What Did You Notice in the #PlayStation2013 Video?

PlayStation Euporia writes - "As PlayStation revealed what could possibly be the first promotional video for the PlayStation 4. As is the norm with promotional videos from any company, they are usually filled with dozens of “Easter Eggs” that can hint to various announcements or features. Let’s take a look at what we could see or hear in the latest PlayStation promotional video."

[DaThreats]

It's a video from god

[konnerbllb]

Looks like we might have an announcement soon.

[LackTrue4K]

anybody noticed that the lights hitting the ps symbols, the light that hit the O was yellow not red?!? just like all the others where ment to match the ones on the controllers....

[blackbeld]

Yep,

Be the first and win the war. PS2 was launched a year before came cube and xbox.

[DOMination-]

Dreamcast? Saturn?

[Denethor_II]

"Yep,

Be the first and win the war. PS2 was launched a year before came cube and xbox."

I don't think the PS3 could compete with the Wii because of the price point, even if it had launched first. And it has now surpassed the 360 so your statement is not necessarily true.

[Ritsujun]

PS4 announcement with the announcements of Uncharted4,Killzone4,Resistanc e4,GodOfWar4

and... inFAMOUS3 on PSVITA and inFAMOUS4 on PS4

i came from 20 Feb 2013, now bow before me

[Sarcasm]

It's an ad, not a Kojima trailer. Some people just digging too deep.

[Donnieboi]

Quote from article that made me stop reading:

"As many of you know, the idea of having announcements at E3 might not be as likely due to rumors that the next-gen consoles would be announced before E3"

I don't think they'll wait until E3 either, but I sure as hell know that "rumors" don't have the power to dictate what Sony will or won't do. The author gives rumors too much credibility.

[syanara]

Rumors do have credibility as they show the market criticisms as well as consumer thoughts on new products, Additionally everything about the article should be circumstantial based entirely on the title of the article as there is no "Absolute" evidence that this is PlayStation 4 at all. Purely a rumor and speculation article that is given for the entertainment and discussion value. Nothing here is meant to be taken seriously.

[aCasualGamer]

I agree with you that every rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, but there is always some truth to the rumors. There is a reason the industry is becoming more secretive as we entered 2013 and rumors are unfolding.

No titles, have been announced for 2013 fall. That is a first, there is always some titles announced for fall usually, and now there is none. That has to mean both Microsoft and Sony have "unannounced" titles for fall that they are keeping a closed lid on til the right moment.

GTA V getting a September launch just proves this. Rockstar wants their last "BIG" game release for a PS3/360 title to be grand finale. Just before gamers buy their new consoles they get to enjoy one last big supper.

Sony aren't ignorant, they know there are millions of fans listening and reading every word that's said about PS4 on the web and that fans are waiting. So, them releasing a "announcement" video tease is deliberate and a good PR strategy. Now... is it just a PR strategy or is their really an announcement of new hardware come 20th feb? Who knows?

Time will tell my friends. Just wish it was the 20th already.

[morkendo23]

was disappointed instead of console all i seen was X,O,triangle,square.

nothing more.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

There's always a hidden message.

[Bumpmapping]

Greatness PS=Gods gift to gamers.

[EverydayGuy]

I say humanity gift to itself.

[Conzul]

And on the 8th day, God created Playstation, that man might be happy after making woman happy.

[Good_Guy_Jamal]

At one point I could have sworn I saw something that looked like this http://www.gameranx.com/img... and I instantly went from 6 to midnight, excuse my crudeness.

[AznGaara]

Yeah, while switching from button to button symbol you can definitely see a rectangular shape that doesn't fit in with the thickness of the square, x, triangle and O buttons.

[mi_titan27]

i noticed that too. it also looked like a blue light on the top left front

[Gamer39]

"..The company wants to reach back to one PlayStation which was at the top of its game during the PS2 era.."

I hope, my one favorite console ps2.

[evilhasitsway]

well vita was anouced about the same time in 2011 and released that oct. look it up. im saying ps4+feb 20 = 2013 release.

[nolson10]

I looked it up. You are wrong. It released that DEC in Japan and in Feb 2012 in the US. But I do think ps4 is releasing this year.

