PS4 presentation will be hosted by Sony at GDC

The talk, entitled 'Overview of PS4 for Developers', "will discuss the technology from a development standpoint as well as from the design side."

[GiantFriendlyCrab]

will sony bring last guardian this time?

[My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante]

Not unless they're also talking about the PS3 in that same presentation.

[b163o1]

I'm pretty sure they will talk about the PS3, and what it's done at GDC. The PS4 is what everyone's going to interested in, cause people are ready to see what it'll look like, and get there hands on it. I'm interested to see what TLG has offer as far as gameplay but I'd be lying if I told you I was excited about this game....

[Adityac]

Leave it YEAAAAAH

[DwopeMunky]

Radio 1 Lethal reference

I agree

[sinncross]

hmm I am sure Sony will announce at least one new game at this event. Probably nothing on the profile of a Santa Monica or Naughty Dog title, perhaps something like a digital game (which to be honest would be good if Sony details more about the PSN functionality for the PS4)

Maybe some more Knack... I want to see more of that.

[Plagasx]

TLG is dead.

[Genuine-User]

Says no one from Sony.
The world wide president of Playstation confirmed TLG was still in development about a month ago.

[Donnieboi]

This event is for game developers, not a show for fans. Maybe they'll show some games, but I doubt they'll reveal anything new there. Wait for E3 for something like that.

[NateCole]

And here i thought it would be hosted by Kevin Butler.

[kingrev]

Agreed but what if they are saving him for E3? That would be nuts!

[b163o1]

Sony's going with a different advertising agency, so it's goodbye for Mr. Butler.

[kingrev]

You are right, completely forgot about them changing agency plus there was some trouble with him in the past aswell, its a shame at the end because that speech he did in E3 was just epic.

[brave27heart]

Dont think it'll show anything new since its aimed at developers and they'll want any new announcements to come at a bigger event.

[Root]

Well they could show off one new thing....one new detail isn't going to hurt. Even a tease of what the design will be like or a new feature. Long as they keep the big guns for E3 then they are fine

[GribbleGrunger]

Bare in mind that this is the Games Developers Conference. It's usually very technically orientated and not focused that heavily on games. We may (may) see 'some' new info come out of this, but nothing more than a snippet or two.

[mistertwoturbo]

Yeah hopefully we'll see some good developer insights on the hardware. And who knows, maybe we'll at least get some confirmed specs on the CPU speed.

[torchic]

thank you!

it's even alluded to in the article that Sony will have a stronger focus with the developers of PS4 software, but 96% of the commentors are hoping for new game reveals wtf!

what's this world coming to, where people hardly read the article they're commenting on? shameful!

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Some refreshed info on PS4 doesn't hurt. Hopefully they Talk about Killzone Infamous a little more.

[unchartedxplorer]

Might see a bit of Shadow fall multiplayer

[iGAM3R-VIII]

This will be interesting considering that most of the developers are praising it, it would be nice to hear what they would say

[yewles1]

I hope Sony kill off every single whiney excuse from lame devs so they can expose themselves with NEW BS that we can laugh at hysterically.

[Lou-Cipher]

Yeah, what is Bethesda going to do when their next game runs like garbage on a PC-like PS4?

I love their games, but absolutley hate their lazyness and lies.

[Prodigy-X]

More games please.

[supraking951]

save the games for E3, drop more info on the eve of 720 reveal LOL

[triplev16]

Looking forward to this. I'd like to see some more information on the Panta Rhei and Luminous engines. Blew my mind when I saw Deep Down, I'd really like confirmation that this is at least close to what we can expect next gen.

[DG90]

Oh a PS4 presentation will be hosted by Sony.. & for a second I thought Microsoft was going to do it.

[younglj01]

lol for some reason i laughed ......

[koston3647]

....I didnt laugh...but for the same reason.

[NateCole]

exactly

[SnowFox91]

Bring it to ME!!

[Dms2012]

Um, who else would it be hosted by? Anyway, I hope to see something unexpected, like a new Medievil or Jet Moto.

[DivineAssault]

Sony put its PS stamp on ALL of 2013.. They got great things going on for each one of their consoles.. Im already sold with PS4 as long as the price doesnt exceed $600 for the premium bundle (if there is one).. Any higher than that, i need to see a lot more before i buy.. I highly doubt they'll charge that much tho.. They said they werent making the mistakes as they did with PS3 & they know one of their greatest mistakes was taking the market for granted & charging that much for a home console.. Releasing after MS was another mistake i doubt theyll make this time.. Taking too long with AAA software was another mistake i doubt theyll make..

Anyway, im happy with my PS3 for the rest of the year, im happy with my PSV for the rest of the year, & ill be happy with my PS4 for the rest of the year.. Triple trouble

BTW, who else would host the PS4 presentation @ GDC besides sony?

[YourSavior]

Wonder if they'll reveal the actual console at GDC?

[SpitFireAce85]

When is GDC again ?

[portal_2]

25th March

[DOMination-]

Sounds like it will be incredibly boring

[Sarobi]

I'm sure Apple will be very disappointed to hear they couldn't host it. /s

[supremacy]

I didn't know this, but apperantly the dualshock 4 can be charged while the ps4 is in sleep mode. Off topic i guess, but this is pretty cool.

[Xtremist]

Hopefully they will reveal the secret magic sauce behind PS3 CPU.
I 'll be quite satisfied with 8 Vector Units, each one of them capable of 80-100 Gflops of computing power.
And yes my expectations are pretty realistic. I am just referring to Magic Realism...
