Hope the triggers dont suck again

Yep. So I don't have to by some $10 plastic to put on the end of them.

I don't know how I feel about that controller..

I think the hand test would be the deciding factor.

Seems like a small touch screen, but I guess it depends on what sort of role it would play in the games. I don't want anything like that Vita Concept controller someone posted several pages back.

PlayStation Evolution: The Beginning

PlayStation’s arrival to the world of gaming signaled a change in the status quo and a sign of things to come. The original PlayStation system emerged in 1994 in Japan as a dark horse challenger, a seemingly outgunned newcomer entering a crowded field dominated by legends of the 16-bit era. PlayStation’s advanced technology and innovative controller design won raves with critics and gamers, and in 1995, the system expanded to North America, Europe, and Australia. Accompanied by a powerful salvo of titles including WipEout, Crash Bandicoot, and Gran Turismo, PlayStation’s rapid rise marked the end of one era of videogames and the dawn of another. The world was never the same.

WSJ: Next Sony PlayStation to Stream Games

Sony Corp. 6758.TO -1.87% is planning to offer technology to stream games to its next videogame console, people familiar with the company's plans say, alongside other enhancements to bolster its position in the market.

The new technology, to be unveiled Wednesday along with the new console, will allow users to play games delivered over the Internet, these people said. The streaming service, they added, is designed to use current PlayStation 3 titles on the new console; the new device is also expected to play new games stored on optical discs.

The streaming technology is one of the new features and enhancements expected to be offered with the new console, which Sony plans to unveil at an event in New York. Sony's new PlayStation, for example, may control the action with higher fidelity cameras for its "Move" motion-sensing technology and touch-sensing pads on new controllers, according to people who have seen and been briefed on the devices.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/15/sony-ps4-gaikai-streaming-rumor/

We're just a few days away from Sony's February 20th "see the future of" PlayStation event where we expect to see the next edition of its home console, and the rumor mill is buzzing. The latest one tonight comes from the Wall Street Journal, with a report that connects Sony's $380 million purchase of cloud gaming service Gaikai last year with a method to provide backwards compatibility on the PlayStation 4. The WSJ reports Sony has been "investing heavily" in preparing Gaikai for an influx of PS4-equipped gamers, while also developing better cameras for its Move and the DualShock+touchpad controllers we've seen recently.

What's not revealed however, is any potential pricing plan, or whether cloud games will work users existing cloud saves. While buying fully digital copies of games we already own is less than appealing, if Sony can implement something like the abandoned UMD-to-PSP Go "good will" plan, then there may be benefits for all.

New picture

I would like the touchpad to be taller and combined with a LCD, for sports games you could put the box score, stats, etc there.

Looking forward to Wednesday, just wish I didn't have a meeting at 6PM EST, might have to put it on mute during the meeting.

Cost will be the big question mark here I think.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

It would be cool if the touchpad/lcd or whatever it is, displayed stuff while games were loading. Like game facts. scores, or whatever you want I guess.

While Comcast's cap is going up to 300GB a month, I imagine a lot of Canadian PS3 users are ticked. Small internet caps don't go well with streaming games.

Well, I have one physical game and that's the show, only because there is no digital download, I just hope that the incorporate something to the fact that Sony knows what games I bought and I don't have repay, that will be bummy.

[CMH]

I'd be more open to buying a PS4 at launch if I can stream new or old PS3 games I do not own and want to play.

Not worried about the games I do own since I will make sure I complete them and sell them along with the PS3.