[BitbyDeath]

Someone else posted this but looks like an eject button at around the 6 second mark.

http://cdn3.sbnation.com/en...

[Ezz2013]

mmmm, dat eject button :)

[WooHooAlex]

Mmm not sure about that one. Looks like a small triangle floating next to a larger triangle. You can see them pretty good at the 4-5 second mark too.

[Premonition]

Or it could also be a Play button.

[first1NFANTRY]

The illuminati triangle lol jks

[trancefreak]

Ah and the sick EDM. Sony always brings the underground sh1t. Love it!

[Funky_Homosapien]

anybody notice the triangle looked like a 4 at certain points in the video?

[WooHooAlex]

How many seconds in? I'd like to see it.

[Jamoora]

yup i saw it too...actually twice and i think it was not by coincidence.. There is always a hidden message and that probably was it.

[ziggurcat]

all i saw were the button icons. i think people are trying to look too deep into this whole thing.

[Campy da Camper]

Sony is notorious for the subliminal stuff. Kojima is right up there with them.

[WeAreLegion]

No. Sony always adds subliminal stuff. They have a huge history of it. Valve does the same thing.

[juandren]

Kojima is the master of it. I wouldn't even be surprised if he and Kaz got together and had a few lulz over this video

[r21]

I dont know, it looks like they're teasing the next console's shape or just my eyes wishing it was PS4. God damn Sony, your teasers are like mind rapers, you've got everyone speculating like hell!

[Campy da Camper]

No, I saw what looked like a box of some sorts all glossy with an edge maybe vents I dont know I'm losing my mind with all this anticipation.

[r21]

Yeah, i saw a box shape in the video too @_@ Must keep expectations low or i will be hugely disappointed.

[Williamson]

I hope the announcement/release date of the ps4 doesnt completely overshadow some of the ps3 exclusives coming out, like Puppeteer and Beyond.

[shackdaddy]

Hmmm. Let me take a whack at it.

Announcement on 2/20/13
It's in 2013 -> 1+3=4
Feb 20 -> well, divide the day by 10 and add the month 2+2...4
The trailer on the main website is 44 seconds
44 -> 4
Today is the 31st so there's another 4

Looks like there's four 4's based on my deduction...
Four 4's...
PlayStation 4

Now pay me.

[WeAreLegion]

My God...

[insomnium2]

How much would you like...?

[shackdaddy]

$4,444

[PinkFunk]

haha I had a good lol

[cleverusername]

You should be burned like a witch!!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

How about 4 quarters?

[Phoenix76]

What Did You Notice in the #PlayStation2013 Video?

err.... a square, a circle, a triangle and a cross :D lmao

[chrispseuphoria]

Read the article rather than just looking at the title.

[Phoenix76]

I did read article. And watched the video. Get a sense of humour man.

[cleverusername]

Oh yeah because the article makes SO much sense!

[smashcrashbash]

Okay why do people think it is Gaikai? Are you telling me they drag the press and all their stock holders to talk about something they already knew about? If i remember right last time they had one of these they announced new hardware so why is a PS4 so hard to believe? People are saying nonsense that they brought Spyro and Crash back or it's a God of War announcement? Do you seriously think they would waste their time to call everyone together to say that?

[2pacalypsenow]

This means 2pac Is ALIVE! /s

[strigoi814]

ok guys ill reveal to you what i've seen...man sony's gonna knock on my door the next day for sure....

http://i50.tinypic.com/swbc...

now tell me its not PS4..its kindah boxy looking..a blend of solid plastic and transparent glass? lolz

[PS4isKing_82]

That's just the square icon reflecting in the x symbol.
Not a console lol

[mi_titan27]

hey shonen, nice pic!

[KingKevo]

They just wanted it to look cool. Imho there are now easter eggs/secrete messages in this video whatsoever.

I know it's always fun to speculate and come up with theories, but in this case, also judging by what the guys one the side wrote (like wtf?! Some of their theories are just to funny to be taken serious), it's probably just a waste of time. Let's just wait and hope for the next 3 weeks, I don't think the video is telling us anything really.

