I love seeing "PS4" and not having be in speculation articles. It's amazing to think that it's real and it's less than a year away. The Ustream partnership is going to be an awesome addition as well.

BanBrother4075d ago

Yes, Ustream was quite impressive for the most part. On N4G, the video lagged for me. I then went to IGN, it lagged. Then GameInformer - lag.

It worked the best of the actual Ustream website for me. I missed the whole Capcom presentation in between switching sites lol.

I don't think they expected that many people to be watching it. It was amazing. The hype surrounding the reveal and the amount of people watching it can only mean very strong sales for the PS4. Can't wait for GDC and E3.

despair4075d ago

Was pretty stable on game trailers for me. Originally tried to go to the ps blog but couldn't even get on the site.

RioKing4075d ago

^this. I had all sorts of troubles tryig to watch the vid, until I went to gametrailers. It was lag-free and awesome!!

JetsFool35004075d ago

Ustream is used to alot of traffic thats why it ran smoothly

porkChop4075d ago

The Gametrailers stream was flawless. No lag whatsoever, even in HD. I watched the whole stream from start to finish on GT.

rbluetank4074d ago

i noticed that too. it lag on playstation blog as well. Ustream was the best one i watched it on.

Looks like Ustream is comfortable, this meeting's viewers alone broke records, they'll be happy about the partnership.

Crazyglues4075d ago (Edited 4075d ago )

wow - "more than 7.5 million viewers, with a peak of roughly 1 million concurrently. This shatters all previous records for concurrent viewers"

That's insane... Good sign for Sony, means the excitement for PS4 is huge...

I can't wait for E3, I just want to see more games, I still can't believe what I saw at the press conference..

Killzone.. OMG!!! DriveClub.. Wow - Just wow, from the guys that made Motorstorm - evolution games... I mean I was excited to just hear the specs for PS4 and then they showed Games.. OMG!! -that's when my head exploded, it was just too much awesome to take in..

This Fall is going to be the best ever time to be a Gamer..

-and so it begins-..

I had to refresh the page about 4 times because it was so watched.

Blastoise4075d ago (Edited 4075d ago )

It was weird watching it thinking 99% of gamers are sat here doing exactly the same thing I am.

There was a strange tension, ya know? lol

I bet most gaming forums turned into a temporary wasteland

b163o14075d ago

I had to watch first half in German, cause the I couldn't connect to the English one lol, but eventually got into the English room lol desperation

-Alpha4075d ago

GT had one hell of a stream. Beautiful HD, no interruptions.

cervantes994075d ago

Exactly! GT was fantastic for this event.

Stream looked beautiful on my iPad.

Toon_Link4075d ago

I was having a tough time trying to decide where I'd get the best stream I wish I went with GT now.

doctorstrange4075d ago

They were about 3 seconds behind Ustream tho, and I don't want people to hear reveals before me

Merrill4075d ago

I couldn't get the GT stream to stop loading. I never had it once work for me.

despair4075d ago (Edited 4075d ago )

Agreed. they worked great for me as well.

Lmao @doctorstrange

dafegamer4075d ago

yeah gt stream was flawless

TheGamerDood4075d ago

It's a damn shame because Sony's cast was HD/60fps but the freezing was really aggravating, right as they started to talk about the hardware it froze up. lol GT saved the day though.

Sony did a great job promoting the hell out of the PlayStation Meeting. Though they didn't show the console at all, there were enough third-party games. A better than average presentation.

G20WLY4075d ago

“Better than average”?! lmao don't go too mad with the hyperbole, will you?!

Yes...Well I can't disagree, as such, but I'd be so bold as to suggest it was “quite a bit” better!

RememberThe3574075d ago

That new PR agency is working wonders already.

dbjj120884075d ago

And it ran like sh** for it!

porkChop4075d ago

lol, should've watched it on Gametrailers. Crystal clear HD, and it ran silky smooth. When it comes to livestreams GT is one of the best.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

Fieyy4h ago

First the Helldivers launch and then this

Sony still can’t run online services/games.

-Foxtrot3h ago

Do you not get tired creating duplicate accounts...

It's super sad at this point

Knightofelemia1h ago

Last time I remember Helldivers is doing great with players both PC and Playstation.

And how was it at launch? A disaster for weeks.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC5h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer6h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6026h ago(Edited 6h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya4h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde4h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
