PlayStation Saudi Arabia Reveals PlayStation 4 Launch Month?

It seems that the rumors of the PS4 console coming out sometime in October may actually be true according to a video that was released by PlayStation Saudi Arabia clearly titled "مستعدين لأكتوبر؟" which according to Google Translator means "Ready For October"

Is that even an official channel? Take a look at the activity feed, whoever is running that channel is "liking" other videos. Seems like this is someones personal Youtube channel.

xtremexx3901d ago

thought that too, but the video has even been put up by the official twitter account.

BlueBlood173901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

Don't official twitter accounts have that little blue tick next to their names?

I could be wrong, but I don't think this is an official Sony account.

EDIT: I just seen this comment on the vid... It makes sense, especially with the gamer's day logo at the end:

"This video is for Gamer's Day in Saudi Arabia in October. It is already scheduled for October and it's an event held by Sony..."

And finally, apparently this has already been debunked on NeoGAF. We'll know when it comes out soon enough though with the "release plans" being confirmed by Sony to make an appearance at Gamescom!

Iltapalanyymi3901d ago

yea. even Chris Owen is following it.

gatormatt803901d ago

@BkueBloood17

The blue check mark on twitter only means that it is a verified user. Meaning twitter can confirm that the user is who they say they are. They can still be official and not be verified.

President3900d ago

No its not PS4 launch. Its Sony Gamers Day in Riyadh.

How the hell did this get approved? Do some research before putting your shitty links on N4G.

I just hope the PS4 has a October release date.

FlameHawk3901d ago

If it does, it would come out before Xbox One, then PS4 would get games like Watch_Dogs and AC4 earlier since they are release date games. Oh and BF4.

SpitFireAce853901d ago

OCT 17th 2 more days and we find out i hope.

BG115793900d ago (Edited 3900d ago )

CBOAT just recently said in NEOGAF that the PS4 is ready to go in the end of October...

90% of what he says ends up being the truth.

TIER1xWOLFPACKx3901d ago

The official PlayStation channels from other areas like other video's all the time

Salooh3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

The uploader say it's official and the trailer is well made . But it doesn't matter , it will come when it's ready , i think sony will show the release date in gamescom . :)

The sooner the better :P

gaffyh3901d ago

This video looks as fake as...a fake thing, but I am quite convinced that October may be the release date.

GribbleGrunger3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

I'm not going to allow myself to believe the October release date ... I'm not going to allow myself to believe the October release date ... I'm not going to let myself believe ... Not a chance! No way! Not in a million years ...

Kydawg3901d ago

Don't be afraid. it's Sony, your best friend.

Retroman3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

YOU'LL know when Sony reveal the date and AMAZON send you e-mail saying your order is sent.

ZombieKiller3900d ago

I want the system when its complete. I hope October is the month! Thats not far at all!

Worldwide October Launch!!!

HammadTheBeast3901d ago

is unlikely.

But the major territories should be good.

AirJohnston3901d ago

Does Saudi Arabia count as a major territory? Lol

MaXsPoT3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

Nothing big, probably just a video teasing for an event called "Gamers' Day" in Saudi Arabia, which is going to take place in October. The PS4 will probably be there, that's the purpose of the video.

MaXsPoT3901d ago

We are going to know the release date in three days, why rushing anyway? :P

Modi19843901d ago

yes its gamers day.. and probably PS4 be there to try it
im form there ^_^

Williamson3901d ago

Novembers too long to wait...please be first week of October!

reko3901d ago

yes first week of October would be great!!

MajorLazer3901d ago

I want it now though :'(

James-GAMES3901d ago

Doubt that, beyond two souls comes out the beginning of october, Im going to predict an october 25th release date.

TheFutureIsBlue3901d ago

First week of Oct? I want it to be the first day! =p

Ketzicorn3901d ago

It wouldn't be that crazy to think late October. Didn't the PS1 and PS2 launch in October?

BlueBlood173901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

In the US it was PS1 in September, PS2 in October and PS3 in November.

In Japan it was December, March, November.

In Europe it was September, November, March.

There really is no way of knowing for sure, although I'd say that the first half in Nov is the most likely!

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos8h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos6h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje6h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum9h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum5h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola4h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum3h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola3h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum3h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad6h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola4h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos3h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai5h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK5h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

FACTUAL evidence10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville1h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