[dmN_114]

the only thing i noticed was that the color for the circle button is yellow instead of red since ps buttons always had the same color for each since launch.

triangle = green
square = pink
x = blue
circle = red

[dmN_114]

for comparison

[RevXM]

Maybe the different color on one symbol means they are
Altering the overall design of the controller as well.

A slightly bigger conroller, more rounded and with concave triggers, better precision and more solid build. Thats just what Im hoping to see though.

Could absolutely be a hint. But it might just be a little screw up.
Either way all this, a little shower of transparent symbols, lights and edges surely fired up a lot of people.

[black911]

Infamous 4?????

[cleverusername]

If you play it backwards it tells u to bleach your anus!!

[kenshiro100]

Lol.

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

When i first seen the video i also noticed the curvy edge design like it could be a console design! All i know is i can't wait for FEB 20!!!!!!!!!!! BRING IT ON SONY

[MoB21]

Honestly I thought that was a horrible article. While I do agree that there are probably some hidden messages, the ones the author pointed out seemed way too forced.

EDIT: Still PS4 though

[PS3ROCKS]

My 20th birthday is that day.

[MakiSaad2]

Beware The King Of CONSOLES IS BACK

[kingmushroom]

its a wild mushroom trip

[inFAMOUS_KRATOS]

what i notice

at 00:04 - you can almost see the whole system

it looks glossy like the edges on the sony bravia and lg tvs you see know n days.... more...

you can see blue line in the middle of the 4 secon pause screeen that is blue... the system is not a solid color but glossy black and glass look to most likely

at 11 second-

it looks like a classy ps2 look to it with shade on the edge meaning it has the bravia edges you see on the tvs n days/

[jacksheen0000]

What Did You Notice in the #PlayStation2013 Video?

Nothing really. All I saw was a BLACK SCREEN.

NOW GIVE ME THE DAM PS4 SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ritsujun]

aww calm your tits btch

[jacksheen0000]

How nice! Another Air head.

[stuntman_mike]

it's gonna be a great time for gamers, and a torrid one for console elitists.

[TBONEJF]

After reading the title in the article I GOT A CLOSE LOOK piece glimpse of the console. soo excited can't wait till FEB 20TH!

[xxLuckyStrike]

Could be the start-up screen to ps4 only glorified

[patriotZero]

god of war 4
Uncharted 4
Killzone 4
PlayStation 4

[Godz Kastro]

Hopefully this is not the case and they have some new ip's which will define a new generation. Im all for seeing current gen games on new platforms but this is where we usually see developers taking some chances on new material.

[Godz Kastro]

If PS4 comes out before Nextbox then I will buy one and MS console as well. If Nextbox comes out first then I might not buy a PS4. Heres hoping Sony comes out first because I love new tech...This is their chance for me to invest in them again.

[Indo]

With all these new PS3 exclusives releasing soon, I wasn't expecting a PS4 any sooner but that time has come I guess. I really hope the PS4 is announced Feb. 20, Long Live Play

[Daves]

I saw all sorts of things I can't begin to describe (was tripping at the time tho).

EDIT: In fact all I want from PS4 is a music visualiser in the form of 'Milkdrop' or today's equivalent.

[Live_4_Gaming]

i saw a 4 a couple times during the trailer, you just gotta watch. Can't wait for this!

[sprinterboy]

late 11 seconds is defo the ps4 imo

[jalen247]

I noticed the future!

[lfclee]

It is easy when you switch on the ps4 you'll get the the ps logo we just seen in the video , I like it .

[danimitsu]

at about 9 seconds in, I see some squares that look similar to whats on the Gaikai website http://www.gaikai.com/ ... plus the overall color scheme of the video seems to match the Gaikai site as well. just guessing tho :)

[sprinterboy]

see what u mean with the gaikai website

[Azurite]

Was probably just seeing things due to the nature of this video but I kept seeing fours made up by abstract shapes.

[sprinterboy]

agree watched about 10 times so far in slow mo and pausing, so much in that video its unreal.

[aLiEnViSiToR]

hmm they might release PS4 on 04.04.2014... and then say oh we have 4 new IP's too :]

man i wish i had a PS.

[LilTone]

Hey those playstation buttons are floating in ORBIS?
Lights represent shooting stars ;p ie speed of the machine!
