Sony Computer Entertainment is showcasing the PS4 in Italy at the Games Week trade show in Milan, and the staff at the booth finally decided to debunk the widespread rumor alleging that games at events and on demo stations are running on PCs and not on actual PS4 hardware.

Haven't both Microsoft and Sony already done this?

Abriael3827d ago (Edited 3827d ago )

That's Microsoft, not Sony. Unless Major Nelson has suddenly jumped the moat :D

xPhearR3dx3827d ago (Edited 3827d ago )

Yeah I know, I assumed you meant Microsoft since you didn't specify and there's pics of the PS4 in the article. Sony has been showing off the PS4 at their stores for a couple weeks now. I saw someone post a picture of the PS4 itself and the controller up close last week while playing Knack.

I guess this is where the picture came from. One of these. http://blog.us.playstation....

Yeeeah, the hatemongers need to get their act together:

if they used PCs, then the whole PS4 overheating thing that was blown out of proportion (in a container with no ventilation, when container was opened PS4 went back to normal operating parameters) wouldn't make sense.

There's also numerous people who took pics of themselves playing the PS4.

The only reason why Nelson had to show pics was because when a Xbone-looking station malfunctioned at an event, it showed a PC running windows:

Now, it could be that it was merely running the xbone through the PC like they said you could do, but will that give the xbone's graphics a boost, and not representative of the actual graphics? I don't know, time will tell; since that incident happened, hatemongers decided that the PS4 had to have been running on PCs as well.

bintarok3827d ago (Edited 3827d ago )

The real question was what 'games' that being played on the actual PS4 in the events. People are keep bashing it because they could only see Knack, DriveClub, and indies. They haven't seen BF4 or COD running on retail PS4.

edit. i forgot to include KZ4 in the actual list. Tx abriel.

Abriael3827d ago

@bintarok: this one plays Killzone. You can see it from the label at the top.

Army_of_Darkness3827d ago

How do I know it's not a pc in the form of a ps4 huh?? This is madnessssss!

sAVAge_bEaST3827d ago

@Army

Well it is a Super Computer, in the form of a Ps4.

DOMination-3827d ago

PS4 in "playing a playstation4 game" shocker.

Whatever next.

1nsomniac3827d ago (Edited 3827d ago )

Microsoft did upload pictures of "real" Xbone systems in action at an event after they had already been caught out once but they were quickly debunked again as 1 blue screened to a Windows 7 OS.

Proving that not only did they lie about it running on the console AGAIN but also that they didn't have enough faith to even run there own Windows 8 OS with their own gaming software.

Khajiit863827d ago

@pixel

I would love a desktop with an xbox one built in it. "Kinect load windows"

Army_of_Darkness3827d ago

I wonder if my disagrees were due to the lack sarcasm humor? :-$

BBBirdistheWord3826d ago (Edited 3826d ago )

of course there were real ps4s on display.

How else would they have got a pic and video of a real ps4 overheating while in operation?

In fact there were numerous reports of real ps4s glitching, also.

It was a real ps4 and it did overheat/glitch. No question.
No matter how much the ps4 fans disagree.

How did the next gen start with excitement and end up like this? WTF happened? We are no longer talking about features and our favorite games we can't wait for. Instead were waisting time on stories like this and rumors.

PeaSFor3827d ago

we are pretty much "killing time" while waiting, its normal.

ThanatosDMC3827d ago

Pretty much because we want the new consoles all ready.

Abriael3827d ago

@ThanatosDMC: unfortunately I'm quite sure there are many out there that would wish the opposite.

fullmetal2973827d ago

Nah, its what fuels the fanboy wars and this website is nothing but a giant war room.

Khajiit863827d ago

Dude I cant wait to get in line at bestbuy for my PS4.

That is why the state on the article they explain that still some myths running around on tweeter and people that still believe is truth thats why the show the pics again

1nsomniac3827d ago (Edited 3827d ago )

Although Sony has been using real ps4's for a long time as seen by Yoshidas on stage demo a while back. Although xbone used massively overpowered pcs then they came out admitting they were pcs but then said, "here, ok these are now running on real xbones" with xbones in full site only to find out yet again that there not actually connected & again connected to hidden pcs again!!

Microsofts actions so far have been disgusting for the entire release of the XBone. It has nothing to do with fan boyism. The 360 was great, the XBone is a console being pushed by corporate idiots who want to get as much profit out of as little work without the slightest bit of knowledge of their subject matter!!!

That's why there's so much hate for them now!!

I_AM_ CANADIAN_19893827d ago

After looking at these pics of the ps4 in the sealed plexiglass boxes and all the overheating rumors, I hope sony have started adding a vent with a exhaust fan. Not that hard to install. #endtheps4abuse lol

maddskull3827d ago

microsoft weren't
showing games with the xbox one first they were using a powerful pc

saber000053827d ago

Microsoft on multiple events used PCs instead of Xbox1

Well considering the thing launches in a little over 2 weeks, I'd hope they weren't using PC's to show off PS4 games. E3 was around 6 months before launch. Made sense then, not now.

Abriael3827d ago (Edited 3827d ago )

You'd be surprised how many comments I see on articles even like yesterday with people alleging that PS4 games still run on PC on demo stations and at events.

It surprises me every time. No matter how many times you tell them that it's 100% inconceivable that store demos run on PCs, because Sony (or microsoft) would never, ever give access to a PC including files from games to store clerks they have no control on. Can you imagine what kind of can of worms that would open?

pyramidshead3827d ago

haha this will definitely shut any xbox fanboy up about the games running on PCs.

Even they will some how try to find some way to spin this like the ps4 is photoshopped into the picture or something ridiculous.

Nice to see Sony squashing rumours.

iamnsuperman3827d ago

I didn't realise this was a big rumour. They could have east put the PS4 on something nicer than a cardboard box

Flyingdog6703827d ago

Well at E3 they probably ran on dev kits, but in recent events and the demo stations, i'm sure that they were running on the actual hardware. Still, some people would still say they were running on PC's.

xXxSeTTriPxXx3827d ago

Because kzsf looks that good.

Foxgod3827d ago

Both Ms and sony used pc,s in the past.
Its obvious, if games where fully ready to be shown earlier, then they might as well have launched the consoles earlier.

The hardware and software where simply not mature enough yet.
But a good pc will run anything you trow at it.

DoesUs3827d ago

Will it play XB1 games or PS4 games like Ryse or KZ:SF?

Be terrific if possible.

Foxgod3827d ago

if the source code is compiled for those platforms, then yes.

LoydX-mas3826d ago

It is bizarre that only here on N4G could a post like yours get so many disagrees when what you posted is absolutely correct.

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.

blackblades1h ago

Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno3h ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

just_looken44m ago

This right here

Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal

Imagine if sony kept up ps home development

The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss

u-bEttA-rUn2h ago

Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.

Tacoboto3h ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.
