Houser pretty much confirmed its on current gen in a recent interview. He mentioned how the best games always come out at the end of a system's life cycle. He credits the success of San Andreas to it, which came out just before the 360/PS3. His reasoning was that by then, devs know everything the system is capable of.

EDIT: And not surprised Watch Dogs is next gen. That game looks awesome. Don't let me down Ubi! (again)

Why not, it's only a 2 month delay. I'm getting the next Xbox anyway not the PS4, so this is all speculation on my part, but I think they will port it over for the PS4 and Xbox 720 as well. I play GTA IV multiplayer still, so if I can't play backwards compatible games, then I have to boot up another console?

I'm curious to see what they do with the next gen of consoles coming out 2 months after GTA V.

So they revealed the PS4, but didn't actually reveal the PS4?

They might as well have come out and said "we're making something, we'll show you when its done".

[Sainters7]

I mostly don't want to spend close to $1000 right after a big move just so I can play GTA V .

Plus I always find the initial next gen games to be kinda clunky (the mind-blowing graphics upgrade tend to cover it up, but its pretty noticeable a year or two later). I don't want the long overdue return of my all-time favourite series to be one of those games.

The whole presentation basically focused on immediacy, eliminating all of the time involved in playing PS3 games.

The game I hope this mantra affects the most, is EA's NHL game. Push a button and start playing, that would be uber. Get rid of load screen after load screen. Would save me a TON of time.

Nice! 8 gb should make all the media functions quite awesome. I hope they are smart and get some home theatre media function capabilities.

Any word on cost?

[StrykerSteve]

Cost not discussed, and the console itself was not shown. Probably too early, design likely isn't even done yet.

Remember "Kara" from the PS3 tech demo back in the day?

Yeah.

[StrykerSteve]

Killzone is confirmed to be a launch title.

[calumniate]

PS4 launch incoming! Duck and cover, save stamina and movement points.

That thing was great it was such a fantastic little story. If they were forward thinking with that they would have submitted it to the Oscars in the best animated short category.

Lol Sony launches a console but doesn't show the console. Don't ever change Sony.

I'm confused, are you impressed by the new Killzone? Because it looked freaking terrible. I've seen games from 2010 that looked more impressive than that crap, but then again Guerrilla Games isn't really that good at developing video games so I'm not surprised the new Killzone looks cruddy.

What's the point of having a huge draw distance, which is fairly impressive, if the textures are from the early 2001. The gameplay was also a huge joke, but like I said, it's a Killzone game.

ya after watching the video it doesn't even look as good as Battlefield 3 on the PC. whenever you see any of the textures up close they look like crap
