Title: PS4
Post by: swagdragon123 on June 12, 2013, 11:14:54 AM: "So the big guns have fired their salvos at E3 and it looks like Sony is making the early running. A lower price, more powerful hardware and a popular stance against DRM put it ahead of its main rival after the first hurdle."
PlayStation E3 Press Conference 2013 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DmoZAPDV3ew#ws)
"If you missed out on the initial PS4 announcement event, which contains a lot more hardware information, you can watch a condensed version below."
PS4 Announcement - 10 minute highlight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RommjUIzEAQ#ws)
"Video games are often presented as being cutting-edge entertainment, but at E3 Sony struck a massive blow against its main rival by simply standing still. DRM, digital licensing and mandatory internet connections have become big topics in this fledgling console war. Microsoft?s plan was to join the likes of Apple, Amazon and Steam - with content that lives in the cloud and is attached to your user account rather than physical media - with all the restrictions and advantages that entails."
Official PlayStation Used Game Instructional Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kWSIFh8ICaA#ws)
"It wasn?t a popular move though, or at least not popular with those on gaming websites, forums and twitter. And so Sony scored an open goal by announcing that disc-based games would work the same as ever, yours to play, yours to sell and yours to lend. This sounds simple compared to the Xbox One?s DRM system which you can read about in our Xbox One article, but at least Microsoft has detailed exactly how its system will work."

I have a 360 and a PS3, the PS3 gets much more use admittedly but the PS4 destroyed the XboxOne at E3.

Infamous, Uncharted, God of War, Killzone. I really like the exclusives Sony has, plus I have a Vita and "every" PS4 game will be able to remoteplay on the Vita.

I'm still not 100% sure if I'll be a day one buyer, probably wait and see what the launch lineup looks like

Honestly I don't think I've ever been so hyped for a game as I am for Star Wars Battlefront. I still play Battlefront 2 daily.

I know I can't believe it, they hit the nail on the head brining that game back from the dead. have they released gameplay footage or other info?
