in hell they miss Christmas

Mother****erJones · 07-11-2013, 10:31 PM

That would be reeruned. The whole point is get it out IN TIME for xmas

It is a placeholder and nothing else. Just about every console launch has taken place before Thanksgiving weekend or the weekend of Thanksgiving.
